Chapter 389 I'll leave everything to Dr. Song
Luo Gang thought about it and realized that the adults had not allowed them to get close, so he just watched from a distance. Later, he learned about it from the doctor.
"High fever, cough, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, mental depression, these are the general symptoms. Madam has been waiting for news from Master at home, so she asked us to come to Lushan Village to find Doctor Song to take a look."
Song Yuntang nodded, asked Xu Wencheng to harness the mule cart, and asked him to stay at home, planning to take Xia Ning with him and set off alone.
Xu Qingye strode out of the house.
"I'll go with you."
Jiang and Xu Yongwang stood at the door, looking worried.
She really wanted to selfishly detain Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, but such a big thing happened in Anyang County, and her daughter-in-law's medical skills were among the best in Anyang County.
If she is not allowed to go, if the epidemic becomes serious, it will definitely affect all the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Anyang County.
By then, none of them will be spared.
The overall situation is more important right now, she can't open her mouth to ask.
Song Yuntang looked back at Xu Qingye, shook his head and said, "You have only recovered for a while. To avoid infection, you'd better not come with me. I will be careful and there will be no problem."
Luo Gang on the side also said, "There are government officials, as well as local villagers and doctors over there. They will definitely cooperate with Dr. Song. Mr. Xu has finally recovered from his illness, so it is better for him to wait for news at home. Once the epidemic is under control, I will personally escort Dr. Song home."
Xu Qingye glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang, and seeing her determined eyes, he didn't say much.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
Jiang's eyes were red as well and she said, "Tang'er, you must protect yourself when you are outside."
"good."
Song Yuntang nodded, looked in the direction of Xu Qingye, took Xia Ning, and left Lushan Village with Luo Gang.
Watching the carriage go away, Jiang couldn't help but shed tears.
"What should I do?"
After the carriage disappeared, Xu Qingye went into the house, took something out, turned around and walked out of the house, heading straight towards the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Jiang wiped her face and hurried forward.
"Aono, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the provincial capital."
The man walked out of the yard without even turning his head and walked away.
…
The epidemic started in Hehua Village in Qingshi Town.
Because of famine, many refugees were begging for food, and the disease was spread everywhere. People in the town and surrounding villages were infected to varying degrees.
Zhu Deming, who came here to inspect, was not spared.
However, because the doctors paid a lot of attention to him, his condition did not deteriorate too seriously. When Song Yuntang arrived, he was still able to walk, but he was pale and looked tired and weak.
The room still smelled strongly of medicine.
Song Yuntang stood at the door wearing a face scarf and bowed to him.
"Is Master Zhu okay?"
During the New Year holidays, he could even go to villages and towns to inspect, always thinking about the people. Whether in his past life or this life, such an official could be considered one of the best officials.
Zhu Deming waved his hands.
"I won't die." He coughed twice with his mouth covered. Before Song Yuntang came, someone had already reported the matter to him. "It is really helpless to call Doctor Song at this time. I hope Doctor Song will forgive me."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"It's okay. I'm also from Anyang County. If Anyang County is plagued by the epidemic, we will not be immune. Have you distributed the plague prevention prescriptions that I gave you before to the nearby towns?"
Zhu Deming nodded. "After raising the money some time ago, I ordered the herbs and sent people to implement it. I didn't expect that Qingshi Town would still fall."
Fortunately, after seeing the situation here, he had already blocked off the entire Qingshi Town, otherwise several nearby towns would have been affected.
But I'm afraid there will still be people who escape from here through the small path.
"The victims have no fixed place to live, so many people will inevitably be missed when the pesticide is applied. It is hard to prevent. However, after using the medicine, the disaster situation will be relatively alleviated and the symptoms will not be so serious."
Song Yuntang handed the medicine box to Xia Ning and looked at Zhu Deming.
"Let me show it to Master Zhu first."
Zhu Deming covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"I don't have enough medicine. I can still hold on for now. Let me show it to those people outside first."
Master Qin, who was standing by, hurriedly advised, "Sir, you should let Doctor Song take a look first. Before someone from the imperial court comes, you still have to make the decision on all matters in Anyang County."
Luo Gang also said, "Yes, sir, it is a good thing that you care about the people, but once you fall, who will take charge of the overall situation for the people?"
Song Yuntang went into the room on his own.
"Master Zhu's selfless dedication is indeed very touching, but Madam Zhu is pregnant and waiting at home. He even sent someone to Lushan Village to call me here during the New Year. Does Master want to disappoint Madam?"
After listening to what several people said, Zhu Deming couldn't insist on anything anymore.
Originally, he just thought that he could still hold on, so he focused on treating those with more serious illnesses first. After all, it was a human life.
The situation here has been reported to the prefect. The epidemic is a matter of great importance. I believe that after the capital receives the news, they will send people down to deal with it as soon as possible.
He will be able to use the medicine then.
After Song Yuntang took Zhu Deming's pulse, he wrote out a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine according to the prescription.
Zhu Deming looked at Master Qin.
"Since Doctor Song is here, you should follow her instructions regarding the arrangements for the victims. Here, her words are mine."
Master Qin nodded.
"yes."
Zhu Deming looked at Song Yuntang again, "I'll leave everything to Doctor Song."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Now that I'm here, I'll do my best."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Next, she began to arrange for government officials to isolate patients who had contracted the disease according to the severity of their illness. Except for those healthy people who were willing to stay and help, the rest of the people also lived a little further away.
In addition, the remaining medicine for preventing the plague was boiled every day, diluted with water and given to them to take.
Although the efficacy of the medicine is not strong, it is better than nothing and it does have some preventive effect.
Under Song Yuntang's instructions, warming measures were also taken in the area where the patients were housed.
After everything was arranged, Song Yuntang began to lead the three original doctors wearing face scarves to diagnose pulses and prescribe medicine.
However, after the widespread use of plague-preventive medicines, the government now does not have enough money, and the medicinal materials that can be transported to Qingshi Town for treating the plague are very limited.
There are not enough medicinal materials, so it is relatively difficult to control the plague.
The patients drank diluted medicine. In his spare time, Song Yuntang drew the appearance of the needed medicinal materials and summoned healthy officers and soldiers and civilians to go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials.
But now that the cold winter has just passed, medicinal materials in the mountains are really scarce, and there are extremely many people infected with the epidemic, and the shortage of medical care and medicine has not been resolved.
The worst thing is that there is not enough food.
After persisting for four or five days, Zhu Deming's condition improved after taking the medicine prescribed by Song Yuntang, as his symptoms were mild to begin with.
However, due to the lack of medicinal materials, the plague in Qingshi Town has not been significantly improved. Although there have been some improvements, more and more people are being infected.
