A female military doctor traveled through time and was forced to love by a cruel prince

Chapter 182 Entering the Epidemic Area

We traveled day and night, and the further we went, the more we felt the breath of the plague approaching.

First, on both sides of the road, there gradually appeared a flow of people fleeing famine.

As we walked further, the flow of people became larger and denser.

Xiao Yuehan said to Zi Sangyu who was watching from the car window: "What should we do?

It seems that the people here have already known about the epidemic and are fleeing to a safe area.

But where is safe? If someone among these people is infected, then there is no safe place.

They will carry this disease further afield, and we should set up camp right here and stop these people.”

"But how are we going to solve the problem of food?" Zi Sangyu said as he looked out the window at the people with their families.

"The food we brought can last for a few days. During these few days, we will seek help from the local county government."

"Okay!" Zi Sangyu made the decision instantly, and the two got out of the car immediately to make arrangements.

When those who were on their way saw that they were the imperial army, they stopped to watch.

They also talked at once and told the government about the epidemic situation at the front.

"You can't go any further. There are villages more than a hundred miles away from here. Village after village is infected. Most of the people in a village are gone."

"Where is the government? Is he managing it?" Xiao Yuehan asked.

"I can, but how can I do anything? The medicine prescribed by the government is useless.

"If you are going to die, you will die, piece by piece. Alas!"

"That's right. At first the government dug pits to bury the bodies, but now they can't take care of it anymore. They just dump them in the wild."

"There is no other way but to run. Don't go forward either. Many soldiers and runners have been infected."

Xiao Yuehan said to everyone, "Are there any of you who are infected? If so, no matter where you flee to, you will end up with the same result, without exception."

"What should we do? It's better than standing there and watching them fall one by one. We can hide for one day at a time."

"Yes, yes. You have no choice. This is not an enemy. If you kill one, there will be one less.

The key is that there is no medicine that can cure this thing. Let's go, go back to where you came from."

Xiao Yuehan said to everyone, "I have brought a new prescription. Don't go anywhere now. Set up camp here and we will check on everyone.

Those who were infected and those who were not infected camped on both sides of the road and did not come into contact with each other.

We have medicine for those who are infected, and we also have medicine for prevention for those who are not infected.

If you don't listen and insist on going forward.

If one of you gets infected and there is no medicine, there is only one way out, and that is death. Think about what you should do."

Hearing Xiao Yuehan say this, the crowd stopped moving forward.

It seemed that those few people who had some influence gathered together to discuss, and soon gave the answer.

"Okay, we'll listen to the officials and move forward. We don't know where to go. No one will take us in.

So, it’s not a method.”

A big man in black made the decision, and when the undecided guys heard it, they thought it made sense and expressed their agreement.

Zi Sangyu left Ye Chun and three hundred elite soldiers behind and said to Xiao Yuehan, "You deal with this group of people here, and I will continue to move forward with the others. If there is anything, use muskets or carrier pigeons to send messages."

As he said this, he spurred his horse to continue galloping.

Xiao Yuehan divided the doctors he brought with him into groups to examine these people.

She took out a big bag from the carriage.

Inside is a cut triangle scarf.

She distributed them to the doctors and soldiers, and put them around her mouth and tied them behind her head to show them. Everyone learned how to put them on and tied them to cover their mouths and noses.

She said to the people: "If you have scraps of cloth, you can tear them into this triangle and cover your mouth and nose to prevent infection."

When the people saw this, they thought it was a good idea and started looking for the item in the packages.

After a while, those who were quick with the cloth strips tore them and wrapped them around their mouths and noses.

Xiao Yuehan and the doctors took the temperature of the people one by one and asked if they had symptoms of cough or headache.

Sure enough, several people with high body temperatures had been screened out, and the soldiers who had taken protective measures immediately isolated them on the other side of the road.

The other soldiers had already started a fire, set up a big pot, and started to boil the medicinal herbs that Xiao Yuehan brought.

When the people saw that someone was taking care of them, that they had food to eat, and that there was free medicine, they all quieted down and listened obediently to the instructions.

But something went wrong over there.

One man was unwilling to be separated from his wife and children, so he was taken to the other side of the road by the soldiers because his temperature was abnormal.

He shouted, "Who are you? Why should I listen to you? Just because you say I'm infected, does that mean I'm infected? This is nonsense."

As he said that, he started running away.

The soldiers chased after them.

Seeing him resist, several people who also had abnormal body temperatures started to make a fuss: “Separating us, do you mean you don’t care about us anymore?”

Another relative who was isolated also called out his relative’s name: “Chen Erwa, they want to burn you to death. This disease is only afraid of fire. You should quickly follow them and run away. Run away… woo woo…”

This sentence scared the people in quarantine: "They want to burn us to death. Look, they have already started a fire. Folks, run away quickly."

All of a sudden, those who were isolated started running wildly, looking for a way to escape. Those who were not infected called out to their relatives, asking them to flee quickly, as it would be too late.

Xiao Yuehan was furious, and there were also people who had little to do. She saw the people who were in charge just now, called them over and asked, "Do you believe in the government?"

One of them looked her up and down and said, "I want to believe it, but you are a woman. What's wrong? Is there no one in the government?"

Xiao Yuehan pointed at the three hundred soldiers and the doctor and said, "There are people from the government. These are all government officials.

I am a doctor, and I am responsible for treating patients here. You must believe that the government will not ignore the people."

Then he pointed to a few large pots that were bubbling with medicine and said, "The medicine in these pots is almost ready.

You mobilize the patients who have escaped back so that we can give them medicine first, okay?"

Those few people went to one side and discussed it separately.

So he said to her, "Okay, let's take the medicine first, but there is one condition. Your people must drink a bowl of medicine from each pot first."

"Okay." Xiao Yuehan agreed readily.

They all thought this method was feasible. Those few men roared and were still looking for a way to escape. Those who were being chased by the soldiers stopped and looked at their temporary leader.

The big brother in black said, "Come here and line up in front of each pot. Their people drink first, then you drink. After you finish drinking, stay still."

No more trouble. I will kick out anyone who makes trouble, and then I will not care about him anymore. Do you understand?"
