The man was also a little scared at this time. His lips were trembling uncontrollably when he spoke. Of course, he was more worried that he and his son would also be infected.
"mother!"
The son anxiously wanted to rush in to see the situation, but he caught him.
"You can't go in, in case I infect you..."
"But no one has gotten sick in the city for so many days. Even the prince has come to the city. How could my mother be infected with the epidemic..."
As the son spoke, he suddenly realized something. He took a few steps back with a look of horror on his face, looking at the father in front of him who was obviously very familiar but seemed extremely strange.
"Dad, you, you just said that it would be great if mother contracted the epidemic and died. I went out to look for my uncle for a while, how could she really be infected with the epidemic by such a coincidence..."
Upon hearing this, the child's uncle also became vigilant, protected the child behind him, glared at his brother-in-law and said: "Huang Laosan, you can't really be so conscience-stricken, right? You were so poor back then, my sister I will marry you even if I don't mind, give you children, and take care of the housework.
"Without the help of our family, you kid wouldn't even be able to build a house. My sister has only been ill for a few years, and your mother is already having trouble!"
Huang Laosan immediately yelled: "I just said that, how can I make people suddenly infected with the epidemic? Don't talk nonsense!"
The three people were arguing, but they didn't dare to go in to see what was going on.
The epidemic in the city has just subsided. If the woman is really an epidemic, there may be another bloody storm.
On the other hand, when the neighbors heard their quarrel, they were so frightened that they sent all the family members to relatives' houses, and then rushed to the county government to report it to the officials.
Magistrate Feng followed Li Zian out to distribute money and food. Shen Tianshu became anxious when he heard about this and quickly sent people to Li Zian to tell him not to go there.
"I suddenly have something urgent to deal with here. Please wait for me for a while. I will be back as soon as possible."
She is a free clinic, and everyone understands her very well.
"Mrs. Tong, if anything happens, please take care of you first. We are not in a hurry."
Some even said, "If you need our help if you need anything, just talk."
After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, he left everyone waiting for treatment and rushed back to the house to find Qi Zihao. After telling him what happened, he said: "First send someone to quietly surround that area. I will go over to check the situation and confirm." Let’s decide whether it’s an epidemic or not.”
Qi Zihao was frightened when he heard that someone might be infected with the epidemic again, but he did not agree with Shen Tianshu to go there.
"I can just take people there, but you can't go."
"If I don't go, who can be sure whether she is infected with the epidemic?"
"If Li Zian agrees to go in, then I won't stop you!" Qi Zihao said.
Shen Tianshu almost laughed out of anger at him, shook off his hand and said, "I don't need his permission to do anything."
After saying that, she went back to her room, put on a full outfit, asked someone to drive the carriage directly into the government office, got directly into the car, and tried not to disturb anyone before arriving at the place where the incident occurred.
When she arrived at the place, Qi Zihao had already led people to control the man, and everyone around him was also driven far away to prevent him from getting close.
Although they didn't know what happened, when they saw Shen Tianshu getting out of the car wearing the tightly wrapped clothes, the people around him were so frightened that they fled privately, not even daring to watch the excitement.
By the time Li Zian received the news and rushed over, Shen Tianshu had already entered the house.
There was indeed a large puddle of vomit on the floor in the house, which gave off a foul smell.
But after seeing the vomit, Shen Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
In this epidemic, the symptoms of patients are basically fever and diarrhea.
Even if some patients have vomiting, it is not directly caused by the epidemic, but indirectly caused by physical discomfort.
She stepped forward and checked the woman on the bed again. She didn't have a fever, and there was nothing wrong with checking her pulse.
Shen Tianshu asked her: "Why did you suddenly vomit just now? Is it because you have an upset stomach?"
The woman weakly said a few words to her, and Shen Tianshu felt relieved and quickly came out of the room.
After she came out, she said, "It's okay. It's just a false alarm. It's not an epidemic, it's just gastrointestinal discomfort."
"Impossible!" Huang Laosan became anxious upon hearing this, "She obviously..."
"Obviously what?" Shen Tianshu raised his head and stared at him, "Obviously he came into contact with unclean clothes, so why didn't he contract the epidemic?"
"I, no, she..." Huang Laosan was incoherent and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"All the clothes worn by the patients were collected and burned by General Qi's soldiers, without passing through the hands of any common people.
"The clothes you stole back from outside were just the clothes you arranged to burn just in case.
"You've been hiding the clothes for so many days. It's already stinky on such a hot day. You'd have to throw up if you smelled it!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Laosan. His face turned green and red, and he was still making a final resistance and said: "I, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Your wife is fine. She has told me everything you just did. The clothes in the pit have not been burned yet. There are both witnesses and material evidence. What else can you deny?
"Although the epidemic is terrible, what is even more terrible is your dirty heart!"
"I..." Huang Laosan finally lowered his head weakly.
The angry brother-in-law rushed up to him and punched and kicked him.
Huang Laosan's son glanced at his biological father indifferently, ignored him, carefully walked up to Shen Tianshu and asked: "Ms. Tong, how is my mother's illness? Can it be cured?
"I was originally going to take her to the government office to see you for medical treatment in the afternoon, but I didn't expect..."
"Good boy, don't worry. I've already seen your mother. I'll go back and write a prescription later, and I'll ask someone to bring it to you.
"Your mother's problem is in her lungs. It's difficult to get rid of it. But if you insist on taking medicine, it will definitely get better. At least you don't have to lie down all the time and can't get up."
"Thank you." The boy said, and finally couldn't help crying.
Now that my father is about to be arrested, even if Mrs. Tong prescribes medicine, he has no money to buy medicine for his mother.
The uncle came over and put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Why are you crying? It would be better if you don't have such a bad guy like your father. Isn't there still an uncle?"
Li Zian turned to Magistrate Feng and said, "I didn't expect that there would be people who were greedy for the subsidy money and would do such a crazy thing to attack their relatives.
"Fortunately, the clothes he stole were not worn by patients, otherwise, if the epidemic spreads again..."
The magistrate of Feng County was also very frightened and said repeatedly: "Thanks to Mrs. Tong, she was the one who insisted that all handling of patients should be taken over by General Qi's men and no ordinary people were allowed to participate.
"At first, everyone just thought that Mrs. Tong cared about the people, but they didn't expect that there was such a profound meaning in it."
