Chapter 63 Thirsty Patients


63 Thirsty Patients


Cui Muzhi covered his mouth and nose and shouted in the direction of Bai Wutong and the others from dozens of meters away, “Madam Bai, Muzhi requests an audience!”


Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao came out of the shed and replied, “What’s wrong?”


Cui Muzhi waved the letter. “Everything’s in the letter, ma’am.”


Bai Wutong said, “Then put it on the ground.”


Cui Muzhi placed it on the ground and quickly retreated. Bai Wutong walked over and sprayed disinfectant on it before picking it up to read it carefully.


When she saw the last piece of paper, she was stunned for a moment. Cui Shize had actually given her the formula for the Life Spirit Pill just to obtain some herbs and food.


Seeing Bai Wutong’s darkened expression, Cui Muzhi couldn’t help but worry. “Madam, we don’t need a lot of medicine. We just need to save my cousin first. Please.” He still didn’t know that Cui Shize had given out the formula for the Life Spirit Pill for Cui Lingyi.


No matter how magical the Life Spirit Pill was, it was enough as long as it could reduce the pain of Qingfeng and the others’ relapse and let them live longer.


The herbs and food Cui Shize wanted were not enough to shake the foundation of their survival. Bai Wutong thought for a moment and said decisively, “Okay, wait a moment.”


While Bai Wutong asked someone to prepare something, she wrote a letter to Cui Shize to prevent the plague.


The plague didn’t mean that it wouldn’t relapse after it was healed, nor did it mean that they definitely wouldn’t get sick after taking preventive medicine.


The many types of plague were not only restricted to infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, but also cla.s.sic red-eye from bacteria in dirty water entering the eyes. If it was not treated, it would cause a large number of people to die from infection.


Bai Wutong also specially wrote in the letter that water could only be taken from the upstream and had to be boiled to be drunk. The sick and cured had to be separated to prevent a second cross-infection. They had to wash their hands diligently to keep their surroundings clean. Most importantly, they had been told about the wonderful use of masks.


Respiratory infectious diseases were different from red-eye diseases. Only water with bacteria and hands that came into contact with the eyes could be infectious. Through air transmission, masks could effectively block the virus in the saliva air, greatly reducing the speed of transmission of the plague and being effective in preventing it.


Seeing Bai Wutong’s thick letter, Cui Shize’s eyes lit up. If he did as Bai Wutong said and took precautions in advance, the plague would be completely controllable. Even if it had an outbreak from time to time, it could be stopped as soon as possible.


In particular, if the two prescriptions of Bai Wutong were really effective, offering them to others would definitely benefit tens of millions of citizens. Bai Wutong would definitely be recorded in history and become a figure that would be respected for generations to come.


If not for the fact that Cui Lingyi had drunk the medicine and was already lying down tiredly, Cui Shize would have asked her about Madam Bai’s background.


While waiting for the flood to subside, Bai Wutong also carefully observed everyone in their team. She was relieved that no symptoms of the plague appeared.


Village Chief Zhao and Lin Yue, who had been isolated for three days, sat down to eat with everyone again.


The days of isolation were really too painful and too stuffy.


Lin Yue now felt that Qingfeng was much more good-looking. He smiled and said, “Why do you look more and more like a girl?” As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. She seemed to be a girl to begin with. What nonsense was he saying?


Qingfeng lowered her eyes and her expression could not be seen clearly. Just as Lin Yue was feeling a little awkward and wanted to find something to make up for it, Qingfeng said calmly, “You too.”


“???” What was the same?


He was a man who was absolutely legitimate and masculine!


Lin Yue was dumbfounded and had a kind of solemn gaze that was confused. A smile appeared in Qingfeng’s cold eyes, and her good-looking face softened, making him stunned.


She seemed to have become more like a girl just now…


Qingfeng put down the bowl and chopsticks. When she walked away, she said to Lin Yue in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “You’re same as Auntie Yang.”


Lin Yue had almost forgotten something. When Qingfeng suddenly said that, he suddenly realized that Qingfeng was mocking him for being as talkative as Madam Yang! He was so angry that he crushed his chopsticks as he looked at Qingfeng’s tall back.


It was simply too detestable!


In the past, she was despicable, but now, she was even more despicable!


When the flood subsided, Bai Wutong and the others could continue on their way.


They were about to enter the core area of Jiangyuan City. There were still refugees and an ongoing pandemic, so the danger level had greatly increased. Bai Wutong asked everyone to be extremely vigilant when they went on the way.


Cui Lingyi and the others had also recovered from their illnesses. They wanted to enter Jiangyuan City to replenish their food and herbs stock. Most importantly, Cui Shize wanted to persuade Bai Wutong to hand the prescription to the government of Jiangyuan City so that the magistrate of Jiangyuan City could use the prescription to try his best to save the lives of the commoners.


Cui Shize and the others followed behind Bai Wutong and the others. Suddenly, a fat old man with a white beard fell to the side of the road. The man supporting him shouted in shock, “Teacher, Teacher! Wake up!”


Everyone thought that it was a person with plague and could not help but speed up. On the horse, Cui Shize suddenly heard an abnormally familiar voice from the man. He looked down and suddenly met the eyes of the man who was looking for help.


“Senior Brother!”


“Junior Brother!”


Both of them shouted in surprise.


Xu Zhiyi’s wet eyes revealed a surprised expression as he said to Cui Shize, “Junior Brother, Teacher’s condition is acting up!”


Cui Shize knew that Yang Quanzi suffered from thirst-quenching disease and often felt thirsty, weak, and dizzy. However, he did not know that it was so serious that he could not wake up no matter how hard he tried.


Cui Lingyi frowned and asked Xu Zhiyi worriedly, “Could Grandmaster have contracted the plague?”


As soon as she said this, Xu Zhiyi’s handsome face turned pale.


After calming down, he said, “I don’t think so. The teacher has no symptoms other than thirst-quenching.”


Cui Shize was relieved and quickly asked, “Is Teacher’s medicine all used up?”


Wasn’t that obvious? If Xu Zhiyi still had medicine, he would have fed it to Yang Quanzi immediately.


He said helplessly, “It’s long used up. Otherwise, Teacher wouldn’t have had such a serious relapse.”


Yang Quanzi’s medicine was specially developed by the imperial physicians and required many precious herbs. How could he get the medicine in such a short time?


Yang Quanzi could only say, “Help Teacher into the carriage first. We’ll find a doctor when we reach Jiangyuan City.”


The word ‘doctor’ made Cui Shize and Cui Lingyi look at each other before looking at the team in front of them.


Bai Wutong had said humbly that she only knew a little.


However, which doctor who knew only a little bit could cure the plague!


Her medical skills were definitely not inferior to the era’s miracle doctor.


His teacher’s condition was critical, so Cui Shize could only shamelessly plead for a favor again.
