Chapter 103 Song Jiuyuan, do you really want to take the risk with me?
"Okay then, don't regret it then!"
The guards ordered people to open the city gate, and Pan Hongyan drove the carriage into An County. As soon as their carriage entered, the city gate of An County was closed again.
The guard told Pan Hongyan the location of their county government office and let him pass without a careful check.
After all, the most dangerous place in the world right now is An County, and the enemy might not dare to go deep into the enemy camp at this moment.
In the carriage, Jiang Wan opened the curtain and looked at the quiet and deserted streets outside, feeling deeply touched.
The streets are filled with the smell of white vinegar. The ancients believed that white vinegar could disinfect. In fact, the effect is very small, but it is better than nothing.
The city was extremely quiet, except for their carriage which was passing along the road, attracting countless people to stare.
But at that time everyone was afraid of contracting smallpox, so no one dared to go out, and no one even opened the windows.
Jiang Wan could only judge from the vague figures in the window that there were still many people in the city who were unable to leave.
I heard from the Sixth Prince that this is only the fifth day since the smallpox outbreak began. I guess everyone still has some surplus food at home, so it won't be too chaotic.
But if this continues for a long time, riots will definitely break out in An County. Jiang Wan can almost imagine that scene.
At first, she wanted to get a favor from Mr. Chu, but now Jiang Wan felt eager to solve the smallpox problem.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the county government office. Pan Hongyan went in to negotiate, and soon a middle-aged man with a big belly came out.
The man looked at the carriage excitedly. This was the miracle doctor invited by the Sixth Prince and Old Chu.
I guess he is much more powerful than those half-baked old guys in the city.
The county magistrate had a smile on his face, but it froze when Jiang Wan came out.
But he quickly calmed down and asked, "Has the miracle doctor not come out yet?"
He mistook Jiang Wan for the miracle doctor's maid.
Jiang Wan: ...
"Sir, this is the miracle doctor invited by the Sixth Prince."
Pan Hongyan explained awkwardly, and then said to Jiang Wan: "Madam Song, this is Magistrate Su of An County."
Magistrate of Su County: ...
He widened his eyes and rubbed them in disbelief to make sure he was not seeing things.
This girl looks about the same age as his daughter. Even if she started learning medicine in her mother's womb, she has only studied for a dozen years.
She is actually a miracle doctor?
"I don't dare to call myself a miracle doctor. I'm just an ordinary doctor."
Jiang Wan's modest smile made County Magistrate Su feel less uncomfortable.
If he was an ordinary doctor, it would be fine, but the light in his eyes had gone out. "Doctor Song, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. I will arrange a place for you to rest first."
He felt dejected. It seemed that An County was really hopeless this time. The Sixth Prince was not even willing to give a perfunctory response.
They actually sent a young lady over here, it was obvious that they were trying to fool them.
"My last name is Jiang, and my husband's last name is Song. Please have my husband go to rest first, and I will go with you to see the smallpox patient."
Jiang Wan was not blind, so she could clearly see the contempt in County Magistrate Su's eyes, but she was not angry.
To him, she was just a young girl, and she was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with him.
What she has to do now is to see the patient as soon as possible.
"Doctor Jiang."
Magistrate Su sighed, "The situation in An County is not optimistic right now. The doctors who were sent in can't get out now."
He didn't mean to scare Jiang Wan, but to make her realize the seriousness of the matter. As a result, Jiang Wan was not afraid.
"I know, take me there."
"My lady, I'm with you."
Song Jiuyuan, who was brought out by Pan Hongyan, spoke persistently. Jiang Wan had no choice but to ask County Magistrate Su to prepare a wheelchair.
This is a wooden chair, which is similar to a horse-drawn carriage. Although it does not have modern intelligence, it is still convenient.
Seeing how persistent she was, Magistrate Su did not try to stop her. After all, she was sent there to solve the smallpox problem.
So he personally took the people to a yard, which was full of guards standing outside, and County Magistrate Su had a sad face.
"I sent all those who were infected with smallpox here."
There was a smell of vinegar outside the yard. It seemed that County Magistrate Su was a man who cared about the people.
So Jiang Wan kindly said, “Smallpox is mainly transmitted through breathing and contact.
You can have someone make some masks like mine and have the guards outside the yard wear them, which will reduce the chance of infection."
"Thank you, Doctor Jiang, for your advice. I'll have someone arrange it right away."
Magistrate Su agreed very enthusiastically, but Jiang Wan could see that he didn't seem to particularly believe her words.
It's just because she was sent by Mr. Chu that I show her a little more respect.
"Hold on tight."
Jiang Wan frowned. It seemed that she had to achieve some results before the other party would be convinced.
Magistrate Su was the county magistrate, so it was impossible for him to take the risk by himself. He sent the people outside the courtyard and then a special guard took them in.
"Song Jiuyuan, do you really want to take the risk with me?"
Jiang Wan stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at Song Jiuyuan seriously. If there was any hesitation in his eyes, she would not take him in.
But Song Jiuyuan didn't. He looked firm and said, "Jiang Wan, I believe you."
"Okay, go in."
Jiang Wan felt warm in her heart and stepped into the yard. The stronger smell of white vinegar hit her nose.
There were not many people in the outer courtyard. As they walked inside, they could smell a strong stench. The guard said to Jiang Wan and the others:
"I can only take you here, you go in by yourselves."
"Thanks!"
Jiang Wan smiled and led Pan Hongyan and Song Jiuyuan inside. The further they walked inside, the more depressed they became.
"Oh, it hurts so much, please let me die."
"Mom, mom, how are you? You can't leave me!"
"It's all your fault, you damn bitch. If it weren't for you, would I have gotten smallpox?"
“…”
Various sounds came, which made Jiang Wan's heart tremble. When he walked closer, Jiang Wan found that there were several courtyards of different sizes.
A few doctors were scratching their heads and thinking about a good prescription, while a few people who looked like apprentices were taking care of the patients.
The yard was in a mess, with people lying everywhere. Some were holding their bodies and wailing in pain, while others were numb and expressionless, waiting to die.
There were even some people who didn't want to die so they grabbed the wall. This scene made Jiang Wan very distressed.
"vomit!"
Pan Hongyan's eyes fell on a patient with pustules, and he couldn't help but vomit while leaning against the wall.
Song Jiuyuan, on the other hand, remained calm. He had seen such tragic situations on the battlefield and he could still endure it.
But he didn't expect Jiang Wan to remain calm. She told Song Jiuyuan:
"I'm going up to treat the patient now, don't move."
"good."
Song Jiuyuan agreed obediently and watched Jiang Wan quickly take out the silver needle bag from the backpack.
Then she took a few steps forward and locked her eyes on a dying patient.
Before she could get closer, Jiang Wan was stopped by an old man with white beard.
"Who are you?! What are you going to do?"
Jiang Wan had just arrived, so she looked unfamiliar to them. They had never seen Jiang Wan before, so they looked at her with caution.
Jiang Wan was about to explain when a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Madam Song, you are here too?"
