Chapter 175: The Plague
Later, it was the doctor of Jiude who stood up and solved the dilemma of the white inscription.
Bai Mingwen knew that Yang Qing was a buddy in Wei's shop, so Bai Lian had a close relationship with Jiude, Bai Mingwen didn't say anything, but he didn't know that Jiude also had a share of Bailian.
Now that the doctor in the Jiude is willing to stand up and help, Bai Mingwen is simply grateful to Yang Qing and has nothing to repay.
Yang Qing was modest and didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but feel a little distracted when he thought of Bai Lian telling him a year ago that he would let Jiude use medicinal materials in Pengcheng.
Bai Lian had already instructed everyone, including Yang Qing, to do their best to quell this plague, whether it was medicinal materials or manpower.
Bai Lian was worried about Wei's family, and proposed to Bai Mingwen to send Wei's back to Yongzhou, and Bai Mingwen had no time to take care of her, so she agreed, after all, the plague was as fierce as a tiger, and Bai Mingwen was still very afraid.
Wei originally thought about the child in his belly and agreed, but in the end, Bai Lian did not leave, and Wei stayed.
Later, Bai Lian thought about it, and she didn't know what the situation outside was at the moment, if she was sick on the road, it would be bad, so she didn't say anything about sending Wei back, but she was more precautionary.
Everyone goes in and out with a white cloth boiled in wine vinegar to cover their faces, and they are sprinkled with lime inside and outside the house, and wormwood is smoked every day, and wine is boiled and vinegar is boiled.
Bai Lian originally thought that after knowing about the plague in advance, coupled with the precautions against Peng Cheng, and the first time she knew the news of the plague, she made a countermeasure to deal with it, even if she couldn't stop the plague for a while, she could control the spread of the plague.
It's just that Bai Lian never expected that this plague would be so rapid. Soon it spread to the surrounding areas dominated by Jiangcheng and Pengcheng, and soon, people in Pengcheng, which was guarded like an iron pass, were also infected with the plague.
At the beginning, a doctor diagnosed cold fever, and the symptoms of the patient were sudden chills at the onset of the disease, first chills at the ends of the limbs, and chills on the back and whole body. Goosebumps on the skin, cyanosis of the lips and nails, and pale face. Muscle and joint aches all over the body. And then the whole body trembled. The teeth chattered, and some people couldn't stop it by covering several quilts, which lasted for about half an hour.
When the cold disappears, the complexion turns red. Cyanosis disappears. The body temperature rises rapidly. Usually the more pronounced the chills, the higher the body temperature, which then goes from head to toe. sweating profusely, some convulsive or unconscious; Some have severe headaches and vomiting. Generally, at this point, this person is hopeless, and he is weak to return to heaven.
In his previous life, Lu Ye was afraid that Bai Lian would be worried, so he didn't tell her what it was like when the plague broke out, and Bai Lian only knew that there was a plague, but Bai Lian didn't know anything about what symptoms it was and what kind of medicine suppressed it.
At this moment, the doctors knew about the disease, and they had already begun to look through the medical books, trying to find a cure for the plague from the medical books.
However, this kind of cold and fever disease attacks too quickly, from the onset of the disease to death, only three days, and the people who are infected with this disease have no symptoms at all, and can lurk in the body for ten days and a half months, and some even for one month, once the onset of the disease, after three days, even the Daluo Immortal is difficult to save.
Before people could find a way to deal with it, many people had already died.
At this time, it has entered June, the weather is hot, mosquitoes are even more rampant, people are unguarded, Pengcheng got the white inscription to take the first step, every day to burn wormwood, Jiude pharmacy has people outside every day to distribute wormwood.
As a result, Pengcheng is the least affected of the surrounding towns.
The case of Pengcheng became the object of imitation in the surrounding area, and for a time the wormwood to prevent the plague became a sky-high price, just as if the wormwood was burned, it would not be infected with the plague.
After Yang Qing knew about this, he thought of Bai Lian's original intention of doing this, and without waiting for Bai Lian to talk about it, he set up temporary points in the surrounding towns and sold them at a low price.
Naturally, the Jiude was praised, and those who wanted to make a windfall through the plague were harmed, and before the plague was suppressed, those people began to join forces to rectify the Jiude.
Walking outside, it was rumored that this plague was operated by the Jiude, and in order to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, Yang Qing finally made a decision to treat all the medicines for the plague for free, so that they couldn't speak. And the people who originally sold high-priced medicines didn't dare to sell them, for fear that others would say that they were behind the spread of the plague.
However, no matter how well Pengcheng took precautions, people who died of the plague appeared one after another, and the fear of death enveloped everyone.
Just when everyone was looking for a countermeasure, another terrifying news came that the plague had spread on both sides of the Liuli River.
When Bai Lian heard the news, she only felt that the whole person was stunned. The current situation is even more terrifying than I expected. Lu Ye said that the disaster was 800 miles of rivers and mountains centered on Pengcheng, but now it is on both sides of the Liuli River, how much more than 800 miles!
Almost the entire southern border of the Zhou Dynasty fell into this plague!
For a moment, the White Lotus wavered!
Thinking that if Lu Ye was here, maybe he would have found a way to suppress this plague.
However, half a month later, Bai Lian received the news that the area south of Pengcheng was forbidden for anyone to enter or leave.
There were some wealthy families who were afraid of losing their lives in Pengcheng and wanted to move their families north, but blood was splashed on the spot.
Such a move stimulated the people of Pengcheng and other places, and some of them wanted to flee like crazy, and the scene was very chaotic.
Bai Lian has never gone out in Baifu, and he receives the news sent in by Yang Qing every day, and Bai Inscription has not come back for half a month, if it weren't for the handwritten letter he wrote every day to keep him safe, Bai Lian would still be really worried about him.
Bai Lian didn't know medical skills, and the only thing she could help was to rummage through medical books, look for them, and find no useful methods.
The medicinal materials stored in Jiude have not been able to keep up with such a huge need, and some of them have been infected with the plague, and those who have not yet developed the disease, because they cannot find the right medicinal materials, they all rely on other drugs to suppress them, however, in the case of insufficient supply of Jiude medicinal materials, the medicinal materials in the market are expensive.
Just when Yang Qing was at a loss, Pengcheng ushered in a business partner.
That is, Ji Yunsheng, the medicine king who signed the agreement a year ago, however, this time it was not Ji Yunsheng, but Ji Yunsheng's only daughter Ji Mei.
Yang Qing had seen her once, but she didn't expect her to be so bold, everyone avoided Peng Cheng like a tiger, but she came uninvited.
"The world says that the family members of Jiude are generous, brave and brave, and disaster relief is in fire and water, our Ji family is the first medicinal herb merchant in the Zhou Dynasty, so naturally we can't be compared to your Jiude."
This is what Ji Mei said when she saw Yang Qing, her slightly raised chin, and those clear eyes were the most heartwarming scene Yang Qing saw after the white lotus.
