Chapter 398: No News is the Best News
Since Tie Zhu was quarantined, no one has revealed what illness he has, and then three more people have been sent to the quarantine area one after another.
In order to avoid cross-infection, Yun Qixi came out of the isolation area in a critical area, and Tie Zhu was the only one living in the intensive area.
The entire refuge area was so quiet that it was depressing, watching the people in the court silently busy, everyone was like a great enemy, and this group of people faintly felt panic.
Yun Qixi was standing by the steaming cauldron, putting the herbs into the cauldron himself.
After a while, footsteps hurried close to the tent, and a young man lifted the curtain and entered, his face solemn.
"Queen Mother, another, the fourth."
Yun Qixi pointed a finger, and a handful of medicinal herbs in his hand fell into the steaming pot.
She turned and looked at the comer, with a subtle hint of sadness in her calm expression.
"Tong Xi, are you afraid?"
The person who came was Tong Xi, who used to learn medical skills with Gu Yuan in the Jin Palace, Tong Xi is very similar to the original Xiaoluzi, his life experience is very pitiful, he has no father and no mother since he was a child, since the Jin Palace's mansion was sealed last year, Gu Yuan, who was already old, has returned to his hometown, and he has been doing chores in a pharmacy. It was by chance that Yun Qixi met him.
Although Gu Yuan's medical skills cannot be compared with Yun Qixi, at the moment, he can indeed be called a skilled doctor. Tong Xi has followed him for many years and learned a lot, only doing chores in the pharmacy, which is indeed a bit condescending. So Yun Qixi took him back to the palace and placed him in the Tai Hospital. Bringing him out this time is also the intention of cultivating him.
Tong Xi quickly shook his head and said firmly, "Queen Mother, if we are all afraid, won't the people be even more afraid, I believe that Queen Mother's medical skills will definitely cure them, and everyone will be fine." ”
Yun Qixi looked at him for a while, as if he smiled self-deprecatingly, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to come from the sky.
"I'm not a god, and there are times when I can't do anything."
Since coming to this era, she has experienced a lot, and she has always had an arrogant confidence in her medical skills that surpass the ancients, but this time, she really felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
The country, the people, is the responsibility and mission of Shan Liancheng, she volunteered to come to the disaster area, because she wanted to share his responsibility. But reality slapped her so cruelly.
If this plague spreads out of control, what she worries about is not how much infamy she will endure, but how will the history books record this single Liancheng? Will the people of later generations scold him for being incompetent, and even think that the first emperor paid the wrong person back then?
"When this medicine is boiled, let's divide it among everyone, everyone should drink it, and don't leave any of them out."
"Okay." Tong Xi obediently came to the pot to guard the medicine.
As soon as Yun Qixi came out, a little boy of four or five years old knelt directly in front of her and hugged her legs, as if he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
"Queen Mother, you are a good person, a big good person, you let Huzi meet his father, Huzi misses his father."
Huzi is the son of Tiezhu, and since Tiezhu was quarantined, Yun Qixi did issue an order that no one was allowed to visit.
Hu Zi Niang also knelt down behind Hu Zi and wiped her tears.
"Queen Mother, the child's father is the god of the family, you can do it, let's meet, right?"
Yun Qixi shook his head lightly and glanced at Ge Feng, who was standing on the side, and Ge Feng immediately stepped forward and pulled the tiger away.
"It's good if you hate me, or hate me, and none of you can go to see me until the iron pillar is healed."
To tell the truth, Huzi and his mother's pleading made her feel very uncomfortable, but in order to let them live well, she had to cruelly interrupt their thoughts.
She put on homemade gloves and a mask and walked straight to the intensive care area.
Ge Feng stopped her first, "Niangniang, it's dangerous here, you can't go in." ”
Yun Qixi glanced at him and insisted on walking in, "I don't go to see them, do you want to let them fend for themselves?" ”
Ge Feng took a step forward and stretched out his hand again to stop, "Niangniang, if you have three longs and two shorts, my subordinates probably don't know how to explain to the emperor." ”
Yun Qixi smiled faintly, turned to look at Ge Feng head-on.
"Ge Feng, you have been with him for so many years, you should know him, in those years of fighting on the battlefield, did he care about his own safety? If this time, I can't come up with a solution and let it spread, and I don't say that you know the consequences. How do I explain to him? How can he explain to the world? Will he and I have to apologize for our sins? ”
In fact, if she doesn't talk about the seriousness of the matter, how can she not know Ge Feng? But everyone has their own mission, and his mission is to protect her, and he never forgets!
But he also knows her stubbornness, and the things she decides usually don't change.
Ge Feng didn't know how to convince her, only to stiffen his hand. Yun Qixi didn't say anything more, and directly pushed his hand away and walked in.
In the tent of this seriously ill area, Tie Zhu was the only one.
When Yun Qixi entered, he was lying on the bed, his face was like ashes, his spirit was sluggish, his eyes were half-open and staring at the things in his hand, and when she approached, he saw that in his hand was a grasshopper woven from blades of grass.
"Have you drunk the medicine?" She asked, standing not far away.
Tie Zhu looked up a little with a little difficulty, and when he saw that it was her, he wanted to get out of bed in a panic.
"Lie down." Yun Qixi said.
Tie Zhu hesitated for a while, and then lay down again, his expression sad and his voice weak.
"Drinking, it doesn't seem to make much difference between drinking and not drinking, Queen Mother, are the grass people running out of time? It's nothing to die, the grass people are just ......"
The seven-foot man seemed to be choked up when he said this, and paused for a while before continuing, "I just can't let go of Huzi and his mother." ”
Yun Qixi remembered the scene when Huzi held her leg and begged her before, as well as the tears of him and his mother, and his heart seemed to be suddenly caught.
Not far away, the family can't see it, which is indeed a sadness, but it is also a kind of helplessness.
"Pessimism is not good for your condition, take medicine well, and there will be a chance of getting better."
After a pause, her expression was serious, and her voice sank a little, "If you really have something, I will arrange their mother and son." ”
As a healer, she shouldn't have said such a blunt and cruel thing to a patient, but she guessed he would have wanted to hear her say it, so she said it just to reassure him.
After hearing this, Tie Zhu was really relieved and looked at her gratefully.
"Then the grass people thanked the queen mother."
After seeing the iron pillar just walked out, Shi Xiaoliu, who was standing not far away, strode towards her, frowning, and his face was very bad.
"You're in?"
"How can I find out about his condition if I don't go in?" Yun Qixi asked calmly.
Although Tiezhu's illness was not announced to the people, they themselves were naturally well aware of it.
Especially when they saw one after another people falling, everyone panicked and was far away from the quarantine area, but Shi Xiaoliu saw her come out of the intensive care area, and she forgot her identity in a hurry.
Yun Qixi didn't care about his attitude, and knew that he cared about her, so he softened his voice again.
"It's okay, I'm a doctor, I know what to pay attention to, how to prevent it, don't worry."
As she walked away from him, she heard him muttering behind her.
"I've never seen a woman like you make herself so tired."
Yun Qixi listened to his tone at this moment was quite childish, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, turned around and lost three words.
"You don't understand!"
Yes, he doesn't understand! If she wasn't tired, Shan Liancheng would be even more tired, and if she was tired for him, he would be less tired.
In the past, she only knew that power and stability complemented each other, but now, she has a different understanding.
Behind the power is not only stability, but also responsibility and pressure.
Today, the water receded a lot, and some people's corpses were recovered. But Ah Shan still hasn't been found.
Shan Cong stood at the water's edge on crutches, looking at the water, stiff like a sculpture.
"No news is the best news, isn't it?"
Yun Qixi came behind him quietly.
Shan Cong glanced back at her, his gaze returned to the water, and nodded halfway.
"You're right."
In the end, the iron pillar did not make it through, and went that night. And this result Yun Qixi had already expected, so she would say those words to him during the day, so that he could go with peace of mind.
After the news came out, all the sleeping people got up, bright torches shone in the distance, and the people gathered around the quarantine area from a distance, watching two people wearing special isolation suits lift the iron pillar out of it.
As soon as the iron pillar was carried out, Hu Ziniang's mournful cry rang out, and she wanted to rush up and was stopped.
Everyone only cared about pulling Huzi Niang, and didn't notice that Huzi suddenly rushed over.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
Although the child was small, he ran very fast, crying as he ran, and fell to the ground with a thud before he could get close to the iron pillar.
He was about to get up and catch up, but he was hugged by Ge Feng, and Huzi cried and made trouble in Ge Feng's arms, beat and kicked, and even scratched his face with his hands, but Ge Feng kept holding him and didn't let go.
At this moment, the child's pain is completely understandable.
The people present were all moved, and under the light of the fire, grief and fear were written on everyone's faces.
The body of the iron pillar, including everything he had touched, was burned in a col.
This night, the firelight illuminated half of the sky, and Huzi tossed in Ge Feng's arms for a long time, until he was tired.
The next day, early in the morning, Yun Qixi saw Huzi sitting on the hillside, looking in the direction of the col where the iron pillar was burned last night.
The little back looks lonely and pitiful, and people can't help but want to go up and hug him.
Yun Qixi walked lightly behind him, faintly heard the cry, she sighed in her heart, walked a few steps closer, and was thinking about saying something to comfort the child, when she looked down and saw what was lying in his little hand, her heart suddenly sank.
