Chapter 443: Anti-epidemic
"Yes, we have to eat and drink well at all times..." Su Qianqian put the food in front of Qin Hanzhang.
"Okay, let's eat together." Qin Hanzhang sat down and distributed the noodle soup to Su Qianqian in a bowl, leaving the egg in Su Qianqian's bowl.
"I don't know how long I'll stay here. Eggs are rare. You can eat them. I've never liked the taste of eggs."
Qin Hanzhang explained that he ate the cake with noodle soup, and also ate pickled vegetables and meat strips. It seemed like he had never eaten such delicious food before.
Su Qianqian was really hungry, so she drank the noodle soup in big gulps. It tasted pretty good. She gave half of the egg to Qin Hanzhang: "Even if you don't like it, you have to eat it to supplement your nutrition."
Qin Hanzhang did not refuse, and the eggs seemed to become unusually delicious.
After dinner, Qin Hanzhang arranged for Su Qianqian to sleep in his tent. There was only a very narrow couch, which naturally could not accommodate two people. Qin Hanzhang spread a felt beside the couch, took a quilt, and lay on the floor.
"The floor is too cold..." Su Qianqian felt a little embarrassed for stealing someone else's bed.
"I'm used to it. It's nothing. Go to bed early. It will be dawn soon, and by then I'm afraid you won't have a moment to rest." Qin Hanzhang looked at Su Qianqian with some heartache.
"Okay." Su Qianqian closed her eyes obediently. She always had a good sleep quality. She could stay up late, and she could also fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
It was dawn not long after she slept. Although Su Qianqian didn't get enough sleep, she was in working mode, which was different from her usual state. Her biological clock quickly adjusted to standby mode at any time.
After a simple breakfast, Su Qianqian followed Qin Hanzhang out of the tent and only then could she see clearly what was happening around them.
The people led by Qin Hanzhang separated two neighboring villages. One village contained villagers who had no confirmed illness, and some refugees who had not been infected with the epidemic were also settled here.
Another village is Cangshan Village, where many villagers infected with the epidemic were indeed found. The reason was probably that the village was close to the shallows of the lower reaches of Hong River, and the poultry washed down after the flood was picked up by the villagers and eaten.
There were also some people who died in the flood, whose bodies floated to the shallows. Some villagers searched for food and money on the bodies, but the bodies were not buried deeply in time, which caused the spread of the plague.
Su Qianqian has a lot to say in fighting the epidemic. She had already made preparations in the space before coming. In addition to Chinese herbal medicine, she also made purified antiviral essence.
Several imperial doctors understood the patient's symptoms and were studying them. Su Qianqian gave some suggestions on their prescriptions, which actually meant adding the most effective medicinal ingredients.
The imperial doctors were actually not convinced, but they couldn't refute for Qin Hanzhang's sake, so they did something ridiculous: they divided the villagers into two groups, one group used the prescription developed by the imperial doctors, and the other group used Su Qianqian's method.
Although Su Qianqian was reluctant to experiment with the lives of the villagers, these imperial doctors were also ordered to control the plague. In theory, they were more qualified, so Su Qianqian agreed to this suggestion.
Su Qianqian took out a homemade protective suit. The imperial doctors were ashamed of such strict protection, so they only wore their official robes of the Imperial Physician's Office, covered their faces with a scarf, and walked into Cangshan Village.
"Ha, you are pretending to be fearless. If you don't believe in my third sister-in-law, you will cry one day! Those poor villagers have to let you torment them..."
Qin Yuzhuo muttered to himself and also put on protective clothing. The hooded clothes were made of oilcloth, revealing only a pair of eyes. He looked a little ridiculous.
The second and third old ladies also put it on, otherwise Su Qianqian would not allow them to enter the village.
Although Qin Hanzhang was worried, he still had to arrange the affairs outside, so he told Su Qianqian to take good care of herself.
"Don't worry, I will never put myself in danger for no reason." Su Qianqian narrowed her eyes and smiled, comforting Qin Hanzhang. She looked around and found that Xue Zhiqing was nowhere to be seen.
Walking into the village and approaching the houses was like walking into hell on earth. Although there were Chinese medicines hanging from Hongzhou doctors, the white cloths hanging on every door showed how fierce the epidemic was.
Divided by a road in the middle of the village, Su Qianqian started from the first house on the right side of the road and walked in to treat the villagers.
But in less than half a minute, Su Qianqian was driven out by a hideous and skinny young man holding a wooden stick.
"How can there be a doctor like you? You are clearly here to harm us!
Before, the doctors sold us herbal medicine and each prescription cost ten cents. When the medicine didn’t work, my mother passed away!
Later, the disaster relief workers sent us medicine, but they didn’t charge us any money. My grandparents took the medicine and died anyway. Are you trying to harm us again now? Like a ghost, is he here to summon souls? ”
Su Qianqian: ...
"What are you yelling at, young man? Our Lady Su is the best at treating epidemics. She came all the way from Xijing to save you. How can you be so ungrateful?"
The third old lady followed Su Qianqian's wishes and called her Madam Su, which made it easier for her to do things.
"So you're just a bitch, what can you do? I'd rather let my father die in peace than have you, a bitch, do anything to make him suffer again!"
The young man's face turned black and veins popped out on his hand that was holding the stick.
"Don't regret it. When the time comes, come and beg our Madam Su. Don't blame me for not reminding you that I will definitely not treat your father again!" Qin Yuzhuo was so angry that he pointed at the man and threatened him.
She explained her purpose in a nice way, but she didn't expect the man to start chasing her away. He even picked up a stick and swung it around after she tried to explain. If Su Qianqian hadn't held her back, Qin Yuzhuo really wanted to beat up the man.
"I will never beg you, just go away!"
Su Qianqian didn't say much and continued walking to the next house.
We visited several families one after another. The better ones let them go, saying that there were no sick people at home and they did not need medical treatment. The ones with bad attitudes even cursed at us.
"Third sister-in-law, I think we should not treat them. Let them fend for themselves. These ungrateful and unruly people deserve it..." Qin Yuzhuo was sweating because of the protective suit and was chased away by the villagers. He couldn't help complaining.
Su Qianqian looked at her, and Qin Yuzhuo didn't say the rest.
“These people are ignorant and do not understand many principles, so they need to be educated.
They are the people of Da Qi. Every meal and drink we have is the result of their labor. They plant in spring, harvest in autumn, fish and hunt, and work as peddlers and do business.
It is a merit for the Wuning Marquisate to shed blood to maintain peace in the area, and it is also a merit for them to sweat and work hard for the Great Qi. Without these people, where would you get food and clothing?
We need to make them understand the principles they don't understand. Ignoring them is not the solution. Just like when you were young and ignorant, did your mother ever tell you to fend for yourself and not care about you? ”
"Pfft..." The Third Old Lady couldn't help laughing. Seeing Qin Yuzhuo looking at her with resentment, she quickly raised her hand to fan the air in front of her: "Get some fresh air, get some fresh air..."
"Look at that house, something seems to have happened!" The second old lady pointed to a house in front of her with its gate wide open, and cries came from inside the wall...
