Chapter 191: Strange Disease

Chengdu

Tuao Village

This is a small village in eastern Sichuan, about eight miles and ten miles away from Chengdu, the same as Songling Village, the people are not particularly prosperous, but there are some good scenery around the mountains and rivers, the village is a strange traffic chicken and dog smell each other, in this turbulent season, it is a quiet and harmonious place.

The old patriarch Ji is a generous and kind person, the old man has two sons under his knees, the eldest has just turned eleven, and the younger one is only eight years old.

Usually in the village and other children of all sizes run around, fish and butterflies, seeing their group of innocent and lovely children, no matter how big your anger is, it will be invisible.

But something strange happened today,

Ji Daji, the two boys and the third child of the Zhang family ran to the mountains and forests to go wild for a day before coming back, this was nothing, the boy just couldn't be idle, and the mud on his face was "cleaned up" by Mrs. Wu, and after a meal, he made a big bathtub and washed a white clean child for the two brothers.

The two brothers who were still fighting and eating during the bath were all wilted when they went to bed at night, and Wu shouted that they should not be, just squinting and lying on the bed.

Wu thought that they might be tired from playing, so they didn't care, but when they got up at night and came back to look, they realized that something was wrong.

The two children are like charcoal, piping hot!

This frightened the Wu family, and quickly called the old patriarch Ji, who was asleep, up,

The old patriarch Ji, who knew a little bit about medical science, was quite calm, and when he touched his forehead, he knew that it was a fever, and Bacheng was cold from taking a bath later in the evening, and after complaining that his wife Wu was careless, he put on a coat and went out to find the barefoot doctor Ling Langzhong.

Rao is patriarch has such a big face, and in the middle of the night, he pulled Ling Langzhong out of the bed, and came to the old patriarch's house with his small medical box in the four directions to take a look, but also said that it was because of typhoid fever, and prescribed a few patches of medicine to Wu on the spot, saying that if he boiled it on time according to the amount, Ming'er would be fine,

After listening to this, the old couple was also a little relieved, and took the medicine and thanked Ling Langzhong again and again, and he didn't ask for the silver given by the old patriarch, saying that the two children also liked it and did it as a personal favor.

It seems to be a simple matter, but it makes Lang Zhong muttered in his heart, the general fever is red and red, and the tongue is red and yellow, he doesn't understand why these two boys have a little black tongue, is it because he is wrong? However, the other symptoms are all wind cold and heat, which is undoubtedly confirmed, and taking it according to his medicine to dispel wind and cold, it must not be a big problem.

While thinking like this, he wandered home and got into the bed.

Who knew something would happen the next morning!

When I got up early in the morning, Wu heard the two boys arguing for water, and said in my heart that I must have drunk the medicine last night and my thirst was gone, who knew that when she walked into Ji Da and Ji Er's house with a tea bowl, she was so frightened that she "snapped" and even smashed the tea bowl on the ground!

I saw two people still lying on the bed in a daze, with purple patches printed on their faces, which looked like ........... Dead man's face with corpse spots!

The panicked old couple invited Ling Langzhong again, but this time Ling Langzhong was also helpless, where did he, a barefoot doctor, see this battle? Let the two of them hurry up and take the children to the city to see,

Where does Old Patriarch Ji dare to delay? I found a donkey cart from the village and went to Chengdu.

Half of the people in Sichuan know that there is a miracle doctor in Chengdu called Dr. Zheng, of course, it is the Dr. Zheng who Jin Mingyin often looked for before and saved Gao Yingshu in Jinzhu Village.

Today is also a coincidence of the old couple, and Dr. Zheng happened to be sitting in his own rejuvenation hall.

However, this season, the old patriarch hugged the two unconscious children to the kang of the Huichun Hall, and the divine doctor Dr. Zheng also had a little numb claws, and he had treated so many incurable diseases in his life, how could he have seen corpse spots on the faces of living people?

I thought about trying it with a silver needle to see if the purple patch was an accumulation of internal poison.

Before silver needle acupuncture, the doctor will habitually use his fingers to gently rub and press the acupuncture points, one is to determine the accuracy of the needle, and the other is to feel whether the acupuncture points are moving.

As a result, it didn't matter if I touched the faces of the two boys, I saw that the skin on the face was like the lacquer on the lacquered wood red pillar in disrepair, and it was crumpled and peeled off with a light rub, revealing the blood-red flesh under the skin!

This frightened Dr. Zheng, why did he rub off the skin and flesh with this gentle rubbing? And seeing that these two children have their eyes closed, as if they don't feel pain,

He hurriedly lifted Ji Da's clothes again, and tentatively pressed the flesh on his body with his fingers.

The flesh of the two and a half children was supposed to be firm and elastic, but now it was indeed pressed into a pit by Dr. Zheng, as if it was rotten meat on a dead person, and it could not be restored to its original state if it was dented.

If it weren't for the fact that these two children were still panting, Dr. Zheng would really wonder if these were two big living people or two corpses.

Just when everyone in this room was at a loss, Ji Da, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and his two eyeballs widened, as if he was staring at something on the ceiling.

"This .......... Doctor Zheng, look, he's opened his eyes! ”

Doctor Zheng was also startled, and hurriedly leaned over and used his hand to prop up Ji Da's already large eye sockets, and the white eyeballs were densely covered with bloodshots, making the entire eyeball show a weird dark red.

"Wait here, you two, I'll go back when I go."

As he spoke, Dr. Zheng turned around and ran to the back room, as if he was going to get something.

As soon as he left, Wu stepped forward distressedly, shaking his son's body with wide eyes but no reaction, "Son, it's my mother, can you see me?" Son. ”

"Uh...... Belch...... Uh......."

The big season on the kang seemed to be reacting.,Slowly opened his mouth.,Make a strange babbling sound.,I don't know what to say.,

"What did you say, Ji'er?"

Wu was also anxious when he saw his son's speechless appearance, and hurriedly put his ears together to hear what he said.

Who knew that just after the side face was pasted, Ji Da spit out a big pile of black blood from his mouth with a "vomit", and sprayed the head and face of the Wu family in front of his face!

"Ahhh

Wu Shi felt that the side of her face from her mouth to the root behind her ears seemed to be burned by fire, with a hot and burning pain that penetrated the bone marrow, and she shouted heartbreakingly.

All this happened too fast, and the Ji patriarch beside him didn't have time to react at all, and saw that his wife's side face sprayed with black blood seemed to be melted, and even the flesh and skin gradually turned into pools of thick water and flowed to the ground, and within two breaths, the white bones on the side of Wu's face were already clearly visible!

"Ahh Someone! Come on! ”

In this Huichun Hall, whether it was the cabinet room guy or the sprinkler sweeper, when he saw the Wu family suddenly become this terrifying appearance that was neither human nor ghost, he didn't panic and ran out, even the old patriarch Ji was so frightened by his wife that he sat on the ground, and his body was shaking like chaff and couldn't even use the strength to escape...........

At this time, Pei Zhenfeng, who was ordered to stay in Chengdu, took the patrol cavalry to pass through the gate of this Huichun Hall, and saw that the guys in this Huichun Hall ran out like a lost soul, and thought that he had entered the thief, and rushed in with the officers and soldiers behind him with knives.

Three or five armored Green Battalion sergeants followed Pei Zhenfeng into the Rejuvenation Hall to take a look, and they were disgusted and almost didn't vomit out their bitter gall.

The two people lying on the kang were all with big eyes, and black blood was constantly spurting out of their mouths, and their faces and necks were all burned with black blood, revealing their white bones, and the Wu family on the ground next to them was only half of their faces lying on the body of the old patriarch Ji, and the black blood that gushed out made the old patriarch's stomach eroded, and the white intestines flowed all over the ground.

"Lock down the Rejuvenation Hall! No one is allowed to enter! Fast! ”

Pei Zhenfeng covered his nose to block the smell of corruption in the room, held his crotch knife and began to command the sergeant behind him to drive everyone in this hall out.........

It wasn't until later that Pei Zhenfeng found the local magistrate and transported all the four unrecognizable corpses to the workshop to wait for further investigation of the cause of death before processing, and the matter was over.

In fact, this matter is not a big deal in Chengdu, the patriarch of a remote mountain village and a family of four died, whether it was poisoning or some strange disease, at most it was just some people who saw what happened near the Huichun Hall in the morning and talked about it after dinner, after all, this is a problem of the local government,

Including Pei Zhenfeng, he didn't feel anything unusual, at most, he died a miserable death, so he didn't eat much dinner.

It's just that Jiang Ruyue smelled an unusual smell from it, so he planned to go to the local county government office to see what was going on after he finished dealing with the matter at hand.

however

Before he could put this idea into practice, disaster was already quietly struck...........

First of all, those people who watched on the periphery of the Rejuvenation Hall, without exception, all had the same fever as the two sons of the dead old patriarch Ji that night, but everyone also regarded it as typhoid fever like the barefoot doctor.

But when they felt strange the next morning and wanted to go to the Rejuvenation Hall to grab some medicine, they realized that even Dr. Zheng, who was known as the miracle doctor, was sick!

Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhenfeng, who rode to the barracks on horseback in the morning, also fell off his horse, and a few sergeants around him who were about to help him up, but if they accidentally got into his mouth and spurted black blood, none of them could escape the fate of festering flesh and skin.

Soon, the whole of Chengdu was shrouded in the fog of strange diseases, and every household did not have a headache and brain fever, and in just one night, these seemingly ordinary typhoid fever would take the lives of the patients without exception the next day, and quickly spread to other people in the family.

Because the disease was so fast, there were more people going to the coffin shop than to the pharmacy for a while, but when they arrived at the coffin shop, they found that even the coffin maker had fallen in a cloud of black blood.

Wu Wenzhong, who was acting as the political envoy at the time, immediately took emergency measures, and all the corpses of the sick in the city were not allowed to be disposed of at will, not parked at home, and burned in a centralized manner. Households distribute black, white, and yellow flags, and each family must check the white flag in accordance with the regulations, and the yellow flag is planted by the patient who is not sick for the time being, and the black flag is planted by the family who has been extinct.

Then, a nursing home was set up in the south of the city, and all sick patients in the family were forcibly isolated and admitted to the hospital.

Of course, under the premise of no longer dealing with the decoction, the people who were isolated and admitted to the hospital were basically waiting for death, going in the day before, pulling them out and burning them the next day.

Except for handing out some useless gypsum soup from door to door every day, there is nothing to be done anymore.

Jiang Ruyue asked Jiang Tianhao to take over Pei Zhenfeng's military power as the commander, except for leaving a few soldiers and horses for him to blockade the city and maintain order, all of them were thirty miles away from the city to avoid the epidemic.

However, this strange disease was not stopped because of the blockade of Chengdu, and soon the whole of Sichuan was shrouded in the shadow of the disease.

Even the palace of the king of Shu is already sick, Rao is Gao Yingshu's physical fitness is better since he was a child, and the other maids who can still be seen today will lie down in the nursing home tomorrow.

Gao Yingshu was also helpless, and he hurriedly sent the news of Chengdu to his father for eight hundred miles.........

In December of the 40th year of Chongzheng, the Sichuan epidemic, every family had the pain of zombies, and there was crying in the room. or die with the door closed, or mourn with the family destroyed, and the sound of sorrow and mourning is like being in purgatory on earth........
