Chapter 203 Welcome
Wuhua gave the medicine to Songyan and left.
Pei Yunzhan sat there, motionless, as if his soul had been sucked out, leaving only an empty shell.
Songyan held his chin in his hand and was worried.
Could it be that I can't bear the blow and am scared silly?
If you bring a fool back home, won’t the old master and the old lady skin him alive and feed him to the dogs?
Or else he could take advantage of the chaos in Hezhou and become a refugee?
But his parents and sister are still in Pei Mansion...
As I was lost in thought, my master suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Tell me the truth, what happened after I fell unconscious due to a high fever?"
Songyan: “…”
"Master, let's just let the past go with the wind."
Pei Yunzhan said with a cold face: "If you don't explain it clearly, you will have to copy the Book of Rites for me three hundred times."
Songyan: “…”
You are courting death, don't blame me later.
He then told her in detail how he helped him get out of the car to relieve himself, how he had defecated on him again and again, how he had borrowed water from Feng, and how Feng had confirmed that he was infected with dysentery.
Although Pei Yunzhan had some guesses, his eyes still darkened after hearing Song Yan's words.
Almost fainted.
Songyan comforted him, "Don't worry, Master. When Feng saw you, you were lying by the tree, your clothes were clean and tidy, there was absolutely nothing wrong with you."
Pei Yunzhan: "There's just a pile of filth sitting on it, and a bunch of filthy clothes are thrown around it. It stinks so bad it could kill you, right?"
Songyan: "Uh..."
"Go away, I want some quiet time."
Pei Yunzhan said with a numb expression.
The pine smoke remained motionless.
"Master, we are under quarantine. I can't go anywhere."
Pei Yunzhan: “…”
He remained silent from then on, not saying a word whether he was taking medicine or eating.
Stay in the carriage every day.
I don't want to see anyone.
Until Feng Qingsui came for a follow-up visit.
"Your condition has improved and you can be released from isolation. Remember to pay attention to your diet in the future."
After Feng Qingsui finished the diagnosis, he gave instructions.
Pei Yunzhan's eyes were blank, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
He clenched his fists in his sleeves again and again, and finally managed to say something as Feng Qingsui was about to leave: "Thank you, Doctor Feng, for saving my life. I will never forget it."
Feng Qingsui chuckled: "Master Pei, there's no need to be polite. It's just my job."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Master Pei."
"If Lord Pei hadn't fallen ill so quickly, we wouldn't have been able to detect the spread of dysentery in time. This dysentery is extremely hidden. If it had been dormant for three to five days, who knows how many people would have been infected."
Pei Yunzhan's face turned pale and blue.
The reason why he fell ill so quickly was because he was sleeping outdoors and didn't eat well.
Is Feng pointing at him?
Feng Qingsui had no intention of ridiculing him; he was simply speaking the truth.
Because the dysentery was discovered in time, only a few people and horses were infected, and the disaster relief team was able to preserve its strength, which was indeed a good thing.
And with the experience of dealing with the situation, the medical officers were not in a panic when they arrived outside Yunhuai County and encountered many refugees infected with dysentery.
The refugees were originally crowded at the city gate, confronting the soldiers guarding the city wall.
Seeing the imperial envoy leading the soldiers arriving in a mighty force, they were overjoyed and rushed to the disaster relief team.
"It's the Imperial Envoy! We are saved!"
"My Lord! Magistrate Hu has strictly closed the city gates, expelled the refugees, and refused to give away even a grain of food. My Lord, you must execute this bastard!"
"Sir, please save my father. He has been having bloody stools all day..."
…
A row of arrows shot neatly and obliquely onto the ground in front of the refugee in front.
The refugees all stopped.
"The elderly, children, women and infants line up on the left, the young and strong line up on the right, the injured and sick lie down on the roadside. Within one stick of incense, those who do not form a team will be expelled from the disaster relief group."
Ji Changqing said loudly.
"Those who push and shove and cause trouble will be treated as mobs."
The refugees were immediately stunned and hurriedly lined up as he said.
Ji Changqing immediately ordered people to cook porridge and boil water, and asked the medical officers to treat the injured and sick patients. In the blink of an eye, the chaotic situation became neat and orderly.
Standing on the city wall, the pot-bellied middle-aged man looked down at the scene with his eyes flashing slightly.
He immediately turned around and went down the city wall.
After a while, the city gate opened with a click.
The middle-aged man led a large group of people out of the door quickly.
"Hu Huwei, the magistrate of Yunhuai County, pays his respects to the Prime Minister."
"By the grace of Heaven, you have sent your Excellencies to lead the soldiers of the capital to provide relief, which is truly a blessing for the people of Yunhuai."
"On behalf of the people of the entire county, I respectfully wish His Majesty the best of health."
After saying this, they all knelt on the ground.
Ji Changqing rode up to them at a slow pace and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you open the warehouses to provide relief to the victims?"
Magistrate Hu looked up and said with shame, "It's not that I'm unwilling to open the granaries to provide disaster relief. It's because the granaries were looted and burned by bandits, and now they're in ruins. The people in the city have limited food reserves, so it's difficult for me to offer a helping hand."
"Because Lin County allowed refugees to enter the city for aid, bandits among the refugees burned, killed, and looted, and they took over the city."
"I am afraid that the lives of the people in the city are in danger, so I have no choice but to keep the refugees out of the city."
Ji Changqing stared at him for a while, then said slowly, "Get up."
"Thank you, sir!"
County Magistrate Hu led a group of county officials to get up from the ground.
"Sir, please enter the city."
Ji Changqing said calmly, "It won't be too late to enter the city after the victims have something to eat."
County Magistrate Hu said hurriedly, "Your Excellency is right."
When the aroma of wheat rice wafted out of the iron pot, the victims couldn't help swallowing their saliva and looked at the boiling rice pot with eager eyes.
When the wheat rice was cooked, it was distributed to them. They put it in their mouths without caring about the heat.
After Feng Qingsui and the other medical officers had examined the wounded and sick patients, they also checked the pulses of the other refugees one by one and isolated those who might have been infected with dysentery.
"We will provide hot water 24 hours a day. Everyone must use the hot water and are not allowed to drink raw water privately."
While taking the refugees' pulses, they explained everything one by one.
"To use the toilet, everyone must go to the toilet and not urinate or defecate anywhere. Violators will be treated as intentionally spreading the disease."
Pei Yunzhan has not yet fully recovered and does not need to participate in relief efforts.
He sat in the carriage, watching from afar his busy colleagues and Feng who was meticulously and carefully treating the patients.
Thinking of his earlier sarcastic remarks about Feng, his face felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face, and it was burning with pain.
It turned out that he was the one who came here to "enjoy the scenery".
After being burned by shame for a while, he recalled the scene when he first met Feng. Feng left the seriously injured woodcutter and his wife to die and went to treat the rich young man. For the first time, doubts flashed through his mind.
Could it be that the rich young man was really more seriously injured than the woodcutter and his wife?
Just then, Judge Fang came towards his carriage. He stopped him and asked, "Master Fang, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
He described the situation at that time.
Judge Fang stroked his beard and said, "When struck, some people injure their limbs, while others injure their internal organs. The latter may not react for a while, and by the time symptoms appear, it's too late to recover."
After listening to this, Pei Yunzhan remained silent for a long time.
