The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 70 Lettering
The county magistrate came to the big pharmacy in person.

Then I saw Runtu.

"Runtu, this is your property?"

"I learned some medical skills. I formulated two medicines, Banlangen and Zhixuesan."

"Okay, okay. It's really a blessing for Kuaiji."

Such a difficult matter can be solved unexpectedly.

A mountain in the heart of the county magistrate was finally able to let go of this matter.

Arrange for the yamen servants in the county to take medicine in the warehouse.

"How much silver do you need?"

Runtu: "No money, it should be donated by a big pharmacy."

The yamen servants began to load the medicine.

The carriage was prepared in advance.

After packing the medicine, set off towards Dashan Village.

This is still a relatively large village.

But there is no one in sight on the road today.

After a while, I finally looked at people.

There are several wearing white clothes, offering sacrifices.

Three people died in the village now.

The numbers are still increasing with the number of days.

A cry was heard.

"Could it really be gone?"

"The dead man who sees the sky, is this God's punishment?"

"I heard from an old man in the past that there was an epidemic in one village, and the whole family of the village was wiped out, and there was no living."

The atmosphere in the village is rather sad.

There are several houses that have already hung up the white silk.

Not only the white silk, but also the yellow talisman pasted on the door, and the willow branches inserted inside and outside the house.

Yamen found the local patriarch.

"This is the medicinal material in the county that can cure the disease."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you, old man? Take the medicinal materials and give them to all the sick people. It will be cured within half a day."

"Thank you, thank you, finally there is medicine."

The old village chief was very happy. If he didn't come again, his village would be wiped out.

Immediately began to distribute the medicine.

"Why are you here? The patriarch asked me to bring medicine to you."

The person who came to deliver the medicine was also in charge of some things in the village.

"Medicine? I've taken the medicine several times. Does it work? I think my mother-in-law won't be able to resist tonight."

"What about your man?"

"He went to Shaoxing."

"Auntie is so ill, why did he go outside?"

"Shaoxing is going to execute death row criminals. Didn't an expert say that steamed buns with human blood can cure lung disease? If you want fresh ones, you have to soak the steamed buns. My man is afraid of pain and dare not bleed so much. This is not going to happen. Shaoxing, it’s time to come back.”

When it was the worst, he would cough up blood, so I thought it must be a lung disease.

"Would that work?"

"Always try not to."

"Take the medicine I brought. This is the medicine that people in the city take. I heard that the epidemic in the city has been cured, so I took this medicine."

"How can it be so easy to heal? Everyone is saying that it is not a disease, but an evil, and ordinary medicine can't cure it at all."

"Do you still want to cure your mother-in-law? The patriarch ordered that everyone in the village who is sick should drink medicine."

"Okay, I'll cook."

"No need to suffer, go get some hot water, soak it and drink it."

The treatment method of Banlangen is very simple.

This daughter-in-law is still filial.

Busy on and off.

Fortunately, one of her family fell ill.

An older person fell ill.

In some families, the entire family fell ill.

That's more trouble.

Just find someone else to take care of it.

Except for close relatives, who would dare to take the risk to take care of such an infectious disease.

Fortunately, this village belongs to the same clan.

The relationship between everyone is pretty good.

I can also take care of it for a while.

Or take turns taking care of it.

When it was time to change shifts, I always wanted to leave immediately, for fear that I would be infected with the disease if it was a little late.

It's fine if you get it yourself, but when you go home and pass it on to your family members, that's very miserable.

"Grandmother, let's drink some medicine."

"Where is Dalang, he hasn't come back yet. Where is the medicine he brought?"

"Mother, this is the medicine given by the patriarch, just drink it and it will be fine."

Hearing that it was the patriarch's arrangement, the old woman drank the medicine.

Many of these years are the way of life of big families.

There are ancestral halls and prestigious patriarchs.

People in the general clan will listen to the patriarch.

In many cases, the words of the patriarch are better arranged than the words of the government.

After all, everyone in a village is relatively familiar.

The yamen servants put the pills in the village and instructed everyone to take the medicine.

After finishing speaking, he left.

After about an hour, the symptoms of those patients were all relieved.

After two or three hours, you can basically walk around freely on the ground.

At this time, the man who bought steamed buns came back from Shaoxing.

"Mom, I brought back the medicine."

A red steamed bun.

There was a lot of blood.

Seeing that his mother could go to the ground, he stayed in place for a while.

Just recover from illness.

Now that the illness is cured, this hard-earned medicine is temporarily put aside.

The disease has lasted for several days in their village.

I have tried various medicines, various ways to ward off evil spirits, and basically tried all kinds of earthen prescriptions, but none of them worked.

By evening, the villagers were all well.

Three people still died in the village, but compared with the whole clan, it was much better.

It can be regarded as good luck.

If this medicine comes a few days later.

It is estimated that there will be more people absent.

Several people coughed up blood.

It is a symptom of the late stage of plague.

When he coughed up blood, he didn't have long to hold on.

Basically, older and weaker people are the majority.

Seeing that the situation in the village has improved, the patriarch finally felt relieved.

This is so scary.

The number of people infected with the disease is increasing every day.

The numbers are also increasing.

One on the first day, three or four on the second day.

On the third day, there were already nearly ten of them.

Multiplied and multiplied.

If the medicine from the county will come in a few days in the evening.

Whether or not their Dashan Village will exist is anyone's guess.

Thinking of this, I thought about sending a plaque to the county magistrate.

There are carpenters in the village.

The patriarch was thinking about what kind of plaque should be given to the county magistrate, and what words should be engraved on it?

The level of the patriarch is not enough, after thinking about it for a while, he came up with someone who loves the people like a son.

Immediately told the carpenter in the village, "Use the best wood to carve the words "Ai Min Ru Zi" on it. If there is no magistrate, we will really be exterminated."

"Patriarch, don't worry. There is no suitable wood now. I still have a piece of longevity wood in my house. Let's chop it up and make a plaque."

Generally speaking, the magistrate of this county is considered a good one.

At least he cares more about the people under his rule.

Although there is a little selfishness here.

After all, within his jurisdiction.

It's good to be able to do that.

Many county officials are donated officials.

Donated to the official, spent a lot of money.

I want to get the money back.

In this way, officials will never think about Qingming.

The carpenter worked overtime.

Is an old carpenter.

Work slowly and meticulously. After the characters are carved, some paint is applied.

　Excellent fairy tales
