Chapter XXVII: The Cure of the Plague

The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, Qin Miaomiao felt that she might be a mess, but she didn't get better, and she still couldn't eat.

While stirring the white porridge in the bowl, he glanced at the chicken leg in front of Su Mu, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reluctantly scooped a spoonful of white porridge into his mouth.

Su Mu sat upright, with an elegant style, eating quite exquisitely, even the dishes and chopsticks would not collide with the sound, swallowed a few mouthfuls of food, glanced at Qin Miaomiao, who was staring at him, helplessly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said seriously: "Your illness is not yet cured, don't eat these greasy things." The spleen and stomach can't stand it. ”

Qin Miaomiao flattened her mouth, scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge in a row, put it in her mouth and chewed it fiercely, her cheeks were filled with porridge and bulged, like a squirrel. In fact, she seriously suspected that Su Mu was deliberately manipulating her, and she had eaten very good white porridge in the first few meals, soft and glutinous, with a little sweetness, but as the illness slowly improved, she came out to eat with Su Mu in the courtyard.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, looking at his clear porridge and white rice, but Su Mu has meat and vegetables, Qin Miaomiao felt that his white porridge was really difficult to swallow. She also wants to eat meat, the chicken in front of Su Mu is greedy and her eyes are blue.

If you don't let her eat, don't let her see it, and don't let you eat it if you see it, isn't this torturous?

Qin Miaomiao was annoyed at a meal, and sat by the fence angrily, looking at the dragonflies flying in front of her and feeling very delicious.

Suddenly, some noisy sounds drifted into her ears, Qin Miaomiao concentrated, listened carefully with her ears sideways, and there were really people making noise not far away, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the mess.

There is a lively look! As a gossip angel, her curiosity drives her legs, dictates her movements, and commands her to watch the excitement.

Qin Miaomiao glanced at Su Mu, who was fiddling with medicinal herbs, and called: "Su Langzhong, there is a fight at the entrance of the village, I'll go and see." ”

Although she still felt dizzy from time to time, she was no longer in the way of walking, Su Mu didn't want her to run around, but when she thought that her condition had improved, it was not bad to go out for a walk, put down the medicinal materials in her hand, got up and walked to Qin Miaomiao: "Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Without waiting for Qin Miaomiao to respond, Su Mu took the lead in walking out of the courtyard, Qin Miaomiao took small steps, and followed behind Su Mu.

Su Mu's figure is tall and straight, Qin Miaomiao's small physique like bean sprouts has just reached his shoulders, although Su Mu is dressed plainly, there is no show of gold and jade, but his gait is elegant, and he looks extravagant.

Qin Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, it seems that some people are naturally favored by God, even if they live in a poor country, they are still handsome.

Looking down at her small body that had not grown, Qin Miaomiao sighed and didn't know if she could grow a little more.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and gradually drifted away, and the entrance of the village was really lively, with more than 100 people gathered together, including officers and soldiers, villagers, some standing, and some lying.

The two men stood aside, and the officers and soldiers covered their mouths and noses with white cloths and acted as masks, apparently for fear of epidemic infection, and the long knives in their hands were already unsheathed, surrounding the villagers in the middle.

The villagers who were surrounded were all emotional, and some even eagerly tried to snatch the knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers, if it were not for the fear of the bows and arrows in the hands of the officers and soldiers in the distance, I am afraid that this time the two groups would have been torn together.

Qin Miaomiao took a closer look, there were many familiar noodles among the villagers, Han Baofu, the village head of Hedong Village, and Chen He's father and Chen He were also inside.

The villagers were emotional, and Han Baofu was laughing with the officers and soldiers: "Master Guan, you can be accommodating and tell the county lord that the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor really can't be taken anymore." ”

The leading officers and soldiers hid a few steps away, with a look of disgust and disdain: "You people don't know what to do!" That prescription is the prescription of the emperor's imperial doctor, how can he eat the dead! If you are unlucky and don't get through it, how can you complain about the bad luck. ”

Han Baofu squeezed the folds on his face, and his smile was uglier than crying: "The official master is not us deliberately making trouble, this is the medicine on the prescription, just in the past few days, eight of our villages alone have died, and many other villages have died, you can let the boss send someone to show us, although our lives are cheap, but we are also the emperor's people, please ask the emperor to be merciful and save us!" ”

"Bold! The emperor is also what you can mention, which plague does not kill people, if you survive it, you will live, and if you can't survive it, you will die, the imperial doctor above is expensive, how can he diagnose you people. ”

The words of the official leader angered the villagers, and they did not listen to Han Baofu's advice, and shouted by pulling their necks: "You black-hearted officials are careless of people's lives. ”

"It's all death anyway, and we're fighting with them today." The villagers' voices were filled with desperation.

Each rolled up his arms and sleeves, ready to start, and the officials also raised the long knives in their hands, and the bows and arrows were full of strength, and as soon as the villagers moved, the long knives in their hands would be cut down at the villagers, and the bows and arrows with full strength would also shoot at the villagers. The tension was tense, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Among the villagers, there were many women like Chen He, who were so frightened that they cowered together and hid behind their father and brother.

Su Mu stood aside and raised his eyebrows, his expression was extremely cold, obviously it was this group of officials who made him unhappy, the long knife and feather arrows in his hand were not aimed at invading foreign enemies, but at these good people who were in a desperate situation, they did not act excessively, and even none of the hundred or so people carried sticks and murder weapons, why did they let this group of officials face each other with knives and arrows.

turned around and grabbed Qin Miaomiao's sleeve, and whispered: "Come with me, pull my sleeve and don't let go." He was afraid that he would not be able to stop the radical emotions of the two parties, and if there was a real fight outside, he could also take care of this girl.

Just when the battle between the villagers and the officials was about to break out, a handsome boy led a thin little girl to the crowd quickly.

The villagers all knew Su Mu, and called Su Langzhong emotionally, although Su Mu usually looked arrogant and indifferent to people, but he almost responded to the villagers' needs, and someone came to seek medical treatment, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, he never shirked.

So in the past few years, the villagers have become accustomed to this indifferent Langzhong.

Su Mu glanced at the villagers and came between Han Baofu and the official leader. Han Baofu was quite excited, and walked up to Su Mu and almost cried: "Su Langzhong, you can help us tell us, we don't understand medical skills, but we also think that the prescription is inappropriate, you are an understanding person, you talk to the official." ”

The official messenger naturally saw that Su Mu had a bit of a status in the hearts of the villagers, and it was not necessary to persuade this group of Diao people to go back, after all, it was not easy for him to go back if it caused a riot and caused a human life. Patiently spoke: "Are you Langzhong?" ”

Su Mu nodded, still cold and lonely: "This official, can you bring me the house." ”

As soon as the official heard that Su Mu wanted to see the house, his face under the white cloth immediately pulled down, he was really overwhelmed, and the villagers really didn't know how much they were doing, and their voices were cold: "Can the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor be wrong?" Is it your turn to question? ”

Su Mu was really disappointed in the group of officials, a group of puppets with no brains, controlled by the official power, regardless of the life or death of the people, his eyes sank, and he glared angrily. This made the terrifying momentum of the people overwhelm him.

"Bring it." Two simple words, no one can question and refuse.

The head of the official was overwhelmed by Su Mu's momentum, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he obediently took out a prescription from his arms and handed it to Su Mu.

Su Mu took the prescription and glanced at it, but there was no problem with this prescription, but there were a few medicinal properties, and the seriously ill villagers couldn't stand it, so he had replaced the prescription when he prescribed it, but the imperial doctor had never come to see the patient in person and didn't understand the actual situation of the patient, so it would cause the aggravation of the condition and even death after taking the medicine.

Seeing that Su Mu was silent for a long time, the villagers dared to say too much, and they all looked at Su Mu with anticipation on the side, although Su Mu's prescription did not completely cure the epidemic, but it was finally stabilized, so the villagers were willing to believe Su Mu.

Handing the prescription to the official, Su Mu spoke: "This prescription is not a big problem, but the method of medicine is wrong?" ”

The method is wrong, isn't this medicine just to drink? What else is there to do? The official thought that Su Mu was deliberately playing tricks, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and scolded loudly: "Don't want to bewitch the people here, since Fang Zi is fine, it is this group of Diao people who are deliberately looking for trouble!" Acquaintances hurry back, the sword and arrow are dead and wounded without eyes, and we are not responsible! ”

The villagers were also confused, no one cared about the official's words at all, and stared at Su Mu intently waiting for him to tell him how to save his life.

Su Mu didn't pay attention to the official's domineering reprimand, after all, it was important to save people: "Everyone go back and boil the medicine into juice and use it to take a bath, and it will be effective in two days." ”

This medicinal bath, the villagers have heard for the first time, the medicinal materials are expensive, and they are reluctant to use them for bathing in ordinary times, but now they can try it, the imperial court has transported a large number of medicinal materials, and all Hakka households have distributed a lot, and it is enough to soak in the bath.

The villagers were just suspicious, but the officers and soldiers were really laughing, this Lang Zhong is afraid that he is crazy, it is not good to take medicine, can he take a bath?

Listening to the voices of the officers and soldiers laughing and questioning, Su Mu didn't open her mouth but was robbed of the conversation by Qin Miaomiao, she got out from behind Su Mu, patted her airfield, and said in an arrogant tone: "I also have this epidemic, Su Langzhong used this method to cure me!" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Qin Miaomiao's body, she was the first to get sick and be cured, so the villagers' eyes immediately burst with hope.

Chen He, who was hiding behind Old Man Chen, saw Qin Miaomiao relieving Su Mu from the siege, and felt that he couldn't fall behind her.

Chen He cowardly spoke in the crowd: "I can testify that Miao Miao is very sick. was really cured by Su Langzhong. ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more determined to believe what Su Mu said. The official was also happy that this matter was resolved, so he did not stop it much.

Sure enough, after five or six days, most of the villagers' conditions improved. Su Mu's fame is also spreading farther and farther, and the magistrate also wants to meet Su Mu.
