Chapter V: Acute Pandemic

Early the next morning, Wen Xi climbed to the top of Luoqin Mountain and watched the army march south. She clasped her hands together and silently prayed in her heart: May the world be peaceful and there will never be war! This time, the Hua Jiajun seemed to go to Yunnan to defend the city, but in fact they were demoted and degraded. The master once said that the saints are too suspicious today, and most of the heroes are stubborn, and it is inevitable that there will be times when they collide with the holy will. Although there are small countries in the south that are often disturbed, there is no major trouble, and such a dispatch cannot but make people think that it is a great effort to weaken the Hua army. Today's farewell is different from the past. In the past, when parting, as long as you know where the army is, there will always be an exchange of news to meet, Yunnan is far away, and it is really difficult for Dr. Wen and her to arrive. The cool breeze blew her clothes and ribbons, and she murmured: "Brother Huafang, I hope that one day, we can see each other again." ”

When she came down from the mountain, she still picked some herbs, and it had been a habit for many years to carry the medicine basket on her back at all times. When she returned to the pharmacy, Yan Yan ran out of the room, hugged her and shouted, "Wenxi, my mother is awake and can speak." ”

She put away her little sadness and smiled happily: "Let's go and see together." ”

"Hmm!" Yan Yan happily took her hand and walked towards the corridor.

Dr. Wen was standing in front of the patient's bed, Yan Yan's mother's face was no longer as sallow as yesterday, although she had no energy, her eyes could already see the portrait clearly, and her breathing was much more stable. Yan Yan held her hand and said, "Mother, you see this is Wenxi." The woman followed her daughter's voice and looked behind her, and after a moment she said, "Thank you!"

Wen Xi returned the salute and looked at the master happily: "Her condition looks much better." ”

Doctor Wen nodded, beckoned to her and said, "I still have to go into the city, go to the place where they lived before, this symptom is not a day or two, although I go quickly, but I am afraid that someone will infect me." ”

"I'll go with you!" Wen Xi put down the medicine basket on his body.

Doctor Wen put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I have reformulated a new prescription, you cook it yourself, and feed her every three hours." ”

Wen Xi agreed, watching the master walk out the door. That night, Dr. Wen did not return to the pharmacy, Wen Xi ran to the gate a few times, she couldn't let go in her heart, the master and her rarely parted, unless she was told in advance that she would not return, or no matter how late it was, the master would come back. The pharmacy is a temporary loan to a family in the city to monitor the outer house, although it is old, but there are also a few courtyards. Wen Xi looked at the patient for a while, and ran to the front door for a while, inevitably tired. After all, I was sleepy and fell asleep in front of the patient's bed.

Until Wusheng ran to wake her up: "Wenxi, Wenxi, you go and see the doctor." ”

She woke up from her dream in fright, looking at Gokatsu at a loss. Before dawn, Wusheng stood in front of her sweating profusely, pointed outside and said, "The doctor is back." ”

Wen Xi hurriedly ran to the front hall, and Doctor Wen sat on a chair in the middle of the main hall, his face gloomy and his eyes drooping. Wen Xi grabbed his hand, knelt on the ground and called softly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Wusheng said anxiously on the side: "The doctor was in the shack all day yesterday, he asked around who still had patients who had been bedridden for a long time, and it was okay not to ask, but there were fifteen or sixteen when he asked, and Yan Yanniang had been sick for a month, and some had died." It's just that the official doctor has not reported the disease, this disease is a big epidemic!"

Wen Xi looked at him and said, "How could the master be like this?"

Wusheng wiped a handful of tears and said: "He asked me to buy medicine, and personally applied acupuncture and moxibustion to the patient, and the patient's vomiting was all on him, and no one cleaned it, one by one, he treated seven patients in full, and he was tired alive." ”

Wen Xi didn't have time to cry, stood up, ordered someone to boil water, and asked the servants to change clean clothes for Wusheng and the doctor, and the clothes he carried didn't need to be washed, and he was directly taken to the field to be burned. She ran to the pharmacy, relying on the memory of watching the master dispense the medicine yesterday, and quickly grabbed the medicine configuration by herself, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Wusheng changed his clothes and ran over to help, but she stopped: "You have to go to the official doctor now, we can't treat so many patients alone." ”

Wusheng said aggrievedly: "Yesterday, the great doctor personally went to find Master Exercise, but it was useless! The other party said that this was just an ordinary illness, and he didn't listen to the doctor at all. General Hua has just left, the general trend has gone, who else cares about the folk miracle doctor!"

Wen Xi paused, thinking of the owner of this house, she grabbed Wusheng's arm and said: "You go to the medicine superintendent, he must know the severity of the epidemic, if the city is sealed, no one will be able to get out." ”

Wusheng looked at her and said, "Will this be useful?"

"Go ahead! The official doctor is afraid of losing his job, but the medicine inspector is not a person who treats diseases, you know that he will naturally weigh the pros and cons, and now there is only this method to try. Looking at this half-grown girl, the firmness in her eyes made Wusheng can't help but have a kind of courage, and he said cheerfully: "I'll do it." ”

Near noon, Wen Xi fed the master a second bowl of decoction, and Dr. Wen vomited it all at once. Wen Xi hurriedly asked people to come in to clean up, and everyone who came in was wearing masks. This was specially instructed by Wen Xi, and she put the sandbag with boiling soup on the master's back and feet, and Wusheng ran in. He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Lord Medicine has agreed to report it, but he can't control us these days." ”

"What about the people in the shack?" Wen Xi asked.

"The adults said that the medical officers were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they would not easily rescue them. It's not good for them!" Wusheng relayed the original words of the Medicine Superintendent to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said angrily: "That is also human life, how can it be regarded as completely ignorant of it? Aren't the official doctors saving people's lives? How can they be worthy of their conscience like this." ”

Wusheng stood aside and reminded him: "Wen Xi, if the official doctor makes a move in this matter, it will inevitably alarm the people above, and at that time, none of them want to be this bird! ”

Wen Xi's tears fell suddenly: "The life of the poor is also life, how can you give up like this?"

She looked at the master who was lying in bed, wiped her face and said, "If they don't save it, we will save it!"

"Yes, I'll save you too. Yan Yan walked in outside the door: "I can also cook medicine, and I have also seen you take care of my mother, and you see that I don't have to wear this cloth, and I don't get sick, can I help you." ”

Wen Xi happily took her hand and said, "Yes, and you can be a helper." ”

Looking at the two little girls, Wusheng couldn't help but sigh that in this world, these little babies are more affectionate and righteous than those adults who wear official hats. Wen Xi instructed Wusheng to sort out the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and wrote down the symptoms and prescriptions, and asked him to find someone to copy a few more copies and distribute them to everyone. Yan Yan grabbed it and said, "I'll copy it! I can write." ”

Wusheng was surprised and said, "You, a little beggar?"

Wen Xi glanced at Wusheng reproachfully, she took Yan Yan's hand and said, "Do you really know how to write?"

"Well, I've been practicing calligraphy with my old man's son since I was a child, and I can already remember him before he learned it. My teachers often praised me for being smart. Yan Yan said proudly.

"Then how did you become a beggar?" Wen Xi blurted out.

I saw Yan Yan's face red, and she whispered: "That family is not good to my mother, so we ran out." ”

"Ah——" Wusheng screamed softly, Wen Xi looked at him, only to see him shake his head, signaling Wen Xi not to ask again. Wen Xi immediately stopped asking, and handed the white paper in his hand to Yan Yan: "You can write it! I'll go see if there is any ointment that can be used." Yan Yan immediately began to copy, and there was a busy scene in the pharmacy.

When Dr. Wen woke up, it was already late at night, and Wen Xi was carefully changing his clean cloth shirt and hot sandbag beside him. He sighed lightly: "Wenxi, thank you for your hard work!"

"Master!" Wen Xi burst into tears happily: "You're awake!"

"Wenxi, this is a big epidemic, you can't underestimate it, you have to see the medical officer again. "Hearing the great doctor's voice is like a gossamer, but still the words are clear.

"Master, don't worry, we have already notified the medicine inspector. Wen Xi said softly.

"Well, well done!" Doctor Wen seemed to be relieved when he heard this, and closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Wen Xi put his finger on the master's wrist and felt that his pulse was gradually stabilizing and no longer impatient, so he breathed a sigh of relief. She brought a pillow and lay it on the ground. She knew she had to rest and that she had more to do tomorrow.

The next day, Yan Yan came back from entering the city and brought Wen Xi the news that the plague was spreading everywhere in the city, many shops were closed, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets. Wenxi sighed, she was worried that worse things were yet to come.

At noon, Wusheng packed the remaining medicinal materials according to the recipe according to Wenxi's instructions and transported them into the city. In the evening, Gokatsu came back first on horseback. He said to Wen Xi in horror: "The city is going to be closed." ”

"Is it true?" Wen Xi asked.

"I saw a lot of rich and noble families carrying their families outside the city, and the people who led to the temple on the mountain were all people with bronze signs. Wusheng said.

The bronze plaque is only enjoyed by the official family, and it seems that it was the people of the official government who fled the city first. But when they ran out and sealed the city, how should the people of the city save themselves?

"Is there any reply from the Medicine Inspector?" Wen Xi hurriedly asked.

Wusheng shook his head: "When I went again, the porter didn't open the door, and told me to get away, saying that I had been to the shack and it was not clean." He said with a disdainful expression: "I drank sweet bean soup and wore a mask, which is much cleaner than the people inside their door." ”

Wen Xi didn't speak, how should the master tell him if he woke up? This thing is like this, it is not what she wants to see, the patients in the shacks in the city are in urgent need of medical treatment and care, and the medicine is slightly inappropriate, but I am afraid that death will come faster. Wusheng looked at her and didn't dare to say more, just sat down silently on the side and rested his legs a little.

Wen Xi knew that she didn't have much time and had to dare to make a decision quickly, so she said to Wusheng: "Yan Yan has memorized the prescription, and there are still five days' worth of prepared medicinal materials, which is enough for her mother and master." You're in charge of the pharmacy's daily decoction, sanitizing, and tidying up the room, and as long as there are no new patients, you should be able to get through it. ”

Wusheng looked at her nervously: "What about you?"

"I'm going into town. Wen Xi's tone was very light, but with a look that could not be refuted.
