Chapter 130: Loess Town
Han Shaoyuan wanted to report the situation to the above, so he didn't follow, and he also wanted to find the miracle doctor in Zhu's house while Zhu Yuanyuan was not at home.
When they arrived at Loess Town, the army was strictly guarded outside the town and surrounded by water.
The escorted soldiers and the defending soldiers were all from Huichuan City, and they reported each other's names and official positions, and Zhu Yuanyuan and his party entered the city smoothly.
White flags were hung everywhere in the town, paper money was everywhere on the road, incense and candles were burned everywhere, and from time to time there were bursts of crying from the house, calling for dead relatives.
The people passing by were dressed in linen and filial piety, full of sorrow and grief, Zhu Yuanyuan could not see a trace of anger in the eyes of these people, and there was a dead air floating in the entire Loess Town, heavy and depressing, mournful and desperate.
Zhu Yuanyuan had never seen this kind of atmosphere, and her mood felt very heavy, and this kind of sadness that was so thick that she couldn't dissolve stimulated her, making her sad and uncomfortable.
When Li Zheng saw Zhu Yuanyuan and his party, it was like seeing a savior, and he was very excited.
"You're finally here, save us, too many people have died..., woo~woo~." Rizheng couldn't help but cry.
Zhu Yuanyuan comforted softly: "Uncle, we brought medicine, everyone is saved, and this matter will soon pass." ”
"Quickly wipe your tears and snot, and when you are old, you are not afraid of rudeness." Dr. Du quipped, in fact, his eyes were also moist.
Li Zheng took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped it on his face a few times, but while wiping, tears flowed at the same time, and he couldn't wipe it dry.
The old man in his fifties and sixties was forced to cry bitterly, looking both funny and sad.
"Take us where the patient is." Dr. Du did not procrastinate, and immediately put into work.
Dr. Du went to dispense medicine to the patient, while Zhu Yuanyuan went to find the water source in Loess Town.
It was the Loess Town that burst its embankment in the first place, and the floating corpses were not dealt with in time, which caused the plague, so the polluted water source must also be purified.
There is a sunken section of the river in Loess Town, where the water flow is not smooth, and it is here that many corpses have gathered in the first place, polluting the water source.
The water here is filthy, smelly, and disgusting.
Zhu Yuanyuan opened a bottle of medicine, poured it into her hand, threw it into the river vigorously, and sprinkled two bottles.
The soldiers who were traveling with him felt pain when they looked at it, "Boss Zhu, do you have to sprinkle so much medicine?" Can't you replace it with lime or something? Wouldn't it be better to save more people with this medicine? ”
Zhu Yuanyuan said seriously: "I still have the medicine, I will buy it again when I run out, if I want to do it, I must do my best, I can't leave a little chance for the virus, sometimes a little inconspicuous hidden danger can cause a catastrophe in minutes." ”
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an anthill, which is not an empty word, but there are not many people who can pay attention to small problems.
Not only in the river, but also in the town's public well, a small half bottle was sprinkled.
There are many patients in Loess Town, so Zhu Yuanyuan and her sisters stayed in the town for one night, and the next day, they will continue to distribute decoction to other people in the town who have not been infected to prevent infection.
The officials had already beaten gongs and drums and informed the people of the town that the decoction against the plague would be distributed free of charge today, and everyone would bring their own bowls to receive the medicine.
Early in the morning, some people came to line up with bowls to receive the medicine, and basically drank it immediately after receiving the medicine, and some wanted to take an extra bowl home, but Zhu Yuanyuan refused.
"This is medicine, not food, each person can only drink a bowl, drinking too much is not good for the body, if there is inconvenient movement at home, register with the yacha, when the time comes, trouble the big brother yacha to run a trip and send the medicine over."
After all, it is a drug from another world, and what are the consequences of drinking too much, Zhu Yuanyuan doesn't know, of course she doesn't want to take this risk.
Someone asked suspiciously: "Just drink a bowl, and the pee will be gone, can you take care of it?" ”
"If you are sick, you only drink one bowl, you are not sick, why can't you drink one bowl?" Dr. Du smiled and said gently: "If there are patients in the family who have been isolated, maybe the family will be reunited today." ”
"Really?"
"It sounds fake."
"It's not a liar!"
While maintaining order and protecting Zhu Yuanyuan, the team leader Wang Ping couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey, what are you talking about?" We were sent by the government, can we be liars? Yes? Besides, what did we lie to you? This medicine is all free, I don't want you to have a copper plate, and you have to talk through your brain. ”
Another soldier shouted: "If you want to drink the medicine to prevent the plague, take the bowl and line up, and if you don't drink it, go home, don't make trouble." ”
The majesty of the soldiers is not in vain, wearing armor, majesticly going to that station, the common people have to be intimidated, not to mention that they also opened their mouths to shout, and the few people who spoke disrespectfully shrank back.
"Shall we still drink?"
"Silly, of course I drank it if it didn't cost money."
"It's useless or not, let's talk about it after drinking."
"It's free, don't drink it for nothing."
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the distribution of decoction was basically completed, and the recovered patients began to go home one after another.
Seeing the plague-infected family members and healthy reappearing in front of them, the loess town resounded with cries, this time with joy and tears.
The population of Loess Town is just over 10,000, and almost 1,000 people died, most of them women, elderly people and children.
Living by the river, many people know how to water, but this time the embankment burst was too sudden, and I was caught off guard, and I didn't have time to rescue at all, so it was washed away by the flood.
In addition, after the outbreak of the plague, more than 1,000 people died, and after the flood, because of the destruction of the family, many people went to join their relatives, and now there are only more than 6,000 people left in Loess Town.
At dinner, in the courtyard where Zhu Yuanyuan stayed, people kept knocking on the door, delivering vegetables, eggs, corn tortillas, and steamed buns.
They are all here to thank Zhu Yuanyuan for saving her life, she has just experienced a flood, and there is no food left at home, these are all relatives in the vicinity, sent after the disaster, and if you don't have it, you will kowtow to Zhu Yuanyuan.
Zhu Yuanyuan encountered this situation for the first time, she was in a hurry, she didn't know what to do, looking at these thank-you gifts that were nothing, she was moved.
It turned out that she had helped people and felt like this, her heart was full and hot, and she suddenly felt that she was a god on top, and her eyes were full of pity when she looked at them.
It seems that her heart is suddenly full of love, and there is an urge to give unconditionally for these people, and this feeling makes her dazed.
When she left Loess Town, the people who came to deliver her were black and oppressive, and she couldn't see her head.
Because she still has to go to Shijia Village and Dashi Village, the gifts of the villagers, she is inconvenient to take them, so she will not accept them.
The soldiers guarding Shijia Village had already received the letter and knew that Zhu Yuanyuan and his party would come over with medicine to cure the plague, and as soon as they saw them, they greeted them very warmly.
Shijia Village is very lively, and when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I heard the sound of scolding.
Wang Ping asked suspiciously, "What are those people arguing about?" ”
A soldier said: "Hey, it's not the plague, it's said that whose daughter-in-law took the rice and grain back to her mother's house in Loess Town, whose daughter-in-law married to Loess Town went back to her mother's house, and who went out to bring the plague back and infected other people, just complain to each other here." ”
Another soldier took over and said, "It's just a quarrel now, a few days ago, I fought every day, and I almost killed people." ”
Zhu Yuanyuan remembered that the eggs, vegetables, and buns in Loess Town suddenly burst the embankment, and how could the food be moved away in time, so those foods were either relief from the government or gifts from relatives.
