Chapter 925 Another Trouble
Uncle Wu naturally hadn't forgotten that he had discussed it with Bai Song beforehand.
According to their location in the village, they went to the village entrance to stand guard in order from front to back.
If someone is sick or has other health issues, a family member will take their place.
However, the current duty shifts serve more as a reminder.
Even if you're just leaning against the wall, you can't really do anything.
After bidding farewell to Bai Song, Uncle Wu and his two grandsons drove their horse-drawn carriage eastward to deliver medicine.
After delivering the packages to everyone, they returned to the entrance of Lu Qingqing's courtyard.
He didn't really have much hope.
It's just that now that a plague has broken out, there's only one doctor in the village, Old Man Zhuang.
Tell him about it; maybe he can come up with a solution!
With that thought in mind, Uncle Wu stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard gate.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang put on their masks and ran into the yard.
When they heard that there were already cases of infection in the village, their expressions turned grim.
Old Zhuang and Sun Yue inside the house were so anxious that they paced back and forth.
Remembering the medicine packet from before, Old Man Zhuang hurriedly took it out from the kang (a heated brick bed) and called out to the outside:
"Qingqing, we also have medicine packets to treat the plague."
We haven't tried that medicine packet yet; maybe it will work!
When Uncle Wu outside heard about the medicine packet, he perked up and hurriedly inquired about its contents.
After a brief discussion, Lu Qingqing and Uncle Lao Wu made an agreement.
Later, they brewed the medicine they had and delivered it to Uncle Lao Wu.
After agreeing on the terms, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang hurried back to prepare the medicine.
Outside, Uncle Wu and his two grandsons also drove home.
As evening fell, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang sat in the room, gazing absently at the oil lamp on the table.
Now, the four people in the small courtyard live in three separate courtyards.
To prevent cross-infection, the people in the three rooms cooked and ate their own meals.
The two were sitting when they heard another knock on the door.
As Lu Qingqing ran outside, she made sure to put on her mask and face towel tightly.
As soon as the two stepped out of the house, they heard Uncle Wu's voice from outside.
"Brother Lu, I just went to the village again."
Elm Tree's mother said that after Elm Tree drank the medicine, his forehead wasn't as hot anymore.
But I still cough, and I feel drowsy and sleepy all the time.
Zhou Peng and the other soldiers were in a similar situation.
After hearing his story, Lu Qingqing suddenly remembered the plague outbreak in Baoshan Town.
At that time, the space water also had no effect.
The medicines used to treat the plague were not very effective against the new virus.
However, at that time, King Huai summoned renowned physicians from his fiefdom to study medicinal prescriptions.
Right now, they only have one neuroscientist, Old Man Zhuang, and one apprentice, Sun Yue.
Moreover, they also lack medicinal herbs.
In this situation, expecting these two people to be able to develop a prescription is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Outside the courtyard, Uncle Wu heard a silence inside and knew that the situation was not good.
He sighed and then offered words of comfort.
"Brother Lu, at least the medicine did have some effect."
Who knows, it might be better by tomorrow.
Given the current situation, we can only give it a try.
If all else fails, just stay home and tough it out.
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment and asked her fifth uncle to wait there.
She ran back into the house and retrieved some medicine packets based on the number of people Uncle Wu had previously reported.
Place the medicine packet outside the door and wait for Uncle Lao Wu to take it away.
These medicine packets are the amount of medicine that the patients will need to brew tomorrow.
Let's see how things go after we finish tomorrow's medicine and then decide what to do.
Before long, Sun Erhe from next door came and knocked on the door. It was their turn to stand guard at the village entrance.
Now, each household sends one person to stand guard at the village entrance for one hour.
Actually, only one person is needed.
But Qin Lang was worried and insisted on going with him.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang put on face towels and masks and went out.
The two arrived at the village entrance, where the guards greeted them from a distance and then left.
Seeing that the guard had left, Lu Qingqing went to the ladder.
It was getting dark, but we could still see the situation nearby.
She clung to the ladder, climbing up step by step.
A cold wind blew in from the four-meter-high wall, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Just as I was about to go down, my gaze fell upon a figure moving in the distance.
The next moment, she immediately squatted down and continued to look outside.
After confirming that I was not mistaken, I quickly climbed down the ladder.
Qin Lang noticed that she was getting off rather quickly, so he came over to help her.
Lu Qingqing grabbed his arm, her face serious, and said in a low voice:
"There are quite a few people hiding in the ditch at the end of the path. I saw several people walking around in the ditch!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang also became serious.
If another raid by refugees were to occur now, it would be a huge problem!
If people gather like this, infection is almost inevitable!
But if we ignore it, we'll all die if the refugees rush in!
Lu Qingqing quickly considered various possibilities, asked Qin Lang to keep watch here with the gong, and then ran towards the village.
When we arrived at Uncle Wu's yard, I told him what had happened.
Old Uncle Wu in the courtyard felt a buzzing in his head and almost lost his balance.
He sighed deeply, called his two grandsons to come and help him, and then went straight out of the yard.
The grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter kept a distance of more than a meter from Lu Qingqing as they walked towards the white pine tree, discussing their plans.
