"Come to the box of white and black, and cold powder......" Wen Feng thought about it, during the high incidence of influenza in spring, it would be better to eat some of it himself, so he said: "Let's come to the box of blue roots!"

"Do you have a fever?" the woman looked at the woman with a hint of horror in her eyes and quickly closed the open window a little smaller.

Is the fever so scared that you are like this? Wen Feng said dissatisfiedly, "Do you have any medicine?"

"Twenty-one boxes of white and black, fifteen boxes of cold powder, and forty-one packs of banlangen. The man said from behind the window.

Wen Feng asked in surprise: "What did you say? Banlangen? Forty-one packs?"

"Well, buy it or not? If you don't buy it, I'll close the window!"

It's not that I haven't bought it, it's less than ten yuan a pack of banlangen, and you sell it for forty? Isn't it a black store, and you still like to buy it or not? You are not the only one in the pharmacy, Lao Tzu was not angry, and when he thought of this, he said angrily: "Don't buy it! Your store will close sooner or later!" Turning to leave, the woman sneered contemptuously behind him.

Wen Feng asked two pharmacies one after another, and there was actually a Banlangen that sold for a big pack of sixty yuan.

What is the situation? Why did Banlangen increase so much money overnight? He suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

In the end, Wen Feng went back to the first pharmacy to buy white and black and cold granules, and bought two large packs of banlan root for 80 yuan. Eat some for yourself, and the rest of the bag will be sold back, and maybe there will be some money.

Wen Feng took out his mobile phone from his pocket to check the time, and found that there was an extra short message, which Yang Lu sent, only five words, "I'm isolated!"

Wen Feng chuckled, he was not honest with a cold and fever, and went back to the past, "You can't fool me on April Fool's Day, when will you go to school?"

Not long after, Yang Lu's phone called, her voice mixed with panic, "I'm not kidding! Really, I'm really quarantined, I'm scared!"

"What isolation?" Wen Feng heard that her tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Where are you now? And what do you mean by quarantine?"

Yang Lu told him that before leaving the airport, the staff checked everyone's temperature, and Yang Lu and another colleague were detected to have a higher body temperature than normal, and were immediately controlled by two people wearing masks, along with other people who got off the plane together, and were also taken away, saying that they were going to be sent to the hospital for examination.

Wen Feng comforted her with a few words and told her not to worry, there is a hospital for everything. He hung up the phone, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. When I was buying medicine, all the people in those pharmacies turned pale-colored at the mention of fever? Could it be SARS? The news about SARS a few days ago went over and over again in my mind.

He walked home quickly, and as soon as he entered the house, he quickly turned on his computer and looked up the news about SARS.

**, people have been infected in Vietnam and Singapore, Guangdong in the mainland is the birthplace of this disease, and people in Shanxi have also been infected. Just two days ago, Xinhua News Agency first reported on the outbreak in Beijing. The main thing is how the virus is so arrogant this time, there is no cure at all.

Yang Lu will not get SARS, it is just an ordinary flu. Thinking of this, he felt more comfortable, and he texted Yang Lu over and over again, asking about her situation.

Yang Lu's body temperature is sometimes normal and sometimes feverish, but the suspicion has not been removed. Except for the female colleague who shared her room with her in Guangzhou, everyone else went back after a few days of observation without fever symptoms.

In addition to going to work every day, Wen Feng called Yang Lu to ask her about her current situation, and also paid attention to changes in the news. I don't know when it started, he found that there were fewer people taking the subway, fewer people on the bus every day, and more people wearing masks, and even the main entrance of the JY Building, where Company H was located, was also pressed with a temperature detection instrument. Wen Feng suddenly felt that the viruses that were far away were slowly getting closer and closer to him, so he also bought a second-hand bicycle, gave up the subway and buses, and rode to and from work every day.

A week later, Beijing completely fell into the panic of the disease, the atypical pneumonia was menacing, people smelled SARS discoloration, materials were rushed, the "miracle drug" Banlangen began its "legend", pharmacies all over the country, Banlangen has become a rare drug in short supply in short time, the price has risen by five to ten times, more profitable than Banlangen is white vinegar, a bottle of white vinegar about a piece, sold to fifty or even one hundred bottles during SARS. "84 disinfectant" is even more out of sale. Citizens are wearing multiple layers of masks to commute to work, and the number of suspected cases and deaths is rising day by day, causing panic throughout the city.

Although this kind of panic buying behavior has been criticized and ridiculed since then, every time there is a large-scale epidemic, a similar rush of panic buying will still appear. People may really believe in the "myth of banlan root and white vinegar" and "the legend of 84 disinfectant", or just for a psychological comfort, in short, people can't be a cold eye.

Wen Feng suddenly remembered what his cousin told him during the Spring Festival, he quickly called Wang Lihua, and the reply he got was this plague. Wang Lihua told him not to go to crowded places and stay honestly. And she herself received orders from above, ready to rush to the front line of the battle.

Listening to the old people, the more afraid you are, the more you will come...... It was also on this day that Yang Lu made a phone call to Wen Feng and told him that he had been diagnosed, and the word suspicious was officially removed from her. At that moment, Wen Feng sat slumped in front of the computer, his eyes glazed...... He wanted to say something comforting with his already trembling mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Wen Feng told me that at that time, he was really scared, and for the first time, he felt that death was very close to him, so real. Every day there is the latest news on the air, and life is so fragile and vulnerable in the face of death. But he was even more afraid of losing Yang Lu, he couldn't imagine how she survived during this period, although he went to see her a few times, but he was isolated, and he could only look at the familiar figure downstairs.

The next day, due to the SARS epidemic, Company H officially announced a holiday. The company needs two people to stick to their posts every day, and Liu Mo and Wen Feng are jointly responsible for the Wednesday duty work.

Wen Feng went back to Area Y alone on the second day of the holiday. Due to the impact of the SARS epidemic, the N company where he worked before had a rapid decline in the flow of passengers, and the benefits were worrying. Song Jianhui, Gou Xiaonan, and Li Tao are all on semi-vacation and are on call at home, but their wages are even less.
