Chapter 167: Blockade

When Xia Shuanghan and Shen Fanyi and his party arrived at Guanzhuang Village, the time had just passed the hour. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the entrance of the sun-drenched village, the horses and carriages stopped under the big trees at the entrance of the village, and then the three doctors who stepped off the carriages and divided into three roads knocked on the doors of the three families with sick families.

The three doctors who went to diagnose the patient all had the same statement, namely: "My old lady went to a certain temple a few days ago to make a vow, and originally wanted to reshape the golden body of the Buddha, but was rejected by the abbot, so now she deliberately follows the guidance of the Buddha and comes to the villages within 20 miles north of the capital to give free medicine to the people." ”

The villagers who heard the doctor's words did not have any suspicions about the next generation. Therefore, without any delay, the patients who were bedridden quickly accepted the doctor's diagnosis and treatment without hesitation.

"How's it going, is it diagnosed? Is it typhoid? In order to prevent the next conversation between himself and the three doctors from being heard by the villagers and causing them to panic about the disease, Xia Shuang Han, who had been waiting under the big tree at the entrance of the open and uninhabited village, soon met with the doctors who had seen the patients.

"Indeed, as you said, girl, it is typhoid fever." Turning his head slightly to look at the villagers who were fetching water with a roller by the well not far away, Shen Fanyi, who had a solemn face, said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the closure of the village and isolation cannot be delayed. ”

"Yes, then let's do what we said yesterday / and do the same!" Xia Shuanghan, who had received the confirmed result from Shen Fanyi, nodded at the few people behind her, including Li Qinglan, who were assigned to her by Su Yixing, and then everyone dispersed and went to their own businesses.

The three doctors who entered the village from three different directions to check the pulse were followed by a pen and ink boy behind each of them. The task of the servant is to keep a record of the number of sick people in each household, the condition of the sick people, and whether there are wells, livestock sheds and other facilities in the yard of each household that may contain a source of treatment.

Together with Li Qinglan, who had already passed the news of the diagnosis to Su Yixing with the flying pigeon, Xia Shuanghan, who walked around the entire village, hastily drew a map of the entire village, and marked the places that needed to be taken for key responses, such as public wells, septic tanks and manure haystacks by the fields, on the map.

The busy group, who didn't even bother to eat lunch, rushed to their own fronts, and it was not until a quarter before they met again by the carriage under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

"Doctors, you've done a great job." Sitting in the carriage, Xia Shuanghan, who had already transcribed the map of the village, briefly put down his pen and hugged his fists at the three doctors who had washed their hands and received their own dry food and drinking water from Li Qinglan, and then picked up the pen again, and summarized and sorted out the records that the errand boys brought back from the pen and ink boys one after another.

What is the number of sick people, the number of severe patients and mild patients, and what are the names and quantities of the various medicinal materials and other materials that are needed next...... The names and data of this series of items that can help the next isolation and treatment to be carried out as soon as possible were all statistically arranged by Xia Shuanghan one by one and filled in the drawn form.

Subsequently, Li Qinglan, who took the form that Xia Shuanghan had transcribed, released a carrier pigeon again and passed the news on.

"Phew, it's finally over." Xia Shuanghan, who jumped out of the carriage and washed her hands with spirits, took the steamed buns handed to her by Shen Fanyi, and looked up at the houses in the village and said: "Fortunately, it is winter and the New Year is approaching, and the villagers don't have to go to the field and are busy preparing for the New Year. ”

"Yes, fortunately, it is cold and inconvenient to walk now, and the time is approaching the end of the year, and no outsiders come to visit the door, otherwise those passers-by who come and go are really the most difficult source of typhoid spread."

The three doctors, who asked all the necessary questions in the process of consulting the villagers, have confirmed that since the weather became cold in the winter of this year, no outsiders have visited Guanzhuang Village, except for passers-by who have come to the entrance of Guanzhuang Village to ask for directions and leave after asking.

In addition, the villagers who were supposed to go to Beijing to buy New Year's goods after entering the lunar month did not leave the village because every household began to have a relationship with patients who needed to be taken care of and could not spare their hands.

Therefore, from the perspective of these two points, there is no possibility of typhoid fever being infected or transmitted from other places in Guanzhuang Village, which has "no entry and no exit" after the weather has become colder. In other words, as long as the village is closed as soon as possible, then typhoid fever will be controlled in this small village, and it is impossible to spread it to the capital like in the previous life.

"Great, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Eating the dry food with all her heart, Xia Shuanghan, who thought about it in her heart, thought that she had achieved the purpose of today's trip and had done everything she could, so the only thing she had to do was wait.

Wait for Su Yixing to report the outbreak of the epidemic in Guanzhuang Village into the palace; Wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the Holy Lord to take countermeasures when they hear the news; Waiting for the appointed and dispatched officials to order the temporary lockdown of the village, and arrange for manpower to work with Shen Fanyi to treat the infected villagers in the next few days......

It's just that Xia Shuanghan, who only needed to wait at the entrance of the village for half a day and wait for Su Yixing to go back to Xiangyang Wangfu with him after arriving in Guanzhuang Village, did not succeed in the end, because Lu Shaoyun appeared.

After dusk and nightfall, Xia Shuanghan, who had been busy all day, was napping in the warm carriage burned with silver charcoal, and a creaking footsteps slowly approaching the entrance of the village came from the quiet night, but suddenly Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying appeared.

The sound of shallow footsteps was not enough to wake Xia Shuanghan from his sleep, so it wasn't until Lu Shaoyun turned his wheel to lift the bucket full of water from the well that Xia Shuanghan, who heard the sound, finally woke up leisurely.

After the day-to-door consultation, the three doctors, who had had lunch and rested for a while, began to provide initial treatment to the sick villagers together with the little workers who had been assigned to them.

And Li Qinglan, who commanded the rest of the staff, also took over the map transcribed by Xia Shuanghan, and marked the "blockade line" drawn by the three doctors after discussion. Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who only waited for the people appointed by the saint to seal the village according to the mark made by Li Qinglan, and then could go back to Beijing with Su Yixing, fell asleep in a carriage parked in a sheltered place next to a house at the entrance of the village.

After the sound of "gurgling" wheels and the sound of "banging" washing hands and splashing water woke up Xia Shuanghan, she opened her eyes and lifted the curtain of the car, and in an instant, she came to such a conclusion from Wen Xueying's vague, but obviously not Han dress - the people who were drinking water were not villagers from Guanzhuang Village, they were outsiders!

The three words "can't drink" that came to her lips were swallowed by her knowing that it was too late the moment Xia Shuanghan saw the person who had drunk enough water stand up and wipe the corners of his mouth.

Jumping out of the carriage in a hurry, Xia Shuanghan, who ran towards the comer, quickly approached the other party, and gradually saw his face clearly through the dim farm lights, his eyes widened in disbelief - my God, why, why is the person who drank this water Lu Tingxuan?!

Lu Shaoyun, who recalled the past in his previous life, was only limited to things related to him and Xia Shuanghan, and he didn't know that there had been an outbreak of typhoid fever in Guanzhuang Village in his previous life, so he, like the vast majority of the people of Daxia, was accustomed to drinking raw water, but he really didn't expect that he would actually drink such a life-threatening thing in this mouthful.

"Frost, do you think I'm going to die?" Next to the quiet carriage, Lu Shaoyun, who had already forced out all the well water that he had just drunk according to what Xia Shuanghan said, stared at his sweetheart with an anxious look on his face: "But I don't want to leave you, so what if I don't want to die?" ”

"You fool, who said you were going to die? Dr. Shen is now in this village, and he said that although typhoid fever is terrible, he knows how to treat it. So, as long as you obediently do what he says next, you will never be fine. ”

Xia Shuanghan, who carried the liquor he brought, beckoned Lu Shaoyun and Wen Xueying to wash his hands, and handed them warm boiled water and dry food: "Eat first now, only when you fill your stomach can you have the strength to deal with the next thing." ”

When "......" took the food and water from Xia Shuanghan's hands, Wen Xueying was still immersed in a somewhat dazed state and did not come back to her senses.

Countless thoughts swirled in her mind, one would be "If Lu Shaoyun fell into the pit with me, then he would not be able to see Xia Shuanghan now", and the other would be "If it weren't for my own selfishness to cause Lu Shaoyun to stay on the mountain after dark, then none of us in the post station would have drunk this well water", and the other would be "Fortunately, the person who drank the well water was not me, typhoid fever?" It's a damn thing......

Between the disturbed thoughts and thousands of thoughts, Wen Xueying, who was standing silently by the carriage, together with Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun, who was whispering, waited for Li Qinglan, who had returned from the mark, and a group of people who came with Su Yixing who were appointed by the Holy Lord to seal the village and treat the villagers.

"Frost, I'm here to pick you up, go, come home with me!" After turning over and dismounting at the entrance of the village, he quickly noticed Su Yixing, who was parked in his own carriage at the leeward place, and walked towards the carriage with great strides while beckoning Xia Shuanghan to go home with him.

It's just that before he reached out to touch Xia Shuanghan, who was standing under the car, Lu Shaoyun's figure entered his field of vision first. "Lu Shaoyun? How did you end up here?! ”

"It doesn't matter why he's here, it's ...... important" Xia Shuanghan, who turned around after hearing Su Yixing's words, looked firmly at her nominal husband, who was sure to have a strong objection to what she was about to say, "The important thing is that he just drank the well water from Guanzhuang Village without knowing it, so he must be quarantined here for at least a month in the future, and I, I decided to stay with him." ”

"No, you can't!" This is the strong concern and rejection expressed by Lu Shaoyun, who resolutely does not want to involve his sweetheart in a dangerous situation again.

"Don't you think about it!" This is the strong indignation and concern expressed by Su Yixing, who is not willing to let Xia Shuanghan risk his life for Lu Shaoyun again.

"Frost, is it worth it? Is it really worth it for him to stay in this village, where typhoid fever has already broken out, and face the threat of illness and death every day? ”

Glancing lightly at Lu Shaoyun, who had just spoken out against Xia Shuanghan at the same time as himself, Su Yixing really wanted to hold his sweetheart's shoulders and shake her awake - Shuanghan, don't you no longer love Lu Shaoyun? Then why are you willing to stay for him?

"I just don't want to regret it in the future." Raising his head slightly, he saw from Su Yixing's dark eyes that he had not said the second half of the doubtful Xia Shuanghan, and said calmly and persistently: "If he has something long and short, and I can't be by his side, I believe this will become a nightmare that I will never be able to get rid of in the second half of my life." ”

"Lu Shaoyun! If you're really in love with Frost, then I'm sure you know what you're supposed to do, right? Seeing that he couldn't make sense with the stubborn Xia Shuanghan at all, Su Yixing, who was angry and helpless at the same time, had no choice but to turn to Lu Shaoyun to ask him for support and assistance.

"Frost ...... Cold" Lu Shaoyun, who choked in his throat and had reddish eyes, actually didn't want to be separated from Xia Shuanghan emotionally, after all, at this moment, facing his sweetheart who still chose to live and die with him even though he didn't remember him, he was strongly moved and shocked in his heart, and he just wanted to embrace Xia Shuanghan into his arms and hug him tightly.

But from a rational point of view, Lu Shaoyun, who knew what was the right thing to do, couldn't let Xia Shuanghan take risks staying for himself. It's just that when he felt that he was speechless for a while because of the surging emotional fluctuations in his heart, his unspoken persuasion was all blocked by the preemptive Xia Shuanghan.

"Lu Tingxuan, let me ask you, do you believe or not that Dr. Shen said that he had a way to cure typhoid fever?"

"Of course I do!" Lu Shaoyun, who had not hesitated or doubted for a moment, nodded like garlic and said, "Doctor Shen said that he can be cured, then he will definitely be cured." ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, since this disease can be cured by Dr. Shen, that is to say, even if you and I are infected with typhoid fever, it is impossible for us to die, so what is the problem with me staying with you?"

Xia Shuanghan, who blocked Lu Shaoyun speechless with a question, turned to Su Yixing beside him as he spoke: "Su Zhenchen, look, now that you can ensure that I will not be in any danger if I stay, then you won't have any objections, right?" (To be continued.) )
