Yan Laosan said in surprise: "General, you're awake!"
"Let go quickly..."
Qi Zihao's strength was so great that Shen Tianshu couldn't struggle at all. His wrists were so painful when he squeezed them that he almost shed tears.
Yan Laosan saw this and said quickly: "General, please let go quickly, this is Madam Tong, you have seen her before!
"Thanks to Mrs. Tong who came all the way to treat your injuries this time. I just treated your injuries yesterday and gave you medicine. You woke up today."
Although Qi Zihao woke up at this time, he was still in a daze and was not awake.
After hearing Yan Laosan's words, he had no reaction, but instead clasped his hands tighter.
Shen Tianshu felt that his wrist was about to be crushed by him. In desperation, he could only pull out the golden needle from the bracelet and stab it into his wrist.
Qi Zihao was unprepared and was stabbed by a needle, and immediately felt that his hand had no strength.
Shen Tianshu took the opportunity to break away and stepped aside to a safe distance before gently rubbing his wrist.
After Qi Zihao was stabbed, he seemed to be more and more convinced that Shen Tianshu was an enemy. He stood up and was about to rush towards her, but luckily he was held down by Yan Laosan.
"He's not conscious yet. Give him another pill. I'll check his pulse when his condition becomes more stable."
"I'm really sorry to trouble Madam Tong." Yan Laosan looked at Shen Tianshu's already somewhat red and swollen wrist and felt very guilty, "Do you need some medicine?"
Shen Tianshu moved around for a while and found that there was nothing serious, so he asked: "Master Yan, does he know what the epidemic situation is outside?"
"Mrs. Tong is about to be called like this. Zhesha Xiao is too young. You can do the same as the prince, call Xiao Yan San or Yan Laosan."
"Then let's do it Yan San!" Shen Tianshu followed the good example and now is not the time to worry about these things.
"I see that the situation is not optimistic. Many people have started to have fever and diarrhea, and the west side of the city is already in a mess.
"I arranged for people to wash the ground and try to keep it clean, but it was just a drop in the bucket and it had no effect."
"Can you send someone to take me there to take a look?" Shen Tianshu asked.
"This..." Yan Laosan immediately hesitated, "otherwise you should stay in the government office. I will arrange for two people to come and listen to your orders. If you want to know anything, just ask them."
Shen Tianshu shook his head and said: "I have to see the epidemic patients myself to know how to give them medicine."
But Yan Laosan was afraid that if something happened to her, and Qi Zihao's illness aside, no one would take care of it, Li Zian would go crazy.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
"Then you have to take complete measures." Yan Laosan said and asked someone to bring over a set of clothes that Li Zian had made at short notice, so that Shen Tianshu could put them on.
The safe measure he mentioned was to wrap the person tightly from head to toe. Except for the fingers that were exposed for pulse diagnosis, no trace of skin was exposed elsewhere.
"This won't work. It will cause panic in the city." Shen Tianshu shook his head, "I'll take a look at the situation from a distance first. There's no need to be so nervous."
Although she has never experienced an epidemic in this life, she has helped deal with many epidemic situations in her previous life, so she has some experience in this.
Only those who have left the county government office will truly feel that the interior of the government office is a pure land.
At this time, the city was filled with groans of pain, cries of fear, and all kinds of sounds.
The dead were constantly being carried out by soldiers wearing cloth scarves and gathered together for cremation.
The sky-high firelight and the unpleasant smell made the tense atmosphere in the city even worse.
Shen Tianshu walked along the safe route surrounded by soldiers. Even though it was not the first time he saw such a scene, he felt calm.
Yan Laosan only asked her to take her for a walk around the north and south of the city, but the situation was already a bit uncontrollable.
The mood of the soldiers was relatively stable, but the common people were complaining.
"Let us out, I don't want to wait here to die!"
"We kindly took in so many officers and soldiers to live and eat in the city, but in the end our family was ruined."
"That's right, I haven't had enough to eat for several days! Let us out, I want to go home!"
"Get out of the county!"
"Yes, get out of our county!"
The angry voices grew louder and louder, and many people who had not complained at first were incited by them, making the situation difficult to control for a while.
At this moment, someone suddenly started to take the lead and bump into the soldiers who were segregating the crowd.
The soldiers immediately fell into passivity. Once they pointed their weapons at the civilians, the excited civilians would pat their chests and press their chests upwards, shouting: "Stab, stab here!"
"It's best to kill us all and set the whole thing on fire..."
"You'll be satisfied if we're all dead, right?"
The conflict escalated unexpectedly. A child was squeezed from behind and could not stand steadily. His forehead accidentally hit the knife edge.
The moment the blood spurted out, the whole north of the city erupted in commotion.
"Killing people! Officers and soldiers killing people!"
Everyone got up and wanted to rush out.
Shen Tianshu felt bad. If he continued like this, wouldn't it lead to violence?
Ignoring the obstruction of people around her, she walked up quickly, pressed her handkerchief on the child's wound, and said loudly: "This is just an accident. Please be patient and listen to what I have to say, okay?"
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he comforted the child softly, applied medicine to the wound on his forehead, then wrapped it with a handkerchief and tied a knot.
Although it looked a little funny, the child's dirty little face made the white silk handkerchief more conspicuous. Coupled with Shen Tianshu's clean clothes and dusty temperament, everyone stopped hesitantly and also No more yelling.
Shen Tianshu wanted this opportunity. She climbed onto the horse that was used to block the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, the court has not given up on you, and will never give up on you.
"You see, I am the doctor sent by Prince Rui's palace. The prince and his people are waiting outside the city, ready to supply the city at any time.
“The food that everyone ate today and the clean water that we drank were all transported overnight from other counties by His Majesty’s orders.
“When I came out, I came to see everyone as soon as possible.
"Everyone blames the officers and soldiers for bringing the epidemic, and I can understand your feelings.
“But they went out to fight not for their own pleasure, but to defend their homeland.
"If they hadn't repelled the Xirong people, our Fuping County would probably have been like the northwest frontier, suffering from border raids every year.
“Not only can’t I keep my year’s harvest, but I, my wife and my children have to be made slaves.”
Shen Tianshu's words were easy to understand and made most people calm down.
Although the common people are uneducated and illiterate, they are not stupid people who don't understand any truth.
Seeing that the atmosphere that had finally been stirred up was resolved by Shen Tianshu with a few words, the figure who had been hiding in the crowd and constantly stirring up trouble was ready to leave quietly and look for opportunities next time.
However, his every move was already being watched, and he was quickly taken away with his mouth covered calmly.
