306. Chapter 306 Breaking the Embankment

Ye Zhen followed Xia Yaohua and the others to the medicine storehouse. She wondered if she had read it wrong. Not counting the medicinal materials sent from the medical center this year, but based on the number of medicinal materials sent in previous years, the medicine storehouse of Huaijiang Medical Department was also It can't be that there are only so few herbs left, right?

"Is this... all the medicinal materials in the medical department?" Ye Zhen looked at the empty medicine storehouse, and then at the most common medicinal materials. These are the least valuable common medicinal materials, most of which are used to clear away heat and detoxify. There was no trace of the medicinal materials delivered.

These few bags of medicinal materials are nothing compared to the ones sent by the medical center.

Xia Yaohua said in a low voice, "This is pretty good. When we first came here, there wasn't even a single grass in it."

Ye Zhen took a deep breath, "Where are the medicinal materials sent by the medical center?"

When she was in the medical center, she liked to go to the medicine field the most, so she knew how many medicinal materials the medical center sent to Huaijiang Medical Department every year. Seeing this medicine storehouse, she no longer knew what to say.

"People here say that the imperial court has never sent medicine, and the medicine store has always been like this." Liu Yun said in a low voice.

"Didn't Doctor Qi think it's wrong?" Ye Zhen frowned, Huaijiang Medical Office seemed to have something obviously wrong, she didn't believe that Doctor Qi couldn't see it.

Xia Yaohua said, "How could Doctor Qi not be able to see it, but... so what if he could see it? The letter was written back, but there has been no reply so far. I just hope that nothing really happens, otherwise I will I don’t know how to use this medicine.”

Ye Zhen walked into the medicine storehouse to look at the medicinal materials. It was okay if she didn't look at them, but she was even more angry when she saw them, "Where did this come from? Where did it come from the medical center? It was temporarily sent to the mountain to pick them up." Are you here?"

"It's not bad. We have carefully selected and dried it for a few days. When it was first delivered, there were still weeds in it." Liu Yun said.

"It seems that Huaijiang still has people who can cover the sky with one hand." Ye Zhen sneered, she dared to be greedy even for the medicinal materials sent by the court, let alone the disaster relief money.

"The bank is broken! The bank is broken!"

Suddenly screams came from outside the medical office, a flash of lightning seemed to split the sky and the earth, and the rumbling thunder was louder than ever.

Ye Zhen was startled, and hurried out.

The government office next door had officers and soldiers coming in and out all the time, and the people who had been sheltering from the rain all came out to have a look.

"Hurry up, the embankment is broken, everyone go to a higher place."

"The bank broke! The bank broke!"

Huaijiang City, which was originally silent, seemed to wake up suddenly, and everyone moved things to the attic.

I don't know if the architecture of Huaijiang City is different from that of Kyoto. Most of the houses here have attics. Now most people are moving valuable things to high places.

"Oops! Qi Yizheng and the others are still on the side of the embankment." Ye Zhen was startled, thinking of Huangfuchen and Qi Yizheng, wondering if they would come back safe and sound.

"Xue Lin, I'm going to find Master and Doctor Qi." Ye Zhen said to Xue Lin who had been by her side all the time.

"Princess, don't do it! There must be chaos outside the city now, the river bursting its embankment is no small matter, you can't go out of the city." Xue Lin immediately stopped him, how could he let the princess take risks.

Ye Zhen knew that it was dangerous outside the city, and the medical office in the city also had no shortage of staff, but she was still worried about Huangfuchen and the others.

Xue Lin immediately said, "Princess, why don't you let the subordinates go to them first, and if there is news, the subordinates will report back immediately."

"Yes, princess."

In the evening, the water on the street outside had reached knees, and more and more people were seeking refuge in the city. These people from the villages outside the city, the government would send people to resettle them at first, but as the number of people increased, There was no place to settle in the city, so I had to simply leave it alone.

Ye Zhen stood under the eaves of the medical office, frowning and looking at everything outside. The city has already become a city of water, and one can imagine what the villages around the embankment will look like. She is still very worried about Master and Qi Yizheng, and hopes that they can Come back safely.

"Help, help!" At this moment, Ye Zhen heard someone calling for help.

Those who called for help were a mother and son who had taken refuge in the city. The child looked seven or eight years old, but for some reason, he passed out and lay motionless in his mother's arms.

"Quan Fu, go and bring that child here." Ye Zhen said hastily.

Xia Yaohua and Liu Yun are bandaging the wounds of other people. The medical office has already taken in many people who were injured during the escape. Dai Mei and Quan Fu also came to the medical office to help.

Quan Fu carried the child over, and the mother cried out, "Save my child, someone save my son."

"Put him on the bed." Ye Zhen said to Quan Fu, and immediately took the child's pulse, and when she felt the pulse, she was a little startled, and put her hand on his forehead, it was so hot! "Ma'am, when did your child get sick?"

"I don't know...I don't know..." The woman cried and shook her head, "I've been just taking care of my husband-in-law these days, and I just found out that the child is also sick."

Ye Zhen checked the rest of the child's body again, with a vague and bad premonition in her heart, "What's wrong with the child's father? Where is he?"

The woman cried and said, "I don't know. Many people around the house are sick. I don't know when he got it. Doctor Qi was going to see him. This morning...he didn't breathe in the morning. I I wanted to hold a funeral for him, but the flood rushed over, so I had no choice but to take the child and leave first."

Could it be that Doctor Qi was going to their village for a visit when he left home this morning? This disease does not seem to be curable.

"Yaohua, is there a separate room in the medical office?" Ye Zhen asked Xia Yaohua in a low voice.

"Only the medicine storehouse is empty now, some of the other rooms have been flooded, and some are already occupied." Xia Yaohua said.

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, and said to Dai Mei, "Go and clean up, let this child live in the medicine store first, and you all put on the masks."

Xia Yaohua is also a doctor girl. Hearing what Ye Zhen said, she immediately understood that this little boy's disease is different from other people's, and it may be contagious.

"I'll prescribe the medicine first, you should watch it more." Ye Zhen said, she was worried that there are still many refugees in the city who are sick like the little boy, if the same disease, I'm afraid it will spread faster.

And the village that the woman mentioned, if...if her husband has lost his breath, and it's too late to be buried, and now it's washed away by the flood, it's unknown where it will go.

It wasn't until nightfall that Xue Lin came back with Huangfuchen and Qi Jin. Huangfuchen's clothes were soaked through, but Qi Jin was unconscious, his forehead was covered with a white cloth, and his forehead was stained with blood.

"Master, what happened to Doctor Qi?" Ye Zhen asked hastily.

"When the embankment broke, it was knocked down, hit the corner of the wall, and was almost washed away by the water." Huangfuchen said in a low voice.
