There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 134 Give Me a Drink

They were tied together with tree branches and placed in front of the patient's room.

The flag for the "observation shed" will be placed to one side for now, and moved to another location once the shed is completed.

This way, it will be clear at a glance, preventing people from wandering around aimlessly.

Princess Changning's servant shouted, "Miss Li, our princess has already placed the wine in the storage area!"

Li Shuchen: "Okay, got it."

Using his rudimentary light-footed skills, Li Shuchen "flew" to the storage area, picked up the wine jar, and "flew" back to the "fever shed."

Li Shuchen: "Dr. Sun, the wine is here."

Dr. Sun poured out a bowl of wine, soaked a handkerchief in it, and wiped the patient's palms, soles, arms, and legs.

Li Shuchen and Linglong did the same thing.

The three of them wiped back and forth, repeatedly.

Until the patient's body temperature begins to drop

The patient's fever subsided only after the jar of wine was almost empty.

Li Shuchen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He went out to ask Changning to bring over another jar of wine, just as he saw Lao Jiu returning with medicine.

His eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Ninth Brother, put it in the storage area!"

Ninth Brother: "Yes, Miss."

Li Shuchen mustered all his strength and sprinted 100 meters to get the medicine pack.

Then he returned at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Within three seconds, the medicine packet was handed to Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun took the medicine and immediately started brewing it.

Linglong Watching the Fire

Li Shuchen gathered firewood around the shed. After gathering the firewood...

Without resting, he quickly hid behind the shed, and when no one was around, he went to the Lucky Mall to find water purification agents.

It took me ages to find it

"Invincible Purification Agent"

Function: It can purify all dirty, smelly, and toxic water sources, eliminate all harmful substances, and make the water source clean and clear, and drinkable.

Price: 1000 taels of silver

Li Shuchen bought it without hesitation; luckily, she had enough money—one thousand taels of silver.

Clutching a small vial of medicine, she rushed to the riverbank where the men had bathed, using her sleeve as a cover.

They poured tons of medicine into the river.

After pouring the medicine, I put the bottle in the auspicious space, planning to deal with it later.

I washed my hands, which were dirty from gathering firewood.

He got up and went ashore, only to find that the officers and soldiers had set up another shed.

He then said to the high-risk individuals, "You can rest in another shed."

The five people obediently got up and walked towards the newly built shed.

Li Shuchen also walked towards the new shelter, casually pulling down the "Observation Shelter" flag along the way and holding it in his hand.

Arrive at the new shed and plant the flag.

Xiao Xiuyuan called out loudly, "Miss Li, Miss Gu has prepared the 'Three Bean Drink,' and I've placed it in the storage area. Please remember to pick it up."

Li Shuchen: "Understood, I'll go get it right away."

Seeing that the mission was complete, Xiao Xiuyuan turned around and returned to the porridge shop.

Li Shuchen went to fetch the herbal medicine, brought it back to the "observation shed," and distributed the medicine to them.

"You all need to drink the medicine quickly."

The five of them rushed to finish their medicine, drinking not a single drop left in their bowls.

Li Shuchen carried the remaining medicine to the "fever shed," put it down, and said to Linglong, who was brewing the medicine.

"Linglong, quickly drink this medicine, I'll go call Doctor Sun."

Linglong: Okay

Li Shuchen entered the room, where Dr. Sun was wiping the patient's body with cool water.

"Dr. Sun, please come out and drink your medicine first."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Sun got up, went outside, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Li Shuchen then drank his own portion of herbal medicine, removing his mask and downing it in one gulp.

an hour later

Linglong: "Master, the medicine is ready."

Dr. Sun divided the medicine into eight portions, picked up one portion, and began to administer the medicine to the patient.

Why force-feed? Because the medicine was extremely bitter. Even with a mask on, Li Shuchen could smell the intense bitterness, even worse than Coptis chinensis.

But no matter how Dr. Sun tried to force-feed the patient, the patient simply wouldn't open his mouth to drink.

Li Shuchen, who was assisting by pressing down on the patient, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He slapped the patient across the face.

With a sharp "snap," the crisp sound startled both Doctor Sun and Linglong.

Li Shuchen ignored the two of them.

Since the patient hadn't opened her mouth yet, it must be because her slap wasn't hard enough.

"Slap!" Another heavy slap landed on the patient's face.

The patient hadn't opened his mouth yet.

Okay, okay, you have to take this medicine today, whether you like it or not.

Let's see if her slap is harder today, or your mouth is harder. Even if your face is swollen from being slapped, you still have to get the medicine down your throat.

Li Shuchen rolled up his sleeves

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

After three breaths, the patient finally couldn't hold on any longer and opened their mouth.

Seeing the opportunity, Dr. Sun quickly fed it in.

The patient tasted bitterness and involuntarily wanted to spit it out.

Li Shuchen threatened, "If you dare vomit, I'll continue hitting you."

The patient chickened out and forced himself to drink it.

After finally feeding the first patient, Li Shuchen was covered in sweat.

Then they fed the second person, and to their surprise, the second person opened their mouth wide, lay obediently, and waited to drink the medicine.

Li Shuchen and Linglong didn't even need to hold him down.

He gulped down the whole bowl of medicine in one go.

I'm afraid Li Shuchen will also call him.

The rest of the medication was administered successfully.

Li Shuchen breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lingxiao (loudly): "Sister, two more sheds have been built. Do you need more?"

Li Shuchen stepped out of the shed and shouted back, "Yes, tell the Prefect of Kaifeng!"

None of us can enter the capital tonight; we'll have to spend the night outside the city gates, so the shelters must be big enough for us."

Li Lingxiao: "Understood, elder sister. I will go and inform the prefect right away."

After Li Lingxiao left, two more people developed fevers. Li Shuchen and Linglong helped the new fever patients to the "fever tent."

So far, ten people have developed a fever.

The three people in the 'observation shed' were all filled with apprehension.

Li Shuchen brought the freshly brewed medicine into the "observation shed." Doctor Sun said it would be best if the people in the "observation shed" also drank the medicine.

They saw Li Shuchen as if he were their savior, and asked him expectantly.

"Miss Li, what do we do? Are we going to die?"

Li Shuchen was furious and scared. Why hadn't she been thinking this before? She fiercely and loudly questioned, "Why didn't you line up to shower? Why didn't you listen to me?"

For a moment, the room was completely silent. Three seconds later, someone burst into tears, and once one person started crying, another followed.

This thing is like an epidemic; it's contagious.

They were all howling so loudly it was earth-shattering, not caring about being shameful at all.

Their crying annoyed Li Shuchen.

Li Shuchen slammed the medicine down on the wooden table in the shed and shouted, "Stop howling! Come and drink your medicine. This medicine is for treating the epidemic!"

You should take precautions first. No one has died yet, so you still have a good chance of surviving.

Li Shuchen's words were undoubtedly a stabilizing force, giving them hope, and they all hurriedly drank their medicine.

The medicine is bitter? I'll swallow it even if it's bitter. Can the bitterness of medicine be worse than death?

People must live well.

Li Shuchen stepped outside the shed. It was getting dark, and the people with fevers were all asleep.

Li Shuchen called out to Doctor Sun and asked, "How are they? Are they feeling better?"

Dr. Sun: "The decline has slowed down somewhat, but we won't know the specifics until tomorrow morning."

However, Miss Li's voice is quite hoarse. I have some throat lozenges here, Miss Li, please take one to soothe your throat."

Li Shuchen took the pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and replied, "Thank you, Doctor Sun."

Li Lingxiao: "Sister, Father and Mother are here."

Li Shuchen paused upon hearing this. Why were his parents here? This wasn't their place.
