Magistrate Zhao interrupted him, "Nothing but. If we open the city gate rashly and people from outside the city rush in, how should I explain to the people in the city?"
Qingyang lowered his head and found that he had no way to refute, so he could only follow the arrangement and stay in Zhao Mansion.
People outside didn't know what was going on, so Wang Cheng led guards from all walks of life to start checking house to house.
At night, Wang Cheng really took the manpower and went from house to house to find a lot of patients. Fortunately, they were discovered early. Wang Cheng arranged all the people with symptoms together and sent special doctors to treat them.
heal.
Because of his quick action, the number of infected people was reduced to a minimum. Unexpectedly, the next day, nearly half of the people in the city fell ill. After Wang Cheng learned the news, he immediately told Magistrate Zhao about the news. Unexpectedly, Magistrate Zhao
Ling's family also fell into ruin.
On the contrary, Qingyang was already standing at the door of Zhao Mansion in high spirits.
"Are you really okay?" Wang Cheng couldn't believe it, "When you came in yesterday, you clearly..."
He is obviously a person who has been infected with the plague, so why can Qingyang stand in front of him unharmed today?
"I have recovered. I heard that half of the people in the city have been infected. Miss Yun has told me how to deal with it before I came. You go and have people who are infected with the plague use plant ash in the places where they have lived.
Sprinkle it all over, and if there is excess mugwort in the medicine shops in the city, ask someone to collect it all and transport it here, and I will tell you what to do with it."
Now Wang Cheng and County Magistrate Zhao are like headless flies, they don't know what to do at all. With what Qingyang said, they naturally acquiesced.
The people in the city cannot continue like this. If the entire city is infected with the plague, something big will happen.
"That's right." Before the royal city had gone far, Qingyang stopped him again, "Now everyone in the city may be infected, so you divide the city into three places, and the people who are not infected with the plague are in one place.
, people with mild symptoms are in one place, and people with severe symptoms are in another place. This way, we can manage it easily, and we won’t be in a mess when the time comes, and we don’t know how to start.”
Wang Cheng was originally like a headless fly, but after Qingyang said this, his mind suddenly became clear.
He glanced at Qingyang, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word and went directly to make arrangements.
Seeing that he was gone, Qingyang turned around and entered the Zhao Mansion. What he didn't say was that Magistrate Zhao was already one of the people suffering from the plague.
With so many plagues, Qingyang had to think about it seriously. Magistrate Zhao wanted to find out the mastermind behind the riots, so he had to go all out. So many refugees came to Ruizhou City. It must be that there were people from the south of Hubei Province.
It’s the work of those few people.
However, they may be disappointed this time. Although the plague is terrible, if there is a good medicine to treat the problem, then the plague, which most people avoid, is not such a terrible thing.
The pill Yun Miaomiao gave him was very useful, and he could clearly feel his body relaxing now.
Although Yun Miaomiao told him how to deal with it before coming, but now even Magistrate Zhao is in trouble. If he fails to save Magistrate Zhao, then the result of Yun Miaomiao's hard work will still be in vain.
Qingyang didn't want to see this.
Yun Miaomiao stayed with the lady and Xiao Nuo all night, and finally at dawn, the residual heat on their bodies had subsided, and the red rash on their bodies had also subsided, and it was not as scary as it looked before.
Yun Miaomiao sat on the side of the road and cooked porridge for three people in an old casserole. When the aroma of rice came out of the casserole, Xiao Nuoba sat up from the ground, chirping.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Xiao Nuo rubbed her sleepy eyes, "It smells so good."
Yun Miaomiao heard the voice, looked back at her, and said in a relaxed tone, "After you have cooked the porridge, ask your mother to get up and take a sip. She just contracted the plague yesterday, and she finally got rid of her fever today, so she should eat as much as she needs.
Eat so many mouthfuls, otherwise your body won’t be able to bear it.”
Xiao Nuo pursed her lips, as if she was having some ideological struggle, and finally walked towards Yun Miaomiao and stood beside her, "Sister, there is something I want to tell you."
"Well, tell me." Yun Miaomiao had already divided the porridge water in the casserole into three parts and handed a portion to Xiao Nuo, "Let's talk while drinking."
Xiaonuo was holding the porridge, and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Sister, actually we didn't come to Ruizhou in the first place. Someone was spreading the word in the north, saying that Ruizhou had food and a good county magistrate who could give it to us.
Find a place to stay. People in our village were all clamoring to flee because of the famine, but in the end there were still many people staying. But who knows, for some unknown reason, all of us who stayed behind were infected overnight.
I got a strange disease and developed a high fever. At first everyone thought it was a common fever, but who knew that the fever disappeared after two days. Gradually, more and more people developed high fever, and more and more of us died.
Everyone got scared and started running away."
"At the beginning, we also wanted to find a few nearby villages to settle down, but we didn't expect that other villages were not much better. I don't know when someone started telling us that we should go south and go to Ruizhou. Ruizhou is better.
Good mountains and rivers will definitely heal us. We have just traveled a long way here. We have seen with our own eyes how many people died along the way. Not only in our village, but also in other places. The journey is so long.
, when we encountered a good county town, we would have thought not to move forward, but they drove us out one by one and told us to come to Ruizhou."
"One or two of them are like this. I think this is someone taking our lives as a joke and forcing us to come to Ruizhou. Along the way, I heard that there were riots in Ruizhou and even killed Magistrate Zhao. Later, Zhao
The county magistrate is back again. I think the person who did this is probably the same person who incited the riots. My father has asked me to read more and read more since I was a child. I am not a stupid person. Such obvious things are not
I can’t see it, sister, what should I do now? With so many people entering Ruizhou, it will definitely be like my village, all..."
When Xiao Nuo said it at the end, she started to cry. Yun Miaomiao actually had some thoughts last night. Now that Xiao Nuo mentioned it like this, she probably understood something.
It seems that someone is targeting Ruizhou. In other words, someone is targeting Magistrate Zhao.
Yun Miaomiao finished the last sip of porridge, "It's okay, I already know it. I already guessed it before I rescued you. It has nothing to do with you. You are also innocent victims. But if someone in your village really does something secretly,
, then I will definitely not let the people behind it go. Don’t worry, I will give you and those who died justice."
If the plague was really caused by someone, then the people behind it would not only be ruthless, they would be worse than animals.
Taking so many people's lives to frame Magistrate Zhao, isn't this cruel?
While he was talking, the woman lying on the ground had already woken up, and Xiao Nuo also fed her the porridge in his hand. The woman was already weak, but after drinking a bowl of porridge and water, she felt quite energetic.
"Girl, you saved me?"
The woman's mellow voice was accompanied by a bit of hoarseness, but her words were somewhat gentle, and she seemed to be a gentle person.
Yun Miaomiao originally thought that Xiao Nuo and the woman were simple villagers, but now that they have met each other, from the temperament point of view, they do not look like ordinary villagers, but more like a woman and a young lady from a down-and-out family.
Just like myself!
Thinking of this, Yun Miaomiao's eyes lit up. It seemed that these two people were the same as herself.
Yun Miaomiao calmed down the emotions on her face and put on a smile, "It's just a little effort. You have taken the medicine and the plague on your body has been cured. There is no need to worry about killing you. Now you want to continue to Rui?"
You can go to Zhoucheng, but there are a lot of people who are likely to be infected there, so I don’t recommend that you go there. Although you have recovered, there is no guarantee that you will be infected with the plague again. After all, the plague is not a disease that can be completely eliminated.
Things that can be eliminated can only be prevented. I have done what I should do. These are the only rations I have left, so take them."
She took out a small cloth bag and put these steamed buns in it. Although there were not many, it was already the greatest favor to Xiao Nuo and the others.
"How can we accept such an important thing?"
The woman refused directly and pushed the thing away.
