Xiang Zhihan did what he said. After asking about the symptoms, he took out all the corresponding medicines from the medicine hall and loaded them on the broken car behind them.
After Xiang Zhihan had done everything, he remembered Jiang Buwan.
He always told himself that his relationship with Jiang Buwan was more important than anything else, but whenever someone came to see him at the medical clinic, his first choice was always to treat others.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll go talk to my wife."
"Okay." Several people couldn't bear to think of Xiang Zhihan's beautiful lady.
"Wan Wan, Wan Wan." As soon as Xiang Zhihan passed through the front hall and walked to the courtyard, he saw Jiang Buwan coming out carrying a small bag.
Xiang Zhihan looked at the baggage behind Jiang Buwan and asked, "Wanwan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Buwan shook the baggage in his hand and said, "Can't you see? Of course I'm going with you."
"Come with me?!" Xiang Zhihan raised his voice, "Are you crazy? Do you know what the plague represents? People will die."
"Since people will die, why do you still want to go?" Jiang Buwan asked.
Xiang Zhihan was silent. Could he say that because he was a monk, he would not be infected by the plague?
"I am a doctor, and it is my bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded. How can I be afraid of patients?"
Jiang Buwan took a step forward and took Xiang Zhihan's arm, and said with a smile, "I am the doctor's wife, so of course I will accompany you."
Her bright and fearless smile fell into his eyes, and his always cold and arrogant heart moved slightly.
"Okay." Xiang Zhihan's lips curved into a helpless smile, "I always can't do anything to you."
His smile this time was obviously much more sincere than before.
The people waiting at the door saw Xiang Zhihan still not coming out, their faces full of anxiety. They were afraid that Doctor Xiang, who had finally agreed, would regret it because of his wife.
"Okay, let's go."
Everyone stared blankly at Jiang Buwan beside Dr. Xiang and asked, "Doctor Xiang, what is this?"
"This is my wife." Xiang Zhihan said, "She is going with us."
Everyone looked at each other in silence for a long time, and finally the man in the lead broke the silence, "Doctor Xiang, it's not that we don't want to, but Lin'an City is really too dangerous."
He just had to tell Xiang Zhihan directly that his wife might be infected with the plague and die.
Jiang Buwan said softly, "Don't dislike me, I won't cause you any trouble."
Everyone looked at Jiang Buwan and said, "Madam Xiang, our trip is very dangerous. The disease is very serious and can kill people. Madam, it's better not to go."
"That's right, Mrs. Xiang, we are not traveling around the mountains and rivers. We may be in danger of losing our lives at any time."
"I know." Jiang Buwan said calmly, "I'm not afraid."
She looked at Xiang Zhihan beside her, her eyes thoughtful and affectionate, "Where is my husband, there am I."
When everyone saw this, they looked back at Xiang Zhihan again. "Your wife is fooling around. You are a doctor, so you won't follow her."
"Let's go." Everyone saw that Xiang Zhihan ignored Jiang Buwan's behavior without any expression, and had no choice but to stop.
A few people were preparing to set off when another long team came from the other direction. Each of them had Zhang embroidered on their chest.
Xiang Zhihan's eyes narrowed slightly. Is this Shide still unwilling to give up?
The head butler saw Xiang Zhihan from a distance, remembered his master's instructions, and instantly raised a bright and enthusiastic smile, "Oh, doctor Xiang, doctor Xiang, please stay."
"What's going on?" Xiang Zhihan asked.
The butler bent down and treated Xiang Zhihan with respect, "My master wants to apologize for what happened earlier. Please forgive him for his rashness."
As he spoke, he walked to a bullock cart behind him, opened the curtain, and showed Xiang Zhihan the treasures inside, "Doctor Xiang, these are my master's collection. In order to express his apology, the master put these things away." Give it to you, Doctor Xiang."
Xiang Zhihan raised his eyebrows slightly. He was just thinking about where to buy the remaining medicinal materials, when someone sent him money.
"You want me to forgive him?" Xiang Zhihan said, "Of course you can, exchange all these things for silver, I want to use them now."
The butler's flattering smile froze. For such a precious treasure, Xiang Zhihan said he wanted to exchange it for silver without even looking at it?
I don’t know whether to praise him for being too pragmatic, or saying that he is too visionless, as if he has fallen into the eyes of money.
He cursed in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He always remembered the master's instructions and could not offend Doctor Xiang.
He used his skill of flattering the master and said to Xiang Zhihan, "Okay, okay."
He glanced at the refugees standing with Doctor Xiang and understood clearly, "Do you want to buy medicinal materials, Doctor Xiang? Just tell Doctor Xiang what you want to buy, and I promise to help you buy it properly."
The Zhang family is one of the largest households in Qingshui Town. As the housekeeper of the Zhang family, his information is naturally much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. He knows what is happening in Lin'an County. When he thinks of Doctor Xiang's identity, he can guess it in an instant. Now it's time to figure out what they are going to do.
Seeing this, Xiang Zhihan wrote out a medicine list without ceremony and handed it to him, "Get it all ready and send it to Lin'an as soon as possible."
He knew that the housekeeper had evil intentions and that if he asked him to buy medicine, he would enrich himself if he failed, but he also knew that Zhang Shide must still remember what happened that night, and he should be extremely afraid of him now.
Therefore, he was particularly relieved when he gave Zhang Shide the job of housekeeping. Even if he really did something strange, Zhang Shide would keep an eye on him for him.
"That's great," said the butler, "I promise to deliver it on time."
Xiang Zhihan took Jiang Buwan in their dilapidated car and set off towards Lin'an County.
The housekeeper looked at the backs of the two people disappearing into the dusk, feeling a little dazed.
Although he was not a good person, seeing such a doctor who sacrificed his life for righteousness, he still felt some admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The situation in Lin'an County was far more serious than Xiang Zhihan and Jiang Buwan imagined. Even before they entered the city, they could already feel the decay emanating from the city from the inside out.
The city gate was closed tightly, and there were all kinds of scattered objects scattered on the road leading in and out of the county, like things left behind by people moving in a hurry.
There is not even a single guard at the gate of such a huge county town.
A few people got out of the carriage with ease and opened the city gate for Jiang Buwan and others.
“Almost all the people who could run in the county have run away,” the leader said. “Now the only people left in the county are those who cannot run.”
A plague is enough to take away the lives of a city. If Xiang Zhihan hadn't come today, Lin'an City would have completely turned into a ghost town in the near future.
The vermilion gate of Lin'an City slowly opened, and a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a stench that made everyone in Xun almost vomit out their overnight meal.
There was no one on the street, and the shops facing the street had their doors tightly locked. None of them opened their doors. It was quiet all around, and no one spoke.
