263. Everything is getting better.
But Shenyang Nong couldn't understand. He wanted to speak, but Xie Wenling stopped him: "As long as she can cure it, she can call me whatever she wants."
Lin Fu nodded and continued, "It can be cured. As long as the dosage is followed, the symptoms will be relieved within three days and the patient will be fully recovered in seven days."
Without further hesitation, Xie Wenling immediately instructed the guards beside her: "Select five critically ill patients immediately and let her administer the medicine herself. Also, send two people to guard the door to record any changes in the patients' conditions and report any situation immediately."
The guard obeyed and left, while Lin Fuman followed Shen Yangong toward the intensive care unit.
As she passed the city gate, she took a special look.
The body that had been hanging there had been taken down, and the ground had been cleaned up, with only the remaining bloodstains reminding her of what had happened.
Upon arriving at the intensive care unit, five patients lay in bed, their faces ashen, their breathing weak, and some had even fallen into a coma.
Lin Fuman took a deep breath, took out the test tube and syringe, and explained the disinfection steps to Shen Yangong while drawing up the medicine: "Before injection, you must disinfect the skin with strong liquor, and the syringe must also be boiled to sterilize it to avoid secondary infection. The dosage should be adjusted according to the patient's age and weight. Adults take one syringe at a time, and children take half the dose..."
Shenyang Nong took notes carefully, nodding occasionally to confirm.
After personally administering the injection to the patient, Lin Fuman instructed the medical worker beside her: "Take the patient's temperature every two hours after the injection, record the number of coughs and vomitings, and tell me immediately if there are any abnormalities."
On the evening of the first day, the first patient who received the injection woke up. Although he was still very weak, he was able to speak.
The next day, all five patients had their fevers subside and were able to eat small amounts.
On the third day, the elderly man who was in the most serious condition was able to sit up and even get out of bed and walk slowly.
Although Xie Wenling was extremely busy, he still came here to inspect the area every day.
Five patients sat around the bed. Although their faces were still a little pale, they were all much more energetic and were talking in hushed tones.
Upon seeing Xie Wenling enter, they quickly stood up to offer their greetings, but Xie Wenling stopped them by raising his hand.
He walked up to the old man and asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Much better! Thank you, sir, thank you, Miss Lin!" The old man's voice trembled with excitement. "I thought I was going to die, but I never expected this medicine to be so effective. Now I can eat and walk, just like I was never sick!"
The other patients echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Xie Wenling nodded, then turned to look at Lin Fuman and said approvingly, "Well done."
After leaving the intensive care unit, Xie Wenling immediately gave the order: "Pass on my command to post notices in the streets and alleys of Qiuhe City immediately, saying that Lin Fuman has brought a miraculous medicine that can cure the plague. All the people who are infected can be treated for free, without worrying about the cost or safety."
"In addition, we should have people bring the recovered patients to the street so that everyone can see the effects of the medicine and dispel their concerns."
"Wait a minute," Lin Fuman suddenly called out, stopping the guard.
She looked at Xie Wenling and said seriously, "We need to add a few sentences to the notice: This medicine was developed by Xiaoyueliang. I was entrusted by her to bring the medicine to save the people of Qiuhe City."
Xie Wenling paused for a moment, then understood what she meant.
She's trying to claim credit for it.
The little dumpling is the county magistrate of Fukang County, with an excellent reputation. Attributing the credit to her will not only make the people trust the medicine more, but also enhance her prestige.
Therefore, he wouldn't refuse, nor would he have any reason to: "Okay. I'll write it as you say."
-
After the notice was posted, the people of Qiuhe City were initially skeptical, but they were completely convinced when they saw several recovered patients walking around on the street, and some even showed their previous symptoms and current condition.
Lin Fuman and Shen Yangong led the medical staff in working around the clock, injecting patients with medication during the day and teaching the medical staff how to make simple disinfection equipment and explaining the precautions for using medication at night.
Xie Wenling was busy allocating supplies and arranging soldiers to maintain order, ensuring that every patient could receive treatment.
A few days later, the plague in Qiuhe City was effectively controlled, with fewer and fewer new cases and more and more people recovering.
The people are filled with gratitude when they mention Xiao Tuanzi, Lin Fuman, and Xie Wenling.
Many people put up portraits of the three of them on their doors and worship them morning and evening.
Every day, people delivered homegrown vegetables and grains to Lin Fuman and Xie Wenling.
Everything is getting better.
-
The improved sled team finally arrived.
A dozen sleds were lined up in the snow, piled high with medicinal herbs, grain and cotton clothing. The northern dogs pulling the sleds were full of energy, and the soldiers escorting them looked tired but could not hide their excitement at completing the mission.
It really worked!
Xie Wenling rushed to the city gate to meet them.
Upon seeing Xie Wenling, the general in charge of escorting the supplies quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Lord Xie, I have successfully completed my mission! The first batch of supplies sent by the imperial court has been safely delivered, and several more batches will arrive in succession. In addition, Princess Fukang has entrusted me to deliver a letter to you and Miss Lin Fuman."
Xie Wenling was the first to receive the letter and put it away.
The arrival of supplies completely improved the situation in Qiuhe City.
With sufficient medicinal herbs, Lin Fuman and Shenyang Nong were able to treat patients more quickly.
As the grain and cotton clothing were distributed, the people's complaints decreased, and smiles gradually returned to their faces.
Previously strictly controlled entry and exit are now being allowed for people to enter and exit with health certificates.
Fewer and fewer patients remained, until only a few were still in the recovery period.
The restrictions were gradually lifted.
Everyone was released, including the county magistrate.
That morning, the county magistrate, who had been confined to the county government office, was finally released.
As soon as he left the county government office, he hurried to Xie Wenling's residence, constantly adjusting his clothes and expression to make sure a fawning smile appeared on his face.
After all, he knew he had dragged the team down, and he was already panicking, fearing that Xie Wenling would hold him accountable.
Xie Wenling is discussing and arranging the final touches with Shenyang Nong and Lin Fuman.
After hearing the magistrate's request for an audience, he agreed to see him.
After the magistrate entered, he quickly bowed and said in a fawning tone, "Thank you, Your Excellency. You are very magnanimous. I was confused before and failed to cooperate with your work in time. Please forgive me this time."
Xie Wenling sat in the chair, holding official documents in his hand, without even raising his head.
Shenyang Nong spoke coldly on his behalf: "It's good that you know you're wrong. In the days to come, cooperate with our work and restore order to Qiuhe City. If anything goes wrong again, you know the consequences yourself."
"Yes, yes, yes! This humble official will certainly cooperate fully!" The magistrate hurriedly agreed, then turned to look at Lin Fuman standing to the side and bowed, "Miss Lin, you are truly the savior of Qiuhe City! If it weren't for the miraculous medicine you brought, the people of Qiuhe City would have suffered so much more!"
Lin Fuman simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
This was her first time meeting the county magistrate, but she had already heard about his deeds before the meeting.
She really didn't have a good impression of this county magistrate who had previously tried to abandon his patients and kept making foolish decisions.
Seeing that neither of them reacted, the magistrate became a little flustered and quickly said, "My lord, young lady, I have been reflecting on my actions during the time I was confined to my quarters."
"For example... to thank you both and the Lady of Fukang for saving the people of Qiuhe City, I have specially arranged a play!"
"I plan to put on a show on the stage in the city in the next few days, so that the people will remember the kindness of you two and the Lady of Fukang County."
Xie Wenling raised his eyes but remained silent.
Shenyang Nong, who was standing nearby, thought the plan was good.
The people of Qiuhe City had just experienced a calamity and were still somewhat uneasy, so they needed some entertainment to relax.
So he nodded and added, "It's fine, but there's no need for extravagance. Just focus your energy on restoring people's livelihoods."
"No need for extravagance!" the magistrate quickly waved his hand. "Just consider it as adding some fun for everyone, and letting everyone know about your contributions."
Lin Fuman was rather curious.
She had never seen an ancient drama before and wanted to see how the magistrate would adapt this experience.
Seeing that Lin Fuman was also interested, Shenyang Nong felt relieved and said, "Don't do anything fancy, just act it out as it is."
