Chapter 307 The Situation Escalates
If we consider the number of people who saw a doctor yesterday as ten, then today it would be hundreds or even thousands.
At the current rate, even if Dr. Jiang worked himself to death at the consultation table, he still wouldn't be able to finish seeing all the patients.
The three of them couldn't squeeze in at all; if they moved even slightly, they would be mistaken for cutting in line.
Someone cut in line!
With a shout, everyone in front turned to look, their expressions determined not to give way.
Yu Lian stopped Xiao Xu from arguing with the people around him and compromised, saying, "Let's take the long way and go through the back door."
The three returned the way they came and drove to the back door. To their surprise, it was also crowded with people. Zhao Qing stood at the door and urged them to leave.
But no one took a step.
Upon seeing Yu Lian, Zhao Qing felt like he had seen a savior: "Boss, you've finally arrived! These people won't listen to advice, Doctor Jiang is almost exhausted, and they're still causing us trouble here."
Yu Lian walked through the crowd to the door, then turned to look at those eyes that were searching for hope.
"I'm sorry, we're just a small pharmacy. If we let you go through the back door, the patients queuing at the front will see it too. We only have one doctor, and if you don't queue at the front, you won't be able to get in through here. Everyone wants to see a doctor, everyone wants to live, and I hope you understand what I mean."
"But...but we really can't wait. Even if we can't see a doctor, can't we at least get some medicine? Most of the people in our community have collapsed; if we don't get medicine soon, they'll die!"
Xiao Xu pressed on, asking, "Isn't this disease only contagious to children?"
"Yes! At first, everyone thought that was the case. But starting yesterday afternoon, many adults have been infected, and the illness has spread rapidly, even more severely than that of children."
"Jasmine, Xiao Xu, you two stay at the pharmacy and help out. It would be best if you could bring in more people. I'll go with this man to take a look."
"Sister Nian, I'll go."
Yu Lian shook her head. Only she could do this; no one else could.
"I'll go with you."
"No. Didn't you two hear me? This disease is now spreading widely among adults. Protect yourselves."
"Aren't you human?"
Yu Lian didn't have time to argue with Jasmine: "I have a way to protect myself, stop talking nonsense. Xiao Xu, go and arrange what I just told you. I've already prepared everything; it's at my house."
"Okay, Sister Nian, I'll go right away."
Yu Lian told the others to disperse, and she followed the couple to check on the most serious situation.
On the way, Yu Lian learned the basic situation from the couple, as well as the severity of the situation in several nearby areas.
"It's strange, actually. The west side of the city should have been the worst affected, but it's been slowly getting better since yesterday. Boss, you own a pharmacy, is it possible that this illness can actually be cured if you just tough it out?"
Yu Lian shook her head. It's no longer a simple matter of whether it's a virus or an infectious disease.
Even if infected with some undiscovered virus, it would be impossible to achieve such a rapid rate of evolution.
She had to resort to conspiracy theories once.
But there is no evidence right now, and it's just her conjecture, so it can't prove anything.
"Brother, you just said you were the village chief?"
"Yes, I am the village chief of Xiahe Village. My home is in the south of the city."
"Hold on tight, you two. This is a matter of life and death, I have to speed things up."
Half an hour later, Yu Lian looked at the medical staff shuttling back and forth and the bodies that had already been carried away, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.
There are officials everywhere here, so she can't be too conspicuous, lest she bring trouble upon herself.
"Village chief, where is your village's well? Where do you usually fetch water from?"
"It's either the well next to the big locust tree, or the spring by the mountain."
"Take this and go boil a pot of water. Once the water boils, boil it for half an hour, then give it to the seriously ill first."
Seeing the green powder with its herbal scent, the village chief, though unfamiliar with it, thanked Yu Lian and did as she instructed.
They had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless. So many doctors came, but none of them could do anything but delay the patient's death.
The village chief and his wife got right to work, setting up a large pot under the locust tree. During breaks, the village chief's wife would beat a gong and drum, signaling able-bodied people to bring bowls and collect their medicine from under the locust tree.
While everyone's attention was on the pot, Yu Lian poured some spiritual spring water into the well.
Then he followed the village chief's wife to distribute the medicine.
In no time, a lot of people arrived.
However, it was interrupted right at the beginning.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! You guys are crazy! Didn't I tell you not to believe in folk remedies?!"
A man in a white coat appeared in everyone's sight.
What I feared most came to pass.
Fortunately, Yu Lian had spoken to the village chief beforehand, and they reached a consensus on this matter.
"Oh dear, Dr. Zhong, you scared me to death. This is bamboo tip tea to clear heat. Didn't you tell us to drink more boiled water? But many children don't like it. I was worried and thought of making something flavorful, so I added some white sugar. Try a bowl yourself, it's very sweet."
The man, known as Doctor Zhong, picked up a bowl and smelled it, his nose enveloped in the fresh scent of bamboo. He took a sip, and indeed, it tasted only bland water.
"That scared me to death! Everyone, remember, never believe in any folk remedies or unproven treatments; they'll only make your condition worse!"
The doctor left shortly afterward. The condition was serious, and they already had very little time to rest.
After distributing the medicine, Yu Lian asked the village chief to cook another large pot.
"Boss Yu, you really have a way with things. Otherwise, Dr. Zhong would have smashed this big iron pot of mine."
Yu Lian was curious. Logically speaking, the village chief should have trusted Doctor Zhong, so she wondered why he trusted her.
Aren't you afraid I'm a fraud?
"Hey, if you were a conman, there wouldn't be so many people in this alley. Besides, what kind of conman drives around in a car, gives medicine without charging a penny?"
"Brother, Dr. Zhong is right. You must remind everyone not to rush into treatment or take medicine indiscriminately when they are sick. This medicine is a family recipe passed down through generations, so please do not reveal it to anyone. To outsiders, it should still be the same as what I just said, it is bamboo tip tea."
"Don't worry, my wife and I will keep it a secret."
Yu Lian pretended to go to the car to get something, and when she returned to her space, she quickly picked up many fallen leaves from the bamboo by the spiritual spring.
They ground it into a large bag of powder and handed it over to the village chief and his wife.
"Village chief, just make sure everyone takes one bowl of this water on time these days, no more. Also, remember to drink plenty of well water. The spring is open-air, so drink less of it."
"Okay, please take care. Once the situation stabilizes, I will definitely have everyone come to thank you in person!"
Yu Lian told them not to worry about it and quickly left Xiahe Village.
On the way back, Yu Lian turned on the car radio.
Upon opening the app, I heard related news reports—some data and warnings to citizens.
Most importantly, several main roads in Yuncheng, including the train station, are now blocked, making it impossible to enter or leave.
This put her in a difficult position.
The medicine couldn't get in, and neither could the professors. Her guess needed to be confirmed by the two professors.
Without finding the source, you can't treat the problem effectively.
