Chapter 042 Fifty-two
At the western outpost of the treatment area, the guards parked the old man's body at the door.
All patients leaving this entrance receive the same treatment: wrapped in straw mats and covered with white cloth.
Soon, two people came over pulling a cart.
"Old Man Yan, what took you so long?"
The old man in front hurried forward and bowed, "General, my nephew is seriously short of water, and I've been delayed in finding a temporary replacement."
As he spoke, he let the young man behind him step out, and the young man also bowed like him.
The imperial guards had no suspicion of anything else.
They were not familiar with the county town. The old man was the manager of the Mingyan County Charity Cemetery, and he was responsible for the families' claiming and handling of the bodies.
This is an unlucky job, so it's understandable that no one is willing to do it, and it's really difficult to find a replacement.
The imperial guard thought for a moment and then whispered, "There may be a solution to the water problem. We'll know in a day or two."
"real?!"
The old man was so excited that he almost jumped up. God had pity on him. He did this for the government office just for a bag of clean water that day, but how could it be enough for his family?
"Don't make it public, just keep it a secret."
"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, General, thank you, General!"
"It will probably be busy tonight. Go and tell the county magistrate to help. Just stand guard at this door."
"this……"
Old Man Yan naturally understood what this meant, but he didn't dare to say anything and immediately bowed in agreement.
The old man's body was placed on a cart and they left immediately. However, after leaving the area illuminated by the fire, the young man looked back deeply.
Busy... It seems something unexpected happened tonight, and it would be easier to sneak in with more people.
——————
In the intensive care unit, Doctor Jiang and his medical children were busy again.
He knew that the Sixth Princess's method was effective, but he was not absolutely sure.
Two injections, one death and one life. The stronger the body and the earlier the treatment, the better the effect may be, but there is no conclusion yet.
If it really gets to the very end, it's true that they are blameless, but their bodies may not be able to withstand it.
After much deliberation, Jiang Qingpu decided to find the patients who were still conscious and explain that they would have to make the decision themselves.
As for those who fell into a coma, the medical boy and the imperial guards worked together to move them into another room.
Qin Zhaoyue agreed with Jiang Qingpu's plan and understood that there would be concentrated injections for a period of time. He was busy preparing the injection solution.
Just then, two people walked in.
She looked up and glanced, her eyes fell on one of them, and she immediately frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Xueqi paused when he heard this and looked to the left unconsciously.
No, the two of them stayed, why were they the only ones questioning him?
"Look at what others are doing, I'm asking you a question."
Pei Xueqiao felt a little depressed. Who was he staying for?
After all, we are old acquaintances. Isn't it too cold?
"I'll keep a record of the case so I can prove it to Your Highness later."
Qin Zhaoyue tilted his head, "So kind?"
"I'm doing this for the victims! I don't want to... I don't want to see anyone wrongly treated."
Okay, no matter whether it is true or not, I have already considered the worst outcome when I took action. Qin Zhaoyue shrugged indifferently.
In the midst of the busy schedule, the imperial guards brought dinner.
Meat patties, a dish of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a cup of tea were the best meals in Mingyan County at that time.
In order to hurry on their journey, the food-guarding team only ate one meal a day when they camped, and the rest of the time they ate dry food. Qin Zhaoyue was really hungry at this time.
Without finding a vacant room, he washed his hands and sat down in the pavilion in the yard.
Just as he was about to start, he saw Sui Mo leading six members of the Mo Group to guard the area. He waved his hand.
"That's not necessary. There are guards around here. Bring your food. We'll be busy tonight."
Sui Mo did not refuse, and soon everyone sat down in the pavilion.
But what they got was just the ordinary food of the imperial guards, which was dry bread, but there was a bag of water.
"Drink the water we brought with us. After drinking it, you must boil it and let it cool down. I don't want to give you an injection."
"Yes, Your Highness."
During this period, they also knew that the Sixth Princess had a habit, which was not to drink raw water.
"Forget the meat pie..."
As he spoke, Qin Zhaoyue roughly divided the vegetables on the plate into eight portions, took a bite of the meat patty and added a vegetable to it.
When you are very hungry, everything tastes delicious to you. You can eat it all up in no time.
"Ha..." After drinking the warm green tea in one gulp, Qin Zhaoyue stood up and left.
When she first entered the workplace in her previous life, she hated eating at the same table with her boss the most.
You have to read the boss's facial expressions, answer his questions from time to time, and laugh awkwardly at all the old jokes. Even the most delicious food has no taste.
After being caught in the rain, I also want to tear other people's umbrellas apart.
Yes, Qin Zhaoyue would definitely do this normally, which would make people so embarrassed that they would lose their appetite, but he was not in the mood tonight.
"elder sister……"
Sui Mo said nothing, walked forward, picked up one of the vegetables with a chopstick, put it in his mouth, and immediately went after the princess.
There was no way to win people's hearts with a plate of vegetables. After spending some time together, she could see that the princess had no other thoughts.
She did it as soon as she thought of it, just like when she won their monthly salary without any scruples.
After Sui Mo left, everyone looked at Mo Yi.
Mo Yi stepped forward, picked up the chopsticks, and followed suit, shoveling down the food in one gulp. "Hurry up, don't delay the important matter."
So, one after another.
After a short rest, the seriously ill and unconscious patients had been moved away.
There is one main house and three side rooms, which can accommodate sixty-four people in total.
Qin Zhaoyue held the syringe, Jiang Qingpu prepared the silver needles and ginseng slices, Meng Jian protected the heart meridian, and Pei Xueqiao recorded.
"Let's get started."
Starting at the hour of Xu, the four people cooperated to start the injection.
Most of them died, but some survived and their condition improved.
Qin Zhaoyue seemed to have turned into an emotionless machine. No matter what the result was, she would inject an injection, disinfect, extract the blood, and then proceed to the next one.
The atmosphere became increasingly silent, and in the end there was not even a word of communication.
"Continue..." Seeing that no one was moving for a long time, Qin Zhaoyue frowned, "What are you standing there for?"
"Your Highness," Sui Mo stepped forward and held her hand, "It's over."
Qin Zhaoyue raised his head and looked around blankly, "Is it over?"
"Yes, it's over."
Sui Mo nodded firmly and took the syringe from her hand.
The morning light was dim, and a bunch of dust was reflected through the gap in the window. I realized belatedly that a whole night had passed.
Qin Zhaoyue felt a dull pain in his forehead, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to press it. "What's the result?"
Pei Xueqiao, who had also endured the night, exhaled deeply and looked at the record book in his hand with a throbbing Adam's apple. "Thirteen people survived."
Thirteen, how many people were there in total? Sixty-four, I think.
It took my already numb brain some time to figure out the calculation. 20%, worse than expected.
But... fifty-one lives, plus the old man at the beginning, fifty-two...
"Sui Mo, I want to sleep for a while."
