Chapter 79: Response (1)
Running to the river in one go, Zhiwen jumped into the river without even taking off his clothes.
The whole body was immersed in the river, and the river water was slowly washed away, until he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and then Zhiwen poked his head out of the water and gasped for breath.
He deliberately didn't jump into the crowd just now, for fear that the germs on his body would accidentally pass over someone's body.
Now soaking in the river water, I also hope that the river water and sunlight can take away and kill the germs on my body.
Strange to say, when they first arrived on the bank of the Wuding River, the water of the Wuding River was extremely turbid, it was simply a yellow mud soup, but as the terrain became more and more gentle, the river water became clearer and clearer, and it was thought that the sediment had sunk to the bottom of the river.
After a toss just now, he stirred up the silt at the bottom of the river, and several turbid yellow rivers continued to tumble, going down the river, slowly becoming lighter, and then turning into clear water in the distance.
It's funny to think about it, I hated the yellow soup-like river water, felt dirty, and didn't want to clean it inside, but the river water is yellow and mixed and turbid, it's nothing more than sediment, compared with the plague bacillus, I don't know how cute it is.
Yes, the third deceased who had just been buried had the famous plague in history.
In Europe, it is called the "Black Death", because once you have this disease, the body will be spotted due to subcutaneous bleeding, which is different from the corpse spots of normal death, and people will quickly turn black after death, so it is called the "Black Death".
Because of the rapid contagion, ferocious disease, and high mortality rate, the population of Europe in the late Middle Ages was sharply reduced, and the disease was regarded as an agent of death on earth, and the social structure of Europe collapsed, which indirectly promoted the rise of the Renaissance movement and the arrival of the Age of Discovery.
Naturally, this agent of death has no reason to spare the Chinese, but most of the Chinese history books are vague about the plague, often brushed aside, or the name of the disease is different from that of the West, in short, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, there is a more accurate record.
However, Zhiwen vaguely remembered that in the lessons of his previous life, it seemed to be mentioned that a plague broke out in the north at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and according to the description of its symptoms in some historical books, it was almost certain that it was the plague.
As for the specific high mortality rate of this disease, Zhiwen can't remember it clearly, but it should be close to half, and in the current situation, it is not surprising that the death rate of the fleeing population is more than half due to their weak constitution and lack of medical treatment.
It won't be so unlucky! Zhiwen's heart is cold, drought, famine, insect plague, earthquake, plus the current plague, it is really a rhythm to be played to death by God!
In an instant, Zhiwen's heart surged with the urge to flee here with Nannan, Niuniu, Dazhu and Xiaoying's family, as for the others, he couldn't bear it.
Once infected with the plague, in the future generations, you can only use antibiotics and even hormones in time, and if you take the medicine a little later, the treatment effect and prognostic effect will be worse.
It is said that there is a vaccine, but its effect is very limited.
As for traditional Chinese medicine, there is no effective prescription for this, and there are occasional successful cases, but they are not universally applicable.
What is really useful are the precautionary and post-treatment measures, such as isolating the sick and cremating the deceased.
With a "bang", Zhiwen got up from the water and ran to the shore in a few steps, or do you want to leave now?
But when I thought that my gang was getting more and more backward in the fleeing team, since there were already people infected here, the further forward they went, the more serious the epidemic would be.
Turn around and turn back to northern Shaanxi? What's more, at that time, I was trying to get out, and it was even more dangerous, and besides, what if someone got the plague later.
Find a deep mountain forest to hide? Zhiwen smiled bitterly, the ecological damage in northern Shaanxi is serious, the vegetation is scarce, and it is really difficult to find a good place, besides, this is a powder keg, a powder keg that will explode soon, how to cross the Yellow River.
Thinking about it like this, Zhiwen suddenly found that there was really no way to escape.
Now Zhiwen is extremely remorseful in his heart, why did he have to walk slowly in the group of refugees with the light and dust, and hurry as fast as at the beginning, maybe he has escaped from the epidemic area now.
Forget it, regret doesn't help, calm down, Zhiwen took a few deep breaths and warned himself to be calm.
Since you can't escape from this environment alone, you have to find a way to help the world..., no, find a way to protect your own people in this environment.
Sort out the idea and try to come up with all the precautions to deal with the plague.
First of all, food hygiene, this aspect has been done well, do not drink raw water, do not eat raw food, but before and after meals wash hands are not good, before the main lack of water, now by the river, then have to be strict, especially Xiaolin's gang.
By the way, rats are resolutely not allowed to eat, that is the source of infection.
No one in his family will catch him, and no one will eat it, but he can't wait for Xiaolin to catch them, and they are strictly not allowed to catch them, and it's not that they don't have meat to eat, just by the river, and they can take the fish out in a bright way.
Then there is personal hygiene, needless to say, it has been done very badly, or the reason for the lack of water, from the beginning of the escape, until the river to take a bath.
Now that the weather is hot and the river is clear, you can take a bath in the river every day.
As for looking like a refugee after taking a bath, it is easy to get into trouble, etc., in front of the plague, the agent of death, it is nothing.
Clothes should be washed and changed frequently, especially the fleas and lice inside, and they should be cleaned up.
Zhiwen has just confirmed that the third deceased was bubonic plague in the plague, and the symptoms were swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits and groin, which were mainly transmitted through the bite of fleas and lice.
But this is a very good solution for Zhiwen, no matter what kind of clothes, as soon as you enter and exit the system warehouse, these living creatures will be gone.
So far, except for the two fish fry found by Dazhu who were put into the system's fish pond by Zhiwen, no other living creatures can enter the system.
Of course, dirty laundry will not be cleaned, and you have to wash it yourself.
This is also the reason why Zhiwen and them fled all the way, although their clothes were dirty, there were basically no lice and fleas.
The focus is still on Kobayashi and them.
There is also the surrounding environment, to minimize the source of infection, in this way, these ownerless corpses, still have to help them collect and bury, if left alone, it will only allow more people to be infected, make the epidemic more serious, and more threatening to their own family.
Come on, this time I don't want to be a virgin, but I have to be a virgin.
Since it can't be cremated, the lime must be guaranteed, and the Sun father and son, who are both doctors and can burn lime, must find them again as soon as possible and fool the two of them in.
After going through it from the beginning again, Zhiwen felt that it was almost these measures and methods, let's go back to eat, so as not to worry about everyone.
It just so happened that the clothes on my body were half sun-dried and half body temperature-dry, and they were almost dry.
Returning to the shack by the river, looking at everyone's concerned eyes, Zhiwen smiled calmly: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I took a bath in the river, it's much better." ”
After thinking about it just now, Zhiwen went from panicking at the beginning to now with a great increase in confidence, and his mentality has stabilized.
As soon as he sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water, Xiao Jie leaned into his ear: "Xiao Zhi, there is not much lime left." ”
"Poof!" The water in Zhiwen's mouth squirted out before he could swallow it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and tilted his head towards Xiao Jie in time, not spraying others, but spraying Xiao Jie with water all over his head.
