Saying that, Rongrong poked the little maid's forehead again.
"How bad did that ugly monster do to me? I used to have such a good reputation, but now? How many people are asking about me behind my back, laughing at me, and how many people are spreading rumors about me in the city? Although it's open to the public I'm still a young lady, but now it's obvious that many people don't respect me. If this continues, there will be no room for me in the City Lord's Mansion!"
"That woman targeted me like this, so I have to fight back. The greatest revenge on a woman is to take away her most precious thing. That man follows her every day. He might be her sweetheart. King Cang can't count on him. , there is no way an ordinary man could refuse me, so I don’t believe anyone can escape from my Wuzhishan..."
Listening to Rong Rong's words, the little maid nodded repeatedly, "Young madam is smart! Young madam is extremely beautiful. She is much more beautiful than that ugly guy. Maybe that young man has already annoyed her. As soon as you show up, How could that young man resist?"
Rongrong smiled proudly, "Stop being so obedient, while that ugly monster is busy with the plague, create more time to meet him by chance, and send the bowl of stuff over first."
"yes."
"..."
Liu Shengsheng was busy in the yard for two consecutive days, delivering batch after batch of medicine to the hospital. She sometimes stayed up all night just to research the antidote.
"Girl, don't bother, maybe this is really a plague. Look, there are more and more people in this courtyard. If it doesn't work, just go back. You haven't been infected yet. If you are infected, it will be too late..."
Aunt Xu stood next to Liu Shengsheng with a worried look on her face.
Liu Shengsheng was smashing the herbs with a small hammer and said while smashing: "I said this is not a plague. The city lord and others believe me, and you can believe me too. Besides, I haven't covered my mouth and nose these past few days. If it is a plague, I I have been infected by you for a long time."
"That's what I say, but there are indeed more and more people in the courtyard..."
"That's because we haven't found the source of the poison yet."
Liu Shengsheng said in a solemn tone: "Can you ask if everyone has eaten anything in common?"
Aunt Xu nodded, "It's probably water, rice, rice. There are many water sources in the city. Some have wells in their own yards, and some have springs from the mountains. You said that everyone may have been poisoned. Someone has already checked the water, and there is no problem with the water source. As for the rice, although everyone buys their rice from the same place, the rice is indeed good, and the rest of our family ate it without any problems..."
"There are also some things we ate together. I probably went to the same place to buy groceries, but other people also ate those groceries. I really can't remember them for a while."
After hearing what she said, Liu Shengsheng stopped what she was doing and said, "Go and bring me some of the water you drank, the food you ate, and the dishes you shared. In addition, if you think about it carefully, what else can you do?" Is there anything that you all have eaten?"
"good."
Aunt Xu nodded, and then blended into the crowd to chat with other patients.
Liu Shengsheng finished processing the herbs and walked into a room next to her.
That was because she specially made people free to study medicines for her. In fact, she could also prepare medicines in front of people, but many medicines existed in her own space, and it was not convenient for people to see them when taking or storing them.
After the prepared medicine was refined into pills using the equipment in the space, she took out the pills and walked out.
"Who among you is willing to come over and try my antidote?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the courtyard looked up at her.
She held a bottle and poured out two pills.
"The efficacy of this first batch of medicine is not very strong. Although there is no guarantee that it can detoxify all the poisons, it can alleviate a lot of symptoms to some extent. If you believe me, you can take these medicines and share them. When the situation improves, , I will prepare some stronger medicine for you."
"Let me do it!"
Aunt Xu came over first, took a pill and swallowed it.
Seeing this, the other soldiers also stepped forward to receive the pills and swallowed them without hesitation.
During this period, someone questioned, "Is this medicine useful? Everyone says it's a plague. How can there be any medicine that can cure the plague?"
But as soon as he spoke out, he was refuted by everyone.
"Eat it whether you like it or not. If you don't eat it, leave it to others."
"If it's a plague, everyone will definitely die. What's the big deal if you take medicine or not?"
"Yes, we are all going to die anyway. Doctor Liu has been with us for several days without fear. We are willing to take the medicine he has researched day and night, even if it is poison!"
"That's right, if this is really a plague, and people are not afraid of death and have stayed here for so many days, and are so brave, is it possible that they will harm us?"
"..."
People kept talking to each other, and soon made the person who raised the question feel ashamed.
After a while, everyone in the yard had taken the medicine.
Liu Shengsheng asked everyone to lie down and rest, then sat next to Aunt Xu and gently felt her pulse, "Have you vomited anything after eating in the past few days?"
"No, since you gave us the first dose of medicine, we have never vomited again, and the red spots on my body have faded a lot. Now I feel like I can run and jump again."
"That means I am on the right track. Now that you have taken the antidote, the red spots on your body will fade away one by one in half a day. However, it will take a few days for the skin scratches you made to recover. These red spots are not painful. It’s not itchy, so you’d better not scratch it, so that you can wait until the red spots dissipate before it can recover to its original condition.”
After listening to Liu Shengsheng's words, the people present were surprised and happy.
"Can you recover in half a day? Can you really recover?"
"Girl, you won't lie to us, right? The security outside is tight now, and no one will let us out. If we recover, can we still go out?"
"..."
Liu Shengsheng stood up calmly, "Don't worry, you can all go out, but before going out, people outside will be more or less suspicious. If they bring doctors from the city to check you, remember to cooperate with them. After observing you for a few days and finding that you are all fine, I will naturally let you go home."
After saying that, Liu Shengsheng walked out.
The moment she walked out, everyone behind her started cheering.
The sound of joy resounded throughout the city lord's palace, and the soldiers guarding outside were shocked by this movement.
"Are the people there sick and stupid? Why are they cheering and celebrating despite everything being fine?"
"Didn't you say that the people inside are half dead? It doesn't look like this movement..."
Just when the people at the door were confused, a figure slowly walked out from inside.
Everyone immediately became more vigilant, and some people quickly covered their mouths and noses with cloths.
"Girl, the Lord of the City has an order that no one in the courtyard is allowed to go out!"
A guard stopped in front of Liu Shengsheng.
Liu Shengsheng said calmly: "That is not a plague at all. The people inside have recovered now. You can go to the city lord to confirm."
The guard looked hesitant, while the other trotted away in a hurry, apparently going to report to the city lord.
Liu Shengsheng did not force his way in, but stood there and waited calmly.
But before the guard came back, Rongrong's figure got closer and closer.
"Girl, it's better not to go out. So many people are infected with the plague now, and you have been inside with those patients for so long. If you carry the virus with you and accidentally spread it, it will be terrible."
