After successfully fooling all the patients in Qingning County, the people below followed suit and concentrated the patients from several other counties in Qingping County.

The epidemic in Qingping County is extremely serious. The disease was originally symptomatically the second day, and the mortality rate was 100%. It should not have been spread so quickly. It was bad. Before the imperial court arrived, the people of Qingping County did something stupid.

...They gathered together and held a sacrificial ceremony to "send the plague god".

In an era when the world was fearing ghosts and gods, the locals behind the mountains and fields were particularly superstitious and believed that the plague was brought by the plague god. As long as the plague god was sent away, the disaster would naturally leave. So, the people of the county brought the patients from every household together, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times at the altar where offerings were placed, muttering words and praying.

When Wei Lian heard about this, his temple jumped hard.

...In his eyes, this is simply a large droplet transmission scene, a large clustered epidemic. The accident scene, and the large mortals are desperate to die.

It can be imagined that the plague god was unable to send it away. More than half of the entire Qingping County were hit, except for some strong young people, almost all the troops were wiped out.

When the imperial disaster relief team arrived, there were corpses everywhere and souls everywhere.

After Wei Lian took over Qingping County, he quickly took isolation measures to separate the patients from healthy people. All the patients were concentrated in the south, and healthy people temporarily lived in the north, and the two did not contact each other. The patients were taken care of by medical officials, and the whole body must be protected when taking care of them. The imperial physician was responsible for judging the severity of the symptoms of each patient and determining the dosage of the medication.

Some families were unwilling to separate from the patients at the beginning, and some were unwilling to cooperate obediently, as if they felt that being isolated was sentenced to death. Some people felt that the doctor gave them poison. The medicine was to poison them to death, and they deliberately knocked over the medicine bowl and didn't drink it even if they beat them to death.

The imperial physicians were so distressed. You should know that there were so many patients and the medicinal materials were in short supply, and some people were wasted such a lot of people. Their hearts were so painful that they were bleeding.

It is not easy to boil so many servings of medicine. There is not enough medicine for children. These old doctors are guarding the stove themselves. After several days of continuous operation, many of them are exhausted. The hard work that has been worked hard has been let down so much, it will be angered to death if you don’t feel sorry for it.

After hearing this, Zhou Yushan took the initiative to propose a solution.

That day, Zhou Yushan pushed Zhou Xiaoshan in a wheelchair and appeared in front of the people of Qingping County, proving to everyone that the court did have a way to save them.

"My fellow villagers, I can testify! You know, my mother died of this disease, and Xiaoshan was also sick at the beginning. I have been traveling around Jiangzhou City for the past few days to ask the dog official for an explanation. The dog official has now been taken to prison by the young master. They are different from the dog official who persecuted us in the past!" Zhou Yushan whispered loudly, "Xiaoshan is my sister, and she also suffered from this disease. Her whole right arm was rotten some time ago, but now! Look! Xiaoshan, let them see." Zhou Yushan said lightly.

Zhou Xiaoshan has never left home since childhood. It was a little nervous when facing so many gazes for the first time, but he still obediently rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms.

It takes a lot of courage for a girl to expose her arms in front of outsiders, but in order to save so many lives in Qingping County, she volunteered.

The arms of a girl who grew up in a civilian family are not as fair and tender as the daughter who is a girl who is in a deep boudoir, but her head is intact and there is no trace of rot.

The people who were originally excited and excited for a moment made Zhou Yushan's voice clearer: "Did you see that? She is getting better! After drinking the medicine prescribed by the young master, she did not get worse that day, but it faded a lot on the second day. Now on the third day, she is completely cured! Xiaoshan and you watched me grow up, we will not lie to you!"

The people were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into fierce looting. Originally, they were too lazy to avoid the medicine, but now they all rushed forward: "Give me a bowl!"

"I want to take medicine!"

"This medicine really guarantees that our medicine will cure the disease?"

"Don't worry, I'll give me a bowl!"

"I want it too!"

...

Zhou Yushan retreated, Wei Lian looked at him: "It's done well."

Zhou Yushan smiled shyly: "The young master saved Xiaoshan's life, but Caomin only spoke a few words and made a simple effort."

Wei Lian looked down at Zhou Xiaoshan's legs covered by blankets and said, "I can cure her legs."

Zhou Yushan was stunned.

"Save people to the end." Wei Lian chuckled softly, "It's just a matter of raising hands."

Zhou Yushan's eyes trembled, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Young master is very kind and kind, and you must repay the people as cows and horses!"

"No need." Wei Lian lowered his eyes.

"I said it, it's a simple task."

-

In the following days, things began to get on track. The government affairs of Jiangzhou were temporarily handed over to Zhou Mingli, and Wei Lianze gave Zhou Xiaoshan acupuncture every day, accompanied by drug conditioning, slowly recovering her legs, and at the rest of the time, he would also pay attention to the progress of the epidemic. The imperial physicians and medical doctors were busy seeing patients, decocting medicine, and feeding them, and everyone was busy.

However, the treatment speed is really not as fast as the patient's death. The medicinal materials are limited, decocting takes time, and there is not enough staff to take care of, so everything is powerless.

Qingping County is dead every day, and the bodies are piled up like mountains. It can only be said that the situation is much better than before the imperial court arrives. But in the face of life and death, the manpower is still small, and all they can do is to try their best to save it.

The corpses were burned by Wei Lian to prevent them from becoming a new source of infection. However, this move was protested by the families of the deceased, who believed that people should be buried after death, and burning the remains was to crush their bones and ashes, and innocent people should not be treated like this. Some families gathered and wanted to take the corpses away and bury them.

Some soldiers could not understand this approach, but because of the prestige that Wei Lian has established in the past few days, they chose to obey the order unconditionally and intend to speak with the families of the deceased who were protesting.

Wei Lian said, "Let them take them away."

The soldiers were stunned and let the road open.

A few days later, news came that the families who took away the bodies were all infected with the plague without exception, while the families who chose to leave the bodies were safe and sound.

On the same day, some people were found to be infected among the soldiers. The was that they had secretly taken off the towel and breathed.

At this point, no one dared to question Wei Lian's orders anymore. He said he wanted to burn the body, but no one stopped him.

Everything proves that the young master is right, and he has become a myth in everyone's hearts.

Wei Lian sent all the infected family members and soldiers to the isolation area. Now with medication, patients with mild symptoms will recover soon.

However, the shortage of manpower and medicinal materials has caused many people to go from mild symptoms to severe symptoms, and they have not been able to wait for that bowl of life-saving medicine until they die.

Driven by the desire to survive, people will become selfish.

Patients robbed medicine in the isolation area.

-

Xu Wenqing has become a little silent these days.

He is a doctor, but he has never seen much life and death. He was born in Yongping, which is prosperous. The biggest disease he has ever seen in the past is to treat people with headaches and fevers.

But now he faces separation from life and death every day.

Seeing the couple's yin and yang separation, parents' white hair sending black hair, and children's loss of parents, all of them are the most painful in the world. Anyone with empathy will feel sad when watching.

There was a serious shortage of manpower, and Xu Wenqing has been taking care of the patients for several days. The patient who had spoken to him yesterday may have been covered with white cloth today and carried it out to burn it into a handful of ashes. This happened a lot, and he even dared not talk to the patients anymore.

The imperial physicians are people who are in close contact with patients. Even if they are prevented from taking any measures, many imperial physicians have been attacked and have changed from doctors to patients. Those who can have a certain status in the imperial hospital are all older and have poor physical resistance. Even if the imperial physician takes medicine as soon as possible, an old imperial physician left them.

The old doctor was called grandpa by Xu Wenqing, and he was considered highly respected in the Imperial Hospital.

On the day of his death, the people in the Imperial Hospital mourned him for a moment, then suppressed his sadness and continued to work to save his life.

Wei Lian came to the scene silently, bowed gently to the old doctor's body, and then ordered it to be burned.

In the flames soared into the sky, Xu Wenqing stood by the side for a long time.

This incident seemed to have become the last straw that crushed him.

"Dad." The seventeen-year-old boy looked at his father's eyes slightly red. "I originally thought it would be sad that I could not help if I stayed in Yongping. But I found out that I was here, but I still couldn't save them. I watched them die, which seemed even more sad."

Doctor Xu touched his son's head: "Then choose again, are you going to come?"

Xu Wenqing nodded: "I'm coming."

"Although I can't save so many people... I can at least save some people."

Doctor Xu said with relief: "Our Xu family has a good young man."

Two days later, Doctor Xu was infected with a plague while caring for the patients.

Xu Wenqing went to take care of him personally.

Doctor Xu has a mild illness and is still strong in his body. He can get better by taking a few doses of medicine. However, when Xu Wenqing planned to serve Doctor Xu, a middle-aged man with almost half of his body ran over and panted. He used all his strength to snatch the medicine bowl and drank it all: "Give me the medicine!"

Xu Wenqing was stunned and said angrily: "What are you doing with the medicine? You are so sick, the dosage of this bowl of medicine is useless to you!"

The big man said hideously: "It's always better than it is! Why can you drink medicine first? I haven't seen it until I'm almost dying!"

Xu Wenqing choked: "There is a shortage of medicinal materials now, so it takes time to suck it, wait..."

"I will die if I wait!" The big man sneered, "What? Your life is fate, but ours is not?"

Xu Wenqing's face turned red with anger: "But my father is cured of his illness and still wants to save you! He got sick to save you!"

The big man was unable: "Since it was to save us, isn't it right to give me your father's life-saving medicine? This is what he deserves!"

Xu Wenqing suddenly became speechless.

Xu Wenqing shivered as he watched the man leave.

This pure and kind boy began to doubt the significance of his study of medicine.

He found that he could save lives.

But it cannot cure people's hearts.

-

The man was unable to survive in the end. The mild medicine was useless to him, and he died.

Xu Wenqing went to boil another bowl of medicine and gave it to his father. After Doctor Xu recovered, he continued to join the ranks of saving the patients.

Xu Wenqing became more and more silent, mixed with a hint of indifference. He seemed to have a knot in his heart.

Recently, another farce happened. A patient from Qingning County was cured and sent back. However, her son was unwilling to accept the old mother. Instead, he shouted: "Where is gold! Who wants this immortal? I want gold!"

"If you don't give me gold, I'll make trouble! How can you lackeys in the court without trust!"

Sad and ridiculously, there are more than one such incident.

"Young Master, many people gathered outside and made a fuss, saying that they wanted to give them gold, which was very fussy..." The guard hesitated, "Or... let's give it to them?"
