Ji Changchuan couldn't control the shock on his face: "That looks like our mule?"
Ji Minghao replied calmly: "Indeed."
Zhou carried the entire mule and pulled a carriage behind her, so that her small figure was completely submerged.
From a distance, I thought the mule was floating on the ground.
After Ji Fengshou saw the situation clearly, he quickly stepped forward and waved his arms across his chest, "Madam! Stop!"
Zhou rushed forward in one breath, threw off the mule on her back, and panted: "I was almost exhausted to death!"
The mule kicked the air twice on the ground, turned over and stood up, looking fine.
Mrs. Hu was shocked: "Sister-in-law, why are you running with the pile of things on your shoulders?"
"Yes! Yue Niang, why are you carrying the mule? You must be tired, right?" Zhang Dazui said with a gossipy look and a face full of curiosity.
"Don't even mention it! Ah Ying told me to lead the mule and hurry along, but it got sick and wouldn't move, so I had to carry it on my back and run. I was only halfway there when its hooves kicked around, so I had to carry it all the way up. Because of the carriage behind me, I couldn't carry it sideways, so I had to carry it by its belly, which delayed everything!"
Zhou was full of indignation. What kind of mule was this? She would kill it and eat its meat when she got home!
····
Everyone was silent.
I don’t know what to say about this.
The patriarch opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.
"Where is Aying?" Ji Fengyi glanced behind her and was a little worried when he didn't see Ji Changying.
Ji Fengshou was fine: "She must have been delayed in the back."
"No need to wait, let's go first. She rides faster than us!" Zhou just wanted to sit comfortably on the mule cart and take a rest.
That was true. Ji Fengyi discussed it with the clan leader and decided to leave the city first.
Ji Fengshou checked the mule and found nothing wrong with it. He took out some fodder and fed it a few mouthfuls before driving the mule cart out.
"I'm going to chop it up sooner or later! It won't leave me alone, but it's so obedient in your hands. Isn't this bullying?"
Zhou looked at the mule, which had become obedient in Ji Fengshou's hands, with a face full of anger.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm going to beat it up now to vent your anger!" Ji Fengshou whipped the mule righteously.
The mule seemed to be encouraged, and it started running at full speed with all four hooves.
Zhou became even more angry after seeing this.
With a mule cart leading the way, Ji's people covered their mouths and noses as soon as they left the city gate and followed the mule carts, rushing forward without stopping, walking towards Gan County.
They had already inquired and found out that Gan County was just to the west of Liangzhou. If they walked west without turning, they would reach the destination in a day.
As soon as you leave the city gate, the road is filled with the smell of feces on both sides.
There are fewer refugees in the west of the city these past two days, but new ones have rejoined, and they all look very miserable.
Although different refugees were housed separately, they were still infected over long distances.
Ji Changying chased all the way from the government office to the west of the city. Just as he was planning to speed up his pace to pass through the refugee resettlement sites, he saw Mr. Huang and Xie Siheng in a straw hut.
"I didn't expect you to be here?" Ji Changying looked at them busy in the straw hut with some surprise.
Old Huang and several doctors were busy in the straw hut, and Xie Siheng also humbled himself and squatted on the ground, busying himself with making fire, adding water and herbs.
They were both a little surprised to hear her voice: "Why are you here?"
Ji Changying pointed to the west and said, "We are going to Gan County for resettlement. I saw you coming to say goodbye."
Xie Siheng stopped and glanced over there: "Congratulations on your hard work and success."
Ji Changying's eyebrows curved: "I hope so."
Huang Lao pulled her aside and said, "Come and help me take a look! These refugees are not from the same group. I have clearly separated them, so why are they still infecting each other? And their diarrhea shouldn't be this severe."
"But some people suffer from diarrhea to the point of death! No matter how many prescriptions they try, it won't stop. Some people's condition improves only to suddenly get worse again."
"I've tried several different prescriptions, but some people's symptoms got better, while others got worse. There's absolutely no pattern to it, it's really strange!"
Someone sprinkled alcohol inside the straw hut for disinfection.
When several doctors saw Mr. Huang pulling Ji Changying to ask questions, they looked at her in surprise without saying anything.
"I'm not a doctor and I don't know how to treat illnesses, but I do know that people who have diarrhea for a long time will become dehydrated and need to drink salt and sugar water to replenish their water. Also, besides air, have you ever considered that their feces may also contain 'toxins' that can be transmitted?"
There are many types of dysentery, and this one is very similar to bacterial or viral dysentery.
She had no idea how this disease was treated in ancient times and could only provide some ideas in a tactful way.
"Salt and sugar water? Why add salt?" Old Huang looked at her with sharp eyes.
Ji Changying made up a story casually: "This is a folk remedy from our hometown. Drink this when you have diarrhea. Adding salt will make you feel much better when you have diarrhea that makes you feel weak."
Xie Siheng was thoughtful after hearing her words: "If it is true as you said, that besides air, feces can also be transmitted, then does it mean that those people whose conditions had improved before were about to get better, but because of this infection, their conditions have become more serious?"
Ji Changying gave him an approving look. "That's possible. So if we want to solve this problem thoroughly, we need to group them together. Those with diarrhea should be taken to one place according to their location. We can't just leave the feces there. We need to disinfect them first and then process them. Those who died from this shouldn't be thrown into a mass grave. It's best to burn them."
At this point, regardless of whether this method would work or not, they finally had a clue. One of the doctors immediately stood up and said, "I'll give it a try!"
Xie Siheng asked Mr. Huang, "This thatch water is naturally sweet. Adding sugar is too expensive. Is it okay to add salt to this water?"
"add!"
Mr. Huang made a decision quickly and turned around to discuss adjusting the prescription with several doctors nearby.
Ji Changying didn't disturb them and prepared to leave quietly.
Xie Siheng helped her onto the horse: "Then three thousand taels..."
"Well, there's no rush for this. Let's talk about it when we have time!"
Ji Changying rarely felt guilty and felt a little embarrassed to take the money at this point.
Xie Siheng smiled and nodded: "I'm staying in the palace temporarily. If you have any problems, you can find me there."
Ji Changying waved her hand casually: "Let's go! I hope you can find a suitable prescription soon."
"drive!"
The black horse was like a streak of light, galloping away with Ji Changying.
Looking at her receding back, Xie Siheng's eyes gradually became silent.
Now that he has arrived in Liangzhou, he will definitely find that person as his mother said.
He gestured behind him, and a secret guard stood behind him silently.
"How is it? Any clues?" Xie Siheng's voice was low and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The secret guard behind him lowered his head and said, "Twenty years have passed, and it's still unknown whether that person is dead or alive. We haven't found him yet. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"No rush, we're already here now, keep looking! Be quiet and don't alarm my uncle and cousin."
"yes!"
