The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 133
Yu Maimai followed the county magistrate to the door, and found two plague patients at the door, lying on the side of the road in great pain, and walked towards them.

"You two wait a moment, I'll prepare some potion for you, drink some first, and see if it's all right?"

The master's small eyes looked at Yu Maimai in front of him and said with some disdain: "My lord, isn't this nonsense? Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word? She is just a village woman. How can she cure the plague?"

The medicinal herbs that Yu Maimai took out from the system turned into a decoction after simple cooking, and Yu Maimai gave them to two patients.

The two patients looked at it and shook their heads. If it were normal, they would definitely not drink the decoction prepared by a village woman so casually, but at this time, if they don’t drink it, they will die like this. A glimmer of hope?

After drinking a bowl of decoction, Yu Maimai sat beside them and began to chat.

"Do you feel better now? Although my medicine is a bit bitter, it is more effective."

The man shook his head: "Really? From ancient times to the present, who can cure this plague, just rely on your soup, anyway, we are already like this, and drinking a little is better than nothing."

A woman next to her struggled to get up: "I feel better, and I don't feel uncomfortable now. Could it be that the medicine really worked?"

Yu Maimai couldn't be sure that the woman was really getting better, so she could only quietly wait for the man's reaction.

The woman sat up, and sure enough her body was no longer convulsed, she sat up: "Really, it works, I will be much better now, look, how much better are my hands and feet?"

Talking about the woman stretching out her hand for Yu Maimai to watch, at this moment, the man next to him stood up: "Look, I can walk. Look, do you feel that you have strength?"

Then Yu Maimai turned around anxiously and said to the master: "Hurry up and serve the porridge I made for you to eat. Now is the time to eat something, otherwise, you will faint from hunger after a while."

The master still had a look of dissatisfaction, and he muttered with some reluctance: "It's nothing more than a potion made from weeds, how dare it be effective against the plague, this woman is just blind, and now she wants to treat herself as a maid Made it?"

The county magistrate looked unhappy: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and serve the porridge!"

The master had to turn around and serve the porridge!
When the people around saw that the decoction was effective, they immediately gathered around, clamoring for the decoction.

The county magistrate immediately said to Mai Mai: "It seems that your medicinal materials are really effective, but now with your little medicinal materials and so many people, it is still difficult to control the current situation."

"My lord, let's do this. You can follow what the woman said, and build two porridge sheds at the door, and two tents for the treatment of patients, and then call some helpers and martyrs. Get the disease under control in time."

The county magistrate nodded: "This is not a solution, but if the current situation is like this, can it really control the source and prevent the plague from spreading?"

Yu Maimai pointed to the two patients in front of him and said, "You guys are much better now after drinking my medicine, right?"

The two nodded: "Well, I really didn't expect you to be our savior, just tell me, if you need any help, just say it."

"Help me go to the nearby mountain. I want to check whether there is any problem with the spring water used by the people in the city?"

The two nodded happily: "Well, yes, since you saved us, we have an obligation to help more people."

The county magistrate was very surprised by Maimai's action: "Yes, why did I forget this matter? By the way, the water source we drink now is the water source from the Liao country, that is to say, the water source is interconnected. , is it only by shutting off the water source that we can ensure that it will no longer spread?"

But the master kept shaking his head: "No, in this case, what do the people in our city eat, how many years have we used the water source, shouldn't there be any problems at this time, besides, even if the water source is intercepted, Then what are we going to eat?"

Yu Maimai had thought of this question a long time ago, and she said with a smile: "Sir, are you going up the mountain with us, or should we go up the mountain and see what's going on first?"

The county magistrate nodded immediately: "Of course, the problem of the water source concerns so many people in the city, how can I, the county magistrate, not go?"

So, Yu Maimai came to Houshan with the county magistrate, master, and several volunteers.

The waterway in the back mountain is really simple and easy to be polluted. She checked the waterway, frowned and said: "My lord, this waterway is not very safe. If conditions permit, we can use the bamboo on the mountain to divert the water source." To the place where we drink, and the water we use should be sealed to prevent it from being polluted."

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, pointed to the waterway and said: "In this situation, it is still troublesome to rectify the waterway. Can you think of a way to prevent this pollution, and wait until the plague comes, and then build the waterway. At that time, the project of repairing the waterway will be handed over to you!"

Yu Maimai didn't think this was a good thing, but he didn't refuse, so he sprinkled the anti-inflammatory powder he had prepared in advance into the water, and spread it all the way towards the waterway until it reached the border with Liao Kingdom. Yu Maimai found that At the border, the water source is open, and there is no protection around it.

"My lord, it's better to build a small house here as soon as possible, and put this water source in the house. In this way, our water source will not be easily polluted, and it is also easy to manage."

The county magistrate looked at the surrounding situation, and said hesitantly: "Yes, in this way, we can protect our water source, and prevent the people of the Liao Kingdom from playing tricks on us. Now is the time when the two countries are at war. Is it because the people of Liao Kingdom are playing tricks?"

The master's eyes were brighter, and when he saw the medicine powder in Yu Maimai's hand, he asked: "What is it in your hand? What do you mean when you sprinkle it in the water like this? Do you mean that we are now Can’t you continue to drink the water?”

Yu Maimai shook his head: "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. These medicinal powders of mine are used to sterilize and protect the health of the people. You can safely drink this water. But after the plague is over, we should drain the water as soon as possible." It was revised."
