Chapter 100: Someone poisoned the city

For two consecutive days, Shu Qing changed two prescriptions based on Xu Rongrong's physical condition.

Xu Rongrong's body temperature also dropped completely after three days.

I have to say, Doctor Shu has been really exhausted these days...

He was willing to help before because Xu Rongrong promised to avenge him.

Throughout his life, it was precisely because he had no power that he brought trouble to his father, wife and children, and was forced to leave his hometown.

The most important official he had ever met in his life was the County Lady Xu Rongrong.

Therefore, whatever Xu Rongrong asked him to do, he would do it. Not to mention that along the way, in addition to saving Luo Yuqi and the people of Yuzhou, he had done good deeds, even if Xu Rongrong asked him to poison someone, he would never refuse!

But now... seeing those struggling and dying people in Yuzhou City, and seeing the miserable state of those who had already died with their bodies festering, was enough to arouse his instinct as a doctor.

During the day, he went back and forth among the critically ill patients, observing their progress and trying every means to save their lives.

In the evening, he had to return to the Luo family's house to take Xu Rongrong's pulse.

His fatigue could be seen from his unshaved face and tangled hair.

Xu Rongrong couldn't bear it any longer: "My body is fine now, you don't have to worry about me. Now that you're back, go back to your room and rest."

Shu Qing frowned and placed his hand on her wrist: "No! If you die, who will avenge me?"

Xu Rongrong: “…” Wen Yao: “…”

Luo Xiaoshi: "..." How come such a good doctor has a mouth?

While Doctor Shu was feeling the patient's pulse, Xu Rongrong noticed that the mud on the soles of his shoes had stained the surface.

She vaguely remembered that Doctor Shu was in the same anxious state when he came back yesterday.

Luo Xiao was a meticulous person. Since she had taken on the responsibility of taking care of Doctor Shu, she would not let him go out wearing yesterday's dirty shoes.

In this case, we can only say that Doctor Shu went to this muddy place for two consecutive days.

Xu Rongrong asked, "Where has Doctor Shu been traveling these past few days? I heard it hasn't rained in Yuzhou City since the flood. Why are there so much mud on the soles of your shoes?"

Shu Qing didn't even raise his head. He naturally didn't care about these little things. "Maybe he stepped on it accidentally while seeing the patient."

Xu Rongrong heard this, and a vague thought arose in her mind. She continued to ask, "Did you go near Yuhe River?"

In today's Yuzhou City, this kind of soil is probably only found on both sides of the Yu River.

Before Shu Qing could respond, Luo Xiao nodded and said, "Miss, you're right. Almost all the families in the south of the city near the Yu River are like the Lin family next door. Their entire families have almost died. The rest are on the verge of death. Doctor Shu has been visiting them every day these days to find medicine to keep them alive!"

After listening to this, Xu Rongrong suddenly stood up.

This actually scared Shu Qing and everyone else.

She looked at Luo Xiao and said, "Do you have any blueprints of Yuzhou City at home? If so, please help me get them."

After saying this, without waiting for Luo Xiao's answer, he quickly walked out the door.

Chu He, who was standing in the corridor with his arms folded, came forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Have you found the former owner of the pharmacy, Mr. Wu? I'd like to ask him for a copy of the pharmacy's sales records these days."

Generally speaking, people who misuse medicines can turn them into poisons. Therefore, in order to avoid after-sales responsibilities, each pharmacy will record the name and address of everyone who buys medicine in a booklet. If an accident happens to someone's home in the future, there will be evidence when the government comes to investigate.

However, apart from the government, it is difficult for others to obtain such booklets.

However, Xu Rongrong couldn't explain why, she always felt that this matter was not difficult for Chu He.

Sure enough, Chu He did not refuse, but asked: "What does the young lady want that thing for?"

Xu Rongrong raised her hand and rubbed her brow: "I want to confirm a guess in my mind."

After arriving in Yuzhou, she first worked day and night to raise medicine for the people, and then she herself fell ill and had a high fever for several days and nights.

Now, her once rosy face had become much thinner, with the faint outline of her bones visible. Chu He watched quietly, his heart aching.

Forget it, just let her do as she pleases.

So, he said, "Wait for me for a moment."

Sure enough, he came back in just a moment.

In his hand was the sales records of the Wu family pharmacy in recent days.

It was a thick stack. Seeing that it was him who wanted to see it, Shopkeeper Wu didn't even ask why and handed it to him with both hands!

Chu He looked at Xu Rongrong: "Everything you want is here."

Xu Rongrong reached out to take it, but Chu He withdrew his hand again.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Chu He looked at her and said, "Let Doctor Shu finish examining your pulse first."

Xu Rongrong had no choice but to turn around and go back to her room.

Chu He followed her in. In the yard, only Mu Ai was left, as if he were a transparent person.

He was a stranger and not Xu Rongrong's retainer, so he could not enter and leave her room at will.

He could only continue to sit there in silence: "My Lord! You must come quickly, Chu He, that brat, really should not be underestimated...and I can't beat him."

……

In the room, Doctor Shu finished taking Xu Rongrong's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief. "The young lady hasn't had a fever all day, and her pulse is stable. There's nothing wrong. There's no need to change the prescription. Just take two more doses of this prescription and you can stop."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "I've already told you, I'm fine now! It's all you guys... who are making a fuss out of nothing and making me so nervous."

Shu Qing disagreed, "Although the fever has subsided, Miss, you must not be careless."

"It's okay, I still have you." Xu Rongrong's eyebrows curved, with a hint of playfulness.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Only Chu He knew that she was pretending like this just to reassure everyone and get him to give her the booklet.

As expected, after Xu Rongrong chatted with others for a few more words, she extended her hand to him and said, "Can you give it to me now?"

Chu He had no choice but to hand over the booklet.

On the table was originally spread the map of Yuzhou found by Luo Xiao, and now there was also a booklet found by Chu He.

Xu Rongrong's slender white fingertips turned the pages one by one, and her expression changed from frowning at the beginning to gradually cheerful at the end.

Chu He knew she must have discovered something, so he asked, "Is there something strange about this epidemic?"

Xu Rongrong nodded and turned to the last page.

Finally, she closed the book:

"Just now I saw that Doctor Shu's shoes were covered in mud. It turned out that he had gone to the banks of the Yu River in the city to visit a seriously ill person. I felt something was wrong."

"Considering that the head of the Luo family also opened a music studio on the banks of the Yuzhou River and died of a sudden illness after the flood, I think this current illness may be related to the Yuzhou River."

"Until Chu He brought the booklet... and compared the sales records of the drugstore owner with the diagrams of Yuzhou City, it was not difficult to find that the closer to Yuhe, the more patients there were."

"So! I have a bold guess. Someone used the water of the Yu River to release a disease-causing poison!"

"There's no epidemic in Yuzhou City!"
