Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 241 Finally Ended
We had no time to rest for the whole first month of the year. I thought that after returning from Wangjiang Tower, everyone could have a good rest and then start preparing for spring ploughing.

But unexpectedly, trouble broke out somewhere else.

In desperation, Qu Shaoyang could only mobilize manpower again to arrange various prevention and control matters.

The security team gathered people and went to the villages where the outbreak occurred to set up control, and they surrounded the villages where Koreans lived, preventing people from running around.

Doctor Chen and Doctor He took the medicinal materials and went to treat people with mild symptoms in the surrounding villages.

It’s not that they discriminate against anyone and don’t help people in need, but they just have limited manpower.

The situation around here is relatively mild. According to previous experience, it can be completely controlled by using aged mustard greens brine in combination with prescriptions for clearing away pathogens and eliminating toxins.

We need to stabilize the surrounding area first so that we can have time to treat the patients in those villages.

Otherwise, with only a few of us around, if we only care about the beginning and not the end, all our efforts will be in vain in the end.

In addition to routine operations, the most important thing is to purchase medicinal materials from Tonghua and other places and report to the county government to request assistance.

The Chen family doesn't have many medicinal herbs left, but Doctor He still has some.

But the situation in Qidaogou and Badaogou seems to be more serious, and I’m afraid that the He family’s medicinal materials may not be enough.

There are not many medicinal materials, and there are not enough people who know medical skills. The situation in those villages is very serious. This is a tough battle, and it will be difficult without help.

Fortunately, with previous experience, everything was arranged quickly. So Qu Shaoyang and Doctor Chen led the team and set off with several carts of medicinal materials.

Before leaving, Li and Chen Xiuyun repeatedly told Qu Shaoyang and the others to be extra careful.

Originally, Li and Chen Xiuyun also wanted to go with them. They both knew medical skills, and Chen Xiuyun had inherited Doctor Chen's true skills. However, they lacked experience.

But Gensuo is only a few months old and is still breastfeeding. No matter what, you can't let her go to such a dangerous place.

Li was worried about her daughter and grandson, and she had to take care of them at home, so she had no choice but to stay.

The group quickly arrived at Qidaogou and began to carry out control, isolation and treatment step by step.

Sure enough, the symptoms here are similar to those at Wangjiang Tower.

Based on their previous experience in using medicine, Chen and He combined aged mustard pickle with other prescriptions, and added acupuncture and other methods for treatment.

After a few days, the conditions of patients with mild symptoms improved significantly, and those with severe symptoms also showed significant improvement.

However, the situation in those villages where Koreans live is not optimistic. People with severe symptoms die one after another, and people are infected every day.

When some people saw this situation, they wanted to escape from the village, but they were stopped by the security team as soon as they reached the village entrance.

The security team members were all wearing white coats, masks, and holding guns in their hands.

Some people are timid and dare not run away when they see this.

But there were some people who didn't care and insisted on rushing out, which led to conflicts with the security team.

Fortunately, this time, the county government finally took action and sent some officers to cooperate with the security team to stop those who broke in.

At the same time, all the medical clinics in the county arranged staff to provide assistance and brought a large amount of medicinal materials.

The newcomer has no experience and can only help Chen and He at first.

There are enough manpower and medicinal materials, and the conditions of the patients around are also effectively controlled.

After Chen and He discussed it, Doctor Chen led most of the people into those Korean villages to treat the illnesses.

Doctor He took a few people to stay behind to finish the work. After the patients with mild symptoms recovered, Doctor He immediately brought people to provide support.

This time, the county government also arranged for runners to check and publicize in every village along the Yalu River.

Let everyone be on guard and never take in anyone coming from the opposite side.

People in all the villages also learned the news, so they became extra careful and alert at all times.

As the weather gradually warmed up, the ice on the river began to change its properties, becoming brittle and unable to bear weight. In addition, the disease on the other side of the river was spreading very seriously, and most people had died, so few people fled this way.

Qu Shaoyang and others stayed in Qidaogou and Badaogou for about a month.

Thanks to the full efforts of Chen Langzhong and others, the conditions in those Goryeo villages were effectively controlled.

Unfortunately, because the disease was concealed at the beginning, many people became seriously ill, and eventually sixty or seventy people died, and all were cremated.

Of course, compared with the other side of the river, this is already a very good result. There are many villages over there, and the entire village is empty.

In the blink of an eye, it is already early March. The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and every household is busy preparing for spring plowing.

Qu Shaoyang and others had completed their mission, packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"Brother Chen, Brother He, although we have only spent a short time together, I admire your medical skills and your character very much.

If it were not for the two of you, the disease would not have been brought under control so quickly. If that had happened, countless people would have suffered.

We have benefited a lot from following you two this time.

Later, when you two are free, you must go to the county town and we can have a good discussion."

Before leaving, the doctors who came from Tonghua and other places to provide assistance surrounded Chen and He and said goodbye to them sincerely.

"I have said it before, I have said it before, you are all the best in the medical field, but each of you has your own strengths.

In the future, Chen will continue to ask for your advice. "When Doctor Chen heard this, he immediately bowed and greeted everyone politely.

On the other side, the chief clerk and squad leader sent by the county government were also saying goodbye to Qu Shaoyang and others.

"Captain Qu is so young, yet he is both intelligent and brave, and he remains calm in times of crisis. This is truly rare.

This time, the area along the river suffered a disaster, but thanks to Captain Qu's proper handling, the disaster did not spread and the lives of the people in the villages along the river were saved.

After returning, I will report the matter to the county magistrate truthfully. Captain Qu and the security team must be rewarded for their contributions. "

The chief clerk patted Qu Shaoyang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Your Excellency is too kind. Shaoyang is also from here, a native of the village. When fellow villagers are in trouble, we should lend a helping hand.

I don't deserve the praise from the adults, nor do I dare to take credit for it.

As long as this batch of symptoms is cured and everyone can live and work in peace, Shao Yang will be satisfied. "

Qu Shaoyang thought to himself, I can’t afford the reward from the government, so forget it.

I will live my life, and you guys continue to eat, drink and have fun, and we just don't interfere with each other.

“Hey, meritorious service should be rewarded.

Don't worry about this matter. I will definitely commend your contribution to the county magistrate. Just wait for good news."

The chief clerk smiled like a flower and looked at Qu Shaoyang with admiration in his eyes.

Qu Shaoyang saw this and thought, this is a gesture of respect, so he secretly gave the chief clerk a fifty-liang silver note.

Even though the chief clerk is not a high-ranking official and has the lowest rank, he works in the county government after all and has a say in front of the county magistrate.

This person is someone you should make friends with. You don't need to use him when something happens. It's enough as long as he doesn't do bad things behind your back.

Seeing that Qu Shaoyang was so capable, the chief clerk was even happier.

After quietly accepting the banknote, he patted his chest and promised that he would say a few good words to the magistrate when he returned.

Who knows, if the adults are happy, they might even assign you a job or something.
