Chapter 36: The Epidemic Strikes Suddenly

The rain continued day and night until the morning of the seventh day, when it cleared.

The weather was fine, and she could finally go out without an umbrella, and Gu Li's mood became a lot brighter. She arrived at Xiancaotang early in the morning, still went to see Zhang Quan's recovery after surgery first, and then went to the front hall and began to see the patient.

In the past few days, it has been raining constantly, and there are many people who have suffered from wind and cold, and she has been famous in the past few days, so all the people who see the doctor have flocked to the fairy grass hall. Gu Li was busy every day, and she didn't even have a break to rest.

Two days later, Zhang Quan could leave the Fairy Grass Hall and go home.

He recovered well after the operation, and the incision has healed, as long as the care is proper, he can go home to recuperate.

"When you go home, you must pay attention, do not be tired, do not eat enough, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound." Gu Li instructed again.

Zhang Quan and Ma Shi both nodded in agreement, convinced of her.

"In this way, I will go to your house every afternoon from now on to check." Gu Li thought about it and said again.

It was best for him to continue to recuperate, and it was not convenient to go back and forth to the Immortal Grass Hall, so Gu Li felt that it was better for her to take the time to go over and have a look.

Zhang Quan and his wife thanked her a thousand times, settled the consultation fees and medicine fees for the past few days, and then left the fairy grass hall and went home.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Li went to his house.

The city was so small that it didn't take long to walk from the south to the north, so she didn't have to take a car, she just walked over. It's just that while walking on the road, she felt that something was not quite right, as if there were suddenly more beggars in the city.

Time was pressing, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly went to Zhang's house, checked it for him, and hurriedly returned to Xiancaotang.

After seeing the last patient, it was already a little dark.

Gu Li asked Doctor Qin while packing up her pen and paper, "When I went out at noon, I saw that there were suddenly many more beggars in the city, what is going on?" ”

Doctor Qin didn't answer first, but shook his head and sighed first: "A few days ago, the heavy rain broke down the river embankments in several nearby counties, and the water overflowed, flooding the fields, flooding the houses, and drowning many people. Fortunately, Master Li of our county had the foresight to strengthen the river embankment before the heavy rain, so we escaped this catastrophe. Victims from other places had nowhere to go, so they flocked to us. ”

After listening to his explanation, Gu Li understood in his heart.

Her expression was solemn, and her eyebrows were furrowed: "If it is hot today, the flood will spread, and the victims will flow, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Doctor Qin understood what she was worried about, and said, "I have prepared the medicine to prevent the epidemic today. ”

Disasters are often followed by pandemics, not to mention that it is summer and the weather is hot, which is more conducive to the spread of epidemics.

Gu Li nodded, but her mood still couldn't relax.

The next day, when she went to Zhang's house again, she saw more victims on the road, all of them in ragged clothes, with sallow faces, begging along the street.

She looked uncomfortable, but she couldn't do anything on her own, so she could only hurry past and do what she was going to do.

On the way back to the Fairy Grass Hall, the corner of her clothes was suddenly pulled by someone.

Gu Li looked back and saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was holding her, her clothes were in tatters, and her head and face were dirty.

"Sister, okay, give me a stutter." Her black and white eyes stared straight at her, their eyes full of pleading, and her voice was weak and hungry.

Gu Li couldn't bear it and wanted to help her, but she didn't have any money with her.

She hesitated for a moment, then said to the little girl, "You come with me." ”

She took her to a stall selling steamed buns, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, I am the doctor of Xiancaotang, and I didn't bring any money when I came out in a hurry, can you give me two buns first, I will go back to Xiancaotang and get the money for you, you can go with me to get it." ”

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then pointed at her and said happily: "You are the divine doctor girl in the fairy grass hall, right?" ”

Gu Li smiled humbly: "Don't dare to be." ”

The stall owner immediately grabbed two buns and sent them to her: "Divine doctor, you just have to take it, don't want money." ”

"No, no, no", Gu Li waved her hand hurriedly, she couldn't take advantage of this.

Seeing that she refused to ask for it, the stall owner directly gave the bun to the little girl who followed her.

In this way, Gu Li had to say, "Thank you, boss, I'll send you the money in a while." ”

When she had finished speaking, she took the little girl with her.

The stall owner looked at her back and couldn't help but admire: "The divine doctor girl is not only good at medicine, but also has a bodhisattva heart." ”

He had already heard about the deeds of this miracle doctor girl, and he admired her in his heart. Besides, who hasn't had a sick time? Maybe he'll have to see this miracle doctor one day.

Gu Li asked the little girl a few more words, and then parted with her.

Back in Xiancaotang, there were many patients, and she couldn't get out, so she asked Qingqing to help her give the money to the steamed bun stall owner.

In the evening of the same day, the first plague patient was admitted to Renji Hall, which was not far from Xiancaotang. After that, the epidemic spread rapidly, and by noon the next day, several cases were also admitted to Xiancaotang.

The patients all had high fever and the symptoms were similar to those of wind and cold, but ordinary drugs for wind and cold had no effect on them at all. The patient has a high fever and is dehydrated, most of them can be five or six days, and they will die in one or two days.

For a while, the people in the city were panicked.

In the Immortal Grass Hall, Gu Li and Doctor Qin were also nervous. In the past few days, many patients have been sent in, and many have died.

Gu Li sprinkled all corners of the Immortal Grass Hall with disinfectants and sterilization drugs every day, and made gloves and masks to protect herself tightly.

As a healer, she can only save more people if she protects herself first.

In her home, disinfectant was also sprinkled everywhere.

The smell of disinfectant was a little pungent, Zhang Xuechu smelled this pungent smell, frowned, and sat down opposite Yan Qing.

Yan Qing looked gentle, with a faint smile on his face, took a cup and poured tea for him.

"Master Li has been happy for two days, and now he is sad again." Zhang Xuechu said.

After the heavy rains, floods occurred in several neighboring counties, but they did not have them here. The county commander Li Lin was overjoyed and was very grateful for his previous move to strengthen the river embankment. Unexpectedly, less than two days later, a plague suddenly broke out in the city.

"Childe, what can you do about the current situation?" Zhang Xuechu also frowned, looked at him and asked.

Yan Qing took a sip of the tea in the cup and gently put the cup down.

"There are two ways, one is to protect yourself and wait for this plague to pass."

Zhang Xuechu nodded, since it is an epidemic, there will always be a past day.

"What about the second method?" He couldn't wait to ask.

Yan Qing smiled slightly: "Kill all the sick people." ”
