Chapter 93 Plague Spreads to the Post Station
Chapter 093: Plague spreads to the post station
"hehe···"
Shen Xiangwan couldn't help laughing out loud, and like magic, he took out a palm-sized rainbow lollipop from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "Here, a reward for our obedient An Ge'er."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Holding the lollipop, the little cub smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Hey, little guy, are you pestering auntie for food again?"
As he was talking, Wei Chenghe also walked in, and the little cub held up the lollipop high: "Uncle, look, this is the award from auntie, it's given to me."
"It looks delicious. Can you give me a bite?"
Wei Chenghe leaned over and pinched his face teasingly.
"what···"
The little cub was stunned on the spot. After a moment, he frowned and said painfully, "Only, you can only bite a small bite!"
"Hahaha···"
Everyone was amused by him and laughed happily at the same time. Wei Chenghe patted his head lovingly: "Okay, uncle is just teasing you, eat it yourself."
"it is good."
Hearing this, the little cub laughed again. The candies given by his aunt were all very delicious. This one was so beautiful, it must be even more delicious.
"By the way, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
After the laughter, Wei Linger asked again. When she came in, she seemed to see her second sister-in-law giving her second brother an acupuncture. Could it be that the poison in her second brother's body had broken out again?
Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Linger's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at Wei Chengyi with worry, afraid that he was just pretending.
"Nothing, I have developed an antidote for the poison in Cheng Yi's body and I was giving it to him just now."
"what?"
Hearing what she said, Wei Chenghe and Wei Ling'er both jumped up, and the latter even grabbed Shen Xiangwan's hand excitedly: "Really? Has the second sister-in-law really detoxified the second brother?"
"Second sister-in-law?"
Wei Chenghe also held his breath and looked at her nervously. Anyone with ears could hear that their voices were mixed with an unmistakable tremor. They all remembered that when the second brother was first poisoned, he was unable to effectively suppress the toxin. Every time the poison took effect, he would scream and roar in pain, completely losing his usual cold and indifferent demeanor.
In order to detoxify, they visited famous doctors and almost exhausted the resources of the palace, but in the end they could only suppress it. Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law now said that she had helped the second brother detoxify. If this is true, the second brother will not have to suffer in the future, and the mother will definitely be very happy.
"To be precise, I just gave him medicine for the first time. The poison in his body is extremely strong and has caused some damage to his body. If I use strong medicine to detoxify him, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage to his body. Therefore, the detoxification method I formulated needs to last for seven days, and the medicine cannot be stopped at will in the middle. Only after seven days can the toxins be completely eliminated."
Holding her hand with his backhand, Shen Xiangwan met their gaze and patiently explained that the atmosphere in their family was really good, their mother was kind, and the brothers and sisters were in harmony. As for those other top-notch people, she said that they were no longer in the same family tree and had nothing to do with them.
"That's great, sister-in-law, thank you!"
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
They were sure that the second brother's poison could really be cured. Although it would take a few days, the brother and sister were still so excited that their eyes were red. They both choked up and thanked him. "What are you thanking me for?"
Pulling his hand back, Shen Xiangwan pretended to be annoyed and tapped Wei Linger's forehead with his fingers: "He is your brother and also my husband. Isn't it my duty to help him detoxify?"
"Ah."
At times like this, no matter what she said, they would nod in agreement. Apart from anything else, just because she helped her brother detoxify, she would always be one of their most respected people.
On this day, because Shen Xiangwan started to detoxify Wei Chengyi, the atmosphere upstairs was very cheerful. In contrast, the atmosphere downstairs was not so good. Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou did not get their rations and came back with a tantrum. Even the escorts did not dare to approach them, let alone those from the Wei and Shen families.
Moreover, not long after they returned, the two men developed a high fever, accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose and cough. In less than two hours, their condition became extremely critical. The medicine brought back by the escorts was of no use. They were completely unconscious. By the afternoon, many escorts, people at the post station, and people from the Shen and Wei families developed the same symptoms one after another. The entire post station fell into despair and panic.
What made them even more desperate was that after the government learned of the situation here, they sent a team of soldiers to surround the post station and ordered them not to go out.
"Are you sure they are infected with the plague?"
After discovering the situation downstairs, Qingying reported it to Wei Chengyi immediately. In the morning, according to Shen Xiangwan's instructions, all the guards wore masks and retreated to the second floor. Moreover, in order to avoid infection to the greatest extent, they also borrowed a few stoves from the post station, bought enough charcoal and food, and cooked lunch directly upstairs.
"determine."
Facing their gaze, Qingying nodded affirmatively. Their symptoms were exactly the same as those of the people outside who were infected with the epidemic.
"It seems that it is necessary to go down and take a look."
Shen Xiangwan said with a heavy face that the post station had been surrounded by soldiers and many people inside were infected with the plague, and it would sooner or later spread to the upper floors. Instead of waiting until something happened and then panicking, it would be better to act in advance and prepare medicine to treat and prevent the plague.
"Too dangerous."
Hearing this, Wei Chengyi looked at her disapprovingly. Qingying had already said that anyone infected with the plague would develop the disease very quickly and the mortality rate was very high. He couldn't let her take the risk.
“Just take protective measures.”
The plague is terrible, but human hearts are even more terrible. Although the government has only sent soldiers to surround the post station, who knows if they will do something even more cruel?
Shen Xiangwan has decided to go down. Only by personally coming into contact with the epidemic and collecting blood and saliva samples from infected people can she develop corresponding medicines.
"But···"
"No buts."
Wei Chengyi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Xiangwan. Looking into his eyes, Shen Xiangwan said seriously, "Chengyi, you know better than me that hiding can't solve the problem. Putting aside the attitude of the government, the current situation does not allow us to hide. When the air in the post station is full of plague viruses, do you think it will be useful for us to hide upstairs? Besides, I'm not a saint. If the epidemic is as serious as Qingying said, many people will definitely die. I can't just watch it."
In her past and present lives, she asked herself whether she was a good person or not, but she was definitely not a bad person either. Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, she could not remain indifferent. Only by developing medicine to treat and prevent the plague could she negotiate with the officials and ask them to come forward to treat more people.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
After looking at her deeply for a while, Wei Chengyi finally gave in. He was not a heartless person, so how could he be really indifferent?
"Ah."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan did not refuse. She turned around and went back to her room to get a few sets of protective clothing. Although she decided to save people, she would not act rashly. She had to ensure her own safety. As for whether others would suspect anything, she couldn't care less at this time.
