"Master, are we really going to go to their cottage with these bandits?" Yu Yao asked with some concern.

"Yes! Master, their subordinates don't look like good people at all. Let's not be deceived by them." Xiu Ying also rarely questioned Shi Lian's decision.

In the luxury carriage, Shi Lian sat between Yu Yao and Xiu Ying. Listen to them. I was still happy in my heart. They are still self-conscious. It's no longer a matter of blindly following orders directly.

"Yes! Master, Xiu Ying is right, we have to guard against it! In case you have three long and two short, how can we explain to the prince. Why don't you let them go with them to the stockade to explore the way? See what's going on.

If it's safe, we'll go back." Yu Yao persuaded her heartily.

"Don't worry, it's okay, they're just a bunch of poor, cornered villagers. You see, their countenances are not heinous." Shi Lian explained to Yu Yao and Xiu Ying.

"But the master, the subordinates just can't trust them." Xiu Ying saw that Shi Lian said this, and she definitely didn't know how to say it.

"I know it in my heart. You don't have to be nervous. Take it easy." Shi Lian said.

Although she listened to her princess's tone so relaxed, Yu Yao and Xiu Ying were still vigilant. They don't dare to be careless, this is going to the den of thieves. If one of them is bad, it will sink into it. It should not be called heaven and not earth.

My own princess doesn't care. They have to be in good spirits. Prevent these bandits from suddenly attacking them.

Shi Lian didn't care about them. He knew what he was talking about now, and Yu Yao and Xiu Ying might both feel that they were optimists. Let's go into the cottage and talk about it.

They tied the luxury carriage to the foot of the mountain, because the cottage was on the mountain, and the carriage could not enter, leaving two guards here to guard it. Shi Lian asked them to rest in the carriage when it was cold at night.

They didn't dare to rest in the princess's carriage, but fortunately, Shen Shenyi still had a carriage. Shi Lian left them a lot of food, and then walked up the mountain with Chopper.

"Divine Doctor Shen, can you eat after climbing the mountain?" Shi Lian looked at Doctor Shen and asked.

"Master Xie cares, is the apprentice's body tough? You still care about the little junior brother!" Divine Doctor Shen pointed to Wu Yuming, who was being held up. Shi Lian saw Wu Yuming, who was weak.

"Wu Yuming is not accustomed to the water and soil, he left Kyoto for the first time, but he did suffer a little. I'll give him medicine when I get back." Shi Lian said.

"Madame, I wonder where you came from and where are you going?" Although Chopper was a little curious about Shi Lian's identity, but at first glance, Shi Lian's temperament was different from ordinary people, so he didn't dare to ask directly. But he had a feeling that the lady in front of him was definitely a noble person in their village.

"Chopper, you're quite curious." Shi Lian said with a smile.

"Huh! I'm just curious. Madame looked at the uncle not big. But it's like a person who does big things." Chopper immediately patted his ass.

"We're going to Ningcheng." Shi Lian didn't say where she came from. But he said that he was going to Ningcheng, and he wanted to see Chopper's reaction. I want to know what kind of situation the plague in Ningcheng is now.

"Oops! Madam, you can't go to Ningcheng! If you're going to do business there, you'd better dismiss it!" Chopper said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Why?" Shi Lian said puzzled.

"Don't tell Madame the truth. Ning Cheng heard that the plague was quite fierce. I heard that a lot of people died. And this plague is not cured. Extremely contagious. Ningcheng is only allowed to enter but not go out now, and our Jiayang County is close. I'm afraid that one day the plague will spread to Jiayang County." Chopper said.

"Oh! It's okay, I'm a doctor, but I heard that there's a plague over there, and I want to see if it's as terrible as it seems." Shi Lian said very easily.

"Madame is a doctor? The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the villain should be damned. But Madame, you listen to the villain's advice. This Ningcheng really can't go. Even the imperial physician of the palace is helpless, not to mention your young age, madame." Chopper said.

"Boy. Don't look at my master's young age, think about me calling her master with such an old bone,

One can imagine how high his medical skills are. You can't talk about age when you are old." Divine Doctor Shen said that his master's medical skills were superb, and he would never allow anyone to question his master's medical skills.

"Uncle, don't get excited, I just said casually, Ningcheng is really not going to go now. Madame won't tell you anything. We have the grapevine. In fact, the plague on the Ningcheng side has another hidden meaning. It's not what they say it is." Chopper wanted to go to Ningcheng when he saw it, so he said mysteriously.

"Oh! Do you know what's going on inside?" Shi Lian listened to Chopper's words. There was a little abruptness in my heart, could it be that this plague was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Then no matter what, he will find the root of the problem. It doesn't matter who it is. As long as you are a person who does not take human life seriously. He's definitely going to find a way to fix them.

"I don't know the specifics. The other day, we went out to rob and picked up a dying man on the road. He had been talking nonsense with a high fever. Just when he was sober, he heard that the plague in Ningcheng was a hoax. In fact, it is to catch strong men. I don't know about the rest. Now that brother is still unconscious in our stockade!" Chopper said.

"Okay. Wait, can you take me to meet him?" Shi Lian said.

"No problem." Chopper said.

On the way up the mountain, Shi Lian kept chatting with Chopper. After walking for about an hour, when it was already dark and they couldn't see their fingers, they finally arrived at the cottage halfway up the mountain.

In the cottage. As soon as Chopper and the others returned, a crowd of women and children poured out. All of them were wearing patched clothes. All of them are yellow and thin.

But when they saw Chopper, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

"Boss, who are these people?" The woman in the stockade asked Chopper a little puzzled.

"Let's go back first. Food will arrive later. They are nobles, so don't bother with them." Chopper said to the women and children in the cottage.

Listened to Chopper's words. The crowd didn't dare to stay longer. Directly into the stockade again. I'm afraid I'll collide. The noble man that Chopper said in his mouth.

"Madame, you go to the stockade to rest for a while, and I'll have some hot water boiled for you." Chopper said.

"Okay." Shi Lian responded. Under the leadership of Chopper, he came to a decent room. Now it's dark, and a lot of torches are lit in the stockade.

Shi Lian casually glanced at the situation in the village. It's very bad. Thanks to them, they can still live here. He really admired the adaptability of these people.

If the common people can't survive, do they have to rebel?

"Chopper, I'll take a break. Later, you will take me to meet the person you said came out of Ningcheng." Shi Lian continued.

"Yes, ma'am. The small ones will be arranged." Chopper asked Shi Lian to be repaired in a yard. He had some hot water boiled.

Shi Lian asked Wang Licheng to take out the dry food they had now. First give the women and children in the village first, fill their stomachs. He had just seen the yellow-skinned faces of each other. I can't bear to look at it.

"Thank you, ma'am." Chopper took the dry food that Wang Licheng gave him. He couldn't be grateful.

"Okay, you can quickly take it and give the lady and the children in your village some food to cushion their stomachs." Shi Lian said.

Chopper took out the dry food they had provided and gave it to the hungry ladies and children who were still there.

Take a break. Shi Lian was led by Chopper to the bedside of the man Chopper said had escaped from Ningcheng.

It also gave people a number of pulses. Shi Lian's face was very complicated. The person is now in a deep coma. I want to wake him up. Somewhat difficult.

Doctor Shen also came over and gave this person a pulse. His face sank, too. He only said that the man had been poisoned. What kind of poison was hit. He couldn't even get out.

But this poison is very domineering, if this person is not saved by the people in the cottage. I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious for a long time.

"How's Doctor Shen?" Shi Lian asked.

"Master, the disciple is ashamed, and only called out that this person has signs of poisoning. But I can't tell what kind of poison this is. How to detoxify. And this person

The body is too weak. Probably won't survive more than three days." Doctor Shen told the conclusion of his diagnosis.

"It's already very good, worthy of Doctor Shen. If it is an ordinary doctor, he can't see a doctor at all, and this person is caused by poisoning. Rather, they will say that the man has a pestilence." Shi Lian said sharply.

"How so?" Doctor Shen said in disbelief.

"This vein, ups and downs, and nothing. And it's messy. It can be diagnosed with wind chill. And I had a high fever two days ago. If you want to hear and ask cut down. It will be mistaken for the plague."

Shi Lian continued to explain. He's right. The imperial doctor who went to Ningcheng to diagnose the pulse before also diagnosed such a pulse. The patient also had a high fever and vomited. The pulse can be diagnosed, and the symptoms of wind and cold are used, but antipyretics are used. Medicine for wind and cold. Medicines to treat vomiting. All the drugs are ordered. It's just not improving. And it's getting worse.

So the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless at all. They have done their best. But they couldn't find a cure for the plague.

Even if it's the right medicine. But cured of vomiting. But it can't cure the wind and cold. The wind chill was cured, and the high fever did not go away. After being cured, the high fever and vomiting began again. repeatedly

The people who engaged in it were exhausted. Exhausted and unbearable. Not only vomiting, but also diarrhea. That pulls up is endless. Pull people are doubtful of life. I just can't stop.

After the diarrhea was cured, I started vomiting. Shi Lian looked at the pulse and treatment records sent to the palace by the imperial doctor. Look at the first two big. He thinks this disease is a naughty child.

Come and play hide and seek with the imperial doctor. You see, after being cured, this disease has come back again. The disease was cured, and the disease recurred. Endless. It's hard to know where to start.
