Chapter 5: Arrival at Wuling
After the rainstorms, the bodies of the animals and the dead began to rot and stink under the scorching sun, causing germs to grow and diseases to follow.
From Yuzhou to Wuling, it will take more than 30 days to say the least, but along the way, Su Jitong and others have traveled day and night, and the rest time does not exceed three hours every day, shortening the time on the road by half.
According to the news that Xu Cong'an came back, the epidemic came from a village named Fengliao near Shishiping, which was the only way from Shishiping to Wuling, and Fengliao was not small.
Wuling sent people into the village, set up a tent to give porridge, Huichun Hall and Guiyun Pavilion had previously received the orders of Ye Xinglan and Su Jitong, and the medicinal materials and food had already been prepared. But when the pandemic hit, it all came to naught.
The epidemic word, everyone heard the color change, Feng Liao's epidemic came very quickly, caught off guard, Wuling prefect had no choice but to send heavy troops to set up a card to seal the customs, but it was too late, in a short period of time, many villages and towns around Feng Liao were affected. In Fengliao, the number of infected people has reached 1,000, and the number of people who have died due to the epidemic is innumerable.
When Su Jitong and his entourage arrived in Fengliao, they got the news that Yang Jin, the prefect of Wuling, wanted to burn Fengliao with fire to prevent the epidemic from continuing to spread.
This news really surprised everyone, you know, if Yang Jin really did this, the consequences would be unimaginable, this law would be unpopular, but anyone with brains could not do this, and regardless of Feng Liao's thousands of lives, Yang Jin could not explain it to the imperial court.
But I am afraid that such a big matter is not groundless, and after several people discussed, they decided to return to Wuling and find out.
After several people successfully infiltrated Wuling, they took advantage of the night to sneak into the prefect Yang Jin's mansion, and Ye Xinglan came forward to meet Yang Jin, while Su Jitong disguised herself as a man and acted as Ye Xinglan's shadow guard.
Su Jitong did this, naturally with her own considerations.
First, it is rare for women to study medicine in this era, not to mention that it is rare, it is simply rare, she will come to see Yang Jin, set up a card to seal the customs, and then go deep into Fengliao to cure the epidemic, don't say that Yang Jin believes her or not, if it were her, she would not believe it. Although Ye Xinglan's medical skills are not as good as Su Jitong's, he is also the boss of Rejuvenation Hall and Guiyun Pavilion on the surface, and he is also a talkative figure in Ling An, so it is most suitable for him to come forward.
Second, Su Jitong didn't want to expose herself too early, after all, she would still go to Ling'an for a long time in the future, although she had been in the Rejuvenation Hall before, but she was a woman dressed as a man, with her tossing on her face like that, how many people could recognize her?
Su Jitong nested on the branches, her eyes looked down in a daze, the study was lit up, and the figures of the two people in the room were drawn and printed on the window paper, because there was a distance, she couldn't hear what the two said, just waited quietly.
Just when Su Jitong was about to fall asleep, the door of the study opened, and Ye Xinglan and Yang Jin walked out of the study together, followed by a man dressed as a guard.
Su Jitong frowned, she had been staying here just now, and she didn't see anyone enter the study.
I saw that Yang Jin and Ye Xinglan were talking with a smile, and it looked very pleasant, and Ye Xinglan, although he still had a light smile, but according to Su Jitong's understanding of him, he didn't seem to be so relaxed.
Su Jitong frowned, jumped lightly, Ye Luo stood silently beside Ye Xinglan, hung his head respectfully, and showed the appearance of a shadow guard to the fullest.
The two of them left the Yang Mansion, speechless all the way, she was waiting, waiting for Ye Xinglan to tell her the conversation.
He never worried that Ye Xinglan would not be able to convince Yang Jin, after all, the epidemic can be described as a hot potato, and now that someone has taken the initiative to send it to the door, how can he not throw it away.
Ye Xinglan's Rejuvenation Hall can be described as a household name, it is the number one in the Nanyue row, and it is only fitting that the matter of the epidemic is handed over to him, if Ye Xinglan really cures the epidemic, then the credit is indispensable to him Yang Jin, if it is not cured...... He can also put all the blame on the head of the Rejuvenation Hall, and he can't suffer a loss, so why shouldn't Yang Jin do it.
Just looking at Ye Xinglan's appearance, there seems to be something else in between?
"Are you sure about the epidemic?"
Sure enough, when Fang walked to the street, Ye Xinglan suddenly looked sideways at Su Jitong, and there was a trace of worry on his face, which had always been smiling lightly.
Although he can still trust Su Jitong's medical skills, he still wants to ask.
In the face of such Ye Xinglan, where can Su Jitong make up any lies? She shook her head, and no matter if she hadn't been exposed to the epidemic yet, even if she was in Fengliao now, she might not be able to cure it.
"Nope!"
A sentence exploded in Ye Xinglan's mind like a thunderbolt from the sky, he really couldn't imagine where she got the courage to take this job, he thought that she came over in such a hurry, there was a way, so he came with her and went to discuss with Governor Yang, you must know that the epidemic is not trivial, careless, but who would have thought, she was so reckless.
"I'm not sure you're still ......"
Su Jitong didn't know how to answer Ye Xinglan's words, so she simply closed her mouth.
After a long time, Ye Xinglan still didn't give up and said: "I really don't have any certainty at all?" ”
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, since I'm here, I'm going to do my best."
Epidemics, in modern times, there are vaccines, and people have nothing to fear, but for ancient times when medicine was not developed, it is a distorted existence. Although this is the first time she has come into contact with the epidemic since she came here, she has seen it in medical books before, and I hope it will not be too difficult to deal with it.
But such righteous words fell on Ye Xinglan's ears, but they were so pale and powerless.
"Go back and find some guinea pigs and bring them to Feng Liao with me."
Just when Ye Xinglan was unable to speak, Su Jitong came to such a sentence, Ye Xinglan moved between his eyebrows, staring at Su Jitong for a long time, it seemed to say, when is it, you still want to catch the guinea pig to play?
But after thinking about it, Su Jitong was not such a disproportionate person, her thin lips moved, and she asked curiously, "What are you looking for that thing for?" ”
"Experiments, of course." Su Jitong rolled her eyelids and threw Ye Xinglan a hygienic look: "Don't underestimate those mice, that's the key to curing the epidemic." ”
Kindness? How many rats really matter?
As soon as he heard this, Ye Xinglan was in a circle, how could there be a cure to catch white mice, but Su Jitong said so, it must have its use, anyway, it is always right to find her.
