Chapter 188: Saving People
At Wu Youke's strong request, the county order issued orders to all townships.
Tell them to rush to the county seat early tomorrow morning to learn how to prevent the plague.
Wu Ke saw that since the county orders had been ordered, he was relieved. I feel that this matter is stable.
Day 2
Wu Youke waited in the square in the city early, but seeing that the sun was three poles, there were only a dozen people coming. And looks like a completely illiterate peasant.
"Why are there so many people?" Wu Youke frowned and asked the county order, and the county order smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Ambassador Wu, now is the busy season for farming, and it's good to be able to come so much, there are all kinds of villages. How do you say it, and when the time comes, just let them go back and convey it? ”
Wu Youke's face was ugly, but he endured it and didn't have a seizure.
Loudly explained the precautions for rodent extermination and rodent prevention, and the dozen or so people below looked at Wu Youke's speech casually and did not react.
Seeing that what he said didn't have any effect, Wu Youke made a long story short, said it briefly, and hastily ended the propaganda and said goodbye to the county order.
The county order pretended to keep it, sent Wu Youke away with a smile, and turned around and changed his face. A doctor who is not in the stream, if he is not from Beijing, he doesn't even bother to take care of it.
"Teacher, these people don't cooperate at all, what should we do?" On the way out of the city, Xu Yanru asked Wu Youke depressedly.
"If they don't cooperate, we will go to various places for free clinics and promote the knowledge of plague prevention."
"Just the two of us, let's go through Datong, what year and month will it take?"
"Then we have to do it, we must practice medicine, not only to be benevolent, but also to be patient. We can't give up because the people don't understand, it's normal not to understand, and if the people understand, they don't need us to publicize it. Besides, it's impossible not to pay attention to everything. ”
Xu Yanru nodded, thoughtful.
The shining point of his teacher is not only the brilliant medical book, but also the burning heart.
Wu Youke stayed at the post station, got up early every day, went to various townships and villages for free consultations, and spread the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control by the way.
But the effect is really poor, and some people even treat them as liars.
But Wu Youke was not discouraged at all, and still practiced medicine everywhere.
On this day, he came to a place called Liujia Village, which was very large. But as soon as they entered the village, they found that the village was very quiet. Wu Youke and Xu Yanru glanced at each other and slowly walked towards the village.
It wasn't until they walked for a while that they heard the sound of people talking, turned a wall, and finally saw the people of the village, all gathered together. It looks like it should be an ancestral hall, and there is a large open space in front of the door, and there are about a few hundred people, forming a circle. In the center of the circle was a makeshift platform, on which a little boy was lying, and an old woman in strange clothes was jumping around him, muttering words in her mouth.
Wu Youke understood at a glance what was going on, the old woman should be the so-called goddess, the child should be the patient, and looking at this posture, he should be asking God to heal the disease.
Wu Youke secretly shook his head, and directly separated everyone and rushed to the front, intending to take a closer look at the little boy's situation. When he got closer, he saw that the little boy lying on the table had his eyes closed and his face was flushed. Wu Youke leaned out, reached out and touched the little boy's body, and found that the little boy's head was scary.
The people looked at Wu Youke in a daze, and they couldn't figure out where this person came from or what he was doing.
Until the goddess on the stage let out a sharp cry.
"Who are you? Who made you move!? You even interrupted the spell casting! ”
It was only the people who reacted and pulled at Wu Youke. Xu Yanru saw that his teacher was going to suffer, so he hurriedly stopped in front of him and said:
"Don't do it! My teacher is an imperial doctor from Beijing! ”
"Your mother's doctor! Shoot you! ”
The people vented their anger on the two of them, and beat them up. Or the chief came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted:
"Stop!"
The people were fighting so well that they were reluctant to stop for a while. Seeing this, the lieutenant rushed directly to block it.
"Stop fighting!"
Everyone saw that they had come to a halt when they had come to the front.
The lieutenant walked up to the two and stretched out his hand to pull Xu Yanru up. Fortunately, Xu Yanru protected Wu Youke, Wu Youke was not injured, but he himself was miserable, and his body was full of footprints.
"What did you just say? Where are you from? ”
"We are from the capital. My teacher is an ambassador of Tai Hospital! Come here to practice medicine! Xu Yanru wiped the blood from his nose and said angrily.
The lieutenant chief sighed in his heart when he heard this, if it was true, wouldn't they have beaten the officials of the imperial court?
"Is there a proof?"
Wu Youke silently took out the official seal in the box and handed it to the lieutenant chief. The lieutenant didn't even look at it, so he knew that it couldn't be faked. panicked to help Xu Yanru knock off the footprints on his body.
"Two masters, who are you? How..."
Why are you running here and touching our children's heads? Didn't you see that the goddess was casting a spell?
"What's wrong with this kid?" Wu Youke asked.
"The child fell into the water the day before yesterday, was frightened, had a fever all the time, and just fainted directly. The goddess said that the child's soul was frightened and that a ritual was needed to summon the child's soul back. You're casting a spell, and you're here. ”
"He interrupted the spell casting! Scare the child's soul away! The child is not better, even if he does not die, he is a fool! The goddess shouted angrily at Wu Youke.
"Ridiculous! Falling into the water is infected with wind chill, and the child's body is weak, and the fever will only occur when it is cold. What does it have to do with the soul? Wu Youke said to the goddess in a solemn manner.
"You say yes? The child's soul has returned, and you have scared it away! You say no, can you wake the child up? ”
"That's it! Old, I can't believe him! Where did eighty percent of the liars come from! How could the imperial doctor from the capital come to us? I've heard that recently there are two people in other townships who claim to be free to see a doctor and swindle! It's definitely them! ”
"Elder Li, send them to see the official!"
"Let's take a beating!"
"Liar!"
For a while, the crowd was excited, and in their cognition, the people in the capital were all big officials around the emperor, how could they come to their own poor and remote place. I don't even have a sedan chair entourage or anything like that, and I don't wear it well.
"I can save him!" Seeing that everyone was clamoring and wanted to send him to see the official, Wu Youke said loudly. He is not afraid of seeing officials, but the child's condition is not optimistic, and I am afraid that it will not be cured if it is delayed any longer.
"Can you really cure the child?"
"Old! If you ask him to heal the child, I won't care. But you will not lose a penny of the money that should be given. When the goddess saw this, she said angrily to the chief. She is the most famous goddess within a radius of dozens of miles, if she smashes a signboard for someone, who will invite her in the future.
"This..."
"Now that the so-called spell casting has been interrupted by me. If the child can't be cured, it's not too late for you to send me to see the official. If it is cured, it will not be charged. ”
"Then it's decided." The lieutenant chief made up his mind, stopped the restlessness of the people, and decided to let Wu give it a try.
After Wu Youke obtained the consent of the lieutenant, he hurriedly came to the child's side and touched the child's forehead again, which was hot and scary. He asked for a bowl, took out ibuprofen from the medicine box and poured some into it, then took out another amoxicillin pill to dissolve the powder, broke the child's mouth and poured it into him.
"Alright."
"That's it?" Lieutenant's eyes widened.
"Yes. In a maximum of two quarters of an hour, the child's fever will be gone. ”
"Hahaha~" The goddess on the side laughed exaggeratedly. "Where did the fake man come from, and he said that he could cure diseases! Just drink saliva? I think he's a big liar! ”
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! After a quarter of an hour, we will see the difference. ”
At this time, the chief was also a little unconvinced, and set his eyes on the goddess.
"Don't look at me, since the child drank his medicine, it has nothing to do with me whether he is dead or alive!"
Sato stomped his feet angrily. I made up my mind, if the child has three longs and two shorts, it proves that the two must be liars, and they have to be beaten half to death and then sent to the official!
The chief is anxious, the villagers are anxious, but Wu Youke is very determined.
He knows the effects of ibuprofen too well, and the fever-reducing effect is first-class. The main thing is that the delay in the middle is too long, otherwise it would be good to grab a few pairs of medicine for a little wind chill.
Little by little, the little boy's parents touched his head from time to time.
"Doesn't seem to be so hot?"
"Wait."
Waited a little longer.
"It's really not hot!"
"Wait!"
After a while, the little boy was sweating. And the head has returned to normal to the touch.
"Don't burn, don't burn! It worked! The boy's father exclaimed happily.
The goddess on the side was also a little incredulous, but she still said in a weird manner:
"As I said, the child's soul was scared out. What's the use of the fever when it goes away. Don't you still can't wake up? ”
As soon as the words fell, the little boy lying in his mother's arms moved, opened his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he cried out weakly.
"Mother, I'm thirsty."
