311 The Person Most Likely to Get Sick
Huang Rongfa quickly nodded, then gave Tie Daniu a bowl of soup and drank a bowl of it himself.
The soup did not taste very good. After the two men finished drinking it, their faces twisted.
“Uncle Daniu, logically speaking, this medicine will prevent your condition from getting worse. If you feel any discomfort or feel better, tell me immediately. It doesn’t matter even if it’s just a small matter. Just tell me,” Gu Qingxue said, she also took care of the acne on Madam Liu’s limbs and brought a bowl of soup for Madam Liu to take.
Madam Liu was completely at Gu Qingxue’s mercy. After drinking the soup, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did Gu Qingxue wash her hands and take a bowl of soup for herself.
“Lady Gu, does this soup have the effect of preventing the plague?” Huang Rongfa asked expectantly.
Gu Qingxue shook her head. “I’m not sure, but let the people in An Pharmacy drink a bowl before leaving. Have the princess and Miao Yin gone back yet?”
Huang Rongfa nodded. “The princess wasn’t willing to leave at first. She was worried about Miss Gu’s safety. She said that she would come back to pick up Lady Gu tomorrow.”
Gu Qingxue raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. “I can’t go back for the time being.”
The plague had already started, and she was still in close contact with the patients. It was impossible for her to go back home with a body full of the virus.
Thinking of the four children waiting for her at home, Gu Qingxue’s heart could not help but clench.
Before the plague ended, it was very likely that she would never see the children again.
Thinking of how the children usually clung to her, and how they would cry if she did not see them for a day, her heart felt as if it was pinched by a big hand. It was so painful that she almost couldn’t breathe.
If it was possible, she really wanted to go back immediately and stay by the children’s side.
However, for the safety of them and her grandmother, she could only endure it.
“Don’t let the princess’ men in tomorrow, and try not to let the people from An Pharmacy go out. Shopkeeper Huang, please ask the princess to send over the food and medicinal herbs every day tomorrow. When the time comes, I will make a list. You can help me pass it on,” Gu Qingxue said.
Huang Rongfa looked at Gu Qingxue and asked, “Lady Gu, are you leaving?”
“After tonight, I’ll be able to confirm whether the decoction can temporarily suppress the illness. Once it’s possible, I’ll make a trip to Tie Family Village,” Gu Qingxue said, she raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
She was a little worried about this matter.
She only hoped that Madam Liu did not have much contact with the other villagers of Tie Family Village and did not infect too many people.
“Speaking of which, where did this disease come from? Why is it so aggressive?” Huang Rongfa asked in confusion.
Gu Qingxue shook her head. “I’m not sure either. The most important thing now is to find the source of the cadaveric rash. Shopkeeper Huang, even if I leave, you have to control the people of An Pharmacy. Don’t let them leave without permission.”
Huang Rongfa glanced at the frail Madam Liu and was once again forced to realize how difficult it was to deal with this illness called corpse rash.
“Lady Gu, you have to be very careful. As a doctor, you have close contact with the patients, so you are the most likely person to get sick,” Huang Rongfa said to Gu Qingxue worriedly.
Gu Qingxue smiled. “I have other protective measures here. I’ll explain to you after I study them. I’ll leave this to you first. I’ll come back to check on the situation two hours later.”
