Chapter 14: The Courtyard of Death

"Now the entire Paolou Village, Baizi Village, and the town are epidemic areas, and Xiaohe is located in the epidemic area, can the water here be used?" Nan Zhiqiao asked in a slightly reproachful tone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I ...... I didn't think of that just now. ”

It turned out that Senior Nan's tone was fierce because of this reason, the water in the epidemic area could not be used directly without treatment, such a common sense problem, it was actually committed again, no wonder Senior Nan was angry.

Ye Zhenzhen stood by the river awkwardly, thinking, she was about to admit her mistake again, she didn't learn the previous lesson, just as Zhenzhen was thinking of the reason, Nan Zhiqiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the camp, and said: "The north side of the tent is the washing area, where there is treated water, which can be used with confidence." ”

"Oh, I'll go over it. ”

Just took two steps, and was stopped by Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen asked a little puzzled: "Senior Nan, what else is going on?"

"After washing and washing, go back to the tent for breakfast, I have put the lunch box for you at the bedside, and gather at eight o'clock under the big banyan tree on the south side of the camp, from now on, you still have twenty-five minutes, don't be late. Nan Zhiqiao raised the mechanical watch on his wrist and shook it in front of Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, signaling not to be late.

Ye Zhenzhen ran with her legs, shouting as she ran: "The fastest speed, ensure that you assemble on time." ”

Looking at the woman's smart figure leaving, Nan Zhiqiao had a smile in his eyes, and muttered: "With such a confused character, how can you do it without anyone to protect you, it seems that you need to exercise well." ”

――

At eight o'clock in the morning, the team under the banyan tree was assembled, saying that it was a team, but in fact, there were not many people, Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen, Director Wang of Disease Control and Control of Province G, Section Chief Zhang of Disease Control and Control of City B, a doctor, a nurse, and two local policemen Xiao Li and Xiao Wang, a total of eight people, led by Nan Zhiqiao.

Putting on protective clothing, the team began to enter the village, and at the entrance of the village, the current village chief of Paolou Village, Liu Dazhi, who is also the youngest son of the old village chief, a man in his forties, was already standing there with two other tall and strong villagers.

Because of the communication with the old village chief before, Liu Dazhi cooperated with this operation, and at the same time, as the village head, he also ensured that the villagers would try their best to cooperate.

Nan Zhiqiao divided the team into two groups, Director Wang, Section Chief Zhang, police officer Xiao Li, a doctor and a nurse, led by Director Wang, starting from the west end of the village, to investigate each household, check the physical condition of the villagers, ask about contact history, and collect specimens.

The rest of the people, Ye Zhenzhen and the policeman Xiao Wang, led by Nan Zhiqiao, went directly to Liu Shi's house, where the first death case occurred.

Under the guidance of the village chief Liu Dazhi, everyone walked through the cement road in the center of the village, the village chief Liu Dazhi said while walking, this cement road is the best road in the village to the outside world, or a few years ago when the country implemented the "village to village" project was built, it is the only cement road in the village, the other paths are stone roads, the road to the back of the village is a mud dirt road, as long as it rains, the mud dirt road is muddy and difficult to walk, it is difficult to enter the mountain.

Nan Zhiqiao and his entourage soon arrived at Liu Shi's house in the center of the village, because Liu Shi's family of six ancestors and grandchildren all died, this place has been closed as the scene of the epidemic, and a cordon has been set up around the courtyard of the house, outside the cordon, because of the arrival of Nan Zhiqiao's group of people wearing white protective clothing, there are many villagers who are watching the excitement, the villagers are just watching, but no one is in front, and everyone has a more or less worried and frightened look on their faces.

Liu Dazhi, the village head, stood at the door, waved his hand to the surrounding villagers, and said: "The people from the CDC are here to investigate the plague, everyone should not gather around here, everyone will go home, we will ask from door to door after a while, cooperate, go home and wait, and disperse." ”

The village chief spoke, and many villagers dispersed one after another, only some half-grown children, who refused to leave because of curiosity.

Nan Zhiqiao provoked a cordon, pushed open the courtyard gate, and was the first to walk into the courtyard, Ye Zhenzhen followed in, and the rest of the people also rushed in, and the village chief put on the protective clothing brought by the emergency team at the door, and also followed into the courtyard.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Ye Zhenzhen looked around at this small courtyard of a southern farmhouse, there were four rooms in the middle, wings on both sides, and a shed for raising livestock on one side of the wings, two clotheslines were erected in the yard, and there were three or four pieces of clothes on the ropes that had not had time to be taken back.

The village chief pushed open the door of the hall and said: "At that time, Liu Shishi's family died in the house, and they were all angry when they were found...... When we called the police, the police came, saying it might be a contagious disease, so they notified the CDC, and then someone dressed like you came and took the body away. ”

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, the person who came to pull the corpse in the mouth of the village chief should be someone from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of City B, they should have collected specimens, one of which was sent to the disease control of Province G, and the sequence analysis of the isolated anthrax strain was still done by me.

Nan Zhiqiao began to assign tasks to Ye Zhenzhen to collect samples of the surrounding environment, and the policeman Xiao Wang was not a disease control officer, just standing at the door, watching if anyone was entering and leaving the yard at will.

Ye Zhenzhen searched around the house, there was no one living in the house for a few days, a layer of dust had fallen in the house, and there was still the breath of the owner's life everywhere, Ye Zhenzhen collected air, soil, dust, and several representative life samples, put them into the sampling box, and finally, walked out of the house with the sampling box.

When I returned to the courtyard, I found that the village chief and the policeman Xiao Wang were standing at the gate of the courtyard, one looking outward and the other inward.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen coming out of the house, the village chief greeted her and asked, "Doctor Ye, have you found anything? Did the plague spread from Liu Shishi's house in our Fortress Village?"

"There are no new discoveries yet, and the source of infection is uncertain. Ye Zhenzhen replied truthfully.

The village chief's face looked a little anxious, and he asked: "Has Director Nan found it over there?" We must find the source of infection as soon as possible, the lives of hundreds of village names in our Cannon Tower Village depend on you, this plague came suddenly, too weird, too terrifying......

The village chief was still thinking about it on the side, Ye Zhenzhen's eyes searched for Nan Zhiqiao's figure in all directions, looked around the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and found a white figure squatting in the livestock shed in the corner of the wing.

Ye Zhenzhen took two steps towards the livestock shed, and saw that Nan Zhiqiao was holding a glass bottle with a pair of tweezers, observing it carefully, with a solemn look in his eyes.

Walking to Nan Zhiqiao's side with the sampling box, he could smell a pungent fecal odor penetrating his nostrils through the protective suit, Ye Zhenzhen asked softly: "Senior Nan, is there a problem with this bottle?"
