Thirty miles outside the city, there were sorrows everywhere.

"Mom, am I going to die?" A seven or eight-year-old child snuggled in his mother's arms and asked softly.

The mother couldn't help but wet her tears, but when she looked at the child in her arms, she held back her tears. She still had tears, but her son didn't even have tears. Her eye sockets were deep underneath, and her skin was so dry that her face was full of wrinkles, like an old man in his seventies or eighties. He had been diarrhea for five or six days, and at the beginning, there was still some feces. In the last two days, he was covered in foul water. He couldn't eat anything, and could not even drink water, and he vomited as soon as he drank it.

She didn't know how long her son could live, so she could only hold him tightly in her arms and hold him tightly in her arms. In this way, perhaps the monsters and monsters would not see her son and would not take him away.

"Child, my child, what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up."

A father's wail came not far away. Not long ago, he lost a child, and this was the second one.

The mother hugged her child tighter and gently covered his ears with her hands.

During this plague, most of the infected patients were elderly people and children. The officers and soldiers checked each other and drove all infected people out of the city. But who would be willing to die in the wild or the elderly parents, so most of them were parents holding their young children, and their children were supporting their elderly parents out of the city. In this way, the number of people leaving the city is more than expected. Not to mention that medical services cannot keep up, even the tents and the big pot of cooking porridge are not enough. This is the most basic food and housing problem.

In late autumn, it is cold and the tent is given to the patients. Those who are healthy can only run outside the tent to resist the coldness of the night.

However, despite this, people still had no complaints because they knew that they had not been abandoned. Even the imperial physician Xi, Dr. Tang and Dr. Wang Ye, in the palace, came to the temporary resettlement site to treat the patients. His Highness the Crown Prince was actively transporting supplies here. Some of the milder patients had improved and were moved to another resettlement site a little further waiting to recover and return home. However, the plague was too fierce. Many children had diarrhea as soon as they got sick, with high fevers, and even had convulsions and coma until they died.

When Mo Xiao and Hua Jingkai arrived at the scene, they saw Wang Ye and Tang Zhongchun’s eyes covered with blood. They probably haven’t closed their eyes much for a few days, their heads were messy, and their mouths were still surrounded by green beards. Mo Xiao frowned. This undoubtedly shows how serious the situation was at the plague scene.

"You two go and rest for a while, and leave the rest to us." Hua Jingkai instructed Tang Zhongchun and Wang Ye.

"Why did you bring her?" Tang Zhongchun became anxious when he saw that Mo Xiao had come too.

"I want to come by myself. If I don't come again, I'll wait and see you two die of overwork." Mo Xiao gave Tang Zhongchun a blank look.

"Okay, now you only do one thing, hand over the general situation of the patients here, and then I will ask the Imperial Medical Center and the female clinic to classify the patients in a statistical category, and re-dividing the resettlement areas according to the lightness of the disease. This way, it will save a lot of manpower and speed up the treatment level, so that the severe cases will not delay the treatment time."

Tang Zhongchun nodded. "It's good, why didn't I expect it before? Don't laugh and think carefully."

Mo Xiao smiled slightly. This is the way that the world deals with acute epidemics. It was summarized after many years of epidemics and the wisdom of many doctors. Of course, it is detailed.

Mo Xiao said to Hua Jing again: "Let the water supply here and the commander on the scene come to see me."

After a while, everyone came. Mo Xiao ordered people who were drinking water to prepare different foods according to the area from now on. Those with severe illness only had rice soup with salt, and those with mild illnesses added vegetarian food. Those with diarrhea no longer had diarrhea and other nutrients. It was also stipulated that all water should be cooked thoroughly, boiled raw water, and distributed to people on site in time.

Previously, the people in the resettlement camp urinated and defecated by themselves in the relatively hidden jungle nearby, and some even went down to the river at the foot of the mountain to solve the problem. After Mo Xiao investigated it clearly, he immediately issued a ban, stipulating that the urination and defecation rate should be solved in the newly built toilet.

The soldiers were also ordered to sprinkle quicklime on the area where they were urinating and defecating, and then dig several other holes, and built thatched roofs on them to make temporary toilets. They also found thatched roofs were buried in the bottom of the pit, and people were sent to sprinkle twice a day.

However, the resettlement camp was halfway up the hillside, with no source of living water and a large number of people, so the food and water were seriously insufficient. Washing hands before and after meals became an unrealistic empty talk.

However, Mo Xiao only worried about this problem for one night.

The next day, Mo Xiao just woke up from the tent and heard someone outside the tent report that she claimed that she was visiting her friend. Mo Xiao was stunned. How could a friend come out of this wilderness? However, 90% of the friends who took the initiative to deliver them to the door were real friends.

"please!"

As soon as the word "please" was finished, the curtain of the tent had been lifted. A woman in a white robe came in.

"Mo Xiao, my senior sisters and I are here to help."

Mo Xiao was so surprised, it was Bai Yu.

"Bai Yu, how come you know too."

Bai Yu smiled heartily.

"Lingyun Temple is on the top of this mountain. Of course we know that the noise at the bottom of the mountain is so loud. And the reason why we come so late is because we are doing something." Bai Yu said proudly.

"What's up?"

"Solve the problem of water use! I originally wanted to go down the mountain to help, but my master said that we are not doctors. At that time, the effect of running down the mountain was not great, so it would be better to do something meaningful. Master said that the resettlement camp was on the hillside and there was no source of living water, which must be a big problem. So, Master ordered us to cut down all the bamboos on the mountain, split them into hundreds of waterways, and drain the pool on the top of the mountain directly down."

"Really, that's great. You've helped me a lot." Mo Xiao slapped his thighs excitedly. This was simply a timely help.

With the living water, the sanitation conditions in the resettlement camp have been greatly improved. With the addition of Bai Yu and a group of senior sisters, the women and children have also received better care and recovered better.

However, the plague is always a plague and does not leave as soon as you say it. As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes like a thread drawing. Although the death toll is decreasing day by day, new graves still appear on the hills not far from the resettlement camp. Although people feel much more at ease because of the position of the crown prince and the crown princess, they are very confused about their future, and the resettlement camp is always shrouded in the miserable clouds.

"We have to find a way to cheer everyone up more. Being confident in your heart will be of great benefit to recovery. But how can this confidence be established?" Mo Xiao and Hua Jingkai discussed.

"If you want to build confidence, you need to start from two directions. First, let everyone see hope. I think starting tomorrow, the situation of resettlement camps and patients in the city will be announced every day, so that everyone can see that things are moving in a positive direction. Whether it is for people who are infected with the plague or others. Second, if you just need some relaxing programs at this time, don't you say that Tang Zhongchun is very good at coaxing people?"

Hua Jingkai suddenly looked at Mo Xiao and blinked.

Don’t laugh and understand, it’s a good idea.

After this day, in addition to resting at night in the resettlement camp, there was also an additional expectation, that is, the time for Doctor Tang Zhongchun to interact with the children.

A pile of burning bonfires were filled with children. Tang Zhongchun was standing in the middle with a handful of candy in his hand.

"Winter melon, cucumber, watermelon, and pumpkin can be eaten, what melon cannot be eaten?"

...

After a long silence, one of the little boys raised his hand high.

"Winter melon."

Everyone burst into laughter. The little girl beside the little boy hit him with her elbow, "Didn't you just ate winter melon in the camp yesterday? Why can't you eat winter melon anymore? What a fool."

The little boy scratched his head and opened his mouth wide. Yes, winter melon can be eaten. Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "I understand, I understand, it's a fool, haha, fools can't eat it."

Tang Zhongchun walked over and touched his little head, "Congratulations to handsome guy, you answered correctly."

Tang Zhongchun put a candy in his hand into the palm of his hand.

The little boy peeled off the oil paper wrapped in the candy and was about to put it in his mouth, but he saw the envious look of the little girl beside him.

He handed the candy in his hand to the little girl, "Actually, you answered correctly, so let's give it to you."

After the little boy finished speaking, he swallowed.

"Let's eat together, you half, I half." The girl took the candy, broke it hard in her hand, and handed it back half of the slightly larger one to the little boy.

The boy was careless, but he didn't show that someone gave him half-large, so he raised his hand and took it, "You're still smart, why didn't I think of such a good idea?"

The boy chewed the candy happily while praising the girl.

On the other hand, Tang Zhongchun has already started another round of prize-winning Q&A.

"Old Wang shaved his face forty or fifty times a day, but he still had a beard on his face. What's the reason?"

Tang Zhongchun raised the candy in his hand and blinked at the children, "If you want to eat candy, please guess immediately."

A child jumped out and said, "Old Wang's beard is longer than my grandfather's, and it grows to the soles of his feet."

The child touched his thin hands from his chin to his feet, and compared his posture.

"Well, it seems that your grandfather has a short beard, but the answer is not right."

Hua Jingkai and Mo Xiao sat in the second row, beside them was a group of female doctors and imperial physicians. They all guessed with great enthusiasm. Hua Jingkai smiled and looked at Mo Xiao, "Do you know the answer?"

Mo Xiao smiled but said nothing, but after a long time, no one guessed it. He approached the little girl in front of him and said in her ear.

"I know, Lao Wang shaved his head. He shaved his face for others, not for himself, so he still has a beard on his face."

Tang Zhongchun pretended to cheat without Mo Xiao, and put a candy in the palm of the little girl's hand. The girl turned around happily, "Crown Princess, I have candy!"

Mo Xiao smiled and touched her head, "Well, when your illness is completely cured, the Crown Princess will ask Dr. Tang to give you more candy."

Tang Zhongchun's prize-giving problem brought laughter to the resettlement camp, and Hua Jingkai's daily announcement also brought confidence in the future. Things were the same as Mo Xiao estimated. With these two things, the resettlement camp was no longer sad. Among the crowd, children who had recovered almost always ran around and sang songs happily. Those cheerful songs from the heart made everyone forget that they were in a terrible plague.

Two weeks later, Hua Jingkai announced that the plague had been successfully resolved, temporary resettlement sites were cancelled, and everyone went home.

The moment before departure, everyone supported each other and came to the tent where the princess lived. No one ordered, but everyone knelt down quietly.

"Child, hurry up and kowtow to the Crown Princess, no, kowtow to the life-saving benefactor." A mother told her son, and then kowtowed with her son.

"Don't help me, let me do it myself. I want to kowtow to the Crown Princess. Thank you for letting me escape the talisman of the King of Hell." An old man pushed open his son who was helping him and kowtowed to the door of the tent.

"Wife, the Crown Princess saves you, which means saving me. I will kowtow to the Crown Princess for you."

"No, let's knock together, and also knock the part of my son in my belly."

A young couple respectfully lie on the ground.

When Hua Jing opened the curtain and lifted it out, she saw such a scene.

Countless people knelt on the ground, shouting and not making noise, but just kowtowed quietly.

He looked back at Mo Xiao, who was about to go out, and said with a smile: "I always said that I would not kowtow, but I always made people kowtow to you. I won't take the blame, you can handle it yourself."

Hua Jingkai smiled and returned to the tent, signaling Mo Xiao to go out and take a look.

Mo Xiao walked towards the tent gate with suspicion and thought to himself, was it someone else who came to kowtow? The ancients' way of admitting mistakes or thanking people was too intense. They kowtowed on the ground at any time, and sometimes they made the sound of the ground and bleeding from their foreheads. She still couldn't adapt to it, and when she saw others kneeling, her legs were weak.

As soon as the curtain of the tent was opened, Mo Xiao felt that his legs were weak again. Hua Jingkai was behind her at some point, and gently supported her with one hand.

"They worship you because you saved their lives, not because you are the crown princess. You deserve this worship."

"No, life should be respected, and doctors are just more capable of respecting a life than others."

Hua Jingkai was stunned and then realized something, "I understand, you are right, every life should be respected, it has nothing to do with high or low."

After Hua Jingkai finished speaking, he turned toward everyone.

"All up, the Crown Princess doesn't like others to kowtow at any time. If you kneel down, she will be unhappy."

When everyone heard the prince say this, they stood up one after another. They were going to kowtow to make her happy. Since the princess doesn't like kowtows, they won't kowtow, but the kindness must always be remembered in their hearts.

Hua Jingkai saw that although everyone stood up, he still did not move, and knew that he was waiting for the Crown Princess to speak.

He curled his lips at Mo Xiao, "Say a few words. If they don't say anything today, they may not leave."

Mo Xiao felt that she was really ashamed of being kneeling down from so many people for no reason. She didn't know what to say. When she raised her eyes, she saw Tang Zhongchun, Wang Ye, Jingwen and others with red eyes. She suddenly knew what she should say.

"The plague is ruthless and people have feelings. During this plague, I saw the true feelings of the world and had more fear of the plague. In everyone's eyes, I might be the priest's concubine saving you, but it is not. If it were not for the strong support of my wise emperor in Beixuan Kingdom, the princess' strategy, the management and arrangement of officers and soldiers, the hard work of volunteers, the imperial physicians in the imperial clinic and the female doctors in the female doctors in the medical clinic to assist in the treatment, the chivalrous people who put themselves in danger to take care of the sick patients, and the relatives who never leave everyone, I alone would probably not be able to save one person. Therefore, this is a war of striving for the masses, and we all worked hard to win it together!"

After Mo Xiao's words finished, the audience suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of the wind could not be heard. Finally, I don't know who picked up the applause first. One, two, and three, finally formed a sea of ​​applause, which lasted for a long time.

Jingwen secretly looked at Wang Ye not far away. His eyes were covered with blood, and his face was haggard. His originally bad-looking appearance made him look even more ugly. Jingwen hesitated, would such a person do such a thing? She thought it would not be, how could it be? The doctor is kind-hearted. This is what the Crown Princess said. For the past two weeks, she has been staring at Wang Ye. In addition to saving people, he was saving people. How could he do that?
