Chapter 924 Suspected Infection
Lu Qingqing checked the quantity and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Manager Feng had prepared quite a few medicine packets for her at the time.
Even though some of it was used up on the way to the capital, there's still more than half a box left.
I just don't know if this medicine packet is right for my condition.
Thinking of this, she took two packets of medicine, came out of her spatial storage, and gave them to Old Man Zhuang.
Old Zhuang studied the medicine packet in the room for a while and felt that it might work.
He asked Lu Qingqing about the quantity of medicinal herbs she had through the room.
After learning that there were still dozens of packs left, I finally felt less panicked.
However, the quantity of these medicinal herbs is limited.
No one in the village has shown symptoms yet, so these medicinal herbs shouldn't be wasted.
Remembering that Lu Qingqing had asked him for a prescription to prevent and treat the epidemic, he went back to his medicine box and started rummaging through it.
After searching around, they found a large bundle.
After placing the bundle at the door, he called Lu Qingqing out.
Lu Qingqing went out and brought the medicinal herbs back into the house.
After checking the quantity of medicinal herbs, I grabbed two handfuls and put them into the pot.
Then, they started pouring water into the pot.
The most important ingredient in this pot of medicine for preventing the disease is water.
After the liquid boiled, Qin Lang ladled it into a bucket.
Only two buckets of water were scooped out of this large pot.
After covering it with a lid to keep it warm, I continued simmering.
Lu Qingqing counted the number of people in the village and brewed a total of six buckets of medicine.
Qin Lang carried the bucket with the lid onto the carriage in the courtyard.
Lu Qingqing then placed the two bowls that she had scooped out separately at the door of Sun Yue and Old Man Zhuang.
Back inside, she and Qin Lang each drank a bowl of wine.
After putting on a specially made mask, he also put on a face towel.
After checking each other to make sure there were no problems,
The two drove the carriage straight to Uncle Wu's house in the west of the village.
When they arrived at Uncle Wu's house, Lu Qingqing stepped forward and knocked on the heavy wooden door.
"Fifth Uncle, I've brewed some medicine to prevent the disease!"
Just then, Uncle Wu's voice rang out in the courtyard.
"Young Master Lu, thank you so much for your help."
"Please leave this medicinal soup at the door; I'll have Cheng Kun take some men to distribute it."
Lu Qingqing responded and, together with Qin Lang, unloaded the wooden bucket.
After the two drove away, the gate of Uncle Lao Wu's house opened.
Uncle Wu brought his two grandsons out for a look.
Seeing that steam was still rising from the edge of the wooden bucket lid, he hurriedly directed his two grandsons to hurry up and catch the cart.
Sun Chengkun, who was in the woodshed, listened to the commotion outside and hurriedly inquired about the situation.
I was very happy when I found out it was a medicine for preventing the spread of the disease.
Before long, a bowl of hot medicinal soup was placed at the door of the woodshed.
He opened the door, brought the bowl of medicine inside, and gulped it down in one go.
After drinking it, I felt much better, even though I was feeling down.
I heard outside that my father and two sons were about to drive a horse-drawn cart to the village to distribute medicine.
He was about to suggest that he go too, but then he thought about his own situation and kept quiet.
Uncle Lao Wu's two grandsons are now over ten years old.
They didn't want Grandpa to go out with them, but Uncle Wu insisted.
In his words, he's an old man, his life and death are now up to fate!
Leaving earlier means less worry and less suffering.
After the three went out, they split up from west to east.
When the first bucket was distributed, Uncle Lao Wu counted the number of buckets.
Looking at the remaining buckets on the truck, he calculated that there would be a surplus of about half a bucket.
When the money was distributed later, they were more generous with their money.
The families who received the medicinal soup would quickly take the bowl away as soon as the others left.
Then they were assigned to different rooms.
When the soldiers were assigned to their respective courtyards, each courtyard housed at least eight or nine people, and sometimes as many as a dozen.
Uncle Wu took a ladle, calculated the amount, and ladled the medicinal soup into the basin they had prepared.
When they arrived at the courtyard where the third soldier lived, they knocked on the door as usual.
As soon as I explained my purpose, I heard the soldiers inside shout.
"Fifth Uncle, please give us more medicine."
Zhou Sange and Da Tou's whole room have fevers, and I just heard them start coughing.
I suspect they've contracted the disease!
When the fifth uncle and his grandson outside heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
They covered their faces with handkerchiefs and took a few steps back, bumping into the carriage before they realized what had happened.
Uncle Wu offered a few words of comfort and told them to put the basin at the door.
The three stood at a distance, watching as the person inside released a wooden bucket.
After the courtyard gate was closed and there was no more movement inside, Uncle Wu stopped his grandson from going forward to scoop out the medicine.
He grabbed the ladle and, based on the number of people in the yard, calculated the amount to scoop into the water.
Because the person in the house was sick, he gave them an extra five or six bowls of food.
Almost the instant he finished scooping, he quickly retreated with the scoop in his hand.
It wasn't until the carriage had traveled a short distance that Uncle Wu called for the people inside to come out and fetch the medicine.
After walking through several more courtyards, we encountered another group of people with fever and cough.
That courtyard belonged to the Elm Tree family, the ones who had coughed before entering the courtyard wall.
Being a villager, Uncle Lao Wu still asked a question over the courtyard wall after learning about the situation.
Knowing that Yushu was alone in a room, he gave her a few more instructions before putting down the medicine and leaving.
As soon as everyone left, Elm Tree Mother immediately came out and took in the basin containing the medicinal soup.
First, I scooped out a large bowl and placed it at the doorway of the house where the elm tree was.
He called out several times through the door until the smoldering elm tree responded, then he returned to the house with a heavy heart.
Outside, Uncle Wu and the others were still delivering medicine.
When I arrived at the courtyard where Bai Song lived, I told him about the situation ahead.
Bai Song's heart sank when he learned that someone had a fever and cough.
He was almost certain that the people who went up to the second floor to search were all infected.
Thinking of Zhou Peng and his brothers, he closed his eyes.
After calling Yan Xu out and confirming the location of those people in the courtyard, they decided to make a trip to those courtyards later.
No matter what, those people need to be isolated in a separate room.
If nothing happens, that's fine; but if something does happen, it shouldn't harm the other brothers.
Before Uncle Lao Wu left, Bai Song told him about the situation of guarding the three village entrances.
In this current situation, only one person is left to watch over each of the three village entrances.
Bai Song reminded Uncle Wu to make sure no one was left behind on duty.
Uncle Wu naturally hadn't forgotten that he had discussed it with Bai Song beforehand.
They took turns standing guard according to their location in the village, from front to back.
Uncle Wu and his two grandsons drove the horse-drawn carriage eastward.
After walking around the whole place, we arrived at the entrance of Lu Qingqing's courtyard.
He explained the situation in the village from behind the courtyard wall.
