Chapter 202 Dysentery
On that day, the disaster relief team entered Hezhou from Yanzhou and stopped for lunch in a field outside Wen County.
Pei Yunzhan didn't notice anything wrong in the morning, but now he shivered inexplicably.
"Give me a cloak."
He had to order Songyan.
Songyan came in after lifting the curtain, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in surprise, "Master, what do you want a cloak for?"
It's so hot today that I'm sweating even if I wear a thin shirt. Wouldn't I be so hot that I'll die if I wear a coat?
Pei Yunzhan said: "I'm a little cold."
Songyan: “!!!”
He quickly reached out and touched his master's forehead.
"Master, you have a fever. I'll go get you a doctor right away."
After saying that, he turned around and got off the carriage.
He specially asked the medical officer leading the disaster relief team, Fang Yuanpan from the Imperial Hospital, to come and treat his master.
After the doctor finished his diagnosis, he said, "It's typhoid fever."
He then wrote a prescription, had someone gather the herbs, and told Songyan: "Boil three bowls of water into one bowl, and drink one dose each morning, noon, and evening."
After expressing his gratitude, Songyan hurriedly set up the charcoal stove to boil the medicine.
After boiling the medicine, he poured it out and let it cool to a slight temperature. When he wanted to call his master to drink the medicine, he found that he had fallen asleep.
"Master, drink the medicine before going to sleep."
He helped the man up from the couch and called out softly.
Pei Yunzhan felt sore all over and had a headache. He didn't even have the strength to sit up straight.
Songyan had no choice but to feed him with a spoon.
After taking the medicine, Pei Yunzhan fell into a deep sleep until he woke up with severe abdominal pain.
"...Stop the car, I need to use the restroom."
He covered his abdomen and spoke weakly.
“Hurry up…”
Songyan immediately asked the driver to stop, and with great effort helped his master, who was like a puddle of mud, to his feet, and walked towards the bushes by the roadside.
As soon as he walked behind the bushes, before he had time to undress his master, he smelled a foul odor.
I was stunned.
Oh my god.
The master actually pulled it on me!
Wouldn't you kill him to silence him later?
With this pause, the master's strength in his hands faltered, and he fell to the ground and fainted again.
He wiped his sweat and said to himself, "When I wake up, I probably won't remember what happened, right?"
After saying that, he hurried back to the car to get a change of clothes, water and towels to clean and change clothes for his master.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished my work, a fresh stench hit me.
( ＿ ).
Well, it was all in vain.
He went back to the car with a gloomy face to get his clothes.
But there is not enough water.
He didn't know where to find water nearby, so he had to wave his hand to stop a car.
A big black donkey stopped in front of him.
Without having time to think about whose car it was, he asked, "Sir, we are in urgent need of water. Could you lend us some?"
As the voice fell, the car curtain opened and a familiar face appeared before him.
"What happened to you adults?"
Songyan never expected that the car he stopped was the car of the person his master disliked the most. He was speechless and couldn't answer a word.
Feng Qingsui had already smelled a strange odor and frowned, "Does your master have diarrhea?"
Songyan: “…”
"How many times did you have diarrhea?"
Feng Qingsui asked.
"Have you ever seen the doctor?"
Song Yan came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Our adults don't have diarrhea, it's the children..."
"Do you know what the crime of concealing the epidemic is?"
Feng Qingsui's face darkened.
"Tell the truth!"
Song Yan was frightened by her and couldn't help but speak incoherently: "I had diarrhea twice. I asked the judge to see me and he said it was a cold. No, it's not diarrhea, it's a high fever..."
Feng Qingsui's expression suddenly changed.
"Where is he?"
The pine smoke pointed to the bushes not far away.
After pointing, he saw Feng get off the carriage and walk towards the bushes, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Could it be that Doctor Feng is going to visit their master in person?!
I've made such a fool of myself, and outsiders have seen me. I'm going to kill him when I get home.
"Doctor Feng, please stay!"
He hurried after him.
"Your master may have contracted dysentery."
Feng Qingsui said without even turning his head.
What? !
Songyan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Dysentery?
How could it be possible...
Recalling his master's illness, his face turned pale.
Feng Qingsui had seen Pei Yunzhan and asked him about his illness. He confirmed, "He is indeed infected with dysentery."
Song Yan stammered, "But, but our grandfather has never had contact with anyone else, and neither has I..."
How could I get infected with dysentery for no apparent reason?
"Maybe I ate something unclean."
Feng Qingsui said.
Then he asked about Pei Yunzhan's diet in the past few days.
Song Yan said with a gloomy face, "Our master doesn't have much of an appetite. He only eats one or two bites of each meal, which is prepared by the cook. He drinks mostly green tea..."
After listening to this, Feng Qingsui asked, "Did he drink the tender soup?"
Songyan nodded: "Our grandfather is very particular about the water temperature when making tea. He always uses half-boiling water for green tea. He says that the tea brewed this way will be tender."
Feng Qingsui: "I think he got dysentery from drinking tender soup."
Songyan: “?!”
"Before we set out, Lord Ji issued an order that we must not eat anything other than cooked food, and must not drink anything other than boiling water."
Feng Qingsui said coldly.
"Your master has ignored everything, hasn't he?"
Songyan: “…”
"But our grandfather uses snow water to make tea."
He said weakly.
"We brought it specially from the capital this morning. The snow water ran out, so Master asked me to get some mountain spring water. The water is very clean. I even fed it to the horses, and they are fine..."
As the voice fell, a foul smell came from the roadside.
He turned his head immediately.
He saw the two horses tied in front of his carriage running out wildly, spraying the coachman in the face.
“!!!”
Feng Qingsui said with a stern face, "Everyone in your car, including the carriage, stay where you are."
After saying that, he said to Wuhua, "Master Ji, please come over here."
Just as he finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind him.
"Why are you looking for me?"
It was Ji Changqing who was riding over on horseback.
Feng Qingsui reported to him that Pei Yunzhan had contracted dysentery, and concluded by saying, "The spring water is very likely to have been poisoned. We must send someone to investigate."
He added, “Maybe someone else fed the horses with that mountain spring water.”
Ji Changqing nodded: "I understand."
He then ordered Yan Chi to turn back and check the mountain spring that Song Yan mentioned.
He also ordered the march to be suspended and to track down the people and horses who had come into contact with the mountain spring water.
All those who have been in contact will be quarantined.
Not long after, Yan Chi reported back, "The spring was clogged with several pairs of trousers stained with pus and blood, and a sack of feces."
Hearing this, Song Yan: Σ(°△°|||)︴
When I wake up, will I kill him first or vomit to death myself?
Pei Yunzhan's high fever subsided the next day and he regained consciousness. He learned that Fang Yuanpan had made a misdiagnosis and that it was Feng who prescribed the medicine to save him. He was speechless for a long time.
"How did she know I was sick?"
After a moment of silence, he asked Songyan.
Songyan: “…”
“This, that…”
Before he could come up with an excuse, Wuhua, who had come to deliver the medicine, said, "You're pooping non-stop on the roadside, the stench is unbearable. Who wouldn't know you're sick?"
With a "click".
The calm expression on Pei Yunzhan's face broke.
