Medicine prescriptions are not fixed; responding to different complications that appear on the patients, the doctors would also make some adjustments based on their years of experience.

Wei Jinyi and Xiumei were also not idle. Although they didn’t understand medical skills, there were many things they could do, such as moving things, processing herbs, and assisting Wei Ruo like bodyguards.

Xiumei was used to doing these, but seeing Wei Jinyi, who was always polite and refined, doing these things, she felt somewhat incredible.

She heard people in the prefecture saying that the second young master hardly had any dealings with the people in the prefecture, let alone those outside, and seemed indifferent to everything.

But now he was helping his mistress do things that only servants would do in ordinary times, it seems that the second young master treats their mistress very differently.

After the continuous efforts of six doctors including Wei Ruo from the first to the third day of the New Year, the condition of the first eight patients who had received treatment had significantly improved.

Among them, Police Chief Xing who received the treatment first and had a robust physique, had fully recovered, and was no different from a healthy person.

Once confirmed the effective prescription, it was needed to start boiling the medicine in large quantities and deliver it to all patients inside and outside the city.

However, a large amount of medicinal materials had not been purchased yet, and Madam Yuan was still trying to find a solution.

Right now, what Wei Ruo and others could use were the existing stocks in the city. They had moved all the medicinal materials from various pharmacies in the city.

Due to the disturbance of the Japanese pirates and the constant wars, the whole Taizhou prefecture had been in a state of medicinal material scarcity for many years. It was difficult to obtain even more supplies after the intervention of Mr. and Mrs. Yuan.

But if there were only these medicinal materials, it would be far from enough. Just these few days of medication had already used nearly half of the amount, and the remaining would only be enough for about ten people at most.

Yet, the number of sick people was far more than that, and there were at least over a hundred people infected with this disease as far as they knew.

There were also many unknown cases, those who were unable to notify the Government Office, would not make a small figure.

This made the doctors who were originally supposed to be happy fell silent.

Dr. Cheng regretfully said, “It’s hard to come up with a plan, but it’s defeated by the lack of medicinal materials! People are dying every day from this disease! If the medicine could be used immediately, many people would have a chance to live!”

The other doctors also showed painful expressions, one after another.

Seeing everyone’s downturned mood, Wei Ruo said, “Although we are temporarily out of medicine, we still have acupuncture techniques. The treatment of the previous eight patients has already shown that my acupuncture technique is effective and can help patients alleviate their conditions to a certain extent.”

Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the other five doctors all looked at her in unison.

Doctor Cheng said, “But Wei Ruo, you’re the only one who knows this. With patients all over the city, how can you save them all?”

Wei Ruo said: “I am not the only one, don’t we still have you?”

Doctor Cheng said, “But we don’t understand the set of acupuncture techniques you use.”

All the doctors knew acupuncture, which was a basic training for them, but the skill level varied. Some were more skilled, some were not so much.
