Chapter 223: Basically no threat to life
Judging from her expression, Mo Jiuye and Tang Mingrui both guessed a good result.
Tang Mingrui couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Mo, my sister doesn't have smallpox, right?"
He Zhiran nodded: "Well, she really didn't have smallpox."
After a pause, she continued, "But this disease is also contagious. If treated properly, it is basically not life-threatening."
Tang Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.
Just when he was about to ask He Zhiran about the treatment method, an old doctor came to the door of the clinic.
The old doctor seemed to have some common sense. He had a scarf covering his face and stood five or six meters away from the others.
"My dear lady, are you going to die?
I advise you to stay away from them, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
He Zhiran knew that the other party's words were for her own good.
"Are you the doctor here?" He Zhiran stood up and looked straight at the latter.
The old doctor nodded and said, "I am the doctor of this clinic. Young lady, please listen to my advice and leave immediately!"
He Zhiran had already confirmed that the little girl's illness was not smallpox, so he naturally had to explain it clearly to avoid causing chaos in the city.
"Doctor, she doesn't have smallpox. If you don't believe me, just look at her face. The herpes is on the surface, which is completely different from smallpox."
The old doctor didn't believe He Zhiran's words at all. He had been practicing medicine for most of his life, how could he not even know about smallpox?
This woman was so young, and she had the audacity to say in front of her that this was not smallpox. It was simply foolish.
The old doctor didn't intend to explain too much. Fortunately, he just glanced at the little girl and didn't have too close contact with her.
He had just sent his apprentice out through the back door to report the smallpox outbreak in the city to the county magistrate. Now all he had to do was close the shop and make some tonic to drink, and he would be able to safely survive this smallpox epidemic.
When He Zhiran saw the old doctor close the door of the clinic, he probably thought that the old doctor didn't believe what he said at all.
It doesn’t matter to her whether others believe it or not. She must save Tang Mingrui’s life.
"Mr. Tang, take your sister home first. I promise I can cure her illness."
Tang Mingrui was so excited that he almost cried when he heard this.
You know, there were only a few people in the family who escaped. If his sister died again, he would have one less relative.
"Thank you, Sister Mo. I will take you home now."
Mo Jiuye pulled the mule cart over and followed Tang Mingrui to his home in Yuncheng.
Tang Mingrui and He Zhiran made some money from the doll business they collaborated on, and while on the road they found an opportunity to make a small profit.
When he arrived in Yuncheng, he already had more than one thousand taels of silver in his hand.
Houses in Yuncheng were not expensive. He spent five hundred taels and bought a large courtyard in the city center.
The family lives there now.
He had already inquired about the specific location of the Mohist family at the government office, and had planned to visit them after settling his family down.
Unexpectedly, just when everything was arranged, my sister suddenly broke out in a rash.
Fortunately, he met He Zhiran today, otherwise, if his sister was really diagnosed with smallpox by the old doctor, he would definitely report it to the government.
Once the authorities find out, they will definitely take my sister and her entire family away and isolate them.
If they encountered kind officials, it would be fine. But if they encountered officials who didn't take the people seriously, they would even kill them directly...
Thinking of this, Tang Mingrui felt scared from the bottom of his heart.
The mule cart took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at Tang Mingrui's home.
Now, Mo Jiuye and his wife had no time to look around the Tang family's yard. They followed Tang Mingrui directly to the little girl's room in the backyard.
Seeing her son coming back with her daughter, Mrs. Tang and her entire family came to greet them.
"Mingrui, how is Mingxin?"
Tang Mingrui didn't bother to explain too much to his mother at this moment.
"Mom, my sister is fine. Sister Mo can treat her."
As he spoke, Tang Mingrui had already carried Tang Mingxin into the room.
Mrs. Tang had come into contact with Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran on her way to the northwest, so she was not unfamiliar with them.
She knew that saving her daughter was the most important thing at the moment, so she just nodded politely to the two of them.
The best way to treat Tang Mingxin's chickenpox is Western medicine combined with intravenous drip.
In this era, you don’t have to think about drips and drips, you can only choose Western medicine.
She has a lot of Western medicine in her space, and even if she doesn’t have it, she can buy it on Taobao, so there is no need to worry about that.
He Zhiran carefully checked Tang Mingxin's physical condition and then stood up.
"There's medicine in the mule cart. I'll get it and give it to the little girl right away."
The mule cart was parked in the front yard of the Tang family, and He Zhiran got directly into the cart.
She used her mind to enter the space and prepared various medicines to treat Tang Mingxin's chickenpox.
She specially prepared the medicine in capsule form, peeled off the outer coating and then wrapped it in oil paper so that no one would be suspicious when she took it out.
After the medicine was ready, He Zhiran returned to Tang Mingxin's room.
She handed a few small paper bags to Tang Mingrui.
"I made these medicines myself. They are just right for treating the little girl's illness."
Tang Mingrui gratefully took the medicine given by He Zhiran and fed it to his sister according to her instructions.
He Zhiran observed Tang Mingxin's condition for a while and found that her fever had subsided.
She asked again, and Tang Mingxin also said that everything was fine except that she felt weak.
It can be seen from this that Tang Mingxin's condition has been controlled and she just needs to take the medicine on time.
"The little girl has been resting in bed for the past few days and trying to reduce her activities. She will be fully recovered in about ten days."
After hearing her words, the Tang family members breathed a sigh of relief.
To be on the safe side, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye were not in a hurry to leave the Tang family. They planned to observe for a while before leaving.
Mrs. Tang hurriedly prepared lunch.
It just so happened that both of them were a little hungry, so they didn't hesitate.
Until the evening, Tang Mingxin's condition remained stable, and He Zhiran was relieved.
"It's getting late, so we won't bother you any more. We're staying in Xiling Village now. When the little girl recovers, you're welcome to visit us."
Mrs. Tang and Tang Mingrui saw them out.
As soon as I reached the gate, I saw a group of officials with their mouths and noses covered with cloth going from house to house.
At this moment, two people happened to be walking towards the Tang family.
One of the officers was Ma Junshan, a familiar figure to Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran.
When Ma Junshan saw the two of them, his attitude became more polite than usual.
"Master Mo Jiu, Madam Jiu, why are you still in the city?"
With such a big incident happening in the city, the people from the surrounding villages ran back home early, fearing that they would be trapped here if they were too late and the city gates were blocked.
When the two men saw the officials going from house to house, they guessed their purpose. It was simply that the government had already learned that someone had contracted smallpox and was looking for him.
"Are you searching for people with smallpox?"
"That's true." Ma Junshan was in a hurry to finish his work and go back to rest. He responded and planned to enter the Tang family to search.
