Chapter 256 When will you be in charge of Liangzhou City?
Sang Ning slept for two whole days.
When she came out, only Huo Jingya was lying on the kang, staring without blinking.
"Fourth sister-in-law! You're finally back!"
"Auntie Tao, Auntie Tao——"
Taoliang had to wait for Sang Ning, so he did not go with the old lady and the others. He stayed on the mountain with the remaining villagers, so he came back first.
Huo Jingya shouted outside, and Tao Liang came in with a pot of chicken soup.
"Little Miss!"
She knelt at the head of the kang and cried.
However, Sang Ning vomited when he smelled the chicken soup.
"Take it away, take it away. I don't want meat. I want porridge."
"Fourth sister-in-law, you have lost weight."
"Blame the old servant, blame the old servant." Tao Liang quickly took the chicken soup away.
"It's not tasty at all. It would be better if the ladies were here. I'm clumsy..."
"No, Aunt Tao... Hey, make me some more porridge. I want to drink porridge now."
"Okay, okay, I'll go now."
"etc……"
Sang Ning remembered that there was no more spiritual spring water at home.
She got up and went to the kitchen. Without avoiding Tao Liang, she brought out another jar of spiritual spring water.
Tao Liang stared blankly, and finally understood why Miss Jingya kept saying that her fourth sister-in-law was a goddess.
There were only the three of them and Dagang at home, and Sang Ning felt a sense of loss.
She asked Huo Jingya: "Where is your fourth brother?"
"Fourth brother..." Huo Jingya looked sad.
"News came from Yangguan that General Su was killed in battle. Fourth brother led the troops there."
Su Huiye...
Also dead.
Sang Ning covered his eyes and said, "Okay, Xiaofang, you don't have to lie to him anymore."
"Fourth sister-in-law, let me change the medicine for you. Lu Shishen has taught me."
"He left too?"
"No, Fourth Brother asked him to stay and prepare the antidote. He is now in the medicine shed at the city gate."
Sang Ning changed the medicine, drank two bowls of porridge, and then rushed to the medicine shed with Huo Jingya.
Huo Changan left behind a thousand people, and they all followed at this moment.
At the city gate.
A large group of people had dull expressions, shivering from the cold, and huddled together listlessly.
But there was nothing boiling in the big pot in front of the medicine shed.
Several doctors were arguing about something, their faces red.
Sang Ning came with a group of people, and the people began to react.
"Is she the goddess who told us to run that day?"
"She can conjure up chickens."
"I know her. She's Mrs. Sang. She used to sell porridge for a penny. It was delicious."
There was light in the eyes of the people, and they began to support each other to stand up.
"She was the one who came up with the idea for the honeycomb coal we use for heating. My relatives in Liuxia Village told me about it."
"Is she here to rescue us?"
"Goddess, help me——"
Someone started shouting.
Then the sound rose higher and higher in waves like flames blown by the wind.
"Goddess, what goddess? You might as well believe in God and send us the antidote and food now!"
A doctor, covering his mouth and nose with a face towel, cursed.
"There's a reason your place is poor. You're so ignorant!"
Then he turned around and saw Sonning striding towards him.
"I told you this place is a wilderness, but you didn't believe me. Look at what it looks like. A woman, with no hair, neither male nor female! Don't tell me you're a goddess!"
Sang Ning ignored him and looked at Lu Shishen who was not very energetic.
"What are you doing?"
"When discussing the antidote, they said, 'This is the epidemic, it's just spreading more slowly.' We should use a lot of mugwort to expel the poison, and then supplement it with coptis root, chuan magnolia bark, and white atractylodes...
But there is no medicine at all now. It cannot be found in many mountains, and all the clinics here are empty."
Lu Shishen was the youngest among them. He had just come out of the mountains. He was humble and lacked confidence, so these people did not take him seriously.
The other three doctors were brought back by Bai Yi to save the people.
"What do you think?" Sang Ning asked Lu Shishen.
"I think... it's not an epidemic, and it's not spreading. They've just been poisoned. However, Moon Spring is active water, and the toxins can no longer be detected, so it's impossible to determine what the poison is."
If they knew what the poison was, Lu Shishen felt that there was a high chance of making an antidote.
"What kind of poison?! Don't you see that their symptoms are all different? You've studied medicine for years, and you're showing off your skills here! It's hilarious!"
The doctor just now started shouting again, rolling his eyes at Lu Shishen with disdain.
Lu Shishen felt a little embarrassed.
Sang Ning looked at the remaining two people again: "What do you think?"
The two men were relatively low-key. They looked at the soldiers behind Sang Ning and spoke politely.
One of them also believed that the people of Western Liao had put colic poison in the water source.
Colic is cholera, which is an infectious disease.
He made this judgment because he saw many people suffering from diarrhea and were almost dying of exhaustion.
One person held the same view as Lu Shishen, believing that the disease was not contagious, but he still covered his mouth and nose and did not allow people to approach.
Sang Ning nodded. "It seems your medical skills are only so-so. Let me tell you, this is the seed of a plant similar to castor beans. It's highly poisonous and comes from Northern Mongolia, but it's not contagious."
According to Huo Jingya, this was what Yue Buyuan told the villagers, and the villagers had diarrhea because they ate grass that delayed the virus, and it was not caused by this toxin.
She took out a package and handed it to Lu Shishen.
It was the powder dug out from Xiaolian's stomach at that time.
"This is the poison. You are solely responsible for developing the antidote. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from Liangzhou City!"
Lu Shishen took the medicine bag eagerly. He didn't even worry about whether he would be poisoned.
The three doctors retreated in unison as if frightened.
Sonning laughed at them mockingly.
The arrogant doctor angrily said, "Where did you get this poison from? How do you know it won't spread?
If he lets a young man with no experience mess around and kills people, is he also fully responsible?"
Sang Ning looked at him sharply: "How about you take the responsibility? Will you bear the responsibility if the people die? Do you dare? If you dare, this job will be handed over to you, do you dare?"
"You... who are you? I was invited by County Magistrate Bai to—"
"Someone!" Sang Ning shouted, "Throw this arrogant and incompetent old man out of Liangzhou City!
Oh, by the way, shave off his head and beard, and see if he still says others are androgynous."
Two people immediately came up from behind and held the doctor.
He pulled out a machete and tore off the doctor's veil.
"How dare you! How dare you! I'm a doctor personally honored by the county magistrate. I've participated in the diagnosis and treatment of epidemics. No one here has comparable experience... Ah, my beard! General Li, General Li, help me!"
The old man went from being arrogant to being terrified and shouting for help.
The Li Junye he was talking about came forward and stopped him with a vigilant look on his face.
"The fourth wife of the Huo family, right? What do you mean? When will you be the master of Liangzhou City?"
"Who's in charge then?"
"Of course it's County Magistrate Bai!"
"Then let Bai Yi tell me!"
Sang Ning's face was full of frost as he returned the insults he had just hurled at the old doctor.
"So what if you're old, or if you've participated in epidemic diagnosis and treatment? Even if a pile of shit is piled up like a mountain, it's still shit even if it's placed in a golden bowl!
Only incompetent people rely on their past achievements to package themselves.
Here, I only look at real strength.
Unfortunately, you have been eliminated in the first round of testing.
Get out of Liangzhou City!"
