Ning Xi'er handed Xue Lin a water bag containing spiritual spring liquid and electrolytes.
Xue Lin gratefully accepted the water pouch, then ran to inform the county magistrate and the registrar, instructing them to each take some before returning with the pouch.
Haitang and Aoxue quickly sprayed alcohol with a spray bottle to disinfect the scene.
Following Ning Xi'er's instructions, the guards disinfected the inside and outside of the tent, packed it up, and handed it over to the yamen runners so that it could be used by patients in centralized quarantine.
The deep pits of the latrines will be dug out, disinfected, burned, and buried.
The remaining supplies in the storage tents were loaded onto horses.
Because the carriage was filled with sealed alcohol and spiritual spring liquid, and the horses were also carrying supplies, Ning Xi'er and the others chose to walk into the city to lighten the horses' load.
Before setting off, Ning Xi'er had Haitang and Aoxue feed the horses clean hay and spiritual spring water that she had taken from her space.
The group slowly made their way into the city.
Xue Lin was kept behind by Ning Xi'er, who assumed she wanted him to accompany her and arrange some matters, so he didn't ask any questions...
until......
Upon reaching the main urban area, Ning Xi'er asked, "Lord Xue, where are your wife and daughter? Please take me there to see them!"
Xue Lin's eyes immediately turned red.
Heaven knows, he hasn't been home since General Zheng took him outside the city yesterday.
He was sent back to the city early yesterday morning. Instead of going home, he walked around the entire city to assess his latest condition...
Officials, yamen runners, and doctors were allowed to leave the city gates alone, sparking widespread public outrage, and he was busy dealing with it...
With no one else available, he and the county magistrate personally gathered the critically ill patients together in hopes of getting them treated as quickly as possible...
The current situation of his wife and daughter is unknown...
As the commanding officer, his abilities were limited. If it weren't for the princess's rescue, Yongning City would be filled with dead and wounded...
As a husband and father, he abandoned them and he feels utterly ashamed...
Xue Lin clenched his teeth and fists, clearly going through a fierce internal struggle.
Xue Lin did not stop walking.
After a moment, he calmed himself down and replied to Ning Xi'er, "Alright! Please come with me, Your Highness!"
The group did indeed arrive at the temple under Xue Lin's guidance.
Because it has the largest area, the monks can help take care of the patients, which are the most seriously ill in the city.
The doctors and assistants who were at the front returned to the clinic first, retrieved their medical tools and medicines, and then went to their assigned meeting points.
Because the patients in the temple were the most seriously ill and there were a large number of them, the doctors assigned to the temple were relatively authoritative and there were a slightly larger number of them.
They arrived before Ning Xi'er, bowed to her, and immediately began treatment.
Guided by Xue Lin, Ning Xi'er parked the carriage in an open space behind the mountain.
Hundreds of thousands of patients are waiting for her to administer streptomycin...
Even with so many medicines and syringes in her space, she couldn't administer them all by herself.
Therefore, Ning Xi'er added oral penicillin to the water tank containing the spiritual spring liquid and electrolytes, which could be dispensed quickly...
The healing and restorative effects of Lingquan Liquid, similar to those of penicillin, can prevent widespread deterioration of the condition...
This bought Ning Xi'er time, allowing her to focus on treating critically ill patients.
When adding penicillin, Ning Xier carefully searched the pharmacy in the medical space and was pleasantly surprised to find dried live plague vaccine.
Previously, because of treating Qin Yuan, she and Bai Zhi and others tested positive for plague bacteria, but the infection was mild.
Injecting streptomycin inhibits the rapid reproduction of bacteria, making it more effective.
However, the discovered live plague vaccine can control the disease within the city and then vaccinate healthy residents and those with a history of contact with the infected, reducing the subsequent infection rate.
Following Ning Xi'er's suggestion, Xue Lin summoned dozens of yamen runners to carry the spiritual spring liquid and medicine that Ning Xi'er had prepared to various quarantine points.
Haitang and Aoxue quickly directed the process, asking the yamen runners to carry a jar to the area below the temple, and reminding the servants of the dosage...
Afterwards, following the other guards, they delivered the spiritual spring liquid and medicine to other quarantine points to instruct on the dosage.
Seeing this, Ning Xi'er understood that Xue Lin had prioritized the chances of his wife and daughter being treated over those of other critically ill patients in the temple.
Ning Xi'er immediately went down the slope and saw that the main hall, side halls, and open ground were full of people, and pale-faced monks were feeding the patients the medicine that had just been carried down.
While the doctors were treating other seriously ill patients in the main hall, the clinic staff seized every opportunity to light a fire and prepare medicine.
Ning Xi'er glanced around, estimating the critically ill patients in the temple...
Xue Lin immediately noticed and pointed out, "It's not just these; the meditation rooms, the side rooms, and the back courtyard are all full of people lying down."
"A total of more than 5,000 people."
These people were all transferred in by Xue Lin personally, so he knew their numbers by heart.
Thanks to his careful arrangements, even though these patients are seriously ill, there have been no deaths so far.
No matter how many there are, the monks cannot take care of them all.
The temple originally had some herbs and pills that alleviated certain ailments.
Ning Xi'er immediately squatted down and began to administer an injection to the patient on the ground.
For a brief moment, with her long sleeves covering her face, even Xue Lin thought she was giving a patient acupuncture...
Ning Xi'er has already injected streptomycin into more than a dozen patients.
Just as she was concentrating, she suddenly heard the sound of weeping coming from the direction of the backyard.
A young novice monk, his lips pale, stumbled as he ran towards the main hall and Xue Lin.
"Something terrible has happened! Master..."
"The abbot has collapsed! Waaaaah..."
