Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 249

The smallpox plague has spread outside the city and intensified. The people in the south of the Yangtze River began to flee in panic. The arresters and servants of the magistrate's yamen and county magistrate's yamen had physical conflicts and suffered some injuries when they blocked the people.

In the end, this incident alarmed the new governor, Wang Yuechao, who mobilized a thousand regiments of training soldiers to seal off Lengyan Town, Dantu Town and more than ten surrounding villages, strictly prohibiting the refugees from fleeing, otherwise they will be treated as mobs. burn.

It has to be said that Wang Yuechao has been working in the poor mountains and bad waters of Lingnan all the time. He met the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty.

But even more terrifying than the smallpox plague were the rumors and panics, which were more devastating than the disease itself.

Runzhou City has been closed, and the fortress leading to Jinling City is also strictly guarded by the garrison, preventing business travelers and common people from moving, unless they are guided by the governor's office and the magistrate's office.

The people of Runzhou City fell into panic, because in the next few days, smallpox patients also appeared in Runzhou City, who died on the streets or in the alleys, and the plague enveloped the city.

All entertainment activities in the city were cancelled, the brothels were also deserted, and the Peony Pavilion in Xiangyun Hall was still short of the last two finales, so it was also stopped.

Liu Mo Nong brought her maid Xiaohe to Su's mansion, and she doesn't hide her affection for Su Chen at the moment. Anyway, Su Chen's identity is exposed, and the world knows that she has an ambiguous relationship with Su Yixuan, a great talent. The rumors are confirmed.

Some talented scholars who wanted to pursue Liu Mo Nong felt a lot of pressure immediately, and even gave up in despair, because they could not be compared with "Jiang Zuo Su Lang" in comparison to talent.

However, there are also talented people who concentrate on preparing for the exam, hold back their energy, and plan to show off their skills in the autumn room and suppress Su Chen's limelight.

"Brother Su, Runzhou is closed and you can't leave for the time being. What are your thoughts?" Liu Mo Nong was a little worried that the plague would spread and he might be infected at any time, so he had other thoughts when he came to Su Mansion.

Because of the epidemic, no one is sure that they can survive. If tens of thousands of people die in this disease, Liu Mo Nong does not think that he will be lucky to escape.

Instead of parting from life and death and dying alone, it is better to come to the Su Mansion more these days, to be able to get along with the man you like, and to get through such a difficult time, it is considered as a shared adversity.

Liu Mo Nong even thought of committing himself to a promise.

Even if it's a one-night pleasure, it's better to have it once than not experience it at all.

Su Chen smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, take good precautions when you go out, such as wearing a mask and protective equipment, wash your hands with soap after you get home, and don't gather in crowded places, the chance of infection will be reduced a lot."

"Is this a mask?" Liu Mo Nong asked when he saw some palm-sized cloth pieces on his table.

"That's right, I asked Bai Susu to ask Bai Susu to make a batch of masks, which are protective when you go out. However, you women often use veils, which also have a certain protective effect. But these are side details. In the face of Smallpox is such a stubborn virus, its effect is still limited, I plan to go to the governor in the afternoon to discuss the matter of going out of the city to save people."

Liu Mo Nong was surprised and said: "Brother Su, you want to go out of the city to save people, this... this is too dangerous."

Su Chen shook his head, comfortingly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to prevent smallpox, but I need to go out of the city to find medicine, and I need someone from the governor or prefect to cooperate with me."

So, Su Chen selectively spoke out his thoughts, and stabilized Liu Mo Nong.

"If Big Brother Su can cure smallpox, then the common people will survive, and everyone in the world will be grateful for Big Brother Su's medical skills.

Liu Mo Nong sighed with emotion. When she was a child, she experienced the scene of family ruin and death, which hurt her a lot. In the face of today's natural disaster, her sad memories were brought back, and she felt sad for the tragic experience of the people in those villages and towns.

Knowing that Su Chen had a way to save them, Liu Mo Nong was naturally very happy.

Su Chen asked: "These few days, aren't you performing in Xiangyun Pavilion?"

Liu Mo Nong nodded and said: "Well, due to the impact of smallpox, the Xiangyun Pavilion has been half closed, and the performance of the Peony Pavilion has also stopped."

Su Chen said: "Well, move here to live in Su Mansion during this period of time, don't go back, your Xiangyun Hall is crowded with people, smallpox plague spreads there, once this virus is infected, there is no specific medicine Severe patients can only be treated immediately, and mild patients can be carried over by themselves. With the help of decoction, the recovery will be faster. I think the method of dealing with smallpox is also based on prevention. Smallpox can be avoided for life. Since the dose is limited, we give priority to using it ourselves , and then promote it.”

Hearing this, Liu Mo Nong felt the danger of the situation, and at the same time, because of Su Chen's love, his heart was warmed, and his affection for him doubled.

In the past, I always felt that Su Chen deliberately avoided her feelings, but when disaster struck, Su Chen immediately wanted her to move into the Su family for protection, and he did not avoid suspicion, which moved her very much.

"Brother Su, you must be careful when you go out!"

Su Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my own safety."

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from the yard, and a head catcher broke into the yard, shouting: "Where is Mr. Su, something serious happened."

Su Chen frowned and walked out of the room, saw that the head catcher was Lu Jin, and asked, "Boss Lu, what happened?"

Lu Jin cupped his hands and said: "No, it's not bad, the magistrate has developed a high fever, he seems to have suffered from smallpox, just returned to the magistrate's yamen by car, the magistrate has locked himself in a wing room now, and does not allow anyone to approach People prepared dry food and water for him at the door. The magistrate also said that if he died of illness after a few days, he would be directly cremated..."

Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard the words, even the prefect Peng had suffered from smallpox, and things seemed to be getting out of control.

He had been waiting for Peng Zhifu to come back, and wanted to promote his method of treating smallpox. This required the help of the yamen, but after waiting for a few days, he prepared all kinds of medical tools at home and sent his servants outside the city. It was difficult to buy a few cows for storage, but waited to return to Peng Zhifu who was infected with smallpox.

Su Chen said: "What he did was right! You came to me because you want me to persuade the magistrate?"

Lu Jin shook his head and said: "No, everyone in our yamen knows that Mr. Su is very skilled in medicine, and he was able to open his abdomen to save people last time. This time, there may be a way to treat smallpox, so let's come here and ask Mr. Su to go to the magistrate. To see a doctor."

"..." Su Chen was a little speechless, he knew that cowpox could prevent smallpox, but treating people who already had smallpox was not an easy task.

At this moment, the door of the main hall opened, and Peng Qingqing had heard Catcher Lu's conversation, rushed out and said, "My father has smallpox? Is it serious, no, I want to go back and see him—"

"Stop, you can't go!" Su Chen suddenly shouted, reaching out his hand to stop her.

It was a matter of his father's life and death. Peng Qingqing usually got angry with her father, but blood is thicker than water, and the love between father and daughter is deep. At this time, she is still very worried about her father's safety, so she doesn't listen to persuasion at all.

"Su Chen, get out of the way!" Peng Qingqing stared at Su Chen, her stubbornness came up, and she returned to her wild nature.

Su Chen grabbed her arm, and said calmly, "I'll go. You stay at home and don't take any risks. If your father really got smallpox, it would be dangerous for anyone to get close. Your injury is not healed, and your body's resistance is not strong enough. , It was easy to be infected in the past. Besides, you don’t have medical skills, so it’s useless to go there, let me go and have a look.”

Lu Jin also said: "Miss, let Mr. Su go."

Seeing Su Chen's serious face and taking the initiative to save others, Peng Qingqing's heart suddenly softened, she stretched out her arms and threw herself into Su Chen's arms, crying, "Su Chen, you You must save my father!"

Su Chen said firmly: "I know, nothing will happen to your father!"

"You can't have an accident!" After Peng Qingqing finished speaking, she moved her lips together, kissed him lightly on the cheek, then turned around, and ran back to the room with some embarrassment.
