The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

It's the third day since Xu Rongrong arrived in Yuzhou.

They live in the Luo family's house.

As soon as Luo Xiao entered Yuzhou, his expression changed.

She saw that it had been less than a month since she left here, but her current situation was worse than when she left...

The food supply in the four states south of the Yangtze River was sufficient, and there were no runs or starvation.

But... other things seem to be more serious.

Along the way from the city gate, many people were paying homage in front of their doors.

The situation around the Luo family's house is even more serious!Someone died in almost every household.

Xu Rongrong secretly thought something was wrong, so Luo Xiao took the initiative to ask Ying to go out to inquire. After half a morning, she came back with red eyes: "In just a few days, seven or eight families have disappeared. The Lin family next door is almost extinct. …The circumstances of their death are similar to those of their late husbands.”

Xu Rongrong frowned. According to the trajectory of his previous life, the epidemic did break out at this time.

Nowadays, many people have died in Yuzhou, but the news has not been spread out. The only person who can rely on now is Shu Qing.

The Luo family is a small courtyard with two entrances. Before the Luo Xiao family left Yuzhou, they dismissed their servants.

Therefore, the house was empty, but for Xu Rongrong, it was just right for placement.

Luo Xiao was out today, and someone had already come to inquire about her.

Xu Rongrong pretended that she was a distant relative of the Luo Xiao family. Firstly, the surrounding neighbors were trapped in their own family's predicament, and secondly, they also knew that the Luo family was relatively wealthy when the men of the Luo family were around, so it was normal to have such a noble lady.

Therefore, no one asked anymore.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Luo Xiao told Xu Rongrong that several neighbors in the surrounding area were suffering from high fever, and they didn't know if they could ask Dr. Shu to come for a consultation.

Upon hearing this, Shu Qing readily agreed.

Along the way, he kept guessing that the purpose of the county leader's trip might be to resolve the current crisis.

So he visited several houses one after another, and after checking the pulse, he copied the prescription for Luo Yuqi's fever, and asked each family to boil it and take it themselves.

Fortunately, his method is correct.

By evening, the patients in two families had recovered from their fever.

Because Mr. Luo Xiao helped a lot, the two families hurried over to express their thanks. One of the children, who had just recovered from fever, also asked to come with him.

Shu Qing seems to like children very much. He has no time to deal with others, but he is very patient with his children.

Before going out, personally carry the child out.

From beginning to end, he kept his hand on the child's wrist, observing his pulse.

After seeing off the guests, Shu Qing turned around and went to Xu Rongrong's yard, frowning deeply.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong asked Wen Yao to take Luo Yuqi out to play. They were the only two left in the courtyard: "How is it?"

Shu Qing said in a deep voice: "Their situation is almost the same as Luo Yatou's symptoms before."

"Then it's not an epidemic?" Xu Rongrong asked, because now Luo Yuqi could no longer see any signs of illness.

"That...can't say that." Shu Qing paced in the hospital, "When I went to the neighbor's house with Luo Xiao for consultation today, I saw the bodies of those who died of sudden illness. They were all covered with ulcers. Death is indeed like an epidemic..."

"Now I have a guess: this disease should be divided into two stages. Initially, it only causes high fever. If the fever can be reduced in time, the person can be saved, like Luo Yatou... But if it persists, it will enter the second stage. In the second stage of the disease, the disease is induced and one dies. Once the second stage of the disease is entered, the disease will attack quickly."

Xu Rongrong recalled that in just three days since they came to Yuzhou, there were already three or four new deaths in the surrounding area.

If it is true as Shu Qing said, according to the current situation, not to mention Yuzhou City, the entire Jiangnan will repeat the mistakes of the past life.

She said decisively: "I will figure out a way to reduce the fever and the required medicinal materials, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. But do you have any ideas for the second course of the disease?"

Shu Qing was not sure: "This is the first time I have encountered this. I think it will take some time."

Xu Rongrong understood, she invited Luo Xiao and told her exactly what Shu Langzhong had inferred.

Luo Xiao was surprised at first, and then she was full of tears... It turned out that her husband died like this.

And her daughter would have met the same fate if she had not met the county lord and Mr. Shu.

Finally, she wiped away her tears and said, "What does the county master need from me?"

Xu Rongrong sighed inwardly, the woman in front of him was so transparent.

So he directly proposed: "If the antidote is developed, Lang Zhong needs to go deep into the patients, and even... he needs to come into contact with the corpses of violent deaths. You are most familiar with this place. I wonder if there is a way to provide convenience for him."

Luo Xiao pondered for a moment: "Tomorrow, I will take Mr. Luo to the Lin family next door. His family still has an eldest son, but... he seems to be dying soon. Our two families have always had a good relationship, and there is no one else in his family. Luo Xiao If the doctor passes by, no one will notice."

"So good!"

No matter which dynasty it is in, epidemics can make people’s faces change.

An epidemic broke out in the previous dynasty, and the court even ordered the annihilation of villages!

If the news leaks out before a solution is found, the consequences will be disastrous.

After hearing this, Shu Qing walked up to Luo Xiao: "We don't have to wait until tomorrow, let's go now!"

……

When there was no one in the courtyard, Xu Rongrong called Mu Ai: "Do you have a carrier pigeon?"

Mu Ai: "...Uh, ah, no."

Xu Rongrong: "I saw you letting go of pigeons yesterday."

After being caught, Mu Ai said: "Oh... there is one... uh, two."

"Can you send a letter back to Beijing for me?" Xu Rongrong asked him, "I have something urgent and need help from people in Beijing."

She originally planned to send a letter back to Beijing through the post house, and asked Luo Chen to send the doctors found in Beijing who were good at treating epidemics to Yuzhou in batches.

But seeing Mu Ai's little move yesterday, she changed her mind.

Homing pigeons are naturally faster than horses!

Upon hearing this, Muai immediately handed over the carrier pigeon.

In the evening, Xu Rongrong explained everything properly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as she returned to the room, Chu He knocked on the door.

"It's so late, what's wrong?" Xu Rongrong looked puzzled.

"It's too dangerous here. I'll send you back to Beijing." Chu He said.

Xu Rongrong smiled: "Wherever there is danger, I have you and Mu Ai guarding me, and I have Dr. Shu when I am sick..."

"The epidemic is dangerous." Chu He said, "I heard the conversation between you and Dr. Shu. An epidemic is about to break out in Yuzhou!"

"It's just suspicion. Besides, I believe in Mr. Shu's ability."

"Then let him stay and I'll take you back." Chu He was very determined.

Xu Rongrong was a bit dumbfounded: "How can I walk away from this situation? Besides..."

She paused for a moment, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I finally left the prison in the capital. It's impossible to go back like this."

Chu He stopped talking and just looked at her deeply.

In the end, he just backed away without saying anything.
