Chapter 109 Counting the number of patients

He almost slipped his mouth, but luckily he changed his words quickly.

Yan Yunxiao raised his hand to stop what he wanted to say, and said flatly, "It's okay."

Since he opened the mouth himself, Imperial Physician Feng has nothing to say.

Immediately, he couldn't help but have a new view on His Majesty Dayan.

He bowed and stepped aside with a particularly respectful attitude. This scene fell into Jin Wu's eyes, and he glanced at Yan Yunxiao again, thinking in his heart: This person must be a high-ranking official.

Everyone made a simple settlement, and only one of the supplies from the six carriages was unloaded and placed here, and the other five carts were sent to the treatment point by everyone.

It was only two streets away, and the scene here was completely different from the place they had been to just now.

When everyone got out of the carriage, they saw two blindfolded men dragging a dead man out of the room, and a young girl rushed up from the next room crying, calling her brother's name, crying out of breath gas.

There was another aunt in the house, her face was also covered with a white cloth, and there were spots on her forehead, which was very similar to Uncle Gai's illness.

She pulled the woman back and comforted, "Sister, sorry! You can't go out! You have to hold on, your brother still has a child! If you are gone, what will happen to this child!"

Saying that, the young girl fell to the ground and cried loudly, and after being sick for a long time, her body couldn't hold it up immediately, and she passed out when she rolled her eyes.

The aunt wiped away two tears and dragged the unconscious woman back into the house.

At the windows of several other private houses, there were one or two people poking their heads inside to watch the situation here, with a look of despair on their faces.

Someone else died.

The people who persisted here the longest survived about 20 days, and they still saved themselves, using folk prescriptions, boiling water with black beans and licorice, and then procrastinating until now.

But more and more people are getting sick, and this method can't cure it. Now, let alone black beans and licorice, even the daily food is not enough.

Are they really going to die here?
Is there anything more hopeless than sitting in the room alive, watching the patients living around them die one by one, and then being dragged out?
Will he be the next one to be dragged out?

There is no hope, it seems that there is no hope at all.

Someone caught sight of Jin Wu who was accompanying the carriage, and he yelled, "Brother Jin Wu! It's Brother Jin Wu who is here!"

Jin Wu is now the backbone of this group of confused people. Seeing him coming, everyone felt a little comfort in their desperate hearts, so they called him and greeted him.

"Brother Jin Wu, the girl next door is in a coma, go and help her!"

The military guards were all guarding the supplies vehicle and did not follow in. Jin Wu followed Su Jiu'er and had no time to say hello to everyone at the moment.

Su Jiuer saw a few people lying on the window, some had blue foreheads, some had spots, and immediately felt that the patients living here had mixed symptoms, and it would be very inconvenient to distribute supplies and medicines.

Yan Yunxiao immediately asked, "How many people are there?"

Jin Wu thought for a while, and said, "There should be more than 300 people here. There are also patients in the village behind these three streets, but the situation is not as serious as here."

"Most of the villages behind are children. Our previous medicines were all about helping children."

There are also many people who follow Jin Wu to do things just to keep their children.

Yan Yunxiao didn't get a satisfactory answer, so he frowned and asked, "More than 300 people? Don't know the details?"

He sees the problem very clearly and hits the nail on the head.

Jin Wu said solemnly, "Yes, too many people have died in the past two days, and we have too few people to count the number of people."

Yan Yunxiao raised his chin slightly, glanced roughly at the houses, and then exchanged a glance with Su Jiuer.

Su Jiu'er immediately said to the boys behind, "Go and take down the spare cangzhu and Tusu wine from the car. The supplies can also be unloaded, and sent to an unoccupied room for the guards to Let's go and guard."

Seeing that they started to act very quickly, Jin Wu asked, "Miss Su, what are you doing?"

Su Jiu'er didn't reply.

Yan Yunxiao turned around and told the people behind him, "From now on, everyone will go separately to register all the patients here, and record the disease, house number, and name and age."

After a pause, he said just in case, "Don't touch it, and don't touch the furnishings in the house."

Everyone responded, and after a short while, they had already started their actions.

Two imperial physicians plus six apprentices of imperial physicians, each of them took a servant to register from door to door.

Although it was late at night, these patients were always on the verge of despair and anxiety, and had no desire to sleep at all.

The other two servants, one began to burn Cangzhu around these houses to get rid of the pestilence, and the other started to pour Tusu wine around the houses. After a while, the strong smell of medicinal wine began to permeate here.

The masked white cloths of their group were all covered with woody incense slices, and Yan Yunxiao ordered them to go down long before they came to Xiaolan County.

Although many people didn't know why they did this, some imperial physicians immediately realized that maybe the smell of woody fragrance could well keep out the pestilence, so they all did it to be safe.

Seeing these people moving quickly and carrying out every step of the plan methodically, Jin Wu couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he stood up to be the backbone of everyone, but before that, who would be his backbone?
Especially when they went to the surrounding counties and states for help, they were driven back instead. The feeling of being abandoned pushed them into the abyss of despair.

However, the hopes of so many villagers in Xiaolan County were pinned on him. He could only turn this pressure into motivation to continue fighting the plague, and finally he took the action of preparing to "rob" the carriage.

He wiped his eyes carelessly, turned his head just in time to meet Su Jiu'er and Yan Yunxiao's eyes, sniffed, and laughed, "There's sand in my eyes, sand in my eyes."

Su Jiu'er and Yan Yunxiao didn't expose it either, she thought that a dead man was dragged out just now, and the woman next door seemed to have fainted after seeing this scene, she wanted to go and have a look.

And the young man named Jin Wu just now saw that Jin Wu ignored him, so he lay down by the window and stared at Jin Wu talking with those few people. After a while, those people dispersed.

He didn't know the identities of those people, but the imperial physician and the imperial physician's apprentices carried their own small medicine boxes. The medicine box he recognized was similar to the one used by the doctors in the county, but it was not as luxurious.

He immediately guessed that Jin Wu should have found someone to help them.

"We are saved! Brother Jin Wu has found someone to save us! Cough cough cough!"

He leaned on the edge of the window and yelled excitedly, his tone was excited and eager, and he coughed violently, but he couldn't hide the raised corners of his mouth.

Hearing this, the uncle who lived with him tremblingly walked to the window, squinted his eyes and looked out, muttering, "Where is it? Where is it? Let me see."
