A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 258 Volunteering to Go to the North City

After listening to Uncle Gu's story about how people in the past dealt with cholera, Xia Tian fell silent.

Indeed, when she experienced this as a child, she was still helpless.

That was a place with relatively good medical conditions, let alone the ancient times when medical conditions were backward.

"Uncle Gu, if anyone in the restaurant shows those symptoms, they must be isolated first, and you should try not to have any contact with them."

Xia Tian instructed him, "Take this medicine. If that situation really happens, give him this medicine, one or two pills will do."

Xia Tian took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Uncle Gu.

“Also, if a customer is infected, you can give them one. If the situation is not good, you can close the restaurant first.

It's up to you to decide, but make sure everyone is safe."

"Okay, ma'am." Uncle Gu nodded repeatedly. He also knew the seriousness of the problem.

Xia Tian finished his instructions and, before leaving, he remembered something and gave another instruction, "If there are poor students who cannot afford to eat, charge them a little less money.

Also, please pay more attention to everyone's situation and inform me as soon as possible if anything happens."

After saying this, Uncle Gu remembered everything and went to Linglong Lane.

He repeated what he had told Uncle Gu to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, and then hurried to the Imperial Hospital.

From today on, she will also follow Lord Lin to treat patients.

Lord Lin was naturally happy to see her coming. The Imperial Medical Office was in great need of manpower right now, and with Madam Shen joining them, they would be able to provide treatment faster.

"Mrs. Shen, I have given the medicine you gave me yesterday to the students who were sick. I didn't expect it to be so effective. After just one pill, their condition started to improve."

Lord Lin was very happy. They had originally prepared the medicine according to the prescription and given it to those whose condition was not too serious. The effect was not very obvious, but there were no signs of further deterioration, which was considered good.

But it’s not as effective as Mrs. Shen’s medicine.

"That's good." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

She was also happy to be able to help.

"Mrs. Shen, we have tested your prescription and it is indeed effective, but it will take a few more days for it to heal."

This prescription should indeed be able to cure cholera. If the patient's condition does not worsen after taking it, it means that it is effective. As long as the patient continues to take the prescription, he will recover soon.

The most important thing is to drink it together with the salt and sugar water, so that the effect will be more obvious.

"Really?" Xia Tian asked happily.

The fact that the prescription was useful made her happier than hearing that her medicine could work immediately. After all, leaving the prescription behind was more important.

If cholera occurs again in the future, you can refer to this and the number of deaths will be much less.

"Indeed." Lord Lin smiled and stroked his beard. "Our Imperial Hospital has decided to boil a large amount of medicine according to this prescription and let the people in the north of the city drink it first to control the source."

"That's great." Xia Tian volunteered, "Has anyone been assigned to Chengbei? If not, I can take charge there."

Lord Lin had not expected that Madam Shen would actually ask to go to the worst and most dilapidated place in the north of the city. "Madam Shen, that place has a high concentration of poor people and a mix of people from all walks of life. You should help out in the Imperial Hospital."

Lord Lin would not dare to let Madam Shen, a woman, go to such a dirty and messy place. If something happened, Lord Shen would definitely twist his head off.

"It's okay, Master Lin. I have experience treating the plague in Xiawan Village. Besides, I'm going to save people, not kill them. What's the danger?"

Xia Tian thought that there were probably the most patients there, and that the effect of boiling medicine would be too slow. If she went there, she could secretly add spiritual spring water, which would make the treatment more effective faster.

Also, today is the last day of the Spring Examination. Once those students come out, the situation will be even more chaotic. Don't let those who are well get infected too. They are all pillars of Daqian.

Also, if the plague is not controlled well and students returning home bring the disease back with them, even a god would be troubled.

Lord Lin was somewhat moved by what Xia Tian said. Indeed, if Madam Shen could go, the pressure on his side would be much less.

But she still didn't dare to agree immediately, so she said tactfully, "Mrs. Shen, I'd better talk to Lord Shen about this first. If you go there, I'll have to send someone to protect you."

When Xia Tian heard that Lord Lin had agreed, he naturally agreed.

It would be best if Shen Nian went together. The two of them could work together and go faster.

Lord Lin went to find Shen Nian first.

When Shen Nian heard that Xia Tian was going to the north of the city, he followed Lord Lin to the Imperial Hospital.

"Do you want to go to the north of the city?" Shen Nian asked.

"Well, there are more patients over there. If we can control it well, other areas will also be better." Xia Tian looked at Shen Nian and blinked, "Brother Shen, let's go over there together. You go and protect me."

"Okay." Shen Nian agreed without much thought.

Lord Lin was relieved now. Since Lord Shen was there, he didn't have to worry about Mrs. Shen's safety.

However, the north of the city is quite far, so if you want to treat a patient there, it would be best to live there directly.

Otherwise, running back and forth would be a waste of time.

Xia Tian naturally knew this, so she greeted Lord Lin and asked him to prepare enough medicinal herbs and pack them according to the proportions. After she returned home to pack up, they could set off directly.

After packing up my things and giving some instructions to Ningxiang, I prepared to leave.

"Madam, aren't you going to take us with you?" Ningxue grabbed her.

"Don't go there. There's a serious cholera outbreak there right now. Besides, it's a chaotic place. I don't feel comfortable with you going there."

Xia Tian will explain it to everyone.

They are all little girls. They can't help if they go to such a dirty and messy place. If they are bullied or infected with cholera, it will only cause more trouble.

"No, ma'am, you have to take two people with you." Ningxue held her arm and refused to let go.

How could the master go out to suffer while the servants stay at home and enjoy themselves?

Even if the prince knew about it, he would not agree.

Xia Tian tried to persuade them in every possible way, but they just wouldn't agree.

In the end, there was no choice but to bring Ningxue and Cuiyun with them.

When the two heard that their wives had agreed, they immediately went to pack their clothes happily.

There are also things that may be used.

Xia Tian felt a little headache when she saw those big bags. She was going to save people, not to go on vacation, so why did she carry so many things?

I quickly asked the two to put the useless things back and then went out together.

Mu Feng was still driving the carriage. Shen Nian asked the emperor for a team of about fifty people, and rode on horseback with Xia Tian to the north of the city.

Lord Lin brought her a carriage full of medicine bags.

Someone will deliver the medicine later.

It can be seen how bad the situation in the north of the city is, and the number of infections is increasing.

When she arrived in the north of the city, Xia Tian discovered that the situation there was worse than she had imagined.

Although the Emperor and Lord Lin had arranged for people to isolate patients showing symptoms, most of the patients were still crowded together because there were too many infected people.

Space is limited, and so are the people who can provide care.

Many people were lying on the ground, which was only covered with a layer of straw, and no one cleaned up the vomit in time.

The civilian doctors recruited could only serve as waiters and pour water.

Xia Tian frowned when he saw it.
