Chapter 37, Turnaround
Chen Daoting was silent for a while, "Tens of thousands of people in Yancheng have all been infected, and even the doctors sent by the imperial court have not been spared, and the higher authorities have ordered the burning of Yancheng, how can you let me let them live?"
"Being infected does not mean that they cannot be cured, as long as the people no longer drink the water that has been medicated, the three doctors naturally have their means to save people.
General Chen only needs to be accommodating and let me go out of the city to get water, or General Chen is not at ease, so arrange for someone to fetch water and put it at the city gate and we can get it.
As long as he can find a glimmer of life for the remaining people in Yancheng, General Chen will save thousands of lives."
Chen Daoting shook his head, "Even so, the order from above has been issued, why should I go through this troubled water in one fell swoop? Wouldn't it be better to follow the order and complete the task?"
Luo Xue said solemnly, "This is a bad word, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, since ancient times, emperors have understood its reasoning, if Yancheng can give up casually, your majesty will not send three doctors to come."
Although there is an order to burn the city, it is also forced to do so. And now, now that you know that it is a man-made ghost, if General Chen finds out the people behind the scenes, you have saved thousands of people in Yancheng.
Do you think this merit will be more appreciated by your majesty than directly burning the city to complete the task?"
Chen Daoting seemed to be moved, and looked sideways "After talking for so long, the girl has never shown her true face, how do you know if the girl is credible?"
Luo Xue chuckled, "I'm a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't show my face everywhere, let alone talk to General Chen here at this time."
Besides, it's inconvenient for me to walk alone, although I don't think I can be bullied, but if there are always small people who are worried about it, I can't help but be too upset, and I shouldn't show my true face if I am ruthless, General Chen, do you say yes?"
Chen Daoting groaned for a while before he said, "The girl is really articulate." Go back, and I will send someone to find out what you said, and if that is the case, go to the city gate every morning to fetch water.
But I said ugly things in the front, you only have half a month, if half a month later, the epidemic situation does not improve, immediately burn the city! This is already my biggest concession."
Luo Xue got up and arched her hand and said, "Then thank General Chen here for the people of Yancheng" After speaking, Luo Xue said goodbye and returned to the city.
When I returned to the shed in front of the temple, I saw that more patients had gathered, and the three doctors were very busy, adding several medicine jars to boil the medicine.
Luo Xue saw that she couldn't help much, so she helped to boil the medicine on the side. When he was done, Doctor Tan saw Luo Xue and said with a smile
"Miss Luo, you're back, how did you arrange the drinking water, there are so many people, all of them are waiting to drink water, and I don't know what to do."
"There should be clean water at the gate of the city early tomorrow morning, let's go get it, and bear with it for the time being. Don't touch the water in the well again. ”
"That's really good" Hearing the news, Doctor Tan was very happy, and saw that Luo Xue was still helping to boil the medicine, so he hurriedly said, "Let's just come to the medicine boiling matter, Miss Luo, you can go and rest." ”
Luo Xue shook her head, "You agreed to teach me medical skills, how can you do the opposite?"
When Doctor Tan heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and said, "What did Miss Luo say, how dare we go back on our word, it's just that I've been busy for so long today, I'm afraid that Miss Luo will be tired."
In this way, why don't you go and rest for the time being, and learn some basic knowledge of medicine together tomorrow morning?"
Hearing Doctor Tan say this, Luo Xue felt that she was also a little tired, just using the spirit control technique to extinguish the fire, she had overdrawn her spiritual power.
And because the things that followed one after another, I didn't have time to recover properly, and I should take a good rest, so I didn't shirk anymore, said hello, and walked to the inn in Yancheng.
It's all this time, the inn is naturally out of business for a long time, many of them are vacant, Luo Xue casually found an inn that was okay, and settled down.
From the next day, Luo Xue helped boil medicine, took care of patients, and did it herself.
Because of the wonder of Luo Xue summoning water to extinguish the fire that day, although Luo Xue strongly denied that it was the mercy of the heavens, the people still thought that Luo Xue was the messenger sent by God to help them, and she was a living Bodhisattva who walked the world, and she had great respect for Luo Xue.
If it was taken care of by Luo Xue personally, it would be even more moved to tears and couldn't help herself, at first Luo Xue also explained, seeing that everyone couldn't listen, and slowly got used to it after a long time.
Fortunately, with a clean water source, everyone's condition was finally under control, and the medical skills of the three doctors were quite profound, and their condition also improved greatly, and they could recover in a few days.
The other people, who were less infected, were getting better and better day by day, and their gray faces gradually became a little ruddy. Although there are a few people who have passed away due to serious infection, at the very least, everyone has seen hope.
The dead patients were carried to a fixed place and burned, and the living patients were more actively cooperating with the doctors' arrangements, hoping that they would survive.
While assisting in the treatment of epidemics, Luo Xue also studied medicine with three doctors, from pharmacology and prescription to field practice of prescribing the right medicine.
Fortunately, Luo Xue is a cultivator after all, and her memory is far more comparable, and after seven or eight days, Dr. Tan wrote down everything she said word for word, and the three doctors praised her for her talent and intelligence, which is a good material for studying medicine.
As for why she wants to study medicine, Luo Xue really doesn't have any special ideas, but she just has a little yearning for people who practice medicine.
But after studying these days, the harvest is still very great, although the monk is powerful, but for many diseases can not be solved with a wave of his hand.
The spiritual power of monks is more suitable for combing the meridians, and when they really encounter complex diseases, they are often helpless except to delay the disease.
The science of medicine is really a collection of the supreme wisdom of human beings, although they are mortals, but they use their wisdom to develop the future of mankind infinitely.
Thinking of this, Luo Xue couldn't help but wonder, would there be such a profession as a physician in the immortal cultivation realm of the Popular Continent? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
I have been living with mortals for so many years, and I have long been accustomed to this way of life, and my life is really not much different from that of mortals, and I don't know if I can adapt to it when I go to the Fengxing Continent in the future.
"Sister Luo, Aunt Pang is dying, she said she wanted to see you at the end. At this moment, a young man hurriedly ran over and interrupted Luo Xue's thoughts.
Looking back, it was Brother Zhuang'er, and this Brother Zhuang was the grandson of Granny Li's family, that is, the old man who led his grandson over that day and kowtowed to save the last seedling of her family.
Unfortunately, a few days ago, Granny Li passed away, and she couldn't withstand the toss of the epidemic at this age, so she couldn't survive it in the end.
After Granny Li died, her grandson Li Zhuang followed Aunt Pang and the two mothers and sons to take care of each other, and Aunt Pang was the aunt who held the child when Luo Xue came to Yancheng to interrogate him first.
At that time, it was already discovered that she was sick and difficult to treat, and now after so many days, she still can't survive. Luo Xue sighed secretly and touched Brother Zhuang'er's little head, "Take me over"
In order to facilitate treatment in this city, the houses have long been inhabited, and everyone lives around the Bodhisattva temple with tents.
Li Zhuang took Luo Xue to a tent, Luo Xue walked in, and saw a woman in her thirties lying on the ground.
Her chest was undulating and her face was flushed, it was Aunt Pang, who was almost taking her last breath at this time, and when she saw Luo Xue's figure coming in, her eyes showed a little excitement.
Luo Xue walked up to her, squatted down, and held her hand, "Aunt Pang, if you have any wishes, just say it." ”
"Miss Luo... Thank you. You've been... Helped us a lot, originally... I shouldn't bother anymore, it's just that I, an orphan and widow, really don't know who else to find, I... I knew I was leaving..."
Speaking of this, she looked at the child who was less than a year old beside her, her eyes showed a little sadness, and she turned to hold Luo Xue's hand
"My Lin Er is still so young... Can't be left unattended.. I hope that Miss Luo can help me find a good family to adopt, and I am willing to repay the girl's great kindness by being a cow and a horse in the next life. ”
Under her eager gaze, Luo Xue finally nodded, and then looked at her with a smile of relief and closed her eyes, and the hand holding her gradually let go.
Luo Xue covered her with a straw mat and carried the sleeping child out of the tent.
