Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 218: Personal Care

The group walked through another block and saw roadblocks and guarding soldiers appear again.

Zhou Chang knew that he was close to the core, and he felt a little nervous.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid at all.

Cui Bian had already run forward and had a few words with the guarding soldiers and the medical officer.

Then he turned around and reported to Zhou Chang: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please think twice. There are shanty towns with a high incidence of epidemics ahead. Today, there are more than a hundred new patients. It can be seen that the epidemic is coming in a fierce manner. Your Highness should not go forward."

"Yes, yes, it's dangerous, Your Highness Prince Yi..." Qin Shou, who was already hiding behind Zhou Chang without any disguise, quickly agreed.

Behind the roadblocks and fences ahead, there were no longer neat and clean streets, but instead low, scattered shanties. There were pedestrians walking on the streets in twos and threes, but there were more bodies lying on the side of the street, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Zhou Chang was not without any concerns in her heart. Although there should be no big problem as long as her immunity was good enough, this was ancient times and there was no modern advanced medical technology. If she was really infected and there were no good medical conditions, she didn't know what would happen.

But there is no way out now. Who forced Prince Yi to take on such a task?

The shadow of "Xi Yangyang" in the previous life is still there.

When I get home today, I will take a good shower and clean myself up, and also eat more foods rich in vitamin C.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask again: "Do they have someone to supply food and fruits and vegetables every day?"

Cui Bian replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Yi, the government office and the city patrol will be responsible for delivering mugwort and porridge every day."

"Only giving out porridge?" Zhou Chang questioned.

It is already late November, how can we just give out porridge?

Zhou Chang stopped and turned around to ask, "Is the medical officer from the plague hospital here?"

The two medical officers who had followed Cui Bian came forward quickly and were about to salute, but Zhou Chang stopped them: "This is an emergency, no need for courtesy."

The two medical officers bowed and listened.

Zhou Chang ordered: "Before the prescription is finalized, we must try our best to supply the people in the epidemic area with enough food and clean drinking water, and most importantly, supply more vegetables and fruits, including cabbage, white radish, oranges, pears, etc. Is this clear?"

"Yes, I understand." The two of them also covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels and bowed in response.

"It's not about trying our best. It's about ensuring that every household is supplied with enough vegetables and fruits. There's a shortage of medicinal materials nowadays, but there must be vegetables and the two kinds of fruits that the king mentioned, right? As for the silver, just take it out of the funds issued by the court. We will give priority to supplying as much as is needed." Zhou Chang thought of this situation in his previous life, the dietary therapy and food supplements advocated on the Internet.

Conditions in ancient times were limited, but the most basic things should always be guaranteed.

The two medical officers still bowed and responded.

Zhou Chang struggled internally for a long time, but finally decided: "I want to go in and take a look."

Qin Shou was about to collapse to the ground, but Gao Yuan supported him with one arm from behind.

I thought Zhou Chang had just stood in front of the checkpoint for a long time and given some instructions, which was enough to save face, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to go in.

"Your Highness, think twice..." Zhong Yu followed him and was even more persistent than Zhou Chang. "Your Highness, Xinghuafang is just ahead. It's already on the edge of the shantytown in West City. There are too many people and too many things to say. It would be better if I, your subordinate, went over there to investigate on your behalf."

"Mr. Zhong has always been in poor health and should not go any further." Zhou Chang was speaking from the heart. He was more worried about Zhong Yu than himself.

Zhong Yu shook his head, his frowning face became even more resolute: "I don't know what the situation is in the Xinghuafang Pharmacy right now. Normally, I come to check it out at least once a month. Now that something has happened, how can I retreat? But the prince is a daughter, and as the saying goes, 'a daughter of a rich family should not sit in the hall'..."

"Ah..." At this moment, a shrill female cry came from a distance, "Help, help."

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what was going on.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Chang no longer hesitated and ran towards the direction where the voice came from.

Cui Bian had no choice but to turn around and shout to the roadblock in front of him: "Quick, move the roadblock away."

A group of people followed.

Qin Shou was still hesitating when he was discovered by the skinny monkey who turned around. He stepped forward and grabbed Qin Shou and ran into the shantytown epidemic area.

"Help, help..." The woman's voice continued to shout.

The group followed the sound and came to a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. Several people had heard the shouting and rushed over from their homes to help.

"That's, that's..." Zhong Yu was excited and rushed in.

"Mr. Zhong, do you know what it is?" Zhou Chang didn't have time to ask this question.

Zhong Yu didn't hear it, and the figure had disappeared into the crowded adobe house.

Zhou Chang stopped at the gate of the courtyard, not knowing what was happening.

The yard was very small, and the three low houses were packed with people coming in and out.

"Your Highness Prince Yi, would you like me to go in and investigate the situation?" Cui Bian asked.

Zhou Chang nodded and watched Cui Bian go in.

Cui Bian went in and asked a few questions, then he found out the situation. He came out and reported, "Your Highness Prince Yi, there is a scholar in this family who hanged himself. The one who called for help just now was his family member. It seems that it is too late. The person cannot be saved."

"Is it because of the epidemic?" When Zhou Chang heard the word "juren", he couldn't help but think of this imperial examination.

She had originally planned to do something big regarding Wen Qingyan's matter, but was caught off guard by the sudden outbreak of the epidemic.

Cui Bian shook his head with a look of regret: "It shouldn't be, at least the scholar who hanged himself didn't get sick."

"Why is that?" Zhou Chang asked casually.

Cui Bian also gasped: "It is said that it seems to be related to financial difficulties, and his two children have been infected with the disease."

"Ahem..." Zhou Chang didn't ask any more questions. When he turned around, he saw Qin Shou shrinking his head.

Zhou Chang then remembered that he had something important to do, and pointed to the pair of "monsters" in the patrol team behind him: "Master Cui, those two, one surnamed Jin and the other surnamed Jiang, let them accompany Chief Qin to take the pulse and examine the people nearby one by one, and examine them carefully."

Cui Bian was puzzled and wondered why Prince Yi knew about his subordinates.

His eyes happened to meet those of Jin and Jiang, so he waved them over.

The two men trotted over and came in front of Zhou Chang, not daring to say a word.

Zhou Chang had two layers of cloth on his face, which was considered to be a good cover, so he was not recognized. His eyes were smiling like a crescent moon: "The two of you remember, you must accompany Dean Qin closely and diagnose patients. You must diagnose all the patients in the nearby streets one by one, understand?"

Before Jin and Jiang could reply, Qin Shou was already terrified: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please don't joke with me. How can this be possible... I don't have..."

"Your Highness, hurry up, Dean Qin..." Zhou Chang looked up at the sky and calculated the time. It was almost noon now, so he couldn't help but urge, "Does Dean Qin still want to stay here overnight?"

Jin and Jiang were still confused as to why they were singled out. But when they heard that the person in front of them was the prince, they did not dare to say much. They were unwilling in their hearts and just bent their bodies lower.

"You two, why don't you accompany Dean Qin?" Zhou Chang ordered, turning around and clasping his fists to Qin Shou, "It's rare that Dean Qin is willing to work so hard and do everything himself. I admire him. Dean Qin will go first, and I will follow. Please."

Gao Yuan pushed Qin Shou from behind and pushed him between Jin and Jiang.

The two of them then sandwiched Qin Shou, and the three of them left together in disappointment.
