Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Yu Jiusi watched Li Shiyuan's actions silently, and from time to time, following Li Shiyuan's instructions, he took out the necessary items from his medicine box and handed them to him.

Li Shiyuan was concentrating on applying medicine to Xue Mai, muttering, "It looks like this blister has been there for a day, young man, you are really patient."

It is inevitable to touch the burned area during the process of applying the medicine. Xue Mai has always prided himself on being a tough guy, but who would have thought that today when Li Shiyuan was applying the medicine, he kept wanting to pull his hand back.

"Hiss—" He took a breath and whispered to Li Shiyuan: "Doctor Li, this stone powder is even more powerful than fire."

Yu Jiusi wanted to say a few more words to him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them for some reason.

After applying the medicine, Li Shiyuan wrapped another layer of cloth around his palm, and said, whether to praise or tease, "You are smart, but you don't know how to test it with flowers, plants, or trees. You are stupid, but you know how to test it with the palm of your hand, but at least you didn't use the back of your hand."

Xue Mai suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief: "Can flowers, plants and trees also be tried?"

Then why should he suffer this?

Li Shiyuan's face froze, and he coughed lightly, "Could it be that I'm done with my work and didn't tell you?"

Yu Jiusi suddenly felt that the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time had found an outlet, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think..."

Li Shiyuan's scalp tightened, and he pointed at Xue Mai and said, "In the final analysis, it's because this kid is so stubborn that he only wants to complete the task you asked him to do!"

Yu Jiusi stopped thinking.

This is indeed true.

Seeing that Yu Jiusi stopped scolding him, Xue Mai flattered him through the fence: "General, look at how Doctor Li tied my subordinate's hands. Haha - it looks pretty good."

After he said that, he raised his right hand and showed it to Yu Jiusi.

"Don't make small talk." Yu Jiusi glared at him and said to Li Shiyuan, "Please ask Doctor Li to tell him what he needs to pay attention to in the next few days."

Li Shiyuan took two layers of blame on himself and his tone was quite pleasant to hear.

"Lord Shen has specifically explained that burns from lime powder are different from burns from fire, and the medicine used is also different. The ointment just now is only for temporary use. When I go back and look through the medical books and prepare new medicine, General Xue can come and change the medicine."

When Xue Mai heard that he had to come again, he immediately became unwilling.

"I have to go back to the mansion and watch the kiln workers calcine. This minor injury will heal on its own in a few days."

Li Shiyuan sighed and shook his head, "Young man, don't take lime powder lightly. Do you have to make me tell you that it's serious before you're willing to do it?"

He frantically recalled in his mind how lime powder burns were described in "Yaowang Ji".

Xue Mai was still unwilling in his heart, but Yu Jiusi did not give him a chance to refuse and asked directly: "Doctor Li, please tell me."

Li Shiyuan read out the script: "People who are burned by lime powder are at risk of wound infection and suppuration, especially for people like you who are always on the move. If the wound is not treated with medicine in time, it will cause the surrounding skin to ulcerate and the whole body to have a high fever..."

Xue Mai's eyes widened, he looked at his palms and said, "I have suffered many more serious injuries than this, Lang Jiang! Don't listen to Doctor Li."

Yu Jiusi smiled at him and said in a firm voice: "You stay in the village for the next two days. I will send someone to watch over the kiln workers."

Xue Mai was like a bereaved mother, he climbed onto the fence with both hands, "Lang Jiang..."

“Hey——” Yu Jiusi responded in a good-natured voice, and the words behind the smile became even more indifferent: “One call and one extra day.”

Xue Mai shook the fence frantically and exclaimed: "...Doctor Li, why are you still standing there? Go back and make medicine!"

Li Shiyuan also smiled at him like Yu Jiusi and said slowly, "No hurry."

"Why aren't you in a hurry?" He shook the fence until it rustled and fell into dust. He wished he could stick his face in the next moment. "Didn't you say that my hands would rot and I would have a fever? Fever can kill people, Doctor Li, please go quickly!"

Fever can be mild or severe, and it sounds like a minor illness that does not cause any pain, but it is not.

Li Shiyuan has been practicing medicine for many years, but he cannot guarantee that he can reduce the patient's fever. Moreover, most patients do not simply have a fever, but rather a systemic disease caused by other diseases.

Li Shiyuan smiled when he thought of this and nodded silently.

Before Shen Zheng gave him the medical book, he had been looking for a way to stop the fever, but no matter how he tried, he only got one result - he had to treat the disease accordingly to stop the fever.

However, this is not the record in "Yaowangji". It clearly states that no matter what the disease is, there is a way to reduce the fever first.

——Reduce the fever and then treat the disease.

This undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of treatment a lot, but...he has not yet found the two herbs needed to reduce fever.

At some point, the lively and active Xue Mai suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Yu Jiusi seriously.

"General, Captain A heard something in Changnan Prefecture this time, but I don't know if it's true or not. Let me tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Yu Jiusi subconsciously felt that this matter should be related to Governor Lu's movements, but Xue Mai's answer obviously surprised him.

——This matter is related to Governor Lu, but it also seems to be unrelated.

"It was Xingning Prefecture where Governor Lu was." Xue Mai said, "Team Leader A said that when he was guarding the gate of the prefecture, he checked the merchants coming from Xingning Prefecture and saw a man who looked a little strange, so he detained him and got the information after questioning him."

"Xingning Mansion?" Li Shiyuan asked curiously, "Where is Xingning Mansion?"

"It's on the north side of Luzhou Prefecture." Yu Jiusi frowned and looked at Xue Mai: "According to what you said before, Governor Lu is in Xingning Prefecture."

When Li Shiyuan heard the three words "Governor Lu", he became serious, as if he had heard a declaration of war.

He was even more anxious than Yu Jiusi, and asked Xue Mai repeatedly: "What happened to Xingning Prefecture? What happened to Governor Lu?"

Xue Mai didn't know why he suddenly asked Governor Lu, and told the truth: "That person said that Xingning Prefecture has a small epidemic now, but it has not been publicized. Because he doesn't want to be infected, and he has some connections, he left the prefecture early."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Jiusi and Li Shiyuan frowned: "He doesn't know that there is an epidemic in Changnan Prefecture?"

Escape from the epidemic, escape from one epidemic area to another?

This is a bit too outrageous.

Xue Mai scratched his head, puzzled, "That's right, Team Leader A asked the same question. When that person heard that there was also an epidemic in Changnan Prefecture, he was so scared that he wet his pants and cried and shouted that he wanted to leave."

Yu Jiusi frowned and said immediately: "We can't let him go!"

Not only did the man behave strangely, but if it was true as he said, that he came from Xingning Prefecture where there was an epidemic, and if he was really infected with the epidemic, wouldn't Changnan Prefecture be in turmoil again?

"Captain A didn't let him go." Xue Mai said quickly, "They locked him up alone, along with the people who entered the city with him that day. Captain A and several other members of the team also locked themselves up. We found a doctor, but he couldn't find any symptoms."
