Chapter 65 Treating Illness When It's Mild
No one expected that the gentle and refined young master would be so ruthless.
Pei Jishi met his gaze and nodded in gratitude.
"Wife, lend a hand. I need to set the child's bones. It will be very painful. Please control the child a little."
"Why!"
The woman quickly knelt down to help, no longer daring to look at the young man who had dislocated someone's jaw.
Wei Jingchen's gaze fell on the person who was inciting the people.
"How can the city dare to open the gates and let people in when you've stormed them? Lord Yang is a responsible and good official."
He's already trying to resettle the refugees. If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Those people quickly hid in the crowd.
At this moment, Yang Jingyan arrived at the city wall and nervously peeked out.
"Young Master Wei, have you found the old Valley Master?"
"My lord! It's Lord Yang!"
Some of the city's residents recognized Yang Jingyan's voice. When they looked up, they saw that Yang Jingyan had covered his mouth and nose with a white cloth.
"Lord Yang, a stampede just occurred, and the old Valley Master is currently treating the injured people!"
"What?"
Yang Jingyan followed Wei Jingchen's gaze and saw an old man kneeling on the ground, disregarding the dirt, bandaging a child's wound.
This must be Master Pei Jishi!
"Gentlemen! The city has also been afflicted by the plague. Your entry will be of no use."
If you trust me, I will have people set up camp outside the city, distribute porridge, and provide free medical care and medicine!
"What? Even inside the city..."
Pei Jishi looked up and saw Wei Jingchen coming forward.
"Old Valley Master, a few people broke into the city this morning. We have a junior physician who diagnosed them."
However, the exact details still need to be confirmed by the Valley Master; the people in the city are currently unaware of this matter.
Our priority is to stabilize the refugees outside the city and control the spread of the plague!
Although Wei Jingchen is young, he speaks very logically.
After saying that, he lowered his voice and said, "Old Valley Master, could you first give the people some reassurance?"
"Should we calm the refugees down so that Lord Yang can open the city gates and the officials can set up camp outside?"
"Of course!"
Pei Jishi tied a knot in the gauze, stood up, and bowed to the people.
"Gentlemen, I am Pei Jishi, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. Please heed my advice: I am about to descend the mountain..."
Having learned of the plague in Jiangnan, I have come to offer my assistance. Since you all come from Jiangnan, you may all be carrying the disease.
The early stages of the epidemic are not terrible. Please follow Lord Yang's advice and seek medical attention and take medicine as soon as possible!
The people fled Jiangnan simply to find a way to survive, and along the way, no one in the cities they passed through offered them any help.
Not to mention providing them with free medical care and medicine.
Moreover, looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, which physician dares to say that they are more skilled than the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?
It's unclear who knelt down first, but everyone else followed suit.
They didn't speak, yet they said it all.
Yang Jingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Open the city gates!"
The officials formed a small team, each with their face covered, and stood waiting under the city wall.
"Boom!"
The city gates were wide open, and the refugees outside looked up, but no one dared to get up and rush in.
Yang Jingyan's confidant led his men out of the city, followed by several doctors.
The doctor took the refugees from Pei Jishi, and Wei Jingchen stepped forward to lead Pei Jishi into the city.
"Yang Jingyan, the magistrate of Yangguan County, greets Elder Pei!"
Yang Jingyan bowed to Pei Jishi, and Pei Jishi hurriedly returned the bow.
"Lord Yang, what is the situation inside the city?"
Pei Jishi's primary concern was the situation of the common people.
"At the beginning, when the refugees rushed into the city, we didn't know the situation and escorted them into the city."
Fortunately, the main route through Jinglan County passed through Yangguan County, and she was skilled in medicine.
While treating Li Dali, we learned that an epidemic was rampant in Jiangnan, so we immediately imprisoned them.
Officials who had come into contact with the affected people were also kept at the county government office, and officials who had not been in contact with the people in the epidemic area were separated as much as possible.
Upon hearing about Li Dali's matter, Pei Jishi merely frowned slightly and did not concern himself with it further.
The most urgent task now is to help the people infected with the disease.
"Among the refugees who unexpectedly entered the city, are there already people infected with the disease?"
"Yes, because one of them was robbed of his food by refugees on the road, fell off a cliff and was seriously injured."
Princess Jinglan was worried that the medicine she had used was too strong and would damage her health, so she urged us to quickly invite the old Valley Master over.
The group headed towards the county government office and happened to run into Yang Biao, who was also heading there.
Yang Biao saw him and immediately stepped forward: "Lord Yang! I heard that my brother-in-law was taken away by your men?"
"Mr. Yang, did you bring along everyone who had contact with him?"
"Yes, what exactly happened?"
Having traveled extensively, Yang Biao naturally knew that this matter was not simple and thought it might be related to closing the city gates in advance.
"Yes, please come in!"
As soon as Yang Jingyan led his men into the county government office, a thick plume of smoke billowed out, and the distinct smell of mugwort filled the air.
As soon as everyone entered, they smelled it. Pei Jishi asked, "Lord Yang, did Princess Jinglan ask you to burn this moxa?"
"Yes, she said that this could prevent the spread of the epidemic to some extent."
Pei Jishi nodded to himself.
It seems that Princess Jinglan is indeed quite capable. As a result, the refugees entering the city may very well have already been infected with the epidemic!
"Master, it seems that this Princess Jinglan is quite capable!"
Xian Pingyan has always been arrogant and disdainful of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Such a evaluation is already unprecedented.
When I walked into the backyard, I saw a group of people lying on the ground, shoveling at the melting snow.
What are you doing?
Yang Jingyan looked at his men in shock.
"The person suddenly developed a high fever, and the little miracle doctor said to use this melted snow, crushed into ice, to lower the temperature!"
The official carried the basin and ran back.
"The melted snow on the ground is so dirty, how can you do this so carelessly?"
Xian Pingyan frowned in disapproval.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Pei Jishi did not respond, so the others pretended not to hear.
Upon entering the house, I noticed that the charcoal brazier was placed quite far away, but the temperature inside was still acceptable.
Several people were seen wrapping ice in an oilcloth, then wrapping it in another layer of cloth, and then stuffing it into the patient's blanket.
What are you doing?
Xian Pingyan asked.
"It's getting colder."
As Doctor Qin answered, he turned around and saw Pei Jishi, his face immediately lighting up with joy.
"Brother Pei!"
"Brother Qin! What are you doing here?"
Before the two could even exchange pleasantries, Doctor Qin hurriedly stepped aside.
"Brother Pei, come quickly! This is a bodyguard from Zhenyuan Escort Agency who fell off a cliff and is on the verge of death."
I've also contracted the disease and am now running a high fever! I'm not very knowledgeable in medicine, and I can't figure out what medication to use.
He was seriously injured, and even young friend Yun said he wasn't sure what medicine to prescribe, fearing that giving too much might backfire!
Upon hearing this, Pei Jishi quickly stepped forward.
A little girl was lying by the bed, and Pei Jishi lovingly held the child's shoulder.
"Good boy, let Grandpa treat your father."
Yun Zhao: ?
Huh? My dad?
