Chapter 179: Adding Insult to Injury (1)

"What's wrong Seventeen?"

"Miss, there are a lot of patients outside at once, Childe, they are too busy to come, what should I do?"

Bei Ran followed Seventeen to the lobby, only to see that the huge hall was crowded with several patients, and many were blocked outside the door and couldn't get in at all, and Ji Changkong and Zihui were surrounded by the middle of the patients, and the figures couldn't be seen, only a white and a gray two-cornered clothes were faintly seen shuttling non-stop in it.

Beiran frowned: "I have to find someone to help." Seventeen! Call a few more people, and we will go to each street to see which doctors in the hospital are available, and please come and help. ”

Seventeen should be "yes", and immediately immediately separated from Bei Dye to ask for help.

More than a dozen doctors were invited, and more than a dozen people were busy until late at night, and finally all these people were received, but the ward was full of people, and the floor was set up in each room.

Knot was busy all day, the doctors who came to help were all tired and lay down, a group of people found a place to stay and fell asleep directly, Bei Ran took a blanket and covered them in turn, but found that these people were the only ones who did not see the sky.

She walked through the courtyard and looked around, and finally saw him outside a hospital room, where he was standing by the window, watching the sleeping patients huddled in the room, not knowing what to think.

"Sir."

Ji Changkong turned his head: "Why don't you go to rest at such a late hour?" ”

Beiran smiled: "I should ask you this, right, I've been busy all day, why haven't you rested?" ”

Ji Changkong exhaled slightly: "I can't sleep." ”

Bei Ran stood beside him and looked at the people as he did, "Sir, are you wondering why the number of patients has suddenly skyrocketed?" Seeing that he was silent, Beiran said again: "Actually, I don't think it's strange at all. ”

"Why?"

"I have observed these days and found that since a certain day, the number of patients who come to the clinic on that day is about twice as many as the day before, which means that the disease can be transmitted from one to two, two to four, and the number of people is naturally terrible as the days go by. And later, when the basic information of the patients was registered, many people from outside the city were added, and even from neighboring towns, which shows that the epidemic has also spread outside the city. ”

"And what do you think?"

"I think this should be related to the characteristics of the large flow of people in Tongcheng, if you want to control the growth rate of the epidemic, you must cut off the flow of people, so that people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out, so that the infected people are only in this city, and it will be much easier to treat."

Ji Changkong was happy, just like he thought, but if you want to control the flow of people, the best way is to close the city, but they can't do this, they still have to have someone with power to come out.

Early the next morning, when Bei Ran made breakfast and sent it to Ji Changkong, she found that he was not in the room, she came out of his house with hot porridge, and happened to meet Nineteen who went to the back kitchen to boil medicine, so she said: "Nineteen, have you seen Mr.?" ”

Nineteen replied: "It seems that he went out early in the morning." ”

Get out? Bei Ran suddenly remembered that Ji Changkong said last night that he planned to go to the City Lord's Mansion again to persuade the City Lord to seal the city, and he must have gone there, handed over the tray to Nineteen, and immediately ran out.

It was the same as the last time, Ji Changkong came to the city lord's mansion, and told him all the seriousness and urgency of the matter, but the old stubbornness of the city lord said:

"How's that going to work? If the city is sealed and the foreign economy is blocked, the money will be lost in the city is immeasurable, and how will tens of thousands of people in the city make ends meet? How do I pay taxes to the treasury? In the matter of curing diseases and saving people, you doctors should do a lot of work. ”

After that, he pretended to bow to Ji Changkong, but in Ji Changkong's opinion, being worshiped by him reduced his character as a god.

It didn't make sense with him, and Ji Changkong didn't stay long, after all, there were still hundreds of people waiting for him to take care of in the pharmacy, so he simply said goodbye and left the mansion. Shi Yi walked to the street, and suddenly a person came up behind him and hurriedly stopped him, "Childe, please stay." ”

Ji Changkong stopped to look at him: "What's the matter?" ”

The person in front of him was dressed in a dark green robe, with long hair tied to a crown, and a jade pendant around his waist, he was extremely upright, but he looked like a noble son. He smiled between his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Ji Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ji Changkong looked at the person in front of him, and when he heard him say this, he seemed to know himself, but he turned over and over in his mind, but he really didn't have any impression of this face, so he had to say, "You know me?" ”

The man smiled again, "Ji Gongzi, you forgot, half a year ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, in Luyang City, we had a relationship, and Childe's student Bei Ran girl is a very interesting person. ”

Speaking of which, Ji Changkong finally had a little impression, when several of them went into the city to play together, it seemed that they met a young boy on the way, Bei Ran also played with him for half a day, at that time, Chu Wang was still there, but what was his name?

"I'm sorry, I forgot to remember badly, what do you call it?"

The man still had a modest attitude: "In Xia Mu Pingliang." ”

"So Mu Gongzi is looking for me this time......"

Mu Pingliang was a little embarrassed, "Ji Gongzi is still serving as the teacher of the North Dye girl?" Since you're here, I don't know what she's doing now...... Is it here too? ”

Ji Changkong had no intention of paying attention to him, but as soon as he heard him ask about Bei Ran, his eyes immediately sharpened, and he looked at him directly, and just wanted to say that he was not there, he heard someone on the other side call him.

"Sir!" - It's North Dyeing.

Bei Ran trotted over, "Didn't you say that we would go together, why did you leave alone?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that there was still a person standing next to Ji Changkong, and said, "Who is this?" ”

Mu Pingliang was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Miss Bei, don't you remember me?" During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, we traveled together in Luyang, and you also gave me a Bodhi bracelet, which I have always carried. With that, he took out the brown bracelet from his bosom and raised it in front of Beiran's eyes.

Only then did Bei Ran remember that there was indeed such a thing, and then remembered his name, "Your name is ...... Mu Pingliang? ”

"Not bad! I didn't expect you to remember me. ”

Bei Ran laughed dryly, "Why are you here?" ”

When I first met him, I was still in the imperial city of Luyang, you know, it is not close to here.

Mu Pingliang said: "I went out to play with my brother in the family, passing through here, I happened to meet you here, what are the two of you doing here?" ”

Bei Ran didn't plan to talk too much to him, he just asked, so he kindly reminded: "Since it's just for fun, Childe should find another place, there has been a plague here recently, so it's best not to stay." ”

Mu Pingliang was taken aback: "Plague? ”

"Yes."

"Then why are you two still here?"

Asked about this, Beiran was a little sad, if it weren't for this sudden epidemic, they would have returned home by now and had fun around their parents. "We opened a medical clinic here, but now that the epidemic situation is severe and the number of doctors is small, we can't leave at all."

"What about the government? The government doesn't care? ”

Kitazan shook his head in frustration.

Mu Pingliang immediately reacted: "So the two of you are sad because of this?" Then you might as well tell me in detail, I have a relative who happens to be on an errand in this local government, and maybe he can help you. ”

When Bei Ran heard the joy, didn't they just need an official to do things for them, so they immediately came to the spirit, and the three of them made an appointment in a clean place, and carefully told Mu Pingliang the ins and outs of this matter and their thoughts.

Mu Pingliang nodded approvingly after hearing this, "Don't worry, I will definitely inform my relatives at home about this and assist you in treating the patient." ”

After Bei Ran and Ji Changkong left, a young man dressed as a guard came from another table in the distance, stood opposite Mu Pingliang and saluted, before saying, "Childe, you hurriedly came out of the City Lord's Mansion just to find these two people?" ”

Mu Pingliang avoided answering and said coldly: "The plague is serious in the city now? ”

The man was silent for a moment before he said, "I heard that yes, quite a few people have died. ”

Mu Pingliang was furious, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't anyone tell me when I went to the city yesterday?" And why not report it? ”

The man lowered his eyebrows and closed his mouth, not daring to speak. Mu Pingliang got up and took two steps, and said sideways: "Don't you love to follow me, let's go, let's go back and talk to your city lord together." ”
