Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang scooped a little of the so-called alcohol from the basin, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, frowning slightly, thinking, isn't this still alcohol? It's just a little stronger than before, can it really disinfect?

The young man seemed to sense what Xue Huang was thinking, and said, "The concentration of this wine is too low, and the alcohol content is too low to have much effect. Ask them to send more wine and have the winemaker start brewing again, and make sure to increase the concentration."

Xue Huang turned around and relayed to Lu Wenxuan what the young man had said.

Lu Wenxuan nodded, "No problem, there are six wineries in the city that can supply a large amount of strong liquor."

"The refining here cannot stop for a moment, and the quantity must be increased. The current speed is too slow. I'm afraid that one thousand kilograms of wine can only be refined into a hundred kilograms of liquor. It is impossible to spread it throughout the city every day." Xue Huang said.

"Muhua City has wine trade with Tianqi and Dongchu, so the winery produces a large amount of wine every year. Its inventory should be able to last for six or seven days. By then, new wine will be brewed, which should solve the supply problem."

Xue Huang thought for a moment and said, "General, you can send pigeons to nearby cities to ask for help. Brewing wine also requires a lot of raw materials, otherwise the problem cannot be solved. Now that the plague is spreading in the city, the general must seal the city gates tightly and prohibit the people from leaving. Outsiders must also be prohibited from approaching within ten miles outside the city."

"If we mobilize so many troops, it will surely cause panic among the people, and those who come to support us will probably be afraid, and then the supplies we need may be cut off."

"But this plague is highly contagious. If it is not controlled, the plague will spread and Beiling will be in danger."

Lu Wenxuan had seen too many people die within a few days of falling ill. He knew the danger of this plague, but Muhua City was not like other cities. Any abnormality would attract the attention of other countries. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Temporarily close the east and west gates. The south gate will be used to transport the infected people, and the north gate will be used for communication and transportation. Set up checkpoints outside the city, so that people who come to transport supplies can deliver the goods there and leave. We will send people to welcome them back later."

"Everything will be as the general says." Xue Huang said. "This will reduce the contact. In fact, this virus is everywhere, but it depends on the physical constitution of the person. I wonder if the general has discovered it.

People who practice martial arts are less likely to get sick than ordinary people?"

"That's true, but there are also soldiers infected with the disease in the army. If the plague cannot be cured, Muhua City will be in danger."

Xue Huang couldn't help but think of what the boy had said to her: In an era like this, viruses are the most terrifying weapons in the world, capable of destroying a city in minutes.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of "every minute", she roughly understood that the boy wanted to say that the plague was terrible. Indeed, at this rate, if there is no cure, Muhua City will be finished.

At this time, someone came to report, "General, there was a riot at the city gate. Many people wanted to break out, but were stopped by the city guards."

"Let's go and take a look." Lu Wenxuan hurried towards the city gate.

Xue Huang thought about it and followed.

At this time, countless people gathered at the South Gate. They were not afraid of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers guarding the city, and they pushed out desperately. The soldiers formed a human wall and let the people push and shove them, but they still did not retreat a single step.

The captain of the defending army tried his best to dissuade them, "Everyone, the city is sealed off to protect everyone's safety. Please believe us, there will definitely be a way to treat them."

But at this time, the people were so frightened that they could not listen to anything. A few men even attacked the soldiers guarding the city, but the soldiers just let the people's fists hit their faces without fighting back.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Lu Wenxuan rode up with his troops. He leaped with a spear in hand, directly over the heads of the crowd, and landed on the high platform in front of the city gate. The silver spear in his hand stood up, making a deafening "ding-dong" sound, like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, and the noisy sound soon quieted down.

"It's General Lu!"

"General Lu!"

……

"Everyone!" Lu Wenxuan's loud voice sounded, "There is a plague in Muhua City right now. I know everyone is very scared, but please believe me, I have summoned doctors from all over the city to start developing an antidote, which will definitely keep everyone safe."

"The city is now full of plague. If we stay here any longer, we will surely die. General Lu, let us escape!"

"Yes, yes, let us escape?"

…The crowd was filled with echoes.

"Quiet." Lu Wenxuan said. "This plague is not incurable. If you leave the city now, there will be no hope. I, Lu Wenxuan, guarantee with my life that I have found a prescription to cure the disease. We will also send the method and herbs to everyone. As long as you follow the method in the prescription, it will definitely be cured."

The crowd began to discuss quietly, and everyone began to show hesitation on their faces. Lu Wenxuan had been stationed in Muhua City for several years and was deeply loved by the people, so naturally they all believed what he said.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Lu Wenxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this time, someone in the crowd asked, "Where did you get the prescription? I think you are just lying to us. Someone drank your medicine this morning and died, didn't he?"

"That's right! The medicine is useless after drinking it. And this vinegar, I've never heard of it curing diseases."

"I haven't heard of it either."

After hearing what these people said, the originally quiet people became suspicious again and questioned Lu Wenxuan one after another.

Lu Wenxuan patiently explained: "Everyone, even if it's a common cold, you need to take three or five doses of medicine to get better, let alone such a dangerous plague?"

"I think you just want to trap us here to death. This way the plague can't spread to other people." The man just now said again.

Another person echoed, "General Lu, you can't ignore the people of Muhua City in order to protect the people of another city! We are also the people of Beiling. Can you bear to watch us die?"

A big man began to cry and howl, his face full of grief and anger, as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave, "Yes! Now that the city is sealed off, we are going to be trapped here to death!"

At this moment, a commoner suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and then fell to the ground. Seeing this, everyone retreated.

The man just now shouted again: "Look, this plague is so dangerous, people are dying every day, we will definitely die if we stay here!"

Seeing this, the crowd panicked and began to gather towards the city gate again, trying to break out.

Xue Huang, who was not far away, watched this scene with a frown on her face, her eyes falling on the men who had just spoken. They seemed to be cooperating in acting.

The people became even more agitated, pushing aside the soldiers guarding the city and running straight to the city gate. Some soldiers were pushed down, and before they could get up, they were trampled down by the careless people.
