"That's right, the dog that bit Liu Neng died a few days ago!" Someone suddenly shouted from another direction in the crowd.

"The water is coming," Doctor Zhang said, although he was old, his hands were very steady. He trotted over without spilling the water.

Xu Zhao took the water and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

"Please, two young men, help me lift Liu Neng up. Hold him tightly and don't let go, otherwise everyone will be in danger."

Seeing the two strong men holding Liu Neng's arms nod, Xu Zhao removed the cloth stuffed in Liu Neng's mouth.

Without the restraint of the cloth strips, Liu Neng shouted hoarsely: "Water, I want to drink water!"

"Master Quanzhen, back then, after you and your disciple prescribed the medicine, was the patient like this?"

Liu Neng's frantic struggle made the two strong men feel a little tired.

Xu Zhao handed the water to Liu Neng's mouth, but he spat it out as soon as it entered his mouth and couldn't drink it at all.

"That's right!" The Quanzhen Taoist priest was shocked. This girl before him really knew the situation. "The medicine was already boiled, but she couldn't get it into her mouth. This person is sick but can't drink the medicine. How can this disease be cured?"

Xu Zhao stuffed the cloth strip back into Liu Neng's mouth again, signaling the two strong men to put him down.

"Now it's clear that Liu Neng has rabies. Now that he's sick, there's no medicine for him."

In modern times, as long as you haven't developed the disease, a few injections of passive immunization preparations will be enough.

When Old Liu heard Xu Zhao confirm the disease, he exclaimed in shock. After hearing that his youngest son was completely beyond saving, his heart trembled and he fainted on the spot.

"Dad! Doctor Zhang, please save my dad!"

If my brother is really beyond saving, Dad can’t afford to get into any more trouble.

Fortunately, the doctor was right there and gave him acupuncture in time, saving his life.

"Please tell me in detail, young lady." Quan Zhen was really curious about this strange disease.

"As I just said, the origin of this disease is similar to a cold at first, but later on, it can cause fear of water, light, and wind, just like what I just said."

As for the end, there was no need for Xu Zhao to say much, Quanzhen naturally understood.

"There's one more crucial thing right now," Xu Zhao, who always put on a good show, bowed to Shen Yu. "Your Highness, we need to have someone investigate whether there are any other people besides Liu Neng who were bitten by the mad dog. As for the mad dog's body, we need to make sure it's properly handled, preferably burned. This is related to the safety of all the people along the way."

Without proper disinfection measures and fearing that the people would not take it seriously, Xu Zhao could only make the matter sound more serious so that the people would take it to heart.

"By the way, were the four young men hurt by Liu Neng?"

The girl in front of them knew the most about the disease. When the four strong men heard her ask this, their hearts tightened. Could it be that if they were scratched, they would suffer the same fate as this person?

In an instant, the four people felt that they had taken on a hot potato and avoided Liu Neng like the plague.

They all stepped back to check their bodies. After confirming that there were no wounds, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to move forward again.

Fortunately, Liu Neng was tied up tightly and could only roll on the ground, unable to break free.

Smart passers-by have already gone to the county government office to call for help.

The passerby came to the county government office and reported the whole story. The county magistrate originally thought that it was just a minor illness or disaster of ordinary people and was ready to send the passerby away.

The women brought by the prince said that this was a fatal matter, but passers-by saw that the county magistrate did not care about the lives of the people and directly brought up the prince.

When the county magistrate heard that the prince was also there, he almost fell off the chair in the court. He quickly straightened his black hat, checked his clothes, and sent all the servants on duty in the county government to rush to the scene.

Seeing that even the prince was concerned about this matter, the county magistrate naturally could not ignore it. If he could not handle it properly, not only would he lose his official hat, but he might even lose his life.

Shen Yu did not bring anyone with him this time and was about to send a commoner to inform the county magistrate.

"Make way, make way," the yamen runner at the head of the team pushed through the layers of people.

When the county magistrate saw Shen Yu, his legs trembled as he bowed, "Your humble servant Qin Huaisheng pays homage to His Majesty."

This was not the first time he met Shen Yu, but Qin Huaisheng's habit of getting irritated when he saw Shen Yu had never been cured.

"County Magistrate Qin, order your men to investigate whether anyone has been bitten by a mad dog in the past few days. Remember, make sure to inquire thoroughly."

"I obey your orders."

After receiving the order, Qin Huaisheng hurriedly arranged the matter, while he served beside Shen Yu.

"Miss, how should we deal with Liu Neng?"

The Quanzhen Taoist priest couldn't bear to see Liu Neng thrown to the ground like this, and kept muttering, "Wulian Tianzun."

Only then did Qin Huaisheng notice the strange woman standing next to the prince.

"Let his family take him back to a dark, windproof house. Let them spend the last few days together as a family."

"Remember, have the Liu family father and son take precautions and not be hurt by Liu Neng. Also, Liu Neng's excrement must be handled properly. You can use white vinegar, liquor, or garlic juice to clean it."

This is one of the few disinfection methods Xu Zhao can think of.

"After a person dies, all the clothes that came into contact with him are burned. This is a guarantee for everyone."

The county magistrate was also a perceptive man. Seeing that the prince did not speak, he did not dare to speak himself and could only listen to the strange woman's explanation.

Xu Zhao felt that he had explained it clearly, and the rest depended on the luck of these people.

Now the county magistrate has arranged people to inquire in every household, and those who are busy around will naturally rush back home, anxious to ask if their children have been bitten by the mad dog near the tavern. This is a matter of life and death!

There is a teahouse next to Zhang's Medical Clinic. When we were watching the excitement just now, even the second floor of the teahouse was crowded with people. Now that everyone has dispersed, the surrounding area is much more empty.

"Go have some tea and take a break." Shen Yu saw that the corners of Xu Zhao's lips were dry and chapped, and remembered that she had not drunk a sip of water on the whole journey.

In fact, she has nothing to do now, but seeing Shen Yu's sad face, it seems that he also cares about the people in this city.

He immediately agreed to go to the teahouse and wait for the yamen runners to come back and report.

Qin Huaisheng was not blind, so he naturally saw that the prince had a close relationship with this strange woman. However, since she was wearing the same hemp cloth skirt and shirt as the common people in the city, he didn't think she was a lady from a high-class family.

I don't know how this woman won the prince's favor, but this did not stop him from flattering her.

The three of them came to the teahouse next door together. Since they were all distinguished guests, the waiter naturally did not dare to neglect them.

As soon as the three of them entered the teahouse, the waiter came to greet them and led them to a private room on the second floor.

Send the waiter away and go back to prepare tea and snacks.

Qin Huaisheng said to Xu Zhao in a flattering tone, "I wonder who this young lady is?"

Shen Yu glanced at Qin Huaisheng and frowned. He disliked people with this kind of face the most.

Xu Zhao just smiled and said nothing. Did he want her to say that she was not from the future?

The waiter took great pains to bring the three of them to a private room with a very wide view, which was probably the best private room in the teahouse.

Her gaze fell to the window. She had good eyesight and saw a small shop on the street at a glance. After seeing the name of the shop clearly, Xu Zhao's eyebrows raised, and she was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised.
