Chapter 389: I'll leave everything to Dr. Song
Luo Gang thought about it. Before, the adults didn't let them get close, so he just watched from a distance. Later, he learned about it from the doctor.
"High fever, cough, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy—those are the general symptoms. Madam has been waiting for news from Master at home, so she sent us to Lushan Village to see Doctor Song."
Song Yuntang nodded, asked Xu Wencheng to harness the mule cart, and asked him to stay at home, planning to ask Xia Ning to set off alone.
Xu Qingye strode out of the house.
"I will go with you."
Jiang and Xu Yongwang stood at the door, looking worried.
She really wanted to selfishly detain Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang, but such a big thing happened in Anyang County, and her daughter-in-law's medical skills were among the best in Anyang County.
If she is not allowed to go, if the epidemic becomes serious, it will definitely affect all the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Anyang County.
By then, none of them will be spared.
The overall situation is more important now, she can't bring herself to say that.
Song Yuntang looked back at Xu Qingye, shook his head and said, "You've only been well for a while. To avoid infection, it's better not to come with me. I'll be careful and there will be no problem."
Luo Gang, standing by, also said, "There are government officials, as well as local villagers and doctors over there. They will definitely cooperate with Dr. Song. Mr. Xu has finally recovered, so it's best for him to wait for news at home. Once the epidemic is under control, I will personally escort Dr. Song home."
Xu Qingye glanced in Song Yuntang's direction, and seeing her determined eyes, he didn't say much.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
Jiang's eyes also reddened as she said, "Tang'er, you must protect yourself when you are outside."
"it is good."
Song Yuntang nodded, looked in the direction of Xu Qingye, took Xia Ning, and left Lushan Village with Luo Gang.
Watching the carriage go away, Jiang couldn't help but shed tears.
"What should I do?"
After the carriage disappeared, Xu Qingye went into the house, took something out, turned around and walked out of the house, and walked straight towards the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Jiang wiped her face and hurried forward.
"Aono, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the provincial capital."
The man walked straight out of the yard without even turning his head and walked away.
……
The epidemic started in Hehua Village in Qingshi Town.
Because of famine, many refugees were begging for food everywhere, and the disease was carried and spread everywhere. The people in the town and surrounding villages were infected to varying degrees.
Zhu Deming, who came here to inspect, was not spared either.
However, due to the doctors' great attention, his condition did not worsen too seriously. When Song Yuntang arrived, he was still able to walk, but he was pale and looked tired and weak.
The room still smelled strongly of medicine.
Song Yuntang stood at the door wearing a veil and bowed to him.
"Is Master Zhu okay?"
During the New Year holidays, he could even visit villages and towns, always thinking about the people. Whether in his past life or this life, such an official could be considered a top official.
Zhu Deming waved his hands.
"I won't die." He coughed twice into his hand. Before Song Yuntang arrived, someone had already reported the matter to him. "Calling Doctor Song here at this time is really a helpless move. I hope Doctor Song will forgive me."
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"That's fine. I'm from Anyang County, too. If Anyang County is plagued by an epidemic, we won't be immune either. Has the plague prevention prescription I gave you been distributed to the nearby towns?"
Zhu Deming nodded. "After raising the money a while ago, I immediately ordered the medicinal materials and sent people down to implement it. I didn't expect Qingshi Town to fall."
Fortunately, after seeing the situation here, he had already blocked off the entire Qingshi Town, otherwise several nearby towns would not have been spared.
But I'm afraid there will still be people who escape from here through the small path.
"The victims have no fixed place to stay, so many people will inevitably be missed when applying the pesticides. It's hard to prevent this. But after using the pesticides, the damage will be relatively alleviated and the symptoms will not be as severe."
Song Yuntang handed the medicine box to Xia Ning and looked at Zhu Deming.
"Let me show it to Master Zhu first."
Zhu Deming covered his mouth and coughed twice.
"I'm running out of medicine. I can still hold on for now, so I'll show it to those people outside first."
Qin Shi Huang, the lawyer standing by, hurriedly advised, "Sir, you should let Doctor Song take a look first. Before the imperial court sends someone, you still have to make the final decision on all matters in Anyang County."
Luo Gang also said, "Yes, sir, it is a good thing that you sympathize with the people, but once you fall, who will take charge of the overall situation for the people?"
Song Yuntang went into the room on his own.
"Master Zhu's selfless dedication is truly touching, but Madam Zhu is pregnant and waiting at home, and he even sent someone to Lushan Village to summon me here during the New Year. Does Master want to disappoint Madam Zhu?"
After listening to what several people said, Zhu Deming could no longer insist on anything.
Originally, he just thought that he could still hold on, so he focused on treating those with serious illnesses first. After all, it was a human life.
The situation here has been reported to the prefect. The epidemic is a matter of great importance. I believe that after receiving the news from the capital, they will send people down to deal with it as soon as possible.
Then he will be able to use the medicine.
After Song Yuntang took Zhu Deming's pulse, he first prescribed a prescription and asked someone to prepare the medicine according to the prescription.
Zhu Deming looked at Master Qin.
"Since Doctor Song is here, you should follow her instructions regarding the arrangements for the disaster victims. Here, her words are mine."
Master Qin nodded.
"Yes."
Zhu Deming looked at Song Yuntang again and said, "I'll leave everything to Doctor Song."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Now that I'm here, I'll do my best."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Then, she began to arrange for government officials to isolate patients who had contracted the epidemic according to the severity of their illness. Except for those healthy people who were willing to stay and help, the rest of the people also lived a little further away.
In addition, the remaining medicine for preventing the plague was boiled every day, diluted with water and then given to them.
Although the effect of the medicine is not strong, it is better than nothing and it does have some preventive effect.
Under Song Yuntang's instructions, warming measures were also taken in the area where the patients were housed.
After arranging everything, Song Yuntang began to lead the three original doctors to diagnose pulses and prescribe medicine while wearing face scarves.
However, after the widespread use of plague-preventive medicines, the government now does not have enough money, and the medicinal materials that can be transported to Qingshi Town to treat the epidemic are very limited.
There are not enough medicinal materials, so it is relatively difficult to control the plague.
The patients drank diluted medicine. In his spare time, Song Yuntang drew the appearance of the needed medicinal materials and summoned healthy officers, soldiers and civilians to go into the mountains to collect medicinal materials.
But now that the cold winter has just passed, medicinal materials in the mountains are really scarce, and there are extremely many people infected with epidemic diseases, and the shortage of medical care and medicine has not been solved.
The worst thing is that there is not enough food.
After persisting for four or five days, Zhu Deming's condition improved after taking the medicine prescribed by Song Yuntang because his symptoms were mild to begin with.
However, due to the lack of medicinal materials, the plague in Qingshi Town has not been significantly improved. Although there are some improvements, the number of people infected is increasing.
