He Tiantian decisively opened her online store and bought some water for herself to take a bath.
She even splurged on a few bottles of mineral water, but after getting used to the unpolluted well water in the village, she felt that the mineral water didn't taste so good anymore.
He Tiantian continued searching in the mall; she wanted to buy a book about the plague.
After searching for a long time, she actually found it.
When He Tiantian saw the title "Encyclopedia of Plague Treatment," her eyes lit up.
The book cover also has a line of small print: "A complete record of plagues from ancient times to the present, so that you can stay healthy, prevent disease, and live a long and healthy life."
Although the slogans were exaggerated and a book cost two taels of silver, He Tiantian still bought it despite the pain.
After patrolling during the day, He Tiantian roughly knew the characteristics of this plague.
In the early stages of infection, apart from a dry throat and elevated body temperature, there are no other discomforts. After another four or five days, severe high fever, dizziness, and a violent cough will occur.
Within ten days, which is the later stage of the plague infection, people became so feverish that they could not move and began to exhibit symptoms such as delirium.
In the end, all the internal organs are burned to the point of failure, and the person dies.
He Tiantian then began to study the book page by page, following the symptoms of the plague.
Unlike at home, where there are table lamps at night, a candle was lit in the government office.
Even so, this was still the best-off family in the city. In the homes of the poor, even oil lamps had to be used sparingly.
He Tiantian flipped through the pages of a book as thick as a brick very quickly.
It's unbelievable how many kinds of plague there are; there are probably thousands of them recorded, big and small.
He Tiantian read until the early hours of the morning, folding up all the similar parts she saw, planning to ask Dr. Liu about them the next day.
Having moved to a new place, He Tiantian didn't sleep very well that night, possibly because she was unfamiliar with the new bed.
Breakfast was brought directly to my room: a bowl of congee and three meat buns.
Zhao Xiaohe's room was right next to He Tiantian's, separated by a wall. He Tiantian could hear Zhao Xiaohe cheering excitedly about the meat buns.
She ate two meat buns and drank a bowl of porridge. She wrapped the other one up and put it in her pocket.
Today she was going to visit the disaster victims in the western district. She took a few packs of masks and tossed them to Zhao Xiaohe, asking him to deliver them to the county magistrate.
Just as I stepped out of the courtyard, I happened to run into Dr. Liu, who was walking towards me.
Doctor Liu was dressed in a white robe, and his hair and beard were white, giving him a rather ethereal and otherworldly air.
He Tiantian thought to herself, "As expected, medical students pay great attention to their health."
This Dr. Liu is so old, yet he looks very healthy.
"Miracle Doctor, where are you going?" Because of yesterday's misunderstanding, He Tiantian decided to put aside her pride and give Miracle Doctor Liu a way out.
Seeing He Tiantian's sincere attitude, Doctor Liu's expression and tone softened.
"I was just planning to go to the West District to see the disaster victims. I wonder how yesterday's prescription is going. I'll go and check on them."
After Dr. Liu finished speaking, his gaze fell on the book that He Tiantian was holding.
The book prominently displayed the words "Encyclopedia of Plague Treatment." Doctor Liu pointed to the book in He Tiantian's hand and asked hesitantly, "This...is a book about the plague?"
He Tiantian nodded, "I've been looking at it all night, but there's so much information in it that I can't match it up with the others right away."
The two walked together outside the government office and then got into the same carriage.
He Tiantian originally wanted to sit outside the carriage, but Doctor Liu insisted that he sit inside the carriage while he himself sat outside.
He secretly rubbed his hands together, deeply regretting that he had spoken harshly to Madam He in his haste yesterday.
Dr. Liu really wants to read that book!
If he hadn't seen it today, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep for the next few days.
There were few people on the road. The county magistrate had ordered everyone to stay home.
If procurement is needed, it is all done by officers and soldiers in a unified manner, and then distributed.
After much deliberation, Magistrate Liu finally made up his mind.
He coughed and said, "Young lady, may I borrow that book you're holding to take a look?"
Separated by a blue curtain, He Tiantian, sitting inside, heard Doctor Liu's speech.
She was reading the book while walking in the car when she heard Doctor Liu speaking, and He Tiantian paused in her reading.
The book she bought was a modern version, all in regular script. Aside from the large characters on the cover in traditional script, which Dr. Liu could understand, he probably wouldn't recognize the characters inside.
“Oh…okay, okay…ah,” He Tiantian replied haltingly.
She quickly opened her online store, sold the book she had, and then bought a book in traditional Chinese characters.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and He Tiantian handed the book to Doctor Liu.
He lied and said, "I originally wanted to ask the miracle doctor to study this together last night, but it was already late and I was afraid of disturbing the miracle doctor's rest."
Doctor Liu was overjoyed and excitedly turned to the first page of the book.
“Divine Doctor, I’ve looked through most of the front sections and haven’t found anything particularly similar to this plague. Why don’t you start looking from the back? Perhaps there are detailed records of this plague here,” He Tiantian suggested.
"Good, good." Doctor Liu excitedly flipped through the pages again from back to front.
In fact, He Tiantian could perfectly understand Dr. Liu's feelings right now. As a doctor, encountering a book that interests you is an inexplicable passion.
