Chapter 214: Infection

Chongzheng's decree in this chapter called almost all the most brilliant doctors in Wang Jingtai Hospital, and set up a small hospital in a tall mansion on the east side of the palace, and concentrated on the matter of dealing with the epidemic with all his might, and instructed Jingyuan Bo Anyi to be responsible for it, and report the specific progress to him in real time.

When Meng Qi followed An Yi to this little hospital, it was already dawn, and An Yi, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, had both eye sockets red.

"Ask Uncle."

"Envoy Zhao, you are in a hurry to find me, but there is new progress?"

As soon as An Yi walked into this courtyard, he saw that the envoy of the old Zhao hospital was already waiting in the courtyard with a few doctors from the hospital.

This Zhao Laoyuan envoy is a famous old man in Beijing, and many nobles, officials, and even royal relatives want to invite him to take a look, so they have to greet him in advance.

You say that he is just an official of the five grades of the court, why should you let the old men in the deep mansion compound or even the palace send someone to make an appointment with the name post?

It's because although he is a young man, he doesn't know how many incurable diseases he has cured under that pair of sturdy and powerful old hands, and he doesn't know how many people have been snatched back from the hall of Lord Yama, do you think that your grandiose relatives want to summon him immediately? Let's wait, the queen mother has to find the envoy of the old court Zhao first.

The old hospital envoy is really still a meticulous and even a little bit of an old man who admits death, he has been a hospital envoy in the twenty-sixth year of Chongzheng, and he has not made a mistake for fifteen years, but although every apprentice he has brought is respectful to him, but behind his back, he is all said to be strict.

"Uncle, please come with me."

As he spoke, the old Zhao envoy pointed towards a small room in the west of the courtyard, walked in front and took An Yi and Meng Qi away.

The small room on the west side of the courtyard was not large, and in front of the door stood two soldiers with guns, in addition to the armor on their bodies, and on their faces a special white veil to prevent the epidemic from entering their mouths.

The room was locked, as if someone was inside.

An Yi looked through the window of the hut and looked inside, it was dark and there was no movement, so he asked suspiciously: "Envoy Zhao, who is locked up here?" ”

Envoy Zhao did not answer immediately, but took three pieces of veil covering from the hands of his own students behind him and handed them to An Yi.

"Uncle, this gauze has been treated with herbal cream, covering the mouth and nose to block the epidemic in the dust, please bring it with Uncle and General Meng, and the old man will take the two of them in to see what is going on."

An Yi took the veil, handed one of them to Meng Qi, and then wrapped the other one around his face,

Suddenly, a pungent smell of herbs only ran through his nasal cavity like he had legs, and there was still a trace of cold feeling in the Tianling cover, and the tears that were washed by this smell were about to flow out.

"Envoy, this smell is too ...... Ahem! ”

The envoy of the Zhao Yuan slowly bowed his hand towards comfort, "Uncle, don't worry, although the smell of this mask is not good, but the medicine is bitter, it is much more comfortable than the epidemic and bleeding." ”

An Yi said in his heart that this old man is really an upright character, and he doesn't know what to say about it.

"The old courtyard makes you really comforting, okay, this one is also on, now it's time to tell us what's inside, right?"

Zhao Yuan envoy nodded, then stepped forward in two steps, took out the lock hanging on the door in his arms, and opened the lock on the door, attracting An Yi and Meng Qi in.

"Uncle, look, this is a hidden patient of the epidemic."

This room is really low and cramped, and An Yi's figure is not tall, but it is about to break through the thatched roof, and the room is surrounded by dirty walls, only a narrow bed, on which a young man curled up in the corner unkempt, looking at them timidly, as if he was frightened,

"Envoy Zhao, this is a ...... Patient? ”

The envoy of the Zhao Courtyard behind him responded: "Uncle, this person was found by us in the Hutchison Teahouse, and he is the second son of the shopkeeper of the Teahouse. Every time General Jiang's men and horses took our imperial doctor to conduct a routine inspection from their house, their family of four was healthy and unharmed, which made their door one of the few yellow flags on West Street.

It was also caused by our negligence, and when we went to check again two days later, we found that their whole family had all died of a violent illness overnight, all of which were typical symptoms of the epidemic with black blood spitting from the mouth, but he was fine. Later, thanks to General Meng's help in many inquiries, we learned that this later life was worried that he had been infected with the disease, so he took advantage of the lack of preparation at home, secretly slipped out of the dog hole under the city, and went to the quarantine area to find his own hair small, but after he came back, he brought the epidemic to the whole family, which caused a tragedy. ”

An Yi listened with doubts, "What?" Shouldn't he have contracted the disease and died first? Why is he alone now? ”

Although the young man showed the kind of timidity that a child might have in a few years old, he still looked a little energetic, and the action he had just made quickly hiding from the corner with his legs held was not like what a person with an epidemic could do.

The envoy of the Zhao Yuan arched his hand and explained: "Uncle doesn't know anything, and we only found out recently. This kind of disease is very special, after being infected, it will not be like ordinary people, first the body heat does not go away, the face is red, and then it will not be long before the seven orifices are black blood, and the whole body ulcers and dies. However, there are no obvious symptoms of the disease, except that the white of the eyes are bloodshot, afraid of wind and light, and even afraid of people, but it is also very easy to infect others like other patients. ”

An Yi's brows furrowed, and he asked again: "Then won't he die of illness himself?" ”

The envoy of the Zhao Academy shook his head and replied, "I haven't known about this yet, but four days have passed now, and it's okay for the time being." Let the uncle and General Meng come today, just hope to let the officers and soldiers bring such patients to this hospital for isolation during daily examinations, according to the old man's estimate, the number is not much, but the sinister is afraid that the uncle should also be clear, no less than ordinary patients. ”

This is really a tricky matter, just now it seems that the search for hidden patients has made the relationship with the people quite sharp, thanks to Meng Qi's "big paste" to maintain it, if these ambiguous patients are mixed in, it is not good that there will really be a civil uprising.

An Yi knew the severity, and when he thought of this, he turned his head and instructed Meng Qi: "You go to the camp and call Lin Muzhi, later today, you take Liu Biao and you to the palace to find me, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes, uncle."

City

When Liu Siyi followed Zhou Juan'er and two fast horses to the front of Zhou's courtyard, he saw that the bamboo fence wall had collapsed, and the two wooden mottled courtyard doors were broken into three pieces and fell to the ground without knowing what they had knocked open, and even the earthen wall of the house was smashed into a big hole.

"Daddy!"

Zhou Juan'er was so anxious that she wanted to cry, and when she saw that there was no one in the courtyard, she didn't care about the mud roof that was about to collapse, and rushed into the house to find her father.

There were three or five people lying in the room, two of them seemed to be seriously injured, and the one leaning on the corner of the wall had no breath and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the one by the door saw Zhou Juan'er coming in and struggled to prop up his body, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Juan'er and shouted weakly: "Juan...... Juan'er, Juan'er, you're back. ”

When Zhou Juan'er heard the voice, tears burst out of her eyes all of a sudden, and she shouted in a lost voice: "Uncle! Uncle, what's wrong with you, woo woo woo~"

Liu Siyi, who was standing on the side, saw a sour nose in his eyes for no reason, so he also leaned down and asked with concern: "This old uncle is not in a hurry, what happened here?" Has Juan'er's father been taken away by them? ”

"Who is this......?"

"This is the lady of Uncle Jingyuan's mansion, and she is here to help us, uncle, do you know where my father and his party were taken?"

Zhou Juan'er said as she supported her uncle's back with her hand, trying to help her uncle up from the ground, but before she could use her hand, her uncle seemed to have been touched by some sore spot, and there was a sudden expression of severe pain on his face, and his mouth kept coughing.

"Ahem~Ahem~"

A few bits of Yin Hong squirted out of his mouth and dripped on Zhou Juan'er's dress, which made Zhou Juan'er even more distressed, and the tears on her little face fell down like beads with broken threads.

"Don't ...... Don't help, I'm ...... I have a pain in my chest, I'm afraid it's an injury inside, you don't care about me for now........ Quick, go and save your daddy...... They're going to take your dad to the quarantine camp south of the city...... I'm afraid I'm about to leave the city now...... Other...... Leave me alone, go. ”

Liu Siyi is an outsider expert, and at a glance, she saw that Uncle Juan'er was afraid that he was suffering from internal injuries, so she pointed two onion-like fingers towards several sharp points on her uncle's body.

"Madame, this is ........."

"I helped your uncle seal some acupoints, it won't hurt so much for the time being, but looking at his appearance, he should be injured inside, and he must find Lang Zhong in time."

Liu Siyi turned around and looked at the other three people in the room who were obviously not lightly injured, thought about it, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zhou Juan'er and said: "In this way, let's divide into two ways, you take my jade pendant and go to the barracks to find their general, Jiang Shang, Jiang Yun, Zhao Lingfeng can do any of them, show him this jade pendant, and the medical officer will come to save his life, and I will save your father." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Juan'er knocked her head on the ground, and thanked her with tears in her eyes: "Mrs. Bodhisattva heart, Xiaomin's family can't repay Mrs. for her kindness even if she is a cow or a horse in the next life, thank you, Mrs." Thank you ma'am! ”

Liu Siyi hurriedly helped her up again, and after Zhou Juan'er said a few words to her uncle uneasily, the two women ran out of the Zhou family's mansion one after the other and went separately..........
