After Tong Wenyao learned about the situation, she stood up and walked towards the village. Wu Zhuang saw her leaving and hurriedly shouted, "You didn't give me the antidote." Tong Wenyao turned around and said, "Antidote? Ha, I would give the antidote to someone who wants to kill me? You must be here to make fun of me."
After hearing this, Wu Zhuang's face turned pale instantly, but he was unwilling to give up. He stood up and rushed towards Tong Wen Yao, thinking that even if he died, he would take her with him.
Tong Wen Yao felt a gust of wind from behind, and when she turned around, she saw Wu Zhuang rushing towards her. She had no time to dodge and was hit in the abdomen.
"Hiss!" The violent collision made her frown. Seeing him hurting her master like this, Xiaoxue hurried forward and smashed it hard with her front paw. Wu Zhuang's head was immediately pressed to the ground.
The sharp nails scratched his face and blood flowed directly down his cheek to the ground.
After seeing this, Xiaoxue retracted her claws in disgust. The man was too dirty and smelly, and she was disgusted.
When Wu Jia saw this, he immediately ran out and controlled Wu Zhuang, and then tied his feet.
"Wen Yao, are you okay?"
Tong Wenyao held her stomach for a long time before she stood up again. "Uncle Jia, I'm feeling better now. I'll be grateful for your help in keeping an eye on them."
Wu Jia repeatedly expressed his courtesy.
Xiaoxue squatted beside her and motioned for her to sit on his back and go back.
She supported Xiaoxue with her hands and then sat on it. After Xiaoxue carried her master on her back, she walked home steadily. Many children saw her and followed her and said, "Sister Yao, riding a leopard is so majestic!" After hearing this, Tong Wenyao forced a smile despite the pain.
Xiaoxue couldn't help but let out a low growl at this time, causing the children who were originally surrounding her to scatter.
They arrived at Tong's house in a short while. When Xing'er saw her, she hurried over and helped her sit down.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Tong Wenyao shook her head and said, "It's okay, just rub your stomach."
Tong Wenyao pressed the Zhongwan and Guanyuan acupoints with her fingertips. It took about a cup of tea for the pain to subside. Wu Zhuang had been too ruthless, but it was also her fault for not paying attention.
"How is Jia'an now?" Xing'er responded from the side: "Mr. He pressed the acupoints after you left, and the fever has subsided now." Tong Wen Yao nodded. Jia'an is still young, and he will need to take Chinese medicine for a while after this incident.
"Bring me some paper and a pen. I'll write a prescription. Ask He Chuan to get the medicine from the pharmacy and have Jia'an take it for a course of treatment." A course of treatment here is one week. Adults originally need two courses of treatment, but children only need one course of treatment.
After giving the order, Tong Wenyao lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling. She had been thinking about the cement building opening in the city during the Lantern Festival, but now she had missed it. She wondered if her second uncle and his men had reached the border yet.
On the other side, Tong Hong and his men finally arrived at the border city of Dongsai after riding for a day and a night. However, Tong Hong never expected that the border city gate was now closed.
When Wu Ping saw this, he shouted, "Brothers inside, open the door!"
The guard was a little excited when he saw a familiar person outside, and hurriedly shouted down, "Is it General Tong?"
Tong Hong made a gesture, a gesture used among their group, and the gatekeeper, upon seeing it, became excited. "The general is back! He's back to save us." However, thinking of the epidemic in the city, he spoke with frustration, "General, you should return quickly. The people here have been infected, and the doctors are helpless."
After hearing this, Tong Hong immediately shouted, "Open the city gate quickly, we have brought medicine." The guard was in disbelief and looked at the person next to him and asked, "The general said he has medicine?" After realizing it, he immediately became excited. They were too numb before. There was originally only one infected person in the city, but in the end it developed to a quarter of the people infected. Although the adults tried to stop and isolate them, they still infected other people for some reason.
Seeing that there were two carriages behind General Tong, they thought that maybe the medicinal herbs brought by the general were on them. Thinking of this, they quickly opened the city gate.
After Tong Hong led his men into the city gate, he saw General Guo Xin, who was guarding the border, walking towards him. After seeing Tong Hong, he felt a little more at ease. Guo Xin originally guarded the southwest, but after the Tong family was exiled, he was sent here to guard. He had no previous understanding of the barbarians' fighting methods, and after coming here, he had suffered several losses, big and small.
Furthermore, this time the disease was caused by barbarians disguised as merchants who brought in people infected with rats. By the time they were discovered, that small area was already infected. Coupled with the movement of people, a quarter of the city's population was infected in an instant.
The doctors in the plague city are still developing prescriptions. There has never been a plague here. It was only after the refugees from the south arrived that the barbarians took the opportunity to bring people into the city.
"Brother Tong, long time no see." Tong Hong hugged him tightly and said, "Brother Guo, you did a good job on this!"
The two walked towards the tent to discuss how to deal with the plague. Tong Wenyao followed behind, and Wen Ziyu followed behind Wu Ping. Wu Ping needed to take medicine to the diseased area, so Wen Ziyu followed to help.
Guo Xin looked at Tong Hong and said, "Now, our city gates have been closed to trade. I believe that in a few days, the barbarians will launch an attack on us."
Just by listening to Guo Xin's words, Tong Wenyao could tell how dangerous the border was now. There was insufficient support from the rear and there was even an epidemic. The Wu Kingdom, or the barbarians in front, were eyeing him covetously and were ready to take his life at any time when he was sick.
Tong Hong took out a white ceramic pill, showed it to Guo Xin, and said, "This is medicine for treating plague. If you have a fever, take one pill in the morning and one in the evening for two days."
Guo Xin said, "Good, good, good! With this medicine, the people in the city can be saved."
Tong Hong asked, "Is the epidemic still spreading among the people in the city?" Guo Xin said with a guilty look on his face, "To my shame, the epidemic is still spreading quite a bit."
Tong Wenyao remembered his sister saying that plague is sometimes spread through fleas, and sometimes even through saliva and feces.
"General Guo, Junior Tong Wenyao, I'd like to know if General Guo washed the clothes of the sick patients after isolating them, and how he disposed of their feces."
Guo Xin looked in the direction of the voice, and when he heard him say his surname was Tong, he couldn't help but wonder if the boy in front of him was Tong Anguo's son?
Tong Hong said from the side, "This is my nephew. Please take good care of him from now on, Guo Xin." After Tong Hong spoke, he explained to him, "The people in the city have a fever. If they wash their bodies, the fever will get worse. That's why those who are infected now don't take a bath."
