Chapter 553: No One Is To Leave!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Let’s go to Salvation Hall first.”
Gu Qingluan recalled what Tang s.h.i.+jun had said the day before.
At that time, Tang s.h.i.+jun mentioned that many of the people who went to Salvation Hall were infected with a cold.
Gu Qingluan hadn’t paid much attention to it because this season was the high season for colds.
However, she now suspected that those who had gone to Salvation Hall were not suffering from a cold but had contracted the epidemic.
As the epidemic spread and erupted, there would only be more people going to Salvation Hall.
Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly came to an abrupt stop.
Inside the carriage, Gu Qingluan and her two sons were thrown forward.
Gu Qingluan held onto her sons’ collars with one hand, firmly planted her feet on the carriage floor, and stabilized their positions.
“What’s happening?” Gu Qingluan asked.
“Master, someone on the roadside suddenly fainted and fell in front of the carriage,” the carriage driver’s voice came in.
Gu Qingluan lifted the curtain and looked outside.
She saw a person lying on the ground, facing up.
Upon seeing the person’s complexion, Gu Qingluan’s pupils contracted.
“Both of you stay in the carriage and don’t come out.”
With that, she jumped out of the carriage and crouched down to check the person on the ground.
The person’s face was swollen, covered in sweat, and breathing heavily.
Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief, then placed her hand on the person’s pulse.
After examining the pulse, Gu Qingluan felt a heavyweight on her heart.
The symptoms were somewhat similar to the epidemic she had encountered before, but not entirely the same. If many people started showing these symptoms, it would undoubtedly be an epidemic.
She took out a silver needle and quickly inserted it into the person’s body a few times, then administered the prepared elixir into the person’s mouth.
Since gold needles were rare, and she antic.i.p.ated that she would have to treat many people, she used a silver needle moxibustion technique for treatment. If this method proved effective, it could be taught to the doctors in Salvation Hall first and then spread to other physicians outside.
After the treatment, Gu Qingluan lifted the person into the carriage.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi obediently sat inside the carriage.
Gu Xiaonan curiously looked at the unconscious man and asked, “Mother, did he contract the epidemic?”
Gu Qingluan nodded and looked at them seriously. “Most likely. I’ve treated him, but 1 don’t know the outcome yet. We’ll have to wait and see. Let’s continue on our way. If either of you feels unwell, be sure to let me know.”
Before leaving the mansion, Gu Qingluan had both of her sons take medicine to strengthen their bodies and protect against various poisons.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, they wouldn’t easily contract the epidemic, but there were always exceptions, so they had to be cautious.
The two boys nodded obediently.
Gu Qingluan urged the carriage driver to speed up.
The carriage raced through the streets.
Normally, it would take half an hour to reach their destination, but this time, the journey was cut in half.
However, before the carriage could reach the gate of Salvation Hall, it was blocked.
The area outside Salvation Hall and the surrounding streets were jam-packed with people.
Many were coughing and trying to squeeze their way inside.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingluan’s expression turned grim.
The situation was worse than she had expected.
In reality, in such circ.u.mstances, it wasn’t suitable for so many people to gather together.
The denser the crowd, the easier it was for the infection to spread.
But these people had no other choice but to come here because they simply couldn’t afford to visit a medical clinic.
Moreover, even if they had the money now, going to a clinic might not be much different from the situation here.
Just as Gu Qingluan was about to step down from the carriage, the sound of running footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Gu Qingluan extended her spiritual awareness and saw two squads of soldiers charging in their direction, holding long spears.
They didn’t immediately confront the people but surrounded Salvation Hall and the surrounding area. Each soldier had their face covered with a mask, and their expressions were stern.
“What are you doing?”
The sight was quite intimidating, and those who came to Salvation Hall seeking help couldn’t help but feel apprehensive..
