Chapter 321: Contagious Diseases
Gu Jiu just fell asleep, and he was having breakfast at this time.
Seeing the anxious look on the officer's face, he suddenly didn't have the heart to eat breakfast, put the porridge bowl in his hand on the table, asked someone to get up and said, "Hurry up, say something slowly, don't worry." β
Her attitude was unhurried, but it calmed down the mind of the servant a little, Mrs. Zhao on the side saw this and handed him tea, and the servant took it and thanked him, and then replied: "Mrs. Hui, those victims of the disaster have a strange disease, and they have asked a few doctors to see that they have not improved, and they don't know what is going on. β
Originally, this matter should not have been asked to Gu Jiu, but those who could take care of things in the county government went to the mouth of the river embankment. Now there is a subordinate in the yamen, and it is okay to record some ordinary cases, and that person does not dare to take care of such a big matter.
Now someone has gone to the mouth of the river embankment to inform Bai Wuyuan and them, but due to the long distance, this time and again will delay another morning, but those victims can't wait.
They are in dire need of reassurance right now, and the doctors need reassurance.
In desperation, I remembered that this lady of Dali Siqing came, although she was a lady of the house, but a noble person from Beijing, she probably had an idea, right?
Hearing his words, Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, and said with a solemn expression: "What strange disease?" You can tell me more about it. β
Hearing this, the official shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific subordinates, or I will call the little doctor, and you can ask him?" β
Who knew that as soon as he said this, he heard Mrs. Zhao frowning and said: "How can this be done, what if the disease is passable?" β
She had experienced famine in her early years and knew that some diseases were contagious. This is a nobleman, so naturally he can't take risks at will.
Gu Jiu didn't care about this, she twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and said, "It's okay, you just go and call people in." β
But just in case, after she ordered someone to go, she went to the inner room, took out a copy of the medicine in the medicine box, took a poison avoidance pill herself, and gave the porcelain bottle to Mrs. Zhao, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, you can eat one too." β
Mrs. Zhao was a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "This can't be helped, this is a precious medicine, how can the old woman take it." β
She just didn't know what it was, just looking at such a good bottle, she knew that it was worth a lot.
Gu Jiu didn't wait for her to refute, he poured a pill for her, smiled and let her eat it, and when he saw the two of them come in, he handed them another one.
The one who came to report was a little medicine boy, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his expression was nervous.
"Greetings to Madame."
Gu Jiu responded and asked with a gentle expression, "Tell me, what's going on in the pharmacy now?" β
The little medicine boy only heard a voice like a pearl and jade, and subconsciously looked up at Gu Jiu, but he thought in a trance that he had seen the fairy concubine.
He blushed a little, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, "Return, return to Mrs., here's the thingββ"
Some of the victims who were brought back from the mine were in good health and went directly to the river embankment to help build the embankment.
And some of those who had been abused for a long time were really powerless, so they were all placed in the pharmacy in the city by Bai Wuyuan.
They are all poor people, these disasters have made their situation worse, and now they have become such a pitiful appearance, and the doctors are also unbearable, so since they were sent, they have tried their best to see a doctor.
On the night that the victims arrived, some people did not survive and ran out of oil and died.
On the night he went, a doctor found that he had a wound like a plum blossom mark on his body, but it was swollen and swollen on the skin, and pus was oozing from the wound.
At first, they just thought it was an old wound that had been beaten, after all, the overseers in the mine were some ruffians who would dare to use any cruel means.
But who knows, within two days, it was found that there were such wounds on the body of the living.
The man's high fever did not go away, but he felt like he was in an ice cellar, and under the double blow, his mind was a little blurred.
The doctors became suspicious, and after asking, they learned that although the overseers often lynched, they had never used such strange torture instruments.
And that person, when he was occasionally conscious, told the doctor that the mark on his body had begun to have it some time ago.
At first, it didn't hurt or itch, and I thought it was allergies or something else, but later, it spread to several places on the skin, until now, it suddenly worsened.
None of the doctors had ever seen such symptoms, and they were a little flustered for a while, but they thought that maybe there were some unknown insects in the mine, so they all planned to diagnose and treat the bite of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
However, after a few bowls of medicine were poured down, the man ...... Didn't survive the night.
His death made the doctors completely panicked, and after investigating the victims, they found an even more terrifying thing.
Nine times out of ten, these victims bear this mark.
The scariest thing is......
Even the doctor's body has a shallow trace, which is suspected to be a plum blossom trace!
At this point, the entire pharmacy was panicked, along with the doctors.
Two people died because of this, which shows that this disease is hopeless.
And the doctors have all given birth, which shows that it is contagious.
They knew that this matter was too big, and they knew that they couldn't solve it, so they directly asked people to come to the people in the yamen.
Even if those don't know medical skills, at least they are court officials, and they always have a way to do it than their own people!
It's a pity that it was unfortunate when they came, at this time, Bai Wuyuan and the others either went to the city to distribute disaster relief materials, or went to the embankment outside the city, and for a while, only Gu Jiu was left in charge.
After listening to the little medicine boy's words, Gu Jiu understood what was going on.
And Mrs. Zhao and the official couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, and there was a bit of panic in their expressions: "Madam, if this disease is going to be too good......
Then they've all been in contact, will there be something wrong?
It's okay for them, but Gu Jiu is a nobleman, if he really gets infected because of this, how can he explain to that Dali Siqing?
Seeing them like this, Gu Jiu shook his head and said comfortingly: "It's okay, that antidote pill can cure all kinds of poisons, and it will be fine." β
After she said this, she thought about it again and said, "What is the situation in the pharmacy now, how many people have been found to have symptoms, and have any measures been taken?" β
Hearing Gu Jiu's inquiry, the little medicine boy thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Hui, now the doctors in the shop are in charge, and the medicine shop has been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being. When I came, they were investigating, and there were about seventy or eighty people. β
This may not sound like a big number, but if the disease is a good one, then the number of people who have come into contact with them is a big number.
Gu Jiu's expression was a little solemn, he thought for a while, and said, "I'll go with you to take a look." β
There are still more than two hours before noon, and if those people are allowed to stay in the pharmacy, without the backbone, I am afraid that it will become more and more chaotic.
The people there say a lot, say a lot less, a little bit of a hundred and ten people, it's really a mess, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Besides, she has studied medicine for so long with Zhuangzi, and it is probably because of her talent, and she is almost a little clear about these remote diseases.
Just sit here and wait, it's better to go to the scene and have a look, maybe you can find a solution.
Hearing that Gu Jiu wanted to go over, Mrs. Zhao panicked first, and said with a worried expression: "Madam, you are a female dependent, is it not appropriate to go over like this?" It's better to wait for Lord Bai and them to come back before making a decision. β
Not to mention that it is a man's nest, just to say that it is all sick numbers, what if it is infected with Gu Jiu?
These days of getting along made Mrs. Zhao like this gentle and gentle Mrs. Dali Siqing very much, and naturally she didn't want him to have an accident.
The official on the side also meant this, he came to Gu Jiu before, and he really wanted her to have an idea.
But this does not include it, let her go to the pharmacy in person!
If something happens to her, how many lives do she have enough to pay?
