(twenty three)
The heroic girl who came out of the consultation ward now had no look on her face, and was only pale, looking weaker than any delicate little flower. Even if some people at that time had not experienced the epidemic, it is not difficult to feel the horror from Miss E Wu's abnormal reaction: a living life may be "gone" unknowingly in the next moment. .
The originally lifeless pharmacy suddenly became silent due to the heavy feeling of life. People listened quietly to the coughing and gagging sounds coming from the ward. It was only after it completely stopped that Zhang Yishi hurriedly opened the door and walked out.
Just when everyone present had the worst fantasy, Zhang Yi was uncharacteristically excited and excited to such an exaggerated degree that he could not even speak clearly. As soon as he went out, he pulled the medicine boy Xiaohu, and his voice trembled with excitement: "That medicine... that prescription works! God has favored me once!"
"Master?" Xiaohu said in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"Xiaohu, you immediately ask the brothers to burn the bedding in the room! Then go find a big medicine pot. I will fry the medicine according to the recipe, and distribute the medicine soup to the seriously ill patients tomorrow. Suffering! As for those with mild symptoms, they must not take heavy medicines easily, and they need to let me adjust the dosage of the medicine myself..."
"Master!" Xiaohu, the medicine boy, tried to stop him and said, "Does your implication mean that you want to test the medicine yourself?"
"You can't control so much now! You will do whatever you are asked to do. Who taught you to interfere with so many things?" Zhang Yi said angrily without any scruples in the face of many outsiders.
"However, the 'Rhubarb' and 'Shegan' in the prescription are almost gone! Moreover, the weight of the medicine used in this prescription is unprecedented. The existing medicinal materials are simply not enough to boil the medicinal soup in a large medical pot!"
"Then let's cook it in a small casserole first, and we'll cook it as much as we can!" After Zhang finished speaking, he angrily brushed his sleeves and turned away.
After hearing the instructions, Xiaohu immediately got up and called on a few people to move the filthy bedding out of the medicine shop and burn it. He and the remaining medicine boy were in front of the medicine cabinet to prepare the medicine.
The dead silence just now disappeared after this moment. It was as if the fire of hope had been rekindled, burning people's frozen bodies and driving them to action. This belief is so strong that it seems that as long as it is not exhausted, it will not hesitate even if it is exhausted.
In front of the medicine cabinet, there are childish voices calling out the names of medicinal materials. One can't help but imagine that those young boys may be like now, wandering between life and death. Looking at their busy figures, if they don't take the lead at this time, it will only make people feel ashamed and embarrassed.
For the group of people who could have been passing by in a hurry, since they decided to stay here, they had no intention of sitting idly by and watching anything. Therefore, no one wants to just be a spectator without helping, even if it is just the simplest trivial matters such as sorting medicinal materials and delivering prescriptions. Except for E Feiying, who ran to find her cousin, and Zhao Kuo, who was still waiting anxiously for the town official's appointment in front of the door, the other four people were helping.
Flames and black smoke were floating on the open ground outside the pharmacy. After an unknown period of time, the people you had been waiting for for so long were finally welcomed behind the fog.
I saw a middle-aged man with a moustache, a sloppy belly, and wearing black silk clothes. He covered his nose and coughed, and walked slowly with two or three retinues. From time to time, he glanced at the burning bedding man with interest. fire. Zhao Kuo in front of the door saw that the guy was so slow and couldn't help shouting at them: "Master Li, can you take two steps faster?"
"Okay! Okay! I'm urging you!" The parents lifted up their skirts and trousers a little clumsily, crossed the threshold in front of the door, and entered the house. Seeing the group of people hurriedly preparing medicinal materials, he asked in surprise: "Are you still making medicine? Treat the plague. It has been treated for several months and it has not been cured. Anyway, I won't be able to do it in two or three days, so why don't you hurry up first? Pack your bags!"
After finishing speaking, Tokito just glanced at this guy angrily, and then went back to what he was doing. Perhaps Mr. Li had good intentions, but his remarks were only met with silence.
"Mr. Li, Doctor Zhang has just found a cure for the plague. As long as we give him a few more days, the plague will be eradicated!" Zhao Kuo stepped forward and bowed his hands in respect.
"Grace?" The parents said angrily: "I'll give you grace, who will give me grace? You know, if the plague is not cured, it will not only be Xiahe Town that is in chaos? It will be chaos in the hearts of everyone in the world! If that guy Zhang Yi takes it again If there is no solution, we can only leave it to others to solve it. As for how to solve it, I am not sure..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a frightening voice suddenly came out from the back hall, "Guan Gu! We are waiting for heaven and earth. Is this what we are waiting for?"
After lifting the curtain leading from the front hall to the back hall, the owner of the voice was like a sharp knife, trying to pass through the layers of guards around Mr. Li and knock him down directly.
The few followers barely reacted in time and allowed the man to get closer to the official. Fortunately, the other party was not a monster, but a woman, so they were able to work together to subdue it.
"This...where did this ghost girl come from!" The parents said in horror.
A moment later, another figure jumped out from behind the door curtain, it was the doctor Zhang Yi. He saw E Feiying being pinned to the ground by those big men, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Master Li, what is going on?"
"Cousin, why are you so polite to this dog official!" E Feiying struggled against the restraints of others and said.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuo on the side lamented that Miss E Wu had messed up the good thing again, and at the same time persuaded several people to bring the topic back to the matter of treating the plague: "Master Li, this is the cousin of Doctor Zhang! I was just so eager to cure the plague that I suddenly became so impulsive. Normally she is very docile and well-behaved! Sir, you have a lot, please let her go?"
After hearing this, the parents waved their hands and asked the servants to let go of E Feiying, and then said: "What else do you want to do now? There are only two days left. Unless gods come to save us, there will be so many patients." How to be saved?”
"In response to my lord, I just hope that I can borrow your power to block Taiping Temple and prevent those Taiping Taoists from continuing to confuse the people in the town!" Zhang Yi said, not forgetting to hold Miss E Wu's arm to prevent her from doing it again. Bad thing, "Taipingdao took advantage of the coming plague to show off its morality and deceived countless people! How many people died of illness because they refused to see a doctor and take medicine? The medical methods left by our ancestors are not as good as other people's one-sided words?" We must stop this stupid preaching now so that the people infected with the plague can be cured!"
"The other party is relying on the protection of Taipingdao from the national preceptor Sima Tu. I am just a small town official. Why should I compete with them..." The parent official replied: "You should mention other things. This is a serious matter for me. There’s nothing I can do to help.”
"Mr. Li, why don't we make a deal?" Zhao Kuo said suddenly: "If the plague is successfully controlled, this will definitely add glory to your political achievements; if it fails, you don't have to worry. Before I leave, I told you that Beizhen is in urgent need of various talents now. If you are interested..."
"Um..." The parent officer hesitated, looked at the noble young master, and then at E Feiying, who had just startled him, and replied: "Young gentlemen from aristocratic families are also very generous... plus I have never looked down upon that group of people, but as for the trouble caused by Tai Sui... tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"As long as the sermons in Taiping Temple are prohibited during the plague period." Zhang Yi replied: "If Mr. Li is really interested in doing things for Xiahe Town, can you allocate more manpower to me? The pharmacy has insufficient medicinal materials and urgently needs to go to the mountain to collect them. Dig and fill…”
"Alas..." As he spoke, Master Li suddenly got wet in his eyes and said, "Xiahe Town is also my home. If I want to live for myself, why don't I find a place to escape from the world as soon as possible?"
While talking and laughing, another cup of medicine was prepared. Zhang Yi responded to the call of the medicine boy, bowed and left, preparing to test the medicine himself. Somehow, the people in the pharmacy stopped chatting immediately, and many of their emotions were kept silent. Although not everyone can feel it, everyone knows one thing, and that is: tonight, it is destined to be sleepless.
