Chapter 906: Chapter 909 Helpless
"Almond is running a fever, where can I find a doctor?" Bai Yan asked frantically.
Almond had already caught the plague, and she guessed it wouldn’t be long before they did too, but she didn’t want to die!
Qing Xin quickly said, "Fourth Master, Madam, let me go take a look first."
She was truly tired of sitting, and wanted to get outside for a bit.
Qiao Duo’er nodded without hesitation, "Qing Yue, you go take a look as well, both of you put on protective clothing, and be very careful."
Because they needed to put on protective clothing, it took a while before Qing Xin and her sister could come in.
"Damn it, I didn’t expect it to be so serious!" Qing Xin said angrily.
At noon the person was just fine, and in just more than an hour, they had fainted, how could the plague be so ruthless?
Qing Yue, being more steady, waited for Qing Xin to finish ranting before speaking, "Qing Xin and I tried several methods, but none could wake Almond up, we can only continue to observe her condition."
Qiao Duo’er took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions as steady as possible.
With things as they were, the only option was to search for remedies.
According to Almond, if a medicine to counter the plague wasn’t found within five days, she wouldn’t survive.
Just five days, it was really tight.
There was also news from Tie Niu’s side, that three people in the village had contracted the plague.
They were already isolated at home following the Tan Family’s method, and those who had come into contact with them were quarantined as well, waiting to be confirmed plague-free before they could be freed.
When you’re truly focused, time flies. Without her really noticing, evening had arrived.
"My dear, you should rest first. When you wake up, I’ll definitely have all of this sorted out," Tan Zhenghong advised.
He knew his wife was eager to save people, but he was even more afraid of her encountering danger.
Qing Yue also advised, "Staying up all night is the most damaging to your health. You are in a special time right now, you must be careful."
Qiao Duo’er heeded the advice of the previous night and obediently went back to her room to sleep.
However, she didn’t sleep well, waking up again after just four hours.
The space beside her was still empty, Tan Zhenghong must still be in the study.
"Little thing, we have to help out too, I promise it’s just this once, okay?"
Qiao Duo’er sought her baby’s opinion.
Ever since she began feeling the baby move, Qiao Duo’er felt they had the right to make decisions too.
Feeling the baby kick in her belly, she then got dressed and got out of bed.
"Wife, why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?"
Seeing the sleepy-eyed Qiao Duo’er, Tan Zhenghong’s heart nearly broke with concern.
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "I have things on my mind and can’t sleep. Might as well find the remedy, then sleep soundly."
Otherwise, she would be anxious and scared even with her eyes closed, which would also affect the little one negatively.
Tan Zhenghong did not object any further, and he trimmed the wick of the lamp to brighten the room.
Persistent efforts pay off; they managed to extract all the remedies by the next noon, totaling thirty-four.
All had been used by Bai Yifan before and were quite effective.
"Can you see which one might be effective against the current plague?" Qiao Duo’er looked towards Qing Yue and her sister.
"Qing Xin and I specialize in gynecology, and only have a basic understanding of other areas. We believe all are effective but still, we should have the Store Manager Doctor of Deji Hall take a look," Qing Yue did not conceal the fact.
Their grandmother was a midwife, and from a young age, they were steeped in her knowledge, later ending up in a medical hall where the Store Manager had them learn midwifery directly. They also understood some basic medical principles, which made them very popular with the Backyard Lady.
But faced with a severe epidemic, they were at a loss.
