Chapter 217: The Roots
However, Gu Li didn't listen to the dissuasion: "It's okay, I know how to measure." β
When she said this, she ran out, no matter how much the shopkeeper called her, she didn't look back.
Gu Li is now anxious to know the real situation on the other side of Nanmen Lane, if she doesn't go to see it with her own eyes, how can she know?
The disease is dangerous, but someone has to take the risk. In her previous life, she was also a person who had experienced epidemic prevention and disaster relief, and she had some experience in this area.
The disease mainly affects the human digestive system, which means that as long as contaminated things are not allowed to enter the mouth, the possibility of infection is very small.
This is also where Gu Li was puzzled, when she saw the victims eating drowned animals, she immediately dissuaded them, and asked the official to come forward to clean up. If there was a disease, it would have happened in a few days. But why did it take so long for the disease to start developing?
Could it be that when the victims returned home, they ate those things again?
Gu Li really wanted to go to Nanmen Lane to have a look, and wanted to understand the reason.
The news of the epidemic has not yet spread, and except for a few doctors in the medical hall, no one in Changning City knows about it. At this moment, the street is still a lively and prosperous scene.
Gu Li was wearing an isolation gown, a mask and gloves, and she was particularly eye-catching when she walked in the crowd, and the eyes of passers-by were on her.
Gu Li didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at all, and walked in a hurry and went straight to Nanmen Lane.
Recently, the weather has been fine and the sun is abundant, and there is no trace of the flood over there. The house that was washed away has now been renovated.
She walked the alley, listening and observing, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
After walking a little further, she suddenly stopped in front of a house, went up and knocked on the door.
"It's coming, it's coming." A young woman answered the door, and it was a young woman who came out to open it.
When she saw Gu Li in full armor at first glance, she couldn't help but be startled.
"It's me." Gu Li took off her mask.
The woman recognized her, and immediately became nervous, and asked; "Doctor Gu, is something wrong with me in charge?"
"No, he's doing well right now." Gu Li immediately replied to dispel her concerns.
Last night, a patient surnamed Zhang came to the hall in the spring return, and it was this woman who accompanied him. Therefore, she recognized Gu Li.
Because the patient needed to be isolated, last night, after the patient was admitted, Gu Li let her go home.
"Then Doctor Gu, you're hereβ" The woman looked at her suspiciously.
Gu Li smiled and asked again, "Sister-in-law Zhang, can I go in and have a look?" β
"Come in, Doctor Gu, please come in." Sister-in-law Zhang immediately moved out of the way.
Gu Li entered the door and looked around in the small courtyard and the house.
She had already learned about the patient's condition last night, but no matter how much she knew, it was better to see it with her own eyes.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, Brother Zhang, he got sick yesterday." Gu Li said to her.
Sister-in-law Zhang nodded, but then frowned again.
"More precisely, there are already some signs."
Hearing her words, Gu Li immediately became vigilant.
"What?" Gu Li turned to her and looked directly at her.
"He was a little uncomfortable the day before yesterday, but it doesn't matter, he carried it for more than a day, and in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to Chunhuitang." Sister-in-law Zhang replied.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Gu Li's tone was impatient.
"I, I think, there was nothing wrong with me at that time, so I didn't say anything." Sister-in-law Zhang was hesitant, and when she saw her like this, she also became nervous, "Then I am in charge, but there is still salvation?" β
Gu Li stabilized her emotions, smiled at her, and replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best." β
The only thing she can make now is such a promise.
The cause of this epidemic is unknown, the consequences are unknown, and no one knows what will happen next.
But in order to take care of the emotions of patients and families, she certainly won't say these words.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, if you recall carefully, did Brother Zhang eat anything bad before he became ill?"
"Nope." Sister-in-law Zhang replied while reminiscing.
"Have you ever eaten anything you haven't eaten?" Gu Li asked again.
This husband and wife live under the same roof, eat and live together every day, and if they want to get sick, it stands to reason that they will get sick at the same time. If only one is sick and the other is safe, that's a bit of a problem.
Sister-in-law Zhang said again: "A while ago, I didn't eat with him. β
She saw Gu Li staring at her in surprise, so she explained: "If there was a lot of water before, some old houses were soaked in the water. After we came home from the shed, my man was called by Zhao Er to help repair the roof. Don't give money, just food. So for those two days, my man ate at his house. β
Gu Li nodded, and then asked, "Then Zhao Er's family, can anyone have the same disease?" β
"Then I don't know, after the roof was repaired, neither my man nor I ever went to his house again."
"Can you take me to see it?" Gu Li asked.
She felt that she had discovered the cause of the patient surnamed Zhang.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Sister-in-law Zhang replied.
As she said this, she took Gu Li out of the gate and walked deeper into the alley.
"Here, this is it." Sister-in-law Zhang stood at the door and shouted inside, "Is anyone at home?" β
The people inside heard the voice and walked out.
It was a woman who came out, she knew Sister-in-law Zhang, but she didn't know Gu Li.
Sister-in-law Zhang pointed at Gu Li and said to her: "This is Doctor Gu from the Spring Returning Hall, Doctor Gu has a good heart, come to see a doctor for everyone, and don't need money." β
The woman laughed and praised Gu Li.
"Does anyone in my family need to see a doctor?" Gu Li asked with a kind smile on his face.
The woman shook her head: "No, everyone in the family is fine." β
In this way, Gu Li didn't want to rush in again, so she smiled at her and left with Sister-in-law Zhang.
She hadn't asked anything, seen nothing, and couldn't determine the cause, but she was keenly aware that something was wrong.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, did you smell it just now, there seems to be any smell in Zhao Er's house?" Gu Li asked.
Sister-in-law Zhang shook her head: "No, I didn't smell anything." β
Gu Li frowned, surprised, could it be that she smelled it wrong?
After taking a few steps forward, Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly sighed: "Doctor Gu may have smelled the wrong thing, that smell should not have come from Zhao Er's house." β
Gu Li suddenly stopped and looked at her suspiciously.
Didn't it come from Zhao Er's family? Where is that? Does she know??
Sister-in-law Zhang sighed again, and then said, "This is also something that can't be helped." β
