Chapter 108 1 Busy until late at night

He Yue turned around and looked at her. "Okay, but you can't go to the north of the city. Go to the medicine shop and prepare the herbs. If you see anyone acting suspiciously, stay away from them and have the yamen runners detain them. If anything happens, have someone notify me."

Seeing his daughter so enthusiastic, County Magistrate Guo didn't want to stop her too much. After hearing He Yue's arrangements, he felt relieved and didn't say anything more.

Guo Yulan said happily, "Don't worry! I will definitely do it well."

After asking Lu He to accompany Guo Yulan well, County Magistrate Guo went to the north of the city with He Yue.

The lights in the north of the city were bright. Some people gathered in front of the yamen runners and the fence, shouting, "Let us out! Why don't you let us go? We don't want to die. We want to see the county magistrate."

County Magistrate Guo got out of the car, stepped forward, and said loudly, "Quiet, everyone, be quiet. I know everyone is very worried and scared. If you don't want to die, you must obey my instructions. Doctor He beside me has prepared medicine that can save everyone. For the safety of yourself and others, I hope you will not run around and do not touch others casually."

Someone asked, "Sir, are you telling the truth? There really is medicine that can save us, but why can't we go home? I was just passing by, and I'm also locked up here?"

He Yue stepped forward and said, "Everyone, don't worry. We're asking you all to stay here because one of you is sick. In order to prevent you from bringing the disease back to your family or others, we have no choice but to ask you to stay. You don't want to harm your family, do you?"

Someone else said, "The sick can stay, but we are not sick, so why should we stay too? Wouldn't that make us sick too?"

"Yeah! If we stay with sick people like them for no reason, wouldn't that harm us?"

He Yue said loudly, "An Jing, you may be fine for now, but do you know that the people you have come into contact with have not come into contact with sick people? Can you guarantee that? For the sake of yourselves and your families, please cooperate. Now we are treating you, but the medicinal materials are provided by County Magistrate Guo, and it is free for everyone. If someone does not listen, hides secretly, or runs away, and is found out later, you will not only go to jail but also pay compensation."

When everyone heard this, they stopped shouting and took the initiative to distance themselves from each other. Not only did they quiet down, but they also stopped gathering together.

County Magistrate Guo nodded and said, "Yue'er is not only an excellent doctor, but also a great master of commanding subordinates."

He Yue smiled modestly. "I have no choice. They forced me to do this. Could you please tell someone to set up a tent in that corner and let all of them line up for the injection?"

County Magistrate Guo said, "Okay, I'll give the order right away. If you need anything else, just let me know."

He Yue smiled and nodded, then she and County Magistrate Guo went their separate ways. Soon the tent was set up, and everyone lined up as He Yue requested.

He Yue had a small curtain made so that people who came for the injection only had to stretch out their arms.

He Yue didn't want to be seen using things that didn't exist in this era. Given He Yue's current identity, they didn't dare to doubt anything she said.

He Yue worked from dusk until late at night before she finally finished giving medicine to everyone.

He Yue was so tired that she couldn't even lift her hands, and she had to throw all the discarded syringes into the space as soon as possible when no one was around.

County Magistrate Guo, holding a bowl of hot tea, asked outside the tent, "Yue'er? Are you done with your work?"

He Yue pulled aside the curtain and came out. "I'm done. As long as they don't run around and those who are seriously ill take their medicine on time, everything will be fine."

County Magistrate Guo handed over the tea and said, "You've worked hard. Have a drink first. It's getting late. Don't go back to the village. I'll have someone take you to the government office to rest!"

He Yue slapped her head and said, "No need. I rented a house near Honghu Academy. My family is there. My mother and the others must be very worried about me. I have to go back and see them."

"Oh, all right then! I'll have someone take you there."

"Okay, thank you sir."

"I've already told you to call me uncle. After we're done with these things, we can have a formal meal together and discuss with your parents about adopting you as their adopted daughter. What do you think?"

He Yue said embarrassedly, "As long as uncle doesn't mind, He Yue would be more than happy to do it."

County Magistrate Guo happily called a yamen runner to send He Yue back. As a county magistrate, he had to return to the yamen after the inspection.

There are also people patrolling the streets at night, not allowing anyone to go out.

Every household had been warned, and everyone knew there was a plague, so they stayed at home and didn't dare go out.

He Yue was not questioned because a yamen runner accompanied her home. When she arrived at the door, she pushed it and knew that they were at home.

He didn't know whether they were asleep or not, and was afraid of disturbing them and others if he knocked on the door, so he asked the bailiff to push him over the wall.

The yamen runners left after helping, and Li Guihua and the other two sat under the eaves worriedly.

Seeing someone on the wall, he was frightened. Dazhuang protected Li Guihua and Xiaozhuang with a wooden stick and said, "No matter who you are, you'd better leave my house quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Li Guihua and the others were sitting there without turning on the lights, so He Yue didn't pay attention when she turned over.

Only after hearing Dazhuang's voice did she answer, "Brother, if you don't want me to come back, then I'll leave."

When Dazhuang and the others heard He Yue's voice, they quickly lit the lamp and went forward. Li Guihua asked worriedly, "Why did you come back so late? And you climbed over the wall. It's so dangerous. Dazhuang, go pick up your sister."

Dazhuang helped He Yue down from the wall and asked, "I thought you were asleep, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I climbed over the wall. Have you been waiting for me to come back?"

Xiao Zhuang said, "That's right. School ended early today. Officials went to the academy and told everyone to go home and not run around. We also heard that people died in the north of the city. They said there was a plague. We wanted to go out and look for you, but the officials wouldn't let us."

He Yue said, "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm going to help rescue people. I'll be back as soon as I have time."

Xiao Zhuang said, "See! I told you that my sister must have gone to rescue someone, and you guys are still worrying about her."

Da Zhuang patted Xiao Zhuang and said, "Why are you worrying so much? I know she went to save someone, but your sister is a human, not a god. We are all family, how can I not worry?"

Xiao Zhuang threw himself into He Yue's arms and said, "Sister, look at him. That's not what I meant!"

He Yue almost lost her balance, Dazhuang hurriedly supported her and said, "Are you okay? Your sister is exhausted after a day of work, why did you hit her so hard?"

Xiao Zhuang and Li Guihua also hurriedly supported He Yue. Xiao Zhuang said guiltily, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't mean it."

He Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, sister knows. Okay, don't worry, I just bumped into the wall. It's late. Let's go to bed first and talk about it after we wake up, okay?"

The three of them knew that He Yue must be very tired, and they felt relieved to see that she was fine.

After sending He Yue into the house, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. He Yue went into the room, closed the door, and entered the space.

Xiao Hei came forward and said, "What have you been doing? Why do you look so tired? Come on, take a hot bath and rest for a while."
