"If you can't come back alive, that's heaven's will. If heaven wants to take your life, we can't do anything about it.”
Those people did not stop. They carried the old man onto the wooden cart and prepared to pull him away in another direction. There was a dead house there, which was specially used to store people infected with the plague.
In this era, plagues were incurable diseases, incurable diseases. People who were superstitious and thought that they could not be saved no matter what, would be taken away by the heavens.
In fact, they did not want to do this, but if they did not isolate the infected, more people would be infected. In order not to be infected, they did not dare to have physical contact with the patients. They could only use tools such as ropes to get the patients into the car and pull them away.
"Brother Xiao, this old man is so pitiful! If only I could save him."
Lu Su looked at the dying old man. Although she did not understand the plague, the old man's obsession to die at home even if he died touched her.
"Yes! If you want to save her, then go ahead!"
Xiao Han recalled that he had obtained a prescription for treating the plague and a Compendium of Materia Medica when he was doing a mission.
The plague formula produced by the system should not be bad, so he casually said.
"What? Brother Xiao, you, you can save him?”
When Lu Su heard Xiao Han say that he could save the old man, she was stunned for a moment and asked excitedly.
"Yes! It was just a small plague, so it should not be difficult to treat it.”
Xiao Han thought for a moment. He hadn't used the formula given by the system to treat the plague, so he couldn't be 100% sure. Therefore, he didn't say that it would definitely be able to treat it. He only said that it should be possible.
"Did you hear that? That person just said that he can cure the plague.”
"Hahaha! He should be a fool! The plague is incurable. Don't you know that?”
"That's right. Even the divine doctor couldn't save him. He actually said that it was a small plague.”
"Let's go! Hurry up and lock him up, lest he infect others.”
……
When those people heard Xiao Han say that he could cure the plague, they immediately snorted. If there was really medicine that could cure the plague, why would they imprison those patients?
The plague had killed nearly a thousand people, and even the best doctors sent by the higher-ups were helpless.
A passerby could cure this incurable disease? Playing!
"Don't talk about Brother Xiao like that. Brother Xiao never lies. If he says it can be cured, then it definitely can.”
Seeing Xiao Han being ridiculed by those people, Lu Su could not take it anymore. Although she looked weak on the surface, she was especially strong in her bones and directly retorted.
"Chief, don't lower yourself to this kind of person. Let's leave quickly!”
Those people didn't believe that Xiao Han could cure the plague at all and directly pulled him away.
"Brother Xiao, look…"
"It's okay. Follow me!"
Xiao Han said as he walked towards the carriage.
It was true that he had the formula, but it was useless to take it out now. These were just soldiers. Even if he took out the formula, he would not be able to find the medicinal herbs here.
Just like that, Xiao Han drove the carriage and followed behind unhurriedly. Soon, they arrived in front of a medical hall.
"Another one. Carry him to the dead man's house opposite!”
The medical officer who was standing guard there was ordered to deal with the plague. He only took a simple look and waved his hand to let those people carry it to lock the house.
There was no cure for the plague, so there was no need to waste time on healing.
"Hey, you doctor, how can you be like this? You didn't even look at it before throwing it into the dead man's house!”
Lu Su alighted from the carriage. When she saw the medical officer coming forward to check on him, she thought that he would treat the old man.
In the end, he only took a look at it and threw it into the dead man's house. Wasn't this disregarding human lives?
"Who are they?"
The medical officer glanced at Xiao Han and Lu Su and frowned.
"We don't know either. It's just two passers-by. They said that they could cure the plague, so they followed us.”
a soldier said casually.
He had seen too many dead people and was already numb to it. He did not believe that any random passerby could cure the plague.
"Are you a doctor?"
The doctor turned to Xiao Han and asked.
"No."
Xiao Han said.
"Since you're not a doctor, how can you develop the plague formula? This is simply nonsense.”
The medical officer was a little angry when he heard Xiao Han's words. If Xiao Han was a famous doctor, it would be fine, but Xiao Han was not even a doctor. He said that he could cure the plague. Was he playing with him?
"What if I say I can really cure the plague?”
Xiao Han said with a smile.
"Impossible, the plague is incurable.”
The medical officer immediately denied Xiao Han's words. He had been an imperial doctor in the palace and knew how terrifying the plague was. He dared to say that no one in Great Qin had a way to treat the plague.
"You'll only know if you can try it. I have a prescription here. Take it and try it. If it's cured, it'll be your credit. If it's not cured, you won't lose anything, right?”
Xiao Han didn't explain further. It was meaningless to say more. He took out the formula to treat the plague and handed it to the doctor.
"Oh! Can you really do it?"
The doctor didn't want to talk to Xiao Han, but Xiao Han didn't say anything and directly took out the treatment prescription. He seemed very confident, which made him a little shaken.
"We can give it a try!"
Xiao Han said.
"Alright then! Let's give it a try."
The doctor hesitated for a moment after receiving the prescription, but he still chose to give it a try.
In fact, if Xiao Han had said that his prescription could cure the plague, he would have thrown it away. However, Xiao Han said that he could give it a try, which gave him a glimmer of hope.
What if it really worked? Even if he couldn't, as Xiao Han said, he wouldn't lose anything.
Hence, the doctor took the prescription and asked his subordinates to get the medicine.
Soon, the medicine to treat the plague was produced.
"You all know about your illness, right? But this Young Master Xiao said that this prescription can cure the plague, but no one has tried it.”
"Now that the medicine is ready, who is willing to give it a try?”
The doctor asked the villagers who were infected with the plague.
"This…"
The villagers who were infected with the plague were happy when they heard that it could be treated, but the doctor said that no one had tried it. Their eyes dimmed again, and no one said anything.
To put it bluntly, although they would die from the plague, they could still survive for a few days.
However, drinking this unknown medicine might kill him on the spot.
"Young Master Xiao, you saw it."
The doctor turned to Xiao Han helplessly.
The meaning was obvious. Everyone knew that they would die, but no one knew if they would die immediately if they went to test the medicine. After all, no one had tried the medicine before.
"I'll do it!"
At this moment, the old man struggled to sit up from the stretcher and raised his hand.
He felt that he would definitely die from the plague anyway, and Xiao Han and Lu Su had met by chance, yet he didn't hesitate to get into trouble to help them. What else did he not dare to do?
Wasn't it just testing medicine? At worst, he would die.
"Gulp!"
The old man did not hesitate. He picked up the medicinal soup with trembling but firm determination and drank it.
