Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Because there was still to wait, the Man Baos simply chatted with the yamen and asked about the current situation in the city.

It's just that the yamen was very cautious and didn't want to say too much. The three of them could only step aside and look up at the city.

Xiazhou City is the only way for the Turks to go south. Half of its jurisdiction is grassland. About 300 miles to the north is the Shanyu Duhufu, and in the middle are large grasslands and forests.

Therefore, the city of Xiazhou City is towering and the gate is still thick. It is an important town for troops. It is obviously not a border gate, but there are a lot of troops.

After taking a closer look, they found that there were many soldiers walking on the city wall, but they were not facing the outside, but facing the inside of the city.

It seems that the situation in the city is not very good.

Just thinking about it, the small door under the city wall opened, and the three horses galloped out. They were attracted by silence to look over.

Seeing the person coming, Man Bao, who was leaning on the horse, stood up immediately, and the man jumped off the horse and rushed over, "Miss Man, you're here—"

Man Bao stretched out his hand to support Wan Tian, ​​who was about to kneel, and asked, "How about Brother Yang and the others?"

Wan Tian wiped his tears and said, "Master is okay, it's Madam..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned sideways and said, "Miss Man, hurry up and enter the city, the master and all the adults are waiting in the county office."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other, and turned around without asking any further questions.

With Wan Tian leading the way, they entered the city smoothly. When they entered the city, they found that there was no one on the road, but there were many checkpoints on the road, all guarded by soldiers.

When Wan Tian was verifying his identity, he took the time to talk to Man Bao Bai Shan: "Master has set aside a few houses in the city to accommodate patients, and some of those who cannot be arranged will temporarily live in wooden sheds. People are not allowed to move outside."

"If any of the residents in the city are sick, they must be isolated in the house alone, and doctors will come to see the doctor regularly, but there are only thirteen doctors in the city, which is too few to care for so many people." Wan Tian He almost burst into tears and said, "So most of the sick people have to be sent to the unified house. Madam, Madam was also sent this morning."

Man Bao was startled and asked, "Is the sister-in-law infected?"

Wan Tian nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Those people are too evil, we have taken every precaution, but I didn't expect people to take advantage of them."

The group went through three intersections before reaching the county office. Perhaps it was because Wan Tian was with him, so the soldiers guarding just glanced at them and let them go, so the speed was so fast.

There were many people in the county office, and many officials came and went. Only a few people near the lobby heard Yang Heshu's voice, which seemed a little hoarse, but they still ordered one by one in an orderly manner.

As soon as Man Bao appeared at the door, Yang Heshu raised his head and looked at them. He couldn't help but smile. He put down the official document in his hand and got up, but perhaps he had been sitting for too long, and his eyes were blurred for a while, and he had a smile on his face. Unchanged, still propped up on the table, but paused for a while.

After a while, Bai Shan and the others had already rushed up to support him, "Brother Yang?"

The person in front of him slowly became clear, and his voice became clear. He smiled and said, "Are you here?"

The officials who were still waiting in the hall looked at them curiously.

Yang Heshu pressed Zhou Man's hand touching his pulse door, and introduced to the crowd, "This is the imperial physician Zhou from the Imperial Hospital."

He pointed to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and said, "These two are students of Chongwen Museum. They will work with us in the future. Let's meet."

The officials in the hall were startled, and then they were overjoyed, and they came forward to greet each other, especially Zhou Man was very enthusiastic.

During this period of time, they had not listened to Zhou Man's deeds. They heard that she was a famous doctor in the capital. Although they knew that she was young before, they only realized now that she was so young.

Man Bao could see that Yang Heshu was overtired, and most of the time he was hungry, so he took it away and politely returned the gift to everyone.

Yang Heshu smiled as they greeted them, and then let everyone go back to eat first, while he led Man Bao and the others to the backyard.

As soon as he got to the backyard, Yang Heshu put away the smile that had always been on his face, and he said to Wan Tian, ​​"Take Daji and the others to settle down."

Wan Tian responded and asked Daji to go down.

Bai Shan nodded to Daji, and Daji went down with two guards, and asked for medical assistance by the way.

The medical assistant thought for a moment and followed.

Their relationship is good at first glance, and most of them have private things to say, and he still doesn't stick here.

Yang Heshu sat on the chair and instructed the servants to prepare lunch. Bai Shan and the others untied the cloak and handed it over to them.

Yang Heshu said, "You guys are staying in the county office temporarily. Did you arrive early? When will the convoy from Tai Hospital arrive?"

Man Bao said: "If there is no accident, they will arrive in three days."

Yang Heshu breathed a sigh of relief and said to them, "There are not many medicinal herbs in the county. I have already tried to get them from other places, but there is also smallpox outside the city of Xiazhou, so I can only mobilize them."

Man Bao asked, "How many people in the city are sick now?"

Yang Heshu sighed deeply: "There are 1,859 people in the book."

That is to say, there are still not listed.

He said: "There are a lot of people who are not in the book, especially in the villages outside the city. Since the city was completely sealed off, my control over the villages outside the city has weakened. Some villages have smallpox in the whole village. If I can seal the village, I will send them some medicine, but..."

He paused for a while and said uncomfortably, "There are too few doctors..."

It's really too few, and he can't force doctors to come to the epidemic area. Half of the thirteen doctors who are willing to stay in the city are from other places.

The doctors in the city ran half way before, let alone recruited from other places.

Man Bao said: "With so many patients, how can a doctor be responsible for so few?"

"So many people have died in the past few days," Yang Heshu rubbed his forehead wearily and said, "It's been fifteen days since the city was closed, and counting the earliest cases I know of, it's already the thirty-eighth day. , many patients are arriving at the end of the day."

"I have people divide the cases according to the severity, and let the doctor give priority to the patients with mild and moderate symptoms..." Yang Heshu told them about the current situation in the county town.

When the food was delivered, they went to clean their hands to eat together, and then he mentioned Mrs Cui, "Your sister-in-law has also been infected with smallpox, and now she has been moved to the house, will you come with me to see her later? Or do you want to rest for a while? "

Seeing that his eyes were a little red, Man Bao said, "Let's go after dinner."

Yang Heshu nodded.

It's been five days. It's the first time that I have eaten such a delicious and appetizing meal. Man Bao ate two bowls of rice in a row, and only after eating did he ask, "Where's Brother Qi?"

Yang Heshu asked people to carry Qi Geer out.

He was two years old, probably because his mother was not around, his eyes were red from crying, and he was still twitching when he was picked up by the nurse.

Man Bao reached out to hug him, but he reached out to his father.

Yang Heshu reached out and held him in his arms, and asked Man Bao to examine him.

Man Bao just felt his pulse, and then touched his forehead. Seeing that there was no problem, he took out the medicine bottle, poured a pill into his mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"

Qi Ge'er was so happy that she immediately forgot her mother, and answered crisply, "Sweet!"

See you tomorrow
