Chapter 33: Good News

In order to prevent the fleas that had bitten the sick from spreading in the camp, Lin Qingdai came up with a way to separate men and women, and to take the bedding and palm mat to the sun as long as there was sun.

Men and women in the camp had to bathe and change their clothes every day, and change into steamed clothes.

In order to prevent fleas from climbing onto their clothes, everyone tied the trouser legs and cuffs around the waist to reduce fleas from touching the skin.

After the fifth day, no one in the camp was sick again, and those who died were burned and buried, and the whole camp breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Lin Qingdai is a lot more relaxed.

In Ningyang City, it is a different scene now.

After Qin Jingtian went back, he began to implement it as soon as he went back, and the city gate was closed, and only allowed to go out, and he was not allowed to enter the city.

As long as a person with a fever is found, anyone who has been in contact with it will be held in solitary confinement for observation.

The Night Imperial Doctor has been busy lately, and his mind is always feeling "buzzing", because Qin Jingtian calls him to his side at any time.

Back in Ningyang City, Qin Jingtian wrote down the matters that Lin Qingdai said to pay attention to, and gave these to the night imperial doctor.

The plague had been encountered before, but the word pneumonic plague that Lin Qingdai said was the first time that the night imperial doctor had heard it.

Holding what Qin Jingtian gave, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

His eyes were full of admiration: "Sedum, you have picked up a treasure this time, these are the most perfect ways to prevent the spread of the plague that I have ever seen, and Miss Lin seems to know a lot about this plague, have you asked her how she knows that this is pneumonic plague?" I've only seen of plague in books, and this is the first time I've heard of pneumonic plague. ”

Anyway, he is an imperial doctor, and he thinks that his medical skills are exquisite, although he does not say that there is no one in the world who is invincible, but there are very few people who can compare with him.

Previously, he only treated this plague as an ordinary plague, and Anyang City was a little far away, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

So he didn't take this matter to heart, not only him, but even all the imperial doctors in this city didn't take this plague to heart.

If it weren't for the seriousness of what Lin Qingdai said, I am afraid that Ningyang City would not be under martial law.

Qin Jingtian was worried about Lin Qingdai in his heart, he had also sent people to the camp to see it in the past few days, but he only glanced at it from a distance, knowing that people were dying in the camp every day, and he was even more worried.

Bai glanced at the night imperial doctor and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, there are more than a dozen cases of disease in the city, and the work of exterminating rats and fleas is also very good, but I am still uneasy in my heart, Ningyang City found that the plague is not a good thing, the fatality rate of this disease is too high, as long as you are infected, you will die." ”

The night imperial doctor sighed, a little decadent: "I have also been dispensing medicine in the past few days, but the patient has no effect at all after drinking the medicine, the onset is too fast, I see that the person who was found first is estimated to not live long." ”

Only now did he understand what Lin Qingdai meant when she said that the onset of the disease was fast and the mortality rate was high.

In just a few days, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he can't be cured.

Qin Jingtian rubbed his forehead, a little tired: "The emperor has not been in court early recently, everyone in the big families in the city is in danger, you see that there are fewer people on the street." ”

Ningyang City is not as lively as before, even if there are pedestrians on the street recently, they are all in a hurry, and he is to blame, if King Duan is there that day, he will ask Lin Qingdai's opinion, maybe these patients will not mix into the city.

Angelica came from behind with a carriage, and when he saw Qin Jingtian, he hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, Hanwen Academy is suspended, how should Lin Gongzi arrange it?" ”

Lin Xiaotong sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain a little timidly, and after seeing Qin Jingtian, he didn't care about being afraid, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, ran to Qin Jingtian and knelt down and said, "Where is my sister, Lord Wang?" ”

He knew that a plague-infected patient had been found in the city, and most of the people of the Hanwen Academy were panicked, and most of his classmates were taken home, even the gentleman of the academy didn't have the heart to give a lecture, he had always been worried about Lin Qingdai in his heart, and knew that Lin Qingdai and Qin Jingtian were together, so he took advantage of the suspension of classes in the academy and begged the people who protected him to come to see Qin Jingtian, just to know where Lin Qingdai was.

Qin Jingtian helped Lin Xiaotong up, and did not tell the truth: "Your sister has some things to deal with, and she will come back in a few days, and you will stay in the palace during this time." ”

Lin Xiaotong said anxiously: "Then can the prince tell my sister what to do?" In what place? ”

He was always uneasy, and he was always thinking about something serious.

Qin Jingtian reluctantly smiled and rubbed Lin Qingdai's head: "As long as you are obedient, I will bring your sister to see you in a few days, and tell the maid what you need in the palace." ”

After speaking, Angelica gave Angelica a look, and Angelica hurriedly hugged Lin Xiaotong into the carriage.

When Angelica walked to Qin Jingtian's side again, Qin Jingtian said in a low voice: "It just so happens that my mother has been talking about Qingdai recently, you send the child to my mother, and when you go home, you will bathe and change your clothes first." ”

The palace is also under martial law now, and all the maids in the palace have to take a bath and change their clothes after they go back, and there are people who have specially checked to see if they have been bitten by fleas.

Lin Xiaotong lifted the curtain uneasily, biting his lip, but he didn't dare to get off the horse and ask again.

Ten days later.

Eventually, no one in the camp was sick, and a total of fifteen people died, all of whom died within a few days of the onset of the disease.

It has been several days since no one in the camp became ill.

Lin Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to relax, fortunately Chang Qing and Wang Xingjian were not infected with the plague.

The two have been the ones who contributed the most in the camp.

After a heavy rain, the people in the camp were much more relaxed, and I heard Lin Qingdai say that as long as no one got sick after this rain, there should be nothing wrong.

After the heavy rain, the mud in the camp had turned pale white, and the lime had mixed with the mud.

The tents that had previously housed the sick were burned, and the clothes of all the people in the camp were steamed and baked, and cleaned from beginning to end.

The remaining thirty or so people felt like they had been given a new lease of life.

After more than ten days of isolated life, finally, after the rain passed and the sky was clear, Qin Jingtian came to the camp with a whip.

Qin Jingtian hadn't rested well for more than ten days, and he was worried about Lin Qingdai and the spread of the plague in the city.

Fortunately, no new patients were found except for the first dozen or so, and seven of those dozen or so people were only infected with other diseases, causing fever.

The rest of the people were not so lucky, and he also found a pattern, these people all entered the city together, fortunately, these people were worried about being driven out of the city by the people of the government, and as soon as they came to Ningyang City, they lived in the inn and never went out.

This is the main reason why the plague did not spread.
