"Humph." Chu San said to the village chief: "Village chief, since everyone wants to be with Chen Lin, then everyone should be together and don't separate."
"This..." The village chief was a little stunned, thinking that it would be difficult to arrange people, but when he saw Chu San's words, many people expressed their agreement. He thought about it and had to arrange Chen Lin in the largest main hall, and then distribute the others in.
Chu San glanced at Chen Lin, turned around and returned to the Chu family team, and arranged for them to stay in an empty house. It was a bit small, but at least only the family lived there, making it more convenient to do various things.
"Third brother, come here quickly and drink these medicines together. Jiaojiao told us to be more careful and not have too much contact with people, so as not to get sick. This epidemic is serious. I just saw many people in the city outside the clinic. It can be seen that although the news has not been exposed yet, the disease has not been controlled." Chu's mother was obviously observing carefully.
When Mrs. Chu Er and Mrs. Chu Da heard this, they both quickened their pace in boiling the medicine.
Big Brother Chu was stunned for a moment and asked, "The villagers don't know that my third brother and his wife were taken away because of the epidemic. Do we need to tell them?"
"Don't tell them yet." Mother Chu frowned and said, "Anyway, the epidemic can be cured. With Jiaojiao here, we don't have to worry. But if the news gets out and the people start to panic, then we really won't be able to leave."
"OK."
When the Chu family heard this, they no longer had any reason to hesitate, especially when they thought that Zhou Jiaojiao was fortunately in the prefectural government and there was no news yet, they did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, Zhou Jiaojiao, who they were worried about, was following Doctor Lin, Doctor Wang and others after passing the test of identifying medicinal materials and entering a side hospital.
As soon as they walked into the side yard, they saw doctors rushing back and forth and patients lying on stretchers. The conditions of these patients were serious. Even the moment the three of them walked in, they heard screams, followed by a patient making a weak breathing sound, and the next second, the person died with his head tilted.
Immediately afterwards, two yamen runners covered the dead body with a white cloth and carried it away. Their movements were quick and efficient, and it was obvious that they had done this countless times.
Zhou Jiaojiao saw it, but before the three of them could say anything, an old doctor rushed out. Seeing the three of them, his eyes subconsciously fell on Doctor Lin and Doctor Wang. "Are you here to help? Quick, follow me. The patients here are getting seriously ill. First, help give them acupuncture to stabilize their conditions, and then fill the pot over there with the medicine."
"Forget it, you two doctors go and see the patients. Little girl, you are an apprentice, right? Go and help give the medicine to the patient in the tent over there." The old doctor gave his instructions quickly and left.
Seeing so many patients, Dr. Lin was ready to help and couldn't help but look back at Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded to him and said, "Doctor Lin, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go give the patient some medicine."
"OK."
The three of them split into two groups. Zhou Jiaojiao went to the pot and saw soldiers boiling medicine next to it. She was a little surprised. Although there were garrisons in every state, it was rare to see a state where the soldiers had a good relationship with the people.
"I'm here to feed the patients." Zhou Jiaojiao, wearing a homemade cotton mask, told the soldier, who then filled a large pot for her. "The patients all have bowls nearby, so just use those."
Zhou Jiaojiao nodded, picked up the medicine pot, and walked towards the tent where the situation was serious. The tent was almost full of patients lying down. She fed medicine to these people one by one and took their pulses. As expected, it was an epidemic.
After Zhou Jiaojiao checked the situation in the place and was about to go out, she saw a seriously ill old man being dragged out by two soldiers.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Jiaojiao chased after them in two or three steps.
Two soldiers quickly put the person onto a cart parked outside.
"These people are seriously ill and cannot recover. They must be sent to a concentration center outside the city."
Zhou Jiaojiao understood that these people's conditions had already been abandoned. She had just seen a doctor and although their condition was serious, it was not incurable.
Zhou Jiaojiao no longer hesitated and walked towards the guard standing at the door.
"I want to see the prefect." Zhou Jiaojiao said.
"See the prefect? What do you want to do?" asked the guard commander.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't hide anything: "I know the prescription for the disease, and I need to discuss it with the prefect. Of course, if the person in charge here is not the prefect, someone else will do."
Perhaps because Zhou Jiaojiao was quite lucky, the guard commander did not doubt her words. Instead, he became excited and asked Zhou Jiaojiao to wait. He turned around and quickly arranged for someone to inform the prefect.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't have to wait long before she was brought before Lord Mo Congwu, the governor of Yuzhou.
"Are you the new doctor who said he could cure the plague?"
Zhou Jiaojiao noticed at a glance that the other person had a rough appearance on his beard, and he looked more like a military general than a civil servant.
"Sir Mo, yes." Zhou Jiaojiao nodded.
Mo Congwu glanced at her and said, "Are you serious? If you speak carelessly and delay the treatment, don't blame me for being rude."
Very good, he speaks in a very gruff voice.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't delay and took out the prescription directly. "This is my prescription for treating the epidemic. You can ask Doctor Lin and Doctor Wang who came with me to testify. Of course, there's also Master Li Hezhen who came to Yuzhou with me. His wife was sick with the epidemic and was cured with this prescription."
"As for why Lord Mo doubted me for knowing the recipe for curing the plague, it was naturally something I researched myself. After all, if anyone in the world had a way to cure the plague, they would have shared the recipe long ago and wouldn't have taken it from me."
Mo Congwu asked immediately, "Are you a good doctor?"
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't say anything nonsense. She started reciting various prescriptions. There were so many that Mo Congwu's eyes lit up instantly. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder: "What a talent!"
"Girl, you must stay and help me!"
Mo Congwu didn't even call himself "official". It was obvious that his mentality had changed. He almost hugged Zhou Jiaojiao and clung to her thighs.
Zhou Jiaojiao was startled by him and stepped back subconsciously, "Master Mo, please be careful, I am married."
"Hahaha, ma'am, you are right. I was too thoughtless. I will apologize to you right away." Mo Congwu was particularly straightforward and frank. He apologized as soon as the money was mentioned without any other thoughts.
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "Master Mo, let's get down to business. We have too many patients and can't afford to delay."
"Yes, that's right. I'll arrange for someone to organize the herbs right away!" Mo Congwu instantly became serious and gave orders immediately. Soon, soldiers came over and did things according to his orders.
Zhou Jiaojiao was going to see a patient, and Mo Congwu even put on a mask and followed Zhou Jiaojiao.
