Chapter 3452: Extra Chapter 31
Chief Li leaned back on the bed and said, "It's safest to leave it to him. He doesn't look down on the Liaozi tribe's wealth, but he won't sit idly by and watch the chaos in southern Xinjiang. He's the only one who has the means and prestige, but not the ambition, to do this."
Chief Li has another thought that he hasn't pointed out. Even if Bai Shan has the intention, what can he do?
He is a Han Chinese, so even if he temporarily controls the Liaozi tribe, it will not last long.
So using Bai Shan is much better than using others.
He said, "My health is inconsistent. Last night I was shivering with cold and had no energy to handle government affairs. The most urgent task is to cure the malaria and stabilize the tribes. You should give orders and let everyone obey Bai Shan's orders. Be humble. These nobles from the Central Plains value face. When they are respected, they feel comfortable and will be willing to do things."
He paused and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Li Si."
Having said that, he wasn't actually very worried about Li Si, he was just giving the order casually.
All the men in the Zhang family had died, and now only a group of women and children were left, and they could do nothing. This was also the lesson he learned from his uncle.
His uncle didn't eradicate the problem back then, so he came back.
The chief steward agreed to everything, and after going down, he did whatever Bai Shanrang asked him to do.
With Bai Shan around, the confused and disoriented Liaozi officials and warriors quickly became orderly.
The people who were suddenly frightened by the epidemic also calmed down under the influence of this orderly situation, and disaster relief and assistance were carried out in an orderly manner.
In addition, the chief's eldest daughter went to the streets every day to settle the people, and even boiled and delivered medicine to the people. She was not afraid of the spread of malaria. Not only the people in the city, but also the panic of the tribes outside the city was alleviated after learning about malaria.
However, they did not dare to relax and approach Annan City.
Including those who originally intended to rebel.
After confirming that there was indeed a large amount of malaria in Annan City, they stopped their actions, especially when they heard that there were nobles from the Central Plains in the city.
The wizards who had been trapped in the Madam's courtyard by the chief steward were also released. It was Zhou Man's idea. "The city is short of manpower now, especially doctors. The wizards have some medical skills, so they should be put to use."
They were invited by the chief steward to treat Madam Li. Of course, this was the official reason. In fact, their main purpose was to treat Chief Li.
Originally, Zhou Man should have stayed in the mansion to treat Chief Li and Madam Li, but she only returned to the mansion at night in the past two days to check on the changes in their conditions. The rest of the time she was in the medical tent outside, and even took Zhang Wu away.
If we take the other witches away now, there will be no doctors left in the mansion.
The chief steward hesitated and refused to let him go.
Finally, Bai Shan had someone bring over a handwritten letter and told the chief executive, "There are also patients in the mansion. Lord Bai has ordered that one person be left on duty at the mansion every day, and the rest of the people should follow Lord Zhou to provide relief to the victims. If the epidemic in Annan City cannot be controlled, then the chieftain's mansion will not be able to be defended no matter how strong it is."
The chief steward had no choice but to agree.
So Zhou Man formally met the witches who were invited by the general manager and then hidden away.
Standing in the front was Wu Jin, whom she had met twice.
As soon as she appeared, Wu Jin's eyes fell on her, and it took a long time before he moved his eyes to Wu Yin, who was one step behind her.
Wizards have their own methods and are more proud. They can convince Zhang Wu and Wu Jin, who are also wizards, but they will not trust an outsider.
So they stood there, looking at Zhou Man with clear eyes, unwilling to bend down. Even though Zhou Man had taken the initiative to salute them, they still stood there arrogantly.
Wu Yin frowned slightly.
Zhou Man, however, didn't care. She didn't care about these things at the moment. Her goal was to find someone useful, as long as they were useful. So she said, "I have written a few prescriptions, but the patient's pulse needs to be taken first to determine the appropriate prescription. Then, the corresponding prescription should be used according to the severity of the symptoms. There are too many sick people in the city now, and some of them have symptoms that are not malaria but are diagnosed as malaria, so we need to distinguish them one by one."
She said, "All the doctors in the city have been recruited, but there are still not enough people. All of you wizards have your own skills and are good at diagnosing illnesses, so I'm asking for your help."
Zhou Man finished speaking, turned around and nodded to Wu Yin, saying, "I'm not from the Liaozi tribe, and I don't know much about Wu. You may have something to say. I'll wait for you outside. We'll go to the medical tent in two quarters of an hour."
Zhou Man left decisively, and now it was the wizards' turn to be stunned. Just like that?
Wu Yin bowed and watched Zhou Man leave. Then he turned back to look at them with a serious expression, "Master Zhou is my teacher."
An elderly witch couldn't help but sneer, "She's just your teacher teaching you medical skills. As a witch, you still have a lot to learn. Your closest teacher should be the Great Witch."
He glanced at Wu Jin, who was standing at the front, and asked provocatively, "Maybe it's not the Great Wizard, but Wu Jin?"
Wu Yin's face was expressionless. "You're right. She only taught me medical skills and she's not even from the Liaozi tribe. I probably shouldn't have listened to her, but she's not from the Liaozi tribe. What does the survival of the Liaozi tribe have to do with her?"
The witches were stunned.
Wu Yin: "She has no parents, no siblings, and no acquaintances except for me, her former student. Life and death here have no significant impact on her. Why would she go to such great lengths to take action and endure everyone's contempt and insults?"
Everyone's expression changed.
"She's not after power or gain. She's already earned enough fame in Dajin and reached the pinnacle of power. She looks down on the Liaozi tribe out of compassion. A doctor's compassion is a heartfelt one." Wu Yin looked at them and said, "But we're different. Here are our loved ones, our tribe and people, our roots. Are you sure you're going to refuse the help of Dajin's greatest doctor just for your ridiculous pride? Or are you going to stand by and watch your people die of malaria?"
The witches looked grim and lowered their heads slightly.
Wu Jin, who was standing at the front, asked, "Are you sure her prescription is effective?"
"Malaria is very variable, and each symptom is slightly different. I can't guarantee that the teacher's medicine will be effective, but," Wu Yin raised his eyes and looked firmly at his brother across from him, "if even the teacher can't cure malaria, then we have no other choice."
The witches grew restless, and one whispered, "According to tribal tradition, the most effective way to deal with an epidemic like this is to cut off the source of infection."
Wu Yin said expressionlessly, "Then are you going to throw the chief and his wife into the fire and burn them to death?"
The other party immediately stopped talking, the faces of the witches changed drastically, and someone secretly glared at Wu Yin.
As soon as these words were spoken, the warriors standing in the yard looked at them warily.
