Chapter 417 Boss Lu
Xia Wanniang didn't care whether Boss Lu followed her or not, she just asked Qiu He to find the prescription so that it would be slower.
Boss Lu came to the street outside Qiu He's house and saw many people queuing up with bowls in their hands.
He walked up to a person curiously and asked, "What are you doing here?"
A commoner looked at him and said, "Get the medicine."
"Will it work?" Boss Lu looked towards the front of the team uncertainly.
The common people pointed to the people at the front who were helping him and said, "Go and see for yourself. They are the first ones to drink the medicine."
Boss Lu walked towards the place he mentioned and saw that the pustules on many people's bodies were not as scary as before. "Are you feeling better?"
The common people were giving people medicine soup. When they saw Boss Lu, they asked, "It's much better now. I don't itch anymore. Master Qiu said that if I drink it for a few more days, the pustules will scab over."
Boss Lu saw Xia Wanniang walk into the house and quickly chased after her: "Can you really cure all diseases?"
Xia Wanniang stopped and turned to look at Boss Lu: "You can choose not to believe it and continue to buy expensive medicine." After saying that, she ignored Boss Lu and walked towards the main room.
Shopkeepers Hong and Chang had already returned and were waiting for her in the main hall: "Mrs. Xiao."
Xia Wanniang nodded and found a seat to sit down: "How many medicinal materials does Jishitang have now?"
Shopkeeper Hong was furious when he talked about this: "We have nothing left. Everything was robbed, and they even beat up the doctor in our shop."
Xia Wanniang: "Are you okay?"
Shopkeeper Hong: "The injury is not serious. He will be fine after a period of rest. But the herbs required for the prescription are a bit difficult to obtain. I am afraid that we cannot get enough herbs from other places."
Boss Lu couldn't sit or stand, so he stood in the main room awkwardly.
Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "Boss Lu, please sit down."
After Boss Lu sat down, he placed the medicine in his hand on the table: "Look!"
Xia Wanniang opened the paper package and said, "Manager Hong, these medicines can inhibit the progression of some diseases, but they can't cure them."
Shopkeeper Hong reached out and took the opened paper package and began to check the herbs inside: "These herbs are somewhat similar to our prescriptions, but the dosage has been greatly reduced, and there are also some ineffective herbs mixed in."
Qiu He walked in at this time: "Master Xu has imprisoned Li Tongpan and his fellow yamen runners in the prison, and has now brought people to search and confiscate the medicine shop under his name."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "If that's the case, there's no need for us to intervene." After that, she looked at Shopkeeper Hong and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, please see if the doctor in the pharmacy can still help and prepare to treat the people of Maocheng."
Shopkeeper Hong nodded: "I'll go right away."
Shopkeeper Chang also stood up with a smile: "I will go and help too."
Xia Wanniang looked at Qiu He and said, "Give Boss Lu some medicine and call all the people who can work to the government office to help!"
Qiu He looked at Boss Lu: "Boss Lu, please come with me."
Boss Lu was delighted: "Thank you."
With the help of Xu Li and Fang Jianan, Maocheng was able to quickly separate the seriously ill patients into those with mild or severe conditions. As for the dead civilians, they were all burned in a centralized location.
Although everyone was reluctant, they also knew there was nothing they could do, and they endured the grief as they saw their loved ones off one by one.
Aunt Xiao and others also went out to help, boiling medicine and administering it to the people.
Several children also went to help boil and apply the medicine. Many stalls for distributing the medicine were set up throughout the city to ensure that every citizen could have a drink of the medicine.
Xu Li hurried in to find her: "There are not enough medicinal materials in the city, and there are not enough disinfectants either."
"I'll go to the yamen with you." Xia Wanniang followed Xu Li to the yamen and took out all the medicinal materials, disinfectants and sprayers from the space in the yamen warehouse.
She looked at the amount and said, "Tell me if it's not enough. I'll go see the patients first."
Xu Li nodded, and immediately called the soldiers guarding the city and took out all the medicinal materials, disinfectants and sprayers.
Shao Zi and his men have been to every village, and now a team of soldiers has been left in each village. The blockade will only be lifted after the epidemic is completely cured, and the soldiers will return to the northwest military camp to report.
