Chapter 45 Selected by Physician Sun
When Wan Qiqi came to the decoction area today, everyone's attitude towards her was noticeably different from yesterday.
Everyone avoided her like the plague, unwilling to have any contact with her. The people in charge of management even assigned her the rough and tiring work that no one else wanted to do.
Wan Qiqi didn't need to think much; she knew exactly what was going on.
The name "Wan Qiqi" alone is enough to turn her into a pariah.
Everything was caused by the original owner of the body, but she was not the original owner, so naturally she wouldn't argue with anyone about it; instead, she chose to accept it.
If she can pull through, once the plague is over, the villagers will discover a new her.
Those who deliberately made things difficult for Wan Qiqi found it unbelievable that she remained silent.
"Is she really Wan Qiqi? We haven't mistaken her for someone else, have we?"
"I'm sure it's her. She was just with the eldest son of the Chen family. Who else could it be but her?"
"Will Wan Qiqi come here? She'd probably be too busy running away to even think about it."
"That's why I suspect she has ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would she come here? There must be some conspiracy!"
"She's here to plot something?" The man looked at Wan Qiqi with a hint of confusion, half believing and half doubting.
Others came in because they had sick family members, but would she come for her family, or for Chen Yongliang?
The man thought about it and then rejected his own idea.
How could that be? She's Wan Qiqi, the one who's all about profit!
After finishing her work, Wan Qiqi followed the medicine delivery team to the patient area and soon arrived at the same room as yesterday.
Compared to yesterday, the room smelled much better today, and the people inside seemed much more energetic.
Patients with mild symptoms all received the same medication and carried it in the same basket.
As soon as Wan Qiqi entered, some energetic people immediately came over, took the medicine, and distributed it.
For those who woke up still feeling unwell, some people would offer them medicine and watch them drink it.
Wan Qiqi stood in the room and basically didn't need to do anything.
Seeing the people in the room who were lifeless yesterday now full of energy, she felt a surge of joy.
The fact that the medicine from the online store was helpful to the patient was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement for her.
Chen Yongliang sat up from the mat, drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and rubbed his arm, saying, "Sister-in-law, I feel completely better, I have so much energy!"
Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. How could he possibly get better so quickly?
She took the bowl from Chen Yongliang and said, "If you stop vomiting, cover your faces at the end to prevent reinfection and worsening of your condition."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
"Yes, I'll listen to you."
Compared to the other rooms, this room was noticeably more relaxed and joyful, making one feel as if the plague was not such a big deal.
In modern times, cholera has a very low mortality rate because there are targeted drugs and good conditions, but none of this was possible in ancient times.
Upon hearing that a group of patients with minor ailments had improved significantly, Dr. Sun took some time out of his busy schedule to examine them.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard cheerful laughter coming from inside, and he felt somewhat dazed.
He hadn't heard laughter for nearly twenty days; all he could hear were the patients' painful cries, sighs, and sobs.
The laughter gave him the illusion that the plague would end soon.
"Dr. Sun, you've arrived!" The person standing at the door greeted him with a smile as soon as he saw him.
Sun Langzhong was stunned for a long time before moving inside. He saw a group of people rummaging through their bags, covering their faces completely, just like the guards outside.
He asked, "What are you doing?"
"My sister-in-law told us to cover our faces so we could avoid getting infected again," Chen Yongliang said, covering his mouth and nose with a cloth.
Only then did Dr. Sun notice that besides the patient, there was a woman in the room whose face was completely covered, leaving only her eyes visible.
He looked her up and down, finding her familiar yet giving off a somewhat unfamiliar feeling.
"Master Sun." Wan Qiqi was also sizing up Master Sun at the same time.
Although the county government sent a doctor to assist, the responsibility of treating the patients in the village still fell on Doctor Sun's shoulders.
He looked to be only in his forties, but his hands were as withered and dry as an old man's.
Wan Qiqi guessed that this must be due to the fact that Dr. Sun's fingers were constantly touching various medicinal herbs.
"Who are you?"
Even with Chen Yongliang calling him "sister-in-law," Dr. Sun was still unsure who the person in front of him was.
“Yongnian’s wife, Chen Wanshi.”
In ancient times, all married women would take their husbands' surnames.
Sun Langzhong became even more confused after hearing this, and his expression became more serious as he scrutinized her. "You...you are Chen Wanshi?"
"right."
How do you know all this?
“My mother-in-law, Wang, had experienced the plague, and that’s how she taught me.”
Dr. Sun nodded, not doubting her words, and continued, "What else did your mother-in-law teach you?"
A glint flashed in Wan Qiqi's lowered eyes. She looked up and said, "All those who die from the plague must be cremated, otherwise their corpses will infect more people."
Is there anything else?
"Those infected with the plague should drink plenty of water, keep the surrounding area clean, and ensure proper ventilation in the house..."
When Sun Langzhong heard Wan Qiqi's words, it was as if he had found a kindred spirit. Many of the points Wan Qiqi made were exactly what he had thought, and there were even some things that he had not noticed. What she said made a lot of sense.
In fact, from the very beginning, he proposed to Chen Lizheng that Wang be involved in the treatment of the plague.
But Chen Lizheng felt that people like Wang, who had experienced the plague, should not be allowed to fall into the plague again.
