Under the cold moonlight, Wu Yu held the bowl of mung bean soup in his hand with some difficulty, and pulled a stiff smile at Song.
"Sister Song, please."
Song smiled and nodded, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup in front of her, and took a few sips:
"Sister Wu can do whatever she wants, I don't have the habit of drinking mung bean soup as wine here, so I don't need to drink it all in one bowl."
Wu Yu smiled dryly, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup and took a sip, then looked at Song's slightly frowning side face and took a big sip alone.
Oh, I'm so supportive!
Song's eyebrows were drooping, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips. Seeing Wu Yu drinking soup like medicine, she couldn't hold it back, and the corners of her lips curved even more.
"Okay, Sister Wu must have drunk a lot just now, and now Sister Wu just sits here with me.
When Qinglian was packing up her things just now, I heard a servant in the mansion say that a strange disease seems to be spreading in Chuzhou Mansion, and I was... a little flustered. "
Hearing this, Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of guilt appeared on his face:
"It's my fault, I..."
Come, Sister Song is here to blame herself.Then, if Sister Song wants to leave, I will find a way to send her away.
Song Shi lightly held Wu Yu's hand that was as white as jade reflected by the moonlight:
"I didn't say this to make Sister Wu feel uncomfortable. If we go back and Sister Wu stays here alone, we won't be at ease either.
It's just that I always like to think wildly, and when I panic, I want to find someone to accompany me, so I will trouble Sister Wu tonight. "
"Don't bother, don't bother, I, I'm happy to be with Sister Song."
After hearing this, Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Shi didn't seem to notice Wu Yusong's tone, and only talked with Wu Yu with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
Sister Wu is young, and the little girl always likes to think about it.As a sister, she doesn't have much ability, the only thing that can help her is to let her do whatever she wants without any worries.
Wu Yu, who was relieved by Song's ignorance of the trace, waited until the moon was on the branch, and then yawned and waved his paw to bid farewell to Song.
It's just that although Wu Yu was sleepy, her whole person's spirit was different.When going out in the afternoon before, Wu Yu's steps were a little heavy, but now they are extraordinarily brisk!
The next day, Wu Yu went to the front early in the morning, ready to see those who were sick.
When Wu Yu arrived, Yinzhen and the prince were sitting beside him, one on the left and the other on the right, but all three of them were frowning, with ugly expressions on their faces.
Among them, the prince's face was the most ugly, so gloomy that water could drip out.After a long while of silence in the room, the prince slammed his fist on the coffee table:
"Okay! He Zhu'er took my master's seal and asked them to borrow medicine and food, but they all cried poorly for my master!"
Come on, it seems that the crown prince is not big enough.
Wu Yu muttered in his heart, and went straight in. Zhu Shi had ordered in advance, and no one dared to stop the servants.
He Zhu'er stood behind the prince with an extremely bitter expression on his face.Those people knew that they had just come from Chuzhou, and they were all frightened as if they were infected with some terrible disease, and they immediately asked the servants to take a broom to blow themselves out!
As the number one celebrity around the prince, He Zhu'er has never been treated so disrespectfully in the capital all these years.
"Perhaps, those people thought that the prince shouldn't be here, because someone else deceived them."
Yinzhen said slowly, he still had to take care of the prince's face outside, and the prince just snorted coldly after hearing this, but his expression was slightly relaxed:
"The matter of the envoy is of great importance. Huang Ama sent me here with the envoy to come here in secret. It's just...that group of people really blinded their eyes! When the master returns to the capital..."
Wu Yu walked in slowly through the door, the prince stopped talking, he didn't know how much Wu Yu had listened to just now, and now he looked at Wu Yu with a bit of embarrassment!
Wu Yu had already heard enough outside just now, but now she didn't see through the prince's barely maintained demeanor, she walked forward, found a chair at random and sat down.
"Master Zhu, may I ask how many medicinal materials are still available in the city?"
"The servant has carefully calculated that it can take about three days."
Hearing this, Wu Yu frowned.
Three days is really too little, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth to the capital.
Zhu said earlier that he had reported to Kangxi before they came, so even if they came, it would take at least ten days to hurry.
Ten days are not long, but you can't wait in the state.
Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be staring blankly here.
Wu Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a jade pendant from his sleeve:
"Master Zhu can take this jade pendant to the 'Jade Medicine Workshop' to dispatch the necessary medicinal materials."
If it wasn't for the urgent situation, she didn't want to take out this jade pendant.The beauty's business skills are good, and this "jade medicine shop" spread throughout the Qing Dynasty.
It's just that the money is not in vain.
However, no matter how precious money is, it is ultimately not more valuable than human life.
Zhu Shi glanced at Wu Yu in surprise, he didn't think what the woman in front of him said was a lie.
He also knows this Jade Pharmacy, usually only one word, expensive!But there is a reason why people are expensive. The medicinal materials in it are really good from the age to the maintenance methods.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it other than being expensive, but now the divine sense allows me to take a jade pendant to use the fortress inside at will. This is like throwing a big meat bun in front of a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights ah!
Zhu Shi immediately stretched out his hand trembling.
Yinzhen also glanced at Wu Yu strangely, as if he didn't quite understand what Wu Yu said.
What's the matter, this little Gege still has to hide his identity?
You must know that when Huang Ama gave Xiao Gege to herself, she was just the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate!
Now, first is the envoy, and then this mysterious jade pendant...
Yinzhen's expression was complicated for a while.
The prince didn't hold back either, he took a look at the texture of the jade pendant that Wu Yu took out, it was extraordinarily translucent and moist when held in his hand, with a greasy goose fat-like moistness, it would be worthy even as a tribute .
"Good jade."
Wu Yu lightly smiled and said:
"The crown prince is absurd! Master Zhu, take it quickly. When Chuzhou gets through the difficulties this time, remember to return it to me."
Zhu Shi took a deep breath, and then took the jade pendant from Wu Yu's hand and held it tightly in his hand, with an excited expression:
"Okay! Miss Dayi, I thank you on behalf of the people of Chuzhou!"
Wu Yu shook his head, waited for Zhu Shi to salute the prince and Yinzhen in a hurry, then left and ran away, Wu Yu then looked at Yinzhen.
"Master, I'm going to visit the patient who caused the disease first, do you want to go together?"
Yinzhen nodded slightly, he raised his eyes to the prince, and the prince's expression changed for a while, he also gritted his teeth and lifted his chin, and said very proudly:
"Grandpa is going too."
He Zhu'er had already made himself very embarrassed for his failure to do so before, and now he would not agree, as if he was afraid.
Wu Yu glanced at the prince, and gestured to Yinzhen with his eyes:
'Aren't you going to stop? '
Yinzhen pursed her lips:
"Prince..."
"Fourth, you don't need to say too much. If you are an envoy with any status, you dare to go and have a look. What are you afraid of?"
Wu Yu: ...
I can't afford to trust her!
However, the prince was determined to follow, and Wu Yu couldn't stop him.
"Okay, let's go see the patient first. But before that, Yun Xin—"
Wu Yu called Yun Xin, and she saw Yun Xin take out a small bundle.
"Please take precautions, both of you, so I can rest assured."
Yinzhen and the prince looked at it strangely. Among the things already in the bag, there were a few strange masks in their hands, which were still heavy.
When a small bottle was opened, there was a strong and pungent smell of wine.
There was also a small medical box, but it was tightly closed. Although the two were curious, they did not open it.
"This is a mask made of cloth, which can block some germs that you and I can't see with the naked eye, and can provide us with a certain degree of protection."
Wu Yu demonstrated how to put on the simple mask that he made himself. This mask is made of muslin cloth with a thin layer of charcoal powder mixed in it.
The muslin cloth is also disinfected with alcohol. Now the conditions are limited, and the mask can only do this.
Wu Yu gave an example, Yinzhen was not ambiguous, and immediately took a mask and put it on his face.
Only the prince looked at the simple and crude mask with disgust, it didn't even have any embroidery on it, it was really ugly!
The prince thought so and said so, Wu Yu couldn't help but give the prince a look:
"Prince, this is Chuzhou, where there is a great epidemic. If you are not afraid of death, you don't have to wear the ugly mask you are talking about."
"you!"
As soon as Wu Yu changed from this lazy look, she looked straight at the prince, the prince and Wu Yu looked at each other for a moment, and finally fell down by herself, flicking her sleeves:
"He Zhu'er, what are you still standing there for? Don't put it on for Grandpa!"
Wu Yu could see that the crown prince was spoiled too much by Kangxi, and he was used to doing things recklessly.Although he was hit now, the arrogance in his bones was still there.
For this kind of person, if you are softer than him, you will definitely be led by the nose.
However, once you show a strong side, the prince will also bow his head due to formality.
Putting on the mask, Wu Yu took out the alcohol he had prepared before and asked everyone to disinfect their hands, then got up and walked out the door.
Yinzhen has always been a representative who talks less and does less, but the crown prince is not like this. After walking a few steps, he asked Wu Yu strangely:
"You didn't want to see a patient, why did you go to the back house?"
Wu Yu is wearing a mask, her voice is not as crisp as before:
"Did the prince forget that there is a ready-made patient in the mansion?"
The prince choked, he really forgot about this.
When everyone arrived at the back room, they could hear a few faint wailings coming from there.
"Master, please wake up, woohoo, if you fall down, how will I survive as a concubine?!"
"Father..."
Everyone looked at each other, Wu Yu frowned:
"It seems that the prefect of Chuzhou is in a dire situation!"
"Then do you still want to go in?"
The prince has experienced death since he was born, so he hates death very much. Now he is standing outside the door with his brows frowned, his fists clenched tightly.
Yinzhen froze for a moment and patted the prince's shoulder lightly. The prince froze, but then shook Yinzhen's hand violently.
He doesn't need the comfort of the fourth child!
Wu Yu didn't care what happened to the two brothers, and stepped forward while talking:
"Of course I have to go. Now the doctors in the state have no clue. I need to see it with my own eyes."
While talking, Wu Yu lifted the hem of his clothes and walked in.
The moment the door was pushed open, the sunlight from outside made the prefect's wife stunned. Even the prefect of Chuzhou, who had already fainted on the bed, couldn't help squinting his eyes. The woman murmured:
"I'm really sick and confused, and I can still see someone stepping into this place..."
"Grandpa! You read that right! Yes, a girl broke in by mistake! Girl, hurry up, our master is sick with the disease, and those of us may catch it too! Don't give it to you, give it to you..."
Seeing Wu Yu walking in, the magistrate's wife hurriedly tried to persuade him, Wu Yu shook his head lightly:
"No, I didn't come here by mistake. I came here on purpose. I'm a doctor. I want to see the prefect's condition."
"Really... no, no, girl, you'd better go away, some of us have this kind of disease that can be passed on to others, and it can't be cured!"
At that moment, Wu Yu clearly saw the light of hope in the eyes of the magistrate's wife, but then it became dim again. It was a message of despair.
As soon as Mrs. Zhifu fell, the magistrate on the couch was also relieved. He squinted at Wu Yu and couldn't help crying:
"A young girl like you can appear here, but the imperial envoy also died in the line of duty? Chuzhou must be in chaos now. It's all my fault!"
The prefect of Chuzhou couldn't help coughing twice after finishing the call, but then he almost fell into dizziness again, as if he was holding his forehead and trying to fall down.
"Master Zhifu, don't worry, it was Master Zhu who asked me to come and have a look for you."
Just as Wu Yu was talking, the prince and Yinzhen from outside also came in one after the other.
Wu Yu didn't care about the two of them, so he wanted to go forward to feel the pulse of the magistrate.Madam Zhifu froze for a moment, her eyes were full of bewilderment, but her body reacted much faster than her brain. When she hurriedly stood up, she stood aside with her hands tied, looking at Wu Yu anxiously but awkwardly:
"Yuan, it turned out that the imperial envoy sent the girl here! Let the girl come and take a look, is there a cure for this disease out there? Please save our lord!"
Wu Yu pursed her lips, but did not answer directly:
"I'll take a look at it first."
"Okay, please, please..."
The magistrate's wife said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Wu Yu glanced at it, couldn't hold back and said:
"Madam, please don't wipe your eyes with the veil lightly. I see that Madam is still very angry when she speaks. Although her face is tired, she is not sick. I think Madam has never been infected.
Now that the magistrate is in such a situation, Madam should really cherish herself. "
Although the magistrate's wife didn't understand the meaning of Wu Yu's words, she knew that she was right in listening to the doctor in this situation, so she nodded her head grumpily.
"okay, I get it."
Seeing that the magistrate's wife listened to the persuasion, Wu Yu stepped forward to diagnose the magistrate's pulse.
But before Wu Yu sat down on the couch, the prince coughed lightly and cast a glance at Yinzhen:
"Fourth, this is also from your mansion after all, can you just look at it like this?"
Although the prince had a big dream when he was confined in Yuqing Palace, he dreamed about his own ending, but after half a month's journey, the prince did not really experience the pain in the dream, and he regained his old temper .
He also knew Huang Ama's intention for letting him come here, but this did not prevent him from wanting to see the scene where his fourth brother, the person who picked his own fruit, changed his face.
Yin Zhen pursed her lips:
"Although men's and women's defense is important, but now that human life is at stake, men's and women's defense is not as strong as heaven."
After hearing Yinzhen's answer, the prince stopped talking, but cast his eyes on Yinzhen and Wu Yu, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
What the fourth child said was beautiful, but which man would not mind his woman touching other men?
"If the prince still wants to stay here, please be careful with your words and deeds."
Wu Yu hadn't said a word because of the prince's various provocations before, but when she got here, there was finally a icy coldness in her tone.
"you!"
The prince stared at Wu Yu with a pair of eyes, and the emotions in those eyes were extremely complicated.
Could it be that this woman is stupid, if she didn't directly expose the matter, how could she make the fourth child promise to not care about it?
If there is no promise from the fourth brother on the surface, then if the fourth brother turns up with him in the future... Tsk!
The prince who was kindly regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs was standing aside with his chest crossed and grumbling, he wanted to see how this woman would end up.
But after Wu Yu said this, she didn't even look at Yinzhen, she just lowered her eyes, and put her slender hand on the prefect's wrist.
The magistrate is now in his 40s, but it is also the time when a man is in the prime of life. Although he is suffering from illness these days, he still has a lot of energy to hold on.
Wu Yu closed her eyes slightly, perceiving carefully, Yinzhen was standing not far away, watching the prince's mouth let out a vague grin from time to time, making Yinzhen's lips pursed into a straight line, pursed even more tighter.
At this moment, Zhifu and Zhifu's wife were still in a daze. After a while, Zhifu's wife finally regained her senses. She looked at the two men behind Wu Yu with trembling lips.
"Too, prince!"
"Silence!"
The prince frowned, and put his eyes on Wu Yu's body, the magistrate's wife hurriedly covered her mouth, but knelt down with a plop.She opened her eyes wide and looked at the two people in front of her, her expression was enough to be described as horror.
Although she doesn't know the situation in Chuzhou now, but there is no way to solve the epidemic in Chuzhou before, why did the prince come to Chuzhou?
Zhu Shi outside, isn't he afraid of being blamed by the emperor? !
But on the other hand, it's also a good thing.
Now that the prince has come to Chengzhong, are you afraid that the epidemic in the city will not be resolved?
The emperor's love for the crown prince is well known throughout the country!
Thinking so, the magistrate's wife gradually clenched her hand holding the handkerchief, and she only hoped that the master could last until the emperor sent the imperial physician.
The reason why Madam Zhifu thinks this way is because she doesn't believe in Wu Yu.
The little girl in front of her who said she was a doctor came here because of Zhu Shi's words, but just looking at the identities of the two men behind her, she knew that she might come here because of her status. After all, such a young girl How much real medical skills do you have?
Compared with Wu Yu, the status of the prince made the magistrate's wife feel reassured.
Just when the prefect's wife was thinking wildly, Wu Yu finally opened her eyes. She couldn't help but frowned as she thought about the pulse that she had just taken out.
"It's weird..."
The prefect's face was pale, it was obviously summer, the house had never been iced, and the prefect was covered with a blanket, but he was shaking.
Even the pulse that came out was extremely strange, mixed with truth and reality, which made people puzzled for a moment.
After Wu Yu moved his hand, Zhi Fu stiffened and was about to sit up.
"The slave is for the prince, fourth master..."
"What are you still fussing about in your illness, lie down!"
Wu Yu watched the magistrate's struggle, sweat dripped from his face like slurry, and even the hands and feet trembling when he got up.
"Impossible, the rules..."
Wu Yu raised his eyes to Yinzhen, but then turned his eyes to the prince, signaling to the prince what to say.And the prince lived up to Wu Yu's expectations:
"You are so sick that you are about to die, what rules are you telling me here? Just lie down with peace of mind, and don't listen to what the angel said, just do what she tells you!"
The magistrate was already struggling to get up, but he froze when he heard what the prince said. He glanced at Wu Yu who was sitting beside him, dumbfounded:
"God, envoy?"
"Of course! The envoy once caused a strange rain to fall in the capital, and Huang Ama's people saw it with his own eyes! Now that he heard about Xuanping Dahan, he specially invited the envoy here to restore some losses for the people. It happened again in the state."
The magistrate lay back down slowly. Hearing what the prince said, he couldn't help feeling ashamed:
"It's the slave's fault, it's all the slave's oversight!"
"Of course it's your fault! The magistrate of a majestic state didn't even know that such a big thing happened under his nose!
When you saw the imperial envoy coming, you took advantage of your illness and handed over everything. I want to buy an imperial envoy, so that your guilt will be reduced by a few points? "
Although the prince had a strange temperament, he quickly pointed out the magistrate's careful thoughts, so that the magistrate could not lie down, sit up, or get up, and his whole body was frozen on the bed like a piece of wood.
"Slave, slave..."
"Shut up, you! God told you to see if you have seen it all. Should we go?"
Wearing this mask is really uncomfortable, and even talking has lost his usual dignity.
"Not urgent."
Wu Yu looked at the magistrate lying on the hospital bed, and always felt that there was something wrong with him.
The magistrate's wife didn't dare to say anything because of the prince's words just now, she just lowered her head and said:
"Since the envoy will stay here for a while, then, let me make some tea for you..."
The magistrate's wife doesn't know what is not a divine envoy, but there is a prince who endorses this girl, so she can't help but not believe it.
Although no one spoke, the magistrate's wife didn't hesitate much, so she got up and went out to make tea herself.
She has a deep relationship with the magistrate and his wife, and now only two of them live in the back room, and they don't even bring the servants with them.
Not long after, the magistrate's wife brought the brewed tea and made a cup for everyone, but neither the crown prince nor Yinzhen wanted to move.
At this moment, they still remembered that the masks that Wu Yu told them before had a certain degree of protection for them, so although they disliked the smell of charcoal powder, they were unwilling to take it off.
Wu Yu pursed her lips in thought for a moment, then glanced at a magistrate with chapped lips:
"Master Zhifu must be thirsty, madam should take care of Mr. Prefect first."
The magistrate's wife looked at the magistrate when she heard the words, and she saw the magistrate swallowing unconsciously, and quickly poured a bowl of tea over.
The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it, Gudu Gudu drank up a bowl of tea.Then he gestured to the prefect's wife with his eyes to pour another bowl for him. Wu Yu stared at the prefect, watching him drink four bowls of tea before giving up.
"Do you feel any discomfort in the prefect?"
As soon as Wu Yu asked this question, the magistrate shook his head blankly:
"A few days ago, my wife said that the servant's body was a little hot, but these days it looks a little better! It's just that I can't help drinking more tea for daily use, it's not a big problem."
"Why is it not a serious problem? Today, the master almost fainted, almost scared the concubine's heart out!"
"Why is it so serious? Women are always timid!"
Although the magistrate had a bit of blame, but it didn't mean to blame Mrs. Zhifu, after all, a friend in adversity sees the truth.
When he was about to shut himself up in the back room before, only the prefect's wife obviously had no symptoms of the disease, but she still accompanied the prefect personally.
The big mask covered Wu Yu's small cheeks, only revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes.At this moment, for the first time, her peach blossom eyes are not as hazy and beautiful as before, and there is a light of thinking in them.
"Madam is also concerned about it, so don't blame Madam. Since Madam Zhifu feels that everything is fine, let's do it today. I will go to see other patients."
"You, please! This slave sends the envoy, and the fourth prince!"
In the conversation just now, the magistrate could see who was really talking.It's just that he still doesn't understand what the prince and fourth master said before the envoy felt his pulse.
After leaving the back room, Wu Yu paused outside the room and asked Yun Xin to pour alcohol on her hands to disinfect.
The prince couldn't hold back the pungent smell, and frowned.Seeing Wu Yu's skillful movements, Yinzhen opened his mouth to ask why, but he thought that Little Gege had only been in his house for a few months now, so he really didn't know much about it.
Therefore, ever since Little Gege became an envoy of God, the distance between them has been widened.
Yinzhen fell silent after thinking about it, but the prince beside him was unwilling to be lonely. Seeing Wu Yu rubbing his hands while walking, he couldn't help asking:
"What a girl, why did you suddenly use wine to wash your hands? The smell can be smelled from far away, and they use strong wine! Even if you want to imitate other people's arty, you should use something like pear flower white, sake, etc. It is!"
Wu Yu wanted to roll her eyes again, but seeing that although the prince has a poisonous tongue, his identity is still very useful, so she patiently explained:
"This is alcohol, which is used for disinfection and sterilization."
"Disinfection? Sterilization?"
Wu Yu nodded:
"The prince has been in the palace for a long time, and he should have seen those palace people who have been tortured. After being tortured, they often develop a high fever. If the high fever can survive, one life can be left. If not, then there is no gone."
The prince thought about it carefully, and found that it was not much different from what Wu Yu said, so he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it seems to be what the envoy said. Is there any connection between this?"
"Naturally, the reason for their high fever is that the wound is not sterilized. If you wash the wound with alcohol, you can reduce the occurrence of such complications."
The prince reluctantly agreed with Wu Yu's explanation, but after hearing Wu Yu's words, Yinzhen seemed to think of something, and opened his eyes wide:
"Since this alcohol has such a miraculous effect of disinfection and sterilization, wouldn't it be even more miraculous if it were used on the soldiers who fought in battle?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but... this alcohol is not easy to make!"
There are three ways to make alcohol, one is distillation and purification of alcohol formed after fermentation of cereal starches, the other is ethylene hydration, and the last is coal chemical method. ①
According to the existing technological level, only the first method can be produced in the wine.However, now that productivity is underdeveloped, how much grain does it take to form such a small bottle of alcohol?
The current imperial court is not very rich.
After Wu Yu told Yinzhen how he made this small bottle of alcohol, Yinzhen couldn't help being silent after calculating how much food the wine consumed in his heart.
You must know that in a disaster year, a stone of grain can exchange a child.
A life is actually quite cheap.
Seeing Yinzhen's silence after listening to his words, Wu Yu hooked the corners of his lips under the mask ironically.
The superior is so cruel.
However, Wu Yu didn't want to continue talking about this topic any longer, and the group walked from the back room to the second courtyard.When Wu Yu walked to the second courtyard, he was still walking forward with his head sullen, but was stopped by the prince.
"Where are we going?"
Wu Yu didn't stop, she just glanced at the prince:
"Could it be that the prince thought that the only patient was the magistrate? What's more, what is a major epidemic in Chuzhou? It's a disease that spreads between each other! The doctors in Chuzhou don't have a clue, so I have to see the symptoms of other people to find out. thoughts."
"No rest? It's almost time for lunch."
Wu Yu patted the purse on his waist:
"Forgot what you two said, bring your own dry food! If it's too late, you two don't have to follow."
Anyway, all of the people he went out to meet now were ordinary people, the prince, so this status was dispensable.
Prince: …
Yinzhen:……
“何柱儿!”
"Su Peisheng."
When the prince and Yinzhen looked at each other, an awkward atmosphere spread between them.
Wu Yu is not in the mood to care about their eyebrows and eye lawsuits at the moment, and walks straight to the door. These days, the evil spirit has become more and more intrusive to her, and she doesn't know how long she can suppress it.
She didn't want to go out vertically and come back horizontally.
Of course, a quick fix is best!
only……
It's so hard to be a human being!
She really wanted to be salty fish like before, but now that a living human life is in front of her, she can't just sit idly by.Wu Yu sighed uncontrollably, then walked out sullenly.
After leaving the government office, it was as quiet as if the whole Chuzhou city was an empty city.
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, and Yinzhen followed from behind:
"At this time, it should be the time when the people of Chuzhou line up at the west gate to get porridge."
"Are those sick people also at the west gate?"
Yin Zhen shook his head lightly:
"They, they are at home."
However, judging from the state of people's fear of the disease, they are just waiting to die quietly at home.
Wu Yu heard the subtext, she opened her black and white eyes and asked Yin Zhen:
"What if I want to see those patients?"
Yinzhen looked at Wu Yu's eyes that were full of smile and laziness in the past, but now they are full of seriousness and persistence.
He believed that even if he didn't tell Wu Yu, the woman in front of him would knock on doors from door to door to inquire.
"You come with me."
Yinzhen said something in a low voice, and then took Wu Yu to walk in another direction, while the prince behind him hurriedly chased him out.
"Wait a minute! That bastard, He Zhu'er, is not good at running errands, and he can't even match Su Peisheng's neat movements!"
Yinzhen took Wu Yu to the northernmost house that was completely deserted.
The deployment of each city has its own particularities, and the one that remains unchanged is the arrangement of the rich in the east and the rich in the west, and the poor in the south and the humble in the north.
Although the house in the north looked big, it was actually already dilapidated, but at this moment there were a few wisps of cooking smoke floating into the air.
"Brother Gouzi, hurry up, drink more, there is no food in the stomach, how is this disease cured?"
"I, I won't drink anymore. If I drink too much, I will drown. I can move back and forth. I don't have the strength!"
Wang Gouzi swallowed while talking, in front of him was a bowl of clear porridge water that could reflect his face, even the scattered rice grains in it were already one of the few surplus food they had here.
All of them were kicked out by their families after they got sick.
It's just that some people's families still have a bit of conscience, while others are different.Later, these sick people gathered together in this big mansion for some reason.
They supported each other, and lived with difficulty on the scraps of food they brought out.
"Brother Xiaogouzi, what are you talking about? If you want to drown, I'll take you there! Come on, drink it quickly! If you don't drink it, you will feel tired and your stomach will burn!"
Wang Gouzi shook his head:
"Stupid boy, Brother Bin was like me before he died. I can't survive. I don't have much rations. Let's share this bowl of porridge with some small ones!"
They are all sick people, they are all poor people, and they are all poor people who want to make a living.
But in the face of reality, they finally decided to give up the hope of more lives to others.
Wu Yu stood outside the dilapidated house, watching the scene in front of him, frowning slightly.
Obviously, obviously, that person named Wang Gouzi has set his eyes on the bowl of porridge in front of him several times, his eyes are so longing, but why did he give up the bowl of porridge to others?
Isn't everyone paying attention to death and being a full-fledged ghost now?
Wang Gouzi smiled and watched several half-grown children scrambling for it. You poured the bowl of clear porridge into your stomach one mouthful at a time.
"Okay, you guys, stop robbing! Fewer and fewer people come to our place these days, which shows that the government has made some efforts!
Maybe, when will the imperial physician sent by the imperial court come!Hey, the imperial doctor is the one who treats the emperor, and he will treat us when the time comes!
When your mother recovers from her illness, she must get you a bowl of sticky rice porridge!
Red peas, yellow rice, put two jujubes to nourish the body, sweet and glutinous, not to mention how fragrant it is! "
It's a pity that I can't wait.
Wang Gouzi drew big cakes for the little ones, and as expected, the little ones who were fighting for him immediately became more disciplined, and the youngest one blinked clear eyes:
"Uncle Wang, can our illness really be cured?"
"Yes, definitely! The imperial court will not ignore us! Maybe, maybe the imperial physician will come tomorrow!"
"Hey! Uncle, you run outside all day long, and you are a well-informed book. I believe everything you say!"
……
Wu Yu listened quietly outside.But the expression on his face became more and more bewildered.
She has been doted on by her parents in this life, and she has never encountered too difficult a thing.Because of this, after she became an adult, the catastrophe that really belonged to her officially began.
She understood protection from Fujin before, but now she seems to understand something else from this group of people suffering from illness.
What is the human race?
Don't be intimidated when disaster strikes.
Illness is not self-sufficient!
They have an optimism that even gods and beasts admire;
They have the tenacity that even the heavens shed tears for.
They are like weeds that grow again when the wind blows.
Wu Yu looked up at the sky, she stretched out her hand, her palm was moist.
It's raining.

The author has something to say:
Correcting the typo made me fall asleep... [cover face]
①From Baidu~
"Sister Song, please."
Song smiled and nodded, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup in front of her, and took a few sips:
"Sister Wu can do whatever she wants, I don't have the habit of drinking mung bean soup as wine here, so I don't need to drink it all in one bowl."
Wu Yu smiled dryly, picked up the bowl of mung bean soup and took a sip, then looked at Song's slightly frowning side face and took a big sip alone.
Oh, I'm so supportive!
Song's eyebrows were drooping, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips. Seeing Wu Yu drinking soup like medicine, she couldn't hold it back, and the corners of her lips curved even more.
"Okay, Sister Wu must have drunk a lot just now, and now Sister Wu just sits here with me.
When Qinglian was packing up her things just now, I heard a servant in the mansion say that a strange disease seems to be spreading in Chuzhou Mansion, and I was... a little flustered. "
Hearing this, Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of guilt appeared on his face:
"It's my fault, I..."
Come, Sister Song is here to blame herself.Then, if Sister Song wants to leave, I will find a way to send her away.
Song Shi lightly held Wu Yu's hand that was as white as jade reflected by the moonlight:
"I didn't say this to make Sister Wu feel uncomfortable. If we go back and Sister Wu stays here alone, we won't be at ease either.
It's just that I always like to think wildly, and when I panic, I want to find someone to accompany me, so I will trouble Sister Wu tonight. "
"Don't bother, don't bother, I, I'm happy to be with Sister Song."
After hearing this, Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Shi didn't seem to notice Wu Yusong's tone, and only talked with Wu Yu with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.
Sister Wu is young, and the little girl always likes to think about it.As a sister, she doesn't have much ability, the only thing that can help her is to let her do whatever she wants without any worries.
Wu Yu, who was relieved by Song's ignorance of the trace, waited until the moon was on the branch, and then yawned and waved his paw to bid farewell to Song.
It's just that although Wu Yu was sleepy, her whole person's spirit was different.When going out in the afternoon before, Wu Yu's steps were a little heavy, but now they are extraordinarily brisk!
The next day, Wu Yu went to the front early in the morning, ready to see those who were sick.
When Wu Yu arrived, Yinzhen and the prince were sitting beside him, one on the left and the other on the right, but all three of them were frowning, with ugly expressions on their faces.
Among them, the prince's face was the most ugly, so gloomy that water could drip out.After a long while of silence in the room, the prince slammed his fist on the coffee table:
"Okay! He Zhu'er took my master's seal and asked them to borrow medicine and food, but they all cried poorly for my master!"
Come on, it seems that the crown prince is not big enough.
Wu Yu muttered in his heart, and went straight in. Zhu Shi had ordered in advance, and no one dared to stop the servants.
He Zhu'er stood behind the prince with an extremely bitter expression on his face.Those people knew that they had just come from Chuzhou, and they were all frightened as if they were infected with some terrible disease, and they immediately asked the servants to take a broom to blow themselves out!
As the number one celebrity around the prince, He Zhu'er has never been treated so disrespectfully in the capital all these years.
"Perhaps, those people thought that the prince shouldn't be here, because someone else deceived them."
Yinzhen said slowly, he still had to take care of the prince's face outside, and the prince just snorted coldly after hearing this, but his expression was slightly relaxed:
"The matter of the envoy is of great importance. Huang Ama sent me here with the envoy to come here in secret. It's just...that group of people really blinded their eyes! When the master returns to the capital..."
Wu Yu walked in slowly through the door, the prince stopped talking, he didn't know how much Wu Yu had listened to just now, and now he looked at Wu Yu with a bit of embarrassment!
Wu Yu had already heard enough outside just now, but now she didn't see through the prince's barely maintained demeanor, she walked forward, found a chair at random and sat down.
"Master Zhu, may I ask how many medicinal materials are still available in the city?"
"The servant has carefully calculated that it can take about three days."
Hearing this, Wu Yu frowned.
Three days is really too little, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth to the capital.
Zhu said earlier that he had reported to Kangxi before they came, so even if they came, it would take at least ten days to hurry.
Ten days are not long, but you can't wait in the state.
Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be staring blankly here.
Wu Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a jade pendant from his sleeve:
"Master Zhu can take this jade pendant to the 'Jade Medicine Workshop' to dispatch the necessary medicinal materials."
If it wasn't for the urgent situation, she didn't want to take out this jade pendant.The beauty's business skills are good, and this "jade medicine shop" spread throughout the Qing Dynasty.
It's just that the money is not in vain.
However, no matter how precious money is, it is ultimately not more valuable than human life.
Zhu Shi glanced at Wu Yu in surprise, he didn't think what the woman in front of him said was a lie.
He also knows this Jade Pharmacy, usually only one word, expensive!But there is a reason why people are expensive. The medicinal materials in it are really good from the age to the maintenance methods.
It can be said that there is nothing wrong with it other than being expensive, but now the divine sense allows me to take a jade pendant to use the fortress inside at will. This is like throwing a big meat bun in front of a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights ah!
Zhu Shi immediately stretched out his hand trembling.
Yinzhen also glanced at Wu Yu strangely, as if he didn't quite understand what Wu Yu said.
What's the matter, this little Gege still has to hide his identity?
You must know that when Huang Ama gave Xiao Gege to herself, she was just the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate!
Now, first is the envoy, and then this mysterious jade pendant...
Yinzhen's expression was complicated for a while.
The prince didn't hold back either, he took a look at the texture of the jade pendant that Wu Yu took out, it was extraordinarily translucent and moist when held in his hand, with a greasy goose fat-like moistness, it would be worthy even as a tribute .
"Good jade."
Wu Yu lightly smiled and said:
"The crown prince is absurd! Master Zhu, take it quickly. When Chuzhou gets through the difficulties this time, remember to return it to me."
Zhu Shi took a deep breath, and then took the jade pendant from Wu Yu's hand and held it tightly in his hand, with an excited expression:
"Okay! Miss Dayi, I thank you on behalf of the people of Chuzhou!"
Wu Yu shook his head, waited for Zhu Shi to salute the prince and Yinzhen in a hurry, then left and ran away, Wu Yu then looked at Yinzhen.
"Master, I'm going to visit the patient who caused the disease first, do you want to go together?"
Yinzhen nodded slightly, he raised his eyes to the prince, and the prince's expression changed for a while, he also gritted his teeth and lifted his chin, and said very proudly:
"Grandpa is going too."
He Zhu'er had already made himself very embarrassed for his failure to do so before, and now he would not agree, as if he was afraid.
Wu Yu glanced at the prince, and gestured to Yinzhen with his eyes:
'Aren't you going to stop? '
Yinzhen pursed her lips:
"Prince..."
"Fourth, you don't need to say too much. If you are an envoy with any status, you dare to go and have a look. What are you afraid of?"
Wu Yu: ...
I can't afford to trust her!
However, the prince was determined to follow, and Wu Yu couldn't stop him.
"Okay, let's go see the patient first. But before that, Yun Xin—"
Wu Yu called Yun Xin, and she saw Yun Xin take out a small bundle.
"Please take precautions, both of you, so I can rest assured."
Yinzhen and the prince looked at it strangely. Among the things already in the bag, there were a few strange masks in their hands, which were still heavy.
When a small bottle was opened, there was a strong and pungent smell of wine.
There was also a small medical box, but it was tightly closed. Although the two were curious, they did not open it.
"This is a mask made of cloth, which can block some germs that you and I can't see with the naked eye, and can provide us with a certain degree of protection."
Wu Yu demonstrated how to put on the simple mask that he made himself. This mask is made of muslin cloth with a thin layer of charcoal powder mixed in it.
The muslin cloth is also disinfected with alcohol. Now the conditions are limited, and the mask can only do this.
Wu Yu gave an example, Yinzhen was not ambiguous, and immediately took a mask and put it on his face.
Only the prince looked at the simple and crude mask with disgust, it didn't even have any embroidery on it, it was really ugly!
The prince thought so and said so, Wu Yu couldn't help but give the prince a look:
"Prince, this is Chuzhou, where there is a great epidemic. If you are not afraid of death, you don't have to wear the ugly mask you are talking about."
"you!"
As soon as Wu Yu changed from this lazy look, she looked straight at the prince, the prince and Wu Yu looked at each other for a moment, and finally fell down by herself, flicking her sleeves:
"He Zhu'er, what are you still standing there for? Don't put it on for Grandpa!"
Wu Yu could see that the crown prince was spoiled too much by Kangxi, and he was used to doing things recklessly.Although he was hit now, the arrogance in his bones was still there.
For this kind of person, if you are softer than him, you will definitely be led by the nose.
However, once you show a strong side, the prince will also bow his head due to formality.
Putting on the mask, Wu Yu took out the alcohol he had prepared before and asked everyone to disinfect their hands, then got up and walked out the door.
Yinzhen has always been a representative who talks less and does less, but the crown prince is not like this. After walking a few steps, he asked Wu Yu strangely:
"You didn't want to see a patient, why did you go to the back house?"
Wu Yu is wearing a mask, her voice is not as crisp as before:
"Did the prince forget that there is a ready-made patient in the mansion?"
The prince choked, he really forgot about this.
When everyone arrived at the back room, they could hear a few faint wailings coming from there.
"Master, please wake up, woohoo, if you fall down, how will I survive as a concubine?!"
"Father..."
Everyone looked at each other, Wu Yu frowned:
"It seems that the prefect of Chuzhou is in a dire situation!"
"Then do you still want to go in?"
The prince has experienced death since he was born, so he hates death very much. Now he is standing outside the door with his brows frowned, his fists clenched tightly.
Yinzhen froze for a moment and patted the prince's shoulder lightly. The prince froze, but then shook Yinzhen's hand violently.
He doesn't need the comfort of the fourth child!
Wu Yu didn't care what happened to the two brothers, and stepped forward while talking:
"Of course I have to go. Now the doctors in the state have no clue. I need to see it with my own eyes."
While talking, Wu Yu lifted the hem of his clothes and walked in.
The moment the door was pushed open, the sunlight from outside made the prefect's wife stunned. Even the prefect of Chuzhou, who had already fainted on the bed, couldn't help squinting his eyes. The woman murmured:
"I'm really sick and confused, and I can still see someone stepping into this place..."
"Grandpa! You read that right! Yes, a girl broke in by mistake! Girl, hurry up, our master is sick with the disease, and those of us may catch it too! Don't give it to you, give it to you..."
Seeing Wu Yu walking in, the magistrate's wife hurriedly tried to persuade him, Wu Yu shook his head lightly:
"No, I didn't come here by mistake. I came here on purpose. I'm a doctor. I want to see the prefect's condition."
"Really... no, no, girl, you'd better go away, some of us have this kind of disease that can be passed on to others, and it can't be cured!"
At that moment, Wu Yu clearly saw the light of hope in the eyes of the magistrate's wife, but then it became dim again. It was a message of despair.
As soon as Mrs. Zhifu fell, the magistrate on the couch was also relieved. He squinted at Wu Yu and couldn't help crying:
"A young girl like you can appear here, but the imperial envoy also died in the line of duty? Chuzhou must be in chaos now. It's all my fault!"
The prefect of Chuzhou couldn't help coughing twice after finishing the call, but then he almost fell into dizziness again, as if he was holding his forehead and trying to fall down.
"Master Zhifu, don't worry, it was Master Zhu who asked me to come and have a look for you."
Just as Wu Yu was talking, the prince and Yinzhen from outside also came in one after the other.
Wu Yu didn't care about the two of them, so he wanted to go forward to feel the pulse of the magistrate.Madam Zhifu froze for a moment, her eyes were full of bewilderment, but her body reacted much faster than her brain. When she hurriedly stood up, she stood aside with her hands tied, looking at Wu Yu anxiously but awkwardly:
"Yuan, it turned out that the imperial envoy sent the girl here! Let the girl come and take a look, is there a cure for this disease out there? Please save our lord!"
Wu Yu pursed her lips, but did not answer directly:
"I'll take a look at it first."
"Okay, please, please..."
The magistrate's wife said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Wu Yu glanced at it, couldn't hold back and said:
"Madam, please don't wipe your eyes with the veil lightly. I see that Madam is still very angry when she speaks. Although her face is tired, she is not sick. I think Madam has never been infected.
Now that the magistrate is in such a situation, Madam should really cherish herself. "
Although the magistrate's wife didn't understand the meaning of Wu Yu's words, she knew that she was right in listening to the doctor in this situation, so she nodded her head grumpily.
"okay, I get it."
Seeing that the magistrate's wife listened to the persuasion, Wu Yu stepped forward to diagnose the magistrate's pulse.
But before Wu Yu sat down on the couch, the prince coughed lightly and cast a glance at Yinzhen:
"Fourth, this is also from your mansion after all, can you just look at it like this?"
Although the prince had a big dream when he was confined in Yuqing Palace, he dreamed about his own ending, but after half a month's journey, the prince did not really experience the pain in the dream, and he regained his old temper .
He also knew Huang Ama's intention for letting him come here, but this did not prevent him from wanting to see the scene where his fourth brother, the person who picked his own fruit, changed his face.
Yin Zhen pursed her lips:
"Although men's and women's defense is important, but now that human life is at stake, men's and women's defense is not as strong as heaven."
After hearing Yinzhen's answer, the prince stopped talking, but cast his eyes on Yinzhen and Wu Yu, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
What the fourth child said was beautiful, but which man would not mind his woman touching other men?
"If the prince still wants to stay here, please be careful with your words and deeds."
Wu Yu hadn't said a word because of the prince's various provocations before, but when she got here, there was finally a icy coldness in her tone.
"you!"
The prince stared at Wu Yu with a pair of eyes, and the emotions in those eyes were extremely complicated.
Could it be that this woman is stupid, if she didn't directly expose the matter, how could she make the fourth child promise to not care about it?
If there is no promise from the fourth brother on the surface, then if the fourth brother turns up with him in the future... Tsk!
The prince who was kindly regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs was standing aside with his chest crossed and grumbling, he wanted to see how this woman would end up.
But after Wu Yu said this, she didn't even look at Yinzhen, she just lowered her eyes, and put her slender hand on the prefect's wrist.
The magistrate is now in his 40s, but it is also the time when a man is in the prime of life. Although he is suffering from illness these days, he still has a lot of energy to hold on.
Wu Yu closed her eyes slightly, perceiving carefully, Yinzhen was standing not far away, watching the prince's mouth let out a vague grin from time to time, making Yinzhen's lips pursed into a straight line, pursed even more tighter.
At this moment, Zhifu and Zhifu's wife were still in a daze. After a while, Zhifu's wife finally regained her senses. She looked at the two men behind Wu Yu with trembling lips.
"Too, prince!"
"Silence!"
The prince frowned, and put his eyes on Wu Yu's body, the magistrate's wife hurriedly covered her mouth, but knelt down with a plop.She opened her eyes wide and looked at the two people in front of her, her expression was enough to be described as horror.
Although she doesn't know the situation in Chuzhou now, but there is no way to solve the epidemic in Chuzhou before, why did the prince come to Chuzhou?
Zhu Shi outside, isn't he afraid of being blamed by the emperor? !
But on the other hand, it's also a good thing.
Now that the prince has come to Chengzhong, are you afraid that the epidemic in the city will not be resolved?
The emperor's love for the crown prince is well known throughout the country!
Thinking so, the magistrate's wife gradually clenched her hand holding the handkerchief, and she only hoped that the master could last until the emperor sent the imperial physician.
The reason why Madam Zhifu thinks this way is because she doesn't believe in Wu Yu.
The little girl in front of her who said she was a doctor came here because of Zhu Shi's words, but just looking at the identities of the two men behind her, she knew that she might come here because of her status. After all, such a young girl How much real medical skills do you have?
Compared with Wu Yu, the status of the prince made the magistrate's wife feel reassured.
Just when the prefect's wife was thinking wildly, Wu Yu finally opened her eyes. She couldn't help but frowned as she thought about the pulse that she had just taken out.
"It's weird..."
The prefect's face was pale, it was obviously summer, the house had never been iced, and the prefect was covered with a blanket, but he was shaking.
Even the pulse that came out was extremely strange, mixed with truth and reality, which made people puzzled for a moment.
After Wu Yu moved his hand, Zhi Fu stiffened and was about to sit up.
"The slave is for the prince, fourth master..."
"What are you still fussing about in your illness, lie down!"
Wu Yu watched the magistrate's struggle, sweat dripped from his face like slurry, and even the hands and feet trembling when he got up.
"Impossible, the rules..."
Wu Yu raised his eyes to Yinzhen, but then turned his eyes to the prince, signaling to the prince what to say.And the prince lived up to Wu Yu's expectations:
"You are so sick that you are about to die, what rules are you telling me here? Just lie down with peace of mind, and don't listen to what the angel said, just do what she tells you!"
The magistrate was already struggling to get up, but he froze when he heard what the prince said. He glanced at Wu Yu who was sitting beside him, dumbfounded:
"God, envoy?"
"Of course! The envoy once caused a strange rain to fall in the capital, and Huang Ama's people saw it with his own eyes! Now that he heard about Xuanping Dahan, he specially invited the envoy here to restore some losses for the people. It happened again in the state."
The magistrate lay back down slowly. Hearing what the prince said, he couldn't help feeling ashamed:
"It's the slave's fault, it's all the slave's oversight!"
"Of course it's your fault! The magistrate of a majestic state didn't even know that such a big thing happened under his nose!
When you saw the imperial envoy coming, you took advantage of your illness and handed over everything. I want to buy an imperial envoy, so that your guilt will be reduced by a few points? "
Although the prince had a strange temperament, he quickly pointed out the magistrate's careful thoughts, so that the magistrate could not lie down, sit up, or get up, and his whole body was frozen on the bed like a piece of wood.
"Slave, slave..."
"Shut up, you! God told you to see if you have seen it all. Should we go?"
Wearing this mask is really uncomfortable, and even talking has lost his usual dignity.
"Not urgent."
Wu Yu looked at the magistrate lying on the hospital bed, and always felt that there was something wrong with him.
The magistrate's wife didn't dare to say anything because of the prince's words just now, she just lowered her head and said:
"Since the envoy will stay here for a while, then, let me make some tea for you..."
The magistrate's wife doesn't know what is not a divine envoy, but there is a prince who endorses this girl, so she can't help but not believe it.
Although no one spoke, the magistrate's wife didn't hesitate much, so she got up and went out to make tea herself.
She has a deep relationship with the magistrate and his wife, and now only two of them live in the back room, and they don't even bring the servants with them.
Not long after, the magistrate's wife brought the brewed tea and made a cup for everyone, but neither the crown prince nor Yinzhen wanted to move.
At this moment, they still remembered that the masks that Wu Yu told them before had a certain degree of protection for them, so although they disliked the smell of charcoal powder, they were unwilling to take it off.
Wu Yu pursed her lips in thought for a moment, then glanced at a magistrate with chapped lips:
"Master Zhifu must be thirsty, madam should take care of Mr. Prefect first."
The magistrate's wife looked at the magistrate when she heard the words, and she saw the magistrate swallowing unconsciously, and quickly poured a bowl of tea over.
The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it, Gudu Gudu drank up a bowl of tea.Then he gestured to the prefect's wife with his eyes to pour another bowl for him. Wu Yu stared at the prefect, watching him drink four bowls of tea before giving up.
"Do you feel any discomfort in the prefect?"
As soon as Wu Yu asked this question, the magistrate shook his head blankly:
"A few days ago, my wife said that the servant's body was a little hot, but these days it looks a little better! It's just that I can't help drinking more tea for daily use, it's not a big problem."
"Why is it not a serious problem? Today, the master almost fainted, almost scared the concubine's heart out!"
"Why is it so serious? Women are always timid!"
Although the magistrate had a bit of blame, but it didn't mean to blame Mrs. Zhifu, after all, a friend in adversity sees the truth.
When he was about to shut himself up in the back room before, only the prefect's wife obviously had no symptoms of the disease, but she still accompanied the prefect personally.
The big mask covered Wu Yu's small cheeks, only revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes.At this moment, for the first time, her peach blossom eyes are not as hazy and beautiful as before, and there is a light of thinking in them.
"Madam is also concerned about it, so don't blame Madam. Since Madam Zhifu feels that everything is fine, let's do it today. I will go to see other patients."
"You, please! This slave sends the envoy, and the fourth prince!"
In the conversation just now, the magistrate could see who was really talking.It's just that he still doesn't understand what the prince and fourth master said before the envoy felt his pulse.
After leaving the back room, Wu Yu paused outside the room and asked Yun Xin to pour alcohol on her hands to disinfect.
The prince couldn't hold back the pungent smell, and frowned.Seeing Wu Yu's skillful movements, Yinzhen opened his mouth to ask why, but he thought that Little Gege had only been in his house for a few months now, so he really didn't know much about it.
Therefore, ever since Little Gege became an envoy of God, the distance between them has been widened.
Yinzhen fell silent after thinking about it, but the prince beside him was unwilling to be lonely. Seeing Wu Yu rubbing his hands while walking, he couldn't help asking:
"What a girl, why did you suddenly use wine to wash your hands? The smell can be smelled from far away, and they use strong wine! Even if you want to imitate other people's arty, you should use something like pear flower white, sake, etc. It is!"
Wu Yu wanted to roll her eyes again, but seeing that although the prince has a poisonous tongue, his identity is still very useful, so she patiently explained:
"This is alcohol, which is used for disinfection and sterilization."
"Disinfection? Sterilization?"
Wu Yu nodded:
"The prince has been in the palace for a long time, and he should have seen those palace people who have been tortured. After being tortured, they often develop a high fever. If the high fever can survive, one life can be left. If not, then there is no gone."
The prince thought about it carefully, and found that it was not much different from what Wu Yu said, so he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it seems to be what the envoy said. Is there any connection between this?"
"Naturally, the reason for their high fever is that the wound is not sterilized. If you wash the wound with alcohol, you can reduce the occurrence of such complications."
The prince reluctantly agreed with Wu Yu's explanation, but after hearing Wu Yu's words, Yinzhen seemed to think of something, and opened his eyes wide:
"Since this alcohol has such a miraculous effect of disinfection and sterilization, wouldn't it be even more miraculous if it were used on the soldiers who fought in battle?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but... this alcohol is not easy to make!"
There are three ways to make alcohol, one is distillation and purification of alcohol formed after fermentation of cereal starches, the other is ethylene hydration, and the last is coal chemical method. ①
According to the existing technological level, only the first method can be produced in the wine.However, now that productivity is underdeveloped, how much grain does it take to form such a small bottle of alcohol?
The current imperial court is not very rich.
After Wu Yu told Yinzhen how he made this small bottle of alcohol, Yinzhen couldn't help being silent after calculating how much food the wine consumed in his heart.
You must know that in a disaster year, a stone of grain can exchange a child.
A life is actually quite cheap.
Seeing Yinzhen's silence after listening to his words, Wu Yu hooked the corners of his lips under the mask ironically.
The superior is so cruel.
However, Wu Yu didn't want to continue talking about this topic any longer, and the group walked from the back room to the second courtyard.When Wu Yu walked to the second courtyard, he was still walking forward with his head sullen, but was stopped by the prince.
"Where are we going?"
Wu Yu didn't stop, she just glanced at the prince:
"Could it be that the prince thought that the only patient was the magistrate? What's more, what is a major epidemic in Chuzhou? It's a disease that spreads between each other! The doctors in Chuzhou don't have a clue, so I have to see the symptoms of other people to find out. thoughts."
"No rest? It's almost time for lunch."
Wu Yu patted the purse on his waist:
"Forgot what you two said, bring your own dry food! If it's too late, you two don't have to follow."
Anyway, all of the people he went out to meet now were ordinary people, the prince, so this status was dispensable.
Prince: …
Yinzhen:……
“何柱儿!”
"Su Peisheng."
When the prince and Yinzhen looked at each other, an awkward atmosphere spread between them.
Wu Yu is not in the mood to care about their eyebrows and eye lawsuits at the moment, and walks straight to the door. These days, the evil spirit has become more and more intrusive to her, and she doesn't know how long she can suppress it.
She didn't want to go out vertically and come back horizontally.
Of course, a quick fix is best!
only……
It's so hard to be a human being!
She really wanted to be salty fish like before, but now that a living human life is in front of her, she can't just sit idly by.Wu Yu sighed uncontrollably, then walked out sullenly.
After leaving the government office, it was as quiet as if the whole Chuzhou city was an empty city.
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, and Yinzhen followed from behind:
"At this time, it should be the time when the people of Chuzhou line up at the west gate to get porridge."
"Are those sick people also at the west gate?"
Yin Zhen shook his head lightly:
"They, they are at home."
However, judging from the state of people's fear of the disease, they are just waiting to die quietly at home.
Wu Yu heard the subtext, she opened her black and white eyes and asked Yin Zhen:
"What if I want to see those patients?"
Yinzhen looked at Wu Yu's eyes that were full of smile and laziness in the past, but now they are full of seriousness and persistence.
He believed that even if he didn't tell Wu Yu, the woman in front of him would knock on doors from door to door to inquire.
"You come with me."
Yinzhen said something in a low voice, and then took Wu Yu to walk in another direction, while the prince behind him hurriedly chased him out.
"Wait a minute! That bastard, He Zhu'er, is not good at running errands, and he can't even match Su Peisheng's neat movements!"
Yinzhen took Wu Yu to the northernmost house that was completely deserted.
The deployment of each city has its own particularities, and the one that remains unchanged is the arrangement of the rich in the east and the rich in the west, and the poor in the south and the humble in the north.
Although the house in the north looked big, it was actually already dilapidated, but at this moment there were a few wisps of cooking smoke floating into the air.
"Brother Gouzi, hurry up, drink more, there is no food in the stomach, how is this disease cured?"
"I, I won't drink anymore. If I drink too much, I will drown. I can move back and forth. I don't have the strength!"
Wang Gouzi swallowed while talking, in front of him was a bowl of clear porridge water that could reflect his face, even the scattered rice grains in it were already one of the few surplus food they had here.
All of them were kicked out by their families after they got sick.
It's just that some people's families still have a bit of conscience, while others are different.Later, these sick people gathered together in this big mansion for some reason.
They supported each other, and lived with difficulty on the scraps of food they brought out.
"Brother Xiaogouzi, what are you talking about? If you want to drown, I'll take you there! Come on, drink it quickly! If you don't drink it, you will feel tired and your stomach will burn!"
Wang Gouzi shook his head:
"Stupid boy, Brother Bin was like me before he died. I can't survive. I don't have much rations. Let's share this bowl of porridge with some small ones!"
They are all sick people, they are all poor people, and they are all poor people who want to make a living.
But in the face of reality, they finally decided to give up the hope of more lives to others.
Wu Yu stood outside the dilapidated house, watching the scene in front of him, frowning slightly.
Obviously, obviously, that person named Wang Gouzi has set his eyes on the bowl of porridge in front of him several times, his eyes are so longing, but why did he give up the bowl of porridge to others?
Isn't everyone paying attention to death and being a full-fledged ghost now?
Wang Gouzi smiled and watched several half-grown children scrambling for it. You poured the bowl of clear porridge into your stomach one mouthful at a time.
"Okay, you guys, stop robbing! Fewer and fewer people come to our place these days, which shows that the government has made some efforts!
Maybe, when will the imperial physician sent by the imperial court come!Hey, the imperial doctor is the one who treats the emperor, and he will treat us when the time comes!
When your mother recovers from her illness, she must get you a bowl of sticky rice porridge!
Red peas, yellow rice, put two jujubes to nourish the body, sweet and glutinous, not to mention how fragrant it is! "
It's a pity that I can't wait.
Wang Gouzi drew big cakes for the little ones, and as expected, the little ones who were fighting for him immediately became more disciplined, and the youngest one blinked clear eyes:
"Uncle Wang, can our illness really be cured?"
"Yes, definitely! The imperial court will not ignore us! Maybe, maybe the imperial physician will come tomorrow!"
"Hey! Uncle, you run outside all day long, and you are a well-informed book. I believe everything you say!"
……
Wu Yu listened quietly outside.But the expression on his face became more and more bewildered.
She has been doted on by her parents in this life, and she has never encountered too difficult a thing.Because of this, after she became an adult, the catastrophe that really belonged to her officially began.
She understood protection from Fujin before, but now she seems to understand something else from this group of people suffering from illness.
What is the human race?
Don't be intimidated when disaster strikes.
Illness is not self-sufficient!
They have an optimism that even gods and beasts admire;
They have the tenacity that even the heavens shed tears for.
They are like weeds that grow again when the wind blows.
Wu Yu looked up at the sky, she stretched out her hand, her palm was moist.
It's raining.
