Chapter 41: Clues to the Plague

When they came to Sanwa's house, all the townspeople went home, but there was still a ten-year-old girl who was very smart but thin and almost skinny.

To be honest, Sanwa's house is very dilapidated, the house is leaning against the perimeter of the town, the mud courtyard wall is very dilapidated, the grass house is also dilapidated, and there are bursts of musty smell from time to time.

"Two doctors, can my baby still be saved? If I can't save it, then, I won't live that old woman! Sanwa's mother began to kneel in front of Qin Fang and cry again.

Qin Fang took out the silver needle and temporarily opened all the acupuncture points of Sanwa, and finally temporarily restrained the continued invasion of the evil qi, but how long it could be suppressed, Qin Fang did not know the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Sanwa's festering body surface pus and blood had temporarily stopped, Qin Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Xuedi hurriedly helped the old lady up and comforted: "Don't worry, auntie, we will help you find a way, by the way, there is no medical station in the town?" ”

"Medical station? What is it? The old lady touched a handful of tears and looked at Hu Xuedi suspiciously.

Hu Xuedi hurriedly explained: "Is it that those experts didn't give you medicine after they came?" What if someone gets sick? ”

At the mention of this, the old lady was even more sad, she stomped her feet with tears in her tears, and said, "Alas, how can anyone here give any medicine, if anyone has a plague and those in white coats know about it, they will send soldiers to take them away, put them in the small temple on the west side of the town, and when they die, they will pull them over and burn them." ”

The old lady took a breath and said: "My baby is infected with the plague and caught in the small temple, I have been begging them to save people, but no one cares at all, the soldiers will bombard people when they see us in the past, if I don't meet the two today, my baby's life will be gone!" ”

The expert team is stationed in Pingnan Town, there is no medical station, there is no treatment for patients, and there are no prevention and treatment measures for healthy people, if there is a result, it would be strange!

At this time, the little girl who had been hiding behind the old lady looked at Qin Fang and the others in horror, and said to the old lady: "Grandma, grandma, I'm hungry!" ”

The old lady touched the little girl's head and said pitifully, "What a sin! This child's name is Qingling, and her parents have died of the plague, and she is a poor person. ”

"Okay, grandma looks to see if there is anything to eat at home." The old lady got up with difficulty and walked to the inner room, which was almost a bare-walled house.

Qin Fang listened to the old lady's words, and it can be said that anger came from his heart, these second-generation officials are here to gild, but at least you should do something.

It's just a matter of doing nothing, but the arrogant behavior of Xue Kaixuan that Qin Fang saw with his own eyes today is simply worse for these poor people.

"Come, little sister, sister has something to eat here!" Hu Xuedi smiled softly and beckoned to the little girl named Qingling.

Qing Ling still felt a trace of fear of strangers, perhaps frightened by Xue Kaixuan's gang of waste.

Hu Xuedi took out a piece of fragrant rice crackers and took a bite of it in her mouth, and said to Qingling: "Come on, Qingling, this is delicious!" ”

At this time, Qing Ling slowly stretched out his hand and took the rice crackers and devoured them.

Hu Xuedi was dumbfounded, "Qin, Qin Fang, how many days have she not eaten?" ”

At this moment, the old lady came up with a blackened rice bran cake, "Alas! There is nothing to eat at home, so that's all left. ”

Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi looked at the black rice bran cake and looked at each other.

Immediately after Hu Xuedi, she suddenly went crazy and poured out the two big backpacks, and a lot of food, such as ham sausages and beef jerky, which Qingling had never heard of, piled them all over the ground.

Hu Xuedi desperately stuffed things into Qingling's hands, and choked up: "Qingling is obedient, these are all yours, you eat slowly!" ”

At the same time, he pulled the old lady over to eat together, and the old and the young were like no one and gobbled up.

Seeing that Qin Fang was sour.

"Auntie, slow down, I still have a lot of this!" Hu Xuedi smiled with tears.

The old lady smiled quite embarrassedly, "Doctor, don't you know, since there was this plague in Pingnan Town, this place has been completely sealed, and no entry or exit is allowed, and it is estimated that there is not much left of the food stored in the personal family, you see that I have been hungry and full for more than a month." ”

In other words, not only did these experts not come here to help the townspeople fight the plague, but they did not distribute even the most basic food, so how did they fight the plague?

At their rate, I'm afraid that by the time the plague is overcome, there will be very few people in the town.

Qin Fang checked Sanwa's condition, it seemed to be quite stable, he racked his brains to think of a solution, but in the end he still had no clue.

Now it seems that the only way to try is to find the source of the plague.

The old lady and Qingling ate a lot of things before they stopped, and Xiao Qingling also looked at Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi with a smile.

"By the way, auntie, when did this plague start?" Qin Fang asked.

The old lady recalled that three months ago, Wang Ming, the son of the mayor of the town, returned from hunting in the mountains, and a few days after returning from hunting, he suddenly fell unconscious, followed by ulcers all over his body, and then stiffened his limbs like a zombie and walked around.

The old lady took a big sip of water and continued: "At first, everyone thought that Wang Ming had run into an evil spirit in the mountains and invited a mage, but it was still useless. ”

"How did you die?" Qin Fang asked.

The old lady thought for a while, "It's the same as the mayor's son, he has the plague, alas, poor Mayor Wang is just such a son, and now his mother-in-law is also dead, and he is alone in the family." ”

The old lady had a bitter look on her face.

"So that means the first person in your town to get the plague was the mayor's son?" Qin Fang asked.

The old lady nodded, "Isn't it?" It's Wang Ming! ”

Now that the plague finally has some clues, Qin Fang plans to go to the town mayor Wang Manchu's house to have a look.

"By the way, doctor, can my baby still be saved?" The old lady looked at the three babies with silver needles on her body, and there was a look of worry on the old face.

Qin Fang lowered his head and thought about it, took out all the internal injury pills in his backpack and gave them to the old lady and said: "Auntie, this pill can prevent the plague, you and Qing Ling will each eat one first, and then take the rest to everyone to share, remember that one person can only share one, if it is not enough, come back and tell me, I will find a way." ”

The old lady looked at the backpack full of internal injuries, and suddenly shouted happily: "Oh, you, you are really a doctor of the living bodhisattva, you are not at all different from those white-eyed wolves living in the town, the old lady kowtowed to you!" ”

Qin Fang hurriedly supported the old lady and said with a smile: "Auntie, you remember, don't touch the needle on the third baby's body." ”

The old lady nodded vigorously.

At this time, Hu Xuedi had already chatted with Qingling.

"Little sister, the name Qingling is so good, who got it for you?"

"It's Daddy!" Qingling tilted her head and looked at Hu Xuedi, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so beautiful!" ”

The old lady looked at Qing Ling lovingly and said, "His father is a teacher in the town, and he is very knowledgeable!" But how many poor people this plague has taken away! ”

Hu Xuedi comforted the old lady a few words, and said to Qin Fang: "Qin Fang, now that the clues of the plague are also available, should we go to the mayor's house to have a look?" ”

Qin Fang nodded, "We'll go over later, and maybe we can find the source of the plague by asking." ”

"But we are ordered to assist the team of experts, will it be biased for you and me to act alone?" Hu Xuedi's worries are not unreasonable.

If they go it alone, and when the time comes, the expert group will definitely put all the blame on them, and if they have any credit, it will definitely be monopolized by those experts, there is no doubt about it.

Qin Fang said indignantly: "Hmph! What other specialists do you count on? You didn't see the attitude of Xue Kaixuan and Lu Shangwen just now, even if we go to the town government, it is estimated that they will not even let us in! ”

Hu Xuedi nodded, the plan for now is for them to find the cause of the outbreak of the plague as soon as possible.

Qin Fang lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Hu Xuedi: "In this way, if you find a way to contact Mayor Miao and let her carry out activities in the province, maybe it will start to work." ”

"But where is the phone here, and the phone is out of battery!"

Pingnan Town is a bit outrageously poor, and there is no electricity until now, and the signals here are actually temporary signal equipment brought by the expert group.

Electricity is also brought to the high power generators provided.

Qin Fang shook his head helplessly, "Then forget it, let's go to the mayor's house first!" ”

After asking the address of the mayor's house, Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi rushed to the mayor's house non-stop.

The mayor's house is in the center of the town, not far from the town hall, separated by a few alleys, and the houses are slightly better, mostly made of stones.

Qin Fang knocked on the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a tired and vicissitudes on his face opened the door, he looked at Qin Fang and Hu Xuedi suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Hu Xuedi smiled: "May I ask if you are the mayor of Wang Manchu?" We are from the Yunjiang City Health Bureau, and we are here to ask you about the plague. ”

Unbeknownst to him, Wang Manchu immediately showed a look of disgust, and was about to close the door with his hand, "Let's go!" Aren't all those from the city in the town government? Ask for yourself! ”

Qin Fang hurriedly reached the door and said, "Mayor Wang, you misunderstood, we were sent by Mayor Miao, and we are not with them!" ”

"Mayor Miao? Is it Miao Qinghe, the former county magistrate of Wuhuang County? Wang Manchu wondered.

Miao Qinghe was a Qing official when he was in Wuhuang, and the people spread as early as in Southwest Province, and it was impossible for Wang Manchu, who was the mayor of Pingnan Town, not to know.

Qin Fang nodded, "Mayor Wang, Mayor Miao sent us to investigate privately because he was anxious about the plague here, don't worry, we are definitely not people from the expert team." ”

Wang Manchu nodded, looked out of the door, and then quickly pulled Qin Fang and the others into the courtyard.
