132. The disaster is severe
Fortunately, although Chen Xian's face was not good-looking, he was not too shocked, and he shook his head at Shen Wangxin and said, "I expected that the courtyard might collapse, but I didn't expect it to really collapse." However, fortunately, I received a few months' wages in the medical hall, and there is still money left in the money, so whether I build it myself or buy a yard in the village, I will still bother you in Sanhuai Hall for a few more days. ”
"This one is out of the way." Shen Wangxin immediately said.
The two of them then went to the courtyard of the medical hall to take a look, and moved some things that could be moved to the Sanhuai Hall.
As soon as Shen Wangxin returned to Sanhuai Hall, he saw Doctor Ma coming back. Some time ago, it was raining heavily, and there was not much business in the medical hall, so Shen Wangxin simply gave him a vacation and asked him to go home to rest for a while. When the rain stopped, Dr. Ma naturally had to come back from home.
As soon as he saw Shen Wangxin, he smiled and said, "Dongjia, I heard in the county seat that Xitou Village was flooded with five flavors of medicine, and I was so worried that I couldn't eat. Unexpectedly, the owner was so capable that he actually bought Sanhuai Hall. Looks like I'll be able to get along a few times! ”
After Dr. Ma came back, he talked to Shen Wangxin about the things in the county.
Although Xitou Village is good, after all, the news is not as fast as the county seat. According to the news brought back by Dr. Ma, the entire Yuqing County suffered from the flood. The situation in Xitou Village is not bad, it is located in the upper reaches of Wubu Creek, and only the fields and houses near the stream have been flooded. Several villages downstream were flooded, and entire villages were flooded.
Now the weather is finally clear, and the water level is gradually receding. According to those who came back from there, the land was full of people and livestock. The dead are just that, the living are even more homeless, and now the spring is cold, and many weak people are sick.
"How so?" Shen Wangxin's face was not good-looking.
If this is put in modern times, there is a weather forecast, and people in disaster-prone areas can be evacuated. However, after all, ancient science and technology are not as developed as modern ones, and the prediction of weather depends on the naked eye, and it is certainly not accurate to use instruments to observe, and then use computers to calculate.
In addition, the heavy rain for months has also caused a lot of trouble to the county government. I'm afraid, Lord Liu is already so busy at this time that he can't even take care of eating, right?
Doctor Ma nodded and said, "Isn't it?" Lord Liu is our parent official in Yuqing County, and when the rain was still falling, he went to several villages downstream to inspect. Who knew that a few days ago, the heavy rain suddenly fell, and even Lord Liu's carriage was almost buried in the mudslide, what could the other people do? ”
Shen Wangxin sighed, how small is manpower in front of nature?
Fortunately, the rain stopped falling, and it should all be sunny next. It's just that as soon as the weather is fine, the temperature will inevitably rise, and if the temperature rises, the entire Yuqing County will have to face some problems.
That was the most terrifying thing in ancient times - the plague.
"Plague!" When Doctor Ma heard Shen Wangxin's words, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair, "Boss, such a big thing, you, don't be joking!" ”
Shen Wangxin didn't speak, he sat in place and looked at Doctor Ma quietly, without a trace of a smile on his face.
She was not joking, since ancient times, after natural disasters, if not dealt with in time, it will inevitably lead to large-scale plagues. If the winter is good, the temperature is low, and the carcasses of people and animals are not easy to decay, leaving more time for the government to buffer.
But now in spring, as soon as the sun comes out, the weather is getting warmer day by day. If the carcass is not handled carelessly, the carcass will contaminate the water source, and even if the drowned livestock is picked up for consumption, it will inevitably be infected with infectious diseases. At that point, the situation will be difficult to control.
"Is it so terrible?" Chen Xian's face was not very good when he heard this.
Shen Wangxin instructed him: "Ah Xian, you go to the third grandfather's house to find him and Uncle Xuanzi, and ask them to go to each household in the two villages to tell them one by one." Let the villagers burn all dead livestock to ashes with fire, and they must not be boiled and eaten cheaply. Otherwise, I'm worried that it will lead to a catastrophe! ”
Chen Xian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out to find the two fathers and sons. Now the village Li Zheng and the Shen clan patriarch are in their third room, and there is no need to run at both ends to find someone, and the two fathers are both practical people, and the people in the village are very satisfied with them.
Seeing Shen Wangxin's appearance, Doctor Ma also became nervous in his heart, and asked, "Boss, according to what you say, the newly dead livestock can't be eaten?" Before I came, my mother brought me a chicken that had just died! ”
Shen Wangxin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What did the chicken die?" ”
"Fell into the river and drowned in the morning." Doctor Ma grimaced.
Shen Wangxin couldn't help but press his temples, press his temper, and said patiently: "You can't eat those who have been dead for a long time, and you can't eat those who have a plague, and there is no problem if you look healthy." The reason why I asked Ah Xian to say that was because I was afraid that some people would be lucky, and as a result, the disease would come from the mouth! ”
Doctor Ma was embarrassed, felt that his old face was a little hot, and said, "Dongjia, then I know." ”
"Hmm."
Shen Wangxin answered, turned his head to find agarwood and incense, and asked them not to go outside if they were okay during this time. Anyway, they live in Sanhuai Hall now, a large courtyard with three entrances, enough for two little guys to play.
The two little groups listened to Shen Wangxin's words very much, nodded and agreed, and stayed under Shen Wangxin's nose all afternoon and never left.
In the evening, Chen Xian returned.
It turned out that he not only told Li Zheng and Shen Xuan about the matter, but also followed the two of them and conveyed Shen Wangxin's words door to door. By the way, I went to see if any of the families in the village had started to get sick, but fortunately, few families in the village were flooded. Therefore, no infected villagers have been found for the time being.
"Every household went?" Shen Wangxin was a little uneasy.
There are several families in the village, such as the Shen family's big house and Aunt Lian's family, and they have a grudge with Shen Wangxin. Sanfang and Chen Xian are close to themselves, and it is very likely that they deliberately ignored these families, if it is because of these families, the infectious disease spreads in Xitou Village, it will be more than worth the loss.
"It's all gone." Chen first paused and nodded.
