Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Are you all sure you want to stay in this area?”
“Yes, it’s too cold here. Well probably die here in the cold wilderness if we don’t go down the mountains now.”
“Alright, just in case, I’ll have to let the doctor check you all and ensure there’s no disease before 1 can take you in. You can discuss it among yourselves.
“If you agree, then line up and wait for the doctor to examine you one by one. If you disagree, you can only go back into the mountains again.”
Hu Chun didn’t feel anything was wrong when he heard this. Instead, he admired Tian Jingzhong very much, as only an official who took human lives seriously was a good one.
Moreover, they had been in the mountains for nearly three months. Who knew if they were sick? It was a good opportunity to have a checkup done. Those who were sick could be diagnosed early, and those who weren’t could have peace of mind.
After a discussion with a few elders, everyone quickly lined up.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui called out the two brothers, Qian Jiaxi and Qian Jiale. He took out three masks from the first aid kit that Zhou Ying had added extra padding to and put them on.
Gu Chengrui then asked the two brothers to use a pair of pliers to hold the cotton ball and disinfect the refugees’ wrists while he took their pulses.
Those with a cold sat on one side, while those with other illnesses sat on the other.
Fortunately, no serious epidemic diseases were detected, but most suffered from a bad cold. Some were mild, while others were more serious. The serious ones had already gone delirious with a fever.
After disinfecting his hand with medical alcohol, Gu Chengrui told Tian Jingzhong about the situation. “They can go down the mountains but shouldn’t stay with the others for now. We can only let them mix after their illnesses are over.”
“Is the medicine in your clinic enough for them?”
“It should be enough. If it isn’t, we can only use folk prescriptions for the not-so-serious ones.”
“Alright, let’s go down the mountains.” After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he informed Hu Chun, and everyone was divided into two teams as they went down the mountain.
However, they were not allowed to enter the village. They were instead asked to borrow a few large tents from the military camp and stay in an open space.
As for the beds, Gu Chengrui gathered batches of straw and sterilized them. The blankets were either taken from richer families or the military.
They ate mainly the food they brought and the noodles they bought with their collective money.
On the other end, after Gu Chengrui went down the mountain, he took out the medicinal herbs in the house and asked the village chief to bring all the clay pots and medicine jars into the village. Doctor Luo directed everyone to start brewing the medicine.
Meanwhile, he brought the blood of the most seriously ill person into the interspace and tested it. After confirming that it carried some virus, he immediately went to the clinic to get the medicine and change the prescription.
It was already nighttime after his busy day.
Zhou Ying looked at his tired face and said, “Hurry up and eat your dinner, then go to bed early.”
“No, I’m not clean. I’d better go into the interspace to clean my clothes and take a hot shower.” Gu Chengrui shook his head.
The flu was no joke, and he didn’t want to infect her.
“That’s true.” Zhou Ying closed the door and let go of Er Zhuang. Then, she took him into her interspace.
After disinfecting his clothes, she threw them in the washing machine.
She washed her hands, went out of her interspace, and brought in the dinner she had cooked. Finally, she used a pressure cooker to cook a pot of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
After Gu Chengrui finished cleaning up, the white fungus and lotus seed soup was also ready. After the two of them had a comfortable meal, Zhou Ying said, “You should go to bed early. I’ll take care of the animals in the space..”
