Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Two more batches of alcohol were completed, and it was dusk again.

Liu Rusi counted all the alcohol produced before asking Chu Shiyu to send people to transport it to the medical tent in the epidemic area for guarding. It has to be used, but precautions should also be taken...

Liu Rusi went straight back to the base, took a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol, and sat at the dining table. However, she still had no appetite and did not eat a single bite of food for a long time.

Chu Shiyu put a handful of green vegetables into her bowl and advised: "Eat a little. If you want to be busy tomorrow, you have to take care of your body."

Liu Rusi looked at him speechlessly. Did he think threats were effective, so he threatened at every turn? !

"I know, just eat slowly." She believed it more than anyone else that the more urgent the time, the more important it is to eat well. Otherwise, why do you think you are mistreating your body and expect it to work at full capacity for you?

Because he ate too slowly, the rule of not talking while eating was relaxed today. Chu Shiyu asked casually, "Are you still going to let Yang Xuefei sleep in the same tent with you tonight?"

"She's empty even if she doesn't sleep, so it doesn't make much difference where she sleeps." Liu Rusi finally recovered and began to eat slowly.

Chu Shiyu stopped asking and ate at a similar frequency.

The third morning in Hemiao Town.

Just like the day before, Liu Rusi led Yang Xuefei to do exercises, wash, change clothes, eat, and then hurried to the epidemic area.

At three quarters past the hour of Mao, except for Doctor Wu who was still recuperating from his illness, the other three doctors were already discussing the matter under the medical tent.

Liu Rusi felt weak. She had deliberately arrived two quarters earlier than yesterday. According to modern time, it was not even six o'clock yet! What time did the doctors get up?

In fact, no one cared about this. She did it secretly on her own, wanting to leave an impression of diligence on the doctors. She did it for no other reason than to see if she could take the opportunity to learn some medical skills from them.

Although Chu Shiyu is watching, it may be difficult for her to find opportunities to contact patients, but everything depends on human effort...

"Good morning, teachers!"

Although she couldn't be seen through the veil, she still had a smile on her face. The first thing she did was to count the alcohol bottles, to see if they were still there and how many had been used.

"These people are so smart! Yesterday, someone found that the disease was not plague and they still treated it. They didn't charge any money for prescribing medicine. So many people came to see the doctor in the afternoon. I'm about to get calluses on my hands from taking pulses!" Li Chunfu complained.

"If you find it's not the plague, don't prescribe any medicine. I only tell you the cause of the disease, but don't prescribe any medicine. You all avoid me." Doctor Ma drank tea with a leisurely look.

"Alas, after searching around, I found that most of the prescriptions are ready-made... Moreover, the doctor in the west of the town is a good-for-nothing! He actually prescribed cold medicine for a person with a cold! If you don't understand, don't read it! What's the difference between prescribing medicine indiscriminately and committing murder for money?!" Li Chunfu cursed.

Liu Rusi was excited when she heard this. Isn't this the opportunity? ! She actually missed it yesterday. Of course, even if she knew she would miss it, she would still choose to make alcohol.

"Teachers, are you going to check the pulses of the townspeople outside today?" Liu Rusi asked.

"Wow, yesterday a sick person was found outside, and three sick people were found among those who came to see him for other diseases. If this had been discovered later, who knows, one person might be cured in the east but would pop up in the west." Li Chunfu sighed.

"How is the epidemic situation so far? How many people are sick and how many have fallen ill?" Chu Shiyu needs to understand the current situation in order to adjust policies in a timely manner.

Doctor Ma reported respectfully: "There are currently 17 patients, three of whom are seriously ill, and 15 are seriously ill."

"It can't be said so simply. Six patients who were sick recovered yesterday, and then six more were added! Eight people who were sick either became ill or recovered, and then seven more were added!" Li Chunfu had a headache.

Chu Shiyu said coldly: "This king does not need to know so much..."

"Wow, you teachers are such great doctors. You have cured so many people! Even though the plague is rampant, the number of people getting sick is getting fewer and fewer!" Liu Rusi praised exaggeratedly.

Li Chunfu glanced at Chu Shiyu with pride, and said modestly, "I can't be called a miracle doctor, but I can come up with a useful prescription as long as the disease is not difficult or complicated."

After a general exchange of information, everyone began to perform their respective duties. Doctor He was responsible for follow-up visits to patients in the epidemic area. The prescriptions were all written by Li Chunfu, and Doctor He only needed to see if there were any major changes in the patient's condition.

Doctor Ma first followed up with those who were sick. This group of people was very critical. The cure rate was the highest during this period, and it was also a period that tested the doctor's pulse-feeling skills.

Li Chunfu had to see patients for the people who "reported themselves" early in the morning. This was the most challenging part of pulse-feeding. The more skilled he was, the more likely he was to not miss anything!

To avoid crowds of people, the town was divided into blocks, and patients stayed for three hours to see the doctor. Each block would notify in advance when they could "report themselves".

Liu Rusi wanted to go with Li Chunfu immediately. As long as Doctor Li felt her pulse and made a diagnosis, she would remember the pulse condition and it would be a great gain of experience points!

"Don't go. The self-reporting regulations were just promulgated yesterday. The number of people who will be sick will be the highest in the first few days." Chu Shiyu's alert line rose again.

"It's okay! It's not easy for people who haven't gotten sick to spread the disease. I'll hide behind anyone who shows symptoms of the plague!"

Liu Rusi carried a cloth bag filled with alcohol and many cotton balls, bypassed Chu Shiyu and tried to catch up with Doctor Li, but then her bag was snatched away by Chu Shiyu...

"You're already wrapped up like this, why are you still hiding? If you can still get sick, then I can only say that you are doomed to suffer this disaster!" Li Chunfu turned his head and said venomously.

"Teacher Li is right!"

After Liu Rusi finished her praise, she turned around and said through gritted teeth: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you want to stop me, we will have to sit at different tables and walk side by side in the future!"

What kind of threat is this? Chu Shiyu was silent for a few breaths and then said, "If you see anyone with symptoms, you must not contact them, otherwise don't enter Hemiao Town tomorrow."

"Hmph! Okay." Liu Rusi agreed and reached out to take the cloth bag.

Chu Shiyu changed his hand and said, "I'll help you carry it."

The first area to be diagnosed was the South District. There was no long queue as imagined. Most people stayed at the doorsteps of their homes, waiting for the "official" to call them. Those who wanted to report themselves went over. There were only ten people wearing masks waiting in the newly built consultation tent.

Liu Rusi moved very quickly. Before Doctor Li sat down, she had already pulled out a cotton ball and dipped it in alcohol while saying to the people in line, "Please stretch out your wrist."

"Which hand?"

Liu Rusi paused. The two hands corresponded to different internal organs. Touching the plague's right hand was most likely, but it was not certain... Her thoughts were like lightning. On the surface, she turned around and asked, "Teacher Li, which hand do you want to touch?"

"you do not know?!"

Li Chunfu's voice was raised high. Madam Jing seemed to be very knowledgeable about everything. Doctor Ma said that she was good at treating external injuries, so he thought that maybe she had a different focus and only knew the basics of internal diseases, so he would not participate in the consultation... Who would have thought that she didn't even know the basics!

Liu Rusi was a little embarrassed, but she told the truth: "I guess it's the right hand, but I'm not sure, so I dare not make a conclusion."

"Both hands!" If it weren't for the mask, Li Chunfu's beard would have been blown up.

Regardless of Doctor Li's attitude, Liu Rusi quickly disinfected both of the man's wrists with cotton balls, then frowned and concentrated, taking the man's pulse with both hands.

"Don't you know how to do it?! What did you find out?" Li Chunfu said impatiently. Such a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wasted his time!

"I haven't felt it out, but this person's face is orange-yellow, so there may be something wrong with his liver or gallbladder..." Liu Rusi guessed.

Li Chunfu glanced at the patient sitting down, calmed down and slightly closed his eyes, felt the pulse with both hands, and then said: "For jaundice, add one more herb to the prescription of C3, decoct and take it in the morning and evening."

The patient stood up as instructed and waited for the medicine boy to find the prescription. The medicine boy found Bingsan from the thick prescription book, copied it down and added the medicine, then handed the copied prescription to the patient.

"If what Doctor Ma said is true, you must be an expert in treating external injuries, and you can make strong liquor to remove poison. That's perfect. You should specialize in treating external injuries in the future. Why do you have to join in the fun here?" Li Chunfu asked curiously.

"Teacher Li, this is disinfectant, it is not something you can eat, and it cannot be called wine!"

Liu Rusi disinfected the second person, felt his pulse, and then smiled and said, "Knowledge is always good, especially medical skills. If you can learn skills, you won't have to watch patients go without medical care in the future."

The South District's medical team was delayed at the beginning for one or two people because Liu Rusi was doing disinfection and taking the pulse, but things soon became smooth.

Liu Rusi disinfected and felt the pulse, Doctor Li diagnosed the patient's condition and prescribed medicine, and the medicine boy went to find the prescription and copied it. Naturally, copying the prescription was not that fast, so they had to wait for the medicine boy.

Don’t ask why you don’t ask more people to copy the prescriptions, because there is only one book on prescriptions.

The medical consultation runs like an assembly line.

Liu Rusi released another patient, and Li Chunfu asked, "Did you see anything?"

"I didn't notice that." Liu Rusi said honestly.

"Coughing accompanied by wheezing is most likely tuberculosis." Li Chunfu said before taking the pulse.

After that, he stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse, asked a few questions, and then repeated the tuberculosis diagnosis and wrote a prescription. While waiting for the prescription to be copied, Li Chunfu said to Liu Rusi: "I hope you can do about 30% of the four methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. You know almost nothing about the rest. To practice medicine, you have to learn pharmacology. What's the use of just feeling the pulse these few days?"

Liu Rusi was not discouraged at all, and smiled and said, "You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to learn things bit by bit. Learn a little in the next few days, and learn more when you have the chance. Read medical books on weekdays, and you will learn it one day."

Li Chunfu shook his head and said nothing. It was not that simple. Their medicine boy was equivalent to the apprentice they chose, and he started to learn from them when he was just over ten years old. If you don't want to be a mediocre doctor who changed his career, you have to study for at least ten years before you can practice medicine on your own. If you want to rely on your own knowledge of plagiarism, you may not be able to get started even if you study for a lifetime.

More than two hours have passed in the South District, yesterday and today, most of those who were willing to "report" their symptoms have been diagnosed, except for one person who was diagnosed with plague. That person's entire household was sealed off, and the rest were fine.

At noon, they waited for a while, and seeing that no one came to see the doctor for a long time, they packed up their stalls and returned to the epidemic area. Although this place was dangerous, it was the base camp of the doctors, and the inn they stayed in was also in the epidemic area.

Liu Rusi was like half of Chu Shiyu to Doctor Li, following him closely as he walked towards the epidemic area, asking some questions she remembered.

At this moment, she really wanted to borrow her son's brain, because she had many questions, but she could only remember less than half of them...

However, Li Chunfu was already very surprised, not because of her memory, but because of her extreme seriousness in wanting to learn. The pharmacist he brought with him was often busy copying prescriptions, so how could he remember any doubts?

Moreover, her willingness to learn from others without hesitation was unprecedented. No matter how many sarcastic remarks were made, she would always listen with humility and only accept the parts that could answer her questions.

When they reached the inn, Chu Shiyu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "Let's go to the small restaurant in front to eat. Several restaurants here have been reserved for people who come here for epidemic prevention. If you don't want to eat what the restaurant cooks, you can also eat the meals prepared there."

Li Chunfu had no objection. He was indeed a little tired of eating in the inn, so he turned and walked there.

Liu Rusi rolled her eyes secretly under her veil, and then asked Doctor Li, "How is Teacher Wu doing now?"

"The symptoms are so weak that they are barely noticeable. If nothing unexpected happens, the disease will not develop." Doctor Wu was diagnosed when his pulse was not obvious. Li Chunfu discovered it almost as soon as the symptoms appeared.

Before entering the restaurant, Liu Rusi's fussy nature broke out again. She patiently urged everyone to change their clothes and disinfect their hands.

The small restaurant was sparsely populated, with only a few people sitting at every other table. This was also Liu Rusi's request.

But because it was booked in full, the shop owners here were not unhappy at all. The money earned was much more than what they could usually earn, so the shop owners were happy to have some free time!

Liu Rusi and the other three did not choose the food from the restaurant. The chef that accompanied Chu Shiyu prepared a table of dishes and placed them here. They were all hot and it would be a shame not to eat them.

Liu Rusi and Chu Shiyu usually don't talk while eating, but Li Chunfu doesn't seem to have this habit. While eating, he said, "It's really comfortable to be a prince. There are people who prepare delicious food anytime and anywhere. I thought the meals prepared by the inn these days were rich enough. Tsk, comparing yourself to others is really annoying..."

Chu Shiyu didn't even raise his eyelids and ate slowly.

Since he was not talking to Liu Rusi, she did not respond and continued to chew slowly.

"Hey! You two are really a perfect match. What kind of fate could bring together such an annoying couple like you?!" Li Chunfu exploded with venom.

Chu Shiyu turned to look at Liu Rusi, and she lowered her eyes slightly. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she raised her eyes and smiled: "If someone chokes while eating and can't speak, what do you think we should do, Teacher Li?"

Li Chunfu had said so many sarcastic things, how could he not hear such obvious sarcasm? Although I didn't know why this troublemaker with an unbelievably good temper suddenly became sarcastic, how could he admit defeat? !

"Put your fist below the bone above the navel and push it upward diagonally. Repeat this several times until the foreign body is expelled." Li Chunfu said with a squint.

Liu Rushen imagined the scene and found that he had made the same mistake again. He underestimated the ancients... He still smiled and said, "This method should be used, but if the rescuer holds his fists behind his back and uses the strength of his arms to perform this method, Teacher Li, do you think it will be more effective?"

Li Chunfu's eyes suddenly became much clearer, and he pursed his lips into a line as he imagined that scene. Then he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and walked behind the medicine boy, as if he was going to try it directly!

"Wait until he swallows it first!"

"puff!!!"

A mouthful of rice scatters everywhere! Each grain is distinct...

"It seems to be really useful!" Li Chunfu said in surprise.

Liu Rusi was dumbfounded, raised her hand to her forehead, and temporarily gave up thinking...

Chu Shiyu's face was as gloomy as steel. After a few breaths of silence, he sighed and said to the store owner, "Prepare food for four people."

Several people stood up and changed tables, but the culprit Li Chunfu didn't care. He asked Liu Rusi with a beaming face: "What is the point of this rescue method?"

Liu Rusi came back to her senses and explained in detail: "Normally, the rescued person should stand up. In addition, the rescue methods for infants, pregnant women and unconscious people are different. For example, infants..."

As he was speaking, Li Chunfu asked the medicine boy to lie down on the spot and asked Liu Rusi to demonstrate what to do for an unconscious person. Seeing that it would take a while for the restaurant to serve the food, Liu Rusi decided to take action.

"You say, I'll do it." Chu Shiyu took her place in two steps.

Liu Rusi was speechless, and then thought, teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, so she gave detailed instructions step by step. Chu Shiyu was also a beginner, and in the process of guiding him, Li Chunfu also learned more details.

After learning the general idea, Li Chunfu suddenly asked, "Can this method also be used on drowning people? Use abdominal pressure to expel the water?"

"There are other methods for drowning and unconscious people. Let me borrow the medicine boy to tell you. However, Mr. Chu, don't really use force later. This method is quick and fierce, and sometimes it will cause sternum fracture. It is a last resort to save lives, and there is no need to demonstrate it to this extent..."

When talking about first aid, we must talk about artificial respiration. When Liu Rusi mentioned that you should cover your lips with your lips, Chu Shiyu and Li Chunfu both looked surprised. Li Chunfu even said bluntly: "This method violates etiquette and may not be used sometimes."

Liu Rusi had been in Daxia for more than eight years, so she naturally understood that for some people, losing their reputation was more terrible than losing their lives. She explained in a loud voice: "This method can be used to find gauze to block the rescue, and it can also protect the rescuer. If there are other people around, you can ask them to rescue. For example, if the unconscious person is a woman, teach the woman to perform it!"

Then she whispered, "If there is no other choice, it must be in a place where no one is around. I think my life is at stake, which is more important than my reputation. If no one sees it, I should keep silent and not say that I used this method..."

Li Chunfu quietly gave a thumbs up and whispered, "Mrs. Liu has a great idea!"
