Chapter 16 Another epidemic? Sure enough, it's bad news again)
Chapter 16
The bark of the willow tree contains natural salicin, which is converted into salicylic acid by enzymes after absorption. It is also a natural antipyretic and analgesic.
There are also traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions provided by the system, which are also specially designed to treat typhoid fever.
They walked around the inside and outside of Yang Qian's mansion. Perhaps because of Junzi's reputation, the villagers of Daze Village and the tenants of Yang's mansion obeyed Young Master Yang's orders, and all prevention and control requirements were strictly implemented.
The only thing that made people anxious was the long wait. The sky gradually darkened, and after a period of busyness, everyone calmed down in uneasiness.
Even the fragrant delicacies delivered from the kitchen were tasteless to everyone.
"Sir, are they really going to get better?" Even Tong Zhili, the little white Facebook fan who admired Yang Qian the most, began to feel uneasy in this uncomfortable silence.
Yang Qian was also beating the drum in his heart, but his habitual expressionless face made him look very confident and calm in the eyes of others.
"They should get better..." Yang Qian glanced at the neon flashing task prompt in his mind, and the completion rate was still 0/100%.
Although Yang Qian knew that illnesses come like a mountain and go away like silk threads, Yang Qian himself had no idea how bad the prescriptions and prevention and treatment plans given by the system that could be operated were done.
Because he is really afraid that the system is deliberately causing trouble again...

But seeing the people around him waiting more and more, their expressions became frustrated and anxious, and even his mother sighed in front of her eldest sister's bed. Yang Qian himself felt really at a loss.
"Zhili..." Yang Qian felt that he should do something to relieve his nervousness.
Secondly, it is naturally to appease the people around me who place their hopes on themselves.
"The little man is already full, and I really can't eat anymore."
Zhili, who was secretly happy that the young master did not urge him to eat today, couldn't help but trembled and said subconsciously.
"... Go and get me Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. Sir, I want to study here." Yang Qian shouted angrily.
"Here? Master, if you want to study, I think it would be more convenient to go back to the courtyard."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Yang Qian glared at him, and Zhili was immediately frightened.
After a while, Zhili rushed back with a Jiaowei Qin on his back, Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals in his left hand, and an incense burner in his right hand.
The candlelight swayed slowly in the veil, the sandalwood was elegant, and the sound of the piano was ethereal.
Yang Qian's calm and resonant reading voice echoed in the courtyard...
"...Shifu said: 'I heard that the establishment of a country is that the foundation is big and the end is small, so it can be consolidated.
Therefore, when the emperor established a country, the princes established their families, the ministers set up side chambers, the officials had two clans, the officials had subordinate children, and the common people, workers, and merchants each had their own relatives, and all had their own descendants.
Therefore, the people serve the people without coveting them from above. Now the Jin Dynasty is also the Marquis of Dian, and the country is established. It is already weak, how long can it last?’…”
As the sound of Yang Qian's reading was accompanied by the music of the piano, the frightened servants gradually calmed down.
"I didn't expect that the young master would still be calm and composed under such circumstances, reading the books of sages while holding a candle, which really makes me admire..."
"This is enough to show that the young master treats the plague as if it is nothing. This kind of courage and magnanimity are indeed a true gentleman."
"Yes, the young master has not forgotten to study at this time. This shows that the young master is extremely confident in his own methods and will definitely make those who are treated recover..."
The servants and nurses whispered to each other in low voices, and the big rocks that were gradually rising in their hearts fell to the ground one after another.
At this moment, Uncle Song, the housekeeper who had been busy at the village, also rushed back to the mansion.
Before entering the hospital, I could already hear the sound of reading loudly, and I couldn't help but slow down my steps with a look of appreciation on my face.
At a time when the plague was raging and people were in panic, the young master's calm and unhurried demeanor really made him admire him.
Regardless of whether they understood the "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" that Yang Qian was reading, everyone calmed down and listened to the loud reading sound silently and peacefully.
Mrs. Han stood at the door and looked at her son who was sitting cross-legged not far away, leaning against the light, reciting aloud and swaying freely. She felt extremely happy and satisfied at this moment.
After reading the reminder in his mind that today's reading task was accomplished, Yang Qian put down the book in his hand. At this moment, a tired and weak voice sounded from behind.
"It turns out that the source of this far-reaching saying, 'Forget your worries when you are in trouble, for your worries will surely come to you.' is actually found in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals..."
Yang Qian turned his head in surprise and saw that his brother-in-law, who was supposed to be lying on the bed and sleeping, was standing at the door holding the door trembling slightly.
"Brother-in-law, why are you staying here? Hurry up and lie down..."
"I'm going to lie back now. I was sweating all over just now and felt relaxed all over. I happened to hear my brother-in-law reading "Spring and Autumn" at night..."
Yang Qian had just let his brother-in-law Chen Tai lie down. As soon as he turned around, he saw his mother, Han, helping his eldest sister, Yang Wan, to the door.
"I'm much better, but I'm a little worried, so I came over to see your brother-in-law."
The eldest sister Yang Wan, who looked haggard but was in much better spirits, smiled gratefully at Yang Qian.
My wonderful eyes fell on Chen Tai who was sitting on the couch, and I saw that although my husband was not completely healed, he was already getting better, and I felt a sense of joy about surviving the disaster in my heart.
Seeing my sister and brother-in-law exchanging affectionate glances, I realized that the progress of treating typhoid fever patients had changed from 0% to 1%.
Yang Qian breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was just a point, it meant that there was indeed no problem with the typhoid prevention and treatment methods given by the system.

In the Xingze County government office, the anxious Magistrate Xu sat behind the public case, listening to the reports from the officers and subordinates who had rushed back.
Fever patients have appeared in three villages in Xingze County, and dozens of fever patients have appeared in Jixiangfang in the city, and some patients have died.
Fortunately, after being discovered, all the fever patients were gathered in a hospital outside the city in time, and doctors from the county were sent to treat them. Officers were also assigned to strictly guard them, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
But new patients appear every day, making everyone in Xingze County feel at risk.
Because the government does not allow people to leave the city and flee to other places, every household now stays behind closed doors unless necessary.
Coupled with the fact that county and county officials completely closed all roads, Xingze County, which was originally an important transportation thoroughfare, was empty and withered, almost like a ghost town.
"The County Lord, the County Lord..."
Capt. Zhao from Yingze County rushed into the room in panic, startling the worried Magistrate Xu. "Where is the epidemic again?"
"Your Majesty, the officers sent to investigate near Daze Village in the north reported back that there is also an epidemic in Daze Village."
Magistrate Xu felt a chill in his heart and sat down behind the public case with a bitter look on his face. "Sure enough, it's bad news again..."
Capt. Zhao hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I haven't finished speaking yet. The officer found out that there is an epidemic in Daze Village.
However, in the past few days, there has been no increase in the number of cases, and all those suffering from the epidemic are showing signs of improvement."
"Okay, getting better?!" The county captain and county magistrate who were at the head of Xu County Magistrate couldn't help but exclaimed and stood up.
