648 Terrified
Ping An saw that his master had a frown on his face and knew that he was in a bad mood.
"Master, are you worried that you can't diagnose the cause of the disease from a distance?"
Doctor Wang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "My eldest son, Master Ping'an, I think it will be hard to find my grandson. I am alone now and it doesn't matter if I live or die. Why don't you set up a tent at the entrance of the village and live there? The diagnosis results will be more accurate and I can accumulate merit for my next life."
Sun Sicheng shook his head and said, "Doctor Wang, don't give up your life easily until the last step. You signed a contract with Ping An and you belong to him now.
You have just arrived and some things are still unclear. Ping An and I won’t say how good we are to our people, but we will never give up easily.
Avoid contact with patients if possible. Other people’s lives are lives, but our lives as doctors are not lives?
I was just thinking, should I call two more patients a day to check on their conditions? The virus is ever-changing, and not all patients may have the same condition. "
“Master, Dacheng will take the medicine with his mother when he returns. I still have some confidence in the five-flavor soup. It’s not that easy to cure, but it will definitely provide some relief.
As long as there is some relief, we will discuss with the director tonight to see if we can prepare a large amount of medicine tomorrow for all the patients to take."
"Young Master, isn't this too hasty?" Doctor Wang said after thinking it over.
Sun Sicheng said, "I know what Ping An is thinking. He is afraid that the seriously ill person can't wait any longer.
Let’s put it this way, if Dacheng and his mother feel better, let him come back early tomorrow morning to get the medicine.
After one night, if he is really better, even if it is just a little better, we will immediately discuss with the director and prepare a large amount of Wuwei Decoction, and try to give the medicine to the patients in each village tomorrow afternoon."
"Master, I will prepare two packets of medicine for Dacheng now."
Sun Sicheng watched Ping An enter another tent and whispered, "I suddenly feel very worried about the tens of thousands of people at the city gate. They are crowded together and the smell is terrible. Will anyone among them get sick?"
Doctor Wang opened his eyes wide and said, "My Lord, it is possible. The virus can be transmitted through the air we breathe. If that is the case, the city may not be safe."
Those people were in the open space at the city gate, and there were soldiers guarding the city just across the wall. Not only that, there were also people distributing medicine and porridge at the city gate, and these people had to go back to the city after finishing their work every day.
Sun Sicheng could no longer sit still when he thought about this.
"Doctor Wang, what should we do?"
"My Lord, I have lived in the mountains for more than ten years, and my heart may have become hardened. I think even if you go to the government office and tell them now, they may not take action immediately.
Why not wait until tomorrow morning? If the child comes over and the medicine he drank today is indeed effective, you can mention this matter when you discuss it with the dean.
Of course, given your status and position, even if you talk to the prefect now, they might be able to find a solution."
Sun Sicheng smiled bitterly: "Let me think about it. If I rashly bring up this matter, it might scare the people who are distributing porridge and medicine. If they don't dare to come to distribute porridge and medicine, I'm afraid these disaster victims will tear me apart."
Doctor Wang had to nod, this was indeed possible.
"Then let's not talk about it today. It's only one day. If there is an infectious disease, it might have already been lurking in people's bodies. One day earlier won't solve the problem. We might as well think of a prescription."
Ping An stopped.
What his master and Doctor Wang said made him terrified.
Without exception, Lin Feng and Xiao Wu heard what the eldest master and Doctor Wang said, and their faces changed.
The three of them quietly went to the next tent.
"Master, what should we do?"
Ping An thought of Huo Zhi, who was also treating the victims at the city gate today.
"What can I do? Just tell Master. If I tell him now, I'm afraid I'll scare away those kind-hearted people. Don't worry, I'll think of a solution."
It takes an hour to ride from here to the city gate. If he writes a letter to Huo Zhi, Huo Zhi cannot leave halfway. The most he can do is to be more careful.
When we are in this world, there are always many times when we have no control over our own behavior.
Sun Sicheng was extremely anxious. "Doctor Wang, this is still inappropriate. I have to write a letter and ask Xiao Wu to go to the government office. No matter what the result is, I have reminded him. At least I can have a clear conscience. Otherwise, I will not be able to eat."
"My Lord, I am too cold-hearted. You are right. This matter is too big to be delayed."
In the tent, Ping An was getting more and more uneasy. "You two can cook here. I'll go talk to the chef and come over to eat later."
Knowing yesterday that they might have to stay here for a few days, Xiao Wu and Lin Feng bought a lot of food and daily necessities.
They only need to take care of these few people. The fifty officers and soldiers have their own food sent by the government. Jiangnan is rich, and even if there is a disaster this year, the people who come from afar will not suffer any loss.
Ping An just returned to the tent.
He saw the master writing a letter and he stood by and watched silently.
Sun Sicheng told the story again.
Ping An didn't want to lie to his master. "Master, I just heard your conversation with Doctor Wang outside. I also think it's right to tell the government, but I'm afraid it's too late."
"I hope it won't be too late, Ping An, ask Xiao Wu to come over."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wu rode away on horseback.
Sun Siben originally wanted to ask Xiao Wu to stop by the director's place and tell him about the five-flavor soup that might be used tomorrow. But after thinking it over, he decided to wait until tomorrow morning and wait for the child to come over to see the result before making any further plans.
If the result is not what he and Ping An hoped for, then everyone's happiness will be in vain.
In the afternoon, drizzle began to fall from the sky again, and the air was chilly.
Several people were absent-minded. Xiao Wu had been out for more than half an hour. It seemed that the news had already been delivered to the hands of the officials in the yamen.
"Xiao Wu is back." Lin Feng jumped up.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and it was indeed Xiao Wu.
"My Lord, Master, the letter was delivered to General Zhu at the city gate, and he promised to deliver it immediately.
Master, I saw Mr. Huo and gave him your note. "
"Well done, Lin Feng left some food for you, go eat it."
A side hall of the yamen.
After reading Sun Sicheng's letter, Mr. Huang saw nothing but darkness and his advisor beside him hurriedly supported him.
"My Lord, what is the matter?"
"Look, this is the letter from the eldest son and Ping An."
The letter was not long. The lawyer finished reading it quickly and began to tremble all over.
"Sir, if it is really as the eldest master and his apprentice think, then it is really incredible."
"Go and get other people to come over immediately. We can't waste a moment. We need to discuss how to disperse these people at the city gate without scaring off those who are kind-hearted."
The lawyer trotted out.
Lord Huang burst into tears. If the city was also infected with the plague, he would never be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times.
Is God crazy? Does he really not want people to live?
It has been several months and I can count the number of sunny days on my fingers. Where has the sun gone?
