On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 19: Drive away the Meng family’s ancestors and grandchildren
  Ye Hongchang agreed. In the evening, he gathered all the people from each family who were not sick and told them about the matter. He asked everyone to find another place to rest. It would be best to go separately for the next few days.

Hearing this, others were naturally worried, as the plague was not a minor disease.

Someone said, "How can this work? My parents are still sick. How can I leave them? What if something happens?"

Ye Hongchang said, "We have been together for so long, how can we still be separated from each other? Mingchang, your parents and the rest of us will take good care of you."

Song Mingchang thought that his family was not close to the Ye family, but had a good relationship with Village Chief Gou, and he was a little worried that Ye Hongchang would hold a grudge.

"How to take care of them? According to Brother Ye, the people left behind are all sick. We are all sick ourselves, how can we take care of others?"

"I will stay, don't worry, I won't leave anyone behind." Ye Hongchang assured him.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Uncle Song, this disease is going to be contagious now. We still have many people who are not sick. It is already difficult to treat. If everyone is sick, how will we treat it? Let you separate now, no? We said we won’t be together anymore, but we’ll cure the disease first and then talk about it.”

Song Mingchang said, "Then you have to tell me how to cure this disease. The plague will kill many people. If it can't be cured, I might as well stay with my parents to accompany them." On the last journey, I don’t want to be without them around before they pass away.”

Another person said, "Mingchang, Xiangxiang has made it very clear. We already have a small number of people, so why should we take the initiative to join in with some people? Let's just listen to Brother Ye. It's not like we won't be able to see you again."

Song Mingchang mainly did not believe that anyone could cure the plague. The plague had not spread in Tongxin Village, but everyone had heard of it. The disease was very scary.

People say that only a few people in a village can survive, and as long as they are sick, they will never get better.

In the past, the imperial court sent people to govern the city but couldn't cure a few of them. Now they are fleeing famine. How can they be cured?
  Is it possible that she really relies on this little girl Ye Xiangxiang?

He felt that if this disease was really a plague, his parents would definitely not survive, so he might as well just stay here and watch.

So what if I die? Anyway, today's life is worse than death.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Uncle Song, your parents are still alive, but you expect them to die. What's the point? Now let's not waste time. We have to make arrangements tonight, and we have to find water tomorrow. "

Song Mingchang said, "Let me make it clear. I don't believe this disease can be cured, so I won't leave. I want to stay with my parents."

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Uncle Song, you are not a doctor, how do you know this disease cannot be cured?"

"You are not doctors either." Song Mingchang patted his thigh and said, "I am the only son of my parents. They raised me with great difficulty. How can I leave them at this time?"

Ye Xiangxiang had no choice but to say, "Although I'm not a doctor, I know some medical theories and some medicinal materials, and I can always be as useful as a doctor. If I hadn't relied on me to collect medicines along the way, we wouldn't have been able to get through the difficulties several times. Has Uncle Song forgotten?"

"I will try my best to treat everyone, and please trust me." Song Mingchang snorted softly, "Believe you? You are a little girl, how can you expect me to trust you? There are just some traumas along the way, accidental bumps and bruises. Being cured is nothing, but can you really cure this plague?"

He took this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction, "Let me tell you, if you hadn't brought those two people back, we wouldn't have contracted the plague. Wasn't it always fine before? Why did everyone suddenly get sick? "

After hearing this, Ye Hongshun couldn't help but defend the Meng family's ancestors and grandchildren, "Old Song, you are just talking nonsense. The Meng family's ancestors and grandchildren have been walking with us for more than ten days. Nothing happened before. Why? Can we say they brought it?"

Song Mingchang squatted aside and said, "I don't know that. I only know one thing. Anyway, it was fine before and there was no plague. It has been there since they came. They must have brought it."

Ye Xiangxiang could no longer hold back his anger and explained seriously, "Uncle Song, there was no plague before. That's because the weather was not so hot. You have seen how hot it is these days. How can you blame them?"

"Then it's not like we didn't encounter hot weather when we were in Tongxin Village, and we didn't hear about any plagues. Now you're still making excuses." Song Mingchang was even more dissatisfied.

"Humph, you said it was for everyone's consideration. I think you just saved those two people for yourselves and to save the child in the belly of Hongshun's wife. As a result, you brought a plague and harmed so many of us. Now you still want to let us go. I believe you."

Ye Xiangxiang raised his voice, "Can't you see how many people died along the way? The weather is hot, and with the bodies of these people, how can we not spread the plague? We are already very busy now, and we don't have time to waste time with you here. Oral and tongue problems that can be cured will become untreatable by then.”

She ignored Song Mingchang and said directly to everyone, "Uncles and brothers, although I am not a doctor, I promise you that I will do my best to treat your family members."

"There are still a lot of things to do right now. We don't even have water, so how can we make medicine? So those who are not sick must protect themselves. Whether other people can survive has a lot to do with you. We must divide the work tomorrow. To cooperate, we have to find water and food, and we have to guard against sneak attacks by refugees. How can we all fall ill at this time?"

As she said this, the others nodded.

Ye Shaodong expressed his position, "Xiangxiang, this is the only thing we can do now. I will listen to your arrangements. I will go find water and come back tomorrow. My mother and siblings are sick, so please be more considerate."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Everyone, whether they are members of the Ye family or not, I will not leave them alone. After running away for so long, we have become a family."

The others had no objection, and Ye Xiangxiang said to Song Mingchang, "Uncle Song, it's not a big deal if you stay here. It's just that there is one less person who can work, and one more person who needs to be taken care of."

"It's just that you know that this disease is dangerous, but you really don't want to work hard to cure it? Don't you want to take Grandpa Song and Grandma Wu to live in Dayan? If you want your whole family to die here, I have nothing to say, but it's not worth it for you. .”

Song Mingchang was still touched. He was afraid that his parents were not from the Ye family and would be left behind by them, so he was unwilling to leave.

After hearing what they said, I felt more relieved.

After he calmed down a little, he felt that what Ye Xiangxiang said made sense. He stood up and said, "Okay, I believe you. I will go out to find water tomorrow, but the grandfather and grandson must be allowed to leave. Who knows if they will have any problems."
