The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 139 Chen Hu

"What does it mean to send all the patients to one place, Little Stone? Are the government officials going to burn them alive again?"

Inside a room, Little Stone and several other people were discussing the situation.

“No way! I will never hand my mother over. I watched them burn my father to death.”

"Those corrupt officials are utterly depraved!"

The stone that came seeking help immediately ran into a wall. Nowadays, the people of Wutai County have no trust in the government and will not listen to their arrangements at all.

What's more, that corrupt official Yue Heqiu had lied to them in the first place, saying he wanted everyone to gather so he could treat those with fevers, but in the end he took them away and burned them to death.

"Stone, have you forgotten how your parents died?! You still believe what they say?!"

These words stirred up memories for Shi Tou, reminding him of how his parents were dragged away, and his eyes welled up with tears.

He paused for a moment, thought about Lin Yan and the other two, and felt that they really didn't seem like swindlers. He shook his head, "No, they are not government officials."

"How do you know it's not?"

“They really came to see a doctor, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it…” Little Stone’s words became weaker and weaker.

Yes. Why should he believe them? What if they really are just trying to trick them into leaving? What will happen to these people then?

“I don’t think they’re lying.” A deep voice came from inside the room.

A man with a handsome face, a strong build, and bright eyes came out carrying a bowl of medicine he had just finished drinking.

"Brother Chen Hu!" Little Stone called out when he saw him, his body relaxed, and he trusted the man's eyes completely.

"Tiger, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Hu lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Ever since our last commotion, Yue Heqiu and Chen Li have never come out again. They are afraid of death and dare not show their faces. It has been the registrar who has been in charge of coordinating disaster relief."

"Right now, all they want is to leave Wutai County; they have no interest in causing us any trouble."

"That's true, but I'm really uneasy. What if something happens?"

Chen Hu said, "How about this, I'll go check on these people first and find out what's going on. Shi Tou, you take me there."

"Okay, okay." Little Stone nodded obediently.

Chen Hu was the leader of this group of people from the epidemic area. His mother had also contracted the disease, and he stayed behind to take care of her. If it weren't for Chen Hu leading the resistance, many more people would have been burned to death by those two corrupt officials.

…………

Lin Yan took out a distillation device from her spatial storage. She had made many sets of this, from the initial simplified version to the custom-made wooden product.

She needs a lot of strong alcohol, and although there is some in the room, it's not enough for this situation.

"Sister! Sister!" Little Stone ran in.

I saw that Lin Yan was holding a strange device.

"what happened?"

Little Stone said hesitantly, "They all refuse to come! The magistrate lied to everyone like this before; they suspect you are government officials."

Lin Yan lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She knew what Xiao Shitou meant by "deception". "I am not a government official. That county magistrate is still hiding in the county office and dares not come out."

"I know! But they won't believe me. What should I do!" Little Stone stamped his feet anxiously.

Just as Lin Yan was about to offer him some words of comfort, she noticed a tall, muscular man entering from behind.

"this is?"

Shi Tou introduced, "This is Brother Chen Hu, and I..."

Little Stone suddenly leaned closer to Lin Yan and whispered, "Everyone listens to him."

Lin Yan understood; it seemed this was the leader, coming to test her.

"Young lady, are you the doctor?" Chen Hu asked with a serious expression and some doubt.

"I'm just an apprentice, the doctor is inside," Lin Yan pointed behind her.

“However, now it’s not just about treating patients anymore. The epidemic is spreading very quickly, and I suspect there’s something wrong with the water you’re drinking. I’m asking you to gather together to separate the patients and prevent further infection, and also because we need those of you who are still able to work to help with disinfection and preparing medicine.”

“There are only three of us, but there are over a hundred patients in this courtyard alone, not to mention the other patients in each of your families. Three people are definitely not enough.”

"If you're not comfortable with that, you can arrange for them to do it."

Chen Hu nodded, agreeing with her point. He glanced inside and saw an old man with white hair talking to two senior doctors, who were nodding excitedly.

Chen Hu felt a little more at ease. The two old doctors had been there ever since they gathered and had been treating them ever since.

He looked at Lin Yan and asked, "What do you need us to do?"

"First, we found that some of these sick people were infected with an epidemic, while others only had a cold. Now we need to treat them separately."

"second……"

"What? A cold!!" Chen Hu's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

“Yes, it’s a cold.” Lin Yan stared at him intently, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"What do you mean? Then...then my parents don't just have a cold either! Waaah..." Little Stone couldn't hold back his tears and started crying.

Chen Hu looked up at the sky, took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "There's no use talking about this now. Let's solve the current problem first."

Lin Yan nodded, "I think so too. I'll have our people outside keep an eye on the county government office so they can't escape. Once everyone's illnesses are cured, we'll settle accounts with those two."

"That's right," Chen Hu said through gritted teeth. He truly couldn't imagine how many innocent people had died.

"I'll organize the people. What do you need and what do you need to do? Give me a list."

Lin Yan nodded, quite satisfied with his decisive and efficient personality.

"Prepare several large pots. All utensils in the ward, such as clothes, bowls, and chopsticks, need to be boiled and disinfected. Tell those who are not infected to do the same."

We also need a large pot to boil the medicine, and since there are many patients, we need someone to help.

We came prepared with some medicine, including mugwort. You can organize people to burn mugwort in various places here to use the smoke to dispel the pathogens and inhibit the growth of germs.

Patients with the disease may vomit; the vomit should be cleaned up promptly and then disinfected.

I asked the yamen runners outside for lime, but I didn't know how much I could get. I sprinkled lime water inside and outside the houses, on the streets, and other places to disinfect them. I had to do this every day.

If there isn't enough lime, use strong liquor for disinfection; I will prepare that.

Regarding treatment, we can only start with treating the cold and flu. Our doctor is still researching treatments for epidemic diseases, and we'll need to experiment in the early stages; we can't guarantee the results.

"Okay." Chen Hu nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yan's arrangements were well-organized, and she seemed to have a good understanding of the epidemic. Seeing how calmly she made the arrangements, Chen Hu felt more confident.

It's better for someone to come and treat them than for them to just sit here and wait to die.
