Chapter 53: The Plague of the Plague

Qingjia's expression changed drastically, Zhao Baosheng's family was already anxious at the moment, and the female dependents were even more crying, pulling her sleeves vigorously, and sobbing: "Jiajia, come and see, what's wrong with my brother, he came back the day before yesterday and began to feel unwell, I originally thought it was an occasional wind chill, and the rest had been fused, where did I know that it was already like this after only one day......

Zhao Baosheng's wife didn't need her sister-in-law to come calmly, and she couldn't cry like a tearful person at the moment, Qingjia knew what the word plague meant, and she didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so she could only quickly take Zhao Baojuan's hand and said in a low voice: "Baojuan, sister-in-law come out with me, I can't stay in this room!" ”

Zhao Baojuan saw that her face was not good, she was very solemn and solemn, and she was also frightened at the moment, so she hurriedly followed out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Jiajia, what's wrong...... Zhao Baojuan's heart kept sinking, and she couldn't speak clearly: "Could it be ...... Could it be that my brother really has some incurable disease or ......? ”

Qingjia threw away the medicine bag in her hand, and her heart was also flustered, and she really didn't know how to say this when she looked pitiful to the two sisters-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, when did Brother Baosheng go out, and where did he go before he went home?"

Zhao Baosheng's wife saw that she asked seriously and didn't dare to answer sloppily, so she recalled it carefully, and muttered: "About half a month ago, he went out, and arrived at home around the evening of the day before yesterday, and saw that his face was not very good, and he just drank some water and fell asleep, I thought he was tired, just rest," she choked up a little, and said: "How do you know that the next morning when you look at it, it is already a fever, my mother said that it was a cold and used earthwork to mix medicine for him to eat, and as a result, he began to sweat non-stop, When I rubbed his body, I found that the red spots all over his body were getting worse and worse......"

Qingjia frowned: "Does that sister-in-law know where Brother Baosheng has been?" ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family wiped her tears and shook her head gently: "The left and right are just Yixian, Mangzhuang, Taobao, Wangcun and other places, where else can you go, now there are wars everywhere, and there is no place to live." ”

Qingjia ignored the complaints of the Zhao family's sister-in-law, and her hands and feet were already a little cold after hearing these words.

Some time ago, there was an influx of refugees in Yixian County, and some of those people were carrying the epidemic brought from the disaster areas in the south!

Liu Zhongmou told her about this matter in the letter, although there are not many cases now, but the infection is not known to know how many, the local government is afraid that the matter will cause panic and riots, so all the hospitals are asked to keep silent.

Those who died of the plague were immediately dragged to a no-man's place and burned and then buried in a deep pit, and now there are people who are sick almost every day in Liu Zhongmou's medical hall to seek medical treatment, but this kind of epidemic has never been before and it is ferocious, if it is infected, it will die in three days at the shortest, and it is more contagious, and if there is close contact, it is easy to be infected.

Therefore, the local government told the medical center that once a person with the epidemic was found, it would immediately report to the official, and all those who had contact with that person would be arrested, and eventually they would die.

As for the rest of the people, the infirmary came forward to distribute the decoction to prevent the epidemic, and the city was far more chaotic at the moment than her barren mountain and wild village, full of officers and soldiers and forbidden troops in case anything happened.

Liu Zhong's doctor was benevolent when he saw the government acting like this, although he knew that he had to do it as a last resort, but after all, he was suspected of disregarding people's lives, and he himself became an executioner-like existence under pressure, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

I didn't dare to worry my parents, wife and children at home, so I could only write to tell Qingjia, first, to express my helplessness, second, to let Qingjia be careful of such a symptom, and third, to tell her that the world is chaotic now that she should stay at home, and don't run around at will.

Qing Jia read the letter at the time and didn't care, I don't know how often there is such a thing, and there are only a few times in the history of the Yan Dynasty for thousands of years, and they were all quickly controlled and did not cause famine on a large scale.

But now it is different from the past, now that there are wars everywhere, where does the imperial court still have the heart to care about this, it is nothing more than the implementation of the policy of 'killing mistakes and not letting go' as Liu Zhongmou said.

"Jiajia, tell me, how can my brother be cured?" Zhao Baojuan is an anxious person, and now she has no restraint at all, and her emotions are close to collapse. Her parents have been gone since she was a child, and she was raised by her brother and sister-in-law, and the depth of her feelings is very deep beyond anyone can imagine.

Qingjia looked at her red and swollen eyes, sighed, and said, "I took a look at Brother Baosheng's illness, I'm afraid it's ......"

Her embarrassed appearance of wanting to speak and stopping made both of them feel heartbroken, and Baojuan mourned: "Jiajia, say it quickly, what is it!?" ”

Qingjia closed his eyes, his heart was crossed, and he said, "I'm afraid I have the disease of the epidemic!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two were stunned on the spot, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family was almost about to faint, and grabbed Qingjia's hand tightly, and her strength was so great that she almost crushed her wrist alive, and her voice was so terrible that people couldn't bear to hear: "Jiajia, what you said is true!?" ”

Baojuan was also stunned, and shook her head in disbelief: "How is it possible, impossible, are you diagnosing wrong, ah?" She also came to pull Qingjia, and kept saying: "Something must have gone wrong, you can see again, how could someone as good as my brother be infected with such a fatal disease, this is absolutely impossible!" ”

Qing Jia saw that Baojuan looked crazy, and couldn't bear it, so she persuaded: "Baojuan, calm down, how dare I talk about this kind of thing." ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family was also on the verge of collapse at the moment, but she still had some sense, and said: "Jiajia, it's not that we don't believe you, but the epidemic is not a child's play at this time, we have lived here for decades and have not heard of anyone suffering from this disease, which is really unconvincing." ”

"Yes, there should always be a reason for the epidemic at this time, sister-in-law, let's take my brother to the county to have a look, it's not a serious illness." Baojuan is full of reluctance to accept this reality at the moment.

Qingjia understood what she meant, and knew in her heart that if she didn't make this matter clear, they wouldn't believe it, but if it was delayed, once the disease spread, the consequences would be unimaginable. It's just that others don't know, how could she not know the severity of this plague, so she didn't hide it at the moment, and said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, you don't know anything, in fact, the epidemic has already spread in Yixian County and the surrounding villages at this time, but the government is still afraid that people's hearts will be unstable and cause panic, so they announced that they died of hunger." ”

She recalled Liu Zhongmou's words in the letter, which was really word-for-word: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it in a few days, the government has an order, so those who have been in contact with the epidemic patients will be dealt with privately, if this news spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Only then did Baojuan and the two stop, and after a long time of being stunned, Baojuan said, "Jiajia, what you said is true?" ”

Qingjia nodded: "I have a friend who opened a medical center in Yixian County, what he said is true, there is no adulteration, and human life is at stake, how dare I talk nonsense?" ”

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family died on the spot, slipped off the chair, sat on the ground, heartbroken, and cried: "Oh my God, what kind of sin has been created!" ”

Baojuan also lost her mind and cursed loudly: "God, why don't you open your eyes!" ”

Qingjia was the only one who was still sensible, and immediately stopped them: "Sister-in-law, Baojuan, you listen to me," she looked at them and said, "It's not the time to be sad, Brother Baosheng is afraid ......"

She couldn't bear to continue, and Baojuan's aunt and sister-in-law were also silent.

The man fell, and the woman had to stand up and take charge, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family looked at Qingjia with a sad look in her eyes, but her tone was firm: "Jiajia, what do you say to do now?" ”

Zhao Baosheng definitely can't be saved, but they and the children in the family have to live, although cruel but really helpless.

Although Qingjia was also sad about them, she knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted, and said: "You have been in contact with Brother Baosheng for so long, just in case, I will go back and prescribe a few pairs of medicine for you to drink, once you deal with Brother Baosheng's ......" She paused: "This house must not be lived, Uncle Wang built a hut on the mountain a few years ago, and there are few people who go to the mountains except hunting on weekdays, where do you stay for a few days, wait until ...... Just wait until it's over. ”

Although the sister-in-law of the Zhao family was sad when she heard this, she also knew that there was really no choice but to respond, Qingjia appeased them again, and asked Baojuan to go back with her to get the medicine.

Baojuan couldn't stop crying all the way, she was very sad, Qingjia was very stupid, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only do more for them silently. In the past, Zhao Baosheng was the only seller in the village, and the necessities of life such as needlework, oil and salt had to be brought back from the county by him, otherwise it would be really difficult for anyone to lack something.

Qingjia has to take care of her mother-in-law on weekdays and rarely goes out, it is all up to him to avoid running back and forth, thinking that such a good person is about to leave, and her heart is also extremely depressed.

She wrapped the medicine and handed it to Baojuan, and heard Baojuan ask timidly: "Jiajia, will you not get that disease if you take this medicine?" ”

Qingjia looked at her longing eyes, and finally shook her head helplessly: "This medicine can only be used for prevention, if it has been infected, I don't know if it is useful or not." ”

The brilliance in Baojuan's eyes dimmed a lot, and she said, "Oh." ”

Alas-

Qingjia was also very helpless in his heart.

……

On the second day, Zhao Baosheng passed away, and the sister-in-law of the Zhao family announced to the public that she was suddenly ill, died and then buried hastily, and the funeral was extremely simple.

After that, the two of them moved to a small hut on the hill and said that they were hiding, and the villagers did not think much about it, and the matter passed like this.

Qingjia as the only insider is very worried in his heart, as long as he is free, he will go to see them and send something by the way, the wooden house on the mountain is very simple, a small one, two people live in it is really small, daily life utensils are all, the pots and pans at home are also unusable, and the clothes are all thrown away.

So they are still wearing Qingjia's clothes, but fortunately, the difference in body shape is not particularly large, and they can still be used if they are slightly changed.

I thought that as long as everything was okay after a while, the days would be able to return to the calm and peaceful of the past, but I knew that ten days after Zhao Baosheng was buried, Granny Liu in the village had symptoms similar to Zhao Baosheng, Qingjia was horrified, and immediately knew that it was not good and hurried up the mountain, at this time the sister-in-law of the Zhao family had already had symptoms of fever and cold sweat.

At this time, every time the epidemic disease appeared, the world panicked, and countless famous doctors were at a loss, and there was no way to say that Qingjia's medical skills were still shallow.

So, everything can't be hidden.

The plague would follow like maggots on tarsal bones, spreading at an incredible speed in this small village, until everyone was wiped out.

Qingjia's heart was cold, this, what can I do about this!?

All of this is tantamount to a catastrophe, and this shadow is like a big net that traps everyone inside, and she is no exception.

Is it really only resignation?

She asked, but no one answered.
