Now that there is finally a life-saving medicine, Zhou Qi couldn't help but get excited.

As soon as he said this, everyone else couldn't help but look at Zhou Liu.

A doctor who could cure the plague came to the city, and they had also heard of him.

All four of them were infected with the plague, but their symptoms were milder than Zhou Qi's. Who would want to die if they could survive?

Zhou Liu looked at the skinny Zhou Qi, and then looked at Friday and Thursday who were looking at him expectantly. He looked away in embarrassment, his lips trembling, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"No, no... that thing is on me, we can't expose it... otherwise, the master's knife will be in vain."

When Zhou Qi heard Zhou Liu say this, the light in his eyes went out.

Zhou Si and the other two wiped their faces, took a cake that Shen Rong had sent over, handed it to Zhou Qi, and comforted him, "Don't think too much, eat something first, and then drink the medicine!

The doctor can send us medicine once, or maybe more than once, ha ha ha..." Zhou Si laughed dryly as he spoke.

When others heard him say this, they did not refute it.

It's better to have hope than no hope, right?

Everyone silently divided the cakes, and then each drank a bowl of medicine.

As Shen Rong administered the medicine, the people's health gradually recovered, and Jinhu County slowly regained its vitality.

But, the atmosphere is a little different from usual.

The fireworks that are floating up are black smoke.

Shen Rong asked everyone that those who died from the plague must be burned to ashes in a big fire to prevent the plague from continuing to spread.

In the past, no one would be willing to burn corpses.

But this plague was really terrible, and what was even more terrible was that these people were locked up in the city and left to fend for themselves because of the plague. Therefore, in order to survive, they had to do whatever Shen Rong said.

Shen Rong felt a little heavy as she looked at the black smoke rising in the southwest air.

After all, she arrived too late. Only a small number of people in the county survived.

If Master hadn't started looking for medicine earlier, I'm afraid it would be...

With so many people dead, it would not be an exaggeration for that damned County Magistrate Liu to be cut into pieces!

Shen Rong dragged her heavy steps and just walked into the gate of the county government office when a skinny young man ran over.

"Doctor Shen, we found a foreigner in the alley in the back street. Do you want to go and see him?"

Shen Rong was startled, and immediately turned around and grabbed the other person's clothes, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Shen Rong has basically seen all the patients who are still alive in the past few days, and none of them can live forever.

There were none among the living, so Shen Rong could only focus her attention on the dead.

Even if Shen Rong no longer wants to believe it.

However, with so many people dying in Jinhu County, she had to prepare for the worst.

If Changsheng really did... she would always find him and take him back.

For this purpose, she specifically asked those who helped clean up the dead patients to tell her if they encountered people who had no relatives or friends and whose origins were unknown.

Maybe there is...

Huang Zhiyuan couldn't help but stutter when he saw Doctor Shen was so excited, "A man... a man... and he's quite tall."

Shen Rong's legs went limp, her face pale as she said, "Take me to see it!"

After saying that, she pulled Huang Zhiyuan and ran out.

Outside the gate, people who were queuing up to get medicine saw Shen Rong running out with a pale face, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Doctor Shen, you must take care of yourself!"

"Yes! We are alive thanks to Dr. Shen, so we can't tire you out."

"Doctor Shen is so anxious, is there another seriously ill person?"

Shen Rong had heard people run so fast wherever there were seriously ill patients before, so everyone was no longer surprised by this scene.

Shen Rong was not in the mood to greet everyone at the moment. "Thank you all for your concern. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Shen Rong followed Huang Zhiyuan to the back street.

Because of Shen Rong's instructions, the man's body was not sent to the cremation site, but was left there, waiting for Shen Rong to identify it.

Shen Rong saw a corpse lying on the door panel from afar. She slowed down her pace unconsciously and prayed in her heart: It’s not immortality, it’s not immortality, it must not be immortality!

Perhaps God heard Shen Rong's prayers, because when she approached again, she finally saw the appearance of the corpse clearly.

Her tense heart suddenly relaxed.

That’s great, it’s not immortality!

Huang Zhiyuan had been paying attention to Shen Rong. When he saw that the expression on her face had eased, he asked, "Doctor Shen, is this the person you are looking for?"

Shen Rong shook her head. "No, thank you."

Huang Zhiyuan waved to the young men standing by, signaling them to move the people away.

When Shen Rong returned to the county government office, Fa Cai came over immediately and pulled Shen Rong aside.

"Doctor Shen, where did we get the food? I'm afraid we won't be able to last for two days."

Jinhu County has been under lockdown for more than a month, and many households in the county are beginning to run out of food.

Shen Rong cooked a lot of porridge every day these days and placed it outside the door for people who came to get medicine to take a bowl back.

After a few days, the bags of rice that Shen Rong had asked for from County Magistrate Liu were almost gone.

And this was the case when more than half of the people in Jinhu County died and some were too sick to get out of bed.

If not for this, I’m afraid those bags of food wouldn’t last for two days.

Shen Rong's face was calm, "I understand, is there anything else?"

Fa Cai glanced at the faces of his people and continued, "I wonder if we have enough herbs? Just now, people from Wangjia Village heard that there is medicine to cure the plague here, so they came to ask for it. I'm afraid that the people from the villages behind..."

He didn’t say anything about getting rich later, but Shen Rong knew what he meant.

Jinhu County governs sixteen villages. After a flood, the surviving villagers were relocated to several villages on higher ground in the county.

But no one expected that the plague would break out before they had settled down.

These villages are backed by mountains, with rivers surrounding the mountains. The city gates are closed, and there is no way out, just like in the city. They can only wait to die in the city.

Therefore, these villagers, like the people in the county town, were waiting for Shen Rong's medicine.

Shen Rong didn't know this. She had enough medicine in her space, but she couldn't say that.

"The drug store in the county town..." Shen Rong had the answer by herself when she finished speaking.

Sure enough, Wang Facai shook his head and said, "Since the city was closed, all the medicines in the pharmacy have been sold out, no matter what kind of medicine they are. There is not even a drop left."

Shen Rong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, I'll give you some herbs later. You can arrange some people to collect some herbs according to those herbs. This way, you won't have to worry about running out of herbs."

Wang Facai nodded when he heard Shen Rong say this, "Okay, I'll arrange it later!"

Wang Facai is a constable in Pei County. He is rough but meticulous and has his own methods in doing things. Since the two men entered the city, he has played a significant role in treating the people.

He was in charge of coordinating all the personnel arrangements, and as he was tall and strong, he forced the sick people to obey his orders.

Therefore, he had great confidence in saying this.
