Chapter 198 Miracle Doctor
"It would be better to let them fend for themselves?" Song Yanxi finished his unfinished words.
Qiu Zongping nodded and frankly admitted, "The epidemic is coming with great force. The city's herbal medicine reserves are already limited, and there is no need to waste them on stubborn people."
From his eyes, Song Yanxi only saw objectivity, without any contempt.
Even if the people here today were not beggars, but the people of the city and his subordinates, he would still maintain the same attitude.
Looking at the beggars hiding in the shadows, clearly looking for an opportunity to pounce, he said coldly, "Since they're determined to die, why not grant their wish?"
Song Yanxi said softly: "Not necessarily."
Fearing that she was being too soft-hearted, Qiu Zongping frowned and was about to speak when he saw a child staggering out from the tent next to him.
He shouted, "Divine doctor, my brother is awake!"

"Strange, really strange!" Xi Lin looked at the young man who opened his eyes on the bed, turned around and walked out quickly.
As he walked, he muttered, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
Suddenly a figure jumped out from the darkness and rushed in while he was about to open the curtain.
Xi Lin shouted, "Xiao Zhengzi!"
The next moment, a long leg stretched out quickly from the tent and kicked the black shadow away.
Then a few more people ran over and pretended to rush into the tent.
"Hey, you guys aren't done yet, are you?"
Xi Lin rolled up his sleeves and was about to take action when he heard Song Yanxi's cold voice from inside the tent, "Let them in."
Several people took the opportunity to rush in and saw the situation inside the tent. Some people were frightened and turned pale. They crawled out while shouting, "He's resurrected! Li Cheng is resurrected!"
As he passed by, Xi Lin raised his leg and kicked him again, sneering, "He wasn't even dead, so how could he be pretending to be dead?"
The man fell down and said tremblingly: "I tried, he was clearly dead just now!"
The people watching from afar also became agitated.
Because of the effects of the medicine, they were already feeling very restless and wanted to do something urgently. Now that they heard that someone had come back to life, they became even more excited.
Some people even said to the people next to them: "Why don't we go over and take a look? We're only dead now, so if we can survive, wouldn't it be a win?"
One person saw that something was wrong and said with a firm face: "They are all liars. How can a dead person come back to life?"
As soon as the words fell, a figure emerged from the tent and shouted, "Grandpa, Jinxuexing's brother is really alive!"
The one who spoke was Goudan.
He just broke up with his brothers in public today, there is no way he would help lie.
A figure trembled and walked out of the tent next to him, muttering, "If that child, who was so sick, could survive, then my Goudan can too."
Seeing that he was about to leave, the instigator immediately refused to do anything. He rushed forward, grabbed his arm and shouted, "You old man, you are tired of living, but we don't want to die yet!"
Someone echoed: "That's right, if you want to die, go die by yourself, don't drag us into it."
The voices of agreement were weak and only a few people could be found.
The man was anxious. Looking at his companions who were clearly moved, he angrily asked, "Are you not afraid of death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly grabbed his collar.
A cold voice sounded behind him, "You are the one who is not afraid of death."
Cheng Duan took a few quick steps and threw the man heavily to the ground.
He tugged at the cotton cloth on his face and angrily said, "I was wondering how could a bunch of beggars who couldn't even get enough to eat have so much trouble? It's you who's stirring things up, right?"
The man's eyes rolled and he lay on the ground and started to make a scene.
He shouted, "The soldiers are beating people! The soldiers are beating people!"
Cheng Duan folded his arms and sneered, "Everyone from the two streets over here has already been taken to the War God Temple. Scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."
He left the words behind and strode towards Xi Lin.
"Where is the county master?"
"In the tent."
Without waiting for Xi Lin to ask what was happening outside, Cheng Duan rushed into the tent. When he saw Qiu Zongping, he lowered his voice and said, "Why are you still lazing around here, kid? Don't you know that the prince is missing?"
The corner of Qiu Zongping's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked, "Isn't the prince in the general's mansion?"
"Who said he wasn't? He should be recuperating in the yard. Why do you think he's running around for no reason?"
Cheng Duan was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the reactions of the other people in the tent.
The armor on his body rattled as he moved, making an unusually loud noise.
Noticing Song Yanxi's frown, the little beggar immediately said, "Could you please stop moving? It's too noisy."
Cheng Duan frowned, "Where did this wild boy come from?"
"I'm not a wild boy. I have a name. My name is Li Zhi!"
The little beggar angrily said, "You disturbed the miracle doctor and asked him to treat my brother."
Hearing this, Cheng Duan slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. I almost forgot the important matter."
He quickly pulled out two pieces of paper from his chest, walked up and handed them to Song Yanxi, saying, "This is the prescription given by Military Doctor Xu. After the people drank it, their symptoms were alleviated a little, but there wasn't much improvement. He asked me to bring it to the princess to see if there's anything else he wants to add."
The little beggar quickly reached out to take it, unfolded the prescription under his angry glare, and prepared to start reading it.
Xi Lin walked straight over and stretched out his hand towards him.
Li Zhi blurted out, "I can read."
"Why, you can change the recipe?"
Silenced by Xi Lin's words, he had no choice but to return the prescription. He pursed his lips and looked at Li Cheng, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open but unable to speak.
Cheng Duan took Xi Lin a few steps and asked, "What's wrong with this kid?"
After listening to his concise and concise words, he asked in a deep voice: "How is it? Can it be saved?"
Xi Lin wanted to shake his head, but thinking of Li Cheng's extraordinary willpower, he changed his tone and said, "The princess is still trying her best to treat him, but whether he can survive depends on the child's luck."
Cheng Duan nodded, then suddenly asked, "Where did you say this child came from?"
"Lijia Village, Hexi Town."
Cheng Duan's eyes suddenly widened. He glanced at Li Zhi and said in a low voice, "Isn't this the place the prince sent people to investigate? The brothers who were sent to investigate have returned. No one in the village, including the animals, is alive."
He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Such a serious matter, but no one reported it to the authorities. It's simply ridiculous."
"How is the situation at the General's Mansion?"
"There's nothing to worry about right now. General Xu has already issued an order that the brothers who have left must not return home for a short period of time. They must not bring this damn disease home and infect their wives and children."
Speaking of this, Cheng Duan said with a strange expression: "These prevention and treatment methods were all said by that Princess Shihan. I don't know if her words can be trusted."
