Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 502: Rebirth after the catastrophe
Dong Jiafu felt relieved when she saw that Cui Qiyan was not wearing the same clothes he wore this morning.
"You went outside the camp?"
"Well, didn't you tell me to change my clothes and wash my body? So I went to take a bath in the river."
Dong Jiafu was surprised. "The river water is very cold now, why don't you wash in the tent?"
"It's not very convenient in the tent. The river water outside is cold, but it only feels cold for a short while after entering the river. After that, I don't feel anything."
Thinking that she still cared about him when she was sad, Cui Qi Yan couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
"The weather is getting colder, so you should be more careful, my prince."
"I will. You came to see me?"
"Oh, this is the new sachet for preventing plague that I packed yesterday. I took one extra. Your original one is no longer usable, so use this one." Dong Jiafu spread out her hands and gave him the sachet.
Cui Qiyan took it and immediately tied the sachet around his waist.
"You came here just to give me this?"
Dong Jiafu nodded, "Yes."
Cui Qiyan couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of his lips.
"Thank you, Prince, for blocking the blood stain for me just now."
"Dong Jiafu, you were careless. Seven or eight out of ten people infected with the plague will vomit blood before they die. You shouldn't have been so close to Da Niu." Cui Qiyan was scared when he thought of the situation at that time. He didn't dare to think about the consequences if he hadn't happened to catch up.
"Yes, I admit that I am not a qualified doctor. I am too emotional."
Hearing her say this about himself, Cui Qi Yan began to feel sorry for her again.
"I'm sorry, I said that harshly. I was just too worried about you. It's not your fault that you value feelings. It's understandable that you feel pity for a poor kid like Daniu."
"If I hadn't asked the master to change the prescription for him to a more effective one, he might not have passed away so soon..." Tears flowed uncontrollably, and Dong Jiafu quickly turned her face away.
It turned out that she had other worries. Cui Qiyan walked over and gently held her in front of him, sighing: "Cry if you want to. I believe that for Daniu, this is the best relief for him compared to lying in bed in such pain. He has suffered too much in this life, let him find a good family as soon as possible."
Dong Jiafu rested her forehead on his shoulder, and her tears fell to the ground one by one like beads from a broken string.
Her body was shaking, but she didn't cry out.
Little did she know that the more she suppressed herself, the more distressed Cui Qi Yan felt.
She raised her hand and then quietly put it down. Cui Qi Yan was afraid of interrupting her, so she just wanted to cry.
After a long while, Dong Jiafu stopped crying and raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure, please go in, my lord."
"My shoulder is always available for you to lend me." Cui Qiyan said with pity.
"I'm much better now. There are still many things waiting to be done. I'm leaving now."
Dong Jiafu turned away and went to the well to fetch some water. After washing her face, she calmed down a lot and went back to work with renewed energy.
When Xiuniang saw her, she also burst into tears, "Miss Dong, I heard about Daniu's story. The poor child died at such a young age. How could God be so blind to let such a child die like this..."
Xiuniang thought of her daughter.
"People often say that there is no age limit on the road to the underworld. No matter who goes there, we don't want to see it. I promised Daniu that I would cure him, and I broke my promise."
Noticing her red eyes, Xiuniang quickly stopped crying and said, "Ms. Dong, please don't think like that. Everyone has seen how good you are to Daniu. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that in front of you. No one is more sad than you about Daniu's death."
"It doesn't matter," Dong Jiafu shook her head. "The dead are gone, but the living must continue to live. How do you feel now?"
"I feel much better, I have more strength and my appetite is good."
This is good news. Not only Xiuniang, but several people in this tent are gradually recovering, and more and more people are transferring here from another tent.
Dong Jiafu was somewhat comforted. "Hold on for a few more days, and you will soon be able to defeat the plague."
Xiuniang nodded heavily, "In order to find my children and relatives, I will definitely not give up."
This day was a turning point. From that day on, the number of people infected with the plague decreased day by day. Several patients were diagnosed by Chen Yuanshi and others and had completely recovered and moved out of the tent.
The successive good news lifted the hearts of everyone in the camp.
Although there will still be patients who will die, we all know that the epidemic is developing in a positive direction and our hearts are full of hope.
"Miss Dong, your method is effective. In some time, the plague will be completely under our control." Director Chen could not hide his joy.
Dong Jiafu did not dare to take credit for it. "The current situation is not the result of my method alone. It is Chen Yuanshi who has taken control of the overall situation, and worked with the imperial doctors and doctors day and night to study the prescription. There are also your careful care for the patients, as well as the protection of Jingzhao Prefecture, the Imperial Guards, and the Internal Affairs Office. It is because of everyone's concerted efforts that the plague can be controlled."
As a young woman, she is smart and eager to learn, modest and kind-hearted. Envoy Chen admired her very much and said, "I have seen all your efforts. When I return to Beijing, I will ask the emperor for rewards for you."
It was indeed a risky and hard job for them. In addition to the two imperial physicians before, two more people and a medical officer in the Imperial Hospital were infected. Fortunately, their lives are not in danger for the time being.
On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were finally no more infected people in the camp.
Envoy Chen wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital. The emperor was very pleased after reading it and sent an eunuch to convey an oral order that they could return to the capital tomorrow and that the victims would be escorted back to their hometowns by other people.
They also learned from the eunuchs that the flood in Jizhou had been controlled and the victims in the capital would return to their hometowns together tomorrow.
Everyone was delighted to hear this, but Dong Jiafu was wondering whether her father had also returned from Jizhou, and what about her mother. She had been away from home for so long, and she didn't know if her second brother could hold on.
In addition to the emperor's oral instructions, the eunuch brought another thing.
The eunuch pointed to the two carriages behind him and said, "These are all arranged by His Majesty. His Majesty sympathizes with you all and has specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare good wine and delicious food to reward you all."
Cui Qiyan thanked everyone on behalf of them.
After dark, people in the camp made a fire and barbecued together.
The bonfires shone on people's faces, and after removing the silk cloths, the victims smiled as if they had survived a disaster.
The haze that had been covering the campsite dissipated, and the bright moon and stars were very beautiful.
Dong Jiafu sat on the straw mat and took a deep breath. The air smelled of grass, barbecue, and wine. The smell of fireworks was the most soothing, and she felt like she was reborn.
Dong Jiafu looked up at the starry sky and wondered how great it would be if Daniu could see all this.
