312. Chapter 312 Seems Like an Old Friend Came

The situation in the village was even worse than Huangfuchen and the others had imagined. There were at least hundreds of people in the two villages. Except for those who had taken refuge in the city for medical treatment, there were only more than two hundred people in the village now, and at least 80% of them had contracted typhoid fever.

Huang Fuchen selected all the people who were not sick, and asked them to drink the medicine to prevent typhoid fever. Originally, he wanted these people to leave first, but Xu Ji felt that these people had been with those patients for a few days, and they could not be allowed to Leave the village to avoid getting sick after coming out and infecting others instead.

Ye Zhen didn't have any objection to Xu Ji's reason. She continued to cook medicine in the pavilion at the entrance of the village. She had already filled the spirit spring in a porcelain bottle yesterday, which should be enough for today.

"What is this?" Xu Ji had been observing Ye Zhen all this time, seeing that she deliberately added water from the porcelain bottle when cooking the medicine, he asked suspiciously.

"Refined medicinal soup." Ye Zhen replied lightly.

Xu Ji watched her boil two large pots of medicinal soup, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, "You don't think that you can save those people inside, do you?"

Ye Zhen asked without even raising her head, "If it's not possible, Master Xu has other methods?"

"When you have nothing to do, you will naturally use my method." Xu Ji said confidently.

Could there be any better way than curing those sick?

Ye Zhen smiled lightly, and ignored Xu Ji any more.

On the first day, Huangfuchen and Qi Jin brought people in to give medicine to those people, and asked them to find another place to live if they were not sick, so as not to be infected. At night, Huangfuchen and the others didn't leave the village. They had already been in contact with typhoid patients, and if they came out of the village, they might infect others, so they simply rested in the village.

"Girl, go back and rest too." Dai Mei persuaded Ye Zhen who still refused to leave.

Ye Zhen nodded lightly. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy, "I don't know what happened to Master, he has been running around these days, and I think he is very tired."

"Mr. Huangfu is a doctor, he will take care of himself." Dai Mei said.

She put the tea from Duojia Lingquan in a water bag and handed it to Master, and she didn't know if he remembered to drink it.

"Let's come back tomorrow!" Ye Zhen said, now that Master and Doctor Qi are both in the village, they are useless here.

Back in the city, Ye Zhen looked at the quiet road, the moonlight was shining softly on the ground, and she could see that the mud left by the stagnant water on the road had not been cleaned, the rain had stopped, and the people of Huaijiang City had already started cleaning. Their own house, they are still a little unresponsive. Although it used to be flooded at this time, it has never been like this year. Not only has the city been closed for a few days, but people are panicked because of the typhoid epidemic.

"Is the dam already under construction?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

Dai Mei said, "I heard today that the dam is being built, and Lord Zheng personally led people to build it."

Ye Zhen didn't understand how the imperial court would punish responsible officials after this disaster, now she just wanted to find out who corrupted the medicinal materials, and where did those medicinal materials go? If the elder uncle was conniving behind his back in the past, now that the elder uncle is gone, who else would dare to do this?

"Girl, we're here." The carriage stopped at some point, and the butler stood outside the door to welcome her.

The servants here are all arranged by Mo Rongzhan, and they take good care of Ye Zhen. If she didn't insist on it, these people would not let her go to the medical office.

"Princess, someone sent you a letter today." The butler said to Ye Zhen holding the letter.

Ye Zhen froze for a moment, "What letter?"

The butler took out a complete letter from his pocket, "Princess, here."

No one in the Lu family knew about her in Huaijiang City, could it be Murong Zhan? Impossible, if it was him, there would be no need to send her a letter through the housekeeper. Ye Zhen opened the envelope in doubt, and there was only one sentence in the letter, it seemed that an old friend came, see Jianglou tomorrow morning.

what does it mean? Does anyone else know that she is in Huaijiang City?

"Where is Jianglou?" Ye Zhen asked the housekeeper curiously.

The butler said, "It's near the city gate. The River Tower is two floors higher than the city wall. You can look at the river. It's actually called the River View Tower."

Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "Who is the person who came to deliver the letter?"

"It's a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old." The housekeeper replied.

I really don't know who it could be, the more Ye Zhen heard it, the more confused she became. Since she is an old friend and knows that she is in Huaijiang, she should go and meet her.

The next day, Ye Zhen woke up early in the morning. She didn't know what time the so-called old friend wanted to meet her, but she still had to go to the city to cook medicine, and she didn't have so much time to stay in the city. It was too early. Shan, the sun in the east has not yet shown her face, she has already arrived at Wangjiang Tower.

The Wangjiang building is three rooms wide and five floors high. There is no one in the lobby, probably because of the flood. The tables and chairs in the lobby seem to have just been cleaned, and some water stains are not completely dry.

Where is she going to find that old friend?

"Are you Miss Lu?" The shopkeeper came out and looked at Ye Zhen with a smile.

"How do you know my surname is Lu?" Ye Zhen asked with raised eyebrows.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "A guest officer upstairs said that if there is a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy coming this morning, it must be Miss Lu."

Ye Zhen frowned, "Shopkeeper, take me to meet that customer first."

"Miss Lu, go straight to the top floor and you will see him." The shopkeeper bowed and asked Ye Zhen to go upstairs.

It seems that the other party knew that she would come at this time. Ye Zhen was puzzled, so she went to the top floor. The top floor is different from the other floors. It is only used for looking at the river. The scenery is beautiful, and ordinary people can't easily go up there.

Ye Zhen came out from the stairs, saw the figure sitting outside the corridor, and recognized him immediately.

"Zhao Tianji? How could it be you!" She and Zhao Tianji had been together for half a month without saying a word, so she could recognize him naturally.

"Why can't it be me?" Zhao Tianji turned his head and smiled at her, "Don't you think that if I don't have an iron mine, I will run away like a stray dog ​​and dare not show up in Jinguo again?" Zhao Tianji snorted displeasedly, very unhappy Happy to be underestimated by Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen said, "That's not what I mean, but your iron ore is gone, and the villa is gone, aren't you afraid that people from the court will arrest you?"

"There is no notice to arrest me on this street, not even a picture, what am I afraid of?" Zhao Tianji asked, "If I hadn't heard that you are here to save people, I would not have come to this ghostly place."

"Then what's the matter with you coming to this ghostly place now?" Ye Zhen asked helplessly, "Isn't it because you want to catch up with us, we don't have time."

Zhao Tianji curled his lips, "I just happened to have something to pass by, so I really thought I came to see you."

"I have other things, let's talk about it when I'm done." Knowing that the so-called old man is Zhao Tianji, Ye Zhen left the city in peace.
