"Yu'er-" Wei Chiche hurried over, but saw the picture of her and Wen Qing hugging, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and angry.

"Yulang ......" Seeing that Yu Chiche was coming, she felt a little like she was caught and raped on the spot, so she pushed Wen Qing away in a panic and took two steps back.

Yu Chiche came over and pulled her and examined her carefully. "You didn't go in, did you?"

She cowered and shook her head at him. "Didn't go in."

"It's a good thing you didn't go in, do you know how dangerous it would be if you did? This disease has been reported to the imperial court by Dr. Zhu this morning, and it is the first case of infection in Kyoto. ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that she shrank in fear, looking pitiful and submissive, his anger slowly subsided, and only worry remained.

"Cousin, how can this disease be cured? Aunt Honglian is her benefactor, and she is the first infected patient, you have to do your best to save the life! Wei Chiche looked back at Ling Yichen, who was standing not far away, he had to bring his cousin for her this time, even if he knew that his cousin didn't like her very much, and even a little annoyed, he had to ask for a favor for her.

"Hmm. I tried my best. Ling Yichen, who was dressed in green clothes, nodded, glanced at An Jingyu coldly, and felt that she and Wen Qing hugged each other just now, a little sorry for her cousin, and she was even more displeased with her in her heart.

"The disease has been breaking out in many parts of the south for nearly a month, tens of thousands of people have been infected, hundreds of people are dying every day, and many places have closed cities and villages."

"What are the symptoms?" An Jingyu must understand the symptoms of the disease, the trajectory of the disease and the mode of infection.

"At first, I was afraid of cold, then I had a high fever that did not go away, and I had a strong cough and difficulty breathing. They all thought that it was a cold cough caused by the cold weather, so they used local methods to treat the disease, but they died of illness within seven days. Only then did the doctor discover that the disease was menacing, and it should be infected by the plague.

Who is the source of infection has not been investigated, but the folk rumor is that there is a group of horse-walking caravans from the coastal areas all the way to the land of Bashu, and only three members died on the way, and now the officials have presented a report that all the places with severe epidemics are from the coastal areas across the land of Bashu, and there are only a few cases in other places where the caravan passes. ”

"If it's contagious, it's a respiratory disease in terms of coughing, a disease that is transmitted through the air by splashing spittle, and they're not wearing masks?" An Jingyu asked, in her previous life, she had read a lot of medical books, and also learned about the epidemic cases that occurred in China and foreign countries for thousands of years, most of which were contagious respiratory diseases, which was also the most terrifying.

Of course, there are plagues caused by animals such as plague.

Often, when cities and villages are closed, there is a shortage of medical care and medicine, or the medicine is not right, or even local officials do not act, they have to give up one city and one village, and wait for the whole village to die at home, and then set a fire to it, so as to isolate the epidemic and eliminate the epidemic.

Of course, the practice of sealing down cities and villages is correct, and it is worth sacrificing the people of one city in exchange for the health and lives of people in other places.

Although innocent people will be implicated, but people in other places are also innocent, but for the sake of the whole country and the people, such an approach is justified.

After all, ancient medical technology was not as good as modern medicine, and in more backward times, patients who had contracted the plague could only be abandoned.

Ling Yichen didn't expect her to say such professional words, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses.

"I've only been studying this disease for a few days, and I haven't found an antidote yet. Some time ago, the officials at the bottom were too tightly hidden, and they had missed the best time for epidemic prevention, and there were too many deaths in less than half a month, and the epidemic situation was too serious, and they couldn't hide it, so they sent people to report to the imperial court. Also, what is a mask? ”

The kind with a handkerchief around the face?

"It's just how you sew it, covering your entire mouth, nose and face." An Jingyu took out her scarf from her chest and wrapped it around her face, and then took it off and folded it into a curved pocket.

"This scarf is too soft and transparent to play the role of isolation, so it is necessary to use linen and cotton cloth, sew it with needles and threads, sew four cloth belts, and tie them behind the head.

This can isolate the patient's cough foam, so that the virus present in the mouth can be reduced, which also reduces the chance of infection. Patients should also wear masks to reduce foam splashing. All normal people have to wear masks, which is the first hurdle to curb the epidemic. ”

"Makes sense, you continue. Stone teeth, you write it down. Ling Yichen was very happy to see that someone had the same idea as himself, so he hurriedly called the personal servant Shiya and recorded it with a pen and paper.

"Yes, Childe." Shiya, who is in his early twenties, has been with him for more than ten years, and he has long been full of tacit understanding, and just now he saw joy in the eyes of his son, and he only had a sympathy when he met a confidant.

"All patients must be isolated and away from the normal population in order to curb the spread of the disease, and all patients must be isolated in the same place and treated separately according to the severity of the disease, which is the second hurdle."

An Jingyu only cares about the epidemic and the situation of Red Lotus now, so she cares about Ling Yichen's feelings very much, and she is willing to tell him anything he wants to know.

Ah Zhou, who was standing silently on the side, came with Yu Chiche, and when he heard An Jing say that he wanted needlework, he hurriedly pulled a small servant to ask for needlework and linen, and called a few small servants on the side to move tables and chairs.

Ling Yichen listened to it, felt that her words were very reasonable, and nodded in agreement. "But what else do you need to pay attention to?"

"Ordinary people are also quarantined at home and are not allowed to go out. You must also wash your hands every day, wash your hands with sulfur soap, you can kill most of the viruses, some people just don't pay attention to hygiene, don't wash your hands and take something to eat, that's how the disease comes from the mouth. ”

She gushed and told everything she knew.

"No going out? The people are afraid that it will be difficult to follow. "Wei Chiche expressed his opinion for the first time, Zhongli is open to the people, ordinary people are quite passable, and the nightlife is very rich, although it is winter, at night Qinlou Chu Pavilion, gambling hall tobacco shop, teahouse wine shop are all brightly lit, and business is prosperous.

"Then tell them that their lives are important, or if they want to let their children and grandchildren burn incense and send paper money to him during Qingming next year." Her eyes were cold, and she let out cruel words. Thinking that this epidemic is coming, once it spreads to Kyoto, I am afraid she will not be able to escape.

"Those entertainment venues are temporarily closed, and guests are not allowed to be accommodated, and once they violate the rules and disciplines, let the officials arrest them in prison and fend for themselves, you can give them a chance first, and if the officials do not go home after being admonished, they will use violence to enforce the law.

In addition, a few grain and oil shops and grocery stores were set aside for the people to line up to purchase, and the medical hall should be guarded by officers and soldiers, and all patients who found high fever and cough would go to the doctor, and they would be strictly investigated, and told that the imperial court would treat the disease free of charge. ”

At this time, a few servants brought tables and chairs and asked them to sit down and discuss.

"But there are not so many supplies, and if the hospital and the streets have to be guarded and patrolled, a lot of masks alone will be needed." Ling Yichen feels that the epidemic is menacing, there is a lack of doctors and medicines, and there are no masks, how to defeat the epidemic? Eradication of epidemics? I am afraid that it will take a lot of sacrifices to save the people who have left the country in a minute.

He asked Shi Ya to record every word she said with a pen and paper, and he watched it to prevent it from slipping.

"Let the people make masks at home, and then call on cities that have not broken out of the epidemic to donate masks to tide over the difficulties together, otherwise the epidemic will break out and sweep the whole country, and no one will be able to escape the same fate. This is a respiratory infectious disease, as long as there is a patient coughing, spitting everywhere, someone walking by him, without any protection, there must be a 70 or 80 percent chance of infection. ”

An Jingyu's eyes were red, she had only been in Zhongli for more than half a year, and in the first half of the year, there was a very serious flood in the south, and there was a drought in the north once in 30 years, the people were displaced, and the displaced people were wandering everywhere...... The situation has just happened in the past two months, and the epidemic broke out again in the south at this time, is it ......

While she was in a daze, Ah Zhou brought needlework scissors and a few pieces of gray-blue linen.

"County Lord, do you see if these things are enough?"

"Huh? OK. She came back to her senses and saw that Ah Zhou was holding a basket in his hand, containing a lot of needlework items, and he was quite eye-catching.

Under the gaze of everyone, she began to cut a gray-blue linen cloth into the size of two palms with scissors, made a deep crease in the middle, and then sewed a straight line along the crease with a needle and thread, and then sewed four long straps, and she wore a mask herself to achieve the demonstration effect.

The mask fits snugly on the face, leaving a little space between the mouth and nose, so that there is enough oxygen to breathe, and there will be no problems of unsmooth breathing and stuffiness.

"That's good, Yu'er." Yu Chiche was very interested, and suddenly remembered that the moon letter cloth belt was a bit similar to a woman, and it was also a bit like the bra she was wearing. It's just that this mask is a smaller version. However, it also proves that his family language is smart and agile, and he draws inferences from one another.

Wen Qing learned her steps and sewed a mask in three or five clicks, and her skills were quite good. "Doctor Ling, let's wear it first, and see how it works."

"Okay." Ling Yichen did not refuse, he also wanted to know whether the mask had the effect of isolating the virus.

After wearing it, it is indeed much better than before when I casually took a handkerchief around my face, my breathing was smoother, and my face did not have a stuffy problem. The mask is worn securely and there is no need to worry about falling off.

"It's good, it should be insulating."

"It can only be used for two hours before it has to be replaced, and these dirty masks must be boiled separately in utensils for a quarter of an hour, and must be used separately, otherwise it will cause secondary cross-infection, especially if the patient has used it, it must be more careful and cautious."

"Well, that's something to remember." Ling Yichen nodded, impressed by her. Tell the little girl Shiya to remember her words well, and don't miss them.

Yu Chiche also followed and cut out a piece of linen the size of a mask, although he couldn't needle and thread, but he could still cut it with scissors.

There were quite a few small people standing on the periphery, who came over to pick up needlework scissors together, and also helped.

"What to do with those corpses?" She remembered that the source of infection was the corpse, and Zhong Liguo seemed to follow the traditional burial.

"I didn't know that it would be contagious, that is, it was buried in the earth, but later it was found that it would be infectious, so there were some unclaimed corpses for the official family to send people to be cremated on the spot, but most people still used the burial."

Ling Yichen also has a headache about this problem, I don't know what method to use to persuade the people to use cremation, if the government forcibly implements cremation, I am afraid that it will cause contradictions and conflicts, and even riots.

"The third hurdle is the disposal of corpses, which must be cremated, buried in closed coffins, which will only become a breeding ground for epidemics, in case the epidemic is just over, there are grave robbers who do bad things, once they come into contact with the corpses with the virus, the months-long fight against the epidemic will not be in vain."

"Lord Rui has arrived-"

"The National Teacher has arrived—"

At this time, someone shouted loudly in the distance, and An Jingyu could hear that it was Yan Huan's voice.
