Zhang Xiaoquan led her directly to a courtyard.
"Miss Luo, this is where we rest. It's in the middle of the street, close to both sides."
As he spoke, he pointed to the doctors and called out to them:
"Everyone, come here for a moment and greet Miss Luo."
The doctors all glanced at them with disdain, but under the intimidation of Zhang Xiaoquan's gaze, they reluctantly approached Luo Zhiwan and bowed to her.
Luo Zhiwan knew that these people were all senior doctors who had practiced medicine for many years and believed they had a lot of skills.
The city lord had entrusted this young girl with managing them, so they were naturally not convinced. Therefore, their eyes were filled with contempt and dissatisfaction.
"Officer Zhang, you've thought this through very well. Let's go see the patient now!"
As she spoke, Luo Zhiwan adjusted her mask, nodded to Zhang Xiaoquan and the doctor waiting there, and then turned and left.
Although the doctors all looked lazy, they didn't dare to be negligent and reluctantly followed them out.
Once on the street, she turned around, pointed to the gates guarded by officials, and instructed the doctors:
"We split up now, working in pairs, to check the symptoms of these patients, registering and recording their names, ages, and main symptoms. Thank you all for your hard work."
She knew that the doctors were unhappy with her instructions, so she should be more polite in her speech.
But even after she finished speaking, the doctors stood there with cold faces, showing no intention of listening.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoquan frowned, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, loudly reminding him:
"Everyone, didn't you hear what Miss Luo said? If anyone doesn't want to do it, go talk to the city lord directly, don't stand here in the way."
As soon as he said this, the doctors swallowed hard and nodded in agreement. Then, they went in pairs to different courtyards.
Luo Zhiwan helplessly spread her hands towards Zhang Xiaoquan.
"Officer Zhang, thank goodness you're here."
Zhang Xiaoquan quickly shook his head.
"Miss Luo, please don't mind them. They are used to being lazy, and you are not a doctor yourself. The city lord entrusted you with such an important task, so they are resentful. Please don't take it to heart."
"How could that be? The most important task now is to cure these patients. Nothing else matters. Let's go over there."
After saying that, she stepped forward, and Zhang Xiaoquan quickly followed.
She spent the entire day taking notes for patients and didn't even have time for lunch.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoquan couldn't help but remind him,
"Miss Luo, after you've finished checking this courtyard, go back and have something to eat! You haven't eaten all day."
“I’m not hungry. These patients are too sick to eat, and I’m not in the mood to eat either. Now we need to control the spread of this plague to the smallest possible extent.”
"The city lord said that if this plague can be brought under control in time, you will be credited with it."
"I don't seek merit, I just want to avoid mistakes."
After saying that, she suddenly realized that her actions could easily arouse suspicion.
For example, she acquired a large amount of medicinal herbs in advance, and she also had the city lord seal off the city ahead of time.
She would really have to explain all this to Lord Xie and her family after the plague was over.
She and the other doctors quickly registered all the patients. Holding a thick stack of books, she instructed Zhang Xiaoquan:
"Make the arrangements. From now on, each person will be responsible for a courtyard. New patients must be registered first, and their symptoms must be written down. People with the same symptoms should ideally be placed in the same courtyard to avoid cross-infection. This will also allow me to administer medication promptly. Now, send a few people with me to get the medication. Not only must these people take their medication as prescribed, but patients must also maintain social distancing and avoid causing a disturbance together."
"Don't worry, Miss Luo. The city lord has already given instructions on these matters. The patients are all in relatively stable condition now. However, as more and more patients are brought in, they inevitably become a little anxious. So, we'll sort the new patients according to their symptoms. Anyway, we have plenty of courtyards available."
"That's good. It's getting late. Come with me to get the medicine, and then instruct the doctors in charge of each courtyard to give it to them on time."
"good."
After Zhang Xiaoquan agreed, he waved to the guards standing at the door, and several men came over.
"Go catch the carriage, take Miss Luo back, and get her medicine from the Luo family's pharmacy."
"yes."
After the official received his orders and withdrew, Luo Zhiwan then instructed Zhang Xiaoquan:
"The city lord sent you to liaise with me, so you must have some special skills. In the next few days, I hope we can work together to serve these patients and help them get rid of their suffering as soon as possible."
Zhang Xiaoquan nodded in agreement.
“Miss Luo, plague is the most terrible and fastest-spreading disease. If it weren’t for your reminder to the adults to seal off the city in time and reduce the losses, the plague would probably have spread out of Phoenix City by now, and it would have been much harder to control. So, you deserve a lot of credit for controlling it so well.”
"Officer Zhang, you flatter me. I was merely offering a suggestion; in the end, it was the City Lord who was truly wise."
While they were chatting, the official had already brought the carriage over. He gestured for Luo Zhi to get into the carriage, then took the reins from the official, mounted the horse, and led the way, heading straight for Yanglin Street.
She took the medicine according to the number of people and their symptoms, and instructed Zhang Xiaoquan to give it to them on time.
