On the road to the capital, a luxurious carriage was escorted forward.
Inside the car, the woman was holding her child and crying out in pain.
"Master, Master... Hong'er can't control his bowel movements. What should we do? What should we do?"
The man with half-white hair looked haggard.
He stared blankly into the distance.
"What can I do? Hong'er is my only son. I want him to be alive."
"Looking for a doctor! Anyone who can cure Hong'er will be rewarded with five hundred taels... no, even one thousand taels will do."
The man burst into tears.
"Madam, I also want to pay for someone who can treat me well. I've already found so many people. I spent hundreds of taels on them. How are they doing?
The more you treat it, the worse it gets, Hong'er... Daddy's Hong'er..."
The man screamed in pain, and the woman, seeing him like this, hugged the child in her arms in despair.
"It's over. This is really God's will to wipe out my Xu family. I shouldn't have asked you to come back with me this time. Now it's over, my Hong'er, if you can't survive, what's the point of me living? It's me who harmed you, and it's me who harmed you..."
She murmured to herself, looking at the child in her arms with tears in her eyes, and sometimes, a trace of despair flashed across her face...
Seeing her like this, the master knew what his wife was thinking.
He didn't want to persuade him, because he couldn't imagine how he would survive if his only son, whom he had been waiting for for many years, died.
Just then, someone outside the car shouted.
"Madam, Master, there is salvation, there is salvation, the young master is saved."
"What's the rescue? Explain clearly?"
"I heard someone say earlier that the people in Houshan Village had developed a way to cure the plague.
Our young master is saved. This old slave also asked around, and found out that the people from Houshan Village are resting in the small town ahead. We will carry our young master and go find them.
Oh, they said they only prescribe prescriptions, and you have to figure out the medicine yourself."
"Okay, let's go find someone, someone from Houshan Village."
The followers looked at each other and expressed doubt: How could a person from a mountain village understand?
This is a plague. The reason why a plague is called an epidemic is that it is difficult to cure.
If everyone in a village can be cured easily, then are the doctors hired by the owner earlier vegetarians?
You know, those people are really famous.
If it weren't for those doctors, given the young master's health, he would have died within two days of falling ill.
It has been more than ten days since the onset of the disease, and my life has been saved only thanks to the doctors and money.
The guards were puzzled, but they didn't say much.
The boss is obviously desperate and trying every possible means. If it really worked, their relatives wouldn't have passed away.
If it is really possible, perhaps their relatives can do it too?
With all sorts of ideas in mind, the group soon arrived at the town mentioned above.
"Please make way, please make way, we have a dying patient."
When the plague is spreading, people shouldn't be queuing or crowding, but at this moment, many people are gathered around a strange tent, all craning their necks to look forward eagerly.
Qian Rongtian held his child and walked forward patiently, while his wife squeezed to the front to ask people.
"Is this where the miracle doctor is? Can he really cure the plague? As long as he can, we're willing to spend any amount of money."
"I heard it's possible. If not, how could this group of people dare to go to the plague area? Besides, didn't you see that even the sick people in their group are sitting half-sitting and drinking soup.
The key is that the sick people are only a few old and young, and I saw that the young ones couldn't lie down anymore and wanted to run away."
"Yes, several hundred people. I heard they came from Xing County, which is so far away. It must have taken them at least ten days to get here.
After ten days of work, they only treated about ten patients, and all of them were able to sit or half-sit, which shows that they are indeed capable."
"Great, great, my Hong'er is saved, saved..."
The woman's eyes were filled with tears.
She was in her thirties and had risked her life to give birth to her only son. If he died now, how would her parents' and her husband's family feel about the money he and her husband earned?
Thinking that the child was saved, it was equivalent to saving both herself and her husband, and the woman cried with joy.
Although there were many people queuing, the treatment was completed very quickly.
The couple approached with their child in their arms. When they saw the two girls sitting there, they were stunned like the people before them.
This, this doctor is a little too young.
The key point is, usually doctors are mostly men. How come there are two such young girls here?
The couple, who were originally full of confidence, were now nervous.
In fact, some people have raised some doubts.
"Well, young doctor, we're not questioning you, but whether you're too young. This is a plague, a plague...
Can you really cure it? Doctor, please don’t be angry, I’m just asking.”
The two young doctors didn't even raise their heads.
"If you only need a prescription for a consultation, the wealthy can give ten copper coins, while the poor can do more charity after they recover.
If you need to drink medicine or something, it costs 500 coins per person, just one meal. You still have to get the medicine after we leave.
Don't ask why we don't help. We are just a group of refugees. The reason we can open a temporary clinic here is because we see that we are all in trouble.
If you don't believe it, don't read it. Just stand aside. No further explanation. Please, next person."
Hearing the little girl's hoarse voice, everyone swallowed their anger, no matter how much they objected.
Qian Rongtian smiled sadly and spoke loudly.
“It’s been said that this is a plague, but the county doctors can’t do anything about it.
Now we trust people and just go to the doctor. After all, apart from here, other doctors can make a lot of money if they have any solutions.
I saw that the two doctors’ charges were not expensive, which was quite reasonable at the time. Why were you all arguing about it?
If you don't want to watch, please move aside. We are here to watch anyway."
"That's right, those who don't want to see the doctor or have doubts, please move aside. We are still waiting to see the doctor. Doctor, if you can keep silent, please don't. We are all worried that your throat will be damaged."
Wen Ruzhu glanced at these people and sighed inwardly again.
He silently glanced at the old man who was supervising the boiling of medicine. The old man said that he would not see the patient if he did not want to. There were so many people but he just pushed them out.
The aunt and niece took this opportunity to see quite a few clinical patients.
To be honest, these plagues are all very similar and there is no need to examine them in detail.
But the old man said that if they want to be good doctors, they must seize every opportunity to gain experience.
And now is the best time to gain experience.
Because of this, Xiushui would check other illnesses of these people while he was seeing them.
When it was finally Qian Rongtian's family's turn, Xiushui put her hand on the child's pulse and let out a soft "hmm".
