Zhang Qiuying hurriedly put down the spoon and bowl and went to the main room. When she heard the word "rabbit" that Miao Miao said intermittently, her eyes turned red with excitement.
"Miaomiao, you can really speak."
Miaomiao seemed to be frightened by the big guy's reaction and huddled in Zhang Qiuying's arms, not daring to come out.
At this moment, Zhang Zheng spoke.
"I checked this child yesterday. It's not that she can't speak. It's just that she doesn't know how to express herself because adults rarely communicate with her. With more guidance, she can speak normally."
After hearing what Zhang Zheng said, Zhang Qiuying happily hugged Miaomiao and cried.
Seeing this, Yun Cuihe looked at everyone.
"Let's all go eat. Breakfast is ready."
After the family had breakfast, Lu Dagui hurriedly took the mule out of the pigsty, put the mule on and drove everyone to the town.
When Chu Yue arrived at the medical clinic, there was already a long queue outside.
Looking at the coughing and panting crowd, Zhang Zheng looked at Chu Yue.
"Girl, at times like this, prevention is better than cure."
Chu Yue's heart froze.
"What does Master mean?"
"Manpower is limited, and you can only treat one person. But now the disaster-stricken population is huge. If you can only treat a few or even dozens of people in front of you, the effect will be extremely weak. There are thousands more people you can't see." Hundreds of patients are left without treatment."
Chu Yue nodded, "Then what should we do?"
"Since they have the same disease, we counted the nearby villages that were severely affected. Each village set up two pots, one of which was for the sick to drink, and the other for those who were not yet sick to prevent the disease from getting serious. If the medicine doesn't work, then you can diagnose and treat it, and the efficiency will be greatly improved. But for this kind of thing, you have to rely on the power of that kid Qian Yu." Zhang Zheng said, looking at Lu Xinghe on the other side , "Xinghe boy, what do you think?"
Lu Xinghe nodded, "Okay."
Just doing this will make the little girl very tired from running around.
Seeing both of them saying this, Chu Yue nodded immediately, "Then just follow what the master said, sir. You go to Qian Yu to discuss this matter first, and we will treat the patients here in the shop first."
"Okay." After Lu Xinghe said that, he left.
As Zhang Zheng said, for such a large-scale epidemic, prevention is more important than treatment.
Therefore, under Qianyu's arrangement, not only Nanping Town, but also several nearby villages began to spray pesticides at scheduled times every day.
Qian Yu bought all the medicinal materials in the medical clinic. The medicinal materials that were originally paid for more than 200 taels of silver were sold at the normal price, making a full profit of 300 taels of silver. Chu Yue received a total of 500 taels of silver. Then he and Dr. Zhu rode in a mule cart and visited various villages to diagnose those who were seriously ill.
This method is indeed very efficient, but in just a few days, the plague in the nearby villages was brought under control, which of course also exhausted Chu Yue and Dr. Zhu.
Especially Dr. Zhu, who had been struggling with Chu Yue for a long time, and half of his life was lost. On the third day, he couldn't hold on and fell down.
There was no other way, Chu Yue asked him to have a good rest, and then asked Lu Yufang to help him, and continued to visit nearby villages in a mule cart. Almost every day, he went out after breakfast, and did not go home until dark, so it was inconvenient to eat. , so he took the dry food with him and ate it when he was hungry.
The villagers were grateful to Chu Yue and said they would go to the town to thank her in person when she recovered.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, just when the medicinal materials in the medical clinic were about to run out, the medicinal materials allocated by the court arrived, solving the urgent need of Nanping Town.
At this point, the plague in Nanping Town was completely under control.
The situation in Nanping Town just turned around, and Chu Yue fell ill from exhaustion. She lay in bed with a high fever for two days, and spent the year directly in the high fever. During this period, she did not forget to ask Lu Dagui to take the 500 medicines prescribed by Shen Zhixue. The package will be delivered.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Heng came home in a carriage.
"Brother Lu, how are you preparing? I greeted Mr. Guan over there in the county town last year, and I'm just waiting for us to pass by."
Lu Xinghe had greeted Chu Yue from the beginning. It was time for him to leave after the Chinese New Year. Xu Heng wanted to introduce the wife of the county to him. Now that it was time to say goodbye, Chu Yue became even more reluctant to leave.
Looking at the red eyes of the little girl in front of him, he reached out and touched her head.
"Okay, it's not like I won't come back."
Chu Yue sniffed, "We agreed that you would come back to see us after the hospital exam."
Lu Xinghe hummed, "The college exam is in March. Soon, I will be back in more than two months."
Chu Yue thought for a while, then took out some more broken silver from her purse and handed it to Lu Xinghe, "You can also take these broken pieces of silver for your convenience when you go out."
Lu Xinghe pointed to his book box, "I have..."
Chu Yue couldn't help but give the money to Lu Xinghe, and said carefully, "That's whole, this is zero, it's different. We don't lack anything at home, you have to buy everything outside, don't be too nervous." Save money. If you run out of money, ask someone to bring a message. When the time comes, Brother Dagui will go to the county to buy the medicinal materials, and I will ask him to deliver them to you."
Lu Xinghe smiled, bent down, picked up the book box on the ground, and carried it on his back.
"Okay, it's time for me to go."
Yun Cuihe also reminded with reluctance, "You should be careful when you are alone outside, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best in everything."
"I know, mother."
Lu Xinghe said as he got on the carriage, not daring to look back at the little girl again. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it and would be unable to leave after taking one more look.
"Let's go."
The driver raised the reins, and the carriage ran wildly down the mountain.
Chu Yue sniffed, watched the carriage disappear from sight, and then turned back to the courtyard.
After Lu Xinghe left, she felt a little empty and had no interest in doing anything. However, this state did not last long. The next day, she and Lu Yufang went to the medical clinic in the town.
"Brother, happy New Year."
Chu Yue smiled and handed the red wedding bag she had prepared long ago into his hands. As for Lu Yufang and Lu Dagui, they had already given it to them during the Chinese New Year.
Doctor Zhu took the money bag, touched the broken silver inside, and replied with a smile, "Happy New Year."
Chu Yue went to the backyard again and found Zhang Qiuying and Miao Miao.
"Sister Qiuying, happy New Year, this is for you and Miaomiao."
Zhang Qiuying held the red bag in her hand and said, "What's so embarrassing about this? You've been good enough to us two, so why bother asking you to waste money?"
Chu Yue smiled and waved her hand, "It's not how much money it is, just take it with Sister Qiuying. I got sick before the Chinese New Year last year, and I haven't been to town during this time. It's all thanks to you to keep the medical clinic in order. Today Now that I'm here, can I give you the New Year's package?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qiuying held the money bag in her hands and looked at Chu Yue with gratitude.
"Thank you, Doctor Chu."
