Chapter 228: Entering the Epidemic Zone

Hu Yanxun has been very angry these days, like him, he is thinking of prancing horses and raising swords, fighting happily on the battlefield, and using the blood and heads of the enemy to achieve his own merits and strategies. Coming to Anyang Mansion to serve as the commander of the government soldiers was just a stepping stone and a turning point, so as to avoid the suppression of the Jingbei Hou faction in the north, and then find a suitable development opportunity. Even so, he only thought about coming to Anyang Jingsui to train the government soldiers, although he did not have the pleasure of getting on the horse to kill the enemy, but at least he was solemn and majestic.

Soldiers are born for war. In peacetime, although he was quite promoted on the surface, he did not have the part of the generals to speak in business.

Soon after coming to Anyang Mansion, Hu Yanxun felt bored, and the flood in Yishui County and the subsequent influx of displaced people made him lead troops to prevent the displaced people from entering the country...... In the face of those homeless people, they were not clothed, and in the face of leather whips and sticks, they only knew how to cry and howl, which made Hu Yanxun very stupid.

When he heard that there was an epidemic, Hu Yanxun finally found a point of excitement, if nothing else, because he knew that there was a way to control the epidemic the fastest and most thoroughly......

It's just that with the previous water bandit incident, Yun Yizhou negotiated with Hu Yanxun sternly, and let him out only after he made a guarantee that he would not act disorderly. Now, Hu Yanxun sees his soldiers like deer and horses, blocking and blocking the outflow of people from the epidemic area, risking the risk of being infected by the epidemic all the time, but there is no benefit to be gained......

The soldiers were not in a high mood, they were all worried and listless, Hu Yanxun as the main general, patrolling the intersections everywhere, and everywhere he went, he saw all the soldiers who were wilting, and they were all the despair of the people in the epidemic area who could be seen at a glance...... Infected by negative emotions such as depression, depression, sadness, and despair, and restrained by Yun Yizhou, Hu Yanxun was really angry, but there was nowhere to attack.

At this time, he suddenly heard the soldiers report that the Yun Governor's Mansion had sent people and was going to enter the epidemic area, Hu Yanxun was surprised, his heart moved, and he raised his feet and walked out of the tent.

That Yun Yizhou restrained him and didn't let him 'go out of place', but he sent people into the epidemic area to die, what is this not 'disorder'? He wants to see what means Yun Yizhou has used to send people to death in the epidemic area and deceive them? Or coercion?

But when he walked out of the tent and saw the thin and tall figure, he was stunned at first, and then a burst of anger rushed straight up.

What is this woman doing here, not at home to take care of her two children? In the blink of an eye, I saw the head of the prefect's yamen standing with the woman, and my heart was excited, and I immediately understood the purpose of this woman's coming here - she was the one who wanted to enter the epidemic area!

Kicking and striding up the meteor, the woman's gaze without dodging or flinching was simply a provocation in his opinion, which made Hu Yanxun's heart even more angry, and without saying a word, he opened his mouth and scolded: "What are you doing here?" Don't go back yet! ”

Hu Yanxun said this, Qiu Chen and Qin Li didn't think anything about it, the head catcher of the prefect's yamen and the soldiers who had been wilting before, but suddenly drank a bowl of ice plum soup like a dog day, and the spirit suddenly became energetic, and looked at the commander with bright eyes, and then looked at the man who looked exceptionally handsome here, everyone quickly made up a story in their hearts, but the plot of each person's story was different, but they were probably inseparable from Xiangyan.

Hu Yanxun's opening remarks were somewhat surprising to Qiu Chen's arrival - this sound quite polite, but it also contains a faint sense of concern. She thought that it would be best for the two to see each other again, but they were strangers.

Slightly stunned, Qiu Chen also regained his composure, and bowed to Hu Yanxun: "In Xia Qiu Chen, I have seen Lord Shishi!" ”

After the salute, seeing that Hu Yanxun's eyebrows were frowning and he was about to reprimand, Qiu Chen followed up and said: "Qiu Chen has no great ambitions, but the epidemic is ruthless, seeing that his relatives and fellow villagers are about to be invaded by the epidemic, and it just so happens that Qiu Chen knows a little about medicine, so he has no choice but to come over and ......."

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen looked at Hu Yanxun and saw that his face seemed to be softened, so he said: "This time, Qiu Chen entered from here, and he couldn't leave before the epidemic was cleared, and he would have to rely on the assistance of Lord Servant in the future." ”

As he spoke, he threw his hand to the ground and gave a deep salute.

Hu Yanxun's face was ugly, staring at the woman who slowly straightened up, looking at her thin and thin, looking at her pale, looking at her calm eyes and firm expression...... At this moment, he suddenly found that he didn't know anything about this woman, except for a little imagination in her appearance and memory, it made him feel extremely strange, as if he had never understood her, as if their five-year husband and wife relationship was just a dream, in retrospect, it was fantasy without a trace of reality.

In addition to being unfamiliar, Hu Yanxun may not have realized that when countless people were thinking about fleeing and avoiding the plague, this woman asked for her own life to enter the epidemic area to resist the plague...... This kind of bravery and perseverance actually made Hu Yanxun see in her the heroism and tragedy of the warriors rushing to the battlefield.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone--

Hu Yanxun remembered such a sentence inexplicably, but when he remembered the second half of the sentence, he threw it away from his head.

Looking at Qiu Chen coldly, Hu Yanxun dropped a sentence and said, "In this case, you can do it yourself!" ”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the junior officer in charge of guarding the intersection immediately bowed down and received the order, directing the sergeants to move the rejection horse and the deer away.

Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu waved their whips, and the carriage creaked softly, started slowly, and slowly walked into the closed area. Qiu Chen also thanked Quan Zhutou, turned over and got on the horse, clamped his legs, Rouge raised his long legs, and followed the carriage through the blockade with a sound.

Dada, Dada...... The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the wind swept like a wind.

Before the horses could get closer, I heard a man's voice shouting: "Lin Niangzi, slow down!" Wait......"

Qiu Chen reined in the rouge, turned the horse's head, and looked back, and saw Yun Jichen, who was dressed in a madder-colored brocade robe, with his hair flying, his cheeks flushed, and his face rushed over with a rush on his face, but several soldiers rushed up and grabbed the horse's reins, and stopped abruptly!

Yun Jichen beat the horse and galloped, and after being strangled suddenly, his body rushed forward, almost turning the onion upside down, but fortunately, Hu Yanxun next to him reached out and dragged it, so as to avoid the bad luck of him falling out of the horse and breaking his neck. Yun Jichen didn't care about thanking Hu Yanxun, he only arched his hand indiscriminately, but his eyes were staring at Qiu Chen, and he shouted a few times: "Lin Niangzi, you can't go, come back quickly!" ”

Qiu Chen sat on horseback, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the second son, it's just that I have already come in, and I can't leave before the epidemic is cleared, and I hope the second son will bear with me!" ”

"Contains a fart! Liao San and I handed over the mess at home to you, you didn't take good care of it, but you ran into the epidemic area on your own, what kind of hero do you say you are a girl......" Yun Jichen was anxious and angry, and he burst into foul language without words.

Qiu Chen's nose was sour and his eyes were red when he heard this. She raised her head, blinked her eyes, and tried her best to pour back the tears that poured out, and then she smiled and said loudly: "Yun Er, don't think that I will go in and never return, I will remember what you scolded me today, you wait for me to come back, and then settle accounts with you!" ”

After speaking, he turned the horse's head, ignored Yun Jichen's shouting outside the barricade, drove the horse, and walked away with more than a dozen carriages, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of everyone.

Yun Jichen flicked the horsewhip fiercely, shook off a servant and a soldier who were still holding his legs, and shouted: "Still holding the master!" ”

After speaking, he turned the horse's head and ran back, ran a few steps, and then urgently turned the horse back, jumped off the horse and bowed to Huyanxun: "Just now, Yun Er was worried that his friend had lost his manners, and there was a rudeness, and I hope that Lord Huyan will have a lot of Haihan!" ”

Hu Yanxun snorted Ha Luha, and also returned the salute: "The second son is polite." ”

Yun Jichen straightened up, smiled at Hu Yanxun: "This epidemic is critical, Lord Huyan knows better than me, Yun Er has a reluctant request, and I hope that Lord Huyan will take care of it, if there is any news or what is needed, I also hope that Lord Huyan will send a message to Yun Er in time." Although Lin Niangzi is a woman, she is worthy of my admiration for this mustache and eyebrows, Yun Er has nothing else to do, he can't do his best for the country and the people like Lord Huyan, and he can also make a little effort in the scheduling of medicinal materials, I hope Lord Huyan will not dislike Yun Er is useless! ”

These words, when Yun Jichen said it, can be said to be all-encompassing, not only exalting Hu Yanxun, but also explaining that he is worried that Lin Niangzi is just a feeling of 'admiration', which makes people have no other thoughts.

Yun Jichen's words were so earnest and thoughtful, although Hu Yanxun was tired of the Yun family's father and son, he had to sell face and agreed. Yun Jichen smiled again and asked Hu Yanxun to get together for a drink when he returned to the city after his business, and then he bowed his hand and said goodbye and got on the horse. He had to rush back to Anyang City as soon as possible, and he had to go to Liujiaao to see the situation of the Lin family. Everyone in the Lin family didn't know that Qiu Chen had entered the epidemic area, if the news leaked out, I don't know what the family's old and young were in a hurry!

Qiu Chen entered the epidemic area without looking back, he couldn't follow up, at least let her have no worries.

Besides, Qiu Chen, after riding a horse into the epidemic area, all he saw were abandoned fields and vacant villages - when the isolation fence was set up, Hu Yanxun still expanded ten miles, emptied the people, and made an isolation belt, and now Qiu Chen passed through this area.

Although Qiu Chen couldn't agree with such a measure, he also knew intellectually that it was necessary to do so, and in today's era when there is no disinfection and eradication method, such a thorough isolation can prevent the spread of the plague to the greatest extent.

It's just that reason is reason, and when I really see this desolation, I still can't accept it emotionally for a while.

After walking a short distance, Qiu Chen took out a mask from his sleeve and put it on, and at the same time asked Qin Li, Zeng Daniu, and Chen to also wear masks. He also instructed Chen that from the beginning of entering the epidemic area, all the clothes and masks worn must be cooked after washing.

The quarantine area is not far from Qinghe County, less than twenty miles away, Qiu Chen and his party did not drive the horses, and they only walked for less than an hour to arrive.

After passing through the separation zone along the way, you can gradually see the traces of people, but the people you see are extremely dark, their expressions are dull and numb, and their eyes look empty and numb, and they seem to have no despair.

Seeing Qiu Chen's group, they were strong and strong, and they walked towards Qinghe County, and the people they met all showed surprise on their faces. It's just that when I looked at it, it was not only surprised, but also something deeply obscure, which made the always calm Chen have some palpitations. However, Qiu Chen's expression remained unchanged, but he kept paying attention to the situation of the people he saw.

Maybe it's because the lockdown has been going on for a long time, and there aren't too many people seen along the way, and there is no imaginary situation where the epidemic area is full of dead bodies.

This way into Qinghe County, the city gate is wide open, but there are still two veterans on duty at the gate, but they also shrank on the root of the city wall, and they don't even look at the people who come and go.

Also, knowing that the plague is raging here, I am afraid that there are no long-sighted bandits who come here to make trouble, and it is really not interesting to guard and care about the city gate.

The group entered Qinghe County, the sky was getting darker, and they found the county government in the twilight of Sihe, Qiu Chen waited outside the door, Qin Li entered the yamen and looked for a while, only to find an old man who stayed behind, and asked only to know that after the epidemic came over, Wu Yunqiao, the county commander of Qinghe, took the officials and the young men gathered every day to patrol around, and the sick and dead were incinerated in a centralized manner, so as not to expose the corpses in the wilderness and cause a more serious spread of the plague.

The old man leaned over, touched the corners of his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "...... My family took the officials to patrol day and night, and they haven't returned to the county government for several days, and now, Lao Er is left alone in the yamen. ”

Seeing that the old man with pale hair was choked up, not to mention Qiu Chen and Chen, even Qin Yong and Zeng Daniu also felt very sad.

Qiu Chen had already dismounted, so he stepped forward at this moment and said to the old man: "Old man, we were sent by the prefect to deliver medicinal materials, and we also came in to assist Wu County in preventing and controlling the epidemic...... Let's see if you can arrange a few rooms for us so that we can unload these medicinal herbs. ”

The other old men didn't hear clearly, but they heard the words 'sent by the prefect to deliver medicinal materials' clearly, and their faces were full of sadness, and they showed a hint of hope: "Is it really sent by the prefect?" That's great, that's great...... Come, come, invite a few people to come with the little old man, now this county government, no, the most important thing in the entire Qinghe County is the house. ”

While chattering, the old man quickly led Qiu Chen and his party to the corner gate, opened the corner gate, and did not forget to remove the threshold, leading Qiu Chen and others and a dry horse vehicle into the Qinghe County Yamen.

The old man took Qiu Chen and the others into an independent courtyard near the corner gate, with three main rooms, two wings in the east and west, and a small kitchen against the west wing.

When he arrived here, he didn't care about freshening up, and while letting Lao Cangtou try to inform the county commander Wu Yunqiao, he personally took Qin Li, Zeng Daniu and Chen to unload the car. The medicinal herbs were unloaded in the west room of the main house, and more than a dozen bags of rice and dried meat were unloaded in the wing next to the kitchen, and the Chen family lived in the inner room. Qin Li Zeng Da Niu put his luggage in the east compartment, even if it was properly settled.

The group of four didn't bring much luggage, just a few changes of clothes.

After unloading the car, Chan began to clean the kitchen and prepare to make a fire to boil water. Qiu Chen asked for boiling water for washing and drinking, and this boiling water was inseparable for a while. What's more, when it's late, you have to make a fire to cook.

Qiu Chen washed his hands and began to pack up the medicinal materials, first took out the preventive pills he brought, then packed up the medicines he brought, hung a lantern at the door, lit the stove and put the pot in the car, and began to concoct it in the same way.

In such a situation, it is impossible to have all the necessary equipment for concoction. If there is no bamboo basket, the old bamboo curtain on the door is removed and spread on the ground to dry the medicinal herbs; There was no dustpan, so Qiu Chen used a hat as a dustpan to divide the medicinal materials......

Qin Li helped Qiu Chen to be busy here, while Zeng Da Niu helped Chen carry water, light the fire, and after boiling the water, he scooped out the hot water and sent it to the yard to dry, ready to wash his hands...... Chan began to wash rice and cook. There are no vegetables here, so I steam the jerky with rice.

After Chen finished cooking, the four of them gathered in the courtyard to eat dinner, and then, Zeng Da Niu continued to boil water, and Chen cleaned all the rooms with boiling water, wiped down all the furniture and things with soap and alcohol, and covered the houses with the bunks he brought......

When the old man found Wu Yunqiao, the commander of Qinghe County, and turned back to the county government together, it was the end of the day. Wu Yunqiao traveled around the epidemic area for many days, taking the found Langzhong to see the patients for medical treatment, and asked the officials and young men to collect the corpses and incinerate them in a centralized manner...... was already tired, and he was a little unimpressed by what the old man said, the people sent by the prefect.

What if the prefect sent people, and it wasn't a god from heaven, could it still eliminate this raging plague? Therefore, Wu Yunqiao didn't plan to pay attention to the prefect's envoy, but as soon as he entered the county office, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, and there was a faint smell of vinegar that had not yet dissipated...... Wu Yunqiao's already frowning brows couldn't help but deepen a lot, and at the same time he stopped and looked to the west.

Lao Cangtou Tingbo was originally Wu Yunqiao's old servant since he was a child, and he followed him all the way to Qinghe County from his hometown, and he has always been loyal, and he also has the deepest understanding of Wu Yunqiao's stubborn temper. Just seeing Wu Yunqiao's disapproving face, Tingbo knew that Wu Yunqiao had been suppressed for many years, and he had a grudge against the prefect Yun Yizhou, plus Qinghe County had been sealed for more than half a month, and he had not seen a grain of rice or a single medicinal herb in Anyang City, so this resentment was naturally much deeper, and he naturally did not want to see the people sent by the prefect Yun at this time. But according to the old man, the person who came back seemed to be doing practical things, and the cart pulled in addition to the two carts of grain and rice that they brought were medicinal materials, and the simple luggage could almost be said to be none, and as soon as they arrived in the yard, they were only simply placed, and they began to sort out the medicinal materials......

The epidemic situation in Qinghe County is severe, and the adults of their own family take people to work outside every day, but the epidemic has not abated at all...... Yes, I have been looking for an opportunity to persuade Wu Yunqiao.

At this moment, as soon as he saw Wu Yunqiao stop and look to the west, Tingbo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Those few people are dressed simply, except for medicinal materials, they brought two carts of rations, and there is almost no other luggage. As soon as the old servant went out to look for the lord, they had already begun to pack up the medicinal herbs......"

Not to mention, Tingbo really knows his own adults, what Wu Yunqiao hates most is arrogant and exaggerated people, and he can tolerate simple, honest and diligent people, even if there are some small mistakes.

Sure enough, listening to Tingbo say this, Wu Yunqiao had some intentions, not to mention anything else, he was really anxious about the raging plague, these days, Langzhong who can move in the county has been dragged by him to diagnose and treat epidemic patients, and the prescriptions have come out one after another, and all the medicinal materials in the county's medicine shops have also been collected by him, and a pot of medicinal soup is boiled out and poured into the patient, but it has no effect. Should the disease be passed on or not, and should it be dead...... Moreover, the number of dead people is increasing day by day, and some villages are already empty, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a desperate village.

When he came to the gate of the small courtyard, before entering the door, Wu Yunqiao saw that the four people in the courtyard were busy, some were burning fires, some were frying medicines, some were drying medicines, and one was thin and thin who was checking the drying of medicinal materials. As if he felt that the medicinal herbs were ready, he went into the house, and after a moment he turned back with a small scale in his hand, and then, by the light of the lantern at the door, began to weigh the medicinal herbs and dispense them in the courtyard.

A servant woman in her thirties took out a knife of yellow bamboo paper and spread it on the ground, and the thin man put it on the paper while weighing it, and whispered to the servant woman: "Sister-in-law Chen, each pack is for ten people, you make a mark." Later, I'll divide some five-person bags, don't take the wrong one when you use it. ”

Weighing the medicinal materials, Qiu Chen told Qin Li and the others what he should explain: "...... When putting sugar and salt in the water, put one spoonful of salt and two spoonfuls of sugar in a bucket of water...... Oh, by the way, Sister-in-law Chen Ming'er remembered to fill a few water bladders with boiling water in the morning, otherwise it would be difficult to find water when she went out......"

He also said, "You must remember that whether you are out or when you come back, as long as you drink water and eat, you must wash your hands." Not only can you not drink the water outside, but you can't wash your hands. You must also remember that these days are harder, and you can't take off your mask except to wash your face......"

Saying this, Wu Yunqiao noticed that the four people in the courtyard were wearing very ordinary clothes, that is, one of them was wearing a white handkerchief on his face, and he thought it was the 'mask' that this person just said.

Standing outside the door and watching this time, Wu Yunqiao also found that although these four people were busy, they all looked calm and calm, and did not show any panic and worry. Judging by the situation, this thin figure is the main one, and the other three are all followers.

"Tingbo......" Wu Yunqiao called in a low voice, originally wanted to ask the names and identities of these people, but Tingbo seemed to have misunderstood, happily agreed, took a few steps forward, and reported to the door: "Everyone, our adults are back!" ”

In fact, Qiu Chen was the only one who didn't know that there was someone at the gate of the road in the courtyard, Qin Li and Zeng Daniu were all equipped with kung fu, and Wu Yunqiao heard footsteps before he arrived at the door. The Chen family is used to serving people, and what they are best at is to look around and listen to all directions, so as soon as Wu Yunqiao and Tingbo arrived at the door, she also noticed it, but her wife was silent, and she just didn't know the way.

Tingbo shouted, Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, then calmly put down the scale in his hand, turned around and greeted the gate a few steps, and smiled generously: "Qiu Chen of Anping County has seen Lord Wu!" ”

This behavior was generous and upright, without a trace of lightness and impetuousness, and Wu Yunqiao, who was watching, couldn't help but nod secretly. I had a good impression of Qiu Chen in my heart, Wu Yunqiao was not a person who liked to take a shelf, so he raised his hand lightly to exempt Qiu Chen, and he walked straight past Qiu Chen to the herbs in the courtyard.

Qin Li and the three of them all got up and saluted in their respective positions, Wu Yunqiao didn't look at it, waved his hand, turned his head and asked Qiu Chen, "What kind of recipe are you worthy?" Used to fight the disease? ”

"Exactly." Qiu Chen also followed, and when he asked, he nodded and said, "Before coming here, I learned about the symptoms of the epidemic and consulted ancient medical books to figure out a prescription...... However, I have not seen any patients before, and this prescription has not been verified, and I dare not determine whether it is really as effective as the book says! ”

Qiu Chen's recipe is naturally modern and verified, but she didn't dare to say it full, after all, bacteria and viruses also mutate, and the difference between before and after is six or seven hundred years, who knows if the germs that caused this cholera are the same as those of modern times, and the efficacy of this prescription is naturally not so certain.

As soon as she said this, she saw that Wu Yunqiao's face was uncontrollably disappointed, so she smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, adults, you have made a lot of effort for this epidemic, even if you are not satisfied with the effect of this prescription, you can find a suitable prescription when you see the patient." ”

In this case, Qiu Chen dared to say it. The most unfortunate is the worst, so many modern antibacterial and antiviral prescriptions, one by one, you can always find a definite curative effect.

Wu Yunqiao's face was a little pale, and Qiu Chen didn't let him, but just told him about some prevention and control measures that needed attention.

Seeing that Wu Yunqiao listened attentively, Qiu Chen also spoke carefully, and Tingbo was happy and worried on the side. Happily, there is hope for the epidemic that worries my own adults that has been cured; The worry is that my family has been busy and tired outside for a day, and now that the time has passed, maybe I haven't eaten for a day, and if I continue to be so hungry and tired, maybe I won't be able to bear it at that time.

So, taking advantage of the gap between Qiu Chen and Wu Yunqiao's conversation, Tingbo interjected: "Mr. Qiu, my family is tired for a day, and it is estimated that the water and rice have not touched the teeth......

The lights were dim, Qiu Chen didn't pay much attention to it just now, but when he took a closer look, Wu Yunqiao's face was really not good-looking, his face was dark and yellow, his eye sockets were deep, and his lips were dry and a layer of skin floating...... It's really emaciated.

"It's not under it, I didn't notice that the adults were tired. It just so happens that I still have some rice and jerky here, why don't you let Sister-in-law Chen heat it up for the adults, and the adults are eating and talking while eating? ”

Wu Yunqiao walked around the epidemic area every day, and saw a lot of the situation of epidemic patients, just listened to Qiu Chen's detailed explanation and analysis of the prevention and control measures, combined with the symptoms he saw, the more he listened, the more he felt that what Qiu Chen said in front of him was credible and reliable, and he was listening to it, so he was naturally reluctant to leave, and when he heard Qiu Chen say this, he naturally agreed to it.

Qiu Chen asked Chen to go to the hot dishes, and turned his head to see that although Wu Yunqiao agreed, he had no intention of washing his hands and cleaning them, so he smiled and said, "Since Lord Wu wants to eat, he has to wash his hands and clean his face!" ”

Wu Yunqiao didn't think it was a pestle, and agreed with a smile. Qiu Chen led him to the basin, filled him with boiling water that was warm, took soap for him to use, stared at him and washed his hands and face carefully, changed the water again, and washed it again, only then did he feel a little relieved. remembered that Tingbo went out to find Wu Xianling, but he was afraid that he didn't eat, so he beckoned Tingbo to wash his hands and clean his face.

At this time, Chen's had already warmed up the meal and served it, but it was just a bowl of clear soup, a bowl of rice and a few pieces of jerky, but Wu Yunqiao and Tingbo ate it very sweetly. Qiu Chen also explained the prevention and control measures to him one by one, and only handed over how to deploy manpower and other matters to Wu Yunqiao.

Wu Yunqiao's parents in a county are landlords, so naturally they didn't push back, they agreed repeatedly, and resigned Qiu Chen and went back. Before leaving, Qiu Chen reminded him again to go back and wash and change his clothes thoroughly. The worn clothes have to be steamed and boiled before they can be worn again, and Wu Yunqiao also agreed one by one.

When I turned back, I saw that Chen had already washed the dishes and chopsticks that Wu Yunqiao had used just now and put them in the pot to cook. The chairs and stools he had sat on and the things he had touched had also been carefully scrubbed and cleaned up, and he had done everything very well, Qiu Chen was relieved, and continued to prepare a few packets of medicine, and then Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu helped to collect the medicinal materials that had been dried in the stall, and then they cleaned up and went back to the house to rest.

Tonight, we must sleep well and recuperate, and we will enter the epidemic area from tomorrow...... That's a big battle!

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiu Chen got up, Qin Li, Zeng Daniu and Chen had already gotten up, and Chen had already made breakfast. Qin Zheng and Zeng Daniu had already loaded the medicine bags, medicine boxes, sugar and salt packets that had been packed last night into the car, and the horses had also been fed.

Seeing Qiu Chen coming out of the house, Chen immediately put breakfast on the table, Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu still came over to eat at the same table, but Chen was about to retreat to the kitchen after putting down breakfast, but was stopped by Qiu Chen: "In this case, sister-in-law Chen should not pay attention to those vulgar etiquette, let's eat together and act together, which also saves a lot of trouble." It's no better than at home, and I don't know what the situation is after eating, and I don't have so much effort to pay attention to those. ”

Hearing her say this, Chen no longer insisted, took a set of dishes and chopsticks, and the four of them sat around to eat.

After eating here, Wu Yunqiao also ate, and was ordering in front of the yamen hall, the general officials in the hall had the same dark complexion, and the clothes on their bodies were also sloppy.

What made Qiu Chen frown even more was that these officials were probably dragged around by Wu Yunqiao these days, checking the epidemic situation, and collecting corpses. At the time of the pandemic, such a lack of hygiene is the most important thing!

was thinking about how to open his mouth to tell Wu Yunqiao about this, and he heard Wu Yunqiao in the hall looking at the hall, his face was ugly, and he was faintly sad and sad.

The team leader led by the officials was bowing down and reporting: "Back to my lord, last night, Gu Sanlang fell ill when he returned home, and when his subordinates rushed over, he was no longer dead...... Early this morning, his subordinates brought his brothers to send Gu Sanlang to the transformation field...... My lord...... Woohoo......"

The head of the squad was a burly and tall man, with a scruffy beard, who hunched over and cried as he spoke. When he cried, the officials in the hall also touched the fear and sadness in their hearts, and for a while, the county hall was full of crying.

Qiu Chen's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but redden.

blinked his eyes, tried to suppress the tears, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Tingbo, who was also wiping his tears, waiting at the entrance of the hall, and gave him a look.

Tingbo knew the opportunity, nodded slightly, and immediately walked to Wu Yunqiao's side and whispered a few words. Wu Yunqiao pulled his sleeve and wiped his eyes and walked out of the lobby.

"Lord Wu, it can't go on like this, the epidemic of the people can't be controlled, and the officials will also pass it on. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools......" Qiu Chen whispered to Wu Yunqiao about the things that the officials should pay attention to, and suggested that the officials should clean it first, she went to boil a preventive decoction for the officials to drink, and then prepared some masks for the officials to wear. In the future, I still point to these officials to do it, without them, there is no one under my hands, and there is no way to operate.

Gu Sanlang was already the second official to die of the epidemic, Wu Yunqiao didn't expect it before, but after Qiu Chen, he naturally knew the benefits and disadvantages, so he readily agreed.

Qiu Chen suggested again: "My lord, there is not enough manpower in the county government now, you understand the situation, see which officials have more neat homes and good physical condition, find a few families to move in and live together, and after that, sewing and mending, washing and washing must be done by manpower." Besides, the family members can be placed in the county government, and the officials can rest assured that they will go out on errands. After the officials have washed and taken the preventive decoction, we will first find a suitable place to gather the patients for management. One family member is allowed to accompany each patient...... In this way, the patient's condition is easy to grasp, the medication is convenient, and the key is that the patient's vomiting and diarrhea can be handled in a unified manner...... Those are the root causes of the spread of the disease! ”

Wu Yunqiao didn't immediately agree this time, but frowned and said: "Now there are 40,000 or 50,000 people infected by the epidemic, if all the patients are gathered together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."

Qiu Chen immediately said: "You can't concentrate in one place, you can concentrate in two or three places, the focus is to concentrate, and then the adults will find a few Lang Zhong who have good medical ethics, and I will explain the method to them in detail, and then disperse to various concentration points...... The epidemic is rampant, and it will not be able to control the epidemic without ruthlessness and vigorous efforts. ”

Wu Yunqiao did not hesitate this time, and immediately agreed.

Qiu Chen immediately took the Chen family to find Tingbo, went to the county government treasury to find a big iron pot and came out, and set it up in front of the duty room next to the county office, and set up firewood to boil hot water.

Zeng Da Niu went back and got a few pieces of soap, and let those officials wash well in the duty room, the weather is hot, the sun is hot, these people first wash their clothes and pants, dry them outside in the sun and then take a bath. When they finished showering and their clothes and pants were dry, they were just right to put them on.

The officials cleaned up, Zeng Daniu brought a stack of masks, distributed one by one, and put it on the spot. Wu Yunqiao personally explained, washed hands and wore masks and other prevention and control points, and then named a few officials and asked them to go home and take their families into the county government.

The rest of the officials received a notice, divided the horses, galloped all the way out of the city, and went to the villages to issue notices, and some went to look for Langzhong, and soon there were only a few people left in the yamen, Wu Yunqiao and Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen took the Chen family to sew masks, and Qin Lizeng Da Niu followed Tingbo to a few courtyards behind the county government to clean them out and give them to live in for the families of those officials.

There was a rush of chaos, and at lunchtime, the officials who had delivered notices, invited Lang Zhong, and moved from all over the place turned back, and Lang Zhong and several of the officials' families also arrived. Without exception, there was another period of washing, and after it was clean, one person drank a bowl of preventive medicinal soup, and then scattered everywhere. The family members of the government officials took out their young daughters-in-law and daughters to learn how to sew masks and gowns with Chen, and the older women boiled hot water in large cauldrons for everyone to wash and drink. The men cleaned up the garbage and debris everywhere, cleaned up what should be cleaned up, and buried what should be buried......

After lunch, Chen and Tingbo took the family members of the officials to sew masks and clothes, boiled buckets of water, and then the men loaded them in cars and sent them to the agreed place. Qiu Chen took the seven Lang Zhong who had good physical fitness, escorted by Qin Li and Zeng Daniu, and followed Wu Yunqiao and the officials out of the county government gate.

The first place they were going to was the concentration point prepared by the county seat, which was the Guan Gong Temple outside the East City Gate. It is relatively empty here, there are more houses, which is convenient for placing a large number of patients, and even better is that there is a sweet water well in this temple, and there is a mixed forest behind the temple, which is convenient for obtaining firewood.

Not far out of the county office, Wu Yunqiao and Qiu Chen parted ways with the officials and Lang Zhong, Qiu Chen and the others went straight to the Guan Gong Temple, and the officials took Lang Zhong to search for the sick people in various streets and alleys, and transferred these people to the Guan Gong Temple outside the city, and told the family to dig a pit and bury the sick people's vomit and diarrhea, and boil all the clothes and articles used in hot water before use. Of course, the most important thing is not to drink raw water, do not eat cold food, and be sure to wash your hands before eating and drinking...... These prevention and control measures are publicized in the past.

Perhaps because the epidemic is so raging and frightening, the transfer of patients is going smoothly, and less than half of the families who are accompanied by people who leave their homes are ...... Obviously, the care of relatives at this time can no longer be compared with the raging and terrifying epidemic!
