When Zhao Youtian entered the city, he found it desolate. In such a big city, it was so deserted that no one was seen.
Zhao Youtian's heart sank.
When we arrived at the clinic, we saw two big pots boiling at the door. They were filled with medicinal herbs. There was a little medicine boy busy distributing herbs to everyone. It seemed that everyone had come here!
Zhao Youtian hurried over and asked, "Is this the medicine for this disease?"
"No, it can only give healthy people the ability to resist. So far, no effective medicine has been developed. But please rest assured, all the doctors in the city are gathered in the government office to study it." The medicine boy answered habitually.
Many people have asked him this question during this period, and he always answered like this.
Zhao Youtian asked anxiously, "Does the medical department have any doctors at this time? We wanted to go into the city, but the guards at the gate wouldn't let us in. They only asked us to ask a doctor to go out of the city to see the child."
"At the moment, there is none. All the doctors in the city have been invited to the government office. The lord said that they will not be allowed to come back until an effective medicine is developed. Even if we invite doctors out, it will be useless. This is an epidemic." The medicine boy answered honestly.
Zhao Youtian was very anxious: "What should we do? There are still several children at the city gate."
The medicine boy scratched his head and said, "How about this, I ask my grandfather to help you take a look?"
"Is your grandfather also a doctor?" Zhao Youtian rekindled his hope.
"Yes, but he is old now and is not a doctor anymore." said the medicine boy.
"Okay, okay, okay. Thank you for your help." Zhao Youtian nodded quickly.
The medicine boy brought Zhao Youtian to a small courtyard. When he opened the door and went in, Zhao Youtian's heart sank. The old doctor had a head full of white hair and walked tremblingly.
I’m afraid I’ll faint from exhaustion before I even walk out of the city gate!
The medicine boy told the old doctor about the situation. Although the doctor was old, he still had sharp ears and eyes.
The old doctor sighed: "Alas, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I will go with you."
Originally, after passing the clinic to his son, he planned to spend his remaining years there in retirement. After all, his health was failing. However, he did not expect to encounter this incident. Doctors are kind-hearted, so he was not willing to refuse.
Zhao Youtian squatted down gratefully and said, "How about I carry you over? This way it will be faster."
The old doctor nodded, and the medicine boy followed with the medicine box in his arms, and Zhao Youtian ran all the way out of the city.
"All the doctors have been invited to the county government office. I finally managed to invite this old man. Don't be anxious. Let the old doctor examine everyone one by one slowly." Zhao Youtian explained.
Logically, Gou Wa was the sickest, so he should be the first to see the doctor. But at this moment, Zhao Dahuaxue rushed over and said, "Let me see the doctor first. I feel so uncomfortable."
"How can you, an adult, snatch it from a child? It's not that we don't let you see it, but can't you just wait a moment?" someone said unhappily.
"How can I understand? How can I compete with a child? Isn't there a child in her belly? She is a pregnant woman, so she is naturally weaker." Zhao Dahua said casually at this time,
Perhaps it was because Zhao Hulu had been muttering in his ears all this time, and she occasionally felt that she really was pregnant.
During this period of time, she felt nauseous no matter what she ate. She even vomited today and seemed to have a fever.
Someone else started talking, after all, Zhao Hulu was also anxious. Gou Wa's mother didn't argue. Instead of wasting time arguing here, it would be better to let the doctor finish examining Zhao Dahua and then give it to her Gou Wa.
"There's nothing serious wrong with you. You just have a stomachache," said the old doctor.
"Then I wonder how the child is doing? Is he affected?" Zhao Hulu asked hurriedly.
The old doctor frowned and was about to speak when Zhao Dahua quickly said, "I'm fine, so the baby in my belly is fine. Dad, don't ask too much. There are so many children waiting in line. Let's go sit over there for a while. I want to rest."
After hearing this, Zhao Hulu stopped asking questions and helped Dahua to go to the side to rest.
The old doctor just took the woman's pulse and knew clearly that she was not pregnant. But after all, he was so old and experienced, so he knew it all but kept it to himself to avoid trouble!
Then he took the pulse of other children in the village one by one.
Indeed, Gou Wa’s illness was the most serious, and there was really no good medicine. The medicine given by the old doctor could only have a relieving effect.
To put it bluntly, everything depends on fate.
Li Rouniang was also anxious to take the children to line up for medical treatment, but fortunately, Da Ni and Er Ni were only in extremely mild condition, perhaps because of the effect of the space water, and it was not too serious. After taking the medicine given by the old doctor in the evening, the fever miraculously subsided.
Only Xiaocao, although sometimes awake and calling for his mother, was still drowsy most of the time.
Xiu'er's heart almost sank to the bottom. She was afraid that if Xiaocao died, she would not be able to survive.
Li Rouniang was also anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"Yes, it was them. It was this group of people whose children were all infected with the plague."
At this time, the gatekeeper brought a group of people over and pointed at them and said to the leader.
"Sir, what do you want from us?" Zhao Youtian hurried forward and asked.
"My Lord has ordered that all those who have contracted the plague be locked up and treated together." The leading bailiff said, "Pack up and follow me."
Zhao Youtian looked at the dozen or so yamen runners who were all carrying knives, swallowed his saliva, and had no choice but to pack up his things.
A group of people entered the city and followed the yamen runner to a large courtyard.
The sound of a child crying could be faintly heard from inside, and I was afraid that many people had already gone in.
"Can those who are not sick not go in?" Li Rouniang asked tentatively.
Her children have all recovered, and she doesn't want to bring them in and infect them again.
"No, the adults said that you have been together for a long time. Some of you have not yet developed the disease, but that does not mean you are not sick." The bailiff said coldly.
Li Rouniang lowered her head and stopped talking, while Old Man Mo hugged Xiaoshan tightly.
If you go in, it will be difficult to avoid getting sick.
"I won't go in, I won't go in, I'm not sick, why should I go in?" Zhao Dahua started to make a scene.
Zhao Hulu didn't want to let Dahua go in either. After all, everyone inside was sick, and Zhao Dahua was pregnant, so she was afraid she would be infected.
"Yes, yes, why should those who are not sick go in?" There are also those who are not sick. Naturally, they will resist, especially those who have children. Even if it is not for themselves, they want to resist for the sake of their children.
"This is not up to you!" The bailiff took out his sharp knife.
Everyone stopped talking. What else was there to say? If they went in, they might get infected, but if they didn't go in now, they would die on the spot.
Li Rouniang was helpless, so she wrapped a handkerchief around each child and asked them to take it off. She had dipped the handkerchief in spiritual spring water, hoping it would have some effect.
Everyone entered the yard but was not in a hurry to go into the house because they knew that there were people in every room. They squatted closest to the door, looking pitiful in the cold wind.
