Among the first group of people who fell ill, two had fever and were unconscious, and had diarrhea and loose stools, and could only defecate where they slept...
Xu Yiding looked at the patient lying there waiting to die and shook his head helplessly.
He turned around and pulled Wen Ruzhu out, both of them feeling heavy-hearted.
After a long while, Wen Ruzhu asked weakly.
"Old man, are we just going to watch them die of illness?"
"That's certainly the case at the moment. I'll give you another dose."
That night, the two villagers who couldn't get up couldn't hold on any longer and passed away.
Xiushui suggested burning the body, but both families disagreed.
They felt that if a person had already died and had to suffer the pain of burning after death, it would be even more unfilial.
For this reason, Xiushui couldn't persuade him any further.
In fact, it is very good to be able to bury the dead relatives on the way to escape famine.
The whole village hurriedly attended this funeral.
They chose a hillside where the people had fled from famine and buried the bodies there. The whole village stood aside in silence.
Turning around and setting off again, someone suppressed their tears.
"This might just be the beginning. How many of our team members will be able to survive after we arrive at the destination?"
"My daughter also had a fever this morning. She's only three years old..."
Listening to these discussions, Xiushui turned around and found Xu Yiding.
"My dear, please give this medicine to the one who can't get up for the time being. I used a slightly poisonous potion this time."
"Slightly poisonous?"
Old Xu frowned.
"Well, it's all going to die anyway. We've used mild and normal fever-reducing and diarrhea-reducing drugs, but they can't stop it. So I'll use a slightly toxic one. Maybe that will help."
Looking at the shy smile on her lips, Xu Yiding nodded.
"Yeah, I understand. Now all we can do is try the medicine."
What if I don't try? If I don't try, I'll die. If I try, I might have a chance of survival.
Just like choosing whether to leave or stay.
In fact, many people on the street now start complaining after seeing the disease and think they should stay.
"If we stay, at least we can survive a little longer. Let's stay for ten days. Maybe the situation outside will be much better."
"Nonsense! The situation outside is already very serious. We'll have to leave sooner or later. Do you think this nonsense can solve the problem?"
Just shut up and walk faster, and you'll get there soon."
Some people also complained.
“I used to think the doctors in our team were great, but now it seems that country doctors are just country doctors, and they are not as famous as the city doctors.
No wonder doctors in the clinic charge nearly one or two taels of silver for a visit, but this country doctor can only watch the patient collapse and wait for death."
"That's right, they also said that Xiushui from the Wen family was a lucky star, and that she was a medical genius... Ugh, I think that's just how it is.
If you are sick, you can’t be cured either, so what are you bragging about…”
"Mrs. Zheng, your family is not allowed to come to our family for medical treatment from now on. From now on, my sister will no longer treat your family."
Hei Mei came out and splashed a mouthful of mud on Old Lady Zheng. She turned around and was so angry that she stopped Zheng's grandson and started a fight.
The old lady heard about this that night, but she didn't blame Hei Mei. She just touched her and said that fighting was not good and she should try to use her brain in the future.
But during the meal, he still told the three doctors in the family that they could no longer treat the Zheng family.
"We must do what your sister said. Even if a Zheng family member dies of illness in front of us, we can't watch it."
Xiushui nodded lightly, still immersed in her own pharmacology.
Ruzhu was very angry.
"That's too much. We've always said we were still learning, and we never boasted about being miracle doctors.
This group of people come to us for treatment when they are sick, and if we cannot cure them, they say our medical skills are poor.
If our level is really high, can this disease still cause an epidemic?"
Seeing that she was extremely angry, Xu Yiding tried to comfort her with a few words.
"In fact, this is something that we as doctors will encounter sooner or later. This will not be the first case, nor will it be the last.
If you choose this path in the future, you will have to endure countless criticisms like this. So, girl, are you really determined to become a doctor?"
Wen Ruzhu nodded without any regret.
"Well, I've made up my mind. I will definitely be a good doctor in the future."
Xu Yiding felt both relieved and distressed after hearing this.
But he also secretly vowed to try his best to make the little girl suffer the same hardships he had once suffered.
Wen Bibo, however, was very open-minded.
"If you have made up your mind, just do it. No matter how well you do, there will always be people who find fault with you.
Who doesn't talk about others behind their backs? As long as we are true to ourselves and our conscience, that's all that matters."
Wen Ruzhu chuckled and nodded.
Seeing that my niece was still immersed in medical knowledge, I stopped disturbing her.
It was another day of checking patients, and Xu Yiding thought he would see a seriously ill person become even more seriously ill.
Or there might be another puddle of liquid where you are lying.
However, after entering, I saw that the man was sleeping peacefully. I asked the person next to him and found out that he had not defecated all day.
Moreover, after they left in the morning, the man said he was hungry and drank a bowl of porridge.
"You said he was hungry and asked for food, but he never had a bowel movement after eating?"
Xu Yiding's hands were shaking with excitement.
If this is true, doesn’t it mean that they have found the right medicine to cure this plague?
"Yes, he ate and fell asleep immediately, without going to the bathroom. He slept so soundly that we were worried at first, thinking he had died in his sleep.
But now it seems that he is snoring in his sleep. Does this... seem to be a sign of improvement?"
Xu Yiding laughed out loud.
"Yeah, it should be getting better."
"Great, great, old man, we are saved now. You don't know that our horses and cows have also shown symptoms.
I don't even dare look at the village chief and Uncle Chu Wu, let alone my Fourth Uncle, for fear they'll ask me with painful eyes if the animals can be saved! It's so stressful being stared at by them."
Xu Yiding laughed out loud.
"Yes, I'm always stressed too. Hurry up and tell Xiushui that we'll follow the prescription she prescribed from now on."
In this way, both people and animals were saved."
When this news was transmitted to Xiushui, a large number of people who were accompanying them also knew about it.
"That's great, Lao Wu. Our son finally doesn't have to die. Woohoo, we don't have to stab him with a knife anymore. Our son is saved, he's saved."
Chu Wu's wife couldn't contain her joy and hugged Chu Laowu.
The latter laughed and kissed his wife several times.
"Yes, wife, our son is saved, saved. What did I say? What did I say? I said that Xiushui is a lucky star, right? Hahahaha... With her around, we'll all be fine."
