Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 130

Daiyu thought for a while and asked, "What kind of illness is this?" Wu Ran said: "At the beginning, the illness was extremely terrible. Within a few days, the patient's body festered and died. It is also extremely difficult to have close contact with the patient. It is easy to be infected. But since last month, the number of infected people has started to decrease, and the number of deaths has gradually decreased. This month, only [-] people died in the whole city. The prince, princess, and the officials think that the disease is not incurable At least it is. At least now there will be no great danger. But...if the blockade continues, the people will starve to death even if they don't die of illness." Huangfu Bingyan asked: "How have you been doing these past few months? Living?" Wu Ran said: "Last year's harvest was good. Last year's taxes and grains had not yet been handed over to the Hangzhou government, so the officials dared to open the government's granary and distributed the grain to the people in the city. But the people in this city After all, there are a lot of people, and at the beginning of the month, the food is almost exhausted." Huangfu Bingyan nodded and praised: "You have done a good job. I think it is because you have restrained yourself well, otherwise, the people in this county will probably die sooner or later. It's time to riot." Wu Ran smiled wryly, and said sadly: "If so, I'm afraid these people will die faster. The governor is afraid that these people will spread the disease everywhere after they go out. There are heavy troops sent to the outer counties, and the officials only hope that a few more of these people can survive."

"It was rumored that Liang Tong was corrupt and perverted the law, and you were the one who spread the rumors of abusing the people?" Wu Ran nodded and said, "Two days before the county was sealed off, the lower officials ordered a few capable people to leave Qingyuan County ahead of time. What to do I have heard a little bit about dealing with places that are suffering from epidemic diseases. Lord Liang did not set fire to Qingyuan County, and I should thank him for his mercy. I know that Lord Liang is not a corrupt official who corrupted the law If I can survive this incident, I will be willing to accept the crime." Daiyu looked at the thin and pale young man in front of her, feeling admiration in her heart.Seeing his pale face, she frowned and said, "Master Wu, stretch out your hand, and I'll feel your pulse." Wu Ran hurriedly got up, stepped back two steps and said, "I dare not trouble the concubine." Dai Yuqian She smiled and said: "I'm also a doctor, not to mention that since we've entered here, we won't worry about whether there will be contagion." Wu Ran shook her head and explained anxiously: "My concubine misunderstood, that's not what I mean by being an official. The lower officials are very lucky and have not been infected." Daiyu nodded and smiled and said, "I can see that too, but Mr. Wu, your expression is uglier than those infected people." Daiyu was a little Helpless, she knew in her heart what this Wu Ran was worried about.Although doctors do not shy away from men and women, most people still can't let go of these.What's more, she has a special status.

Helplessly glanced at Huangfu Bingyan, Huangfu Bingyan raised his eyebrows.Pointing at Wu Ran, Wu Ran's acupoints were immediately tapped, and was pushed to the side of the chair by a gentle palm wind to sit down.Wu Ran is a literati, he has never seen such methods before, he can only look at Huangfu Bingyan and Daiyu with wide eyes.Daiyu stepped forward to feel his pulse, and then she relaxed slightly.Wu Ran didn't have any illnesses, but literati were originally weaker than ordinary people. The life and death of a city's people were on their minds, and they were extremely worried, overworked, and malnourished.Even if I'm not sick, I'm afraid I'll run out of oil and burn out after another month.Daiyu said: "Master Wu, you'd better spend less time on your mind. It's best to rest for a few months after this incident. If you don't take care of it well, you may lose ten years of life. It will also cause the root cause of the disease. Do you usually have headaches?" Wu Ran nodded. Well, he really didn't expect that the fairy princess in front of him really had some skills.Daiyu said: "Pay attention to rest, I will prescribe a medicine for you, after two days the medicine will be delivered, you must keep taking it, otherwise your headache will accompany you for the rest of your life." Hearing this, Wu Ran's eyes lit up He paid attention to what Daiyu said about the delivery of the medicinal materials in two days. Are the people in the city really saved? Daiyu said with a slight smile, "Since we are here, we are naturally for the people in the city. What's more, the doctor Ji who came with us is a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, so you can rest assured." Hearing this, Wu Ran was almost overjoyed And Ti, "The lower officials wrote about the princes and concubines on behalf of the people of Qingyuan."

Wu Ran reported to Huangfu Bingyan about the situation in Qingyuan County, and while speaking, several doctors who went to check the condition all came back.They didn't look very good when they stepped into the hall.Wu Ran looked at these doctors nervously, Huangfu Bingyan asked: "How is the condition?" The leading old doctor said: "My lord, according to Caomin and others, this is not a terminal disease that cannot be cured at all, nor is infection. It is particularly powerful, and it seems that every infection has a weakening drive. If someone has been sent to treat it early, it will not be "the old doctor is a little bit speechless. The world has been peaceful these years, even the doctor will not see too much life and death, but During the four months in Qingyuan County, almost a quarter of the people died, and most of them died in vain because there were no doctors and no medicinal materials.As doctors, they couldn't understand the Jiangnan government's approach at all.Even if they can't let people go out, at least they should send people to deliver medicine and send doctors over instead of letting these people fend for themselves.Huangfu Bingyan sat on the first seat, silently tapped the armrest with his fingers, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.But Daiyu knew that he was very upset at this moment, maybe someone was going to be unlucky.Sure enough, after a while Huangfu Bingyan raised his head and threw something in his hand towards Lin Qingze.What Lin Qingze received in his hand was Yan Wang's token.Looking at Huangfu Bingyan with some doubts, only to hear Huangfu Bingyan say: "Send an order to Liang Tong and Qin Rui to come to Qingyuan County to see the king immediately. They are asked to come in person. And... they are asked to bring themselves The sons, daughters, wives and concubines of Qingyuan County are short of manpower, let them help the doctors."

Lin Qingze looked at the token in his hand silently, His Royal Highness Yan Wang's way of torturing people was really ingenious.

"In addition, order the Hangzhou government to immediately transport food and medicinal materials to Qingyuan County. The king will not see the food and medicinal materials tomorrow morning, so let all the officials in Jiangnan come to Qingyuan County to help. Since they can't even do this little thing well , then do what you can, and I will replace someone who can do it." Lin Qingze nodded, admiring Yan Wang for being able to clearly understand the thoughts of these people in the officialdom, "The subordinates must bring the original words. "

Daiyu tore off a jade pendant from her waist and said, "Qingze, all the pharmacies and medical centers of the Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River are under your control, and you can handle them yourself." Lin Qingze respectfully took the jade pendant in his hand and said, "My subordinate I understand, girl and prince, please rest assured."

Daiyu nodded, turned to look at Wu Ran and said, "Master Wu, you are more familiar with Qingyuan County. I discussed with some doctors about preparing some disinfectant potions. When the medicinal materials arrive tomorrow, you will send someone to Clean up the city again. Also, are there any seriously ill patients?" Wu Ran nodded and said, "Some seriously ill patients were ordered to set aside a place in the north of the city to live temporarily. There are no sick patients at all. They live in the east of the city, but the number of people is very small. Most people in the city are already sick, but it is not very serious, and there seems to be no sign of reinfection for the time being."

The old doctor next to him nodded and said: "Master Wu did a good job, but these people also need to step up their treatment. Otherwise, they will inevitably die after a long time."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to the north of the city to have a look."

What Wu Ran said was indeed correct, the conditions of the people in the north of the city were much more serious than those in other places.Originally, Wu Ran disapproved of Daiyu and Huangfu Bingyan's coming, after all, a prince and a princess, if something happened in Qingyuan County, the people of Qingyuan might lose their lives again.It's just that Huangfu Bingyan stood there indifferently, that aura alone was enough to make people dare not say anything more.And Daiyu's medical skills are obvious to all. At this time, the more experienced doctors, the better.A group of people followed Wu Ran's footsteps into Beicheng District. Everyone put on a special face scarf to cover their mouth and nose, and also put on special gloves on their hands, trying to avoid direct contact with patients.Seeing Wu Ran skillfully leading the crowd ahead, I think I have visited this critically ill area many times.I felt a little bit of admiration for this young and pale youth in my heart.

Daiyu couldn't help being shocked when she saw the patient for the first time.They were several middle-aged people, both men and women, lying on the bed dying, their exposed hands were covered with festering marks, and the most serious middle-aged woman didn't even know a piece of her face.But these people's spirits are not bad, but the unavoidable fear of death and uncertain future.The brilliance in the eyes of people like Wu Ran became brighter when they saw Wu Ran.The woman asked with some despair: "Master Wu... are we going to die?" Wu Ran stepped forward to hold her hand and patted it without hesitation, and said comfortingly: "No, the imperial court has come to rescue her." Let's leave. Everyone will be fine." The woman shook her head and said, "You...you don't want to lie to us, the imperial court has long since cared about our lives. It's been a few months cough cough..." Said this As she spoke, the woman coughed violently, and blood slowly spilled from her lips.Wu Ran's heart sank. This unknown strange disease, as long as it festers on the face and then coughs up blood, it will die soon. "Wu Ran said in a high voice: "I didn't lie to you, look, behind me are His Royal Highness Yanwang and Wangfei, and they even brought a doctor!" "

Daiyu stepped forward and said: "Master Wu, step aside." Several other doctors have consciously dispersed in the room to check on several other patients.They must collect the information of these diseases as soon as possible, check the condition, so that the appropriate prescription can be formulated as soon as possible. Wu Ran stepped aside in a daze, Daiyu sat on the side of the bed, spread out the silver needles on the side of the bed, took out a silver needle and skillfully pierced the acupuncture points on the woman's body. After several needles, she stopped. He lowered his hands and said softly, "Auntie, what do you think? The woman opened her eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in white with a light veil in front of her with some doubts, and murmured: "Did the fairy come to pick me up?"I'm going to die." Daiyu checked her pulse, looked at her and said softly, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. "
