Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, then tilted her head and said to Meng Yuan: "Go home immediately and explain the situation to Boss Qi. From yesterday evening, everyone who has been in contact with Xuebao will be quarantined and will not be allowed to have contact with anyone else."
Meng Yuan asked: "What about you?"
"I will stay here to guard the people in Changping Lane and prevent them from running around. I will also investigate the cause of the disease. If you find Divine Doctor Zhang, bring him over as soon as possible."
"No." Meng Yuan rejected her proposal, "I'll stay and you go home."
Shen Qingqing understood his worries, held his hand, and softened her voice: "Did you forget that I still have a detoxification pill in my hand? If you are really infected, just take oral medicine, so just do as I say
do it."
His voice is soft, but his attitude is extremely tough.
Meng Yuan understood her temper and said helplessly: "Then do as you say. Remember to keep a good distance from them. I will come back as soon as possible to help."
Shen Qingqing turned around and glanced at the wild vegetables thrown to the ground by Shu Yiyan with her peripheral vision, and added: "Bring more food when you come."
Meng Yuan nodded, squeezed her palm, "Wait for me."
After saying that, he got on his horse, raised his whip and left.
Shen Qingqing put on a mask and pushed open the old wooden door.
When Shu Yiyan saw that she was about to come in, he turned around and ran away. Shen Qingqing stopped him before closing the door, "Shu Yiyan, do you want to live? If you want to live, just follow my arrangements."
After closing the door for a moment, Shu Yiyan raised his head, with Fenqi Ji hidden in his clear eyes, "Are you a doctor?"
"No, but I have a friend who is a miracle doctor and he can save you."
The skinny boy stood at the door for a long time, and finally said carefully: "What do you need me to do?"
Shen Qingqing didn't talk nonsense to him and said straightforwardly: "Are you familiar with Changping Alley? Do you know who has the final say here?"
Shu Yiyan shook his head, "The people here are homeless poor people, and no one cares about them."
This is troublesome.
Shen Qingqing sighed in annoyance, "Well, let's go out to find people together. I have something to ask everyone."
"Okay." Shu Yiyan responded obediently, opened the door of the hall, and walked out slowly.
As he got closer, Shen Qingqing noticed that his face was very red at the moment, like steaming lava, and it looked very hot. This symptom was exactly what Xiao Xuebao was experiencing.
Shen Qingqing frowned, with a worried look on his face, "Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I will feel the same in the past."
Shu Yiyan rubbed his aching heart and deliberately kept a distance from her, "It's okay, I can still hold on. The people here don't like strangers very much. If my sister...aunt goes by herself, there's no way they won't come out."
The two of them left the yard one after another with a distance of three to four meters. Shu Yiyan walked in front and knocked on the door of the neighbor on the left. After knocking for a long time, someone inside answered.
What came out was a middle-aged woman holding a wooden stick. Like Shu Yiyan, her face was also very red.
Shen Qingqing explained the purpose of his visit to her, but before he could finish speaking, the woman suddenly knelt down and said, "Madam, please show mercy and save me and Chao'er. Chao'er is only six years old this year and has never eaten anything since he was born.
After a full meal, we can’t just die like this!”
Shen Qingqing quickly advised: "Auntie, please get up first and listen to what I have to say."
The woman refused to listen and continued to kneel on the ground and kowtow. Finally, it was Shu Yiyan who came forward to persuade her to get up.
Shen Qingqing chatted with the woman for a few words, and learned from the woman's words that the people living in Changping Lane were originally people from several villages on the southern border of Daqi. Unable to bear the intrusion of the war, they voluntarily moved north. Unfortunately, they encountered bandits on the way to escape.
, most of them were killed or injured, and those who survived successfully entered Xiangcheng.
Unexpectedly, the officials in Xiangcheng didn't care about their life and death at all, and just threw the people into Changping Lane and ignored them. Their people were not well-off, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so their life would naturally become more miserable.
Over the years, relying solely on the wasteland in front of the alley, digging wild vegetables, and begging to survive, it is common to die of starvation and illness. At the beginning, there were more than a hundred people, but now only more than fifty people are left.
In this poor and desolate area, getting sick means death. This is why the woman was so excited when she saw Shen Qingqing.
After inquiring about the basic information, Shen Qingqing brought up the issues related to the disease again, which was just the beginning. The originally dead alley suddenly became noisy.
Two men carried gongs and knocked them all the way, shouting: "Come out, everyone who wants to live is out!"
Shu Yiyan reacted very quickly and immediately turned to Shen Qingqing and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go over and ask what's going on."
As he spoke, he ran over quickly, followed the two people and asked, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Luo, what are you doing?"
"Tell everyone to go out and see a doctor." The taller man on the left patted Shu Yiyan on the shoulder, "Go and call your mother out, let's go together."
Shu Yiyan's expression changed, and he even stretched out his arms to stop them in front of them. His green face looked determined, "You can't go out! Anyone who is sick can't go out!"
The sloping man on the right pushed him, "What do you mean?"
Shu Yiyan staggered a step, then stood back stubbornly, "This disease is contagious, we can't take it out!"
The man on the left has a better temper and advises in a gentle voice: "Yiyan, I know you are a good boy and kind, but now is not the time to be kind. If you don't go out to find a doctor, all of us will die. We are all neighbors.
Neighbor, can you bear to watch everyone die one by one?"
"I can't bear it, but that's not a reason to spread the disease." Shu Yiyan stood firm.
"You are a good person. If you don't want to go out and harm others, then just stay at home and wait for death. Don't stop us!" The lame man stretched out his arm irritably and tried to push him.
Before his hand touched the young man's thin shoulder, a stone suddenly shot out from the diagonal stab, hitting him so hard that he folded his arms and screamed.
"Shu Yiyan, come here, I'll tell them." Shen Qingqing said with a cold face.
Shu Yiyan tightened his grip on his clothes and silently stepped aside.
Only then did the two men notice that there was a strange woman standing behind them. The woman was dressed a little strangely. She was wearing a bright red skirt and a white cloth wrapped around her face. She had a fierce look in her eyes and a formidable aura around her. The two of them could not figure out her.
I didn't dare to speak for a while.
Shen Qingqing walked up to the two of them step by step and said in a cold voice: "I can tell you clearly that no one outside can cure this disease. If you want to live, just stay here and listen to my arrangements."
The man on the left didn't want to believe what she said, but seeing that her face was serious and didn't look like she was lying, he hesitated for a long time and squeezed out two words: "Really?"
Shen Qingqing explained patiently: "Someone in the Qi family has the same disease as you. You should have heard of the Qi family who is doing business in Xiangcheng, right? The Qi family invited all the doctors in Xiangcheng last night. Those people even
The cause of the disease cannot be found...do you think it can be cured?"
