Chapter 144 You come and I go
Doctor Wu expected Song Yan's shock. He looked exactly the same as when he first said it.
Doctor Wu nodded, "Indeed."
"Can it really only treat malaria?!" Song Yan felt dazed and still couldn't believe it. He asked again, fearing that he was having an illusion.
"Really." Doctor Wu didn't care about his doubt. After all, this was indeed unbelievable news.
Hearing the affirmative answer from Doctor Wu again, Song Yan's face lit up with joy. He looked at Doctor Wu with shining eyes, and his expression was much more genuine than before.
"Doctor Wu, don't worry, just tell me what you want and I will definitely find it for you."
At this moment, he even forgot to call himself a general. It was no wonder that he was excited. It was because he knew too well the power of the miasma.
The southwest is hot and humid, with snakes, insects, rats and ants running rampant and miasma rampant. These are the basic influences that the world has on the southwest.
But Song Yan, who has been stationed in the southwest for many years, has a deeper understanding of this. Miasma is invisible and once infected, there is no chance of survival, basically there is no chance of survival.
People in the southwest all say that miasma is brought by miasma ghosts, and the solution is to exorcise the ghosts. Every summer, villages in the southwest will hold their own ghost-exorcism ceremonies in the hope of avoiding the invasion of miasma.
But the miasma has never been eliminated in the southwest. Not only that, the miasma has also spread to the military camps. Closing his eyes and recalling the tragic scene at that time, Song Yan still has lingering fears.
"Doctor Wu, you have actually developed a medicine to treat miasma. This is truly amazing. You are like the Hua Tuo of our time, or the Bian Que of the world. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the southwest."
As Song Yan spoke, he folded his hands in front of him and bowed.
Upon seeing this, Doctor Wu hurriedly stood up and supported him.
"General Song, you are really embarrassing me. I am just a commoner and I really don't deserve your respect."
Song Yan stood up with the help of Doctor Wu, looked at him sincerely and said, "What's the use of being an official? What's the most important thing is to do practical things for the people. Don't worry, during this time in the southwest, if you need anything or any help, just send someone to the general's mansion to find me.
I will do my best to help you.
After all, I am a public official in the southwest. It is my incompetence that has caused the people of the southwest to live in dire straits. Now that you have a way to protect the people of the southwest from the plague and pain, I will do my best to help you."
Doctor Wu himself had some opinions about Song Yan, but after hearing what he said, his opinion of him changed a little, but only a little, nothing more.
Doctor Wu is a doctor, so his facial expression is naturally not perfect. Whatever he is thinking will unconsciously show on his face.
Song Yan glanced at Doctor Wu's face, then looked away without any expression, as if he had not noticed anything, and still looked at Doctor Wu with gratitude.
After another round of greetings, Song Yan said that Doctor Wu and his group had come to the southwest to treat malaria despite the danger, and as the host, he naturally had to express his gratitude, so he offered to arrange accommodation for them.
However, Dr. Wu refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, General Song, but we are here to test new medicines and do not plan to stay in the city for long. In order to test new medicines, we will live with the patients."
This was an excuse, but it was also the truth. For the sake of the safety of the trip, Gu Jingzhi arranged a number of people to escort Doctor Wu, but this was the Song family's territory after all, and they could not but give them face. So after the people responsible for escorting Doctor Wu safely to the southwest, more than half of them went back, and the remaining number was exactly twenty or so.
The danger is only on the road. Once we arrive in the southwest, Song Yan will send someone to protect Doctor Wu.
Gu Jingzhi's guess was correct. Although Doctor Wu rejected Song Yan's arrangement, Song Yan still assigned more than 20 people to Doctor Wu in the name of protection.
It was agreed that Song Yan would find the location of the patient infected with miasma as soon as possible and then inform Doctor Wu, and the matter would be considered settled.
Doctor Wu said goodbye and left, and Song Yan stood up to see him off.
Song Yan stood outside the general's mansion, watching Doctor Wu get on the carriage and drive away, but his eyes never left the carriage.
At this moment, a man stood up behind him. He was tall and strong, but also had an air of scholarliness. This man was none other than Cui Ming's father, Song Yan's military advisor - Cui Jie.
"General." Cui Jie said humbly.
Song Yan withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into the mansion, and Cui Jie also turned around and followed.
Song Yan: "What do you think of what happened just now?"
When Song Yan and Doctor Wu were talking just now, Cui Jie was in the back hall of the main hall, and he knew about their conversation.
"We don't know whether what Doctor Wu said is true or not, but since the general has arranged our people around him, the truth of the matter will be known sooner or later.
But in my opinion, what Doctor Wu said should be true."
After all, there was no need for him to lie, as this lie was too easy to be exposed.
"Just like what I thought, Wu Daoqing is just a doctor. Gu Changfeng mobilized a large army to send him here, so I think there must be something going on."
"If they can really develop a medicine to treat miasma, it will be a good thing for us people in the southwest and a great achievement for the general."
After all, if this is true, although the medicine was not developed by their people in the southwest, they have provided them with a lot of help and convenience, so they naturally have a share of the credit for this success.
"Hahaha." Song Yan laughed loudly a few times, "Military Advisor, I like what you say."
It really touched his heart and he left.
The laughter stopped, Song Yan put away the smile on his face, and looked at Cui Jie expressionlessly, "Military Advisor, do you think Wu Daoqing is the person who developed the hemostatic drug hidden behind the Zhenbei Army?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he came to the southwest to test new drugs.
"This speculation is not without reason, but there is a lack of evidence. If it was him, how could Gu Jia Axe be confident in letting him come over?"
"That's right." Song Yan frowned and nodded. What the military advisor said made sense.
"Today I received a letter from Song Yan and his group. They have already returned from Jiayuguan and will be back soon." Speaking of this, Song Yan's face looked a little ugly, "The group went to Jiayuguan and returned empty-handed. Gu Changfeng is just an old fox.
It's really not easy to get an advantage from him, Wu Daoqing might just be the target he threw out." Song Yan couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories.
Cui Jie also didn't think that Doctor Wu was the one who developed the drugs for the Zhenbei Army behind the scenes. After all, Doctor Wu had been with General Gu for many years. If he had the ability, he would have developed it long ago and would not have waited until now.
