The young man beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Five days ago, Liaocheng was suddenly sealed off. They said there was an epidemic in the city. Things from outside the city could be sent in, but people could not go in. People in the city had to pick them up at the city gate. Things and people in the city could not leave."

The young man wiped his tears and said regretfully, "The price of vegetables sent to the city these days is 20% higher than before. We have a lot of vegetables stored in our kiln, so I sent some vegetables a few times. But the child suddenly got a fever the night before yesterday, and then started to have a rash."

"There is a notice at the city gate that if there are patients with fever outside the city, they should be sent to the city. The child is still so young, we don't want to send him to the city alone, but the villagers know that our little Shitou has a fever, and they won't let us stay in the village anymore."

Cang Shu couldn't help but ask: "Where can you go now?"

The young man whispered, "My elder brother is making a living in a town thirty miles away. We want to go to him and find a doctor for Little Stone. Maybe we can save him."

Wang Xin's eyebrows dimmed and he said, "Since we know it's an epidemic, it must be contagious. You took the children to find your eldest brother, aren't you afraid of infecting his family as well? And along the way, everyone you came into contact with may have been infected, and if they came into contact with others, the epidemic would spread. Have you thought about this consequence?"

The young man was startled and murmured in a daze: "No, no way? I, I just want to find a doctor to treat Xiao Shitou, no, I didn't think so much..." As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.

The old woman at the side was stunned and asked, "Did my little Shitou really get smallpox? Can he really infect his uncle with the disease if he goes to see him?"

Wang Xin nodded affirmatively.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, looking at a loss.

The young woman next to her was so sad that she burst into tears.

"My poor little stone..."

The young man was awakened by the young woman's crying. He suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Xin and begged, "Please, little doctor Wang, save my son!"

Wang Xin was willing to lend a helping hand because of his kind reminder just now.

But she was going to Liaocheng and couldn't stay here alone for Xiao Shitou.

When they heard Wang Xin say that she came to Liaocheng because of the smallpox epidemic, and that if possible, they could give Xiao Shitou to her and she would arrange someone to take care of him, they fell silent again.

Looking at Xiao Shitou, whose breathing had become a little calmer after being washed by Wang Xin, Shitou's mother finally gritted her teeth and decided to take Xiao Shitou with them into the city.

This is the best way.

They couldn't go to his uncle's house and harm the family knowing that their child had smallpox.

When you are in trouble, you want to seek refuge there. It is because you have a good relationship with them and you go there knowing that there is a great chance that they will be taken in.

But if you know that this trip will bring disaster and you still insist on going, that is not fair.

Previously, they just didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.

Soon, Xiao Shitou was carried by his mother to Wang Xin's carriage.

Wang Xin and his party continued on their journey, and a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Liaocheng.

The main gate of Liaocheng was closed, and only a small door on the left was open for entry and exit.

There were two yamen runners with knives guarding the door.

But on the other side of the small door, there were quite a few yamen runners trying to prevent the people inside from escaping.

Seeing the slowly approaching carriage, the yamen runner gripped the knife handle cautiously.

Cang Mei stepped forward to negotiate: "Brother, my master is Wang Xiao, the divine doctor from Changshou Village. He passed by here and heard that an epidemic broke out in Liaocheng, so he came here to do his part." As he spoke, he handed over a business card.

Feng Ling had this name badge custom-made for her, saying it would be more convenient when she encountered problems when going out.

On the light blue plain paper with gold-embossed edges, the ink-black hairpin-flowered small regular script is vigorous and powerful.

All of them show refinement and care.

The officer glanced at them in surprise, and looked especially at Wang Xin's baby face.

Liaocheng is in great shortage of doctors now, especially doctors with excellent medical skills.

No one should come to Liaocheng to die under a false name at this time.

The business card was soon delivered to the desk of Li Jinxian, the magistrate of Liaocheng.

Wang Xin now has a special status and is the future princess-to-be.

Li Zhizhou did not dare to delay and went to the city gate in person.

Li Zhizhou is a fat old man with a round face and round eyes, and his eyes are shrewd.

As soon as he saw Wang Xin, he forced a smile and bowed to greet him: "This subordinate greets the little divine doctor Wang. The little divine doctor Wang came to Liaocheng at this time, which shows his noble character. This subordinate, on behalf of the people of Liaocheng, would like to thank the little divine doctor Wang for his righteousness."

Wang Xin smiled slightly, "Master Li, you are too kind! I just happened to pass by, it was just a coincidence. Since I have come across it, I can't just turn a blind eye to it."

The epidemic was urgent, and Wang Xin didn't want to say more. He directly interrupted Li Zhizhou's greetings and asked directly: "Lord Li, the epidemic is urgent. Let's go into the city first and talk on the way, okay?"

Lord Li originally wanted to persuade Wang Xin that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and advised her to think twice before acting.

After all, smallpox is not a joke, it can be fatal!

I heard that Prince Ding values ​​the future Princess Ding very much. If something happens to her, he cannot bear the responsibility.

Once they entered the city, under the watchful eyes of the public, it would be difficult for him to let them out for personal reasons.

Wang Xin saw his hesitation, and after a little thought, he guessed his concerns.

Without further hesitation, he walked towards the city first, and as he walked, he turned his head and said to Li Zhizhou: "Here are some prescriptions for curing smallpox. Please ask the doctors in the city to look at them and treat the disease as soon as possible."

Li Zhizhou was shocked. Although the epidemic had broken out for several days, the doctors in Liaocheng had been arguing about measles, chickenpox, scarlet fever, and smallpox for several days. It was only confirmed to be smallpox an hour ago. The notice at the city gate had not been posted yet, and this little doctor Wang had not entered the city. How could he be sure that the epidemic was smallpox?

Seeing that they had already entered the city, he could only sigh with mixed feelings and quickly walk a few steps to catch up.

Along the way, Wang Xin has learned about the current situation in Liaocheng from Li Zhizhou.

There are now more than 12,000 people in Liaocheng who have fallen ill and are under quarantine. He has requisitioned more than a dozen large houses in the south of the city to house the sick. Later, those who could not be accommodated temporarily lived in makeshift tents.

However, there were still some wealthy families in the city. When someone in the family fell ill, especially the women, they were unwilling to share a room with others, so they isolated themselves in the room and asked the doctors in the city to come and treat them.

But there were only eighteen doctors in Liaocheng, and seventeen of them were requisitioned by Li Zhizhou to the quarantine area, leaving only one doctor with average medical skills to provide support outside, but he was simply unable to handle the work.

Wang Xin sighed inwardly. In the face of an epidemic, we still have to observe etiquette and rules. Isn't that courting death?

The virus doesn't recognize whether you are a rich lady or a poor commoner. It will pounce on anyone it sees. Whether you will be infected or not depends entirely on your resistance.

But this is the current social trend.

Everyone has their own destiny and it cannot be forced.

As they were talking, the group turned many corners, passed through four intersections, and arrived in front of a yard surrounded by a fence.

When he arrived there, Wang Xin finally understood what Li Zhizhou meant by requisitioning more than a dozen large mansions.

To be precise, Li Zhizhou requisitioned the courtyards of an entire street.

The original residents here were all wealthy businessmen, so each house was built very large and each yard could accommodate many people.

Moreover, the entire street was surrounded by soldiers loaned out by Li Zhizhou.

In today's society, this is considered an effective measure!
