651 Take it back
The people of Fangjia Village were filled with joy.
He had no idea that the city was in chaos both inside and outside the city.
It was getting dark and Ping'an wanted to go to the city gate alone to take a look.
Lin Feng refused to agree. He could go but he had to follow.
"Master, there are only three of us here. After half of the medicine has been distributed, there is only half a carriage left. We might as well take them all to the city gate."
"Okay, there's still some light now, let's run faster."
He was very worried about Huo Zhi.
Before coming to Fangjia Village, he noticed that Huo Zhi's facial features had changed and his forehead had really become darker.
But he was not good at face reading, and he could not tell others that he knew a little about it, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble in the future.
Neither the master nor the sir wanted him to calculate these things.
These things are truly mysterious. If the secrets of heaven are leaked too much, there will be retribution sooner or later. That is why there are very few fortune tellers who live long lives.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Feng would soon become unable to see the road clearly, so he simply lit a lantern and sat next to Xiao Wu.
The carriage started moving.
None of the three were in the mood to talk.
This trip to the south of the Yangtze River was more dangerous than any of their previous outings.
Sometimes the disease spreads so quickly that you don't have time to think of a solution.
An hour later, they arrived at the city gate.
"Who is it?" A group of soldiers rushed over.
"All is well."
"Master Ping An? Why are you here?"
It turned out that the person leading the troops was Captain Fang.
“The victims at the city gate have been separated. To the west are the sick person’s family members and those living near the sick person. To the east are all the good people.
Master Ping An, General Hao's guards have already arrived in the evening, and the general will bring troops and food tomorrow afternoon."
"Oh, that's good, Captain Fang, are my master and his family at the inn?"
"Yes, those who are suspected of being sick in the city have also been isolated. The eldest son and the director are both in the inn, and the other doctors have all been withdrawn, except for you." Captain Fang thought about it and said, "But other doctors have been sent to each village, and medicine has been distributed."
"Captain Fang, do you know the Huo Zhi family? Where is he now?"
Captain Fang's face darkened. "Boss Huo also had a fever today. He is very similar to the infected people in every aspect. It is basically confirmed that he has been infected with the disease. He is also in the West District tent now. He has a personal bodyguard by his side."
Ping'an's heart sank. As expected, Huo Zhi had gotten into trouble.
"Captain Fang, I want to take him away." Ping An glanced at the west ward. There were only a dozen tents standing alone in the darkness. The flickering campfire made the feeling even more lonely.
"Young Master." Lin Feng and Xiao Wu were shocked.
How dangerous it would be to have a plague patient around.
Doctors are not autonomous.
Not to mention this epidemic.
"Lin Feng, Xiao Wu, first of all, he is my friend, I cannot ignore him, and secondly, there are outbreaks of diseases both inside and outside the city, and close treatment will be more conducive to finding the right remedy.
What if a large number of people here are infected, have you ever thought about the consequences? First of all, there are no extra medicines, no suitable prescriptions, and the medicines can only provide some relief. Once the disease breaks out, I'm afraid they will die in just a few days.
Furthermore, if too many people die, the air above here, every breath we breathe, will be filled with the virus, and the disease will spread as fast as the wind."
Captain Fang and the yamen runners behind him were all terrified.
If that really comes to the point, their families won't be able to survive.
Captain Fang was even glad that his family was not in the city.
Lin Feng and Xiao Wu stopped trying to stop him: "Master, no matter what, we are with you, but we have to tell the eldest master about this, right?"
Ping An shook his head: "No need to tell him for now, maybe he will know tomorrow."
What he said might really happen.
He took Huo Zhi away not only because he was his friend, but also because he was frightened by the sudden outbreak of epidemics in and outside the city.
No more long-distance treatment.
Huo Zhi is not only a patient, but also a doctor. He can accurately tell what is wrong with his body, which makes it easier for him to find the right prescription.
"Master Ping'an, this is not good for you. We dare not make this decision. Otherwise, if the eldest master and the prefect find out, they will..."
"Captain Fang, I'll take care of everything myself. You want these patients to see the doctor sooner, right? Doctors treat patients by observing, smelling, asking and feeling. Generally, they can't examine epidemic diseases at close range, because doctors are also human and can get sick easily.
But the situation is so bad now that I can only take a risk. If my master finds out tomorrow, you tell him that I will be extra careful and my people will also take medication.
That's it, I'll go and take him away now."
Lin Feng has already taken out the protective gown, mask and shoe covers.
The three men dressed themselves as tightly as possible.
Xiao Wu whipped the horse whip and the carriage galloped towards the west district.
Captain Fang stared at the carriage infatuatedly: "Master Ping An is really good to Mr. Huo. Others can't even run fast enough, but he still rushes there."
If a person can have one friend like this in his life, and a young marquis who is so capable, that is really enough.
The carriage arrived at the West Ward in a short while.
Lin Feng got out of the car, walked around a few tents, and quickly came back and pointed to the westernmost tent and said, "Master, this is where Mr. Huo lives."
Ping An got off the carriage and walked towards the tent.
A guard came out holding a lantern: "Who is it?"
"I'm Wan Ping'an. Is your young master asleep?"
"Master Ping An? I'm Huo Youdong. Why are you here?"
"Stop talking nonsense, pack your things and follow me with your master."
"Yes, Master Ping An."
Huo Youdong no longer hesitated and followed Master Ping'an. His master's life would not be lost easily.
"Ping An, don't come in. I must be really sick."
"Huo Zhi, I don't have to come in. Hurry up and get on the carriage with your guards. I'll take you away. If other patients find out, we may not be able to leave."
"Ping An, I can't hurt you."
"Huo Zhi, I'll count to ten. If you don't come out and get in the car, I'll come in. One, two, three..."
"Don't count. I'm going with you."
A quarter of an hour later, two carriages rushed back the way they came.
Captain Fang stood far away and bowed deeply in the direction of the carriage.
He admired people who valued friendship and loyalty the most in his life. He never thought that the famous little medical saint and the top scholar in the imperial examination would disregard his own safety and take in his friend who was infected with the disease to treat him.
Of course, some of what he said to Master Ping'an was not only for Mr. Huo, but also for all the patients in Yuhang Prefecture.
I hope he can find the right treatment from Mr. Huo’s illness.
It was almost midnight when Ping'an and his friends arrived at the shabby house where they had stayed last night.
"Youdong, help your son live in this wing room, and you can live in the main house with us."
Huo Youdong shook his head: "I have been living in the same tent with the master today. There is nothing we can do if he is really infected. The master cannot be without someone to take care of him.
Nan Ben is with me. He went back to the infirmary to get medicine. I left a letter for him in the tent when I left. When he comes tomorrow, let him stay with you. I will stay in the room next to the master."
The four personal bodyguards around Huo Zhi: Huo Youdong, Huo Youxi, Huo Younan and Huo Youbei.
These four people really grew up with him.
But Youxi and Youbei mainly help him run around to take care of the business, just like Uncle Ming and Wanhua.
Ping An knows all these.
