"Dead rats in the east, dead rats in the west, people see dead rats like tigers! Rats die within a few days, and people die like demolition. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The day is dead, don't ask the number, the day is bleak and sad. The three of them walked less than ten steps, and suddenly two people died across the road. When people die at night, they don't dare to cry, and the plague ghost exhales and shakes the green.

The wind and lights are flickering, and the coffins of people and ghosts are in the same room. The black cries constantly, the dog cries when it smells, the people are ghostly, and the ghosts take people and gods. Every person in the day is a ghost, and at dusk a ghost is a suspicious!

People are dead all over the ground, and human bones are gradually blown old by the wind. Tian He has no one to collect, who to ask for the official rent?

I want to ride the heavenly dragon, go to the heavenly mansion, call the heavenly father, beg the heavenly mother, sprinkle the heavenly pulp, scatter the heavenly milk, and penetrate the nine plains and thousands of feet. Everyone in the underground is alive, and the yellow spring turns into a spring rain! ”

This "Rat Death Line" is the work of Shi Daonan, the son of Wangjiang Ling's teacher, before he died in his 20s, the whole poem is just more than 200 words, but the word "death" appears 9 times and the word "ghost" 6 times. Although the poem is terrifying, it does not fully convey the horror of the plague.

In less than half a month, 10 regiments and more than 30,000 officers and soldiers entered nearly 100 cities in the two places to assist the local gendarmes in maintaining and implementing the epidemic prevention order.

At the same time as the army entered the disease area to implement the epidemic prevention order, Lingnan College Medical School, one of the only two Western medical schools in China, also received a telegram from Wuchang, which is different from the compulsory military medical hall of the army, and there is no mandatory force for the student governor's office here.

“…… Everyone is a doctor, and everyone knows very well that the plague is an extremely dangerous disease, and those who are in it will die! ”

In the auditorium of the school, in front of the dozens of young students in the audience, who were the first batch of doctors trained by Lingnan Medical College, Li Ziyuan's tone was extremely solemn.

"So, you can decide for yourself whether to go to the epidemic area to participate in the epidemic prevention!"

After Li Ziyuan's words fell, there was silence in the auditorium, and more than sixty students were silent, as if all of them were thinking.

While the classmates were thinking, as the only girl among them, Li Wanting lowered her eyes, her lips opened and closed slightly, and she made a sound that only she could hear.

"Now I have entered the medical profession and vowed to dedicate myself to humanitarian service; I am grateful and respect my teacher as if I were a parent. and to practice medicine with conscience and dignity; The health of my patients is my primary concern. I will keep the secrets which the sick have entrusted to me; I will do my best to uphold the honour and noble traditions of the medical profession...... Even in the face of threats, my medical knowledge is not contrary to humanity. ”

Li Wanting, who silently recited the "Hippocratic Oath" in her heart, raised her head when the last sentence behind her back, "I solemnly and voluntarily swear the above oath in my personality", her slightly drooping eyes opened, and just as she stood up, she heard the sound of chairs moving around her.

"I'm willing to go!"

"I do!"

When the loud words came out of their voices, looking at these young students, Li Ziyuan only felt that his eyes were hot, and he was silent and did not speak, but just bowed his hands above the top and bowed deeply to the students in the audience.

"Li Mou on behalf of the people of the world to thank you!"

Li Ziyuan's tone was low, his expression was solemn, looking at this young face, looking at the perseverance on that face, at this moment, he felt that he seemed to be a little too selfish, when the plague broke out, his first thought was that his crisis had passed.

The plague will become the overriding problem, and the epidemic will need to be banned by the government! The authority of the government is needed, which means that everything will be put down temporarily, and Li Ziyuan has reason to believe that as long as the limelight passes, the government will "forget" about this matter, as for the lord...... Forget too!

Will it really be forgotten?

Of course, Li Ziyuan hopes that the lord will forget about this matter, but it seems that this possibility is not great, the lord will send an investigation team to investigate this matter, what will be the final result of the investigation?

Will you get the truth of the incident?

What truth?

What will be the truth?

After leaving Lingnan College, Li Ziyuan's brows were tightly locked, and now he once again felt that the various regulations in the palace were constrained, if he was the governor of the Manchu Dynasty, maybe the people surnamed Zhao would have died now, and as for those machine owners, they were now also exiled overseas, and then ......

Then the investigation will naturally not find out anything!

But now, he has to face a reality - those culprits are staying in prison well, crying out for injustice and giving up for himself. And those owners were frightened, but they hadn't yet begun a large-scale exile.

What to do?

His brows were tightly locked, and Li Ziyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, did not have the slightest emotion on his face, he sat there, motionless.

Horse-drawn carriages walked along the streets of Guangzhou.

If Li Ziyuan looked out, he might feel a little surprised, because this road was smoother than in the past. Not only do the people obey the right-hand side of the road, but even the shops that used to occupy the road on the side of the road will also take back their paving. It's not a wide street, it seems to be much smoother than usual, and there is no congestion in the past.

Why is this so?

If Li Ziyuan looked out, he might know the reason -- because the gunshots in Xiguan told the people that the government did not mind using murder to uphold the law, and the premise of fearing the law was that the government would enforce the law strictly and fairly. Regardless of whether the Xiguan matter is fair or not, and whether it was instigated by traitors colluding with the Manchus as those people say, at least the people saw that the original "extenuating" machine owners were now going to be exiled overseas, and they naturally did not dare to question the government's decrees.

Laws that used to be repeated and not necessarily obeyed are now being obeyed. More than two hundred years of enslavement have long taught them how to "revere".

"Hey......"

After Wei Ran let out a long sigh, thinking of the lord's reprimand, Li Ziyuan shook his head and muttered to himself.

"It seems that this Guangzhou itself will not stay long!"

Although he didn't know what the final result would be, Li Ziyuan knew very well that he might not be able to stay in Guangdong. As for the moment, it's just because of the need to prevent diseases!

"Before you go, one last thing to do for the people!"

Thinking of the disease prevention that is now related to the life and death of millions of people, Li Ziyuan said silently. Perhaps, only in this way can the lord's trust in himself be restored, if there is still that trust!

As the troops entered the market town, through the entire street, Li Wanting did not see a single figure, and the once prosperous market town was as silent as a dead city at this time. Only the rustle of their own footsteps.

The countryside is different from the city, in the county seat, there is a county government, a gendarmerie to maintain order, more or less, there is always some anger. In the countryside, there is no anger at all, and everyone seems to be dodging, avoiding the harm of "Itchy Grandpa". On the streets and at the doors of households, there are rotten vegetables, broken shoes and other things. You can imagine what kind of fear people are experiencing.

They were tempted to find someone and check on the situation, but all the doors were closed, but they could feel as if someone was watching them.

"Don't be afraid, we are the epidemic prevention team sent by the government, and we are the ...... to treat everyone."

The leading gendarmes shouted loudly in Cantonese, not very fluent, that the gendarmes were not locals, that most of them were from Hunan or Hubei, but that they could now speak some Cantonese.

But no one responded to his words, and at this time the people repelled and feared the strangers, and if it were not for the guns they carried, perhaps someone would have smashed them out with a brick.

They turned the corner and headed south, and a few wild dogs, startled by their footsteps, suddenly sprang up and sprang down another street. After that, the streets and alleys seemed even more deadly silent.

"Ding......

In the midst of this eerie silence, there was a crisp sound in the alley, which seemed to be the sound of copper plates being thrown on the ground. Then I heard someone talking there.

"There is no one in the family, don't come to pick up people anymore......"

Following the sound, I saw that in that alley, an old woman was throwing vegetables outside for people to pick up and throw outside, and she said things like "there is no one at home" and "tell the Yin soldiers not to come to pick up people again" while throwing them.

Superstition stems from helplessness and fear of this virulent contagion.

Along the way, they have witnessed people under the shadow of death calling the plague "Itchy Daddy", "Itchy Grandpa", and "Itchy Grandma" on various ceremonial occasions to beg them to spare them.

"Grandma!"

Seeing people, Li Wanting hurriedly walked over, although she was from Guangdong, she didn't speak the dialect of northern Guangdong.

"Ah...... Don't look for me, don't look for me......"

As soon as the old woman, who was chasing "Itchy Grandpa", saw someone coming, her wrinkled face suddenly showed a look of fear, and at the same time, she let out a scream, and at the same time, she turned around and fled with incredible agility.

"Bang!"

Just as she was about to leave, the accompanying gendarmes immediately fired a shot into the air.

"Don't run! Run again and kill you! ”

Apparently no good words were of any use to the sound of the gunshot and the loud shouting, and the old woman, who had been trying to flee home, was immediately stopped running away at the sound of the gunshot, but stood there tremblingly, looking at these outsiders in horror.

"Official, official, ......"

"Grandma, don't be afraid, we were sent by the government to help everyone see a doctor, where does your covenant (equivalent to the township head) live......

Sometimes preaching doesn't always work, but guns and violence can certainly be tamed, especially for people who are used to being slaves. Relying on the firing of guns and a deterrent, Li Wanting and her entourage soon requisitioned the land temple outside the village as an isolation center, and at the same time began to isolate the affected families.

But because the plague has been circulating in the town for a month, from one or two deaths a day to now ten or even a dozen deaths a day. At this point, the patient is sent to an isolation facility as soon as he is found, but all this does not make much difference - the number of infected patients is constantly increasing.

However, in just a few days, this small land temple was already full of patients, and as the only doctor, Li Wanting spent almost ten hours a day here.

There was a foul stench in the air in the Land Temple, but more often than not, it was the painful wails of the sick. Some of the patients had their hands clenched into their groins and vomited while talking gibberish.

Dressed in a doctor's robe and wearing a mask, Li noticed that the patients' lymph nodes were much larger than before, which meant that their condition had worsened again, and some of them had begun to bleed pus, which soon festered like rotten fruit.

But as a doctor, Li Wanting can't do anything, she has no ability to treat them at all, the plague is incurable, and there is no cure for the middle!

On the work record of the tenth day, Li Wanting wrote:

"Five more patients have died today, 1,456 people in the town, 327 households, 157 people have died so far, of which 6 families have died......"

Behind the simple numbers, there is a cold death, one corpse after another.

Despite the continuous death of patients every day, as a doctor, Li Wanting still dutifully helps these incurable patients, using the topical drugs recorded in the Chinese medicine prescription to treat them, but in fact the effect is very little. At best, it will reduce the patient's suffering, and this is perhaps the doctor's greatest ability, as the surgery is undoubtedly simpler than the use of external herbs that have no effect, and it is obvious that these abscesses must be opened in order to relieve the patient's pain.

With a scalpel on the cross, the swollen lymph nodes overflowed with bloody pus. The patient was bleeding, his limbs were spread apart, and spots appeared on his abdomen and legs. Some lymph nodes stop producing pus and enlarge again. In most cases, the patient dies slowly in a foul smell......

Finally, after dealing with the last patient, Li Wanting walked out of the unpleasant and smelly isolation ward, and she came outside to breathe fresh air, so that the somewhat swollen brain felt a little clearer and dispelled the nightmare in the brain.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wanting looked into the distance, in the distant field, the burning pyre emitted a raging fire in the lifeless field, and the huge fire was splashed everywhere, and the smoke rose into the dark night sky.

It was the soldiers who were burning the bodies - according to the epidemic prevention order, all the corpses must be burned, even those that have been buried must be re-exhumed and burned, which undoubtedly contradicts the tradition of the people, but in the face of the guns and the threat of death from the soldiers, people can only reluctantly accept this fact. Reluctantly accept the reality that the graves of their loved ones are being excavated and their bodies are burned. Under the threat of gunpoint, everyone will compromise!

"Hey...... I hope it will calm down soon...... Ahem......"

The coughing sound in her throat made Li Wanting's heart surge with vigilance, and she tried to touch her forehead, the hot forehead seemed to remind her, reminding her of what had happened in her body.

At this moment, her face turned pale...... As a doctor, she knew very well that there was a good chance she had contracted the plague!
