Three days.
Patients with mild symptoms are gradually coming under control. Those with moderate symptoms haven't deteriorated any further. However, the effect on severely ill patients is less pronounced. Without basic rehydration and the potent antibiotic streptomycin, coupled with environmental limitations, treatment is difficult.
Seriously ill patients died every day. The government ordered people to guard the houses and wrap up the dead and burn them directly outside the city.
People are also carried in from all over the place every day.
The city's lack of doctors and medicine boys has spontaneously organized itself. Water and food can still be saved. The difficulty lies in obtaining medicinal materials, and a complete range of them. The sick need them, and those who are not sick also need preventative medicine.
They found the prefect, who told them to hold on for a while longer and that he was already thinking of a solution.
Liu Yuhan took out the related antibiotics that might be needed from the space and went to the house next door.
The innermost three-story house is for critically ill patients. The second-story house is for moderately ill patients. The front yard is for mild cases.
Liu Yuhan walked to the innermost house and entered a room where five critically ill children lived, three girls and two boys.
The three older children, about seven or eight years old, and the two youngest, about the same age as Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, were in the most critical condition.
Liu Yuhan was in charge of looking after them. The patients had no family members accompanying them. Only the medicine boy was responsible for taking them to the toilet, feeding them medicine, and feeding them.
There were 30 staff members at the pharmacy. Liu Yuhan had them all wear N95 masks. He instructed them to disinfect and fumigate their bodies before and after entering the pharmacy every day. All their changed clothes and protective suits were boiled in water. Liu Yuhan made simple protective suit samples, and Dr. Liu had them taken to a clothing store for rapid production. The whole house was filled with the scent of mugwort.
As usual, Liu Yuhan took their temperatures, cooled them down physically, fed them glucose, porridge, herbs, and cleaned them up.
Today, I gave each of them a cephalosporin pill, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can eliminate some bacteria. Right now, I can't tell if it's the right medication for my condition; I can only control their temperature and inflammation first.
"Sister, are you my sister?" The older girl's condition was the most stable. She leaned against the bed and asked her.
Liu Yuhan was wearing men's clothes and spoke to them in her natural accent.
"Yes, you can call me Sister Xiaohan."
"Sister, is my brother feeling better? We will be fine, right?" the little girl said, pointing at the youngest boy.
"He's my younger brother. My father, mother, and brother are all gone. When the earthquake happened, my father stuffed my brother and me under the bed. They went outside to look for my brother, but they were crushed by the house... I took my younger brother out of the city and paid my respects to my father, mother, and eldest brother..."
"Sister Xiaohan, my brother will be fine, right? He's the only relative I have left..."
The little girl shed tears silently when she said this. She is very strong.
"What's your name? What's your brother's name?" Liu Yuhan asked softly.
"My name is Wenjing, which means quiet as a virgin. My mother hopes that I can be well-educated, calm and dignified. My younger brother's name is Wenqing, which means pure as the plum blossom that is not afraid of the cold. My father hopes that my younger brother is pure in conduct and has lofty aspirations. My eldest brother's name is Wenzhuo. My parents hope that he will be outstanding..." Wenjing choked up as she spoke.
Liu Yuhan sighed softly.
"Don't worry, just rest well, you will all be fine, just trust me, okay?"
"Thank you, sister. I believe you."
It was already 11pm when Liu Yuhan walked out of the house after a busy day.
She went to rest in the backyard of the medicine shop. Her parents didn't listen to her in the end. They also went to the house to help. Seeing that the light in her parents' room was still on, Liu Yuhan quietly told them that she was back, and they turned off the lights and rested.
Liu Yuhan returned to her room. This was specially prepared for her by Doctor Liu.
Speaking of Doctor Liu, he is also an unlucky person.
He was originally heading to the capital with the escort company, but he was attacked by barbarians on the way. He escaped with the medicine boy and saved his life.
Fortunately, he had some silver with him, as well as the life-saving medicine Liu Yuhan had given him. He used the silver to exchange for some food, but not long after, he ran into robbers who stole his silver and money as well.
Doctor Liu was in tears, but later, by chance, he saved the son of a pharmacy owner who was rushing from the capital to Yiyang City. So, he followed him to Yiyang City, getting further and further away from the capital...
What a bitter tear.
After listening to what he said, Liu Yuhan couldn't help but sigh that fate was a wonderful thing. She had previously thought that it would be great if she could escape the famine with him, but she didn't expect to meet him in Yiyang City.
In the past two days, Liu Yuhan has been giving cephalexin to the five children. The three older children are getting better and better and can sit up and drink porridge by themselves. The two younger children no longer have a fever, but are still unconscious. Liu Yuhan fed them glucose.
Liu Yuhan looked at the porridge sent from the kitchen. It really was more water than porridge. It seemed that the government was really getting more and more difficult to run. To accommodate so many people and seal off the city, one could imagine how much money was spent every day.
At the hour of Hai, Liu Yuhan wrapped her face with a black scarf and walked towards the yamen.
The backyard of the government office.
"My dear nephew, I am so grateful to you! If you hadn't brought back the herbs and food today, your old uncle Wen would have collapsed."
"Uncle Wen, you are welcome to be so polite. In these troubled times, I am happy to see you do something for the people. If you need any help, just let me know."
A dozen feet away from Wen Tianming sat a young man. He stood tall and straight, his brows like dark emerald green, his eyes like stars. He was dressed in dark-colored clothes, his hair tied up, and his face covered with a scarf.
"My nephew is right. Uncle Wen will not be polite with you. Go to bed early. Tomorrow you have to help Uncle Wen lead some yamen runners to patrol the streets. Some old stubborn people have patients hiding in their homes. If we can't eradicate them, it will be troublesome. You have to help find them. Uncle Wen is really relying on you..." Ababa Ababa...
