Chapter 41: The Deceased
Zhang Li looked at Gao Yuanliang and motioned for him to continue.
Gao Yuanliang said: "Now the city Wang Xiancheng and the government officials and Minzhuang patrol are very strict, as long as any household shows symptoms, they will be immediately sent outside the city......"
Zhang Zhang still didn't understand, Gao Yuanliang continued: "The neighbors supervise each other, and they check every hour, even in the middle of the night!" β
Zhang Li was puzzled: "This strict inspection is a good thing-"
"Hey, why can't the young master turn this corner! Think about it, those who get sick are immediately sent out of the city, so where does the disease come from?! β
That's what I said!
Now the tension is clear, this means that the incubation period of this plague is long, and the spread of the plague begins during the incubation period!
No wonder Anzi is so nervous, she locks the door during the day, for fear that someone will come in!
Gao Yuanliang said: "Young master, think about it, a seemingly normal ordinary person is most likely your acquaintance. You don't even see the symptoms of his illness, but he has passed on the incubation plague to you! What a terrible thing! β
Zhang Li nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not wrong for you to be careful, the plague is coming quickly, and it's right to be a little more careful." But if you think about it, I have been in contact with the sick every day, so why don't I get sick? β
"This ......" Gao Yuanliang and Kang Xingan were speechless for a while.
Zhang Zhang smiled: "Eat first, I'll sue you at the dinner table!" β
Kang Xing'an had a look of reverence on his face, in his mind, the young master had already equated with the "Penglai Medical Immortal" he said, he was simply an omnipotent immortal!
This meal Anzi made cabbage soup, large pickles and white rice, and the three of them ate it with relish.
At the banquet, Gao Yuanliang kept complaining about Anzi, saying that the young master would not make two meat dishes when he came back. Zhang Zhang knew that Gao Yuanliang was born as a martial artist and was a foodie, but he didn't break him......
At the table, Zhang Li tried his best to choose words that Anzi and Gao Yuanliang could understand, and explained in detail the transmission route of the plague and simple prevention methods.
Among the medicinal materials that were hoarded by tension before, there was a blue root.
In later generations, it was a good medicine for the prevention and control of plague, but unfortunately it did not attract enough attention in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Zhang told the two to drink a bowl of banlan root decoction every morning, noon and evening, which can play a certain preventive role.
The soup was full, and after Anzi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Anzi and the original didn't see tension for several days, so they chatted together again.
Gao Yuanliang has been trapped in the yard these days, and the bird has already faded out of his mouth, so he said to Kang Xing'an: "Anzi, you usually take care of money, and it is inconvenient for me to say anything." It's rare for the young master to come back for a day of rest, and tomorrow we must go out and buy something delicious to come back! β
Zhang Zhang smiled and didn't speak.
Kang Xing'an looked innocent: "Oh, Uncle Gao, do you still need to say this?" Didn't we both understand how the plague spreads two days ago, so we didn't dare to go out to buy groceries? You blame me, as if I was stingy! β
Zhang Zhang smiled: "Haha! Don't be poor, we'll go out tomorrow and come back with some pork shochu! As long as you beware of the transmission routes I just told you, you will not get sick! If Mingyue Tower hasn't closed yet, let's go listen to the music! β
The next day, Zhang Li slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and he was too tired a few days ago.
Kang Xing'an and Gao Yuanliang got up early, Gao Yuanliang took Anzi to boxing and exercising in the yard, and by the way, he also waited for the young master to wake up.
Seeing that Zhang Zhang got up, Kang Gao and the others stopped, and the three of them packed up and went out.
Lantern Street was deserted, and there was not a single person in sight.
It wasn't until I turned out of the alley and walked on Gulou Street that the street gradually gained some popularity.
Zhang Zhang took Kang Xingan and Gao Yuanliang to the front of Mingyue Tower, only to see that the door of the restaurant was closed, obviously not open.
Zhang Li asked the neighbor next door, and the neighbor said that Yuelou had been closed for three days. One is that the business is deserted, and the other is that the shopkeeper Xu is also afraid that a patient will enter the store, after all, those who open the door to do business are mixed.
Although Zhang Zhang and the other three felt a little disappointed, they didn't have much hope before, so they had to go to the butcher shop to buy some pork and go back.
Many shops on the street are closed, and only grain stores, grocery stores, and pork shops are still open, after all, no matter how fast the plague is, people always have to eat and drink.
The previous tension allowed Kang Xing'an to store a lot of food, enough for the three of them to eat for a long time.
Now when passing by the grain store, Anzi looks at the price written on the sign, which has more than doubled compared to a few days ago!
An Zi smacked his tongue and said, "Young Master, you are really a god!" The price of this grain is swishing upward, but fortunately, we have a lot of food while the plague has not spread in the city! β
Zhang Zhang smiled: "I have food in my hand, don't panic in my heart!" This is a true saying! β
Suddenly, Zhang Zhang saw a lot of people gathered in front of a shop not far in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of shop it was, so many people came to buy goods during the plague?
"Young Master, why are there so many people in front of the Lingzhi Hall?"
"Lingzhi Hall? I seem to be a little impressed......"
"Yes, the shop under the name of Hengxing Bank, the largest commercial bank in the county!"
"Hmm......"
The three of them had nothing to do, so they walked forward quickly, wanting to see the excitement.
Of course, Lingzhi Hall does not only sell Ganoderma lucidum, but when you hear it, you will know that it is a medicinal herb shop.
"Enough ginseng! Don't squeeze everyone! The shopkeeper of Lingzhi Hall shouted loudly, but everyone didn't listen at all, and squeezed into the shop more and more.
"Shopkeeper, why do you have a price for ginseng a day?"
"Yes, yesterday it was still one tael of silver and one penny of ginseng, why does one penny of ginseng cost one tael of seven coins of silver today?"
"Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it for the lord and get out, a large group of people in Lao Tzu's family are waiting to drink the white tiger ginseng soup! All the medicinal materials have been bought, and this flavor of ginseng is missing! β
β¦β¦
Zhang Lizhi frowned when he heard this.
When I looked closely, I found that this Lingzhi Hall cut the whole ginseng into small pieces for one penny, and sold them to the people.
This is a good way, and I am afraid that the people will not be able to afford the whole ginseng. If it is sold in bulk in such a dispersed package, it is indeed much more convenient.
Kang Xing'an was originally a country boy, and he also had a herd mentality, so he asked Zhang Li in a low voice: "Young master, don't we need to buy some ginseng?" β
Gao Yuanliang looked unhappy, and reprimanded: "You are stupid, the young master has such excellent medical skills, if we needed ginseng, we would have been put up a long time ago!" Still waiting for the price to increase now to buy? β
Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, and said to Gao Yuanliang playfully: "The son can be taught!" β
Zhang Zhang sighed and said, "Although this White Tiger Ginseng Soup has some effect on the plague, if it is said to be effective, it is not as good as the banlan root in our yard!" You drink it every day, and as long as you don't come into close contact with the sick, you won't get sick. β
Zhang Zhang was wondering if he could find a way to promote this banlan root with Master Yiqing - it was good and cheap, and the medicinal effect was high, but what could he say in his eagerness?
"Grab people! Robbing people-" A terrible scream came into Zhang Li's ears, and Zhang Zhang was suddenly startled!
Zhang Zhang immediately turned his head and followed the sound to look!
I saw that outside the Lingzhi Hall, a young man in brocade clothes was competing with a man with five big and three thick men for a package!
How dare anyone rob in broad daylight in front of so many people?!
The crowd that was still squeezing me and me squeezing you to buy ginseng just now was obviously stunned by this scene, and everyone opened their mouths wide one by one!
Zhang Li suddenly felt that the young man in brocade seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhereβbut where had he seen it?
That is, in the blink of an eye, the man who grabbed the package flew up and kicked the brocade boy several feet away, and the brocade boy fell heavily to the ground!
Seeing that the murderous man had run away, Zhang Zhang shouted: "Yuanliang, hurry!" Get him! β
Gao Yuanliang responded with an arrow step and chased forward closely!
Zhang Zhang hurriedly ran to the brocade-clothed young man who fell to the ground, and when he came to take a closer look, he realized that he was really an acquaintance!
To be precise, I have met once.
But the young man in brocade doesn't know Zhang Li, and Zhang Zhang doesn't know him either!
This young man was the one who was in the Mingyue Tower that day, disdainful of those scholars, and called them "superficial"!
Although Zhang Zhang only saw the young man in brocade, that day was the first time Zhang Li heard about the test questions of the imperial examination, so he was more impressed. The young man's actions at that time also left an impression on Zhang Li.
I saw a footprint on the right chest of the young man in brocade, and blood oozed from his shirt. The boy bit his lip in pain, but his body couldn't move at all!
Zhang Zhang immediately had an ominous premonition, and he reached out to see if the boy had any fractures!
If the broken rib pierced the liver or spleen or even the heart, the boy would surely die!
Suddenly, the tension shook violently, and his hand was retracted with a "whoosh", as if he had touched a poisonous snake!
Yes! Actually...... That one...... What did you touch that!!
The young man in brocade was so anxious that tears fell out, even if it was so painful just now, she didn't cry, but the tension was ......
Zhang Zhang was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said softly: "It's abrupt in Xia, the situation is urgent, and in Xia Langzhong, just to save people!" Please also ask the little lady to forgive one or two......"
It turned out that the young man in brocade turned out to be a woman!
It's good that Zhang Li didn't speak, and the girl in brocade clothes burst into tears when she spoke.
The girl's face was even more pale, and her brows were deeply locked. The sharp pain and tension of the body, this unintentional touch, is obviously beyond the limit of the girl's endurance!
As soon as her eyes were closed, the girl fainted!
The tension was in a hurry, but now it didn't matter so much, so he carefully examined the girl's breasts.
When Zhang Zhang found that the girl did not have obvious fractures, he was slightly relieved.
"Ahh Caught someone guilty! Someone in the crowd shouted in a rough voice, causing Zhang Li to raise his head.
I saw Gao Yuanliang dragging the man who grabbed the package and hurt people just now, and walked over slowly.
The man was obviously lame in one leg, and he didn't know if he had broken his foot or was made by Gao Yuanliang......
"Ahh Wang Xiancheng is here! I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and everyone ducked.
