Crossing fortune telling: Mental illnesses running in both directions

After carefully examining every detail of the portrait, Shen Zhinian wrote down Lan Peilan's appearance and then returned it to the scholar.

"Please, young master, give the portrait to the city lord and several adults. Once the disease is under control, we will gather all the painters in the city to recreate it."

The scholar naturally nodded quickly. It happened that he also had to rush to the city lord's place. He put away the dried portrait, turned around and said goodbye.

After watching the man leave, Fu Guanci asked, "Aren't we going to capture the stowaway alive?"

He thought that his senior sister just wanted to know the other person's appearance and lock onto him accurately.

Unexpectedly, he asked the scholar to bring a batch of masks to the city lord and a few others, and the whole Jin State was wanted.

Although the robbery involved the country's relief grain, it is indeed worthy of a nationwide wanted notice.

But isn't it useful for people to keep them?

Shen Zhinian tilted his head: "We must capture him alive so that the other party won't notice and fall into our hands."

"The Sun Moon Valley is well-known, and ordinary people will only describe all unusual things as miracles. But there is no guarantee that the stowaways will not find anything unusual. After all, the previous accident was enough to make people alert."

There is no suspicion yet, it is just that the other party mistook them for their kind or executors.

"If we arrest people openly again this time, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy."

Whenever Sun Moon Valley appears, it is accompanied by a stowaway and the loss of connection with the other party's system.

If he didn't know that they were in a group, he would have looked for them one by one. But now that he knew he had the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, shouldn't he hold back? !

Fu Guanci smiled knowingly: "No wonder, it would be better to let the government intervene. At that time, it would provide a location for the experiment, and if Lan Peilan fell into the hands of the government, it would not arouse the suspicion of those pretentious stowaways."

As for the other party's confidence that they will not be caught by the government, well, with them around, how could they possibly escape?

Shen Zhinian responded with an admiring look.

After the chat, Fu Guanci was there to boil the medicine, so there was no need for her to do anything.

Shen Zhinian stood up slowly: "I'll go check on those patients again. When the medicine is ready, have someone bring it over."

Fu Guanci nodded: "Yes."

After being hungry for several days, I finally ate the warm porridge and felt a little more energetic.

But when they put down the bowls in their hands, everyone would occasionally glance at the wooden barrel which contained a lot of rice porridge left.

The government diluted the rice porridge and even added some "ingredients" because it was afraid that it would be taken away from patients who really needed it by people with ulterior motives.

But things are different now. All the gangsters have been locked up, and the rest are aware of the difficulties faced by everyone and are united.

Besides, with the Sun and Moon Valley and the government officials who have temporarily recovered some strength in charge, naturally no one would be so blind as to act rashly.

Therefore, nowadays, food should be as delicious and healthy as possible.

When have some patients whose families are so poor that they can barely make ends meet ever enjoyed these?

Even though they are so greedy, the patients have to follow the doctor's advice. Their bodies that have not eaten for a long time cannot withstand overeating.

Looking away, the group of people's attention shifted elsewhere again.

In order to save space, the reception hall is covered with mats on the floor.

The patient, who had just eaten and drunk his fill, propped himself up with an obedient look on his face, his eyes fixed on the woman in blue.

The girl's pair of fair and delicate hands were resting on the wrist of an old woman in front of her. Her long eyelashes drooped, and a strand of black hair slid down her shoulder, revealing her beautiful and ethereal face.

No one spoke at this moment, for fear of disturbing the doctor.

It was not until the girl stopped feeling the pulse that the young woman beside the old woman swallowed and asked carefully, "Master Shen, my grandma...is she okay?"

"That's natural." Shen Zhinian said soothingly, "Once the first batch of medicine to relieve the condition is prepared, the old man will be able to hold on until the antidote is developed."

"However, I need a few people to cooperate with me now and tell me the symptoms of the disease in more detail."

Hearing the affirmative answer, the young woman almost cried. Both her parents were killed by the plague, and now her grandmother was the only relative she had left.

Knowing the importance of the matter, she wiped away her tears hastily and said in a choked voice: "My parents... should be the first group to show symptoms."

"One day I came back from outside in the heavy rain and started coughing non-stop."

"At first, no one took it seriously. They just thought it was the cold that had entered their bodies. It was normal to have such symptoms after such heavy rain."

"But it became more and more serious later on, and coughing up blood was only considered mild."

"My family started to have fevers one after another. They had the same symptoms as before, but at that time, my father and mother had already started to develop some... some dense red rashes on their bodies and faces. Later, they began to swell up and ooze yellow-green pus when they broke."

"..."

As she recalled, Shen Zhinian carefully took notes: "Cough, fever, loss of appetite, general weakness."

It is impossible for the rain to develop into the plague we have today. After thinking for a while, Shen Zhinian asked again: "What did you eat during that period?"

Prices are rising, we can’t afford to eat, and we have to find ways to survive. The plague has just broken out, and relief food has not yet been delivered.

"For example, do you drink water from the bottom of the well?"

The young woman shook her head. "The wood has been soaked by the heavy rain. There is no energy left to boil water."

"Besides, not every household has a well."

"Some people drink rainwater directly, but I do have a well at home."

"As for what to eat to fill our stomachs, we simply can't afford to buy food. Besides, everyone is busy taking care of themselves, so how can we possibly have any surplus food to sell to others? Only some large teahouses and restaurants sell the food that is about to go bad at a low price."

"It was fine at first, but then the cakes I stockpiled started to get moldy and sour. Could this be the cause?"

At this time, Fu Guanci had someone come over with the medicine. Shen Zhinian took back the pen and paper and replied, "We have to see it ourselves to determine the cause of the disease."

Reaching out to pull the man up, Fu Guanci asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

Shen Zhinian: "I have some guesses. You accompany me to a place."

Food that has gone bad and drinking water that has not been treated at all.

All of them may be the root cause of this plague.

Especially water.

You know, with such a long period of continuous heavy rain, I don't know how many mice and other small animals hiding in the dark died. Not to mention that there were many beggars who died in places without shelter.

Their bodies decayed faster under the influence of rainwater, and either sank into the ground or flowed away with the current.

Then someone drinks it directly...

Fu Guanci didn't ask any more questions: "Okay."
