Chapter 302: Epidemic 2
When the three of them walked to the entrance of the village, they found something unusual, it was not yet noon, but there was no one working in the farm. Several acres of fertile land were deserted and overgrown with withered grass. The three of them covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, and when they entered the village, they attracted a lot of vigilant eyes.
He Jingying stepped forward and said: "The Heavenly Master has calculated that there are demons and evil in this place, and he has come to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”
Hearing the word Heavenly Master, the villagers looked at each other.
"Heavenly Master? Isn't Zhang Tianshi all gone? ”
Suspicion is suspicion, but many villagers still quickly come out. Everyone gathered in front of the three of them, Li Fan put on a purple robe and a ghost mask, and He Jingying and Xiao Lian were both dressed in black and covered their faces, looking quite mysterious.
"It looks like he's better than Zhang Tianshi."
Xiao Lian glanced at Li Fan, Li Fan stretched out his hand, and a cluster of blue flames suddenly rose from his palm. Suddenly, as soon as Li Fan withdrew his hand, the blue flame was held in Li Fan's hand again.
He Jingying saw Li Fan withdraw his hand behind his back and shook it, throwing away the paper sprinkled with white phosphorus in his hand. He Jingying rolled her eyes and hid the smile in her eyes.
Although it was a simple move, it still shocked the villagers.
"Heavenly Master!"
"It's really a Heavenly Master!"
"We're saved!"
The villagers knelt in front of them one after another and kowtowed: "Heavenly Master, save us." ”
Li Fan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Let the deity see who is causing the evil and take the deity to see." ”
Xiao Lian lowered his voice and said to He Jingying: "Don't go into the house later, just outside, don't talk to people, stand in a position with few people and wait for me, don't take off the veil below." ”
"What about you?"
"Li Fan and I should be fine, we will return to Beijing after we find out the situation."
Xiao Lian asked loudly: "Is there a person named Dacheng in your village?" ”
The villagers were stunned: "Yes, yes, there is such a person." ”
"Take us there."
Soon the villagers took Xiao Lian and Li Fan to Dacheng's house.
"Dacheng Niang, the Heavenly Master is here."
"What?" The old woman who had made trouble in the Six Diseases Pavilion came out of the house: "Didn't Zhang Tianshi say that he didn't care?" ”
"Here's someone more powerful than Zhang Tianshi."
When Dacheng Niang saw Li Fan wearing a purple robe, covered with a ghost mask, and an extraordinary bearing, she suddenly seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "Ah, please ask the Heavenly Master to save us Dacheng, Dacheng has been honest all his life and has never done evil, why did he provoke Niu Tou Ma Mian?" Ask the Heavenly Master to save us Dacheng, don't let Lord Yama take him away, otherwise how will my wife live? ”
Li Fan stepped into Dacheng's house, and as soon as he entered the room, he asked about an unpleasant smell, an indescribable stench mixed with the burning smell of the spell, all of which were stuffed in this room without opening windows or ventilation.
Xiao Lian turned around and opened the windows everywhere first.
Unexpectedly, Dacheng Niang pounced on Xiao Lian as if she was suddenly crazy: "What are you doing!" Can you afford to let Dacheng Yang Qi go?! Are you Heavenly Masters or not? ”
Li Fan was checking Dacheng's symptoms, and Dacheng's mother was bluffing in his ear, which upset him. Li Fan looked at Dacheng Niang angrily: "You can come." ”
"What?" Dacheng Niang looked at Li Fan with a shocked face.
Li Fan rolled his eyes: "The deity is ransomed with the King of Yama, if you annoy the King of Yama, the King of Yama will ask for his life now." ”
"Don't!" Dacheng Niang was so frightened that she almost fainted. She hurriedly retreated into the corner, afraid and anxious, but the ghost face on Li Fan's face was really scary, and she didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so she could only circle around the room like an ant on a hot pot.
Li Fan found that Dacheng's neck was swollen several times, swollen into a cow's neck, no wonder that Zhang Tianshi made up some kind of lie, these villagers were so convinced.
Dacheng neck lymphadenopathy is swollen, and he is short of breath and his heart rate is irregular, and it is estimated that the diphtheria pseudomembrane should have entered the trachea. In modern times, it is necessary to treat with antibiotics and cut the trachea to remove the pseudomembrane.
I'm afraid that looking at Dacheng's situation, the pseudomembrane has blocked the trachea, and if you don't come out, you will soon suffocate to death. Anti-inflammatory and antibiotics should also be used after the removal of the pseudofilm.
But in this era, there are no such things, and Li Fan is not too sure whether Dacheng's situation will improve after the trachea is cut and the false membrane is removed. What's more, with the villagers' attitude towards medicine, how could they be willing to let him cut Dacheng's trachea?
Li Fan looked at the villagers outside the house and asked, "How many people are still possessed by bulls and horses like Dacheng?" ”
The villagers dodged their eyes for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not.
A man who looked like a village chief squeezed in, and he said sharply, "What are you waiting for!" Bring everyone to the Celestial Master! ”
Li Fan interrupted: "Is there a place where these people can be concentrated?" ”
The village chief thought for a while: "Yes, the ancestral hall can." ”
"Okay, then go to the ancestral hall and bring Dacheng over."
After a while, thirty patients were carried to the ancestral hall, and Li Fan looked at them one by one, and sure enough, they all suffered from diphtheria, and it seemed that there were people in every family who were sick.
Li Fan and Xiao Lian glanced at each other, looked back at the people outside the ancestral hall, and didn't know how many more people would fall ill one after another.
Xiao Lian frowned and said, "The whole village has to be quarantined?" ”
Li Fan nodded.
Although the croppers do not know martial arts, they are very brave in resisting, and they are very troublesome to manage.
Xiao Lian frowned and said, "I'm afraid I need to send troops from the imperial court." It's just that there may be such patients in the capital, and there are several villages around, I don't know if there are any more. ”
Li Fan turned around and said to He Jingying: "There is still a lot of wormwood and wine here, as well as medicinal materials, which are not something that the Six Diseases Pavilion can manage, I am afraid that someone from the household department will have to take the lead." ”
He Jingying nodded and said, "I'll go back to Beijing to find the Queen Mother to transfer troops first, and then let Wang Shaoan arrange wormwood and wine." ”
He Jingying was about to leave, and the door of the ancestral hall was slowly opened. The village chief walked in, turned and closed the door again. The village chief has a gray beard at his age, but his face is calm, and he looks like a highly respected person.
The village chief looked at the three of them and said slowly, "You are not Heavenly Masters, are you?" ”
The three of them were stunned.
The village chief pointed at Li Fan: "I have seen many heavenly masters, but none of them are like you, and they don't even have a charm. ”
In the end, it's careless. Li Fan smiled slightly and took off his mask, revealing the scar across his face: "I was indeed a Heavenly Master before, but now I am Langzhong." ”
The village chief was not frightened by the scar on Li Fan's face at all, and nodded slightly: "Is there a way to cure these people?" ”
The three of them didn't expect this village chief to be reasonable. Li Fan said honestly: "There is no prescription yet, and now I can only use medicine to control it temporarily." However, I will have the imperial doctor in the palace and Lang Zhong in the capital consult together, and I think there will be a prescription soon. ”
Li Fan was also a little unconfident when he said this, but he always had to say something and do something.
The village chief looked at the villagers lying on the ground sadly: "I know it's an epidemic, but they don't believe it, and the first one to die is my wife." ”
The three of them were speechless for a moment.
The village chief looked at Xiao Lian and He Jingying: "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Lian hugged his fists and said: "Yulin leads Xiao Lian." By the way, he pointed to He Jingying: "She is the princess of Nanjun." ”
"It turned out to be General Xiao and the princess." The village chief was startled and quickly knelt down to the two.
He Jingying said gently: "Uncle doesn't have to be polite. ”
The village chief wiped a handful of tears: "General Xiao, I know you, the entire Great Qi was saved by you." ”
"Uncle has won the award."
The village chief calmed down and looked at the villagers: "What should these people do?" What can I do? ”
Xiao Lian was happy, it was much easier to have the village chief take the lead: "These people can't go out in the ancestral hall, and people with the same symptoms must also be sent to the ancestral hall." All the rest must wear the veil, which must not be removed and must not leave the village. We will send medicine and wormwood from the capital. That's all there is to it. ”
The village chief nodded: "Okay, I will definitely let them follow the rules." It's just ......" The village chief looked up at Li Fan again: "I hope to have medicine for them soon." Li Zhuang asked Lang Zhong. ”
Li Fan said solemnly: "Definitely." ”
