What a cheating husband

Liang Zijun's mentor did not explain the disease in detail, and only wrote a handwritten method of preventing and curing the disease, without further words.

Chen Qing took it over and saw that it was some basic preventive measures, so he discussed it with him.

In ancient times, there were basic epidemic prevention methods such as centralized treatment of feces, no drinking of raw water, and burning corpses. Chen Qing added modern prevention and control methods, which actually completed this letter.

All Chen Qing could think of was washing hands frequently and disinfecting frequently, but in ancient times there was no disinfectant, so he could only use the stupid method of boiling clothes and spreading plant ash, and covering his mouth and nose with cloth towels to prevent respiratory infection.

The husband greatly appreciated Chen Qing's insight, and after a few words of praise, he told people to do what they can. If there is no cure in Yilai County, it is also a doomed catastrophe.

Farewell to sir, Chen Qing went back to the other courtyard to spend the night through the night.When Uncle Liang learned that there was a plague in Yilai, he vomited out everything he had seen and heard during his travels.

It was rare that Liang Bo was willing to talk more, so Chen Qing listened silently, and did not rest until the moon was above the treetops.

When Liang Bo traveled with Liang Qigui when he was young, he also encountered a village where the epidemic happened occasionally. Fortunately, he had already had a preventive method at that time, and he drank the decoction in advance, which saved most of the lives of the village.

For diseases like Yilai, where humans and animals are successively infected, the situation is unknown, and Uncle Liang didn't dare to come up with any ideas, so he could only go back to the house and burn incense and chant, hoping that Fulang will have a spirit in heaven, and bless Qingping County from being affected by this disease. .

Raising medicinal materials to purchase prescriptions, even if Qin Kexin came forward, he did not gain much. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy heard that there was a plague in Yilai, so he immediately shied away and planned to store more herbs for emergencies.

Fortunately, Qin Kexin is good at setting up tricks, and negotiated the purchase quantity in advance, otherwise these people would have to go in and not borrow money to make money.

Qin Kexin cheated the pharmacy of a large amount of herbal medicines by knocking and beating, and blocked the shopkeepers with misery. Even if he wanted to repent, it would be too late, so he had to beg him to save some life for the people in the county.

Although Yilai is tens of thousands of miles away, Qin Kexin did not buy all the medicinal materials in order to prevent the epidemic in the county, but kept a small half for epidemic prevention, and the rest was loaded by people at the latest the day after tomorrow. Yi Lai.

Having spent 1 taels to get two paper prescriptions, Chen Qing was already very happy, not to mention all kinds of medicinal materials bought at a low price.Chen Qing thanked Qin Kexin repeatedly, and was grateful for Qin Kexin's help, and said frankly that there will be something in return in the future.

Qin Kexin smiled and sighed, "Compared to what Chen Fulang did, a little help is really worthless. The journey is far away and accompanied by epidemics. I think it's better to hire a reliable person to transport it, and don't rush the journey in person."

Chen Qing thought for a while and then nodded his head. Firstly, he couldn't leave the family, and secondly, he was afraid of bringing his illness back and harming the whole family. But who should entrust this kind of errands to?It's okay to hide it if you didn't announce the opening of the fashion. I'm afraid that if you say you are going to Yilai now, most of the escort agencies will refuse to accept the escort.

Qin Kexin saw that he was frowning, so he pointed out a clear way, "If you don't mind, ask Liu Zhizhou for reinforcements. Now that Yilai is trapped, there must be officers and soldiers. If you entrust it to the government, you can unload the goods three miles away. Next, the Yilai guards will transport it back to the county..."

After hearing this, Chen Qing thanked him repeatedly, and invited someone to have a good meal at Wanle Zhai, so that he could go down to Qingping Town that day.

Let's set off the day after tomorrow, and ask shopkeeper Lin in his spare time, maybe he has a life-saving prescription.

Meeting shopkeeper Lin and his aunt at the restaurant, Chen Qing revealed the embarrassment.Aunt Liu was so anxious that she couldn't open her eyes at the moment. How could such a good official who cares about the people suffer such a disaster?

Shopkeeper Lin hesitated again and again, and then took out the rare ancient prescriptions in his home and said, "Hey~ Listen to what Liu Niang said, how can I cherish my broom again! This is a paper prescription that my ancestors got by chance. It is useless at first. Take it together, if it can save the people in the next county, it will be considered as the best use of everything."

Chen Qing took it with both hands, and put it away carefully, "If it is not forced, Chen Qing would not dare to come to ask for it, but if he has made achievements, he will definitely return it."

"Forget it, it's useless to keep it in my hands... Just use it if you need it. If it's useless, don't put it away carefully. I still have a bottom, and this one is not bad." Shopkeeper Lin greeted dinner with a smile. Before leaving, he gave Chen Qing most of the medicinal materials stored in the shop at the market price, and asked them not to go there in person.

Being able to get the help of the elders, Chen Qing was so touched that he couldn't express it in his heart. He has known shopkeeper Lin for many years, and many words have long been unnecessary to express in words. Just a look is enough to express his gratitude.

"I still have a cousin in the provincial capital. I have nowhere to buy many medicinal materials. Most of them are bought by him. You go and take this letter with you. He will help you raise it after reading it." Qing sent a letter, seeing the vigorous handwriting, Chen Qing smiled and waved goodbye to his family.

Now that he has his own flesh and blood, family, and good teachers and helpful friends, how lucky is he in this life?

With shopkeeper Lin's advice, as soon as Chen Qing entered the provincial capital, he searched for people first, settled the people and rushed to the government office.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Liu Weizhi hurriedly pushed off his official duties and led him to the inner hall to talk.

Knowing that Chen Qing's trip was due to the epidemic in Yilai, Liu Weizhi felt a sense of righteousness, and said again and again that he would definitely handle this matter properly and live up to Chen Qing's entrustment.

With Liu Weizhi's help, the next day the goods will be escorted by the official messengers, under the banner of the government, so as to avoid checkpoints at checkpoints and ensure that the goods are not lost.

Shopkeeper Lin's cousin collected the missing medicinal materials overnight and delivered the goods just before departure. After Chen Qing paid off the money, he thanked him three times and gave an extra 50 taels to feel relieved.

The officials sent orders and traveled day and night, and ten days later the medicinal materials arrived in Yilai in good condition. The soldiers who besieged the counties and towns received the orders from above, so naturally they did not dare to procrastinate.

Holding a thick stack of letters in his arms, Shen Shuquan was moved to tears, his good brother saved him from fire and water several times, but he never paid back anything, why not make him feel ashamed?

Thinking of the people in the whole county, they didn't dare to delay, so they sorted out the prescriptions overnight, made decoctions and medicines, and used them on patients to test the feasible prescriptions.

Ten carts of medicinal materials are just a drop in the bucket for the entire county and town, but at the critical moment of human life, any medicine is better than no medicine.Supplemented by what the mentor said in the letter, given time, the epidemic will be temporarily suppressed within a controllable range.

The most important thing right now is to crack the epidemic. Even if the epidemic prevention is in place, it must be cured without increasing the number of patients. Otherwise, most of the people will be sick. Burned all the way.

Fortunately, three days later, among the patients who tested the medicine, one of them was obviously in better condition. Shen Shuyan didn't dare to delay, so he immediately asked the imperial court and the medical officer to develop it.

The Imperial Medical Office and the Shang Pharmacy Bureau received the appointment, studied all night, and finally adjusted the prescription, and sent the prescription to Yilai overnight.As for the collection of medicinal materials, it will take time, and it will take half a month at the earliest to be delivered.

The [-]-mile rush was enough to deliver the military information during the march. Shen Shuquan heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the prescription. With the prescription, there is no need to worry about the imperial court ordering the massacre of the city.

The ten carts of medicinal materials sent by Chen Qing had a great effect, and many patients with short-term illnesses were able to save their lives, while those patients who were blinded by the disease did not see any effect.As a last resort, Shen Shuquan could only abandon these people and focus on treating short-term patients with the disease.

With the means of treatment, the wandering epidemic patients returned to the city one after another, looking for a chance to survive. The government reduced its manpower, which also reduced worries about the future and devoted all its efforts to treating the patients.

By the time the herbs transported by the imperial court arrived in Yilai, most of the people in the county had already died, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain. The firewood used to burn the corpses filled up half of the mountain, but even so, it could not kill the people's desire for life.

Shen Shuquan wore a cloth scarf around his mouth, lit the firewood with his own hands, and watched the raging flames. Many people shed unwilling tears, and the cry shook the world.

So far, the epidemic in Yilai has been resolved, and the imperial court has accumulated a good prescription to fight the epidemic. Shen Shuquan has made great contributions under the rule and returned to Beijing to report on his work the next year.

No matter how great the achievement is, it can't wipe out the powerlessness in Shen Shuquan's heart. Thousands of people died, and the scorched smell from the burning of the corpses lingered in his nose, making him unable to eat, until three days later, he still smelled the smell of meat and vomited. , leaving a heart disease that cannot eat meat.
