631 Difficult to Control
Mr. Huang had been carried to the bench, his face was pale and his eyes were closed.
When everyone saw Wang Qing bringing Huo Dongjia over, they hurriedly made way for him.
"Please move aside. It will be good for the patient." Huo Zhi said as he checked Mr. Huang's pulse.
Later, he took out a silver needle from his pocket and inserted it into Mr. Huang's Ren Zhong acupoint. Mr. Huang was overly anxious and had not had a good rest for many days. Moreover, he was over 50 years old. How could he bear it?
Lord Huang woke up slowly.
Huo Zhi pulled out the needle: "Master Huang, you need to rest more, otherwise you still can't bear it."
Lord Huang stared at Huo Zhi for a long time before he reacted and tried to stand up. Huo Zhi beside him hurriedly helped him up.
Mr. Huang grabbed Huo Zhi and said, "Mr. Huo, you came at the right time. Something happened. It really happened."
Huo Zhi saw that Mr. Huang's hands were shaking and he was speaking incoherently, so he turned to look at Wang Qing.
"Brother Huo, the yamen runner just reported that many people in a village in Qionglin County have fallen ill, and two people have died. It is said that these people have eaten drowned pigs and may have been infected."
Before Wang Qing finished speaking, Huo Zhi hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the government has sealed off the village? These people must not run to other villages, otherwise they will be out of control."
Wang Qing was shocked: "Brother Huo, we just found out about this as well."
Mr. Huang sat up straight. "Mr. Ou, Mr. Wang, please mobilize your men to block this village immediately. Mr. Huo, is there anything you should pay attention to?"
Huo Zhi said: "No matter what, we have to seal off the village first, and the yamen runners who go to seal off the village must wear outer coats and cover their faces, and these outer coats and face masks must be burned before entering the city.
I will go back now and ask someone to prepare some medicine. Later, the yamen runners can take some medicine and give it to the villagers to make themselves, one small packet per household. These medicines can only control the condition a little, and it is by no means a real cure.
You also understand that the best doctor in my Huo family is the old grandfather. My father is also a good doctor. The old grandfather has passed away three years ago. My father just heard that my eldest brother's county was trapped by water, and he suddenly suffered a stroke, and it was not light. I came to the yamen to ask Lord Wang about some situations.
My Lords, please be busy. I will go back to prepare medicine. Also, there are many old doctors with superb medical skills in our city. You can gather them together and maybe you can find a good solution."
Huo Zhi's words revealed that he was not very skilled in medicine, and even a fool could tell that he didn't want to get involved in these matters.
Huashoutang's medical treatment has indeed deteriorated since the old man passed away. If Mr. Huo suffers another stroke, it will be even more...
Huo Zhi was not wrong, since he took over, he played to the strengths and avoided the weaknesses. His medical skills were not very good, and his father did not get along with him, so he focused more on the medicine, so the total income of the Huo family did not decrease over the years, on the contrary, it increased a lot.
I don't want to go to the clinic to deal with the plague. No doctor is willing to go. How the yamen finally arranges it is their business. They should provide medicine if necessary. If that doesn't work, they can send two doctors.
Huo Zhi strode out, but did not really go back. Instead, he stood guard at the gate of the government office, knowing that Wang Qing would definitely come out soon.
Wang Qing groaned in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey the order and leave the yamen with a team of yamen runners.
"Brother Wang."
Wang Qing smiled bitterly, "I was just about to go to your place to get the medicine. I'll go to Qionglin County after I get the medicine. I have to stop on the way today. Brother Huo, how is your father's condition? I didn't have time to ask just now."
"It's a little serious. I can only control it temporarily. But in another five or six days, the eldest son and Ping An will be here."
Wang Qing smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen Ping An for several years. I have always wanted to see him, but with this happening here, I don't want him to come."
"Brother Wang, Ping An's arrival is a foregone conclusion. This cannot be changed. We can only hope that they can cure this disease.
Brother Wang, you must not get close to the villagers, just shout from a distance. If the villagers don't listen, you can't be too soft-hearted. Once the disease spreads, more than just a few people may die."
Wang Qing nodded: "Brother Huo, your elder brother and the others are fine for the time being. Master Huang and the others will find a way. We are discussing this matter together today. Who would have thought..."
"Brother Huo, I'll have someone go back with you to get the medicine. Please put the money down first. I have to go back."
"Brother Wang, is the old lady feeling better? I really have no way to cure her illness. Let's wait for the eldest master to come and see if there is any good solution."
Wang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. His mother's memory had declined a lot in the past two years. She would often forget what she had done after a short while, and sometimes even forgot where her home was when she went out.
Wang Qing and his men set out on the same day. When they arrived in Qionglin County the next morning, they ordered the county magistrate to bring yamen runners to seal off Taohua Village.
But the yamen runners learned that three days ago, several villagers saw that the situation was not going well and went to the mother's home in other villages overnight, but there has been no news of anyone being infected in these two villages so far.
Wang Qing just felt a buzzing in his head. The epidemic also has an incubation period, and one will not fall down immediately after being infected.
She immediately led people to the two villages, and when they arrived, they found that in addition to the villagers who had returned, even people in her mother's family had the disease.
As a last resort, the two villages had to be closed off again.
Ping'an and his companions arrived in Liuyang County that day.
In another four or five days we will reach Yuhang Prefecture.
Although this place was not flooded, the rising river water was still frightening, and the gloomy sky made people feel suffocated.
There are few people walking on the road, and it is deserted.
Ping An Zhaolie took some people into the city to purchase.
If you purchase normally, you can only buy some necessary daily necessities and steamed buns.
But he had money. Whenever he arrived at a county town these days, he would buy a lot of vegetables and have them processed, and then bring them back to the team so that everyone could eat.
These do not need to be reimbursed or deducted from anyone's private account, so everyone is naturally very happy.
So many people cannot stay in an inn or go to a restaurant. If they only have porridge and steamed buns for more than a month on the road, with no vegetables or meat to eat, they will lose their energy after a long time.
This time he originally wanted to bring his master, Uncle Zhang and others out for a big meal, but they thought it was not a good idea, so they had to bring their own people and Bai Jiaxuan along.
Bai Jiaxuan is four years older than him. The two have known each other since childhood, but later they did not have much contact due to various reasons.
These days the two of them are often together.
Bai Jiaxuan also paid out of his own pocket to buy a lot of food and daily necessities for everyone.
This guy is smart, much smarter than Bai Jiaming.
Zhu Yuanzheng was looking at the gray and foggy sky, feeling extremely depressed. After leaving the capital, he had not received any news from Yuhang.
Sun Sicheng looked at the thin face of the Dean, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Uncle Zhu, don't think too much. It's not a good thing to worry too much. It will be here in a few days. Let's wait and see what news Ping An and the others may bring back.
Tomorrow I will have He Jin take Da Zhuang and Da Chao on horseback to find Huo Zhi and Wang Qing first."
