Chapter 168: SARS in the Republic of China
"My lord, in Room 43 of Tongliao South City, there are three new cases of plague deaths."
A month later, the plague infected Tongliao City, and the death record was refreshed every day.
Originally, Tongliao, a new commercial city, was lifeless at this time, and more than a dozen people died every day. Once this plague is infected, it causes fever, cough, and then coughs up blood, and turns purple, and within three or four days, a living person will swallow his breath, and there is no cure at all. Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the despair that pervades the entire city, waiting for death to come.
Like Tongliao City, where the epidemic is raging, all industries are in ruins, people's livelihood is withering, and there is a comprehensive panic in social and economic life. The Qing government forcibly closed all theaters, brothels and other entertainment venues in the epidemic area, resulting in Youling "begging along the streets" and prostitutes "sitting for a long time with no way out". In Mukden, the plague caused a run on people. In Jilin, due to the cut off of transportation, the market is short of goods, and the people are miserable. In Harbin, the plague also affected the export of food crops such as soybeans. School closures due to plague epidemics, and industrial and mining shutdowns were common
"Mother...... Mother! ”
The whole street, everywhere is the roar of pain, in just a few days, there are countless people who have died, looking at all this in front of him He Tianci felt a little helpless, even if he has thousands of troops and horses, there are thousands of family wealth, in the face of this catastrophe is still too fragile, everything in the face of the plague seems worthless.
He Tianci couldn't help but think of the "**" in the era of his existence, it has been half a year since the outbreak of the plague, and there is no way at all, maybe this is the "**" in the late Qing Dynasty, Tongliao City is full of life and death, and human tragedies are staged every day.
Listening to the cry of grief, He Tianci felt a little bad in his heart.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good." Zhang Zhiming ran over in a dark panic.
"What's the matter?" He Tianci rubbed his temples, and he was a little exhausted from this matter during this time.
"The woman is now locked up in the house. Drove the two Yahuan out. Zhang Zhiming said it mildly, but fever is the prelude to the plague, as long as the plague is infected, no one can last for four days.
"What?" He Tianci's face changed drastically, and he stood up, he had a fever at this time, how could there be such a coincidental thing in the world.
"My lord, come here from Mukden for the latest telegram." At this moment, someone hurriedly walked in.
"Wu Liande, the chief medical officer of epidemic prevention in the three eastern provinces, please order the cremation of the corpse!"
He Tianci looked at the telegram sent by Xiliang. smiled coldly, and the crematorium used it to tell him that he had already started to implement it, and that such a big thing happened in Dongmeng, and Xiliang didn't even send a doctor, which was obviously sitting idly by. Look at yourself for jokes.
He Tianci threw the telegram in his hand to the ground and walked away.
"My lord, this is?" The stupid roe deer had already known the news of Zhang Suya's illness, and had been waiting for He Tianci at the door
"Madame has already issued a confession," the stupid roe deer smiled bitterly, isn't it obvious what he said? At this time, a high fever can basically be declared a plague.
"Get out of the way......" He Tianci wrinkled the tiger and shouted with his head wrinkled.
The stupid roe deer's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Stop the adult!" ”
couldn't stop it, looking at He Tianci's back, the two beautiful maids were standing outside the door at a loss.
"Stand down, all of you. No one is to approach without an order. He Tianci sighed and pushed open the door.
"Suya, open the door!" He Tianci knocked on the door before leaving.
Zhang Suya's sobbing voice came from inside the house, "Boss, you, you go quickly, don't get infected with our strange disease." ”
"You haven't been going anywhere in the house for the past two days, and the two maids are fine. You'll be fine, it's just a cold, don't scare yourself. He Tianci comforted
"Master, you go, I won't open the door. Let's go......" Zhang Suya knows his own situation, and since he learned about the plague in Taonan, he has been locking himself in the house. For fear that he would be infected with the disease and infect He Tianci and the child, his health has been worse day by day in the past few days, and she also knows that she will not be able to hold on.
After wandering a few steps at the door, He Tianci circled around the house. Then come to the window. Now there is a glass factory and a ash factory, and the new houses are all spacious red brick houses, and the windows have been replaced with glass windows. He Tianci clenched his fists and smashed his fist on the glass.
smashed a few pieces of glass and ripped the window down, the quality of glass in this era is not very good, but it does not mean that the glass ballast is not sharp, He Tianci's right hand kept dripping blood after a punch, but he didn't feel any pain at all, and he climbed in along the window.
The loud noise made Zhang Suya sit up immediately, straightened up her body, which was getting weaker and weaker due to illness, her sallow face was more pale, and she looked at He Tianci who came in, and her brows immediately wrinkled.
"You get me out, you get me out...... If you don't go out again, I'll die in front of you!" Zhang Suya went crazy and banged on the bed with a pair of pink fists, looking at He Tianci who was gradually coming over, she was a little desperate, but also a joy.
She knew that He Tianci had a bigger task, not to die in her own woman's family, she had long heard about the seriousness of this disease, and it would be contagious once there was close contact, so she was so crazy to stop He Tianci.
However, watching He Tianci keep approaching him, in order not to be afraid of being infected, there was a trace of emotion in his heart, and the crazy shouts became smaller and smaller, but instead they were painful or moved cries: "You are so stupid in charge, if you are ......"
He Tianci went up and picked up Zhang Suya, at this time he hesitated to get sick, and his body looked even more thin, He Tianci gently pulled Zhang Suya in his arms: "Don't say such things, it's okay, you just have a cold, everything will be fine." ”
Zhang Suya just shook her head, crying and not speaking, but she couldn't struggle with He Tianci, and it took a long time to collapse and cry in He Tianci's arms.
At this time, the room was so quiet that it was as if an embroidery needle could be heard falling on the ground.
With a bang, the gate of the courtyard was slammed open by a large log carried by more than a dozen officers and soldiers, and this sudden sound immediately destroyed the peace in the house.
"Madame, stay good, someone is demolishing our house, I have to go out and see which guy is so bold." He Tianci tried to lighten the heavy atmosphere and said with a smile.
"You rebelled one by one?" He Tianci walked out of the house and stopped a group of people who came in, including stupid roe deer, Zhang Zhiming, and Song Fugui. "Get me out of here and stand farther away."
"My lord, please take the overall situation first, tens of thousands of brothers, hundreds of thousands of Dongmeng people are still waiting for your lord." said that the voice of the stupid roe deer changed tone, and just now several people discussed it outside, they want to die together, and if He Tianci dies, they will not live.
"I can't even keep my wife, what kind of adult, besides, my wife, it's just an ordinary cold and fever, and the roe deer will ask the doctor to grab a few pairs of fever-reducing medicine." Listening to the words of the stupid roe deer, the corners of He Tianci's mouth twitched a little, and tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.
"But ......"
"It's nothing, I've been in the house for so long, I'm going to get sick and get sick early, and it's useless to say anything now." He Tianci held back the tears in his eyes, and began to choke a little after speaking, but the words that followed were never spoken.
"Get out of here!" He Tianci shouted that he didn't want these brothers to follow him to get sick, these things had nothing to do with them, and he walked back without looking back.
Back in the house, He Tianci let out a sigh, climbed on the bed and held Zhang Suya's little hand and said, "Okay, no one will disturb us now." ”
Touching He Tianci's wet hand, Zhang Suya suddenly exclaimed: "Your hand is bleeding." ”
"Who told you not to open the door and smashed a few pieces of glass, can you not bleed?" He Tianci said reproachfully: "What, when you close the door, you think I can't do anything about the two of you?" ”
Zhang Suya's hand was in her arms, wiping the blood for He Tianci, in fact, there was nothing to wipe, on such a cold day, the blood turned into ice as soon as it flowed out.
"Let me in!" Xu Xuyun's voice sounded outside the door, and the two little maids desperately stopped and said, "My lord, Miss Xu wants to go in." ”
Xu Xuyun has a good relationship with Zhang Suya in private, and the maids also know her pungency
"Nobody!" He Tianci yelled outside the door.
Hearing that it was Xu Xuyun, Zhang Suya had another smile on her face, and held He Tianci's hand tightly and said: "In charge, I have long seen that Miss Xu has a little meaning to you, you can marry her, I am sick ......."
"Su Ya, don't say it, you believe me, you're fine, it's just a common cold, you will definitely survive, we will always be together."
"My own body and bones, I know, don't stop me, I have a good relationship with Miss Xu, and she can be good to our two children in the future, and Xu Xuyun's father Xu Shichang will also be helpful to your career, after so many years, our family has always been your family, because you are in charge, let me go home today, okay?"
The more she went to the back, the quieter Zhang Suya's voice became, lying on He Tianci's body weakly, her vision was a little blurry, as if all this had returned to the time when the two first met, she seemed to have seen He Tianci who was dressed in a short beating, half of her ass was sitting on a stool, and half of her ass was hanging outside.
He Tianci, who had a delicate face like a scholar, the time the two spent together was vivid, she was a little reluctant, and held He Tianci's hand fiercely.
"Okay?" Zhang Suya's big eyes were a little dim, almost begging He Tianci.
He Tianci glanced at the weak Zhang Suya, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, refusing to answer. (To be continued.)
