Chapter 755
The horror of smallpox is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Chu Qingzhi can't change it with just a few words. Shopkeeper Zhu pretended to be calm, "Miss Chu, look at who else among us has smallpox, if you get it, find a corner and stay by yourself, don't go out Infect others."

These words were very conscientious, Chu Qingzhi nodded, put on a mask, and felt the pulse one by one.

After taking the pulse, three of them were infected, and shopkeeper Zhu asked them to find a room to rest by themselves and not to touch other people.

But the worst thing is not this, but his pigs. There are nearly 1000 pigs infected with smallpox now, and one pig can be sold for about ten taels of silver, which is [-] taels of silver in vain.

Shopkeeper Zhu asked bitterly, "Miss Chu, can you cure the pig for me?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "I'll go to dispense the medicine right away." She thought for a while and said, "Master Zhu, go and find out where there is smallpox, and tell me right away after you find out."

The epidemic must be brought under control as soon as possible, otherwise the family business will definitely be affected.

Shopkeeper Zhu responded very simply, "This matter is on me."

Chu Qingzhi went straight to the major pharmacies in the county to buy a large amount of antipyretic medicinal materials. The symptom she found now was high fever, so she just took the antipyretics and rested.

The medicinal materials were directly brought to Zhuangzi, the treasurer of Zhu, to fry, saving pigs and people.

Chu Qingzhi just finished working here, Chu Xujin rushed to Zhuangzi with two yamen servants, his face was extremely nervous, "Fifth sister, something serious happened."

Chu Qingzhi had a hunch that it might be related to smallpox, so she took Chu Xujin to a corner and said, "Third brother, what's the big deal?"

Chu Xujin rubbed his nose, "Actually, I don't know what the big deal is. It was the master who yelled. The master whispered a few words to the magistrate, and then the magistrate asked me to come to you."

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Xujin, this third brother still needs to be more cautious, "Then let's go, the matter here is almost done."

Chu Xujin nodded, "Okay."

Chu Qingzhi went to explain, and then followed Chu Xujin to the county government.

……

County government.

The arrival of Chu Qingzhi was warmly received by the county magistrate, "Miss Chu, only you can solve this matter, you must help."

"As long as you help the county solve this problem, the seat of the county captain will be given to your third brother, and you will be rewarded a lot."

With so many benefits promised, it seems that things are very difficult, Chu Qingzhi said, "Please tell me, my lord."

The county magistrate frowned, "There is a Yun village in the south of the county seat. This village is next to the official road. Recently, people in this village have developed high fevers one after another, infecting passers-by."

The county magistrate's eyebrows can pinch a mosquito to death, "It is obvious that this village is infected with the plague, and it is the first to show signs of high fever."

The county magistrate looked at Chu Qingzhi and said worriedly, "Miss Chu, see if you can cure them. If not, as the source of the disease, this village can only be sealed off."

In history, there is a record of a village being slaughtered because of the plague, which is very cruel.

But there is no way, if they don't die, more people have to die.

Chu Qingzhi said, "There is no problem in treating diseases, as long as the county magistrate can guarantee the supply of medicinal materials."

"No problem at all." Seeing that this kind of thing happened when it was time to assess his political achievements, people were going to worry him to death. Now, no matter what he wants, as long as it can solve the problem, he will give it to him!
"I'll rush over to have a look right away." Now that the source of the disease has been found, it's better to solve it as soon as possible, so as not to cause a large-scale disaster.

The county magistrate said gratefully, "Then I would like to thank Ms. Chu."

Afterwards, the county magistrate called Chu Xujin and Butou over, "Take your master and go to Yun Village with Miss Chu. If you need anything, just arrange it and do it cheaply."

"Yes, my lord."

Chu Qingzhi said, "By the way, magistrate, you should cooperate with the nearby counties to issue a document to let people who show signs of high fever come to Yuncun for treatment, otherwise if it is really the plague that your lord said, I am afraid that Yuncun will be destroyed." Some people were cured, and the epidemic broke out in other places.”

The county magistrate agreed, "Miss Chu is still considerate, I will issue the document immediately."

Chu Qingzhi asked the people from the county government to report a letter at home, and then rode to Yuncun on horseback.

……

Yun Village has been sealed off by officers and soldiers, only allowed to enter but not to exit. People who move around have covered their mouths and noses with cloth scarves and are heavily guarded.

Along with Chu Qingzhi, there was also a free medical team led by Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang.

"Master."

Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang planned to come over to check on the situation, and then report to Chu Qingzhi, but unexpectedly their master had already arrived.

"Cough cough cough..." Fan Yuru suddenly coughed.

Chu Qingzhi felt Fan Yuru's pulse, and frowned, "Why are you already infected?"

Rong Shiyu asked eagerly, "Qingzhi, what's the infection?"

Recently, many people with fever came to the doctor, and they all thought it was the wind and cold caused by the change of seasons.

The reason why something was wrong was that most of the people who came to see the doctor were from Yuncun, which made Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang vigilant, so they brought some people over to find out.

She and Fan Yuru were worried about the two of them and followed them, but they didn't expect that they had already been recruited.

"smallpox!"

"What? Smallpox!"

Fan Yuru panicked. Smallpox would kill her. Suddenly she thought of something, covered her mouth, and took a few steps back, "Stay away from me, so I don't infect you."

Rong Shiyu became frightened, "Qing Zhi, are you sure?"

"Sure, but don't worry, smallpox can be cured." Chu Qingzhi took out a pill from her bag and fed it to Fan Yuru, and then distributed masks to the four of them, "Yuru took the pill I made, You'll be fine once the fever subsides."

These words made several people relax a lot.

Zhan Hongjun came to help Fan Yuru, "There is a tent over there, I'll take you there to rest." The concern in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Fan Yuru nodded, looking at Zhan Hongjun with warm eyes, "I'm causing you trouble."

Zhan Hongjun carefully led Fan Yuru towards the tent, "If you say that again, I won't care about you."

Fan Yuru pinched the corner of Zhan Hongjun's clothes with two fingers, and gently tugged, "Okay, I won't talk anymore."

Zhan Hongjun pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes, "Yes."

Rong Shiyu asked Chu Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, what can I do?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "Lin Jiang, Shiyu, you guys wait here first, I'll go to the village to have a look."

"it is good."

Chu Xujin and a group of yamen servants were also asked by Chu Qingzhi to wait outside the village, waiting for her to see everything.

After explaining the good things one by one, Chu Qingzhi walked to the village, showing the badge given by the county magistrate, and the journey was unimpeded.

The entire Yuncun was blocked by officers and soldiers, and there was only one entrance and exit.
