Chapter Thirty-Eight: Death and Resurrection
The team of hundreds of people, the camp is strictly divided into three areas, and there is a distance between the three areas, and according to Zhao Chen's regulations, the people in these three camps are not allowed to enter and leave without his consent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And these three camps are the seriously ill areas, such as the child who first found smallpox, and the second, the person who is suspected of contracting smallpox, most of these people were found out during the investigation.
The third is naturally those who have had close contact with smallpox patients, and the third group is the majority of the hundreds of people.
If you say that among the hundreds of people in the mountains at this time, the people who can get out of here alive by that time are probably these people, and on the contrary, the people with the smallest chance are probably those who are included in the key quarantine.
Zhao Chen: The place where they camp here is at the foot of a mountain, and some distance further on, there is a small col where two hills meet, and this is the place that the big guy calls the forbidden land of death.
Not for anything else, just because the camp stationed here is the same people who were infected with smallpox, and they are also the people who are the most unlikely to get out of the mountain alive after entering the mountain this time!
This mountain col, known as the forbidden land of death, has been completely isolated from the outside world since the first day of construction, and no one, including Zhao Chen, is allowed to go near the mountain pass.
Except for the information that Wuhou, who was responsible for delivering food and water every day, was strictly required to wear the clothes given by Zhao Chen in order to deliver the necessary daily necessities on time, and then bring back to the mountain pass, it was simply isolated from the world.
"Master Hou, Daoist Sun's reply!" It was already the fifth day after coming to the mountain, and Zhao Chen had just come from Qin Yuyan's tent, and a martial artist handed over a folded letter to Zhao Chen.
As the Wuhou said, this letter was written by Sun Laodao, and this letter was brought by Wuhou from the mountain col just now, because on the day Sun Laodao completed the construction of the camp, he entered the forbidden land of death alone.
During this time, Zhao Chen took Li Er's medical craftsmen recruited from all over Guanzhong to be in charge of the two camps outside, while Sun Laodao was alone and was in charge of the camps in the mountain pass.
Every day, the communication between Zhao Chen and Sun Laodao is through Wuhou when he sends items, and they communicate with each other in the form of letters, Zhao Chen himself is immune to smallpox, but unfortunately, Sun Laodao is still stubbornly unwilling to let Zhao Chen set foot in the mountain col half a step.
Took the letter from Wu Hou's hand, unfolded it in front of Wu Hou, a few lines of strong and powerful font, suddenly jumped on the paper, read it along the familiar font, after a while, sighed slightly, folded the letter and threw it into the blazing fire on the side.
"Master Hou, what did Daoist Sun say?" The Wuhou who sent the letter on the side was none other than the stupid big brute bull, seeing Zhao Chen's sigh after reading the letter, the brute bull suddenly asked curiously.
"Huh!" Hearing Manniu's inquiry, Zhao Chen suddenly smiled bitterly, and then took out a cigarette and lit it, and was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Manniu and said, "What else can there be, continue to deteriorate!" ”
As Zhao Chen said, Sun Laodao said in the letter that the condition of several people in the col is not optimistic, the smallpox on their bodies is continuing to deteriorate, and even some people are festering.
Zhao Chen was not surprised at all by such a result, there was no effective treatment, just relying on the drugs he gave, it was useless at all, it was nothing more than a little prolongation!
"Master Hou, someone in the second battalion is wrong again!" However, just as Zhao Chen was here, sighing with the two of them, a doctor suddenly came over in a hurry, and said to Zhao Chen with a somewhat ugly face.
"What's wrong?" In the past few days, what Zhao Chen is most afraid of is that the doctor will look for him, because whenever there is a doctor looking for him, it must be in the camp, and someone will be unlucky.
"When the old man went to the second battalion for a routine inspection, he found a person with a high fever, an old... The old decay doesn't dare to confirm it! Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, the doctor in front of him immediately looked at Zhao Chen in embarrassment, and said a little hesitantly.
"Check it out!" Hearing the words of the medical craftsman, Zhao Chen still dared to rub his feet, and when he stood up, while talking, he followed the medical craftsman towards the place where the second camp was located.
The person who was found to have a high fever by the doctor was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, and I didn't know what this person had done before.
It was about to see the doctor come over with Zhao Chen, and the man's eyes looked very flustered when he looked at Zhao Chen!
"Forty degrees!" When he came to the tent where the man was, Zhao Chen first measured the man's body temperature, however, as the doctor said, the man's body temperature was indeed beyond the scope of normal human body temperature.
"Hou... Master Hou's family is fine! Although he didn't understand what Zhao Chen said about forty degrees, what kind of concept it was, however, as long as he looked at Zhao Chen's expression that changed color instantly, the man still intuitively felt something, and immediately cried with a sad face, and said almost pleading at Zhao Chen.
"And what's uncomfortable there?" Hearing the man's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he still looked at the man and asked seriously.
"Hou... Master Hou, a certain family is hot, no... Nothing else! Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, the man suddenly cried with a sad face, and when he looked at Zhao Chen, he argued almost pleadingly: "It's true, Master Hou doesn't believe it, you can ask a certain family's Hun family..."
"It's... It's true! The man's voice fell, and a woman on the side, who seemed to be the man's mother-in-law, nodded at Zhao Chen without waiting for Zhao Chen to ask.
I understand what this couple means, that people are afraid of death, especially at this time, once they are infected with smallpox, they will be sent to the mountain col, I am afraid that once they enter, there is no possibility of coming out alive.
"It's not child's play!" Zhao Chen understood the man's mentality at this moment, so his tone softened slightly, looked at the skinny man in front of him and said, "There are many people here, and you don't want to affect the big guy because of one person, right?" ”
"But... But there is only one man in a certain family! Zhao Chen's words fell, and the man who had just argued with Zhao Chen suddenly lowered his head with a sad face, with a crying tone in his voice, his shoulders shook vigorously, and he choked at Zhao Chen.
Listening to a big man, especially a middle-aged man, crying silently in front of him, Zhao Chen didn't feel good in his heart, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything at this time.
The man contracted smallpox, not only with a high fever, but also with fainting, vomiting, and back pain, which were the first symptoms of smallpox, and naturally, the man was sent to the col.
Seeing the man being sent all the way to the mountain col by the brute bull, listening to the woman's cry of the dead man in the camp, Zhao Chen couldn't help but take a long breath, turned around and left the second camp.
However, as if Pandora's box had been opened, since the man was found to be infected with smallpox, people infected with smallpox began to appear in the camp one after another.
Almost every day, when Zhao Chen woke up and walked out of Qin Yuyan's tent, a doctor came to look for him, and the reason for looking for him, without exception, was that he had found an infected person with smallpox.
At the beginning, because of what Zhao Chen said, there was still a little hope in the camp, however, since the appearance of smallpox people one after another, the entire camp began to be shrouded in the haze of death and became lifeless.
Every day, people are sent to the col, and although those who are sent away have a look of despair, those who see them sent away do not have a look of despair.
Whenever he looked at those people and was sent away, looking at the desperate look he revealed, Zhao Chen didn't feel good in his heart, feeling that he was like an executioner at this time, however, when he turned his head, he had to be ruthless and send away another desperate person.
"Master Hou, Daoist Sun wants to see you!" It was already the evening of the twelfth day, and Zhao Chen had just returned to the tent and was about to flip through the books, but suddenly heard the sound of a bull outside the tent.
"Dao Elder has come out?" Hearing Manniu's words, Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then, he walked out of the tent quickly, looked at Manniu outside, and asked suspiciously.
"yes!" Manniu's expression, these days are not very good, hearing Zhao Chen's words, Manniu suddenly nodded, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Daochang Sun is waiting for the Hou Ye in the grove over there!" ”
"Okay, take me there!" Sun Laodao wanted to see him at this time, it must be something important, when he thought of this, Zhao Chen then nodded, and as he spoke, he walked towards the woods with the two of them.
As the wild bull said, Sun Laodao was indeed in the woods, still wearing a gray robe, but because he hadn't seen him for many days, Sun Laodao looked much thinner than when they came.
"Poor Dao has something to give you!" As soon as Zhao Chen came to the woods, before he could speak, Sun Laodao, who saw him, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a crumpled booklet from his arms, handed it to Zhao Chen, and said.
"Prescription?" thought that Sun Laodao gave him something, but when Zhao Chen opened it curiously, he found that the booklet was full of dense prescriptions.
"This is all the prescriptions recorded in the life of the poor Dao!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Sun Laodao looked at the slowly sinking sunset in the distance, and said without looking back: "Poor Dao hopes that you can take it out of the mountain, or hand it over to the medical hall, or stay in the school palace!" ”
"What do you mean, Dao Chief!" Sun Laodao's words, it sounded a little wrong, and it felt like he was entrusting the future, Zhao Chen took the booklet, frowned slightly, looked at Sun Laodao and asked.
"Let's get out of the mountain!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Sun Laodao's eyes suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, and the expression on his face was extremely flat and said: "In five days, if the poor road can't come out, then take Yuyan out of the mountain, and don't ask about anything here!" ”
"What do you mean?" I had long felt that something was wrong with Sun Laodao, and when he heard the five-day deadline at this time, Zhao Chen's heart immediately had a bad premonition, and he looked at Sun Laodao and asked, "Daoist, what do you want to do?" ”
"Can't wait!" Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Sun Laodao suddenly sighed, looked in the direction of the mountain col, and said without looking back: "Poor Dao wants to try the method you said, whether it succeeds or not, there will probably be results in five days!" ”
"No way!" Hearing Sun Laodao's words, Zhao Chen refused even and said: "Those methods are just what I have heard, specifically, I am checking these days, and before I find out, the Taoist must not try!" ”
"Poor Dao is here to tell you, not to discuss with you!" However, when Zhao Chen's words fell, Sun Laodao suddenly turned around, looked at Zhao Chen expressionlessly, and said in a stiff tone: "So, you can wait here for five days, and after five days, if you don't see the poor road coming out, you will obediently return to Chang'an!" ”
When these words fell, without waiting for Zhao Chen to say more, Sun Laodao had already turned around, ignored Zhao Chen's call behind him, and went all the way to the direction of the mountain pass! (To be continued.) )
