Chapter 301: Explosion

Su Xiaolu did not see Su Hua, so she knew that Su Hua must be in the quarantine center.

She did not panic and calmly made the arrangements.

Su Chong nodded. At this time, no one said much and went back first.

Not back to the inn, but back to the residence.

No one asked Su Xiaolu about buying the house.

As soon as they arrived home, Su Xiaolu checked their pulses first. There was nothing unusual.

Wang Huilan brought over the prepared food.

Wang Huilan said, “Xiaolu, I got the coachman to ask around this morning. We can’t leave the city now.”

Wang Huilan held Liu Zijin’s hand and was trembling slightly.

Su Hua hadn’t returned, so Wang Huilan was very worried. Now that they couldn’t leave the city, she felt even more worried.

Hearing that they couldn’t leave the city, Liu Zijin and the others were also shocked.

“Is it that serious?”

Su Chong was a little dazed. He did not expect it to be so serious. Thinking of Su Hua, he was extremely worried.

Zhou Heng also frowned, but he did not know what to say to comfort Su Chong.

Liu Zijin held Wang Huilan’s hand in silence.

Su Xiaolu said, “Don’t worry. I’ve hoarded a lot of food. It should be enough to deal with this epidemic. I know Second Brother is quarantined. I’m a doctor. I’ll do my best to take care of him.”

Since they could not leave the city, they would stay here for the time being.

At this moment, Su Xiaolu was glad that she had bought a house and food. She felt more at ease now that she had a safe place to live in.

Su Chong looked at Su Xiaolu and said anxiously, “Xiaolu, do you think I can help?”

He was the eldest brother. He should protect his younger siblings.

This feeling of being unable to do anything was too powerless and painful. If he could, he wished that he was the one who was infected.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Chong seriously and said firmly, “Big Brother, the plague is coming fiercely this time. Don’t worry about blaming yourself. I believe that if it were you, you would do the same thing as Second Brother. Don’t forget that I’m a divine doctor now. I’ll definitely find the cause of the illness. I’ll definitely bring Second Brother back safely. Wait for us to come back.”

Su Chong’s eyes turned red. He nodded and choked. “Okay, I’ll wait for you guys to come back.”

Tears fell silently from Wang Huilan’s eyes. She picked up some food for Su Xiaolu and said with a smile, “Xiaolu, come and eat more. You’ll have the strength to work after eating.”

Su Xiaolu nodded.

She concentrated on eating.

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaolu worriedly and said, “Xiaolu, we’ll wait for you to come back.”

Liu Zijin and Wang Huilan also said, “Yes, we’ll wait here for you to come home.”

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded.

She ate and went out.

Su Xiaolu went straight to the magistrate’s residence in Furongzhou. If she wanted to participate in battling this plague, she had to reveal her identity.

The magistrate of Furongzhou was called Huang Xingliang.

Hearing his subordinate’s report, Huang Xingliang hurriedly said, “The divine doctor of Minggu is actually in Furongzhou. What are you waiting for? Quickly invite them in.”

The plague was so severe that they couldn’t find the cause yet. However, people were already dying. Even the best doctors in Furongzhou were involved, but they were still helpless.

Huang Xingliang also reported the matter to the imperial court.

He hoped that the imperial court would send an imperial physician. After all, it was only seven days from the time one was infected to his death. He did not dare to be negligent.

Apart from controlling the plague and preventing it from erupting, he could only try his best to save those infected.

The capital was too far away. It would take time to send the imperial physician over. Distant water could not extinguish a nearby fire. Now that a divine doctor had come, it was undoubtedly a great thing.

Huang Xingliang asked the servants to welcome Su Xiaolu respectfully into the magistrate’s residence. When Su Xiaolu arrived in front of him, he was dumbfounded. “Why is it a child? Are you fooling me!”

Su Xiaolu was neither servile nor overbearing. She said calmly, “I’m the successor of Minggu Medical Valley and have already graduated. My Master is older, but he’s not here. If he was, he might not have shown himself either. I’m just a beginner. Be it a plague or a strange illness, it’s the best time for me to train.”

Huang Xingliang sized up Su Xiaolu and said doubtfully, “I heard that the divine doctor has divine needles that are fine to the touch. Do you have them? I’ve never seen the divine doctor either. You have to prove something to make me believe you, right?”

Huang Xingliang kept staring at Su Xiaolu, wanting to see something from her face.

However, Su Xiaolu’s expression was calm. She picked up the needle bag and took out a silver needle. With a light flick, the silver needle flew out, scaring Huang Xingliang and the guard beside him.

Several armed guards drew their swords and guarded against Su Xiaolu.

“The divine needle is here. Sir, look carefully.”

Su Xiaolu said calmly.

On the table in front of Huang Xingliang, there was already a silver needle firmly inserted. The silver needle was a small finger deep into the table and was still trembling.

Huang Xingliang was shocked that Su Xiaolu was so capable. He looked at the silver needles in front of him and believed Su Xiaolu’s identity, he still had doubts about Su Xiaolu’s medical skills. Was the divine doctor really that amazing?

“Miss, you’re so capable. I believe in your identity. Please help me eradicate the plague and save the people of Furongzhou.”

Huang Xingliang cupped his hands at Su Xiaolu and said solemnly.

“Thank you for your trust, sir. I’ll do my best to find the root cause.”

Su Xiaolu walked towards Huang Xingliang. The guards were very vigilant.

Huang Xingliang looked into Su Xiaolu’s eyes and waved his hand. “Don’t be so nervous. If the divine doctor wants to kill me, you won’t be able to protect me.”

If the silver needle had landed on his body instead of the table, he would not have been able to escape.

In front of a true expert, the few people around him were still not enough.

Su Xiaolu took out the silver needles and put them away. She said calmly, “There’s no time to lose. Please arrange for me to go over now.”

Huang Xingliang arranged for a constable to follow Su Xiaolu and listen to her instructions.

The constable’s surname was Zhu, and he was about thirty years old.

Constable Zhu brought Su Xiaolu directly to the quarantine area. Currently, Ji Shi Hall was the largest quarantine location. When there was not enough space, the surrounding houses were also requisitioned.

Constable Zhu took Su Xiaolu straight to where the doctor of Ji Shi Hall lived.

“Arrange a place for Doctor Su to stay.”

Constable Zhu called out to a medicine boy.

The medicine boy immediately went down to make arrangements. Constable Zhu looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Doctor Su, when the doctors are discussing later, tell them your identity. Please try your best to treat them.”

Su Xiaolu nodded. “I’ll go see the people from the quarantine area.”

Constable Zhu led Su Xiaolu over. The quarantine area was divided into three places. The first was for people who had just contracted the illness, the second was for those who had developed herpes, and the third was for those who were on the brink of death.

There were about a hundred people in quarantine. Many doctors were already taking their pulses and checking them carefully.
