Chapter 248, Hold On
Daohua and his group were personally sent to Xingyun Prefecture by Lu Shuo.
Now the city gate only allows entry but not exit. Seeing the city gate close again, Lu Shuo took a deep breath.
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed, and it is indeed true.
There were actually quite a few children of aristocratic families trapped in the city, but only two families had people come to visit them in person: the Dong family and the Yan family. The other families almost all just sent servants to take a look.
Looking at the carts of medicinal herbs and several large bags of masks piled up by the city gate, Lu Shuo's expression relaxed a little. He then walked over with his men, took away two bags of masks, and prepared to distribute them to the soldiers.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, wearing it always gives you peace of mind.
Xingyuan.
The house where Xiao Yeyang and others live.
"What did you say, Rice Flower is coming?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at the soldiers who came to report first with surprise. After the shock, he was filled with joy. However, in just a moment, it was replaced by deep worry.
"Why did this girl come here at this time? Doesn't she know it's dangerous here? The same goes for General Lu Shuo. Why did they let her into the city?"
To avoid infection, the soldiers stood outside the gate and answered the call.
The soldier looked up at Xiao Yeyang and whispered, "The general was reluctant at first, but later, Miss Yan took out your jade pendant, young prince, and he let you go."
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
He gave the Rice Flower Jade Pendant to support her, but she used it in these places.
The soldier said: "Young Prince, Miss Yan should be here soon. She has brought a lot of medicinal herbs. Oh, and there are two doctors. I still have to guard the city gate, so I will take my leave now."
Xiao Yeyang nodded.
Not long after the soldiers left, Daohua and his group arrived.
Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang from a distance, and seeing that he looked a little unhappy, she immediately frowned.
"What are you doing here? Do you know that this place is closed now?" As soon as Daohua arrived, Xiao Yeyang said with a look of disapproval.
"Are you okay?"
Daohua was not in the mood to discuss this issue with him, so she asked directly about his physical condition.
Xiao Yeyang's expression changed: "What could possibly happen to me? I just haven't had a rest these days."
Behind him, Defu looked at his master worriedly, glanced at Daohua quickly, and when he saw Daohua looking at him, he lowered his head silently.
Daohua had a guess in her mind, pursed her lips and said nothing more: "I'm already here, and you let me stand outside the door?"
Xiao Yeyang did not respond. He was silent for a moment and said, "You just came in. I'll have someone escort you out."
Before he could finish his words, Daohua walked straight through the gate, walked past Xiao Yeyang, and headed towards the house: "I finally got here, how could I leave!"
As he said that, he paused and turned to look at Xiao Yeyang: "I'm going to go see my eldest brother and the others first. You haven't had a good rest these days, right? Go and have some rest. I'll come see you later."
Then, his gaze moved and fell on Defu.
"Eunuch Defu, please send someone to lead the way for me. By the way," he pointed at the people and herbs he brought, "please find a courtyard to help arrange it. We may have to stay here for a while."
Defu nodded immediately: "Don't worry, young lady, I will arrange it right away."
Daohua smiled and said, "Thank you."
The courtyard where the Yan brothers lived.
These days, Yan Wenkai's condition has become increasingly serious, and he has now fallen into a coma. Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao have been guarding outside Yan Wenkai's room, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
When they heard that Rice Flowers were coming, both of them changed color.
"Why did grandma let Daohua come here?"
"Why did mother agree to let Daohua come?"
Both of them looked incredulous. After a moment, they guessed the reason and felt guilty.
It must be for them!
If it weren't for the three of them, her family would never have let Daohua take the risk.
Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao walked out of the yard quickly. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw Daohua.
Daohua trotted forward and first took a look at the faces of her two brothers. Seeing that they looked fine, though a little tired, she breathed a sigh of relief. After that, without bothering to exchange pleasantries, she asked directly, "Big brother, third brother, where is fourth brother?"
Yan Wenxiu sighed: "It's good that you're here, go see your fourth brother!"
Upon hearing this, Daohua's heart sank. Without saying anything more, she went straight into the yard and said as she walked, "Big brother, third brother, tell me about fourth brother's situation."
Yan Wentao quickly said, "It started with diarrhea, and then vomiting and diarrhea."
As they were talking, everyone came to the outside of Yan Wenkai's room.
"Big brother, third brother, you guys stay outside. I'll go in and take a look. Man'er, take some people to boil water and disinfect this yard." After saying this, Daohua entered Yan Wenkai's room without waiting for others to react. Yan Wenxiu didn't have time to stop her.
"Big sister, please come out quickly. The doctor said that we can't get too close to each other. Be careful of infection."
Yan Wenxiu said anxiously.
After hearing this, Wang Maner immediately said, "Uncle, Third Master, don't worry. The girl knows medicine and she knows what to do." Then she took Guyu and Lixia to boil water.
Inside the house, Daohua checked Yan Wenkai's condition and, combined with what Yan Wentao had said before, she had a general understanding of it.
In her previous life, she had seen many prescriptions for treating plague, but she didn't know the specific situation before, so it was difficult to use the medicine. Now that she has a general idea in her mind, she can prescribe the prescription as appropriate.
After that, Daohua and the others got busy.
"What are they doing?"
Looking at Wang Maner and a few servants sprinkling medicine all over the yard, everyone else looked puzzled.
"When they say they're disinfecting, they mean preventing infection with the plague, right?"
"Was it helpful?"
"There should be, right? Didn't you see that Old Doctor Xu didn't say anything?"
“Before, there were only a few people infected in the mansion, but now people are lying down every day. If the infection can be curbed, it would be a great thing.”
After preparing Yan Wenkai's medicine and feeding it to him, Daohua found Defu.
Defu: "Miss Yan, do you have anything to tell me?"
Daohua got straight to the point: "Is Xiao Yeyang sick too?"
Defu was silent for a while and nodded.
Daohua: "Why isn't he resting yet? I just saw him running around."
Defu's face was bitter: "Master has no choice but to hold on. Right now, everyone in the mansion, no, I should say the entire Xingyun City, is on the verge of collapse."
"For many people, the master is the hope of survival. If the master also falls, the city will surely be in chaos. Although the governor has sent soldiers to garrison, that small number of people is simply not enough to stop the desperate victims."
Daohua frowned: "So, he just holds on?"
Defu: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Daohua rubbed his forehead and was silent for a while. "Fourth brother is sick, and it's not easy for eldest and third brothers to live here. So, you can ask Xiao Yeyang to move into this courtyard so I can take care of him together. Oh, and eldest brother Dong, let him move in too. That way, I don't have to run around from courtyard to courtyard."
Defu nodded immediately, then looked at Daohua expectantly: "Miss Yan, the master..."
Daohua knew what he wanted to ask and interrupted him: "It's okay."
The plague is very serious, but it can actually be controlled as long as we find the right method and curb the spread.
