The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 140 is Xinglin Hall

With Chen Hu's help in becoming the spokesperson, the arrangements were quickly made in an orderly manner.

Looking at the patients gathering together, Lin Yan was once again convinced of Chen Hu's prestige among the group.

Some of the people who weren't infected stayed behind to care for their sick family members, while others were villagers who stayed behind, and now that the area is sealed off, they can't leave either.

When Lin Yan gathered all the patients together, she discovered that there were more people than she had imagined.

Many patients were not gathered in one place, but were settled with their relatives. Now they have all been sent here, there must be more than 400 people.

Not to mention there are over a hundred patients with colds in another location.

Fortunately, there were also many people who did not get sick, so there was a sufficient labor force.

Under Lin Yan's direction, these people were busy with various tasks: burning mugwort, burying corpses, disinfecting with lime water, and brewing medicine...

Everyone got busy. The patients had a clean environment and new bedding. The room was warm with a charcoal brazier burning.

Lin Yan and Li Zhongwei worked for two consecutive days without rest. Lin Yan distilled alcohol and, together with two senior doctors, prepared medicine for Li Zhongwei.

Li Zhongwei has changed the prescription four times in a row, improving the medicine, and constantly diagnosing, prescribing medicine, and administering acupuncture for patients.

Those patients with colds who were transferred to a clean and warm environment, and with Li Zhongwei's medication, quickly showed improvement.

Their mindset has improved a lot, and the refugees gathered in the village have become increasingly trusting of Lin Yan and her two companions.

Everyone was now even more certain that these people really just had a cold. They felt both angry and regretful.

I am angry that these people were not properly taken care of, angry at their tragic fate, and regretful that I was unable to save the patients I had treated before.

Li Zhongwei's prescription took effect on the fourth day. When Xiao Shitou went to feed the medicine early in the morning, he found that a patient suffering from the epidemic had recovered from his fever.

Little Stone ran quickly into Lin Yan's room to deliver the good news, excitedly saying, "The fever has gone down! Someone's fever has gone down!"

Li Zhongwei jumped up and followed Xiao Shitou out. Lin Yan put down the medicine in her hand and followed them out as well.

Li Zhongwei was taking the pulse of the patient whose fever had subsided. He lifted the patient's eyelids to look at him and showed some joy: "The fever has indeed subsided. It seems that this approach was correct."

With the prescription in place, many patients with the epidemic began to improve quickly after taking the medicine. Within just two or three days, their high fever and vomiting subsided, leaving only severe coughing and diarrhea.

However, Lin Yan discovered a new problem while preparing the medicine.

"These medicines probably won't be enough!" Lin Yan muttered as she looked through the medicinal herbs they had brought.

They brought five cartloads of medicinal herbs, and now only two cartloads remain, enough to last them two more days. But two days may not be enough to make everyone better.

Some people have good constitutions, so the medicine works well for them and they recover from their fever quickly. But for others, the medicine works more slowly and they are still having a fever.

Moreover, new patients have been appearing in recent days, and it is normal for this type of bacterial infection to have an incubation period.

As the number of patients increases and medicinal materials begin to become scarce, they will face a new predicament.

"Fu Bo, go ask those yamen runners if there are any medicinal herbs left in the county!"

Fu Bo nodded and went out to ask. Now, only a few of them could communicate with the yamen runners outside. After all, they were here for disaster relief, and the old clerk had instructed them to stay outside.

Fu Bo specifically asked a yamen runner to notify Wu Xing and the others who were helping with the construction outside. Several shopkeepers searched all the pharmacies in the county to purchase the necessary medicinal herbs.

It's not that we gained nothing, but rather very little. Wutai County has been cut off from the outside world for over a month, and these shops haven't received any new stock. Moreover, medicines for treating colds were the first to sell out.

The three shopkeepers outside were extremely anxious.

These past few days they've been helping to rebuild collapsed houses and distributing relief food to the people.

These people's eyes turned red as soon as they saw the grain, and there was no order to them. Luckily, they had a lot of people with them, otherwise the grain would have been looted as soon as they arrived.

Ding Wei had witnessed too many horrific scenes in the past two days, and even his lips were covered in blisters from the cold weather.

To make matters worse, the yamen runners told them that the old clerk seemed to have a fever.

"What are we going to do now! Should we send the registrar to the epidemic area?"

The county is already in chaos enough. Fortunately, there was a registrar who could take the lead and control the situation, but now that the registrar has also fallen, who will lead the yamen runners?

"Isolate him separately first. Didn't Fu Bo say that they have found an effective treatment for the epidemic?" Wu Xing frowned, also very distressed.

"We're almost out of medicinal herbs! What's the use of having a prescription then!" Ding Wei said.

Just as the group was looking worried, a constable rushed in excitedly, "More disaster relief has arrived! More disaster relief has arrived!"

"Who! Which side are you from? The imperial court?"

The constables were all delighted, saying, "It's not the imperial court! It's Xinglin Hall!"

"Xinglin Hall!" The shopkeepers were all delighted.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! With Xinglintang here, we won't lack medicinal herbs anymore!"

"That's right, they must have brought a doctor with them!"

"Quickly, let them in!" Ding Wei excitedly told the constable.

This matter should have been addressed to the registrar, but the registrar had also fallen ill, so the group didn't discuss it further and went directly to open the door to fetch the person.

After all, Xinglin Hall's reputation was renowned throughout the entire Daliang.

Outside of Wutai County.

Carts of supplies were parked at the entrance, and two people got off the carriage above: a gentle-looking middle-aged man and a serious-looking young man.

"Second Uncle, why is it so quiet outside? Apart from the messenger who came to deliver the message, there isn't a single person here."

"They've probably all gathered together. We're late; we've been delayed on the road for several days." This gentle-looking man looked a little pale. He had been traveling for several days in a row, and the roads were really difficult to travel. His frail, scholarly body was not feeling well.

"Someone's here!" The young master saw the gate open and several people come out, but they didn't look like the officials here.

“You are the Yu family of Xinglintang!” said an old-looking manager first.

The uncle nodded, "Yes, Yu Dingxin from the Yu family, and this is my elder brother's son, Yu Wenxuan."

Manager Huang's eyes gleamed. He hadn't expected that the person who came was a direct descendant of the Yu family. The current head of the Yu family was the eldest son, Yu Dingyang. This Yu Wenxuan was Yu Dingyang's son. Yu Dingxin was the second son. Although he didn't manage the business much, he was a famous doctor who had inherited the true skills of the older generation, Yu Zheng.

"It's so good to see you all! We were just worried about not having enough medicinal herbs!" Manager Huang didn't say anything more.

“You don’t seem to be from the government.” Yu Wenxuan glanced at Manager Huang and his group indifferently.

"No, we're here for disaster relief too, from Yun'an. Their county clerk is also sick, and as for the county magistrate... well, I'll tell you the details later!" Manager Huang shook his head.

"So you're here for disaster relief too!" Yu Dingxin's expression softened considerably. People who are willing to risk coming to the epidemic area at a time like this must be trustworthy.

"Then let's go see the patients first! The epidemic must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will continue to spread." Yu Dingxin came here because of the epidemic.
