I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Chapter 469: It can’t kill people, nor can it cure the plague

The next morning, the east was already bright.

Shen Rong in the space was worried about what was happening outside, so she came out of the warm space early.

The empty tent was freezing cold, and Shen Rong shivered as soon as she came out.

She wrapped herself in a thick coat, opened the tent door, felt the temperature outside was the same as inside the tent, and took a deep breath of cool air.

She turned her head to look at the mottled city wall in the south. This wall separated life and death, and separated her from immortality.

Shen Rong's heart tightened.

Changsheng, Changsheng, you must be well and wait for me!

At this moment, a flash of orange jumped out from the east, and it was dawn.

The handywoman came out of the tent, fetched water and made a fire.

Several doctors also came out of the tent one after another, took out a lot of prepared medicine and put it into the big pot to boil.

As a doctor, Shen Rong couldn't help but walk over and take a look at what medicine these doctors were using.

When the doctors saw Shen Rong coming, they looked at each other but did not stop Shen Rong from looking.

Shen Rong took a closer look and found that the prescription made up of the herbs was just an ordinary prescription for treating colds.

It can't kill people, but it can't cure the plague either.

However, it cannot be said that the prescriptions prescribed by these doctors are completely inappropriate.

In this plague, those who were infected with the plague initially felt like those who had caught a cold, being afraid of the cold and having shivers all over their body. Only later did they develop symptoms different from those of a cold.

Several old women boiled three pots of medicine and ladled the medicine into wooden barrels. Then the officials came up and carried the wooden barrels towards the city gate.

Shen Rong hurriedly followed. She looked at the three buckets of medicine carried by the officers and could not help but look back.

I saw a few old women scooping brown rice into the pot, and it looked like they were cooking porridge.

Shen Rong was stunned. Are you not going to continue cooking now?

Looking again, the officials had already arrived at the city gate carrying the medicine. Shen Rong hurriedly followed them.

"Officer, are there fewer medicines? I heard that all the people in the county are in there. I'm afraid this little bit of medicine may not be enough..." Shen Rong chased after him and pointed at the medicine in the wooden barrel.

The officer glanced at Shen Rong and said coldly, "Don't bother with things that shouldn't be your business. Just finish the job!"

Shen Rong frowned and was about to say something when she heard a commotion behind her.

"The county magistrate is here!"

Shen Rong looked back and saw that County Magistrate Liu was getting out of the sedan chair.

Magistrate Liu came out of the sedan chair and looked up to see several people standing at the city gate.

One of them was the female doctor who came yesterday. She seemed to be the disciple of that immortal. County Magistrate Liu's face suddenly tightened.

"What are you all doing standing at the door? Why don't you deliver the medicine quickly? Can you afford to delay the epidemic?" County Magistrate Liu scolded.

County Magistrate Liu did not care whether Shen Rong was the disciple of that immortal.

Liu Zhizhou was born in a poor family. After he passed the imperial examination, he was directly transferred to a remote area to serve as a county magistrate.

This county magistrate served for more than ten years. Later, he used his connections to be assigned to the prosperous area of ​​Jiangnan.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhou had never heard of Master Taixu, who was very famous in the capital, and he didn't know Master Taixu's abilities.

As soon as Magistrate Liu gave the order, several yamen runners immediately opened the gate a crack, and several other officers and soldiers pointed their long spears at the crack, as if they would stab anyone who broke out without mercy.

Soon, the bailiff carried the bucket into the door and then immediately slipped out.

At this time, the officer next to him immediately closed the door.

Obviously, once the medicine is delivered, nothing else will happen.

Shen Rong was stunned when she saw this scene.

She never imagined that this was the method of treating illness by boiling medicine.

If we put this medicine in there like this, how many people can actually drink it?

Shen Rong walked up to Magistrate Liu, bowed, and said, "Mr. Magistrate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to administer the medicine like this!"

County Magistrate Liu's face darkened. "How dare you! Do I need a female doctor like you to tell me how to do things?"

"Sir, everyone has his own specialty. To cure a disease and save a life, only by listening to the doctor's advice can you recover soon. Am I right?"

Shen Rong knew that County Magistrate Liu was perfunctory in his treatment of the people inside, but in order to go in and save people, she was not afraid of angering County Magistrate Liu.

County Magistrate Liu raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Oh, then Doctor Shen, how should we treat him?" As he spoke, his eyes rolled and he said: "Doctor Shen wants to go into the city to help the people in person? If so, I am willing to help you."

Without waiting for Shen Rong to respond, County Magistrate Liu glanced at the yamen runners behind him and said, "Please bring Doctor Shen in!"

Before Shen Rong could feel happy, she saw the bailiff coming to catch her and hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

She must not be sent in like this!

Shen Rong stared at Magistrate Liu, "Sir Liu, my master is saving people in Pei County now, and ordered me to come here early to save them.

As a doctor, it is my duty to go into the city to save people, but a good cook cannot cook without rice, so please prepare some medicinal herbs for me and go into the city with me."

Medicinal herbs must be available, even if she doesn't use them, they need to be used as cover.

County Magistrate Liu sneered, "Humph, Doctor Shen thinks too highly of himself. I and a few other doctors are enough!"

After saying this, he winked at the two yamen runners.

Liu Zhizhou's meaning was very clear. He just wanted to throw Shen Rong in there to fend for herself under the pretext of saving people.

As for the master that Shen Rong mentioned who was saving people next door, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Is this plague so easy to cure?

Maybe, before the plague was over, her old master was also infected with the plague and died!

When Shen Rong saw the two yamen runners coming to arrest her, she quickly dodged and said, "My master has already developed a prescription to save people, and the plague in Pei County will soon be over.

Jinhu is close to Pei County. There was also a plague there, but the people of Pei County were rescued, while the people of Jinhu County were left to fend for themselves.

The difference in the number of deaths between the two counties is so huge, aren't you afraid that your official position will be in jeopardy?"

As soon as Shen Rong said this, before County Magistrate Liu could say anything, the officers, soldiers and yamen runners nearby suddenly became agitated.

Even the two yamen runners who came to arrest her stopped.

Naturally, they also want to know about the people inside.

After all, they are all locals, and there are their relatives among them. They are just forced to follow the orders of the government and can only listen to the arrangements made by the adults.

County Magistrate Liu's face darkened. He looked at Shen Rong, then lowered his eyes and began to ponder.

It seems that this female doctor really has a way to save lives.

What she said made sense. If she were allowed to go into the city now to treat the people, fewer people under his rule would die.

In this way, his fault can be less severe.

But when he thought of those people, County Magistrate Liu felt a little worried.

Liu Shiling glanced at the tightly closed city gate and thought to himself:

The city gate has been closed for more than a month. The gentleman from the capital must have died of the plague, right?

"Hmph! You little brat, who knows whether what you say is true or false! Is this plague so easy to cure? Aren't you afraid of spraining your tongue by bragging?" Although County Magistrate Liu was somewhat moved by Shen Rong's words, he still forced himself to speak.

At this time, Fa Cai noticed the commotion here and ran over. He happened to hear what County Magistrate Liu said, so he quickly took over the conversation.

"My Lord County Magistrate, what Doctor Shen said is true. I started feeling unwell the day before yesterday, and some of my symptoms are exactly like those of the plague. I am grateful to Master Taixu for prescribing the medicine for me.

After I took the medicine, I recovered in just one night and was as strong as a bull. "

When everyone heard Wang Facai's words, their eyes visibly lit up.

How could County Magistrate Liu not notice everyone's looks?

Well, if that’s the case, he’ll just do some superficial work and send this guy in to die. What can she do?
