After all, she had seen how Zhu Shi worked hard for the people in the city, so Wu Yu tactfully did not answer, and even brought up the topic. She tilted her head and looked at the old man beside her:

"Is the old man also a doctor?"

But in an instant, the title has changed from an unfamiliar lord to a more familiar old man, and the old man gave Wu Yu a meaningful look:

"Otherwise? If it weren't for the benevolence of the doctors, how could I sit here? Do you want me to sit and watch the people in this city suffer from the epidemic?"

"The old man is Gao Yi, and the younger generation admires him."

Wu Yu said with a slight smile, the old man glanced at Wu Yu, pulled out a still warm sweet potato from the fire, and threw it into Wu Yu's arms.

"I've heard about you people for a long time. It took me so long to find it. It's really slow! Let's go straight to the hot stuff."

Wu Yu was actually already hungry, but their dry food was on the carriage, but it was a bit late when they arrived, and it was too late to turn back to the carriage to eat.

So Wu Yu greeted Fujin and the others, and asked them to sit down. He skillfully peeled off the dark skin of the roasted sweet potatoes, revealing the sweet, honey-like inner core.

"I will be disrespectful of the old gentleman's generosity! By the way, we also brought dry food here. After a while, the old gentleman will ask someone to go to the carriage and move the dry food we brought."

"Why, do you girl dolls really want to stay here?"

Wu Yu has been running around all day today, and now her eyelids are almost closed, she nodded wholeheartedly:

"Of course. They all said that once you come in, you can't get out, but I don't believe it, I..."

There was no sound at the back, and if someone looked closely, it was found that she was sitting up and fell asleep, her little head was biting, and there was still a sweet potato in her mouth.

Fu Jin pressed the center of his eyebrows helplessly and sat beside Wu Yu, supported her on his shoulder, and carefully took out the piece of sweet potato in her mouth with a handkerchief.

She really has a big heart, and she fell asleep without fear of choking.

Wu Yu climbed along the pole and leaned on Fujin's shoulders. Fujin only wore ordinary clothes when he came out today, and in addition to the fact that Fujin has become a little plump these days, Wu Yu's leaning is extraordinarily solid.

Fu Jin was leaned on by Wu Yu and didn't dare to move, he just looked boredly at the people not far away who were sizing up here, with the unobstructed starry sky above his head...

This feeling is really novel.

She has never been in such a down-and-out situation since she grew up, and all this was brought about by the people around her, but she couldn't bear to blame her.

Fujin was the first to pull Wu Yu onto her shoulders. Li Shi who was on the side glanced at it and frowned. She peeled one of the sweet potatoes she brought from the village just now, and with a bit of distaste, wiped the black potato on her hand with a plain handkerchief. Wipe off the ashes, and hand it to Fujin:

"Eat, be careful for a while and faint from hunger and fall to sister Wuhan!"

After doing all this while pinching her nose, Mrs. Li hugged another sweet potato and began to chew on it bit by bit.

Water resources are extremely scarce here, and a bowl of water was poured for them just now, so Li Shi did not dare to eat too fast, otherwise she would choke, and there would not be enough clean water for her to go on.

She is really crazy, just now she insisted on coming to such a poor place that made her feel chills!

They searched for her from house to house along the way. Although she was wearing flat shoes, she knew clearly that the soles of her feet were covered with blood blisters.

Aggrieved, Li raised her eyes to look at Wu Yu, but at this moment Wu Yu had fallen into a deep sleep, and she was not someone who could show weakness in front of Fujin, so she just sullenly ate sweet potatoes bit by bit.

On the other side, Mrs. Song glanced at Fujin who was moving quickly, and without saying a word, she focused her eyes on the sweet potato in front of her.

It's really useless to argue about the length of the night.

Seeing that Wu Yu was able to fall asleep after saying this, the old man couldn't help frowning and shaking his head:

"A girl is a girl, and she is inferior to a man in every aspect. She is going to bed before anything else happens. I really don't know what else to do!"

The old man sighed while speaking, poured out a boiled medicine in his hand and distributed it to the villagers.

"This is today's new drug. Those who are willing can try it first."

As soon as the old man spoke, some villagers enthusiastically ran over to pour a small bowl, drank it in one gulp, and then lay down back to their original positions.

But Fujin and the others didn't move, they still believed in Wu Yu more than the old man in front of him who didn't know the details.

The next day, Wu Yu gradually regained his senses in a burst of suppressed surprise voices.

"Little girl, is this plaster made by your master? Dare I ask your master's name, Gao, can I have the honor to meet her?"

Seeing Wu Yu woke up, the old man asked excitedly, but Wu Yu only blinked slowly:

"Master? I don't have a master. What you are talking about is Sanqi recovery ointment? I made it with my hands, so it's not worth mentioning."

Wu Yu stretched lazily while talking, in fact, she didn't get enough sleep, especially the resentment here was heavier, which disturbed her sober, sometimes confused, which made Wu Yu very unhappy.

Li pursed her lips:

"Old man, if you finish reading it, maybe you will return it to me?"

Mrs. Li walked all night yesterday, and she didn't remove the blisters on her feet, and now she is in excruciating pain.

Just now she endured the pain again, and went with the villagers to the carriage to take out the small medical kit prepared by Wu Yu, but the moment the Sanqi recovery ointment was opened, the old man snatched the ointment away like a cat smelling fishy. go.

Hearing Li Shi's words, the old man returned the plaster with some embarrassment.

Mrs. Li snorted coldly, took the plaster and limped out of the yard, found a big tree, crouched behind her back and applied the medicine for herself.

After hearing what Wu Yu said just now, the old man knocked Wu Yu out suspiciously:

"You girl, you are so angry to do these things?"

The little girl in front of her was born white and tender, delicate and soft.That pair of peach blossom eyes were still smeared with sleepy moisture, they looked like the jewels in the palm of the hand that had been pampered.

The old man knows better than anyone how bitter it is to study medicine and how unpleasant the smell of medicine is.But he never imagined that this little girl who seemed to be pampered in the palm of his hand would be able to concentrate on research, and even made a plaster that he couldn't help but marvel at.

"Well, is it difficult?"

Wu Yu was a little puzzled, she was afraid that she might be made things difficult when she entered the back house, so she made it first to be prepared, but she didn't expect that she would never use it once, and let others use it.

The old man choked, and now he took a scrutiny at Wu Yu, his expression became solemn, and he snorted coldly:

"Okay, since you don't think it's difficult, then I'll see if you really think it's not difficult or if you don't think it's not difficult! If the old man is not mistaken, you should be the head of the women who came here with you, then the old man I want to ask you, since you have worked tirelessly to come here, what do you intend to do next?"

Wu Yu didn't sleep well at the moment, and was very depressed, but now the epidemic is imminent, so Wu Yu pressed the center of his eyebrows and asked:

"Since the old man has been here for a long time, may I ask the old man if he has ever seen who was the first person who contracted the disease, and where is he now?"

After hearing this, the old man raised his finger and pointed to the sky, the meaning was self-evident, and Wu Yu didn't expect that the worst outcome would still come, that person was dead after all, she asked with a sullen face:

"Then his family is still there?"

"He is just a lazy man without father and mother. I heard from the villagers that he never goes to the fields to tend the crops. He only eats at meal times every day. The east family eats a meal, and the west family eats a meal, which has allowed him to live until now."

Wu Yu: "..."

This is a bit sloppy.

"...Then does he have someone who makes good friends with him?"

Wu Yu asked cautiously, can't it?Qin Hui has three friends, this person can't even have one friend, the old man did not disappoint Wu Yu's expectation and nodded.

"Yes, there. Lin Tieniu, come here."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a tall and burly young man trotted over from not far away. He was honest and upright. He stood there with a pair of bull's eyes wide open like a hill, and his eyes were full of trust in the old man.

"Old Wang! You called me!"

The old man pointed to Wu Yu:

"She has something to ask you."

Hearing this, the young man's completely trusting eyes on Mr. Wang changed instantly, and Wu Yu touched his nose helplessly because of the guard inside.

"you recognize……"

Wu Yu got stuck, but she didn't know the name of the first patient who contracted the disease. Fortunately, the old man knew what Wu Yu meant, and kindly added:

"She asked if you knew Lin Zhuzi."

"Why don't you know me! Zhuziren is a little lazy, and he is also a good brother who has played with me since childhood! You ask me what I am doing!"

Lin Tieniu asked in a rough voice, making Fujin and the others beside him frown.

The people they met in the past were all happy and angry, whether male or female, but they had never come into contact with a person like Lin Tieniu who had no regard for the feelings of others and wrote vigilance all over his face .

But Wu Yu didn't have time to take care of these small details at the moment, she pinched her palm, rubbing her thumb on the second knuckle of her index finger:

"According to what you mean, you are also very familiar with him?"

"nature!"

Lin Tieniu raised his chin proudly:

"Zhuzi is hungry sometimes, and then we share a bowl of rice. Brothers who share a bowl of rice, you can say whether you are familiar with it or not!"

Wu Yu twitched the corner of her mouth, brother who returned a bowl of rice, she was sure that the biggest reason why Lin Zhuzi approached Lin Tieniu was because of his bowl of rice.

Wu Yu was thinking this way in her heart, but she didn't say it out. She rolled her eyes and said sideways:

"Since the brother who has a bowl of rice, you must be familiar with his daily whereabouts? Then you... do you know where he went and what he did before he contracted the disease?"

It has been more than a month since that incident, so Lin Tieniu still had memories in his eyes when he remembered the incident at that time. After a while, he pursed his lips and said:

"Zhuzi got sick before the imperial envoy came, but I was not in the village for a few days and he was locked in the house by no one. I broke into the house and saw that he was sick.

At that time, he was already sick and confused. I asked the doctor to see him, but the doctor said that he had a cold, and the medicine prescribed for the cold would have no effect.

Afterwards, even though I took the medicine day by day, I gradually became ill, and I had no choice but to watch him helplessly..."

Lin Tieniu paused as he spoke, and then the mountain-like man couldn't hold back and wiped his face with his hand, and said again:

"As for what Zhuzi does every day, there is no one in the whole village who knows better than me! This year we have a severe drought in Xuanping, and the county magistrate will increase taxes again. Zhuzi is full and the whole family is not hungry, but he has not escaped. At that time, the county magistrate sent someone to take away the only remaining food left in his family.

This year is such a situation, no one in the village is rich, so no one will give him a bite to eat.I can't help it, so in those days Zhuzi was catching mice and snakes in the fields. "

Wu Yu couldn't help pondering when she heard this, and after a while she glanced at the young man in front of her:

"Have you ever eaten it? The mouse he caught."

"Hey, don't mention it soon, the big black mouse looks so disgusting, if the pillar had no way, who would eat those things?"

Lin Tieniu rubbed his arms while talking, obviously the goosebumps were directly aroused by the scene described by Wu Yu.

Wu Yu didn't expect that the extremely strong young man in front of him would be so repulsive to mice, but mice...

"Could it be the plague? But if it is really the plague, the methods left by people in the past will not be delayed until now..."

Wu Yu muttered to himself, and the old man listened quietly, stroking his beard from time to time, without interrupting Wu Yu's thinking.

"So, this...Brother Tieniu, can I bother you to take me to catch a mouse tonight?"

Although Wu Yu was married, she was still young, her face was pure and milky white, and her eyes were as clear as glass. She looked like a girl who was married to a child's parents.

That's why Lin Tieniu's already dark skin turned a thin layer of red at the sound of "Brother Tieniu", but then he waved his hand quickly.

"I can't, I can't. When I was a child, I was bitten by a mouse on my toe. Now I am afraid of that thing. If I can ask someone to help you!"

It was night, Wu Yu followed the two young men, sitting in the field, looking at the quiet field under the bright moonlight.

I don't know how long it took, the moon had already reached the sky, and then I heard a rustling sound, and saw a black shadow jumping out of the field.

Its destination is very clear, it is the grain that Wu Yu and others put under a big tree.

The two youths looked at each other and chased after each other, ready to catch the mouse.

But at this moment, the cloud that covered the moonlight was blown away by the wind. Wu Yu's eyesight was excellent, and she keenly noticed that the mouse had a different fur than ordinary mice.

It has a continuous black line from the spine to the tail.

"Stop! Don't touch it!"

Wu Yu's cold sweat broke out suddenly, and then she looked left and right, picked up a head-sized lump of soil beside her, and threw it in a standard throwing posture from a long distance away.

The two young men stared dumbfounded at the black line rat, who was greedy for food, and was smashed into a puddle of mud by the lump of soil.

Two young people:! ! !

Are all the girls now so awesome? !

Wu Yu took a deep breath, then smiled at the two young men who were still in shock:

"Thank you for your hard work, I think I have found the source of this epidemic."

After Wu Yu said this, he took heavy steps and led the two of them back to the courtyard where everyone lived together.

Ever since Wu Yu decided to catch mice with the two young men, the old man had changed his opinion of her a little.

In order to find out the source of the epidemic, a delicate and weak woman even dared to catch the rats that the man would find disgusting when they saw it. It has also become a little more gentle.

"I'm back. The sweet potatoes have been roasted. The dry food you brought is polished rice. I cooked a pot of porridge before. You haven't come back. They have already brought you a bowl to dry."

The old man said they were naturally Fujin and the others.

Wu Yu looked around, and found that Fujin's people were looking at her worriedly. She forced a smile at them, and then walked to the side of the old man with a serious expression:

"Old man, you have been here for so long, have you found anything? Have you found out what the source is?"

The old man was taken aback when he heard Wu Yu's words, then he shook his head lightly:

"It's the old man who is useless, otherwise why would people in a village still suffer?"

That Lin Tieniu looks so strong now, it was because he was not in the village at the beginning, and he didn't contact the patients immediately, but waited a few days later when he realized something was wrong before going to see Lin Zhuzi, and the old man came in time. He was infused with homemade herbs.

However, during the few days when Lin Tieniu was not in the village, Lin Zhuzi wandered around the village a lot at first. Didn't everyone who came to this village be hustled by him?

Looking around at the moment, there are families huddled together in a small yard, but there are very few people who can really sit up, and all these are the hard work of the old man these days.

Wu Yu heard this, licked her chapped lips, and said slowly:

"I found it."

The woman's voice was extremely soft, like a feather brushing by, but it was heard by everyone, but it was heavier than Mount Tai!

When everyone put down their hands, Qiqi looked up.

"...What is the source?"

The old man asked everyone's aspirations, but his voice was very hoarse, with a hint of vibrato.

"It's a black wirerat."

Wu Yu also didn't mean to be tricky:

"This kind of mouse is the natural carrier of the hemorrhagic fever virus, a virus that is invisible to the eyes of everyone, but as long as it comes into contact with it, it will make you sick.

If I guessed correctly, the reason why Lin Zhuzi contracted a strange disease was because she ate the black line rat! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

It's not that no one has eaten those snakes, insects, rats and ants during the disaster years, but they never thought that the most harmless rats in their eyes would become the source of the disease after eating them.

"What does this black wire rat look like?"

"It's dark brown and has a black line running down its back from the back to the tip of the tail."

Wu Yu didn't hide her secrets at this moment, and told everything she knew in detail. Speaking of which, she knew the danger of black line rats because of a piece of news she saw when she was wandering in modern times.

It was a group of students living in the dormitory who ate snacks that were crawled over by black wire rats. As a result, none of them survived.

At that time, she remembered this scalp-numbing mouse, so that when she saw the black line on its back just now, Wu Yu quickly matched the news in her memory. Numbered.

"Now that the source has been found, no matter how greedy you are these days, you will never touch any of those things in the field again. Girl, do you think I'm right?"

The old man's tone changed from mild to respectful, and Wu Yu also nodded:

"That's right, not only that, even the food we want to eat needs to be taken care of carefully, don't be touched by the black wire rodent, otherwise there is a possibility of contracting the disease!"

The old man nodded, Wu Yu had a good sense of what he said, and he believed most of it.

"You're talking nonsense, how could we such a big person be harmed by such a small mouse, don't you scare me here?!"

Lin Tieniu stood up suddenly, staring at Wu Yu with a pair of bull's eyes, his nose moved, as if on the verge of an explosion:

"I don't believe that Zhu Zi died because of that mouse. I, I, I'm going to catch that mouse and come back. I want to eat it for you to see!"

Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned cold:

"Eat it for me? Are you doing everything for me? You are betting your life!"

"I……"

"That's enough! Lin Tieniu, since what this girl said is so clear, I think it's not a lie. Why should you get angry because of this matter? Do you want me to save you who are so healthy so hard, and become a Is it like those people on the ground who are infected with the disease?!!"

Wang Lao once scolded, Lin Tieniu finally lowered his head.

Wu Yu didn't bother to look at him, and put her eyes on the old man:

"Now that the source has been found, what we have to do is to start to treat it. There are four major periods of this hemorrhagic fever: fever period, hypotension period, oliguria period, polyuria period, and for each period I My opinion is that..."

Wu Yu shared his thoughts with the old man, and after hearing this, Mr. Wang nodded in agreement. After thinking about it, he finally agreed:

"I think it's feasible. We can try it first. If it's feasible, then the people in this city will be saved!"

As soon as Mr. Wang said this, he was lying on the ground, and the eyes of the patients instantly shone with hope. If not for everyone being caught on fire and seriously ill, they might have stood up and cheered!

Wu Yu spoke so dryly that he wanted to beg for some water, but Lin Tieniu got up in a muffled voice and went to the well to fetch water, but soon he ran over anxiously:

"Old Wang, the well, there is no water in the well!!"

There is no water!

It was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts, no matter whether it was Wang Lao, Wu Yu, Fujin and others, or even the patients at the side, their complexions became ugly in an instant.

People can live for two weeks without food, but they will die without water for three days.

As a doctor, Mr. Wang also understands this truth very well, otherwise he would not have gathered everyone in the only courtyard with a well when he entered the village.

At this moment, Lin Tieniu was holding the half bowl of sand.His face was ugly.

And at this moment, a white pigeon was circling back and forth over the yard, its dexterous eyes seemed to spot a person, and it swooped down directly.

The white pigeon finally landed by Fujin's side, and Fujin also recognized that it was a carrier pigeon kept by the palace.

She saw the bamboo tube tied on the pigeon's leg, opened it and took out the note inside, and after reading it, Fujin's face became even uglier.

"The letter said that the imperial doctor and medicinal materials that Master Zhu had asked the emperor to send here will not be able to come here for a while."

As for why he couldn't come, the letter didn't say, after all, the note was short and there was no time to explain everything in detail.

But it happened that this note came at this time, and it happened that the house was leaking and it was raining continuously.

No water, no medical treatment, no medicine, bad news one after another wiped out everyone's hope.

Wu Yu pursed her lips and looked up at the cloudless sky.
