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

The morning of the fourth day in Hemiao Town.

Liu Rusi moved faster. She even gave up doing morning exercises. After waking up for a moment, she washed and changed her clothes, then hurried out of the tent.

The first thing was to go to the soap shed and pick out two halves of the soap that looked the best. Since she had specifically told them not to remove the bamboo skin, the soap would be easily demoulded after solidifying and shrinking.

Put it upside down on a wooden board and cut it with a kitchen knife, and semicircular thick soap pieces are born.

Put the soap back into the bamboo tube, close the two halves of the bamboo tube, tie a rope, and you can carry a dozen of soaps away.

When she walked to the dining table carrying a bamboo tube of soap, Chu Shiyu was frowning. Sun Zhizhao, who had not seen him for many days because he was managing the affairs of Xingzhou City, was reporting to him the news.

"Prince Kang sent a message saying that he heard that the epidemic in Xingzhou City was spreading and the situation was serious. He thought that Your Highness was too busy to deal with the disaster relief, so he came to help with the relief work. He will probably be in Xingzhou City tomorrow!"

Sun Zhizhao gnashed his teeth and said, "There are only a dozen or so people who have fallen ill so far! How can the situation be so serious? This Prince Kang is clearly trying to steal the credit!"

Chu Shiyu narrowed his phoenix eyes and said coldly: "The early stage of disaster relief is the most urgent. The time to grab the credit has passed. This king is the appointed disaster relief envoy. Even if King Kang comes, he cannot surpass this king."

"Are we just going to watch him come? Originally, all the credit belongs to us, there's no need to give even a little bit to King Kang!" Sun Zhizhao was like a house dog guarding its food, gritting his teeth.

"No, but if he insists on coming, I can't stop him. Keep an eye on the disaster relief silver and grain and don't let him get his hands on it. If he is willing to pay for the disaster relief out of his own pocket, then let him do it." Chu Shiyu said expressionlessly.

Liu Rusi ate her breakfast quickly while receiving the messages in their conversation, but since it was none of her business, she just passed it by.

Feeling almost full, she put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, stood up and said, "I'm full, I'm leaving first, you can come later if you want."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked back to the tent, carried out her medical kit, and hurried out of the camp!

Xue Fei and several maids glanced at Chu Shiyu, then hurriedly followed her, and some guards also hurriedly followed.

Chu Shiyu looked at her back with resentment. He wanted to catch up with her immediately, but Sun Zhizhao had many things to deal with. If he really chased after her without caring about anything, he would definitely be scolded by her, and there might even be a quarrel... It would be better to deal with it quickly and then chase after her...

Then Chu Shiyu suddenly had an idea. Isn’t King Kang coming tomorrow?

Then he curled his lips and smiled faintly, "No matter how much King Kang does, it's just in the name of helping with disaster relief. King Kang's fiefdom is nearby, so he must be familiar with the surrounding businesses. From now on, disaster relief matters can be discussed and resolved with him, as long as the amount is reasonable and the accounts are clear."

"Ah?" Sun Zhizhao was confused. Does this mean the same thing as what he said before?

Let’s not talk about the calculations of Prince Duan and Prince Kang.

When Liu Rusi arrived at the epidemic area, she was finally satisfied. Doctor Ma had just walked into the medical tent, Doctor He was still walking, and Li Chunfu was still yawning in the distance.

"Good morning, teachers!" Liu Rusi greeted them with a smile, even though she was wearing a veil so no one could see her. Then she started looking at the alcohol bottle.

"Is it necessary for you to put on this outfit so early in the morning..." Li Chunfu also admired him very much. This outfit must be so uncomfortable.

“It is better to be safe than sorry. It is better to avoid getting sick than to treat it after you get sick.”

Liu Rusi smiled and took a clean gown prepared in the medical tent and handed it over. She gradually understood why Li Chunfu was so relaxed. It was because he was confident in his medical skills and felt that even if he got sick, he could cure it.

"That's true." Li Chunfu put on his robe and asked the medicine boy behind him to tie the belt for him.

However, none of the three doctors wore masks or veils. A servant brought them steamed buns, soy milk and other breakfast. The three of them sat down to eat while discussing the situation...

Liu Rusi finally realized it. No wonder he was earlier than her. And judging from the dirt on Doctor He's eyes, he probably didn't even wash his face...

But it is impossible for her to not wash up just to come earlier. The best solution is to come over and have breakfast together later. Every moment spent with these capable teachers is a moment of more gain!

"A patient with a serious condition was brought back yesterday. If his condition stabilizes, we can take ** and ** and other heavy medicines today, right? It can cause great damage to the liver." Doctor Ma discussed with Li Chunfu.

"Drink it for two more days and it will be more stable. If it recurs, the lungs will be in even greater danger. If you are not careful, it may be beyond saving." Li Chunfu drank soy milk comfortably.

Doctor He listened, ate his breakfast, and wrote something on the account book beside him.

Liu Rusi glanced at it sharply and saw the number of people cured and sick yesterday. There were still fifteen sick people and ten people with the disease. The situation was a little better than yesterday.

"There was a sick man and a doctor named Jia who fell ill outside yesterday. There should be no more of them outside, right? We can probably handle them in seven or eight days with the people we have on hand. If we wait another three days, it will probably be done." Li Chunfu calculated.

Liu Rusi whispered, "It would be best to wait another ten days. Some cases have an incubation period of up to nine days. We should wait another ten days to prevent the Martian epidemic from returning."

"How do you know about individual cases?" Li Chunfu asked while chewing a bun.

Liu Rusi was stunned. She learned it in school... But she couldn't answer like this: "I read it in a book."

"Which book?" Doctor Ma asked curiously. Although he was well-read, he had read most of the medical books circulating in the world, but none of them recorded her statements.

"... "

"I read a book by a hermit for several years, but before I could fully comprehend it, the hermit passed away with the book."

Liu Rusi was very serious. It was a book that collected the wisdom of countless masters in the world. Unfortunately, she came to this world after only studying for a few years.

Li Chunfu pinched the bun and asked absentmindedly: "An otherworldly master? I know several famous doctors in Daxia, and none of them used the dead qi theory you mentioned to treat injuries. If there is another master, how come he has no reputation at all?"

"Well, maybe you are not from Daxia. I was born in a small village near the southwest border..." Liu Rusi said vaguely.

"Mian Yu? Tatai? The art of poisoning people is very prevalent over there, and it doesn't seem like they can come up with a direct method to save people like this." Doctor Ma had followed Prince Duan to the battlefield in the southwest, and was knowledgeable about both medicine and poison in that area.

"Maybe even farther, farther than thousands of mountains and rivers..."

When Chu Shiyu hurried over, he heard her talking nonsense in a serious tone. As far as he knew, neither Liu Rusi nor Liu Cui had ever been further away than Jinyan City in their entire lives. And foreigners who came across thousands of mountains and rivers must have strange skin and appearance, and it was impossible for them to leave without any trace that even he could not find.

However...combined with the fact that she does not belong to this world, it makes sense. It is not only farther than thousands of mountains and rivers, it is so far that a mortal cannot even get close to it in his entire life.

Finally, Liu Rusi convinced the doctors and taught them how to wash their hands with soap after they finished their breakfast. In fact, it was similar to the alcohol disinfection method she had taught before, which is the seven-step hand washing method.

However, compared to the pungent smell of alcohol, the experience of washing hands with soap is much better.

Liu Rusi also instructed the maids who stayed in the epidemic area to use soap to replace some of the alcohol disinfection work, so that the consumption of alcohol can be greatly reduced. After all, the production cost of alcohol is high and the output is small, and there is also the risk of being spread...

The doctors were assigned the same tasks as yesterday. Li Chunfu was mainly responsible for outpatient consultations, but today he would start from Zhenbei.

Liu Rusi eagerly copied the prescription and felt the patient's pulse, but unfortunately it was the third day and no one was around after an hour...

After sitting for a while and digesting the pulse he had felt today, Liu Rusi suddenly whispered, "Teacher Li, since I have nothing to do now, how about I teach you how to sew and heal your wound?"

Li Chunfu's eyes widened. He knew that Madam Liu had no intention of keeping anything to herself and would tell him directly whatever he asked. However, he did not expect that she would take the initiative to teach him even if he did not ask.

"Why are you teaching me? These... these things that the hermit masters teach should be secrets that are not to be passed on, otherwise why would they only let you understand a little bit and then not let you read it?"

Liu Rusi was speechless for a moment under the veil. She had framed herself?

"The master didn't say that it can't be passed on to others, and I haven't taught anyone else, for fear that someone who doesn't understand might learn it and use it recklessly. I want to teach you now, firstly to repay you for your kindness, and secondly to hope that these methods of healing can be spread and save more people who can be saved."

Li Chunfu couldn't tell what he felt, he just waved his hand and said, "There's no one injured, so there's no way to teach him, right?"

"It's okay. I've asked someone to prepare some fresh pork. All I know is to sew the skin and flesh, and at most some blood vessels. I don't dare touch the internal organs deeper inside."

Liu Rusi signaled Xue Fei next to her to take out the freshly bought pork from the basket.

Li Chunfu was speechless for a long while, then he stood up and said, "It's enough to sew the skin and flesh. The injuries to the lungs are difficult to save. However, the wounded are generally in critical condition. It's better to treat the dying horse as a living horse than to stand by and watch."

Liu Rusi smiled and opened the medical box, took out the instruments from the second layer, and then used a knife to cut a hole in the pig skin.

"Teacher Li must know that the most critical step in treating an injury is to stop the bleeding first..."

She really wanted to teach, so she talked a lot about stopping bleeding. Li Chunfu was almost impatient, so she continued: "The next step is to clean the wound. All kinds of external injuries can be cleaned with soapy water, and then rinsed with light salt water..."

"Why didn't you use the disinfectant you mentioned?" Li Chunfu interrupted her chatter.

Liu Rusi pursed her lips and said, "Because I can't teach you how to make disinfectant water..."

Li Chunfu was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, you will teach me how to make soap and salt water?"

Liu Rusi smiled, then took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Li Chunfu.

He opened it and found not only the recipes for soap and salt water that were incredibly detailed, but also the method for making goat gut, and... two two-foot-long diagrams of the human body, front and back, written in tiny handwriting.

Different from the acupuncture point maps they usually memorized, the map marked many organs, muscles, blood vessels and nerves that they had heard of and had not heard of.

"Did you draw this last night?" Chu Shiyu asked. He didn't see her start writing, so she could only have drawn these two detailed pictures in the big tent. Could she have stayed up all night? !

"No, I started painting on the second night I arrived in Hemiao Town. Originally, I wanted to see if I could get the teachers to teach me medical skills in exchange." Liu Rusi said in a gentle voice.

She didn't expect that Li Chunfu had taught her before she proposed the exchange. She worked harder last night and spent half the night to finish the drawing.

Li Chunfu was speechless for a long while. He looked at the two pictures repeatedly, and his eyes gradually became moist. Before the tears overflowed from his eyes, he raised his head, then folded a few pieces of paper steadily with both hands and put them in his arms, and said in a forced and natural tone: "Continue to teach you how to sew the wound."

Liu Rusi talked incessantly about the techniques and skills of sewing each layer, and while speaking she kept recalling what she had learned in her previous life, hoping to remember more.

So they sewed the small cut on the pork one stitch at a time, until Chu Shiyu reminded them that it was time for lunch, and then Li Chunfu sped up the work of sewing the pork. After all, he knew acupuncture, so his hands were very steady.

After returning to the epidemic area to eat, Li Chunfu wanted to continue talking about the treatment of injuries, but Liu Rusi's speech became rambling since she sat down to eat. Li Chunfu also noticed that she had to swallow the food in her mouth before speaking.

"Tsk, you are too rigid. It's so tiring to live like this." Li Chunfu sighed. Such a person is very stubborn. It's up to others to adapt to her, so he had to eat in silence.

Finally, when Liu Rusi had finished her meal and put down her chopsticks, Li Chunfu started chatting again and asked, "You are willing to teach me so many things, why don't you teach me one thing, disinfectant?"

Liu Rusi lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she slowly said, "This thing is just like the prescription in the hands of a quack doctor. It can be useful but can also cause great harm. It's better not to spread it out in the first place."

"You mean... drinking?" Li Chunfu thought of how she had always emphasized that it couldn't be swallowed.

Liu Rusi nodded slightly and said softly: "It hurts the stomach, liver, brain... almost everything, and can even cause direct poisoning and death. There are already many alcoholics in this world, and there have been many tragedies caused by them."

Chu Shiyu looked at her quietly. There seemed to be no alcoholic close to her in Dongshan Village, so... was it a knot left over from another world?

But because it was useful, she had to do it, but she only believed that she could control the consequences, and... believed that Qin Lie would not betray her will. He knew that if he hadn't pestered her, she would not let him know, although the secret they had obtained together made him very happy.

Li Chunfu did not ask about the production method. It was extremely rare for someone to be so selfless. He asked instead: "Can you pass on what you taught me to others?"

"Anyone who studies medicine can learn... The methods of making soap and catgut are best only taught to virtuous doctors. These two things can be sold for profit, and people without virtue are not worthy of them." Liu Rusi said in a calm voice.

“Hahahaha…” Li Chunfu laughed non-stop, and after a long while he sighed and said, “Your idea is contrary to common sense. People without virtue often make a lot of money, while people with virtue are poor and destitute and can hardly make ends meet.”

"Then let's give it a try and reverse the common sense of this world." Liu Rusi said jokingly.

Her tone was as calm as if she was just saying it casually, but Chu Shiyu's heart began to beat fast. He knew that she would never say anything that went against her true feelings... So was it that she wanted to try, or had wanted to try, to change the common sense of the world?
