The weather had just turned cold when more than a dozen people in the village had fever at the same time, most of them were elderly and children.
Mu Qingcheng went to find the old village chief, followed by Mo Yun and Zi Jin. Before they reached the village chief's house, they met the village chief in the village. She only then learned that a group of people in the village had fallen ill and the village chief was very worried.
There was a barefoot doctor in Daxi Village who knew some herbal medicine, but he was helpless against the patient with fever. The village chief was about to send someone to the town to invite a doctor.
Mu Qingcheng felt something was wrong when she heard it: "Isn't it the flu? I'm afraid the doctors in town won't be able to help. Let's ask Dr. Feng for help!"
In ancient times, there were no antiviral or anti-inflammatory drugs. The common cold could kill people, let alone the flu, which could kill many people if not handled properly.
The village chief was confused: "What is the flu?"
Mu Qingcheng didn't have time to explain and hurriedly asked Mo Yun to invite Feng Zhishang. She also suggested to the village chief that the sick people be gathered together for treatment.
"What? Miss Mu, please don't scare us. Is this a plague?"
"Don't worry, village chief. This isn't a plague, but we can't let our guard down. If we're not careful, it could infect the entire village. So we need to keep everyone in one place to prevent the disease from spreading to others."
When the village chief heard that the virus would infect the entire village, he was terrified, nervous and embarrassed: "But where can we put the people in this freezing weather? There are a few dilapidated houses in the village, but I'm afraid they would freeze to death overnight."
Mu Qingcheng thought about it and agreed: "Let's do this! Sister Su's courtyard is empty now, so let's put the patient there first. When Sister Su comes back, their new house should be ready, so let's move in directly! We won't live in this courtyard anymore."
The village chief said, "But Miss Su has paid three months' rent! She has only lived here for one month, what should she do with the remaining rent?" He had already collected six taels of silver, so who would be willing to return the money?
Mu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Keep it! It will definitely be useful."
The village chief took Mu Qingcheng to the homes of the sick and notified them one by one to send the patients to the courtyard.
The moment she saw the patient, Mu Qingcheng confirmed her guess that the patient's symptoms were fever, cough and asthma.
Mu Qingcheng quietly told the village chief that this was a mutual infection, and it would first infect the elderly and children with the weakest constitutions.
The village chief immediately went to the patients' homes to check, and just as Mu Qingcheng said, the families of the sick had two or three patients with the same symptoms, and they were all the weakest people in the family.
The village chief was now convinced and quickly ordered people to clean up the courtyard. Su Qingyan didn't leave anything behind except a few clothes, which she took with her when she went to the capital. Mu Qingcheng walked around the courtyard and found that except for the food, everything else belonged to the previous owner.
When the families of the sick heard that their patients were going to be taken away, they were terrified and panicked. Some even locked up their children, crying and refusing to let them go.
As soon as these families started crying, they immediately attracted the whole village.
Mu Qingcheng felt something was wrong. This would definitely cause panic in the entire village. However, if she explained to them what the flu and the virus were, she was afraid they would panic even more.
In just a short while, some angry villagers were already clamoring to ask the village chief whether someone had contracted the plague. If there really was a plague, he couldn't hide it from them.
What's worse, some people suggested driving the sick people out of the village.
Mu Qingcheng was extremely anxious and now she had to calm the villagers down.
She thought for a moment and calmly explained to the villagers, "Don't panic, it's really not a plague. Let me explain the whole story."
Mu Qingcheng was best at making up stories: "You all know that my eldest brother is in poor health. He has seen countless doctors and they all said there is no cure. Fortunately, he met a miracle doctor named Feng. This miracle doctor is so skilled that he cured my eldest brother's illness in just one month. Do you think he is a miracle doctor?"
The villagers all listened and nodded, asking her to continue.
Mu Qingcheng lived up to everyone's expectations and continued to make up stories: "This miracle doctor has a very strange temper. He never treats people easily, but once he does, the disease will be cured."
When the villagers heard this, they all started clamoring and said that this was the hidden master.
Seeing that the treatment was already working, Mu Qingcheng continued, "I tried every possible means to invite him to treat everyone. We can't let the miracle doctor go door to door to treat patients! That's why I suggested to the village chief that we gather all the patients together for treatment."
Oh! So that's how it is. Is it really just for the convenience of seeing a doctor?
"Everyone, don't worry. I invited the miracle doctor, so the consultation fee will be paid by our Mu family. Also, the medicine needs to be boiled together, so there is no need to deliver it door to door. We can all gather together and have several people take turns to take care of him. Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
When the villagers heard this, they thought what the girl from the Mu family said made a lot of sense.
At this time, a young woman came running over, holding a boy of five or six years old, crying and shouting.
"Miss Mu, Miss Mu, please save my son! I am willing to send the child to the courtyard. Please save my child quickly."
Mu Qingcheng hurried over and touched the child's forehead. It was burning hot. Then she touched his palm, but it was ice cold. The child had fainted from the fever.
"Then what are you waiting for? Send the child to the courtyard quickly."
The house was ready, and when the villagers heard that they could get free medical treatment and free medicine, they didn't wait any longer and immediately sent their sick children there.
Feng Zhishang heard that someone in the village had fallen ill, and Mu Qingcheng suspected it was the flu. This was the first time he had heard of the term, so he rushed to see what the strange illness was. Unexpectedly, he saw several villagers with fevers.
"That's it?"
Mu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you tell me if it can be cured first?"
Feng Zhishang became angry. He was a doctor from a noble family in the Imperial Hospital, but he couldn't even cure Brother Bai's minor fever. Then all his half-life learning of medicine would be in vain.
While Feng Zhishang was taking everyone's pulse, Mu Qingcheng secretly dissolved the antipyretic medicine in water and fed it to the unconscious child.
All the patients in the village, a total of thirteen people, were sent to the courtyard.
After checking one by one, Feng Zhishang also became nervous. It was just as Mu Qingcheng said, fever, chest tightness, cough, asthma, and pain all over the body. This was an epidemic.
Mu Qingcheng also wrote a children's song to prevent diseases and asked the village chief to read it to everyone. It was the health song that kindergarten children in later generations all knew.
There are thousands of precautions, and mask is the first one.
Health comes first, don’t drink raw water.
If you don't squeeze into the crowd, the virus won't bother you.
Washing your hands is more important than taking tonics.
Ventilation is also important to keep diseases away.
Go out less, stay at home, open windows often, drink more water, and cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
The village chief held a piece of paper and taught over and over again. The first ones to learn were the children who were seven or eight years old.
"Miss Mu, we've learned this health song, but what is a mask?"
Oh! Mu Qingcheng certainly couldn't forget such an important thing. She had already asked the workers in the garment processing factory to start making masks. This one was simple, just use the lining of the clothes. Mu Qingcheng asked for three layers. I don't know if this will work, but anyway, it's better to use it than not to use it.
She immediately put the sample on her face and gave it to Feng Zhishang as well. It looked quite nice, with a mysterious beauty. The other girls were eager to try it on.
"I just heard from a miracle doctor that this disease is transmitted through the air. This means that if you talk to a sick person, you will be infected by them. So, if there is a sick person in the family, the whole family will be infected. People who are strong and healthy are fine, but the weak and sick will definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, the miracle doctor recommends that healthy people quickly wear masks to avoid being infected."
Feng Zhishang heard this but didn't dare to refute it. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine recorded the importance of preventing epidemics, saying, "Those who are not infected have their righteous energy within them, and evil cannot penetrate. They should avoid the poisonous air."
How could ordinary people know this? Mu Qingcheng's nursery rhyme is easy to understand.
Feng Zhishang felt more and more that this little girl was not simple.
