Chapter 189
Under Wu Youke's strong request, the county magistrate issued orders to the villages.

Inform them to rush to the county seat early tomorrow morning to learn how to prevent plague.

Wu Youke saw that since the county magistrate had issued the order, he felt relieved.I think this matter is stable.

Second day

Wu Youke waited early in the city square, but seeing the sun was rising, only a few dozen people came.And it looks like a completely illiterate peasant.

"Why are there so many people here?" Wu Youke frowned and asked the magistrate, who smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Ambassador Wu, it's the busy season of farming. It's good to have so many people here. There are all townships. You can tell them what you want, and let them go back and convey it when the time comes?"

Wu Youke's face was ugly, but he resisted the attack.

He loudly explained the precautions for rodent control and rodent prevention, and the dozen or so people below casually watched Wu Youke's speech without any reaction.

Seeing that what he said didn't have much effect, Wu Youke cut the long story short, said it simply, then hastily ended the propaganda and bid farewell to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate tried to persuade Wu Youke to stay, and sent Wu Youke away with a smile, then his expression changed when he turned around.If he didn't come from Beijing, he wouldn't even bother to talk to a low-level doctor.

"Teacher, these people don't cooperate at all, what should we do?" Xu Yanru asked Wu Youke depressedly on the way out of the city.

"If they don't cooperate, we will go to various places for free clinics and spread the knowledge of plague prevention by the way."

"It's just the two of us, how long will it take to walk through Datong?"

"We have to do it. We practice medicine not only with benevolence, but also with patience. We can't give up just because the people don't understand. It's normal not to understand. If the people understand, we don't need our propaganda. Besides, it’s impossible for everyone to ignore it.”

Xu Yanru nodded thoughtfully.

The shining point of my teacher is not only his brilliant medical books, but also his fiery heart.

Wu Youke stayed at the post station, got up early every day, went to various townships and villages for free clinics, and spread the knowledge of epidemic prevention and control along the way.

But the effect is really bad, and some people even treat them as liars.

But Wu Youke was not discouraged at all, and continued to practice medicine everywhere.

On this day, he came to a place called Liujia Village, which was very large.But as soon as they entered the village, they found that the village was very quiet.Wu Youke and Xu Yanru looked at each other, and walked slowly towards the village.

It wasn't until they walked for a while that they heard the voice of someone talking, turned around a wall, and finally saw the people in the village, all gathered together.It looks like it should be an ancestral hall. There is a large open space in front of the gate, and there are about a few hundred people, forming a circle.In the center of the circle was a temporary platform, on which a little boy was lying, and an old woman in strange clothes was jumping around him, muttering words.

Wu Youke understood what was going on at a glance. The old woman should be a so-called witch, and the child should be a sick person. Judging from this posture, he should be asking God to heal his illness.

Wu Youke shook his head secretly, separated from the crowd and rushed forward, intending to take a closer look at the little boy's condition.As a result, when he got closer, the little boy lying on the table had his eyes closed and his face was flushed.Wu Youke leaned over, reached out to touch the little boy's body, and found that the little boy's head was terribly hot.

All the people stared at Wu Youke in a daze, not knowing where this person came from and what he was doing here.

Until the sorceress on the stage let out a sharp cry.

"Who are you? Who told you to move!? You actually interrupted the spell!"

It was only when the common people came to their senses that they started pulling at Wu Youke.Seeing that his teacher was going to suffer, Xu Yanru quickly stopped in front of him and everyone said:
"Don't do it! My teacher is an imperial doctor from the capital!"

"Your mother's doctor! Kill you!"

The people vented their anger on the two of them, and beat them up.Or the head of the village came back and hurriedly shouted:
"Stop it all!"

The common people were fighting so well that they were reluctant to stop for a while.Seeing this, the chief rushed forward to stop him.

"stop fighting!"

Everyone stopped when they saw Li Chang approaching him.

The head of the village walked up to the two of them, stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Yanru up.Fortunately, Xu Yanru protected Wu Youke, Wu Youke didn't have any injuries on his body, but he himself was miserable, with footprints all over his body.

"What did you just say? Where are you from?"

"We are from the capital. My teacher is the ambassador of the Imperial Hospital! Come here to practice medicine!" Xu Yanru said angrily, wiping the blood from his nose.

The head of the village thumped in his heart when he heard this, if it was true, wouldn't they have beaten the imperial court officials?

"Is there any proof?"

Wu Youke silently took out the official seal from the box, and handed it to the chief.The chief didn't even look at it, so he knew it couldn't be fake.In a panic, he went to help Xu Yanru remove the footprints on his body.

"Two gentlemen, what are you doing? What's going on?"

What are you doing here to touch our child's head?Didn't you see that the sorceress was casting a spell?

"What's wrong with this child?" Wu Youke asked.

"The child fell into the water the day before yesterday. He was frightened and had a fever all the time. He passed out just now. The witch said that the child's soul was lost in fright, and a ceremony was needed to call the child's soul back. You are here while casting a spell. "

"He interrupted the spellcasting! Scared the child's soul away! The child will never recover, and even if he doesn't die, he will be a fool!" The sorceress shouted angrily at Wu Youke.

"Absurd! Falling into the water is caused by the wind and cold. The child's body is weak, and only when he is exposed to the cold will he have a fever. What does it have to do with the soul?" Wu Youke said to the sorceress sternly.

"You said yes? The child's soul came back, and you scared it away again! You said no, can you wake the child up?"

"Exactly! Li Lao, I can't believe him! Where did the liar come from? How could the imperial doctor from the capital come to us? I heard that recently there were two people from other villages claiming to see a doctor for free! It must be them!"

"Old Li, turn them away to see the officials!"

"Fight first and then talk!"

"fraud!"

For a while, the crowd was excited. In their cognition, the people in the capital were all high-ranking officials around the emperor. How could they come to this remote place like theirs.He didn't even have a sedan chair or anything like that, and he wasn't well dressed.

"I can save him!" Wu Youke said loudly seeing that everyone was clamoring to send him to the officer.He is not afraid of meeting the officials, but the child's condition is not optimistic, and if it is delayed any longer, it may really be impossible to cure it.

"Can you really cure the child?"

"Old Li! If you let him treat the child, I don't care about it. But you can't lose a penny!" Seeing the situation, the sorceress said angrily to the chief.She is the most famous witch in a radius of dozens of miles. If someone smashes the signboard, no one will invite her in the future.

"This"

"Since the so-called spellcasting has been interrupted by me now. If the child can't be cured, it's not too late for you to send me to see the official. If it is cured, I won't charge any money."

"Then it's settled." The village chief made up his mind, stopped the restlessness of the people, and decided to let Wu Ke try again.

After Wu Youke obtained the permission of the head of the village, he hurried to the child's side and touched the child's forehead again, it was terribly hot.He asked someone to find a bowl, took out ibuprofen from the medicine box and poured some into it, then took out a grain of amoxicillin to dissolve the powder, opened the child's mouth and poured it down.

"All right."

"Is this the end?" Li Chang's eyes widened.

"Yes. The child's fever will subside within two quarters of an hour at the most."

"Hahaha~" The sorceress on the side laughed exaggeratedly. "Where did the fake doctor come from, and also said that he can cure diseases! Drinking saliva will heal? I think he is a big liar!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! It will be clear in two quarters of an hour."

At this time, the head of the village was also a little disbelieving, and turned his attention to the witch.

"Don't look at me, since the child drank his medicine, it has nothing to do with me whether he lives or dies!"

Li Chang stomped his feet angrily.I made up my mind that if something happened to the child, it would prove that the two of them must be liars, and they must be beaten to death before they are sent to the government!

The village chief was anxious and the villagers were anxious, but Wu Youke was very calm.

He is very familiar with the efficacy of ibuprofen, and the fever-reducing effect is first-class.The main reason is that the delay in the middle was too long, otherwise a little Fenghan would be able to take a few medicines and take them.

Time passed bit by bit, and the little boy's parents touched his head from time to time.

"It doesn't seem so hot anymore?"

"hold on."

Waited a while longer.

"It's really not hot anymore!"

"hold on!"

After a while, the little boy broke out in a sweat.And the head felt back to normal.

"Don't burn it, don't burn it! It works!" The little boy's father exclaimed happily.

The sorceress on the side couldn't believe it, but she still said in a strange way:
"I've said it all, the child's soul has been frightened out. What's the use if the fever subsides. Isn't it still unable to wake up?"

As soon as the words fell, the little boy lying in his mother's arms moved, opened his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he cried out weakly.

"Mom, I'm thirsty."
