Chapter 688 The Antidote Arrives
The moment he said this, Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xu Miaomiao beside him. Feeling a burning gaze, Xu Miaomiao immediately lowered her head and hid behind Song Wushao. Song Wushao naturally noticed their actions and took a step forward, approaching Nangong Jin: "You shouldn't say this to me. Go back and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Nangong Jin looked at Song Wushao and immediately stepped forward to confront him. He looked at him with a little dissatisfaction and said, "Some things are not something you, a small official, can argue about."
Song Wu Shao tilted his head and smiled: "It's up to your own conscience. If Nangong Xianggong really had no doubts, he wouldn't have come to Bai County in person."
"Shut up and stop trying to defame His Highness!"
Nangong Jin's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and his eyes were full of anger. Xu Miaomiao had an idea in her mind, and immediately stood in front of Song Wushao, and said hurriedly: "Now that everything has been explained clearly today, we will leave first. As long as we have the fish grass, I can get the antidote. Nangong, we will take our leave first."
After Xu Miaomiao finished saying this, she immediately took Song Wushao's hand and left in a hurry. Nangong Jin behind her still maintained the same posture as before, but with a little more smile on his face as he looked at the two people leaving, as if he was mocking himself, and kept his head down and said nothing.
Xu Miaomiao pulled Song Wushao out in a hurry. Song Wushao behind him smiled softly, but Xu Miaomiao heard it. She simply stepped forward, stared at Song Wushao and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Song Wushao raised his head and touched Xu Miaomiao's hair without saying a word.
Xu Miaomiao became even angrier: "Do you know that Nangong Jin is very powerful? He is loyal to the prince, and you dare to say that? What if he gets close to you?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Song Wu Shao reached out and grabbed Xu Miaomiao's waving fingers, smiled at her, and pulled her towards home.
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly and followed Song Wushao back home.
"How is it going? Has Mr. Nangong found the antidote?"
Gu Yuan's mother was coaxing Nian Miao while looking at Xu Miaomiao, and Xu Qingshan next to her also came over curiously.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "I just don't know how long they can hold on. Liu Niang, boil all the medicine we prepared, set up a stall at the door, and distribute them. Now everyone has a patient at home, but they may not be able to buy medicine. Let's do something."
"Okay." Gu Yuanniang nodded slightly.
She also agreed with Xu Miaomiao's opinion. They didn't do this before because Feng Feng had come and could kill people at will, not to mention what they were doing because Song Wushao had not returned yet, so they couldn't be too conspicuous. But now, not only has Song Wushao returned, but he is also here and will definitely not stop them.
When the stall at the door was just set up, there were only two or three people coming to take a look, but slowly a long line formed.
Xu Miaomiao said as she held the medicine: "Everyone, this is not an antidote, but it can make people's condition better. Those who have parents and children at home, please come forward first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him rushed forward and surrounded the place. Xu Miaomiao patiently shook bowls of medicine, and Gu Yuanniang next to her was also arranging the order.
A little Si was crowded with the people in front of him, and he leaned close to Xu Miaomiao's ear and whispered, "Madam Xu, my husband has got the antidote."
Xu Miaomiao paused while shaking the hand holding the antidote: "Really?"
Xiao Si nodded confidently: "It will be delivered immediately."
"That's great. The people of Bai County should all thank your husband."
"My husband said that he is an official and doing this is just his duty. There is no need to do this. If Madam Xu wants to thank someone, she should thank her for her excellent medical skills."
After saying that, Xiao Si turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao paused while shaking her hands. What these words meant was that Xu Miaomiao was asked to be the good person. Did Nangong Jin also know about the difficulties she had faced before?
Without any extra time to think, Xu Miaomiao packed up the things in front of her and returned to the house.
Looking at the herbs piled up all over the yard, Xu Miaomiao smiled.
"Miao Miao, with these things, should it be enough for the people here to survive?"
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao smiled with the corners of her mouth bent, but still lowered her head a little sadly: "It's just a pity that I'm afraid that more than half of the people who can't get the antidote are gone."
"That's why we have to hurry up."
"You are right."
Listening to Gu Yuanniang's words, Xu Miaomiao looked back at her and nodded respectfully. It was precisely because there was no time left that they had to work harder to survive this disaster.
After writing the letter to the pharmacy, the medicine was made into pills because they had to be delivered to each house. Xu Miaomiao, Gu Yuanniang and the others did not have a good rest that night.
After finishing the things, he immediately hurried outside.
Several people also dispersed and began to distribute the antidote.
The first house Xu Miaomiao went to was the family that had previously asked her to see a doctor. The sick person was his mother.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao coming, the man immediately stood up.
After just a few days of not seeing the man, he looked haggard, with dense red spots all over his body. It seemed that he had also contracted the disease: "Madam Xu, your medicine has controlled the disease very well, but it's a pity that I'm afraid we can't use it."
As the man said this, he looked at his mother lying on the bed. The woman was dying and gasping for breath, and it looked like every breath was in great pain.
Xu Miaomiao immediately took out the pill in her hand and said, "I'm here to give you the antidote."
“Antidote!”
The man who was already somewhat discouraged suddenly cheered up: "Madam Xu, you really found it."
The man was holding the antidote in Xu Miaomiao's hand, and he spoke in disbelief, but Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Quickly turn it into water and give it to your mother to take."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The man put the thing into his mouth as if he were eating a candy pill, then immediately looked at the woman next to him and got some water to feed her.
Then he looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears in his eyes and knelt on the ground: "Madam Xu, I really have no way to repay your kindness. If it weren't for the medicine you prescribed, my mother might not have survived until now. It is because of you that our family can survive. You stood up during the previous plague, but I didn't expect you to be like this again. I know I can't repay you."
Xu Miaomiao immediately helped the man up and said, "I used to be a doctor, and it's my duty to help people. You guys have a good rest, I'm going to the next one."
