Chapter 257: The Plague
Zhao Guanlan got the news shortly after the county order fainted, and when he heard that the county order fainted and fell unconscious, Zhao Guanlan was also stunned, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly went to Wang Si's house to find someone.
However, at the same time, in addition to the county order, there were other people in the county who fainted from illness, and on the way to Wang Si's house, Zhao Guanlan met a lot of panicked people, all of whom were people who took unconscious people to find a doctor.
In the county seat, in addition to Tongxintang, there are also Xianhe Pharmacy and Hezhuang Pharmacy, all of which have doctors in these pharmacy, but at this time, almost all of these pharmacy are overcrowded, and the huts and backyards of the pharmacy are full of unconscious people.
The unconscious people are also surrounded by their relatives, at this time, one by one, looking sad, some people are still hiding their faces and crying, and the whole county is filled with a breath of death.
On the way to Wang Si's house, Zhao Guanlan frowned directly when he saw this scene, and finally sped up his pace and went to Wang Si's side.
When Zhao Guanlan arrived at the courtyard of Wang's house, he learned from Wang Siniang that Lu Xiaoyao asked Wang Siyao to send her back to the town, and when he heard that Lu Xiaoyao had returned to the town, Zhao Guanlan's heart sank.
"Wang Wu, follow me back to town."
Zhao Guanlan immediately ordered, hearing Zhao Guanlan's command, Wang Wu nodded, and was just about to prepare the carriage, in the courtyard, Wang Wu's daughter-in-law covered her heart in pain, screamed tremblingly, and then slowly fell to the ground.
"Daughter-in-law." Wang Wuwu was shocked, rushed over in a panic, and helped his daughter-in-law up from the ground.
Wang's fifth daughter-in-law had a pale face, her eyes were closed, and she had passed out.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Guanlan lowered his eyes and his gaze sank, "Wang Wu, take care of the family and let your mother and them move to live in the compound." ”
Zhao Guanlan threw down a sentence, turned around directly and walked out, and after a while, the sound of a carriage sounded at the door.
When Zhao Guanlan arrived in the town, it was already dark, and he didn't know where Lu Xiaoyao had gone, so he had to look for it in the town without a head, but fortunately, Wang Si parked the carriage outside Tongxin Hall, and Zhao Guanlan saw Wang Si sitting in the carriage at a glance.
Zhao Guanlan arrived at the door, threw the carriage directly to Wang Si, and then entered the Tongxin Hall.
Dr. Wu and Lu Xiaoyao were both looking for medical books, and the medicine boy did not leave, and was napping in the shop at this time.
He was not very familiar with Zhao Guanlan, and when he saw someone coming in, he said without raising his head, "The master is busy, and he will come back tomorrow to see a doctor." ”
Zhao Guanlan had already come to Gui Liang, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Lu Xiaoyao, take me in to find her." ”
Hearing that he was looking for Lu Xiaoyao, Gui Liang's drowsiness woke up for a moment, raised his head, looked at Zhao Guanlan for a moment, and then spoke.
"You're the father-in-law of the little girl, right?"
Zhao Guanlan nodded, Gui Liang didn't ask anything more, and walked directly to the backyard with him.
In the backyard study, Lu Xiaoyao sat on a chair and looked at the materials intently, while Dr. Wu on the side rummaged through the bookshelves, still muttering to himself.
"I remember it seems to be on this side, how can it not be?"
Lu Xiaoyao didn't listen to Dr. Wu, Dr. Wu's memory was too poor, so it was better to look for it by himself, but soon Dr. Wu's exclamation came from the study.
"Ah, I found it, I found it, it's this one."
Doctor Wu happily came to Lu Xiaoyao with a medical book, and looked at it solemnly, hearing his words, Lu Xiaoyao also put down the medical book in his hand and leaned his head over.
Doctor Wu turned to a page, pointed excitedly, and turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoyao, "It's this, it's this, it's exactly the same as what you said." ”
Doctor Wu said excitedly, but Lu Xiaoyao's heart was extremely cold, because where Dr. Wu pointed out, the word plague was marked, and it caught Lu Xiaoyao's eyes so suddenly.
She had guessed, but she had never been sure, not unsure, but afraid of sure, because the plague was not an ordinary disease.
"Bang dang..."
Just when Lu Xiaoyao was full of thoughts, the closed door of the study was slammed open from the outside, and Lu Xiaoyao and Dr. Wu raised their heads in shock and looked over.
"Daughter-in-law."
Zhao Guanlan came in from outside the door and strode directly in front of Lu Xiaoyao, Yan Ni's anxious look made Lu Xiaoyao's heart sink suddenly, and a bad premonition surged in her heart.
"Daughter-in-law, something happened!" Before Lu Xiaoyao could speak, Zhao Guanlan continued, and when the words fell, Lu Xiaoyao's heart sank even more.
Sure enough, her instincts weren't wrong.
When she was sluggish, Zhao Guanlan had already continued to speak, telling the situation in the county seat, and when the county magistrate was sick and the county was in chaos, Lu Xiaoyao's heartbeat was faster.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao kept a blank face, I don't know what I was thinking? Zhao Guanlan was a little puzzled, stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Xiaoyao's shoulder, lowered his head and looked directly at Lu Xiaoyao.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's expression, Zhao Guanlan's heart swelled with a bad premonition, and he always felt like something big was about to happen.
The outbreak of the plague is not a big deal!
"Quick, Xianggong, let's hurry back to the county seat."
Zhao Guanlan's actions made Lu Xiaoyao come back to his senses, and he quickly suppressed the fear and surprise in his heart, and spoke up to him.
Now the county is in a mess, doctors are being looked for everywhere, and there are sick people everywhere, the purpose of Zhao Guanlan's coming here is also to let Lu Xiaoyao go back, they are all living people, no matter what, they can't retreat at this time.
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words, Zhao Guanlan nodded, and was about to turn around with her, and it was at this time that Dr. Wu followed with a medical book and said to Lu Xiaoyao and Zhao Guanlan.
"I'll go with you to see, if there is really an outbreak of the plague, we may not be able to solve it, I asked someone to send a letter to Dr. Chang, urging him to come back, and then we will find a way together."
Hearing Dr. Wu's words, Lu Xiaoyao nodded, and then didn't say anything more, and followed Zhao Guanlan out.
The county town is really upside down, full of sick and wailing people, and the doctor can't think of any way, only to watch that there are more and more people sent by you, day and night, the backyards of several pharmacies are almost full of people.
After Lu Xiaoyao and Dr. Wu returned to the county seat, they went to check the situation, and they were running around for a whole day and night, and Tongxintang also opened the door.
The first thing Doctor Chang did when he returned to the county seat was to send the medicine boy to find Lu Xiaoyao, and Doctor Chang also came to the conclusion that Xiao Bainiang and Zhao Ming were infected with the plague.
After knowing the conclusion, Dr. Chang hurried back from his hometown, but it was still a step too late, and most of the county had already begun to break out of the plague.
After Tongxin Hall opened, most of the patients were sent here again, and the county government also sent people to look for Dr. Chang.
After Lu Xiaoyao learned that Dr. Chang had returned, he and Dr. Wu came to Tongxin Hall together, but they were in vain.
