"According to the Imperial Observatory, today is the last day of heavy rain." Feng Yuheng stood in front of the examination tent and looked out with a worried look on his face.
Xuan Tianming stood beside him, also with a gloomy face. They all remembered what the director of the Imperial Observatory said, that after the rainstorm came the scorching sun. Although the bodies had been burned, and each rain tent had been thoroughly disinfected, and the wounds of the injured had been treated, some hidden dangers had already been buried, and no one could guarantee where the epidemic would spread. They only saved people, but the soil under their feet and the air they breathed could not completely eliminate the crisis, not to mention the animals that were dying every moment.
The two held hands tightly. Xuan Tianming could feel the coldness of her fingertips, so he covered her small hands in his palms and rubbed them continuously.
Not far away, the city gate suddenly opened. People heard the sound and turned their heads to look. They saw a convoy of horse carriages coming out of the city. Each carriage was pulled by two tall horses. The carriages were covered tightly and seemed a little heavy when pulled by the horses. It was obvious that they were loaded with a lot of supplies.
Feng Yuheng counted and found that there were a total of forty carriages, but they were not the same. Half of them were pulled by black horses, and the other half were pulled by white horses.
A soldier came over to report: "General, County Lady, it was the Third and Fourth Princes who brought supplies out of the city, including food and clothing. They said they had informed the Emperor and were sending them to the refugees outside the city."
Xuan Tianming snorted, "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken."
The soldier asked again: "Should we let them send it?"
Xuan Tianming nodded and said, "Send it. Since it has been delivered, of course we have to send it. Go and help."
With the assistance of the garrison outside the city, the distribution of supplies went smoothly. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince did not leave the city themselves, but they sent people to deliver food, clothing and daily necessities to Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng respectively.
Feng Yuheng looked at the two things and shook his head. "Go back and tell your master that if you want to do good things, you have to be sincere and not just superficial. It's not just me and His Highness the Ninth Prince outside the city. Their sister, Princess Wuyang, is also here. How come you didn't think of preparing an extra copy for your sister?"
These words made the servants on both sides blush. They understood that these two copies were sent out just for show, and no one remembered the incident with Princess Wuyang.
While Feng Yuheng was talking, Xuan Tiange also came over, looked at the things on the table, snorted, and said, "It seems that I really need to take some time to communicate with Uncle Huang. He said that I am the only flower of the Xuan family's generation. Although I am a cousin, all the princes must treat me as their own sister. How come it's only been a few years, and the third and fourth brothers want to rebel?"
The word "rebellion" frightened the servants of the two families. They hurried down and began to find excuses to exonerate their masters.
Xuan Tiange just waved his hand and said, "It's not okay unless you kiss." Then he turned and left the tent.
Xuan Tianming also pulled his wife to sit over there in the clinic tent, leaving the servants of the two families here. The two of them decided to stop kneeling and go back to report to their masters, so they quickly returned to the city with the empty convoy.
In the diagnosis room, Feng Yuheng asked Xuan Tianming: "What do you think about this matter?"
Xuantian thought for a moment and said, "The third and fourth brothers have never been peaceful. I didn't expect that the third brother was injured to such a state, and he still coveted the throne. I think this matter is related to the Duanmu family in the northern boundary."
Feng Yuheng also nodded and said, "The Northern Realm will become our enemy sooner or later. If the Third Prince fails, there is still the Fourth Prince. They may even conspire with Qian Zhou. The Duanmu family has been stationed in the North for so many years, and their ambitions are definitely not limited to this."
"If we calculate, Ban Zou and the others will be back soon." Xuan Tianming said, "We will go to Qianzhou to hold a funeral after the heavy rain. We can delay it for a day longer."
On this day, there were more than two princes who sent things out of the city. She thought that Rong and the others had collected more clothes to send out of the city. She did not distribute this batch of clothes immediately, saving them for tomorrow when the rain stopped to change the clothes that were heavily damp.
Since they no longer had to distribute clothes, Xiangrong and the others had some free time to stay outside the city for a while. Ren Xifeng and Feng Tianyu went to see Tiange, while Xiangrong pulled Feng Yuheng to talk quietly. She told Feng Yuheng, "For some reason, the general of the Bu family did not agree to my breaking off the engagement, and the engagement letter that was returned was sent back. Aunt An said that the old lady was furious, but I was running around for refugees outside the city recently, and General Pingnan had informed the palace, so she did not make things difficult for me. But I don't know what kind of trouble the Feng family will have after this natural disaster."
The news she brought surprised Feng Yuheng a little. Normally, this marriage was just a deal between Feng Jinyuan and the Bu family. At that time, Feng Jinyuan was the prime minister and he had the capital to make a deal. But now he has been demoted to the fifth rank. Normally, even if the Bu family wanted to back out of this marriage, they would definitely take the initiative to back out. Why did there happen to be such twists and turns?
Xiangrong saw Feng Yuheng frowning, and felt a little reluctant: "Second sister, you don't have to worry about my affairs. Xiangrong is just wondering, so I came to talk to you. Dashun is in trouble now, and second sister is someone who wants to do big things, so she can't focus on my little thing."
Feng Yuheng smiled, patted the back of her hand and said, "Natural disasters are a big deal, and my sister's lifelong happiness is also a big deal, but Xiangrong, you don't actually need to worry about it, and you don't need to rush to ask for a divorce. You are only eleven years old, and a girl is fifteen years old. There are still four years left, which is really a long time."
Xiangrong nodded, "I understand, don't worry, second sister. Xiangrong is very strong now and is not afraid of anything." As she spoke, she looked around. The smell of disinfectant was everywhere in the diagnosis tent. She had smelled this smell before, just like the one in the medicine room of Tongshengxuan. She knew that this was the smell of a kind of medicine that was unique to Feng Yuheng. "Second sister, the clothes delivered today are the last batch. We will have nothing to do after we go back. Sister Ren and Sister Feng both said they would stay to help. Can you let me stay too? I can cook and help you take care of the patients. I just... don't want to go."
Feng Yuheng knew what she was thinking. Although she lived in Tongshengxuan, it was only separated from Feng Mansion by a wall. There would always be news coming from there, and this girl would definitely not like to hear it. So she nodded, "Then follow me and learn how to take care of patients."
On the last night before the rainstorm stopped, except for the refugees, no one slept. Feng Yuheng took out batches of vaccines from the medicine room, and personally directed the soldiers to conduct another thorough disinfection. At the same time, he also deployed the first disinfection work after the rain stopped.
In the past few days, more than half of the people have been given antibacterial vaccines and medicines have been distributed. But after all, there are too many refugees, and it is impossible for her and Song Kang, who has learned how to vaccinate temporarily, to take care of them. Feng Yuheng has also taught Huang Quan Wangchuan how to vaccinate several times, but unfortunately, the two of them really don't have Song Kang's comprehension, so they had to give up.
On the last night, she and Song Kang once again devoted themselves to the vaccination work, racing against time. During the process, Song Kang asked her, "Can this thing called vaccine control the epidemic after it is injected?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head helplessly. This was what she was most worried about. "This is just the most basic antibacterial vaccine. It's better than nothing, but it can't guarantee that people who have been vaccinated will not be infected at all. There are too many different types of epidemics, and no one can predict what kind of bacteria will emerge after this heavy rain. Of course, it's best if there is none. If there is... then we can only leave it to fate."
Song Kang didn't ask any more questions and continued to vaccinate people.
In this way, the two of them worked until dawn the next day before returning to the clinic. As a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, Feng Yuheng, who was almost collapsed from exhaustion, suddenly felt his heart tighten.
Song Kang also murmured: "The sun is out."
Yes, the sun came out and the rain stopped.
The refugees had no idea what was going on. They only knew that the heavy rain that had lasted for more than half a month had finally stopped. People instantly burst into cheers, rushed out of the rain tents one by one, and happily basked in the long-lost sunshine.
Unfortunately, Feng Yuheng was not at ease at all, including Song Kang. He was a doctor himself, so he naturally understood how high the probability of an epidemic was after a disaster. Without waiting for Feng Yuheng to speak, he took the initiative to get up from the ground and asked the soldiers to take the disinfectant prepared in advance and sprinkle it in the tents, especially the last two tents that had not been vaccinated in time, and they had to sprinkle more.
After the soldiers left with the disinfectant, Song Kang ordered people to distribute the clean clothes delivered yesterday so that people could change into them, and then collect the old clothes and send them all to a place ten miles away to be burned.
Feng Yuheng watched him order the soldiers to do things in an orderly manner, and she also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there is still someone like this who can share her burden, otherwise she would be exhausted and unable to treat so many patients. It's not that she has not thought about transferring more doctors out of the city, but how can everyone know her medical skills and equipment? Even if someone is transferred, without the comprehension of a genius like Song Kang, how can everyone learn it?
She was still sitting on the floor of the examination tent, with a raincoat spread out beneath her. It was icy cold. As soon as Xuan Tianming entered the tent, he frowned when he saw her. He quickly stepped forward and pulled her up from the ground, feeling angry and distressed. But before the two could say a few words, Song Kang, who was originally directing the soldiers at the door of the tent, suddenly swayed and fell to the ground with a thud without any warning.
Feng Yuheng was startled and quickly ran forward to check. She saw a patch of small red bumps on Song Kang's neck. She reached out her hand to check his temperature and it was terribly hot.
Her heart tightened, and she looked at Xuan Tianming with some fear. This expression made Xuan Tianming guess what was going on, and he couldn't help but ask, "Epidemic?"
She nodded, then reached into her sleeve, took out an injection, gave Song Kang an injection, stuffed a white pill into his mouth, and ordered the soldiers to give him water. She treated the man in one go, but Xuan Tianming could see that her hands were shaking slightly.
He held her wrist and wanted to persuade her, but Feng Yuheng spoke first. She said, "You don't know, once there is one case of the epidemic, the rest will follow. I am alone and can't do it."
As they were talking, Xiangrong, who had not returned to the city, ran in from outside. She had a happy look on her face, holding someone's sleeve in her hand, and shouted at Feng Yuheng as she ran, "Second sister, look who's here!"
