However, everyone was not persuaded like Feng Qing before. Instead, they knelt down one after another and prayed to the county magistrate to allow them to continue the sacrifice and let them live.
After all, these people are illiterate and cannot read a word. It is basically impossible for them to change their minds just by listening to a few words.
"Magistrate Feng, please take pity on us common people. My aunt was taken away by the plague a few days ago, and her body has not had time to be buried. Only after a funeral ceremony can my aunt's spirit in heaven rest in peace!"
"That's right, my son has shown symptoms of the plague a few days ago and is lying at home taking medicine. I don't want my son to go away at a young age! Please do me a favor and save my son's life!"
Everyone surrounded Feng Qing and begged, and some old people even shed tears.
Feng Qing was surrounded in the middle, with a look of helplessness on his face. He could only fight violence with violence, and fight ignorance with ignorance.
"Folks, please disperse. The palace has sent a master to figure it out. It is not appropriate for you to practice these things recently. Once you do rituals, you will be violating God's will and will be punished by God!"
As he said this, Feng Qing signaled to the guards he brought with him to quickly drive the crowd away.
Although the people did not believe it, Feng Qing was the county magistrate after all and represented the government, so they did not dare to confront the government head-on.
Under Feng Qing's firm attitude, both soft and hard, everyone reluctantly dispersed.
Feng Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Hu Chang'an with a wry smile and said, "Brother Hu, you just saw it. If you don't give these people some help, there's no guarantee they won't cause trouble later!"
"Today I managed to suppress it, but I don't know if the people will continue to clamor for a solution later."
Hu Changan sighed helplessly after seeing this noisy scene.
Now he finally understands the benefits of compulsory education.
Although these uneducated people are simple, they are indeed terrifyingly stubborn.
If it weren't for Feng Qing's suggestion today that it was an inappropriate move calculated by the master from Beijing, these people would most likely still be gathering here to cause trouble.
It seems that at the moment, we can only try our best to control the epidemic as quickly as possible before it spreads on a large scale!
After returning to the county government, Hu Changan quickly called all the doctors to hold a meeting, focusing on how to prevent and control the epidemic.
The highly respected imperial doctor first twirled his beard and spoke: "This epidemic is caused by wind-heat that affects the lungs. Therefore, once the patient becomes ill, he will have a high fever that is difficult to get rid of. The old man thought that he could use Yinqiao and other heat-clearing and fire-clearing medicines to evacuate the wind-heat and relieve the symptoms."
It is used to relieve cough."
After everyone listened, they all agreed and expressed their opinions.
After hearing this, Hu Changan sighed in his heart.
Treating it according to lung disease is indeed a way, and this is probably the best method these doctors can think of.
However, in the face of the menacing bubonic plague, this method was basically useless, and it was nothing more than nothing.
If the situation continues like this, the team will definitely be wiped out.
However, as a half-grown boy, Hu Changan had the least qualifications and was too embarrassed to interrupt everyone's discussion.
After all the doctors had finished speaking, Hu Changan couldn't wait to express his opinion: "Dear adults, this epidemic is different from ordinary lung diseases in the past."
"This disease is extremely contagious, and often when one person gets sick, the whole family suffers."
"There is no specific medicine at the moment. I suggest that it is better to isolate those who are already sick from those who are not sick."
"Send all those who are already sick to the valley of the side hospital to recuperate and receive collective treatment, so as not to affect more innocent people!"
After hearing this, the old doctor immediately retorted with a beard and a glare: "Master Hu, how could you do this? A doctor is so benevolent that he throws a sick person into a valley to fend for himself. What does it look like?!"
"If Mr. Hu is afraid of getting sick, it would be better for you to return to the city quickly and leave us doctors here."
The old doctor's implication was very simple, that Hu Changan, an outsider, should not join in the fun.
The old lady doctor also had his reasons for saying this.
This old doctor has been working in the palace since the Yuan Dynasty and has been practicing medicine for forty or fifty years.
Over the years, the old lady has treated countless dignitaries and ordinary people.
Diseases that other people couldn't cure were easily cured by the old lady doctor. Just apply a few medicines and the patient would be alive and kicking immediately.
Therefore, the old doctor has also accumulated a good reputation in the industry over the years.
Even this time, the county magistrate Feng Qing had to work hard for a long time before he asked the old doctor to come out.
Therefore, the old doctor naturally did not give in to Hu Chang'an, who had no official position and only had a false title as an aide to the prince.
Now that Hu Changan, a layman, wanted to interfere with his diagnosis and treatment, the old doctor was naturally unhappy with him in every possible way.
The old doctor believed that given time, these infected people would be able to achieve complete recovery like other patients in his hands.
Many of the doctors in the hall were the disciples and disciples of the old doctor. Seeing that the old doctor had spoken, they naturally echoed the words and told Hu Changan to go wherever he liked and not to disturb their medical practice.
After hearing this, Hu Changan shook his head repeatedly and walked out of the hall disappointed.
It seems that now I can only rely on my own efforts!
Hu Changxin stepped forward and borrowed a set of Taoist robes from Feng Qing, preparing to fight fire with fire.
...
The next day, on the village street, a blind Taoist with his eyes covered with cloth and carrying a big bamboo basket on his back walked.
This person is none other than Hu Changan who has already dressed up.
Strange to say, although the Taoist man had his eyes tightly covered with a black cloth, he walked as if he were walking on flat ground, not as if he could not see at all.
This is also Hu Changan's little plan.
Yesterday, Hu Changan specially exchanged a mini camera from the system and fixed the camera in the Taoist hat on his head, while the screen was fixed under the black cloth covering his eyes.
In this way, Hu Changan can use the camera to see the road even when he is blindfolded.
Although it looks uncomfortable, it's still fine if you avoid the pebbles on the road.
The villagers walking on the road saw it and were surprised and confused.
Could it be that God finally responded to their call and sent immortals to come down to earth to help them?
Everyone's eyes were secretly staring at this weird Taoist, wanting to see what tricks he was going to pull off.
I saw Hu Changan walking to the open space in the middle of the village, unloading the bamboo basket behind his back, sitting down on the ground and shouting: "Fellow fellow villagers, this poor Taoist is called Tongxuan Zhenren, and he was specially sent by the Emperor of Heaven to rescue you.
!”
"This Taoist has sacred water and holy stones brought down from the sky, which can cure all diseases!"
