Disfigured Female Doctor 3
The pharmacy was very busy. As soon as Chen Wanyue arrived, she was dragged by the pharmacy owner to buy medicine. The owner had a worried look on his face: "Take care of yourself. If the government doesn't do anything, I don't know how long it will take to control this disease."
Zhou Wan's face was ulcerated and she couldn't see anyone. She had to wear a thick veil when she saw people.
Chen Wanyue didn't take it seriously at first.
Until she looked in the mirror for the first time, Xiao Ya comforted her.
Precisely because she wore thick gauze every day, no one had ever seen Zhou Wan’s true face.
After spending a day in the pharmacy, Shen Wanyue also discovered that the epidemic was very serious.
At the same time, a similar disease was found in Zhou Wan's memory - acne.
As far as I remember, there was already a treatment method, so it shouldn't have spread over a large area without any warning.
Why is it so contagious and yet has not been treated or controlled?
For a moment, Shen Wanyue remembered what the owner of the medicine shop said.
It looks like it's rotten from the inside.
In this dynasty life, Shen Wanyue also felt that there were people starving to death on the streets every day.
If I don't have a skill, I'm afraid I'll end up like this.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wanyue handed the medicine to the other party: "Three times a day."
"Thank you very much."
Many medicines in the pharmacy are sold out.
Later on, Shen Wanyue still had time to catch her breath.
The owner of the medicine shop was very worried: "Where are the medicine materials left in the medicine shop?"
His apprentice said: "I asked a few families nearby, and they had the same situation as us."
Chen Wanyue was tidying up the medicine grinding equipment, and all their words came into her ears.
The owner of the drugstore said mysteriously, "Based on the symptoms of these people, I'm afraid it's acne."
"Ah? I thought it was smallpox." The young apprentice said in surprise, "Master, why don't we go to another place? If we get infected, will we still be alive? I heard that many people died in the place where it was first infected! It's more terrible than smallpox."
The owner of the drugstore certainly thought so, but he had run the drugstore for decades, and if he left...
The young disciple lowered his voice and said, "We can take as many herbs as we can. Let's run first. We have to save our lives."
He was not the only one who thought so. Many people in Guitan Prefecture were secretly thinking of leaving.
Of course, there are some people who are attached to their homeland and are unwilling to leave.
The voice was too soft, so Shen Wanyue didn't hear it clearly. But she still guessed that he wanted to run away.
However, according to Zhou Wan's understanding, acne has an incubation period.
The initial symptoms are just dizziness and drowsiness, and then the acne characteristics will appear later.
"Oh... I'm so sleepy. I've been so busy today." The young apprentice yawned.
The owner of the medicine shop said: "Go back and have a rest, Madam Zhou, you can look after the medicine shop first."
Chen Wanyue said as she packed up: "Okay."
It was already night when we left the pharmacy.
The cold wind outside blew into Shen Wanyue's neck.
No one goes out on ordinary nights.
But now it is different, every house has lights on, and heart-wrenching cries can be heard from time to time.
The moonlight was blocked, and the sky seemed to be dyed with ink, without a trace of light.
Chen Wanyue hugged her arms, the silver hairpin in her hair swaying gently with her footsteps and the cold wind.
The fallen leaves rustled in the wind and were trampled by her embroidered shoes.
The sad crying never stopped along the way, and the heart-wrenching sobs reached my ears.
Chen Wanyue lowered her eyes and continued walking forward, her eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.
From time to time on the road, soldiers questioned her, and Shen Wanyue answered them all.
As she approached her street, she stopped.
Go check on yourself, don’t catch a cold again. Chen Wanyue felt funny.
When you walk into your home, it's the same as when you left it.
No change.
Shen Wanyue rolled up her sleeves and tidied up the messy room.
Finally, she stopped in front of "herself".
I saw "her" lying on the bed with the quilt covering her body.
She was undoubtedly in a deep sleep, but her face was pale and her lips were bloodless.
The corners of her lips suddenly curled up, and the smile on her face was fleeting, with a bit of bitterness and self-mockery hidden between her drooping eyebrows.
Looking at my own "corpse" really gives me a different feeling.
Chen Wanyue sealed the windows to prevent theft. She also fed some water to "her" lips and covered them with a blanket.
After doing all this, Shen Wanyue chose to go back to Zhou Wan's place, after all, there was a little girl waiting for her.
She walked out of the house and closed the door.
"Who's there?" A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Shen Wanyue paused as she locked the door, then locked it with a "click". She turned around and walked calmly to the person who came: "Come and get my clothes."
The person who came was Wu Laifeng. After finishing his work tonight, he wanted to go out for a walk alone.
I thought of the condition of the embroiderer I saw not long ago and wondered if it was acne.
When I got to the door, I saw a sneaky man with a thick veil on his face coming out.
"Come here so late at night?" Wu Laifeng asked doubtfully, his eyes full of alertness.
Chen Wanyue chuckled softly: "Then it would be appropriate for you, a man, to come here late at night?"
"I am a doctor." Wu Laifeng approached, "I am here to treat the owner of this house."
Chen Wanyue was not afraid at all and said, "Mrs. Chen Xiu went to bed after I came out. Didn't you see that there was no light in the room? I am also a doctor. She is fine. She just caught a cold."
I was far away from it before, but now that I'm closer, I realize the voice sounds familiar...as if I've heard it somewhere before.
The night wind blew up the veil on Shen Wanyue's face.
"!"
She subconsciously covered her veil with her hands, and the veil was lifted up and down by the night wind.
The devastation is revealed, with only a pair of penetrating eyes.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
Wu Laifeng remembered that he had seen the woman in front of him in Fengzhen.
"Are you... Doctor Zhou?"
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Chen Wanyue simply took off her veil and nodded to the man in front of her: "It's me. Is Chen Xiu Niang really okay?"
Shen Wanyue confirmed again: "Of course, Mr. Wu should go back and rest as soon as possible."
Wu Laifeng didn't say anything more. After a few words of greeting, he left.
"Mr. Wu." When he left, Xiao Zhaoming's men followed him.
Wu Laifeng: "What's the matter?"
“Is there a solution to acne scars?”
"Yes." If Wu Laifeng can treat it once, he can treat it a second time -
Xiao Zhaoming's people said again: "Then please ask Mr. Wu to go to the room arranged by my son to make medicine."
".....What should we do with the patient?" Wu Laifeng stopped, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Although he knew that the other party had no ill intentions.
Xiao Zhaoming's people said, "The young master has arranged for other doctors to come."
"That's good."
Xiao Ya sat on the stool and forced herself to open her eyes.
She murmured to herself: "Haven't you come back yet......"
As soon as she entered the house, Chen Wanyue saw the little girl nodding like a chick pecking at rice, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
Xiaoya held up her little face, heard the laughter, saw "Zhou Wan" in her eyes, and her eyelids snapped open: "Sister! You are finally back. I will go heat up the food."
Chen Wanyue stopped her and patted her face gently: "No need, I've eaten. Xiaoya, you don't have to wait for me next time. You have to go to bed early and get up early to grow taller."
Xiao Ya was malnourished and looked shorter than her peers. She looked better after living with Zhou Wan.
"But I'm worried about my sister..." Xiao Ya rubbed her eyes.
"Go to sleep." Xiaoya was very light, Shen Wanyue gently picked her up and patted her back with the palm of her hand.
Xiaoya buried her little face in Shen Wanyue's arms and rubbed it: "I want to sleep with my sister..."
She curled her lips and said, "Okay."
The second day.
Xiaoya hasn't woken up yet. Chen Wanyue twisted the quilt and prepared breakfast before going to the medicine shop to take up her duty.
What I didn't expect was that the owner of the medicine shop and the young apprentice both fell ill, most likely due to acne.
This pharmacy is not big, and it is considered a relatively small one in Tanzhou.
Now only Shen Wanyue is left to work.
As Shen Wanyue prepared the medicine, she wondered if she would be infected. If she was infected, it would be a big obstacle to meeting Zhou Wan's conditions.
"Hey! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the drugstore and everyone scattered.
It turned out to be soldiers.
They walked into the pharmacy with knives in their hands and asked, "Who is the boss here?"
Everyone's eyes stayed on Shen Wanyue who had her face covered.
Chen Wanyue wiped her hands, walked forward, and said in a calm tone: "What do you want, gentlemen?"
Several officers and soldiers raised their knives, and the people around them were startled. After a moment, only the officers and soldiers and Shen Wanyue were left in the pharmacy.
"Humph! Didn't you read the official notice?!"
Chen Wanyue felt strange and said, "I just work in the medicine shop, I'm not the boss here."
The officer snorted coldly: "I don't care if you are right or wrong! In Tanzhou, we must abide by the rules of Tanzhou!"
She didn't want to get involved, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Please let the officer know."
"All of you shops that have come into contact with patients must close! Do you know this? I didn't care before, but now that I've been informed, you must close your shops immediately!"
"This..." What kind of logic is this?
She could understand the closure of other stores, but was this closure of the pharmacy intended to leave people with nowhere to buy medicine?
The leading soldier narrowed his eyes and moved the knife in his hand towards Chen Wanyue: "Are you dissatisfied?" Although he was asking her, as long as Chen Wanyue replied with a yes, the knife would immediately chop her neck.
She smiled and said, "Of course not. Thank you for telling me, sir. I will close the door right away."
The leading soldier Shuan first put away his knife, and the cold weapon scraped across the ground, making a harsh friction sound: "You're smart. Let's go! To the next store."
"yes!"
Seeing the people leave, Shen Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief.
The patient outside the door heard what the soldiers said, and after they left, he said angrily: "This is too much! All the pharmacies are closed, where can we buy medicine... cough cough cough..."
"Yeah, this is going to kill us!"
Those people turned around and stared at the medicine shop behind Shen Wanyue like hungry wolves.
She felt something was wrong and went forward to seal the door.
Patients with sores on their faces gathered outside the window: "Ahem...please let us get some herbs."
Chen Wanyue quickly picked up a wooden board beside her and pressed it down, saying, "The government will definitely find a way, why do you have to act like bandits?"
"The government doesn't care about our lives at all!"
The patients outside are in panic, and nothing you say will be of any use.
There were many windows around the medicine shop, and Chen Wanyue couldn't even run through them. In the blink of an eye, the person outside climbed in through the window.
Before, when buying medicine, there were not many people queuing up, and people would steal medicine secretly. Fortunately, there are moral constraints on some people.
Now seeing so many people rushing in, the timid people also joined in, and the pharmacy fell into chaos.
Chen Wanyue was not a kind-hearted person. This was not her shop, so there was no need to desperately protect it. While the crowd was only looking at the medicine cabinets in the back row, she wanted to escape through the window.
I originally wanted to earn some money so that I could go find Zhou Wan's father who was far away in Beijing, but now it seems I have to change the way I make money.
Things don't always go as we wish.
Before Shen Wanyue could stand firmly, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves stepping on the ground behind her.
