After sending away Du Yuanruo, Pei Qian finally looked at Lin Suisui, who was standing at the side. “Madam Liu, since you’re the first to discover the sick person, you should naturally take responsibility for this matter.”
I’m not proficient in medicine, but I know how terrifying this plague is. Since you took the initiative to tell me, can you resolve it?!”
“Yes, but I’m afraid I can’t help you much.”
Lin Suisui lowered her eyes. She had experienced many the plague before, so she naturally knew how scary they were. She also knew what to do to minimize the impact and damage.
But that was only if people listened to her.
“Everyone in the refugee camp, from refugees to officials, soldiers, and even me, will listen to your orders! If anyone violates the order or goes against it, I won’t let them off easily.
In that case, are you willing to accept the order?”
Pei Qian looked at the little girl standing in front of him. His no longer sounded nonchalant or casual. Instead, he was seriously entrusting her with the task.
Lin Suisui took two steps back and bowed seriously. Then, she said word by word, “I accept the military order!”
Military orders were like mountains!
Lin Suisui knew very well that by accepting this order, she was actually putting her life on the line! If there was any mistake, she definitely wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility!
However, this wasn’t the first time she had received a military order to take over treatment during the plague!
“The entire camp needs to be divided into two isolation areas. One is to accommodate those who have already fallen ill, and the other is to isolate those who have interacted with the patients.
I have a prescription here. The herbs on it can be found in the nearby forest. Please arrange for people to go up the mountain to search for these herbs. When they come back, boil them according to the prescription so that all the refugees in the refugee camp will have enough medicine to drink three times a day!
“In addition, please let the doctor come out and screen the refugees in the refugee camp as soon as possible. We’ll isolate those refugees who are starting to show symptoms of fever to prevent them from spreading the disease further.”
Lin Suisui spoke very quickly as she told Pei Qian everything that needed to be prepared. Of course, she also requested for the refugees who had died of illness to be cremated immediately!
Not only the remains, but the things that the patients had used also had to be burned.
The area used to isolate patients also had to be strictly guarded. Without orders from above, no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission, nor were they allowed to interact with the outside world.
All these instructions were quickly arranged in an orderly manner. Although the refugees in the refugee camp were flustered when they found out about this matter, because of the quick intervention of the soldiers, those who caused trouble were quickly suppressed and punished to serve as examples. Although the remaining refugees were afraid, they didn’t dare to resist and could only listen to orders obediently.
After all, there was still a chance of survival if they listened to orders now, but if they caused trouble again…
The corpses of the few people who had just been hung on the wooden rack beside them were still dripping with blood…
The soldiers below were handling the matters in the refugee camp, but at this moment, everyone in Pei Qian’s main tent was in trouble because of another matter.
It was easy to deal with these matters outside, but it wasn’t a solution. The most important thing was to quickly find a way to treat the plague!
Although Pei Qian had already arranged for someone to send a letter to the nearest city to ask for help, he actually knew very well that unless he went over personally, those local officials probably wouldn’t send a single doctor even if everyone here died!
Moreover, escorting refugees to the north to settle down had always been closely monitored by the royal court because it involved the livelihood of the people. Now that such a thing had happened, it was hard to guarantee that those old people wouldn’t cause trouble!
So, what should he do now?!
“I’ll go.” Lin Suisui walked out of the corner she had been standing in. She was abnormally calm and composed, as if she was just going out for a stroll or a meal.
“I’ll go treat those refugees who are already sick and see if I can find a cure as soon as possible.”
Lin Suisui wasn’t acting on impulse. She had experienced the plague too many times. It wasn’t that she hadn’t experienced an even more terrifying plague. She understood that at such a time, they were actually fighting for time with Hades.
The earlier they found a cure, the earlier this crisis would be resolved!
“Nonsense! You only know some medical skills. You’re not a doctor!” Pei Qian subconsciously rejected Lin Suisui’s decision. As he scolded Lin Suisui, he didn’t forget to turn to look at the medical officers standing at the side. The disdain and killing intent in his eyes were obvious. “I didn’t expect that there would be you cowardly trash in the entourage this time!
Madam Liu does not receive a salary from the Imperial Court. A mere woman has the courage to enter the plague area to find a way to treat people’s illnesses, but you guys, as men, only want to avoid danger and shirk responsibility!
“I think you guys don’t have to be men anymore. Just be castrated!”
The four medical officers were shocked and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
They didn’t think that Pei Qian was deliberately scaring them. He was really capable of doing that!
“Prince, the plague are different. If these medical officials don’t have experience in treating the plague, they might not be of much use even if they go.
“I’ll go. I’ll record the situation every day and give the report to the medical officers. This way, everyone can adjust the treatment prescription according to the development of the illness. This method is much more efficient than everyone going in.”
Lin Suisui wasn’t pleading for mercy for these trembling medical officials, but the plague was contagious. If it wasn’t handled well, the final outcome might be even worse.
It was better to let these pedantic doctors, who were good at preaching, deal with some trivial matters regarding the selection of herbs. It was better than them going in and getting infected, and her having to take care of them.
Seeing how insistent Lin Suisui was, although Pei Qian was still a little worried, he knew that what she said was reasonable. However, if she really wanted to go to that dangerous place alone…
“It’s too dangerous for you to go in alone!” Pei Qian frowned. Although he had relented a little, he still didn’t completely let go of his worries.
“I’ll accompany her!” Before Pei Qian could finish speaking, he saw Lu Ze stride in from outside the tent. He stood beside Lin Suisui and said to Pei Qian word by word, “She’s my wife. I’ll naturally accompany her wherever she goes!”
