Chapter 220: City Without Doctors
In addition to hatred, Ye Xu was also glad that only his left shoulder was injured.
"This, this, girl, this injury is too serious. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't do anything." The apprentice took a look at Ye Xu's wound.
He said with trembling body.
Ye Xu's eyes turned cold as he stared at the trembling apprentice.
"Swish!" A cold sword was placed across the apprentice's shoulder.
"Miss, please spare me, please spare me." The apprentice suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Can it be cured?" Ye Xuan asked coldly.
The apprentice took another look at the wound. Even though his life was hanging by a thread, he didn't dare to lie.
"Miss, no, it's not that I can't treat it. It's that I'm not skilled enough. It's all the fault of the arsonists. If they weren't despicable and hadn't massacred the Hulong Villa, there wouldn't be such a shortage of doctors in the city now." The apprentice said tremblingly.
As soon as he said this, Ye Xu's face became even gloomier.
The apprentice continued, "I, I am also thinking about you. I won't let you force me to treat you. If I can't cure you, it will only make the condition worse and make it worse."
The apprentice had his own considerations for saying this. It was obvious that these two men were from prominent backgrounds and had bad tempers.
They also knew his address. If he tried to fool them for a while and his condition worsened, they would come to their senses and would definitely not let him go.
His entire family has lived here for generations, and he would rather die alone in exchange for the safety of his entire family.
Ye Xu was about to lose his temper when Ye Xuan spoke first, "Dad, he's right. Let's just let him deal with it briefly and we can quickly go to a nearby town and find a professional doctor. We can't delay this injury."
"That's the best. I can handle it simply. Okay." The apprentice said quickly.
Ye Xu stared at his apprentice as if he was going to tear him into pieces in the next moment.
The apprentice's body trembled continuously.
In the end, his luck was not the worst, and Ye Xu agreed to this plan.
The wound was treated simply.
He then took Ye Xuan and his men and left quickly.
Before leaving, he asked Ye Xuan to deal with the person.
Ye Xuan understood.
Ye Xu took the others and left the inn first, while Ye Xuan stayed behind to clean up.
The apprentice looked at Ye Xuan's expression and knew that he could not escape today.
Although I am prepared to die, fear is an instinct, an uncontrollable instinct.
Ye Xuan looked at him, slowly drew out her sword, and said coldly: "Too much talk will lead to mistakes. We don't want to leave any trouble behind."
Although there was little hope, the apprentice still plopped down on his knees, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy: "Lady, spare my life, lady, spare my life..."
When Ye Xuan heard his words, a hint of mocking smile appeared on her lips. She said, "Lady, huh!"
Then he raised his knife and turned to leave the room.
After a while, the waiter came up to clean the place and let out a scream.
"what……"
After the incident at Huolong Villa in Jinou City, almost all the doctors in the city were killed, and most of the remaining ones were apprentices or those who were not well-trained.
This situation has caused a significant decline in the city's medical level.
But this situation did not last long. The government issued a notice that the court would send imperial physicians to unify the teaching and guide the original apprentices.
There will also be free diagnosis and treatment for one year, and people only need to pay for the medicine.
Only in this way could the people's panic about the lack of doctors be alleviated.
As for those doctors who died unjustly, if their families can be found, they will be taken home by their families. If they cannot be found, they will be buried by the government.
Each family of the victims will be compensated with five taels of burial expenses.
"Erwa, what's wrong with your neck?" The neighbor asked curiously, looking at the white cloth on Zhang Sitang's neck.
Zhang Sitang raised his hand to cover his neck, touched the rough white cloth, and said, "It's nothing, just some ringworm. I applied some medicine."
"Oh, so why didn't you go to the pharmacy today?" the neighbor asked curiously again.
Zhang Sitang said, "I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I'll rest at home for a day."
"Well, I think you should learn a new trade. Doctors in this city, tsk tsk tsk, you know..."
Zhang Sitang smiled but did not respond. He walked to his door in two or three steps, opened it and went in.
"Si Tang, why did you come back just now? Where did you go last night?" When his mother saw him come back, she immediately went to him excitedly, looked him up and down, and finally her eyes fell on his neck.
"What's wrong with your neck?" asked Zhang's mother.
Zhang Sitang explained, "Mom, I'm fine. I just accidentally scratched myself." He was filled with fear after surviving the disaster, but he couldn't tell his elderly mother at this moment.
When Song Yu woke up, he felt dizzy, his head swollen, and his mouth was dry.
After a while, she raised her hand, touched her forehead, and took her own pulse.
It was confirmed that she was ill.
"Ayu, you don't look well." Qingling touched Song Yu's forehead with some concern and was startled: "It's hot, you have a fever."
Qingling's voice was not small, and everyone else heard it.
Everyone looked over, and Song Yu said, "It's nothing serious, just take some medicine and you'll be fine. It's daybreak, let's pack up and get going."
Just as she was about to stand up, her wrist was grabbed. She turned her head and saw Ye Shuangbai with a gloomy face.
Ye Shuangbai took her pulse. After a while, his expression relaxed a little and he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms.
He stuffed it into Song Yu's hand and said, "Eat three." After that, he left muttering, "One or two, it really makes me worry."
Song Yu looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, opened the stopper, and smelled it. It had a fishy smell, like the smell of Houttuynia cordata.
She poured out three black pills that looked bitter.
Sure enough, when Song Yu poured the pill into his mouth, a bitter taste instantly stained the root of his tongue.
Qingling quickly handed over the water, and Song Yu grabbed it and gulped down several big gulps.
The bitter taste still lingered, and she missed the sugar-coated pills of modern times so much.
Technology changes our lives, and it also changes the way we take medicine.
After taking the medicine, the worry in Qingling's eyes still did not dissipate. Song Yu understood his look and said, "I'm fine. I took the medicine. Don't worry."
"Why don't we rush to the next town as soon as possible and let Miss Song have a good rest. We all have martial arts skills, but Miss Song is just an ordinary person. I'm afraid she can't bear it after running around for days." Shen Shuyuan said hesitantly.
"I agree." Ji Qiuyue immediately agreed.
Fu Zhenghong also said, "Then let's get on the road. It takes about half an hour to ride to the next town."
"No need, I'm really fine. I've already taken the medicine. You don't believe me, but you also believe in the ghost doctor's medicine?" Song Yu didn't want to delay everyone's progress.
And she really felt that there was nothing wrong with her.
Ye Shuangbai also said leisurely at this moment: "My pills are not elixirs. They can only cure diseases, not maintain health."
"Master!" Song Yu shouted.
"That's it, Ayu, you and I will ride on the same horse." After Qingling said that, he picked up Song Yu without saying anything and walked towards the horse.
