"If you in Mocheng had listened and drank the potion earlier, how could such a serious epidemic have occurred now?"
Hearing the complaint in Qiu Yinong's words, Chi Min also remembered that not long ago, the county magistrate had told everyone to take the medicine according to the prescription and drink it to strengthen their bodies.
At that time, everyone thought that since they were healthy, there was no need to take medicine, so no one took it.
Now hearing this, Chi Min also regretted it very much.
He had just seen with his own eyes that the girl's medicine, after being dissolved in water, saved the sick refugees. He would never doubt what the girl said.
"I'll lead the way for you." Chi Min didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to kick open the wooden fence that blocked the road.
"Those who are not sick, come out quickly and prepare some water. Drinking it can prevent or cure the plague." Chi Min shouted loudly.
Soon, those who were not infected came out and were surprised to see the wooden fence kicked open.
Looking at those pale and thin faces, Chi Min felt very uncomfortable.
Soon someone came over with clean water. Qiu Yinong threw the pill in and said, "Everyone can drink some. Those of you who are not sick, go and share it with those who are sick."
"Don't fight over them. I have a lot of pills. If you're in serious trouble, please put them together in one place. I'll come and treat them together later."
"You're just a girl, what can you do? The plague has been going on for a while now, and all the doctors in our city can't do anything about it. You're just a woman..."
"Shut up!" Chi Min yelled at the old woman who retorted.
Qiu Yinong grabbed Chi Min and looked at those people: "You are all like this now, why are you willing to give it a try instead of refutating it here?"
"Once someone is infected, no one can escape. Now there is a hope before you, but you are unwilling to try. Then I can only say that it is your own choice and I respect your thoughts."
After saying that, Qiu Yinong got into the car and continued walking towards the back area.
"You really don't know what's good for you. So many patients outside the city have recovered after drinking this, and you are still doubting it. The man standing next to the carriage just now is the prince of the Duke of Jing of Great Chu."
"Why don't you offend anyone else?" Chi Min said unhappily, then he climbed onto the donkey's back and followed behind him.
The old woman was also frightened. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she muttered unwillingly, "I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Don't you think the same way?"
"Besides, who knew that he was the prince? Why would a prince drive a woman? If you didn't know, you would think he was a servant."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent again, and at the same time, an idea came to mind.
Yes, it is not right for a prince to drive a carriage for a woman, even if the man has great medical skills.
Could it be that this woman's identity is even more noble?
Obviously, everyone present thought of this and walked towards the water bucket, but they didn't dare to squeeze for fear of knocking it over.
By the time Qiu Yinong and the other two arrived in Xicheng, it was almost midnight.
Chi Min lit the torch. The place was dead silent and he didn't see his relatives in the third area. He was anxious.
The person was not found, which means the situation is serious and he was sent to Xicheng.
"Squeak..." Chi Min walked forward and pushed open the gate of a house. He heard that the county magistrate and his family were driven here.
"Is anyone there?" Chi Min shouted loudly. There was a foul smell everywhere in West City, and it was obvious that many people had died.
As soon as Chi Min pushed open the door of the main house, he saw a man lying on the ground.
He was also startled and went forward to feel his breath. Before his hand touched the person, a hand suddenly rose up and grabbed his wrist.
"Ah!" Chi Min was startled.
The torch almost fell.
Then the person lying on the ground opened his eyes. Because of his thinness, his eyes looked very big, and under the light of the torch in the dark night, they were really a little scary.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Chi Min was really scared.
Chu Hongyun also came in holding a torch and said, "Didn't he hold your hand? Didn't you feel the warmth?"
"Yeah, that's right." Chi Min felt the warmth from his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" The man glanced at the four people with an expressionless face.
Qiu Yinong raised her eyebrows after looking at him. He was another person who had developed antibodies on his own.
"Let me take your pulse first." Qiu Yinong squatted down and held his wrist regardless of his reluctance.
Seeing that she was a beautiful girl, the man did not want to struggle for fear of hurting the girl, so he let her take his pulse.
"You really have the antibodies, so you must be the magistrate of Mocheng County, right?" Qiu Yinong let go of her hand and stood back next to Chu Hongyun. She was not asking, but confirming.
The man raised his eyebrows, got up from the ground, and lit the candle in the room.
Chu Hongyun stuck the torch into the ground outside, while Chi Min went out to guard it with the torch.
"Please sit down."
The three of them didn't hesitate and sat down directly.
The man then sat down and said, "Little girl, how did you know that I was the county magistrate?"
"His demeanor and those wise eyes." Qiu Yinong praised the man.
The man smiled. She was a smart girl.
"I am indeed the useless county magistrate of Mocheng, Song Jieyong. I have not done what the young lady praised me for. The current state of Mocheng is also due to my dereliction of duty."
"Are you three doctors passing by?" Song Jieyong's face was full of guilt, but he was now imprisoned here and had just recovered not long ago.
He was still thinking about how to get out, but someone came in unexpectedly.
"Sir Song, the one on your left is the eldest son of Duke Jing. I don't know the other two either." Chi Min turned around and bowed in reply.
When Song Jieyong heard this, he was so frightened that he stood up and knelt down to salute.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It is the lower officials who are rude."
"Lord Song, please get up and talk quickly. We are here because of the epidemic in Mo City." Jing Xu stood up and helped Song Jieyong up.
Song Jieyong frowned slightly: "My Lord, the plague in Mo City is so serious, you really shouldn't have come."
Qiu Yinong then asked, "Has Lord Song taken any medicine before?"
Song Jieyong looked at Qiu Yinong and nodded. "I drank the medicine on the prescription sent by the prefect, but two of the herbs were missing at the time. The pharmacist gave me two other herbs with similar properties."
"No wonder you got sick after drinking the potion. But it's a blessing in disguise. Not only did you survive, but you also developed antibodies."
Only then did Qiu Yinong understand why the previous few also had antibodies. Perhaps it was because they drank the potion with changed medicinal ingredients, which caused them to become sick again and form antibodies.
"Then the medicinal ingredients in the prescription cannot be replaced?" Song Jieyong was also stunned, and then reacted.
"The girl is so familiar with this prescription, is it possible?"
Jing Xu smiled and nodded, "Master Song is right. The medicine that was passed down was made by this sister of mine."
"Your humble servant greets the Princess of Changping County." Song Jieyong knelt again. This man was indeed smart and intelligent.
