Chapter 932 Doctor Wu Arrives
Perhaps because of what happened last night, Dr. Wu woke up late the next day, which was unusual.
At his age, he sleeps less than before and usually wakes up very early.
Unable to endure lying on the kang, she got up obediently, sorted out the herbs, and counted the number of various medicines to pass the time.
Fortunately, he was alone, and if he was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry. In addition, because of his reputation as a barefoot doctor, the production team would give him a fixed work point subsidy every month, and he would be able to get some food at the end of the year.
In addition, he had rations for his own family and no family members, so he didn't have to save food to support other people in the family. He also didn't have to get up early and save a meal in order to save food.
Although he was awake, Dr. Wu felt as if he had been beaten up and his whole body was aching.
Doctor Wu didn't take it seriously and just thought it was caused by lack of sleep last night.
He was still complaining about himself.
"I am old and my body is not good. I felt so much pain last night even though I didn't do anything.
It seems that his body has deteriorated due to the pampered life he has been living in for the past few months.
When the weather warms up and the ice thaws, it seems I should go to the mountains more often to exercise and collect more herbs.”
After getting dressed and getting off the kang, he moved his body around the room. Feeling that the pain was not as severe, Dr. Wu decided to wash up and prepare something to nourish his internal organs.
But before he could finish cooking, while the corn porridge was still cooking in the pot, there was a knock on the door.
“In the first few months, there were only a few people knocking on the door.
These past few days, there has been no peace day or night."
Worried that the porridge in the pot would get burnt if he left to answer the door, Dr. Wu complained as he took out two sticks of burning firewood from the stove and turned the heat to low.
He added some more water into the pot and stirred it twice before he dared to leave this side and go open the gate.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that someone in the family had a cold and fever and came to get medicine.
According to the symptoms described by the visitor, Dr. Wu prescribed two days' worth of medicine for him. After sending the visitor away, he closed the door of the hospital and returned to the kitchen to continue preparing his breakfast and lunch.
"The cold medicine is being consumed at an increasingly rapid rate. After dinner, I should go find Xiao Liu, the educated youth, and ask her to prescribe some more.
Otherwise, based on the current consumption rate, I’m afraid that someday there will be no medicine left, which would be a big problem.”
After Liu Jingxue got up and filled her stomach, she counted the food in the warehouse.
Since the Chinese New Year period, and after two batches of food were delivered to the border, some more food has been stored in the warehouse.
This is the result of Tuanzi never leaving the soil in the space empty.
Looking at the food in front of her, Liu Jingxue thought that it was already late March, so she should stock up some more food and wait until early April before making another trip to deliver food to the border guards again.
Liu Jingxue had gone there twice before, and each time she delivered one month's worth of food. Based on the experience of these two times, the production speed of her own space could barely supply the food for these border guards.
At her current flying speed, three nights would be enough for her to travel across the entire border of Xia State.
But now she could only deliver food and cotton, and meat could only be obtained locally during the flight.
The places in the space where she raises poultry do not have the bonus of time formation, so they cannot be supplied.
Although the high mountain in the space also has a little time bonus, it is not as good as the spiritual soil for cultivation, and it cannot supply the border guards of the entire Xia Kingdom.
Liu Jingxue roughly estimated that she could only send a batch of meat produced in the space every six months, and the quantity would not be large, which would be enough to satisfy her hunger and improve her living standards.
In desperation, Liu Jingxue could only use local materials and try to get more meat to improve the lives of the soldiers.
Liu Jingxue was taking inventory there when she was informed by Tuanzi that the barefoot doctor from the Red Star Production Team was walking towards her house.
"Uncle Wu came to see me. Could it be that the stock of finished medicines is running out?"
Apart from this reason, Uncle Wu and I have no other connections, and he wouldn't come to me for anything.
"But I made a lot of medicine and sent it over. Could it be that it's gone so quickly?"
Liu Jingxue was a little confused.
You have to know that she prepared a lot more medicine last year than the year before. According to the consumption rate of medicine last year, there should be quite a lot of stock now. Uncle Wu would not come to her and ask her to make more medicine.
Although she was confused, it did not stop her from changing her clothes and preparing to go out to meet people.
After Liu Jingxue was ready and left the space, there was a knock on the door at the right time.
After feeling the temperature in the room and on the kang, and making sure that outsiders coming in would not notice the difference, Liu Jingxue quickly put on thick clothes and prepared to meet the guests.
After opening the gate and seeing Uncle Wu standing outside, Liu Jingxue pretended to be surprised.
"Uncle Wu, why are you here?"
Doctor Wu greeted with a smile, "Little Liu Zhiqing, long time no see."
The last time they met was when Liu Jingxue delivered medicine to them. It has been three months since then. It has indeed been a long time since they last saw each other.
Liu Jingxue stepped aside and invited, "Uncle Wu, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
Doctor Wu shook his head and said, "Little Liu, there's no need to go in. I'll just say a few words and then leave."
Knowing that Uncle Wu had concerns and was reluctant to enter a single woman's home for fear of being seen and attracting criticism, she did not force him.
"Uncle Wu, come and see me. Is there not enough medicine in the clinic?"
Doctor Wu nodded and said, "I really can't hide it from Young Master Liu, the clinic's drug inventory is indeed running low.
But not all the drugs, just two or three.”
After saying that, he quickly talked about the medicine that was running out of stock.
"Little Liu, you need to make more medicine for colds, especially the cold medicine."
Doctor Wu couldn't help but complain,
"For some reason, quite a few people in our production team have caught colds and fevers recently.
The number of people who came to get their medicine these days is almost catching up with the number of people who came in the previous two months.
And there are several patients in one family. Before one person in the family recovers, another person falls ill.
It feels like I’ve passed away.”
He couldn't help but click his tongue, "I don't know why the probability of this disease passing through the disease is so high. I have never seen anything like this before."
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this. Dr. Wu's words reminded her of some bad experiences.
She thought of another time, the Spring Festival that year, the raging COVID-19, and the city that was locked down.
She also recalled that during the three years of the epidemic, she had undergone countless nucleic acid tests.
Liu Jingxue's heart was pounding. Could it be that she had arrived in this time and space and encountered a new epidemic?
If it's true, that's really bad.
The medical level in this era is so backward that if this situation really happens, it will be a big deal.
When she came here, the modern epidemic had not completely ended after several years. Although the passage was relaxed and nucleic acid testing was no longer mandatory and a green code was required for passage, there were still many people with two, three, and four positive tests.
