Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang stayed in the alcohol refining yard for two full days before she led everyone to refine five to six hundred kilograms of alcohol with a higher concentration.

Fortunately, Hua Yu mobilized the people of Shui Mo Zhai, and many people in the city heard that Xue Huang was making alcohol to drive away the plague, so they volunteered to come and help.

Xue Huang picked out some people who knew martial arts or were physically strong to stay and help, and let the rest go back.

Seeing that all the alcohol had been packed in cans and loaded onto carriages to be transported to various parts of the city, Xue Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Lu, each household should send two kilograms first, and the soldiers in the army should also be included. You are the hope of protecting this city. Send the rest to the outside of the city, and use it to wipe all the camps where the patients are placed two or three times."

"Princess, don't worry. I will do as you tell me." Lu Wenxuan said.

"Remember, this alcohol is easier to ignite than wine, so stay away from fire."

Lu Wenxuan had smelled the refined alcohol in the past two days, which was much stronger than ordinary alcohol, so he was very clear about the consequences if the alcohol caught fire. So he said: "I have already told them, and they will be extra careful."

Hua Yu said, "The vinegar factories in the city are now out of stock. The vinegar has been used up. The alcohol is just in time to make up for it."

"Muhua City is an important military base. The city has always had sufficient food reserves, which is enough for brewing wine." Lu Wenxuan said.

"What's the situation outside the city?" Xue Huang asked.

"The prescription provided by the princess is indeed useful. After taking the medicine, the patients with mild symptoms recovered much longer than the previous patients. This has given many people hope."

Xue Huang nodded, "All herbs that can moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and reduce fever can be used, but the first two prescriptions I wrote are the ones that really have a healing effect, so these herbs are the most important."

Lu Wenxuan glanced around and motioned for her and Hua Yu to step aside to talk.

The three of them came to a secluded place, and Lu Wenxuan frowned and said, "But the medicinal materials in the city can only last for seven days at most. If we don't get supplies after seven days, I'm afraid... I hope the letter we sent can reach Shangyang City safely."

Xue Huang frowned slightly. It took Lu Wenxuan half a day to pry out everything that the Apocalypse spy knew.

The reason why he said the news might not be able to reach Shangyang City was because Shen Congfeng had planted Phantom people at the post station leading to Shangyang City, specifically to monitor the movements of Muhua City.

The reason why Apocalypse's spies were able to recognize Phantom's people was because they were all from the Dark Moon Pavilion. The cooperation three years ago was quietly achieved through the secret sentries here.

The news coming out of Muhua City is bound to fall into Shen Congfeng's hands, and no one can be sure whether he will do anything about it.

Upon learning this, Xue Huang discussed with Lu Wenxuan and sent his more elite personal soldiers in two groups to Shangyang City to deliver the message.

One of the routes will still pass through the post station as a cover to confuse them. Now we can only pray that the other route can arrive at Shangyang City safely.

"There is one more thing," Xue Huang said, "How do we deal with the bodies of those who died of the disease before?"

"I was just about to take people outside the city to burn these bodies." Lu Wenxuan said.

"I'll go with the general." Xue Huang said.

Hua Yu held her back and said, "You've been guarding here for two days and haven't had a good rest. You should go back and get some sleep."

For fear of mistakes in the alcohol extraction process, Xue Huang stayed here the whole time. Even when she was extremely sleepy, she just took a nap leaning against a tree. She would wake up immediately at the slightest movement and never had a good rest at all.

"I'm fine," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Let's go."

Hua Yu knew her temper and knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to go with them.

In the carriage, Xue Huang leaned on her and fell asleep for a while.

Two hours later, they arrived at the camp outside the city.

Lu Wenxuan told everyone to bring their face towels and move alcohol, medicinal materials, food and other things out of the car one by one.

Xue Huang and Hua Yu also got off the carriage and walked towards the camp.

Now patients with different symptoms are divided into three areas, which are separated by some distance.

The doctors are gathered in the middle, close to all three areas, so they can arrive at the first time if any problems arise.

At this time, the doctors and soldiers in the camp were busy, decocting pot after pot of medicine and continuously delivering them to the patients.

In addition, there were several large pots that were constantly boiling hot water, which was used to wash things used by the patients.

Xue Huang asked everyone to deliver the alcohol separately, and first taught the soldiers how to soak a handkerchief in it, wring it dry, and wipe their entire body, and then how to drop the alcohol on a face towel, and then let them teach it to the infected people.

Soon everyone did as they were told, and Xue Huang then had the soldiers sprinkle alcohol around the camp for disinfection.

When the doctors learned that she was Princess Changle and the one who provided the prescription, they all knelt down and bowed. Seeing this, the common people also knelt down on the ground.

People die here every day, but the princess and the general come personally to deliver medicine to them, which shows how much they value them.

Xue Huang was still not used to someone kneeling before her, so she quickly asked everyone to stand up. "Everyone, please stand up. There's no need to be polite at this time."

Lu Wenxuan placed all the medicinal herbs he brought around and asked everyone to get up. Then everyone got up.

The oldest doctor came forward and said to Xue Huang respectfully: "Greetings, Princess."

Lu Wenxuan explained: "This is Doctor Wen, the best doctor in the city. He once studied medicine at Yaoxian Pavilion, the world's number one medical school, and has solved countless difficult and complicated diseases in Muhua City."

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen." Xue Huang said.

“I dare not,” Doctor Wen waved his hands quickly. “I am an old man with no talent. I have been practicing medicine all my life and I consider myself a highly skilled doctor, but I am helpless against this plague. Thanks to the princess’s prescription, I have a direction.”

"In fact, I don't know much about medicine," Xue Huang said, "but I met a miracle doctor when I was traveling before. He told me about this disease and gave me this prescription. I didn't expect that it would come in handy one day."

Doctor Wen nodded. "This plague is very similar to the common cold. The most obvious symptoms of the infected are coughing, fever, and coughing up blood, but their lungs will gradually rot. I have seen this disease in medical books, but at that time there was no record that this disease would turn into a plague and infect others, so this disease was considered a common cold."

"In your opinion, is this prescription really effective?" Xue Huang asked.

Doctor Wen replied: "Princess, please forgive me. This prescription is indeed effective for those with mild symptoms, but it is a drop in the bucket for those with severe symptoms."

"I know, but no matter what, we still have to try our best to save them."

"Curing illnesses and saving lives is our duty. We will never give up on anyone." Doctor Wen said sincerely.

Xue Huang shared with Doctor Wen and others some of the details about the plague that the young man had told her, hoping that it would help them develop new prescriptions.

Afterwards, she came to the big pit where corpses were burned. Hundreds of corpses were piled there, which made people sigh.

Following Lu Wenxuan's order, the soldiers threw the torches in their hands onto the corpses, and the scorching flames began to burn.

The corpses gradually turned into dust, and the thick smoke floated towards the sky in a smooth trajectory, as if carrying countless souls.

In the next few days, Xuehuang often went outside the city to help. She and Doctor Wen and others often discussed the patient's condition and took the people to exercise together.

Sometimes sick children would cry non-stop and she didn’t know how to comfort them, so she had to use her Xuanbing Spell to make it snow, and then she took them to build a snowman.

Perhaps the world of children is innocent to begin with, and the horror of the plague is just a strange word to them, which is not as important as the joy of playing happily in the snow.

Xue Huang stood aside, watching them having fun and smiled slightly.

A woman brought a bowl of tea to Xue Huang, "Princess, please have some tea."

Xue Huang looked at her. She remembered this woman. She was the one who had talked to her while holding her child at the city gate that day. Her child had symptoms of coughing and night sweats, so she was sent here. She followed him and not only took care of her own child, but also helped feed medicine to other children.

"Thank you." Xue Huang said.

"You are so kind, Princess," the woman said quickly, "You are so noble, yet you come here every day to help. We don't know how to repay you."

"Don't even mention repaying anyone. Right now, you just need to protect yourselves so that we can defeat this plague." Xue Huang said.

The woman nodded, "We all listen to the princess."
