9:10 a.m.

The winter sun is shining, and the snow from a few days ago is starting to melt.

On the suburban highway leading from Lianhai City to Qingcheng County, the on-site flow shunting vehicle of the city's disease control and control is driving on the road surface after the snow melts.

In the flow car, Gao Fei drove, Zhou Lao sat in the co-pilot seat, and Gu Yanan, Lu Li and Xiao Chu sat in the back seat.

Xiao Chu couldn't help but bring up the unfinished topic in the emergency office just now.

"Brother Lu Li, what happened to the plague epidemic in Qingcheng Mountain last time?"

Lu Li took a deep breath and began to talk about what had happened.

"If you want to talk about the plague epidemic last time, you have to start with the ancient tombs in the Wild Monkey Ridge in Qingcheng Mountain."

Xiao Chu's face changed, "Qingcheng Mountain Wild Monkey Ridge? The ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty that was just discovered last year? Something to do with the last plague outbreak? ”

Xiao Chu's surprised expression surprised Lu Li, "Don't be so surprised, the origin of each epidemic is varied, and the plague that started from the ancient tomb labeled the last epidemic as a mystery, which also made it occupy the headlines of gossip news for half a year." Now that the Internet is so developed, Xiao Chu should still be in school at the time, but he should also hear a little news. ”

"Well, I was a little impressed, but I didn't care about it at the time." Xiao Chu explained the surprise just now and continued to ask, "There are various versions on the Internet about the discovery of the plague and the ancient tomb, and I don't know which one is true." And then? How did it happen? Was it because the plague discovered the tombs, or because the tombs were discovered? ”

Lu Li: "Let's not talk about which one appeared first, I'll start with last winter."

At the beginning of winter last year, there were several heavy rains, and the southwest slope of the Wild Monkey Ridge in Qingcheng Mountain collapsed.

Lao Zhang, a surveyor of Qingcheng County Tourism Development Company, led a team into the mountain to survey and found a hole on the collapsed hillside.

Lao Zhang and three other survey team members entered the cave and found that it was a thousand-year-old tomb, and took out some antiques from the ancient tomb.

In the process, four members of the survey team were bitten by rat fleas on the rats in the tomb and contracted the plague.

When Lao Zhang and his team members left Wild Monkey Ridge, they were discovered by Wang Dequan, a villager of Wangjia Village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

Wang Dequan went into the mountain to find the ancient tomb in the evening of the next day, and when he was taking the burial goods from the ancient tomb, he was also bitten by rat fleas and infected with plague.

After that, four people, including Lao Zhang, a member of the survey team, went to the urban area to sell antiques and transmitted the plague to the owner of the antique shop and the owner of the fruit shop and breakfast shop in Yuhu Community, where he temporarily lived, causing an epidemic of pneumonic plague in the urban area.

The owner of the antique shop told the cultural relics thief the news that Lao Zhang and his team members brought out the antiques from the ancient tomb, causing the cultural relics thief and his party to break into the ancient tomb and also contracted the plague.

Wang Dequan died the day after returning to the village, infecting the plague to relatives and friends who had attended the funeral, causing an outbreak of plague in Wangjia Village and Lijia Village under the Qingcheng Mountain.

Although the plague epidemic was finally brought under control through various measures, several members of our emergency response team, Section Chief Li of Qingcheng County Disease Control and Control, and Officer Nan were trapped in the ancient tomb for two days and two nights. ”

Xiao Chu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't come back to his senses at all.

Zhou Lao sighed, "Yes, that time was really dangerous." ”

Gu Yanan: "The danger is not the plague, but the people who go to the tomb to steal cultural relics, if it weren't for him preparing to blow up the tomb with a grenade, we wouldn't be trapped, and he wouldn't have died in the tomb because he couldn't be treated in time because he was infected with the plague." ”

Gao Fei: "This is evil and evil retribution, dare to steal the thousand-year-old tomb, the owner of the ancient tomb asked him to stay and be buried with him." ”

Zhou Lao: "Lu Li, you still remember the last incident very clearly, and you still remember the names of the first cases and the survey team members." ”

"I don't just remember the name of each patient." Lu Li touched his arm that already had goosebumps, "I still remember the sound of rats eating the corpses of cultural relics thieves during the two days and two nights when I was trapped in the ancient tomb. ”

Xiao Chu came back to his senses, "The plague was transmitted from the ancient tomb rats last time, if someone enters again, will it be infected again." ”

"It's entirely possible." Lu Li let out a long sigh, "Qingcheng Mountain is the natural foci of plague, Yersinia pestis has long existed in wild mice, wild cats and other wild animals and parasitic fleas, as long as these natural storage hosts are there, once people enter this environment, they may be infected." ”

Zhou Lao: "That's true, this is the terrible thing about natural foci, we can't eliminate all storage hosts, we can only strengthen monitoring and regulate our own human behavior to avoid infection." ”

Xiao Chu's eyes were full of worry, "I heard that a tourism company is going to develop scenic spots in Qingcheng Mountain, including the ancient tomb project, will it be dangerous?" ”

Zhou Lao: "There is definitely a danger, but we can't stop the local economic development just because Qingcheng Mountain is the natural source of the plague, as long as the corresponding measures are taken in the preliminary inspection and construction process, there should be no problem." ”

Gao Fei said while driving, "Zhou Lao is right, the scenery of Qingcheng Mountain is beautiful, but because of the natural conditions, it is not suitable for farming, and the economic income of the nearby villagers is low. But only if prevention is done. ”

Lu Li: "I remember that some places in Qingcheng Mountain have been developed into scenic spots, and one of the caves still has a lot of World War II mustard gas, which has been developed into a patriotic education base. ”

Gu Yanan: "Well, that scenic spot was developed by the coastal tourism company, and the scenic area is not large, located at the southwest end of the Qingcheng Mountains. ”

Zhou Lao answered, "The Qingcheng Mountains are very wide, and the Wild Monkey Ridge Ancient Tomb is located at the southeast end of Qingcheng Mountain. ”

Gu Yanan: "It is difficult to estimate, Qingcheng Mountain Range from the southwest end to the southeast section, a straight line distance of hundreds of kilometers, if you want to connect the two scenic spots, you need very strong financial resources, and the depths of the Qingcheng Mountain Range, the mountains are steep, the terrain is dangerous, and it is not suitable for development into a scenic spot. ”

Xiao Chu seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in surprise: "Is the Lijia Village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain that we are going to this time close to the Wangjia Village where the plague epidemic occurred last time?" ”

"Near." Gu Yanan said very plainly.

"Very close." Lu Li added, "Lijia Village is close to Wangjia Village, and Li Dabao, who died in the last plague outbreak, was from Lijia Village. ”

Xiao Chu gasped, "The time interval is so close, it is likely that the plague has broken out again." ”

There was silence in the car.

——

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, Lijia Village.

At the entrance of Lijia Village, the main road into the village was blocked by a warning tape.

Section Chief Li and several staff members of the county CDC were waiting there wearing protective clothing.

Gu Yanan and his entourage got down from the shunting car, put on protective clothing, and met Section Chief Li.

"How's it going?" Gu Yanan asked Section Chief Li.
