Chapter 219: The Plague
The night was gloomy, although the first snow of winter had not fallen for a long time, but the cold air in the night was already very heavy, Qi Ning passed through a bow arch, entered the courtyard, wrapped himself in a big coat, and saw the lights reflected in the window paper, sure enough, as Gu Qinghan said, Tang Nuo had not rested. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He hesitated, but still stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon heard a "quack" sound, the door opened, and the beautiful Tang Nuo had already appeared in front of the door, seeing Qi Ning, Tang Nuo was stunned at first, but obviously not too surprised, and said softly: "Come in." ”
It was getting late, and Donno didn't seem to care about a man entering his room.
Qi Ning entered the house, and wanted to turn around and close the door, but hesitated, just half-closed the door, and followed Tang Nuo into the house.
Donno has a slender figure, she usually doesn't like to talk, and her personality is quite low-key, but it doesn't give people a sense of coldness, but makes people feel natural and easy-going.
Tang Nuo didn't care about bringing Qi Ning into the room, and when he entered the room, Qi Ning found that on the table in the middle, there were several jars and jars, and the medicine box was also placed on the table, if you want to open it at this time, Qi Ning knew that unless he was curing the disease and saving people, Tang Nuo did not open his medicine box easily, but in the middle of the night, he opened the medicine box in the room, but he didn't know why.
"Miss Tang, I came to you because I ......!" Qi Ning was about to tell Don Nuo about the infectious disease he had seen, but Tang Nuo didn't wait for him to finish, he had already said, "You want to tell me about the disease that is spreading?" ”
Qi Ning was stunned, thinking to herself, could it be that this girl already knows?
"That's not a disease, it's a poison!" Tang Nuo sat down on the chair, then raised his hand and pointed to the chair next to him, motioning for Qi Ning to sit down: "Under normal circumstances, after ordinary people are infected, they will die in seven days. ”
Qi Ning was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "Yes..... Is it poisoning? ”
Tang Nuo nodded and said, "Two days ago, there were patients in Yong'an Hall who went to see a doctor, from morning to night, no less than ten people, all of whom saw the same disease. Under the lights, Tang Nuo's delicate face looked very serious: "This is just one of Yong'an Hall, and there are at least thirty or forty people in the pharmacy on that street. ”
Qi Ning frowned and said, "Miss Tang, there are so many people on just one street, then the entire capital adds up .......!" ”
Donno nodded slightly: "At least it proves that the poison has spread, and the number of poisoned people is very large." ”
"Miss Tang, you said that this is poisoned, do you know what poison it is?" Qi Ning hurriedly asked, "Do you know how it spreads?" ”
Don Nuo frowned and said: "I can't be sure yet, but it shouldn't be transmitted through the air, there is physical contact, in addition to food and water, this should be the way of infection." ”
Qi Ning's expression was solemn and he asked, "Then you can't tell what kind of poison it is?" ”
"I'm more familiar with the medicine that cures the sick and saves people, but the poison that harms people is not what I care about the most." Tang Nuo said: "I can only check what the poisoned medicine of those poisoned people is made of now, and then find a way to crack it, but it is not an easy thing." I got some patients' blood and I've been testing it for the past two days, but it's ......! ”
"But what?" Qi Ning hurriedly asked, "Miss Tang, is there anything I can help?" ”
Tang Nuo said: "Originally, I wanted to look for you tomorrow morning, but since you are here, I do have something I need your help with." ”
"You say."
"I've never seen any poison I've seen before, and although I've tested several prepared venoms in my blood, it's not enough." Don Nuo frowned and said, "I can only see the blood flowing out of the patient's body now, but I can't see the signs of this poison merging with the body, so it is difficult to grasp its changes." ”
Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Corpses!" Donno hesitated for a moment before he said, "I need a corpse, it must be a corpse that has been poisoned by this poison." ”
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment.
"If I'm not wrong in my judgment, tomorrow ...... At the latest, the day after tomorrow, there will be a lot of people who have a toxic attack. Don Nuo said: "This poison can make people drowsy, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, and it is easy to attack people, once scratched by them, it is easy to be infected." ”
Qi Ning was horrified, and only felt that there was a feeling that a zombie was out of the cage.
"I don't know if anyone else is trying to find a way to detoxify." Tang Nuo said: "But if I don't come up with a way as soon as possible, I'm only afraid that many people will die this time." After a pause, he said: "I once saw a village, with nearly 100 families and hundreds of people, just because one of them was suffering from a disease, he was infected everywhere, and he couldn't be rescued, and all the people of the entire Zhuangzi were .......!" He didn't go on.
Tang Nuo is good at medical skills, and she has naturally seen a lot of rotting corpses and rotten bones, and life and death will not be as sensitive as ordinary people in her eyes, but when it comes to this, Qingli's face is still a little gloomy.
The parents of doctors may not be as sensitive to life and death as ordinary people, but it does not mean that they do not value life and death, on the contrary, they have seen more people who have died of illness, and they have more respect and compassion for life.
Qi Ning was already in awe of Tang Nuo in his heart.
Before he discovered the epidemic, Donno had already found clues, and had even begun to test for poison and prepare to find a way to save people.
Although Tang Nuo didn't say it explicitly, Qi Ning also understood that Tang Nuo didn't tell him when he found out the clue, just because he couldn't be completely sure about this matter, and about the poison, it was useless to tell Qi Ning before he figured it out.
Donno is clearly a man who doesn't do useless things.
"You mean that if this epidemic can't be solved, the capital of Chu State may be .......!" Qi Ning was also shocked in his heart.
Donno shook his head and said, "Not really. As soon as the epidemic broke out, the imperial court would naturally send people to control it, and with the power of the imperial court, it would take some time to find a way to detoxify, although it would take some time, but it could still be found after all. After a pause, he said slowly: "But at that time, I am afraid that thousands of people in the capital have died. ”
Qi Ning felt a chill down his spine, and frowned: "Since it is poisoning, naturally someone deliberately poisoned it, and this epidemic virus can be infected, so the purpose of the person who poisoned it is to let the epidemic virus spread in the capital." I couldn't help but clench my fists: "What kind of person is this who is so ruthless and has lost his conscience?" ”
"Finding the real culprit behind the scenes is not a matter of now." Tang Nuo said: "When you first arrived, if you didn't want chaos in the capital tomorrow, you had to do something now." ”
"You mean...... Immediately mobilize troops to block the streets and ban the whole city? Qi Ning immediately understood.
If everything is true as Donno said, then the first phase of the outbreak will most likely come tomorrow.
The situation at the time of the outbreak of the epidemic, Qi Ning saw with his own eyes, the poisoned people were crazy like wild beasts, if there were a large number of infected people in the capital, then there would inevitably be more crazy scenes like that tomorrow.
Since Tang Nuo judged that the attack would be two days after tomorrow, it was obvious that he had roughly learned the time of the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic virus through the investigation of the number of patients who sought medical treatment.
The imperial court had obviously not yet discovered that a catastrophe was about to usher in the capital, and it was impossible to imagine that after this quiet night, there would be a crazy scene, so naturally it would not have prepared in advance.
"It is necessary to send troops and horses to block the streets and alleys so that those who have been poisoned from roaming around." "In addition, it is necessary to prepare a resettlement site, and if there are really infected people running to the streets, it is best to control them first, and then isolate them from other people to avoid the spread of the virus," Tang Nuo said. ”
Qi Ning bowed slightly, secretly admiring in his heart, Tang Nuo did not panic in this situation, but was extremely calm and took precautions.
"Miss Tang, I'll send someone to find the corpse." Qi Ning knew that not only must he be prepared to deal with the possible out-of-control situation next, but the most important thing is to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible.
Tang Nuo thought for a moment before he said, "If you can really find the corpse and let people send it to Yong'an Hall, it is better not to send it to the mansion, so as not to frighten them." After a pause, he added: "In my judgment, the epidemic virus has only begun to spread in the last few days, and most of it is only in the period of deterioration, and many people will not die from the poison for the time being, so it is not easy to find the corpses that died of poison." ”
"Oh?"
"But if you find the beggars, you might be able to get the corpse." Tang Nuo's expression was very serious from beginning to end, serious but calm: "If I'm not mistaken, the first to be infected by the epidemic virus should be the beggar gang disciples. ”
Qi Ning knew that time was urgent, and he couldn't delay, so he said, "Miss Tang, I'll arrange it now." He turned around to leave, but only took one step, stopped, turned around, frowned, and asked, "Miss Tang, are you...... Do you hurt yourself if you come into contact with a patient? ”
Tang Nuo was stunned, smiled faintly, and said, "No, I have my own way." ”
"That's good, you have to be careful." Qi Ning said: "I will send people under my hands to be on call at any time." ”
He went straight to the main hall, Gu Qinghan had already summoned the people in the mansion to check his arms according to his instructions, and many people in the Hou Mansion had already fallen asleep, and they were called up in the middle of the night, and they didn't know what was going on.
Qi Ning didn't have time to care about that, so he called Zhao Wushu and Qi Feng, and said straight to the point: "There is an epidemic virus spreading in the capital, I need someone to go to the beggars now, some of them have been poisoned and died, can you transport a corpse from them?" ”
Zhao Wushu and Qi Feng glanced at each other, obviously not understanding for a while, Qi Feng asked cautiously, "Master Hou, you mean...... To go to the beggars to find the corpses, because some of them were poisoned and died? ”
"Someone in the beggar gang is poisoned, and that poison can be contagious." Qi Ning simply explained it clearly: "The flow of disciples of the Beggar Gang is large, many people have been infected, and they are about to have an attack, Miss Tang is looking for a way to detoxify here, but there must be a corpse that died due to poison, this kind of corpse should be found in the Beggar Gang at present." ”
The two finally understood this time, and they both changed color.
