Chapter 886 Pregnancy-preserving Medicine
Now everyone can get a bowl of porridge, and at noon each person can have another bowl of porridge with half a steamed bun made of old grain, which is already very good.
There was only a bowl of porridge for dinner.
"Children under ten years old and seniors over sixty can get a thicker bowl of rice porridge. Children under one year old can come and get half a bowl of rice porridge."
You Zhifu explained to Fu Zhaoning that it was not easy for them to be so careful, after all, they were short of manpower.
"Now many shops in the city don't dare to open their doors for business."
"Why is this?" An Nian asked.
"For example, those who sell buns, cakes, and wine, once they open their doors, the smell is so overbearing. Who can resist it when you are so hungry that you are dizzy? But how many of these disaster victims have the money to buy it properly?"
Prefect You shook his head. "So there were a lot of troubles. Some people stole food, some robbed food, and some cheated. Anyway, all kinds of troubles kept happening, so those shops dared not to open anymore."
No wonder Prefect You’s eyes are so red from working so hard, there are really too many things to do and he has no time to rest properly.
"More and more people are getting sick recently. Listen to the noises coming one after another."
Fu Zhaoning had already heard a lot of coughing and groaning sounds from the crowded crowd of disaster victims.
"Of course, there are also many honest disaster victims. They always ask you eagerly whether the emperor has issued an order, whether anyone has come to provide disaster relief, and whether they can return to their hometowns. These are not easy to answer."
Fu Zhaoning listened to some of it and felt helpless.
"Move a chair and table over here. I'll sit here and check their pulses first. You, the governor, and Lord An, go find another place, as far away from the people as possible. If some people have a contagious disease, they must be sent to a separate place for isolation."
"Ah He, listen to Doctor Fu."
Ah He quickly took the others and started working according to Fu Zhaoning's instructions.
They set up a temporary examination table in a corner of the open space.
Fu Zhaoning asked Fu Jinchen and Xiaoyue to wear the gloves she had sewn for them and a gown like her.
If the smock gets dirty, it can be torn off and discarded or burned at any time.
In the eyes of others, their image was a bit weird. They were already very eye-catching, and now everyone's attention was on them.
When Magistrate You said that this was the doctor who came to treat them, everyone was stunned.
"Female doctor?"
"Could it be that gentleman is the doctor?" Some people looked at Fu Jinchen and always felt that Fu Jinchen was the doctor.
Although Fu Zhaoning had her mouth and nose covered, it was still obvious that she was tall and slender, and a very young girl.
It's impossible that such a young girl could be a doctor?
But they had no choice but to believe what Prefect You said.
"This Doctor Fu is a genius doctor from the capital. If you feel uncomfortable, come and let her feel your pulse. Doctor Fu is kind-hearted and is here to provide free consultations. However, Doctor Fu is not an ordinary person. He can treat patients, but if anyone causes trouble or bullies others, he will be arrested and will not be let off lightly!"
Fu Zhaoning went on to say, "Today we will first see the elderly, the weak, women and children. If anyone is truly feeling unwell, please come over to take their pulse. If there are other reasons, please go to Prefect You and Lord An."
As she spoke, she sat behind the medical record.
Baihu Eleven and Thirteen each stood in a corner, so they could keep an eye on what was happening in the whole place at any time.
Xiaoyue and Fu Jinchen stood on both sides of her, acting as assistants.
Ah He and his friends are always watching the situation and can come forward to help.
At first, there was a lot of discussion but no one dared to move.
I don’t know whether he doesn’t trust the female doctor or he doesn’t trust Fu Zhaoning’s identity.
Fu Zhaoning stood up and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a child crying, "Mom——"
They all looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ah He had already walked over and came back quickly.
"A woman has fainted."
"Go and have a look."
Fu Zhaoning ran over immediately.
With so many people gathered together, the smell was really bad, but she still entered the low shed.
There was a young woman sitting on the ground inside, her face was as pale as paper and her lips were bloodless. There was a little girl next to her, crying and shaking her.
"Xiaoyue, look after the child." Fu Zhaoning gave her an instruction, then he went in, squatted beside the woman and examined her.
As soon as I touched the woman's hand, I felt it was terribly cold.
The clothes she was wearing were very thin, but the little girl was still wrapped quite thickly, and it was obvious that the clothes were given to the child.
Fu Zhaoning felt her pulse and his heart skipped a beat.
The pulse should have been two months, but it was too weak. The woman was severely anemic. It was normal for her to faint because of anemia, hunger and cold.
"Ahe, go get a bowl of porridge." Fu Zhaoning said.
"yes."
Ah He hurried to get the porridge, but the people in the queue had already started lining up. When he walked to the front, the people in the queue became unhappy.
“Get in line!”
"Official, come quickly. Someone is cutting in line here."
Ah He froze.
Bai Hu stepped forward and said, "My lady is seeing a patient. The patient is the first priority. Does anyone have any objections?"
The guards nearby drew their swords at once.
The guards that Xiao Lanyuan assigned to Fu Zhaoning were naturally not ordinary guards. The momentum of them drawing their swords together was so shocking that murderous aura burst out instantly.
Those noisy people suddenly fell silent and dared not say anything more.
An Nian said, "Since Doctor Fu asked someone to get porridge, it must be because the patient is in urgent need. You are all fine, so why can't you give way to the sick?"
"What if all of them are patients, and those of us who are not sick have to give way? How long will it take us to get in line?"
Hearing this, An Nian added, "Starting from noon, there will be another pot set up specifically for the sick and injured. Those who cannot come to line up for porridge will not be able to get it, so that you will not be delayed."
"Is there any food left in Zhecheng?" someone mustered up the courage to ask.
They had heard that the grain reserves in Zhecheng were almost empty. If the emperor didn't care about them, how would they survive?
"It's spring now, and the weather will soon warm up. When the time comes, I will discuss with the court and try my best to arrange a place for you. I won't let you wait here in vain. Ultimately, of course, I want you to survive and live and work in peace."
An Nian was trying to comfort the panicked hearts of the victims, while Fu Zhaoning was feeding the woman some porridge and a pill at the same time.
She actually thought that there would be no chance of using this medicine this time, so she took it out quietly from the pharmaceutical warehouse just now.
Pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
The woman is too weak and there is a possibility that she will not be able to save the fetus.
After she was given medicine and fed porridge, a man squeezed over in a hurry.
"daughter in law!"
"father!"
As soon as the little girl saw him, she cried out.
