Chapter 125: The Epidemic
As time passed, more and more people were affected, and those who had relatives in the neighborhood went to join their relatives, and those who did not live on the streets.
Within a few days, what Zhu Yuanyuan was worried about happened.
First of all, in Loess Town, there were people with fever and cough, and soon there were more and more people with fever, and when the governor of Loess Town found out, more than a dozen had died.
He hurriedly informed the county government where he was located, but it was too late, Yuhua County also had the same symptoms, after checking, it was a plague, Shijia Village near Loess Town, Dashi Village also had a plague, even in Pingyuan County on the opposite bank, Baiyang Village outside Pingyuan County was not spared.
Because the loess town burst its embankment, a large number of corpses soaked in the water for several days and were not treated in time, becoming a hotbed of bacteria and polluting the water source.
The victims were infected with the virus and unknowingly went to the neighborhood to join their relatives, and as a result, the plague spread.
The nearby county town was notified by Pingyuan County and immediately blocked the city gate to comprehensively check whether there were people from Loess Town.
Just after the flood in Pingyuan County, the vitality was greatly damaged, and now there is a plague again, and Jiang County is anxious and difficult to sleep.
Don't say that the head of a county is troubled, ordinary people are even more panicked, and even the gold shopkeeper is worried, so he came to ask Zhu Yuanyuan.
"Owner, there is a plague epidemic now, so many customers come in and out of our store every day, as soon as I hear the cough, I am afraid, if there is really a plague, not only will we be infected, but other customers will also be infected, you see, should we close down?"
Zhu Yuanyuan was also worried about this matter, listened to the words of the shopkeeper Jin, and shook her head, "It's useless to close down now, I don't know when this epidemic started, the virus has an incubation period, and it can't be seen in the early stage of infection, we have been open for a few days, maybe we have been infected for a long time." ”
"Uh, what then?" The golden shopkeeper panicked, if he was really infected, he would die, and the only thing that comforted him was that his family Huyang Town was far away from this and would not affect it for the time being.
"We are in the epidemic area, and if we want to stay out of the situation, I am afraid it is impossible to be alone, I will think of a way."
What can Zhu Yuanyuan do, of course, is to ask for help from the system store.
At present, it has been determined that there is a plague spreading in one county, one town, and three villages, and the medical conditions here are not high, and it is likely that many people will die, even if they can keep themselves and the Zhu family's descendants okay, how can they remain calm in their hearts.
Since you have the ability to solve it, why not spend a little effort and a little kindness to save countless lives.
Zhu Yuanyuan contacted the owner of the pharmacy, but it was too vague to say that there was a plague, and the owner of the medicine Yan Bufan store didn't know what medicine to take, so he asked her to collect blood samples from patients.
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't dare to procrastinate, and immediately went into the city to find Dr. Du.
"Miss, there have been a lot of victims in the city recently, you have to be careful, Begonia, Xu Tong, you have to protect Miss, you know?"
Chen's mother knew that Zhu Yuanyuan was going to enter the city, so she nagged, "What's so important, you have to go in person, it's very chaotic outside." ”
"Mother Chen, I'm going to see how the plague is going, to see if I can get useful medicine, if I can't control the situation in time, I'm afraid a lot of people will die, don't worry, we'll be back soon." Zhu Yuanyuan said comfortingly.
Chen's mother was stunned for a moment before she said, "That's it..., you go, be careful." ”
Chen's mother is very old, can she not know the severity of the plague, now that the water and land routes are blocked everywhere, infection is a matter of time.
There is a cure for it, it seems to be a wild talk, but she also hopes that Zhu Yuanyuan can find a cure, no matter how slim this hope is.
The city gate was not closed, but a fence was placed to block the road, Zhu Yuanyuan was also a celebrity in Pingyuan County, her tongue was not chewed in vain, and the official Wei Ming also recognized her, and kindly reminded her.
"Boss Zhu, there is a plague now, it's better to stay at home if there's nothing to do."
Xu Tong, who was in a hurry, answered, "My young lady wants to find Dr. Du to see if she can find a treatment." ”
"Oh, that's a good dare." Wei Ming patted his thigh and said enthusiastically: "Let me tell you, Doctor Du and they have gone to Yuanbao Mountain, and the infected people have been sent over there, and most of the doctors in the city are over there, or I'll send Boss Zhu over?" ”
Haitang saw Zhu Yuanyuan nodding, and then opened the curtain and said, "Okay, then it's troublesome big brother." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Wei Ming hurriedly explained a few words to the other officials, then got into Zhu Yuanyuan's carriage and sat next to Xu Tong.
The officials removed the fence to allow the carriage to pass, the city was quiet, only a few people walked, and the officials patrolled intensively, and when they saw someone coughing, they stepped forward to arrest them, causing fierce resistance.
The carriage did not stop, and rushed all the way to Yuanbao Mountain, and on the way, he also encountered the arrest of the patient.
Wei Ming shouted: "He catches the head, what's wrong?" Can I help you? ”
He Chao turned his head, "Wei Ming?" You don't guard the city gates, where are you going? Who was in the carriage? ”
"It's Boss Zhu from the grocery store outside the city, and she wants to find Dr. Du to discuss whether there is a treatment plan."
"Just her? . He Chao didn't believe it, in his opinion, Zhu Yuanyuan relied on the Han family to gain a foothold in this place.
A while ago, the Han family was rewarded by His Majesty, the Han family is so deeply hidden, the small number of high-quality goods sold in the Zhu family's grocery store must be from the Han family, and Zhu Yuanyuan himself, how many of those rumors are true and how many are false, who really knows.
So, Zhu Yuanyuan is really a good doctor? Who has seen it? Can she figure out a cure for the plague?
He Chao roared impatiently: "The epidemic is not a place for you to make a reputation, don't mess around here, Wei Ming, take them back." ”
Xu Tongban's face rose, he knew that Zhu Yuanyuan was not a person who sold fame and reputation, she really wanted to solve this problem, but he didn't say anything, he waited for Zhu Yuanyuan to show up, but the patient who was escorted made a fuss.
"He Zhutou, I really just have a cold, it's not an epidemic, you just let me go."
"Yes, yes, I'm just on fire, and I coughed a few times with a sore throat and eyes."
"Don't make any noise, the doctors have seen it, you are infected with the epidemic, for the good of everyone, you don't make any more trouble, hurry up and go to Yuanbao Mountain, there is a doctor there, who will cure you, stay in the city, without a doctor, how can you treat the disease, isn't it?"
After listening to He Chao's words of comfort, everyone was depressed and sick, and they didn't go to the doctor for treatment, there was only a dead end.
"Can you still cure ......?"
A bunch of people were in a daze, some were crying, some were sighing, He Chao and the other two catchers were very sympathetic to them, but they were also very worried about themselves, they escorted the patient, and it was very likely that they would be infected.
"Let's go find Dr. Du." Zhu Yuanyuan in the carriage spoke, she was not interested in the noise here, the primary purpose was to find a cure for the epidemic.
The whip in Xu Tong's hand waved, and the carriage continued to run towards Yuanbao Mountain.
He Chao watched the carriage go away and shook his head.
