Chapter 79: About to be Unblocked [Second Update]

Wei Shengxue's gaze fixed on the real-time epidemic prevention chart showing the changing number of people, she casually replied, "There's no rush. We can talk about it after we finish dealing with this."

System: Okay.

The number of red dots shown on the epidemic prevention map is much less than before. I believe that if the current level is maintained, they can be completely eliminated in ten days to half a month.

"Thanks to Song Jing for researching allicin, otherwise many people would have died this time."

Wei Shengxue recalled the evaluation the system gave her when she first met her. "Is this the strength of a medical genius?"

Not entirely.

[Ordinary geniuses don't have this ability. This success is largely due to the blessing of national fortune, which gave them a huge buff.]

To receive what was most needed when it was most needed was such good fortune that even Wei Shengxue could not help but sigh, "This national destiny is bestowing good fortune, right? I want this too."

…

Wei Shengxue was here lamenting the good fortune of the Qin Dynasty, not even realizing that she had been gradually deified among the common people in the village, to the point where anyone who had anything to do with her was absolutely right.

We are still in the early stages of the epidemic here, and there are very few serious cases. Most of the cases are mild in the early stages of infection. With the right medicine, adequate daily nutrition, and professional medical care, people who did not have serious symptoms to begin with have quickly alleviated their symptoms and recovered. Some have even become whiter and plumper than before because of less work and better food every day.

This made them admire the immortal who brought all this even more, and the first words they said to greet him privately were "Do you know that immortal...", "Do you know that immortal...".

There are many behaviors in the village that are inconsistent with their understanding, such as wrapping themselves in plain robes, wearing face cloths and gloves, and spraying medicine in the aisles three times a day; for example, everyone is required to wash their hands before eating, and it is not allowed to take food from others or pass food to others.

But as many people gradually recovered, they reported having dreams of immortals performing magic to save them. This rumor spread more and more widely. It seemed as if everyone could invent a dream involving an immortal, telling it as if it were true.

Everyone doesn't know whether what others say is true or false, but they firmly believe that what they say must be true. They are willing to believe that what others say is true. This is their hope for survival, and it repeatedly deepens their belief in the omnipotence of immortals and their compassion for the immortals who save the world.

As for this rumor, it was reported to Princess Yangzi and Fusu soon after it came out, but they both consciously let it go and even promoted the spread of this rumor, only adding a little trace of His Majesty in it.

So the rumor spread that Your Majesty offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, praying for the immortals to come down to the world to save the suffering people of the Qin Dynasty.

The women of Bamboo Village, newly arrived in the village, weren't used to it. They had to wash their hands and weren't allowed to take food. It was a lot of demands. They just wanted to give their children something delicious. They weren't taking food from other people's bowls; they were just moving some food from their own bowls. What was the big deal?

But as soon as someone raised this idea, they were stopped by the woman in the next yard who was looking after them. She sternly told them: "This is absolutely not allowed. You must abide by all the required regulations in the mountain stronghold. Otherwise, the consequences of violating the Qin law will be the same as the consequences of violating the regulations here!"

They had long understood the strictness of Qin law, and from then on, no matter how bizarre the request was, they dared not refuse it.

Just do it anyway. They won't be short of food or clothes, and it's even better than at home. If I weren't worried about no one taking care of the fields at home, I would want to live here forever.

At first they thought it was quite troublesome, but as they did it, they got used to it and even felt a little proud of it.

I heard that these requirements were formulated by immortals. Hey, this is what the immortals said. Rounding it off, they are also people who have been personally treated by the immortals.

"When we return to the village, I will ask my husband to carve a longevity tablet and worship it every day, so that the protection of the immortals can stay in the house forever." This is what a woman in Zhucun, whose husband is a carpenter, said.

When the people around her heard her say this, they all said, "Tell your husband to make a few more pieces, and I'll go to your house to exchange them later."

"It's just a small matter." The woman who spoke just now agreed immediately.

They were almost the last batch of patients. As time went on, more and more people recovered, and the first and second batches of patients were released one after another after they recovered.

At this time, someone asked the woman who had taken care of them in the beginning: "Big sister, didn't you say before that we couldn't get too close to other people? How come you can come over and visit us now?"

The woman smiled, her voice clear and bright. "You certainly didn't listen to what those white guys said. I'm almost fully recovered. People like me who will be released soon have already developed antibodies and are less likely to get this disease. That's why I can come and walk around. If you have any questions, please ask me. I'll be going home in two days."

At this moment, a little girl from Zhucun pushed the door open and ran in, shouting, "Oh no, oh no, someone died from taking medicine!"

Her mother's face suddenly changed. She rushed over, covered her mouth, and cursed sullenly, "You stupid girl, what nonsense are you talking about! Your parents are fine. If it weren't for this magic medicine, we wouldn't still be talking here. I don't know where they would have been buried!"

The little girl, whose mouth was covered, struggled hard to free herself, shaking her head repeatedly. "I didn't say that. I heard it from my playmate Hu Zi. He said he saw a girl with red stripes painted on her clothes going to rescue someone. Not long after, someone was carried out covered in a white cloth. They all said she died from taking the magic medicine!"

The village chief's wife stood up immediately after hearing this. "Pah, pah, pah, what kind of magic medicine killed him? It's obvious that the man's life span has come to an end. It's his fate!"

The others also echoed, "That's right! It must be his own fault. Why did he get into trouble while others didn't die from eating it?"

"I think he must have done something evil and was discovered by the gods, so he was punished intentionally."

…

In the emergency room separated from here by an area, several imperial doctors including Xia Wuqie were guarding here, with several corpses that had lost vital signs in front of them.

Xia Wuqi felt for their pulse and lifted their eyelids to check. After multiple examinations by several people, it was confirmed that these people were indeed dead.

A doctor's compassion flashed in his eyes. He slowly closed his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Cover it up."

After the people were carried out, he finally had time to ask about their situation: "What's going on? Are they all prescribed the same medicine?"

The doctor in charge of that area had a grim expression on his face. He took a deep breath before calming down and replied, "The potions are all from the same vat, and the meals they eat are all cooked in the same pot. Everything here is distributed uniformly, so there won't be any differences."

Talking about this matter, he felt angry and aggrieved.

What kind of thing is this? Everyone else is fine, but he's the only one who's in trouble.

Since this quarantine center was established, except for those who were seriously ill and could not be saved, when has anyone died? It seemed that it was almost over, and people died, and all of them were killed by him.

"What's the relationship between these people?"

The doctor in charge thought about it and said, "They seem to be cousins."

"Cousins...then the blood relationship is quite close." Xia Wuqie sighed, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He remembered a certain knowledge point mentioned in the medical book given by the immortal master, and now he wanted to ask the immortal master to verify it.

…

【Host, something happened.】

Wei Shengxue paused, "What's the matter?"

[Some people had an allergic reaction to the medicine and died on the spot.]

Wei Shengxue frowned: "Why didn't anyone come to report to me?"

"Someone come here." she shouted.

"Go to the emergency room and ask what the condition of the people who were brought in today is."

The guard standing outside the door took the order and left. As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Xia Wuqie who was coming over.

Xia Wuqie stopped him and asked, "Did the immortal order you to go to the emergency room to investigate?"

He waved his hand, "No need to go over there, that's exactly why I came here."

Another guard standing at the door of Weishengxue saw him coming and stretched out his hand to stop him. Just as he was about to say something, a voice came from inside.

"Let him in."

The guard retracted his hand and stepped aside to offer a gesture: "Doctor Xia, please."

I wrote it in the afternoon. As soon as I walked in, before I even started talking, Wei Shengxue spoke first, "What's going on with those people today? Didn't you do a taste test before?"

The taste test is an experiment she modified based on the antibiotic skin test, mainly used to exclude people with allergies.

This is also what Xia Wuqie is puzzled about: "The people who died today were not here for the first time, nor was it their first time to take this magic medicine. They never had any excessive reactions before."

That's strange.

Wei Shengxue first released his spiritual sense to examine the bodies of those people, and found that they were indeed showing symptoms of death caused by allergies.

"System." She decisively summoned her plug-in.

[Looking again, looking again, don't push me.] The system desperately flipped through the system logs, trying to find the truth.

The area of ​​the cottage is large enough for the system to cover. If such things are done within the coverage area of ​​the system, even if someone goes to the toilet without cleaning their butt, it will be recorded.

But when the system found their records, it was strange to find that they were fine after taking the medicine yesterday, but had a severe reaction after drinking the medicine today. They even died of allergic shock before being sent to the emergency room.

What's going on?

Even the system was confused.

He didn't believe that there were things within the coverage of the system that he had not recorded.

The system immediately began a census, checking everything that had happened in the village in the past two days, even the mother mouse in the mouse hole gave birth to several little mice, and every color was checked, but still no poisoning or tampering was found.

Finding no problems, the system plunged into the database and searched for a long time.

It took a long time before he came out under the host's gaze.

[Host, you may not believe it.]
