"Your Majesty, there is nothing special happening in the city. It's just that before the outbreak of the epidemic, a small temple suddenly appeared in this barren desert, and the people always like to go there to worship."

"It is said that there is a living Bodhisattva in the temple who can help people solve their problems. As long as you give him your birth date and eight characters, he will be able to tell you clearly and ensure that you can avoid harm and seek benefits."

"All of a sudden, people from the border town went to him one after another, begging for money, life, and marriage..."

“Even in the army, there were soldiers asking for leave to go and ask for advice.”

"But, for some reason, after the epidemic started, this temple lost its former bustle, and no one knows where the living Bodhisattva has gone, whether he died of the epidemic or disappeared..."

Haoxu scratched his head and didn't take it to heart.

"In the final analysis, he was nothing more than a charlatan who wanted to defraud some money. When the epidemic started, he saw that there was no money to be made, so he ran away in disgrace."

Seeing that Luo Luo seemed very interested in this small temple, Hao Xu hurriedly explained.

"Where is this temple? Ask the imperial physician to go and check it out." General Cui ordered with a little anxiety.

"Now that things have come to this, we can't let go of any clues!"

"Is the temple far from here? Lolo also wants to go and see it." Lolo looked at his second brother and asked pitifully.

"It's just a dilapidated temple, bare and empty. There's nothing to see. You'll find it boring if you go there."

"By the way, I heard that the living Bodhisattva in this temple often goes to the dilapidated temple not far outside the city. I guess he wants to build two more temples and create more ways to make money." Hao Xu couldn't help but chuckle.

Based on his understanding of his sister's personality, the little girl loves to be lively and can't sit still. How could a dilapidated temple make her happy?

A ruined temple outside the city?

Luo Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

Xiao Chenming, who was standing by, saw the bright smile on his face and his eyelids twitched.

The painful experience of killing and plucking chickens came to my mind again.

"Second brother, let's go, Lolo likes the ruined temple the most!" The little guy stepped forward and took Haoxu's arm, with an innocent round face, acting coquettishly and cutely.

"It's getting dark. The border town is not like Kyoto. Here the sun rises late and the sun sets early. We are now in the barren Gobi Desert outside the city. If we don't go back soon, the dust will be everywhere and it will be very troublesome."

Haoxu was worried. His Majesty was here, and his sister was here too, so there must not be any accidents.

"That's fine. Let's go back and see how the doctors are treating the patient. Do they need any help?"

General Cui asked the guards to lead the way and escort His Majesty and the princess back to the general's mansion.

now.

Haoran sat in the makeshift "patient room" with a worried look on his face.

This "patient's quarters" is a simple wooden shed built with wooden boards. It is surrounded by walls to form a relatively independent space to ensure the isolation and recuperation environment of patients. There are different functional areas inside, such as ward area, treatment area, pharmacy area, etc. The layout of each area is reasonable, which is convenient for management and patient treatment.

There are various wards, most of which are single-storey or double-storey buildings with rooms of different sizes to accommodate different numbers of patients.

To prevent the spread of the disease, isolation ditches and isolation belts will be set up around the patient quarters to isolate the disease as best as possible.

This was also done by people arranged by Haoxu to rush out the work.

He still vividly remembers the plague in Ziping County that year. It was his sister who brought the old village chief and temporarily converted the village ancestral hall into a "patient center" where his father and brother treated patients.

Many of the methods used to fight this epidemic are based on the epidemic prevention strategies proposed by my sister in Shiliu Village that year.

And Daddy is still as compassionate as ever. Since the beginning of the epidemic, he has been almost always in the "Patients' Quarters", treating patients.

Several imperial doctors surrounded Haoran and Lin Guangsheng, also with worried looks on their faces.

"It's so strange. I used the best medicine to treat the epidemic, but it not only had no effect, but made the situation worse."

"Me too. I used a golden needle to force the poison out of them, but the needle turned black and the wounds on their bodies became even more festering."

The imperial doctors were extremely confused. In their decades of medical practice, they had never been as helpless as they were at this moment.

"Master Lin, can you see any clues? You are knowledgeable and experienced in the Spiritual Medicine Valley. Do you have any solution to the problem?" An old doctor with gray hair looked at Haoran expectantly.

Even if there is no solution, at least we can find some medicinal herbs to relieve the patient's symptoms.

Haoran shook his head dejectedly. He had never encountered such a difficult symptom.

Everyone discussed until late at night before going to bed exhausted.

However, less than two hours after falling asleep, these white-haired old doctors got up in a hurry, not daring to sleep a moment longer.

Because, every moment and every minute, there are patients dying.

When Luo Luo got up, he saw the old doctors with heavy circles under their eyes, hunched over and heading to the "Patients' Hall".

It seemed that they had aged a few years overnight.

"Mom, make some soup and send it to the old grandfathers!"

Hey! Give them some more exciting stuff, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it and will go to hell directly.

Yang understood instantly, and immediately worked non-stop to make a decoction with the ingredients that Luo Luo gave her, to give to Lin Guangsheng and the other doctors fighting the epidemic on the front line.

After breakfast.

General Cui led half of the guards to escort His Majesty and the princess to the ruined temple.

The rest of the people went to the "Patients' Home" to help.

Haoxu checked Luo Luo's face mask again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, the group went to the ruined temple.

Walking through the urban area, people's lives are still in poverty. The "patient center" is limited in size and cannot accommodate so many patients. Patients who have nowhere to go can only fall on the streets.

His whole body was covered with ulcers, and the imperial physician was unable to take care of him. It was a particularly creepy sight.

Walking further out, I still passed by the towering "mountain of corpses", and today's pile was even higher than yesterday.

The fire in the cremation pit never stopped, burning continuously, but it could not stop the endless stream of corpses.

Everyone felt increasingly heavy in their hearts.

Along the way, the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Everyone remained silent, letting the yellow sand blow in the sky.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." A gust of yellow sand blew by, and the shortest man got a mouthful of sand and began to cough non-stop.

"What's the matter? Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Haoxu's nerves immediately collapsed. The typical symptom of the early stage of the epidemic was coughing!

Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

Xiao Chenming's face was even colder, with deep anxiety and worry in his eyes.

“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”

The little guy couldn't help but cough violently again.
