Chapter 269 Mei Yingying (Part 1)
Lin Shen, Zhao Linger and others used the Yuexing technique to arrive at a place called Meijiazhuang in Huainan, where the Palace Master of Lingyue led people to provide disaster relief.
Before Lin Shen could even open his mouth, Zhao Linger called out, "Master!"
Lingyue Palace Master looked back and said, "Ling'er, why are you here? Didn't you go with my friend to deal with the remaining Qionghua gang?"
"The remnants of Qionghua have been eliminated. I heard from grandma that there is a plague in Huainan, so I asked Brother Anos to bring Ling'er here. I hope I can help." Zhao Ling'er replied.
When the Palace Master of Lingyue Palace saw that not only Lin Shen had come, but also Lin Yueru, Anu, Jiang Wan'er, and even Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun had come.
The Lingyue Palace Master suddenly became unhappy and said in a scolding tone, "Nongxia, Lingyun, why did you follow us here? Don't you know it's dangerous here!?"
"I asked them to come with me." Lin Shen explained, "After all, they have been practicing on Xianling Island for a while, so I need to let them come out and gain some experience.
If you can't even handle this, forget about slaying demons and upholding justice in the world."
The Palace Master of Lingyue shook his head and said, "Forget it. After all, they are your disciples. It is not convenient for me to interfere too much."
Lin Shen asked, "Master, what's the situation now?"
Palace Master Lingyue shook her head and said, "The situation is not good right now. Those infected with the plague all have high fevers and persistent coughs."
When Lin Shen heard this, he thought: This seems to be just the flu. But then again, ancient people didn't get vaccinated, and their immunity was not as good as modern people. A slight illness could be fatal.
Lin Shen thought of the ways to deal with plagues in the modern world, and said, "What we can do now is to isolate those patients.
Also, pay attention to drinking water safety and have them drink only hot water every day. Also, make sure the isolation area is well ventilated.”
In fact, although there was an industry selling hot water in ancient times, the whole nation did not really start drinking hot water until the "New Life Movement" in 1934 and the public health activities after the founding of New China.
Zhao Linger asked, "Let them drink hot water? Why?"
Lin Shen said, "In fact, in the water we drink, there are two kinds of things that are invisible to the naked eye, called bacteria and viruses. These things enter the human body and have a negative impact on the body. Some diseases are caused by this."
Anu said, "Really? We have never seen it?"
Lin Shen rolled his eyes at Anu and said, "What did I say just now? That thing is invisible to the naked eye. In our time and space, it can only be seen through some special instruments."
Lin Yueru said, "Well, now there is a way, it is better than having no way. It is better to watch those people die."
Lin Shen hurriedly exchanged masks for ten people through the system and took them out, saying, "Put these on to prevent you from inhaling the virus."
Jiang Wan'er pointed at the masks and asked, "What are these?"
Lin Shen explained, "This is a mask, worn over the mouth and nose. It can prevent inhalation of viruses, like I do."
After saying this, Lin Shen hung the mask's ear straps on his ears, making the mask fit tightly against his face. Then Lin Shen stretched the mask to completely cover his chin. Lin Shen then said, "That's it."
The Palace Master of Lingyue and Zhao Linger and others also put on masks, so Lin Shen, Lin Yueru and Jiang Waner organized people to isolate the sick villagers.
The Lingyue Palace Master, Zhao Linger, and Anu led the Shuiyue Palace staff to care for the patient, examining him and prescribing medicine. As for Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun, they were just helping them, doing whatever they could, like collecting firewood and boiling water.
Just as Lin Shen was busy, he felt something pulling at the corner of his clothes, and at the same time heard a very childish voice, "Big brother~ Big brother~ Please~ save my grandma."
Lin Shen looked down and saw a little girl who looked about ten years old. She was wearing plain clothes, was very thin, had short hair, and a pair of big watery eyes that made people feel distressed.
Lin Shen leaned over and asked softly, "Little sister, what happened?"
The little girl cried, "My...my grandma is sick. Please, save her."
"Little sister, what's your name? Where does your grandma live? Take me to see her."
The little girl said in a very childish voice, "My name is Mei Yingying, and I'm eleven years old."
Before Lin Shen could say anything, the system notification sounded, "Ding! Mei Shengxue, one of the Five Wonders of Xianxia, has been detected!"
Lin Shen was used to this kind of thing. Perhaps it was really fate that the members of the Xianxia Five Wonders came on their own.
It was the same with Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun. They didn't even think of going there specifically to look for it. They just came across it by chance and accepted it.
Mei Yingying dragged Lin Shen towards her home. Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun also noticed it and ran over.
Mei Yingying dragged Lin Shen into a wooden house. The house was very dilapidated and even had some leaks. The two ran to a room where an old lady in her sixties or seventies lay on a wooden bed.
Mei Yingying shook the old lady's body and said, "Grandma...Grandma, Yingying brought the doctor to see you."
The old lady slowly opened her eyes and said, "Yingying, you're back."
Mei Yingying showed a hint of innocence and said, "Grandma, I brought the doctor to see you.
(Looking at Lin Shen) Big brother, please show it to grandma.
Lin Shen examined the old lady, and while he was doing so, Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun ran in. Qi Nongxia called out, "Master!"
Lin Shen just said "Oh" because he was going to examine the old lady.
Mei Yingying looked in the direction of the voice and saw two people who were not much different from her in age. They asked with a naive look on their faces, "Who are you two sisters? Are you here to look for big brother?"
Qi Nongxia said, "I am this elder brother's disciple, my name is Qi Nongxia.
(Pointing to Li Lingyun) The person next to you is my junior sister, Li Lingyun.
We saw you dragging Master away, so we followed you here."
Lin Shen checked and found that there was no big problem. It was just caused by long-term malnutrition. He would be fine after eating a few good meals.
Lin Shen coughed twice and said, "Uh~ Your grandmother's body has been checked."
Mei Yingying asked anxiously, "Big brother, how is grandma?"
Lin Shen took out a few coins and handed them to Qi Nongxia, saying, "Nongxia, go to the market and buy a chicken. If you have some extra money, buy some vegetables and eggs."
"Yes!" Qi Nongxia replied and went out, and Li Lingyun followed her.
After half an hour, Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun came back. Qi Nongxia was carrying a plucked chicken, and Li Lingyun was holding vegetables in his left hand and eggs in his right hand.
Lin Shen took a look and said, "Okay, come over and help me later."
Mei Yingying looked puzzled and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing? Why didn't you ask the two sisters to buy medicine?"
Lin Shen looked at Mei Yingying, chuckled and said, "Girl Mei, I'll give you a question. Once you figure it out, you'll understand."
"Big brother, just ask."
"What disease can this freshly baked bun cure?"
Mei Yingying looked surprised, and Qi Nongxia and Li Lingyun beside her were also confused.
Li Lingyun whispered, "Master, maybe you took the wrong medicine today? I've never heard that steamed buns can cure diseases."
Lin Shen had already heard it and shouted sternly, "You're the one who took the wrong medicine! Be careful or I'll punish you by making you copy the Tao Te Ching when you get home!"
Li Lingyun shuddered suddenly. Qi Nongxia thought for a moment and said, "Steamed buns...steamed buns...hungry...hungry! Yes, hungry!"
Lin Shen laughed and shook his head, saying, "Xia's brain is still better."
