A genius girl with her own space
Chapter 74 Epidemic
As Qiqi was thinking, she fell asleep in the hall.
In a dream, a girl and a boy were running in the mountains, pursued by someone. The girl fell, and the boy turned around, picked her up, and dragged her along. The boy casually threw a hidden weapon, which released a cloud of disorienting smoke, instantly disorienting the pursuers. The girl and boy stopped at the edge of a cliff. Just as they were about to rest and slowly descend the cliff, their pursuers arrived, wearing masks and pointing swords at them.
Qiqi couldn't hear what they were saying. She only saw one man draw his bow and shoot at the little girl. The boy, trying to protect her, deflected the arrow with his sword. The girl deflected the second arrow, and the third, unable to dodge, fell on top of her, striking him in the back. Inertia sent both of them plummeting to the bottom of the cliff.
The girl hugged the boy tightly, and they fell into the water. Suddenly, a beam of light came on, covering them. It was the light from the small lucky bag around the girl's neck. The girl remembered that it was the water-repellent beads that saved them.
The girl controlled the water-repellent beads and came to a place where the water flowed slowly. She helped the boy up and walked to a flat surface, put him down, and pulled out the arrow for him. The girl exclaimed that the arrow was poisonous. The girl saw that the boy's eyes were closed and his lips were black. She had to remove the poison.
The girl lay on the boy's back and sucked out the poison bit by bit with her mouth, spitting it out on the ground. The girl herself also showed some signs of poisoning. At this time, many people came over. The boy's family took the boy away, and the girl was taken away by a woman. The girl looked at the woman and fainted.
Qiqi woke up at this moment. She felt herself and found she was not poisoned. The scene in the dream was so clear, but the characters were blurry and unclear. Qiqi didn't know what this dream meant.
Qiqi stood up, walked to the area of spiritual fruit trees, and sat down under the tree to practice.
Qiqi didn't know how many days she had been practicing. She was awakened by the rumbling sound of her stomach. She quickly stood up. Her body was dirty and had a slight smell. Qiqi quickly went to the shower room in the medical room, took a shower and changed her clothes.
I went to see Master and Brother Xie Lei, they were practicing at the waterfall! Qiqi left the space without disturbing them.
Qiqi went downstairs to find the shopkeeper and saw the wet nurse eating at a table downstairs. The table was full of dishes and the wet nurse was eating happily. Qiqi came up to the wet nurse.
"Qiqi? I haven't eaten for a day, so I want more today. Don't laugh at me." The nanny said embarrassedly.
"Nanny, didn't I tell you? Please eat as much as you want."
When the shopkeeper saw Qiqi coming downstairs, he knew that Qiqi had not eaten for several days and must be hungry, so he quickly ordered the chef to cook a few more dishes and bring them up.
Qiqi picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She finished the whole dish in a few bites. After eating several dishes in a row, her stomach felt better and she was no longer so hungry.
The customers in the restaurant stared at Qiqi with wide eyes. Even the wet nurse stopped eating and looked at Qiqi. She must have been hungry for several days. How could she eat up all the food on the table like a starving ghost?
The shopkeeper finally realized what was happening and quickly went to the kitchen to bring out a few more dishes. The nurse also picked up her chopsticks and started eating with Qiqi. If they didn't eat any more, the nurse was afraid that Qiqi would eat it all again.
The customers in the store were also influenced by Qiqi and started eating with big mouthfuls. They were no longer polite and just ate the delicious food with big mouthfuls.
Qiqi saw that the customers in the store were the same as her and smiled secretly.
Qiqi had just finished her meal and went back to her room with her wet nurse to rest when the secret guard brought an urgent report and hurried upstairs and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock three times, Qiqi hurriedly opened the door. "Master, urgent news from the Hidden Gate."
Qiqi took the letter and the secret guard retreated.
Qiqi opened it and saw that many residents in Jiangcheng's Xicheng District were experiencing nausea, vomiting, and high fevers. They had all eaten dead chickens. Qiqi looked at me and clenched her fists. Could it be that fowl plague had spread to humans? Or was it spread by humans?
Qiqi handed the letter to her nurse, who read it. "Qiqi, is this a plague? We need to see a patient before we can tell." Qiqi quickly called the shopkeeper over and ordered the store to stop purchasing live chickens and other meat. Eliminate the source. Qiqi also gave each of them a few masks to wear. Fuxiangju could close the store at any time to monitor the situation.
Qiqi asked the nanny to enter the space, and Qiqi went to take a look. The nanny was worried about Qiqi and refused to agree no matter what she said. Qiqi asked the nanny to go with her to the West City. The West City clinic was now overcrowded, and everyone's face was pale and they were vomiting and had no energy.
Qiqi saw several patients in a row. This was the plague, but it was spread by chickens. People in Jiangcheng raised chickens a lot, and chicken was much cheaper than pork, so many people in Jiangcheng bought it every day.
Qiqi asked the doctor at the clinic if they had reported the case to the authorities. The doctor said, "We don't know what the illness is yet. Even though there are many people suffering from the disease, if we report it to the authorities without finding out what it is, it will cause panic."
"Doctor, what do you think is the disease?" Qiqi asked.
"It looks like a plague to me. I don't know if it was spread by humans to chickens, or by chickens to humans. The doctors in our clinic have all sat together to discuss this. We're going to treat patients as quickly as possible and see if there are no more patients tomorrow. If there are more, we won't report it. If there are more, we'll report it to the authorities."
Qiqi nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything. She went to several other clinics. There were also many patients in the other clinics who came to get Chinese medicine.
Qiqi and her wet nurse returned to Fuxiangju. Qiqi gave the shopkeeper several packets of herbs to prevent the plague. She had them boil a large pot of Chinese medicine and serve a bowl of it to everyone in the shop, including those who dined there, every day as a preventative measure. They weren't forced to drink; it was voluntary. Anyone who drank the medicine was told not to come to the shop the next day, but they could still receive a bowl of the decoction and take it for seven consecutive days.
The shopkeeper took the Chinese medicine and hurried to the kitchen, asking the chef to make a Chinese medicine soup. The Chinese medicine was already prepared before dinner, and the shop assistant carried the soup to the hall, where many customers were waiting for their meals.
Each of the servants held a bowl, and the shopkeeper scooped a bowl for each of them and asked them to drink it in front of the guests. The shopkeeper finally took a bowl and drank it all himself.
Then he looked up at the guests, who in turn looked at the shopkeeper. "Everyone, you've heard that many people in West City are sick, right? I've prepared this Chinese medicine for you, a miracle doctor, to help prevent illness. As our customers, you can take it for free for three consecutive days. We'll make it free for all three days. Anyone who wants to drink it, just bring a bowl and claim it. We won't force you."
Customers came in one after another and drank a bowl each. There were a few who didn't drink. The shopkeeper didn't say anything.
Qiqi got up early in the morning and went to West City with her nurse. Suddenly, the number of patients tripled. The doctors at the clinic panicked and quickly reported the case to the government, who sent a court physician to examine the case. The physician also said it was probably plague.
Qiqi hurried to the government office with her nurse, met the prefect, and presented the princess's token. The prefect quickly saluted Qiqi. Qiqi waved her hand. No need for formalities. Qiqi told the prefect that the plague was in West City. She told him to make arrangements and not allow people from West City to visit East City to prevent more people from contracting the plague.
Qiqi gave the prefect a large amount of herbal medicine to prevent the plague, and asked the prefect's people to set up a big pot in Xicheng to boil the Chinese medicine, and let everyone in Xicheng who was not sick drink a bowl of it.
Qiqi knew that the government office was short of staff, so she told the prefect to let her handle the preparation of the Chinese medicinal soup in Dongcheng. She hoped to curb the illness as quickly as possible. The prefect also reported the case to the court.
Qiqi quickly said goodbye to the prefect and returned to Fuxiangju. She asked the shopkeeper to suspend business and brought out several large pots to boil Chinese medicine soup on the street. She asked the people to take bowls to drink from it and sent a few servants to beat gongs and shout.
West City was set on fire, forbidding anyone from West City to come to East City. Only then did the people of East City start to take it seriously, flocking to the site where the Chinese medicine was being boiled. A line had already formed.
The servants at Fuxiangju were distributing the medicine one spoonful at a time. The common people who had tried the Chinese medicine automatically became managers, telling them to line up properly and avoid crowding. The servants would prepare one pot, serve it out, and then start the next one. The medicine was being prepared faster than it could be distributed, so many people were waiting.
Qiqi wasn't idle either. She and her nurse entered the space to refine pills to control the epidemic. Yun Jizi stopped practicing and joined in the pill-making. Xie Lei also left the space to distribute Chinese herbal soup with the servants.
