Chapter 439 The situation is much better than the rumors
Fortunately, the epidemic is now under control. Although everyone is having a fever, they are moving in a good direction after the fever subsides. However, the fever reduction process is extremely slow. Even if Zhao Huanyu gives them antipyretics, they still need to add more.
Only with the combination of other medicinal materials can the symptoms slowly subside, and even if they subside, the body will not get better immediately, and there will still be some weakness.
At the same time, people who had been in contact with these refugees before were gradually showing symptoms of infection. Even though Zhao Huanyu had given them medicine, they were still unable to avoid the infection.
Fortunately, he was discovered quickly and sought medical treatment in time, so it did not get worse. Zhao Huanyu had it under control before the ulcers started on his body.
Just because of the large-scale use of medicine, the amount of medicinal materials they have now is not very large. If this continues, they will last for seven or eight days at most and then they will be gone. At this time, it depends on whether Duan Kuo can bring the medicinal materials back.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Duan Kuo rushed back day and night and told them the bad news that the medicinal materials had been burned.
"This is definitely not just Zhengzhou, other cities must have suffered as well!"
Zhao Huanyu's first reaction was this. She always felt that this was aimed at her and Ji Mingxuan.
Until now, Ji Mingxuan has not told her that this incident was caused by the third prince, so she did not think about the third prince. She knew that someone was targeting them, but she was not sure who it was.
"I'll send someone to bring medicinal materials from the capital right now."
Ji Mingxuan made a quick decision and started writing a letter.
Zhao Huanyu stopped him in a hurry and said: "It's too far from the capital to get here, and since someone is deliberately making things difficult for us, they won't let that batch of medicinal materials come to us safely. They might cause damage on the way and lose a lot of money."
Approval of medicinal materials means more gain than loss."
"But if not, we won't have enough medicinal materials."
Duan Kuo answered first, his face clearly full of anxiety.
"Don't worry yet, I still have a way."
Zhao Huanyu was extremely calm and had already made up his mind.
Everyone looked at her, Zhao Huanyu said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that my father and uncle are planting medicinal materials? What a coincidence, the medicinal materials planted include several important medicinal materials that we use. I didn't mention it before,
I thought it had not been long since the seeds were planted and the potency of the medicine was not very strong, so it was best not to use it unless it was absolutely necessary, but now there is really no way, so I can only use the batch in the field first."
"Really? What a coincidence!"
Duan Kuo's eyes lit up instantly. He knew that Zhao Dafu and Zhao Dagui were getting medicinal materials, but he didn't know what the progress was. After all, no one had paid much attention to this matter for a long time.
"Yes, that's why it is said that there is no perfect way."
Zhao Huanyu smiled, but her fists in her sleeves were clenched tightly.
In fact, there is no such coincidence in the world. The medicinal materials grown at home are not important medicinal materials used in this epidemic, but she has to say so, because only in this way, with such a procedure, she can secretly take them out from the space.
Corresponding medicinal materials are used to replace the pillars.
"Okay, then I will go back to the village now and ask Uncle Dafu and the others to dig out all the medicinal materials from the fields!"
Duan Kuo was about to set off excitedly, but he was pulled by Ji Mingxuan next to him and said: "You have worked hard these days. Go wash up and have a good sleep. I will send someone there."
"No, I can still do it..."
As he spoke, he felt a little dizzy and almost couldn't stand. Ji Mingxuan held his arm, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground by now.
In order to rush back, he really hadn't slept for several days. Now, not only him, but also the people he brought were like this. They could all fall asleep standing up.
Their physical strength has reached its limit, and people will die if they continue like this.
"Yes, you should take the people to rest quickly, and we will arrange for people to deal with it."
Zhao Huanyu knew that he must be exhausted these days, so she came over to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Duan Kuo originally wanted to hold on, but found that he couldn't muster any strength and his head was terribly dizzy, so he finally agreed.
Ji Mingxuan planned to send Fu Yuan to make arrangements, but Zhao Huanyu quickly pulled Ji Mingxuan aside to whisper.
"After a while, you tell them not to say anything to my family when they arrive at my house. Let them put all the medicinal materials in sacks and don't let anyone see them. When they get here, they will be sent directly to the tent where I live.
Go in, I have to check them one by one before they can be used as medicine."
Zhao Huanyu's voice was very low when she spoke, for fear of being heard by others, so she only dared to tell Ji Mingxuan such things.
Although Ji Mingxuan didn't know why she said that, since it was arranged like this, he had to do it according to her wishes, so he said: "Don't worry."
"Also, Fuyuan and the others are rushing to the village now. They will arrive before dark, so they don't have to worry. They will go to the fields tomorrow to collect medicinal materials and come back within two or three days. How many more days can our medicinal materials last?
of."
"good."
Zhao Huanyu was worried that they were too sincere, so she wanted to get the matter done overnight and then rush back to resume her duties.
No need, really no need.
The current situation is much better than what is reported outside, and she is confident that it can be completely cured. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people who are in poor health, everyone else can live a good life.
For example, the man Duan Kuo sent before had a serious fever before, but now that the fever has subsided, he is as fine as a normal person.
My cough is no longer serious, and the ulcerated wounds on my body have begun to heal slowly. When I have nothing to do, I even help take care of other patients. I am very diligent and enthusiastic.
In the past few days, Zhao Huanyu also heard about his wife and children. She felt that it was rare for him to be so kind to other people after going through all these hardships, and she admired him very much.
In the evening, Zhao Huanyu took a rare bath, lay on the bed, and asked Ji Mingxuan to press her sore shoulders. While stretching her tired body, she guessed who was secretly making things difficult for them.
"It's Zheng Lie. There was an epidemic where he was before. He secretly collected those people's clothes and sent them to Sichuan Province, causing the refugees in Sichuan Province to be infected with the epidemic."
After thinking about it, Ji Mingxuan finally told Zhao Huanyu the truth.
Originally he was worried that she would be furious when she found out, but now that he saw the speculations she racked her brains about every day, he couldn't bear it, so he simply told her to forget it.
"It turned out to be him? Then there was an epidemic where he was standing, so why didn't it spread? Could it be that some other miracle doctor controlled the disease?"
Zhao Huanyu turned to look at him, with some excitement on her face. She thought that a magical doctor had cured the epidemic there, and even thought that if there was a chance, she must get to know him and exchange medical skills.
