Brocade clothing

Chapter 53
"What, even corpses may be infected?" The old man's face changed, and he looked at the corpses in disbelief. Some of them had been stored for several days because they were reluctant to bury them.

Chu Qing didn't speak, and walked over quickly, walked to an infected person who had passed out and was panting heavily, squatted down, pulled the infected person's arm out of the old cotton wool, and felt the pulse.Her movements were done in one go, and the old man didn't even have time to stop her.

The people around the thatched house watched this scene in silence, their eyes flickering.

They didn't dare to approach them for fear of being infected, but this little brother, whom they didn't believe at first, actually touched these corpses and infected people without fear.

Chu Qing checked carefully, stood up again, checked the symptoms of the rest of the people, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was relieved to be diagnosed with pneumonic plague.

At least not something else she can't cure.

Chu Qing raised her head, only to realize that everyone was staring at her for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"Little brother, are you...really not afraid of these corpses and sick people?" The old man was speechless, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and his hand on crutches clenched tightly.

"It's not an incurable disease, it's just the plague. I already know about it, but, do you trust me?" Chu Qing said.

A trace of sadness flashed across the old man's expression: "What do you believe, so what if you don't believe? Tomorrow the government will burn the village, and those of us who are alive, dead, sick, and not infected will all die. This little brother, I also It can be seen that you are a warm-hearted person, you shouldn't wade into this muddy water, and now I'm afraid you want to go out, so you can't go out!"

"There are still a few hours before dawn. If you just wait to die like this without doing anything, then there is really no hope; but the matter has not reached the final step, even if you really die in the end, you will have no regrets." Don’t you want to try harder?” Chu Qing stood up and walked in front of the old man. She saw that the village head was the most influential person in this Niwa village. As long as he persuaded the old man, Then the rest of the people must listen to him.

The old man's lips trembled: "Really...can you give it a try?"

Chu Qing smiled reassuringly: "I know the cure for the plague, as long as the village chief trusts me, I promise to cure all the sick people in the village!"

The old man said: "But tomorrow..."

Chu Qing said: "As the old saying goes, 'If you have wine today, you will be drunk today', then we will 'cure today if you are sick', don't care about tomorrow, just focus on the present, what does the village chief think?"

The old man excitedly said: "It's a good 'today's disease is cured today', the old man has lived such a big age, and I don't even have a young man who can see clearly! That's all, let's try again! It won't be worse !"

Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and the people guarding outside the hut were excited by Chu Qing's words!

The already dead heart soared again, looking at the old man excitedly.

"Brother, what do we need to do?" the old man asked.

"These corpses need to be burned, and all the corpses you buried before also need to be burned. Otherwise, these plagues will take root in this Niwa village and will never be eradicated! Only by eliminating the pathogens can the plague be completely cured!" Chu Qing road.

"But..." Everyone hesitated, and burned the body, which was really disrespectful to the dead.

"If you don't burn it, then the living will not be able to survive. Wouldn't your dead relatives be more sad?" Chu Qing followed the temptation to burn the body, and still needs the consent of the family of the deceased.

"Okay! I will be the master today! The living are always more important than the dead! Don't be idle, everyone, lend a hand and help!"

"Wait first!" Chu Qing stopped her: "Mr., are there any herbs in the village?"

"Herbs?" The old man thought about it: "There are some more, which were brought by these two doctors when they came, but unfortunately, the epidemic is still not under control, and even they..."

"Then can you take me to have a look?" Before disposing of the corpses, it is better to give them some preventive medicine soup. If these healthy people also get sick, it will be difficult to convince them.

Fortunately, the two doctors brought herbs that can clear away heat and detoxify, so prevention is no problem.

Chu Qing asked the old man to cook in a big pot, and everyone shared a bowl. After drinking, Chu Qing wrote a prescription and asked the dark guard who came to contact Li Tianxiao outside.

The dark guard tied Fang Zi to the leg of a pigeon he had brought, and flew out.

Chu Qing was relieved and began to burn the corpses in an orderly manner. The buried rotten corpses were also dug out and burned. For a while, the whole Niwa village was full of flames...

"Are these people crazy? They can't be overwhelmed, and they want to burn themselves to death now, right?" The officers and soldiers guarding outside the village looked at the flames and talked a lot.

"Whatever, it's just right to burn it, so it won't be troublesome tomorrow!"

"Too……"

Outside Niwa Village.

Li Tianxiao stood facing the wind, looking at the flame that suddenly rose up, he felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.

"Master, don't worry, Mr. Chu is an auspicious man, a good man with a benevolent heart and virtue! He will be fine!" the secret guard said cautiously.

Li Tianxiao didn't speak. Reflecting the flames, all these days flashed in his mind. About Chu Qing, what he said, including his voice and appearance, all flashed in his mind one by one, making him feel the pain in his heart. The position is both sour and astringent, this strange feeling, at this moment, is expanded without limit by worry.

He suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes: he felt that something was wrong with him, at least his feelings for Chu Qing were not just for appreciation...

Maybe once this matter is over, he really has to go back to the capital first.

……

All the corpses were dug out, disposed of, and burned. It was already late at night. Fortunately, there were many people, and Chu Qing assigned the work to the old man. .

Two new thatched huts were freed up to separate those who were seriously ill and unconscious from those with mild infections.

The medicinal herbs were delivered quickly, and the dark guards asked the officers and soldiers to let them go, and the officers and soldiers who had followed Chu Qing pushed the cart in.

As soon as the herbs arrived, Chu Qing began to make the prescription, and all ten cauldrons were burned.

Immediately, the aroma of medicine was tangy.

The officers and soldiers surrounding the village looked at the hot scene inside and touched their chins: "Could it be... that doctor can really cure this damn plague?" If so, maybe it could really save the lives of the people in this village. It's just that I don't know if the master of the state government will give me a chance, otherwise, when the time comes tomorrow, I'm afraid this little brother will have to work in vain!
At dawn, Chu Qing was drenched in sweat.

"Master Chu, take a rest." A woman brought a bowl of water and handed it to Chu Qing.

"Thank you, Aunt Tian." Chu Qing sipped his drink and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's not going to stop, it's almost dawn, and the people from the state government office are probably coming, I'll go and see them first Has the high fever subsided?"

"Okay, I'll go with the young master!" Aunt Tian wiped the moisture from her eyes. For the past half month, they lived like hell.

This Mr. Chu was the first person who made them feel that there was still hope for life in such a long time. Even if they died in the end, they would have no regrets!

"Oh my god, the temperature has dropped! The high fever is gone! It's gone!" Chu Qing just arrived at the cottage, and rushed out alone, dancing with excitement!

Chu Qing quickly went in to check, and sure enough, in the thatched shed of the mildly infected, a small number of people had subsided their high fever, and their symptoms were significantly relieved. Although not all of them, it at least proved that the medicine Chu Qing prescribed was still effective!

The villagers were encouraged and rushed to tell each other, but suddenly, a cannon was fired.

"Boom!" There was a heavy sound, which made Chu Qing's heart skip a beat.

The people from the government office are here!

The smiles on the faces of the villagers froze, and gradually shrouded in gloom, they all stopped slowly and looked at Chu Qing.

In their eyes, Chu Qing is like a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

They don't want to die yet... If there is no death, maybe it doesn't matter, but now, the plague in their village can be saved and cured, they want to live...

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Cui, come with me and tell the people in the government office!" Chu Qing took a deep breath and looked at the old man, the village chief, Uncle Cui.

Village entrance.

"What are you doing in a daze? The rocket is ready!"

When Chu Qing and Uncle Cui arrived, they heard this sentence.

She looked up and saw a man in official uniform standing not far away, surrounded by many officers and soldiers, lined up in several rows, squatting down, each of them held a bow with a flaming arrow in their hand, as long as the order One shot will shoot at Niwa Village, and in an instant, Niwa Village will be reduced to ashes.

The magistrate of Ouyang County was the executive officer in charge of the burning of the village. He looked at the mud tile village where smoke was rising from the chimney, and asked the people around him with a frown, "What's going on?"

For the past two days, Niwa Village has been lifeless, like an uninhabited village.

At this moment, why is he cheering up when he is about to die?
"Reporting to my lord, last night a boy appeared out of nowhere, brought a servant, and entered the village alone. Later, he sent someone to bring medicinal materials in... The subordinates are not clear about the specific situation." One of the officers and soldiers replied .

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Calling himself a doctor."

"..." County magistrate Ouyang fell silent.

Pian Xu, looking at the lingering smoke, raised his hand, and said coldly: "Burn!"

"Wait!" A sharp voice stopped the magistrate of Ouyang County from moving. He looked up and saw a young man in dirty clothes walking in the breeze among the ruins. He had red lips and white teeth. Sprinkled on his body, covering his whole body, for a moment, people mistakenly believed that it was the exiled immortal who came from somewhere.

The magistrate of Ouyang County was in a daze for a moment, and only when Chu Qing approached did he come back to his senses, what kind of fairy is this, he is just a young man.

"You are the doctor who entered the village last night?" Looking at such a young age, what can you do?
"Yes, I am." Chu Qing stared at Ouyang county magistrate with burning eyes: "Are you the one who ordered the village to be burned this time?"

"Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see your lord?" the officers and soldiers of the government office reprimanded.

"I only kneel to honest officials, why should I kneel to a stupid official who caressing about human life?" Chu Qing retorted unceremoniously.
