Chapter 129: Plague Outbreak (1)
There was silence all around, and Chen Yi opened his eyes, his eyes full of sadness and confusion. Leaving the unknown apparitions, his gaze fell back into the dark cavern.
"Xiaoyi, you're awake." Seeing Chenyi wake up, Liu Yiyi said happily that perhaps nothing is more important to her than Chenyi's safety.
Hurriedly handed over the prepared water glass.
Chen Yi had a dry mouth for a long time, so he took the water cup and drank it all. Feeling that he hadn't drunk enough, he got out of bed, sat down at the table, picked up the kettle, and drank it in a big gulp.
Liu Yiyi looked at him secretly, and even looked carefully at the details of his Adam's apple sliding up and down slightly because of the spring water in the swallowing pot.
After drinking a jug of water, I feel much better.
"Aunt Qiu.
The woman walked in from outside the cave, and Liu Yiyi hurriedly spoke.
"Aunt Qiu? Could it be that Yiyi and the masked woman know each other? ”
The woman looked at Chen Yi carefully, and asked meticulously: "Young master, are you awake, are you feeling unwell?" ”
After waking up, I remembered a lot of blurry and fragmentary pictures, and my heart was full of questions, some questions, after I woke up, I wanted to ask the masked woman, what did I experience when I was a child? Why do fragments of pictures appear in my mind, is it because I have been greatly stimulated and lost my memory before. Memories returned?
Or are you hallucinating?
Chen Yi looked at Aunt Qiu quietly, but she didn't know how to speak.
"Aunt Qiu, am I really the young master of Zhenguo Mansion? Could you have misidentified someone? ”
The woman walked up to Chen Yi and whispered, "How could I be mistaken, your eyes are very similar to the eldest princess, do you have a plum blossom birthmark on your right arm?" ”
"Am I not the little master of the Lin family?"
"Young Master of the Lin family?"
The woman tugged at the clothes on Chenyi's chest and laughed hysterically:
"Your real name is Lin Chenyi, is the only bloodline left in the world by the lord and Mrs., eighteen years ago, the Zhenguo Mansion was wiped out by the enemy overnight, fortunately, that day I accompanied my wife, took you to the palace to visit the emperor, the next day, Mrs. heard the news that the Zhenguo Mansion was destroyed."
As if recalling the past many years ago, the woman continued to speak in a sad and miserable manner: "When Madame got the news, she was bent on avenging her lord, and she quarreled with His Majesty today for it, and since that day on, Madame has been sullen all day long. ”
Chen Yi only felt that his eyes were dark.
Liu Yiyi hurriedly supported Chen Yi, her eyes full of worry.
The woman muttered in a low voice, "After a month, Madame asked me to sneak out of the palace and find a baby about your size outside, and let me quietly bring you in and steal you out." ”
Could it be that when I was a child, my mother found something in the palace? Or is the tragedy that occurred in the Zhenguo Mansion and the palace involved?
A few days later, Chen Yi and his party left the ghost market in a hurry, returned to Chang'an, and returned to their fiefdom.
"Childe, something happened, something happened."
"What's wrong?" Chen Yi closed the book in front of the table and said lazily.
Who would have thought that the dog said: "The woman of Fuguofu, I went back to my parents' house a few days ago to save my relatives, and after I came back, the high fever did not go away, and at first the doctor thought it was a common cold, who knew that it was a plague." I heard that Miss Luojia and Gongzi in the house are also infected! ”
After hearing this, Chen Yi was inexplicably shocked in his heart, you must know that the most terrible thing in ancient times was not war, not famine, nor flood, but plague.
"There's a plague? Why have you never heard of such a big thing? Is the maiden home of the princess of Fuguo far away from the capital? Chen Yi asked curiously.
"Childe, the maiden home of the princess of Fuguo is not far from the capital, it is estimated that the horseback riding day and night is estimated, and it can be driven in three days at most, I heard that it is a small town, a village not far from the town, there was an epidemic a year ago, it was found early, it was not infected, and the court secretly gave it to ......"
Thirteen didn't say any more, and made a "killing" action, and Chen Yi already understood that in the face of the plague, the imperial court would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
In the past dynasties, once faced with a plague, most of the sick people would be secretly executed, and finally the corpses would be burned with fire. This is the sadness of medical backwardness.
The fact that the woman was infected with the plague shows that the virus in that place has not been completely eradicated, and a new epidemic will spread, and it will spread to the villages of the surrounding towns.
"Thirteen, how did you know about this?" Chen Yi asked seriously.
"Fuguo Gong Luo Pengfei, only married one wife in his life, and now the eldest prince and the young lady are infected one after another, and the Zhao Imperial Doctor, who came to diagnose and treat, noticed that the situation was not right, and reported to the Tai Hospital, and last night the Fuguo Mansion began, and martial law has begun, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
After Thirteen finished speaking, he took out a few packets of medicinal herbs and said in a low voice: "This is the Imperial Doctor Huang of Tai Hospital who secretly sent someone to send it over, so that it can be boiled into a decoction, so that everyone in the house must take it." Imperial Physician Huang also instructed us to clean the house every day, keep it ventilated, and it's best not to go out if it's okay. ”
There is an incubation period for epidemics, and everyone's resistance is different, the onset time is also different, and the symptoms can be mild or severe. But basically it will not be more than two weeks or so, Fuguo Gong has people in and out every day, these people have the possibility of being infected, one to ten, ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands, and then I don't know how many times the infection will be, and how many people will die one after another.
At this time, the hospital is going crazy, and I don't know what the disease is.
Since it was a plague, it was better to take precautions as soon as possible, Chen Yi looked at the medicinal materials sent by Imperial Doctor Huang, which were some simple formulas for clearing heat and detoxifying.
"Thirteen, during this time, let the people in the house drink more water, you instruct to go down, from today to everyone, morning, noon and evening must drink more boiling water, three bowls per person after meals." Chen Yi didn't think much about it, so he ordered.
I don't know, what is the situation of Fu Guogong, and whether Luo Xiaodi and them are in danger.
"Yiyi you take these silver tickets, go to the various cloth houses, clothes, no matter how many white cloths they have, buy them all, thirteen you let the women who are good at fiefdom needlework, let them go to the house to help, each person can receive ten copper coins a day, according to my requirements, make them into the shape I request."
The people of the fiefdom, after knowing Chen Yi's request, all those who were good at needlework rushed to help, and after Chen Yi exempted them from paying taxes, they were very grateful to Chen Yi for treating him as a living bodhisattva.
In the next two days, the people of the entire mansion worked day and night, daring to make masks, and after the masks were made and disinfected with boiling water, they were then piled up to prepare for the next epidemic.
Two days later, news of someone being infected with the plague continued to spread in the palaces of several major countries, the prime minister's mansion, and several major families, and even the palace, and the news was overwhelming.
The news can't be hidden at all, and even ordinary people have an epidemic.
The plague spread in the capital, the epidemic had long exceeded the control of the imperial doctors, and Chen Yi could not determine what the plague was, and the entire capital was shrouded in haze.
