"What happened?"
Tang Chuxia wondered what was going on; the appearance of these people seed off.
Erya’s mother quickly explained to Tang Chuxia, "Dr. Tang, they’ve heard of your arrival and that you will provide dicine, so they all ca to ask for it!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Her younger cousin and the others had not yet delivered the dicine, and Tang Chuxia had nothing in her hands. The only ability she had that could save lives, she dared not use lightly, lest she risk her own life.
"In that case, everyone please line up. I will examine everyone. This epidemic isn’t frightening; as long as the dicine arrives, just drinking it for a few days will resolve the issue!"
Tang Chuxia knew all too well how simple it was to deal with malaria, but comforting people’s hearts wasn’t sothing that could be resolved with just a word or two; she needed to think it through.
Village officials also ca to help maintain order.
Although Tang Chuxia’s dical skills were diocre, they were sufficient to treat the people in the village.
Since most of the people’s problems were similar, mainly resulting from overwork and various issues caused by malnutrition—trivialities really, all requiring simple care.
As for the damage caused by the epidemic, without dicine, Tang Chuxia was helpless.
Perhaps it was because Tang Chuxia’s chiropractic techniques were exceptional. Although she hadn’t dispensed any dicine, she had helped many with chiropractic adjustnts, earning a great deal of goodwill from the villagers.
Just as Tang Chuxia was getting the hang of treating and healing, there was finally so activity outside the village.
The newcors were not Gu Nanzhi and Zheng Duoqing, but Beihuai leading Qin Zhan and others with Zheng Duoqing guiding them. Lin Qingchen and brothers of Tang Chuxia’s master also arrived.
Their arrival significantly alleviated Tang Chuxia’s pressure. With dicine finally available, they set up pots at the entrance of the village to brew it. The scent of the dicine drifting through the air could calm the hearts of the people, and there was also concern that the villagers wouldn’t know how to brew the dicine, potentially wasting its effectiveness.
Everyone was to receive one bowl and drink it on the spot.
The rest would be left to ti.
Beihuai, upon learning that Tang Chuxia was treating people, almost lost his composure.
With Tang Chuxia’s physical condition, though she might appear robust, every use of her ability inflicted greater damage to her body.
This was not what Beihuai wanted to see.
"Brother Huai, you go find Sister Xiaxia; we’ll help distribute the dicine at the entrance!"
Knowing Beihuai’s concerns for Tang Chuxia, Qin Zhan made the decision for him and even pushed him along.
Beihuai was not pretentious; he indeed was anxious to know Tang Chuxia’s situation, as he couldn’t feel at ease otherwise.
Once Beihuai had run off, Qin Zhan then said to Lin Qingchen, "Priest, do you think there’s a beautiful predestined relationship between Brother Huai and Sister Xiaxia?"
Lin Qingchen did not respond, simply continuing to work.
Qin Zhan knew about Lin Qingchen’s interest in pursuing Tang Chuxia. For the sake of his own brothers, Qin Zhan was determined to nip any budding interest from Lin Qingchen in the bud.
"It’s hard to say!"
Lin Qingchen, focusing on the herbs in the pot, gave such a response without choking Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan was not pleased and pressed Lin Qingchen further, "Can’t you say sothing nice? Brother Huai and Sister Xiaxia are lawfully wedded wife and husband. If they aren’t a match made in heaven, how could they possibly get married?"
Lin Qingchen sighed, "Their situation is a bit peculiar; you’ll understand eventually!"
Lin Qingchen did not say much more, and indeed, he still rembered the words his master had said. With less than four months until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, what would beco of Tang Chuxia was hard to predict.
Because of Lin Qingchen’s lack of blessing, Qin Zhan’s deanor towards him also changed.
However, Lin Qingchen did not care.
What mattered most to him was how to get through this epidemic.
Judging from the current situation, the spread of the epidemic was still very rapid.
Moreover, the situation was a bit complex, not as simple as this village rely facing malaria.
There were places where the plague had broken up!
This matter was troubleso, because there were no solutions, and the probable choice was to sacrifice the few to save the many, though this decision would not be announced publicly. Those who wanted to know had no way to find out.
Lin Qingchen’s mind was filled with disordered thoughts, yet he appeared very calm.
Not to ntion Lin Qingchen and Qin Zhan’s situation, let’s talk about when Gu Beihuai found Tang Chuxia. She was setting soone’s bones, with the continuous cracking sounds emanating.
During this, Tang Chuxia’s calm and breezy reassurances followed, "Relax, relax, don’t be afraid, that’s right, just like that! Crack!"
While her mouth said "relax," her hands made a series of cracking noises.
Anyone hearing that would get goosebumps.
Gu Beihuai admired Tang Chuxia; no matter the environnt, she could always face it with a smile.
It was absolutely unimaginable.
Gu Beihuai leaned on the door fra, watching Tang Chuxia work. Those who squird were pressed down by Tang Chuxia with one slap, and they instantly wilted.
It’d be impossible for anyone else to handle it so easily.
Tang Chuxia had already seen Gu Beihuai, but she did not stop treating her patient to greet him; instead, she nodded at Gu Beihuai with her chin.
Gu Beihuai understood.
The village wasn’t very large, just a few hundred households. That would amount to over a thousand people. Even if half of them were sick, there were still the other half who ca over.
Tang Chuxia was not a machine; even though she was fast, it was impossible to treat one person per minute.
Thus, it led to the yard still being crowded, but Gu Beihuai and Qin Zhan coming over helped maintain order, which eased Tang Chuxia’s burden sowhat.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Xiaxia said she’ll be busy for a while. If you don’t have anything else to do, why don’t you go out and check on the items that the villagers have salvaged, see if they can be dealt with!"
Erya didn’t say anything good about her fellow villagers.
If it weren’t for these people scavenging trash, this epidemic might not have even occurred.
Gu Beihuai had no choice but to go out first with Qin Zhan, near the river. This area allowed the nearby villagers to salvage quite a few good things.
The most outrageous thing was that soone had fetched dead pigs and cows and kept them.
"These must not be kept. They must be burned!"
Now that malaria had manifested, Gu Beihuai could not take risks.
His words faced strong opposition from villagers who thought they had found treasures.
But Gu Beihuai didn’t argue with the villagers; he went straight to the village chief.
In a village, the most influential voice was definitely the elected village chief.
The village chief, once inford, stated that if the salvaged items weren’t dealt with soon, the village couldn’t improve.
For such a possibility, the village chief agreed to burn all the salvaged items.
Gu Beihuai also saw so usable woods.
"Those usable pieces, you just need to sprinkle them with li water, then let them dry and sun for a while; they don’t all need to be burned. But the animals must be burned!"
Eating food that had been soaked by a flood was truly dangerous.
"Is there really no other way?"
So people, clinging to the dead animals, wouldn’t let go, questioning why such at should go to waste.
The key point was that this had happened before, and no problems had arisen from eating it.
