The person in my arms looked weak and looked like he could fall asleep at any moment.
The little girl tried hard to open her eyes, but she had no strength. All the strength in her body had already been drained away by the disease, and even her life was about to be drained away.
"Tuan Tuan, don't sleep. Tuan Tuan, my Tuan Tuan." The woman could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
When the woman was crying heartbrokenly, a hand suddenly reached out to her.
"Let the child go."
The woman was startled to see the young man followed by the government officials, looking at them in surprise.
"He is Doctor Xue. Let the child go quickly. Maybe Doctor Xue can still save her." When the woman heard his words, she hurriedly let the child go.
Xue Qian laid the child flat on her back and, using the method he had secretly learned from Bei Yutang, checked her pupils, pulse, and heartbeat. He finally confirmed that she had fainted, but her life was hanging by a thread, and she could die in her sleep at any moment.
"Bring the medicine here. The deepest box."
The yamen runner immediately brought the medicine, pried open Xiao Tuantuan's mouth, and poured the medicine into her mouth bit by bit.
When the other people in the yard heard that the man was Doctor Xue, they all came forward to ask for medicine.
In order to avoid chaos, the yamen runners drew their knives and forced everyone back.
"Everyone stay where you are and don't move. Everyone has medicine." said the bailiff.
These people all had smallpox when they were young and survived by chance. That's why they dared to enter here. No one dared to take even a single step in.
"I'm here today to tell you some good news," the yamen runner began. "The second-in-command of the Lei family will be arriving in Yanzhou Prefecture soon. She has a way to prevent smallpox, so your family won't have to worry about contracting it anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard showed joy. They had contracted smallpox, but they still hoped that their families would be spared. Now hearing this good news, how could they not be happy.
Of course, there are always surprises.
Some people were not very happy, "What does this have to do with us? She can only prevent it, but she can't cure us."
When the people in the yard heard his words, some fell silent, while others looked unhappy.
"How can you talk like that? The Second Master is so kind to us. He came all the way here when he heard we were in trouble. If it were you, would you come?"
"You really have no conscience. If you weren't the second-in-command, you would have starved to death long ago. How can you still have the energy to criticize her here?"
"That is, ungrateful."
A group of people confronted that person together, and they confronted him directly without him daring to say a word.
The bailiff wanted to join in the argument, but when he saw that someone else had already done it, he was too lazy to speak.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment."
"The medicine I'm distributing to you now was prepared by the Second in Command. It can control your condition."
The people in the courtyard who had lost hope in life, their eyes lit up after hearing these words.
"Is that true?"
"Are we still saved?"
"Can that medicine really control the disease?"
Countless people asked questions at the same time. They were so shocked that they couldn't even imagine it.
Whether in the Southern Tang Kingdom or other countries, anyone found to be infected with the plague was thrown into an isolation room and left to fend for themselves. If you survived, you were lucky; if you didn't, it was your fate.
Don’t even think about getting any decoctions or medicines, let alone anything else.
