Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 115 The Epidemic Worsens
The next day, Yang Dianfeng went out of the city to bring in the displaced people who were ready to be hired, and brought food and medicine to the other old, weak, sick and disabled.
Due to the need for isolation, Xu Xiang specially instructed him to gather a lot of manpower and take a lot of linen to isolate the entire canopy to avoid cross-infection.
Although Ge Qingsong said that it was not difficult to cure the disease, it was better to deal with it carefully, and only when he was sure that all the displaced people were okay did he dare to take them into the city with confidence.
Yang Dianfeng was busy, and Xu Xiang was boiling eggs in the house, and he wanted to get the tea eggs out.
Now the only one who can help him is Qing'er.
Since Qing'er's family moved in, their living conditions have changed a lot, and her father has gradually improved, and she can often see smiles on her face.
Qing'er's father's name is Liu Sancai, three big and five thick, but the illness tortured him to the point that he was not human, and he became a lot thinner. Since he was almost able to get out of bed when his illness was cured, he was very grateful to Xu Xiang and always wanted to do something for Xu Xiang. It's just that Xu Xiang still let him recuperate first, which made him very uneasy.
Yang Dianfeng went out to work this time, and Xu Xiang had no one around him who could be called, so he asked him to help himself and go on errands to buy some things to make tea eggs.
His mother's surname is Wang, and she is very short, and every time she sees Xu Xiang, she is very nervous, her head is lowered, and she stammers when she speaks. Later, Xu Xiang only arranged some cleaning work for her.
The younger brother was still young, only five or six years old, with a shaved head and only a small haircut on the top of his head, so Xu Xiang gave him the nickname Sanmao with a bad taste.
Ten days passed in a flash, and the five thousand taels of gold that Xu Xiang had plucked from Cui Mi had bottomed out again.
A piece of land of more than 100 acres was purchased in Xuanwu City and Baihu City respectively, which were near the main roads of the city, and most of them were originally the residences and shops of some residents. It's just that the medicine has completed the transformation of the commercial street, and these houses and shops must be demolished and rebuilt.
Whether it is severance pay or the purchase of wood, stone bricks and other materials, the silver is like flowing water, and it is gone.
Xu Xiang stood in the White Tiger City, a messy place that he demolished, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that there are fewer pits!" I'm really not a businessman! Who knew it would cost so much! ”
Since there is no money, isn't it going to be ruined......
The gnawing chicken now has new tea eggs, egg cakes and other things, and the daily net profit can reach 1,000 taels, which is not too much to describe as a daily income.
It's just that the money was quickly invested in these two commercial streets, and there was not even a splash.
Now you can build as much as you make, and the progress is very slow.
"Uncle Liu, what has Lao Yang been doing lately?" Xu Xiang asked Liu Sancai next to him, since Yang Dianfeng brought those homeless people in, he has been going out early and returning late, busy with those things. However, according to his arrangement, these displaced people should have been quarantined and trained.
Yang Dianfeng has never reported to himself, he has always gone to bed early and got up late, so naturally he has not seen Yang Dianfeng these days.
Liu Sancai got up early, and occasionally saw Yang Dianfeng, so he naturally understood the situation on his side, so he said: "Young master, I heard that Steward Yang said that the condition of the homeless people outside the city has deteriorated, so he has been bringing people to help Doctor Ge these days. ”
"Condition outside the city has deteriorated?" Xu Xiang immediately became concerned and hurriedly asked.
"Well, half of the people there are sick, and some of them have been cured, but after a few days, they are sick again. Even Dr. Ge was helpless! ”
"Damn!" Xu Xiang scolded in his heart, "I said don't let the patient be infected again, Lao Yang, this idiot!" What to do? ”
"Uncle Liu, you just keep an eye on it here, I'll go out of the city!"
Xu Xiang got into the carriage and asked the coachman to go directly to Pujiamen.
When he arrived at the tent of the displaced people outside Pujiamen, Xu Xiang saw that the tent isolated by linen cloth was already dirty, and Ge Qingsong set up a large cauldron, boiled the potion, and distributed bowls and bowls to the sick homeless people.
"Young Master, you're here!" When Ge Qingsong saw Xu Xiang, he hurriedly handed over the work in his hand to the person next to him and greeted him.
"Where's Lao Yang?" Xu Xiang asked.
"Steward Yang took someone to ask Jing." Ge Qingsong replied.
Xu Xiang noticed that the homeless people who had received the potion returned to the tent and sat on the ground, while some were sleeping lying down, and some children were playing and playing.
Although the linen cloth was brought, it did not play a role in isolation, and those who knew each other still sat and chatted together, completely unable to distinguish which ones were infected and which ones were not.
And some people who already have red spots on their bodies sleep in the same area as those whose red spots are beginning to fade, less than half a meter apart.
In this way, the epidemic can be controlled, and there are ghosts!
The anger in Xu Xiang's heart couldn't help but rise, and he scolded Ge Qingsong with his head and face: "That's how you treat people? Not only did it not have any effect, but more and more people became sick! ”
Ge Qingsong lowered his head, "Young Master, I ......"
"You don't have to explain it to me! Before I left last time, I explained very clearly that the reason why I took these linen cloths and divided the whole canopy into three areas, one is a serious area, one is a light area, and one is a disease-free area! Look at it now, what has become of it? Tell me, who are sick and which are healthy? Xu Xiang said angrily.
"Young Master, this ...... The old man wanted to separate them according to the young master's instructions. It's just that their family is reluctant to be separated, and they have to sleep together when they sleep at night. As for why more and more people are getting sick, the old man is really puzzled. In the past, all these medicines that the old man made can be cured! Ge Qingsong explained.
Xu Xiang smiled coldly, the patients treated by Ge Qingsong before were all one or several, and he treated hundreds of people at the same time, so that they drank medicine and ran around like this, it was no wonder that there were not many infected people!
This disease is not a virus, it is a disease caused by microorganisms, and it is a disease that can only be cured by killing microorganisms with drugs. Therefore, there is no such thing as antibodies, and there is no doubt that a cured person is reinfected by an uncured person.
At this time, Yang Dianfeng came back with those who went to collect Jingjing, and when he saw Xu Xiang, who was furious, he hurriedly walked over.
"Young Master, I'm ......"
"Lao Yang, do you have a brain? Ge Qingsong can't control them, and you can't control them either? ”
"Young master, it's human nature to be with your family, so ......," Yang Dianfeng explained.
"Didn't stop them from being with their families, you think you're kind? Also, if you look at the children who play hide and seek, where do the sackcloth on their faces come from? I told you that all the cloths that wipe the sweat of the sick must be burned, and you all take it as a deaf ear? Xu Xiang pointed to the children who played hide and seek, and after these children were not short of food and drink, their playful nature rose, and the whole tent was full of laughter.
Yang Dianfeng had never seen Xu Xiang send such a big fire, even if Qin Zhong died at the hands of the Nine Shadows Palace, he secretly endured it.
"Young master, what a pity these sackcloth burned! I've boiled it in boiling water, so I should ......," Ge Qingsong said weakly.
Xu Xiang interrupted him, "Should it?" I don't should! You're a doctor, you told me it should? I want you to save me money? Yes? ”
"Now! Calling everyone! Immediately! Right away! Xu Xiang commanded again.
Yang Dianfeng quickly came to Dapeng and called all the non-serious and healthy people who could wake up, and eight or nine hundred people, including children, gathered together.
Xu Xiang stood in front, glanced down, and said loudly, "Why are you standing so close?" Are you afraid that you won't get sick? All separate a little. ”
The displaced people below separated a little, and everyone kept a distance of about half a meter.
Xu Xiang slowly suppressed the anger in his heart, he could be angry with Ge Qingsong, or he could scold Yang Dianfeng loudly, but he couldn't scold these homeless people. People have a rebellious mentality, and if you scold hard, people will definitely have ideas in their hearts.
In their eyes, if they are scolded for staying with their own family, then this young master is too unkind.
Xu Xiang took a deep breath and said, "This is the second time you've seen me, right?" These days, I have asked Steward Yang to bring food to everyone, everyone is full, right? Is there anything that hasn't been fed? ”
"Nope! We're all well fed! What a bodhisattva-hearted person! ”
"Young master, the food you brought us is not only full, but also very delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life! ”
The homeless people below responded to him one after another, with a deep sense of gratitude in their words.
Xu Xiang sighed deeply and said, "However, my personal strength is limited after all, in just these ten days, your food, medicinal materials, and clothes have already spent thousands of taels. ”
Hearing Xu Xiang's words, the people below fell silent.
They had never thought about this problem, and listening to Xu Xiang's tone, it seemed that there was no extra money to provide them with food?
Everyone felt apprehensive in their hearts, and suddenly immersed themselves in a sea of sadness.
"Young Master...... Are you, don't you have any money to give us food? A sixty-year-old man asked, with his eyes watered.
Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "This is not!" It's just that you plan to live in this tent for the rest of your life? Among the more than 200 people who followed Steward Yang into the city, there were your fathers, sons, and husbands, don't you want to be reunited with them as soon as possible? ”
"Yes!"
"But you can't go! For you yourselves know that you are sick! Xu Xiang said mercilessly.
Everyone lowered their heads, knowing that what Xu Xiang said was the truth. These days they also know that the disease is contagious to others!
What should I do if I get sick and infect my loved ones after entering the city?
"Young Master! I'm not sick! Am I going to be able to go into town to be with my son? At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties said.
Xu Xiang shook his head and said, "Whether this is sick or not, it will take at least seven days to be able to see it!" Who knows if you're already sick and haven't shown it yet? So, it's all right to be sick and free of symptoms for seven days! ”
"Everyone came together, so naturally they want to go into the city together!"
"Now, answer me again, would you like to go into the city sooner to reunite with your relatives?"
The homeless people below all said in unison: "Yes! ”
"That's good! I'm going to re-establish the quarantine next! Separate the non-diseased, mild, and severe ones! Dr. Ge will isolate you separately according to your physical condition! Xu Xiang said, "This process will not be very long, just more than ten days!" You may be separated from your loved ones, but only for a short time! When you're all well, you'll be back with your loved ones again. ”
"Of course! I'll talk about the ugly things first! If someone crosses the area, they insist on staying with their loved ones. Well, I'm sorry, I'll take you out of this tent and won't provide you with any food! Moreover, the relatives in the city will also be driven out of the city! When the time comes, whether you are alive or dead, I, Xu Changsha, will never care anymore! ”
Xu Xiang's loud voice came into everyone's ears, and everyone nodded solemnly. Xu Xiang is a savior for them, and the savior gives them food and treats their diseases, but if such a simple request can't be done, then they deserve to be driven out!
Xu Xiang turned around and said to Ge Qingsong: "Doctor Ge, it's hard for you to isolate people again!" ”
"It's the young master! I will definitely complete what the young master has explained! We will never let the epidemic get worse again! Ge Qingsong said solemnly.
"Remember! The burlap that wiped the sweat of the patient, don't keep it anymore! Burn them all! Xu Xiang added.
