The old man was very surprised and stammered to Doctor Du.

"Doctor Du, you... You're the lord of the city, how did you become one?"

Du Yi smiled and said, "I was admitted to the champion, but you didn't believe me, teacher." ”

"You really got in, alas, obviously you are the best in medicine, but you have to follow the literature. ”

The old man's face was full of regret, and it was difficult for Doctor Du to speak for a while.

Then the old man patted his thigh and said, "Forget about business, hurry, let's go out, we can't stay here forever." ”

The three of them ran out immediately, and the little girl's condition could not be delayed.

And Doctor Du was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't bring the medicine box at all, but fortunately, Xiao Tian, the accompanying medical soldier, brought the medicine box.

But the plague is a disease, ordinary herbs are useless at all, and the medicine in Xiao Tian's medicine box can only play a relieving role, like painkillers, to make the little girl feel better, and there is no other effect.

Doctor Du's acupuncture was also useless, so he could only wait for Mucheng to send someone again.

Doctor Du let people go early on.

After the little girl was settled, soldiers sent people out one after another.

But most of them are incurable and unconscious.

Taking advantage of this time, Doctor Du began to ask the old man specific questions.

"Teacher Chen, how did you find out that there is a plague in Huaxiu Town?"

"It wasn't me, it was a hunter on Huaxiu Mountain who found it, and then informed me. ”

Huaxiu Mountain is a big mountain next to Huaxiu Town, which has many herbs and flowers on the mountain, and the vegetation is prosperous.

"Orion? Orion?"

"Yes, I have built a thatched house on Huaxiu Mountain, at the foot of the northwest mountain, where there are many herbs, and I know the hunter, and I have been showing him injuries and illnesses for a long time. ”

"Just yesterday, he went over the mountains to hunt near Huaxiu Town, and saw a group of dead people inside, and then he ran to tell me in a panic that there were dead people in Huaxiu Town. ”

"I didn't think he was lying, so I ran to take a look, but I didn't expect that there were dead bodies everywhere and the plague was rampant, so I immediately wrote a letter and asked the messengers from the nearby villages to send it to Mucheng. ”

The old man got tired as he spoke, and sat down.

"Teacher, what about Orion?"

"He's scared enough, so he's probably hiding at home now. ”

"Zhou Hu, you send someone up the mountain to invite Orion. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Huaxiu Mountain was not big, and the old man pointed out the direction, so the man who sent the mountain quickly invited the hunter down.

"Little Wan Baixiang, meet the adults. ”

"Wan Baixiang, call me the 1510 about the plague you found in Huaxiu Town that day. ”

"Yes, sir. I was chasing a wild boar that day, and then I chased and chased to the vicinity of Huaxiu Town, when I was thirsty, I wanted to drink tea inside, but as soon as I went in, I found that it was quiet inside, and there were a few people lying on the street. ”

"I looked strange, so I went closer to look, no... I didn't expect it to be a dead man, but... After that, I ran away, and then I went back and told Dr. Chen, just... That's it. ”

"Didn't you see anything strange or something?" Du asked again.

Orion shook his head, his expression dazed.

But the old man was a little annoyed, shouldn't he spend all his time saving people now? What's the use of asking these here?

But he didn't say much, after all, Doctor Du is now the lord of the city, a civil official, not a doctor or a medical official in the court.

So the old man could only sigh in the end, he was old and couldn't save more people.

At this time, Doctor Du ran over and asked.

"Teacher, you are familiar with the situation inside, inside.... How many more people can be saved?"

The old man was overjoyed, and felt that his previous teachings were also good, but when he thought of the situation inside, he couldn't help frowning.

"Nine times out of ten, there is no salvation, but one can be saved, and there are probably people like this little girl. ”

"Teacher, I can't afford to spend time, and the plague is difficult to solve, so I want to ......"

"So you want to burn the corpse!??" the old man stood up angrily and looked at the former student in front of him in disbelief.

"This is the best way to stop the spread of the plague. ”

"The people who are still breathing in there, don't care if they live or die?"

"If you can save me, you will definitely save you, but you also said that they won't live long. ”

Doctor Du couldn't bear to point to the few people lying in front of the gate, they were all soldiers who moved out inside, and they were all alive.

But it didn't last long, and before Mucheng could send reinforcements, a few died.

There are still a few who are struggling in pain, but there is nothing they can do.

The old man shook his head in disappointment and walked away.

He whispered before leaving.

"In the past, I told you to study medicine and abandon literature, but you didn't listen, but now you are dyed with the air of a eunuch, seeking fame and fortune, just let me Chen Meng not have you as a student. ”

Seeing the bleak background when the old man left, Doctor Du knew that he had let him down.

But Dr. Du himself has a set of guidelines for his actions, and that is his bottom line.

The matter of Huaxiu Town, if he can save it, he will naturally save it.

But the manpower is very limited, and there are 800 people in Huaxiu Town, which is a point larger than the entire Mucheng.

Although Dr. Du asked all 87 soldiers to join the search and rescue, it was a drop in the bucket.

From morning to afternoon, I rushed to Huaxiu Town non-stop, and then searched and rescued until now, it was already the second half of the night.

More than 80 soldiers, along with Du Yi and Zhou Hu, did not even drink a sip of water.

The people in the nearby villages were talking about the tiger's color change, and when they heard that there was a plague in Huaxiu Town, the gate was closed and they stayed at home.

I'm afraid that Dr. Du will have to shut up when he goes to them for help.

Du Yi also did not have an official seal or documents, so he was unable to mobilize personnel from the other two towns to help. (There are three towns under the jurisdiction of Mucheng, plus countless villages, forming four districts, with Mucheng being the main area.) ）

Therefore, Du Yi is the most embarrassing now, he has the responsibility of the city lord, but he does not have the power of the city lord.

In order to prevent the plague from spreading, and at the same time, he did not want the more than 80 soldiers under his command to be infected with the plague.

He had no choice but to order the burning of the corpse.

If Doctor Du could mobilize more people, if the logistics could be faster, or if there was a special medicine to treat the plague, he would not have made such a decision.

However, the order has already been issued, and Doctor Du will no longer be sad.

It was urgent for the corpses to be gathered in the central square of Huaxiu Town, and then a fire was ignited.

The fire was very strong, and countless corpses melted inside, which was particularly dazzling in this dark night.

Bodies were constantly thrown into the fire until dawn.

The fire has not been extinguished.

Then, when the soldiers were carrying the corpses, they also found a number of patients who were still alive, about thirty people.

It is impossible for Dr. Du to throw a living person into the fire in a frenzy.

So they were placed at the gate, and Oda took care of them.

The old man Chen Meng did not leave, and when he saw more than 30 patients, he knew that he could help.

But they were all terminally ill, and many of them didn't make it all night.

At dawn, 14 of the remaining 30 people were still in agony.

"Why hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet, in one night, even if you leave, you should have arrived!"

Doctor Du gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes full of anger.

Long before Doctor Du set off from Mucheng, he asked the follow-up team in Mucheng to prepare.

Collect supplies, men and horses, and then no matter whether the plague in Huaxiu Town is serious or not, you must rush here as soon as possible.

The night passed, but there was no one to be seen.

As the new city lord, what he said didn't work?

The supplies in Dr. Du's team have long been exhausted, and even the most ordinary bandages have bottomed out, not to mention other medicines.

There were no reinforcements, and they could only watch the patients die.

Time passed slowly, and by noon, Dr. Du finally couldn't help it.

"Zhou Hu, you go to Mucheng to urge, if you don't see those people, you will be treated as deserters and killed!"

Du Yi said in annoyance, he even felt as if Mu Cheng's reinforcement team did not exist.

Zhou Hu's foot strength is very fast, ordinary people need half a day at the earliest, but Zhou Hu only needs an hour and a half.

Of course, the premise is that Zhou Hu is moving forward at full speed.

Just as Zhou Hu was about to leave, the medical soldier Xiao Tian suddenly said.

"It's... It's reinforcements, my lord, there's reinforcements over there!"

Doctor Du looked at it, and a large team of hundreds of people appeared in front of him.

More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages arrived in the dust, and they were full of supplies from afar.

The carriage was uniformly planted with a pennant, and two words were written on the flag: Yongshang.

That's the Eternal Chamber of Commerce.

"City Lord Du, our Yong Chamber of Commerce is late, I'm sorry. The fat golden man jumped out of the carriage in the front row.

Needless to say, his men urgently began to carry supplies.

Food, water, medicine, and a steady stream of food were brought down the wagon.

The most important thing is, of course, the manpower, and the addition of a few hundred people suddenly made the soldiers a lot easier.

Some people carry medicine boxes on their backs and take care of the sick.

Some people entered Huaxiu Town to help.

Some people distributed food and gave it to soldiers.

Looks very skilled.

However, there are also many people who vomit after entering Huaxiu Town, the scene inside is too scary, the corpses are all over the field, and the smell is stinking.

"Thank you so much, Chairman Kim. "Dr. Du is sincerely grateful.

"You're welcome. The golden fat man waved his fat hand and said, "The Yong Chamber of Commerce will help every year, but..."

The golden fat man glanced at the situation inside Huaxiu Town a few times and continued.

"It's just the first time I've seen such a serious situation. ”

"There will be plagues in Mucheng every year, wasn't it so serious in previous years?"

"How can it be said that in previous years, there has not been a single scale of death in a town for decades, and in the past, there were at most three or four hundred people infected, and it was easy to control. ”

Sure enough, Doctor Du thought to himself.

Every year, the plague is not serious, and as soon as Du Yi arrived in Mucheng, a major plague incident occurred.

No one is making trouble behind them, so the devil believes it.

"By the way, what about the group of soldiers in Mucheng?" Du Yi thought of the group of people he had instructed before leaving.

The fat golden man pouted, although the movement was small, but he was still noticed by Doctor Du.

"They're probably still shouting for people, and few of them can be there, let alone support here. ”

"In the past, the old city lord didn't care about anything, so they used chicken feathers as arrows to make a fortune in Mucheng, and they gave them money over the years. ”

The fat golden man stopped abruptly, realizing that he had leaked his mouth.

"Hehe, don't misunderstand City Lord Du, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, we still need good support on the official road. ”

Du Yi was angry and funny, but he didn't expect this golden fat man to be a straightforward and fast-talking product.

"I know this, President Kim has brought so many supplies to help Huaxiu Town today, and I am already very grateful to Chairman Kim. ”

"But those people in Mucheng are really unforgivable, President Jin, I still need your help when the time comes. ”

"Understood, understood, Du City Lord is wise. ”

The golden fat man nodded repeatedly.
