Chapter 196: The Princess of the Dead Country (14)

Xingyun and the others had just walked to a bungalow when they saw two soldiers carrying out one person one after the other.

The man was swept by the grass, and Xingyun could barely see the other party's exposed gray hair.

It's an old man.

This happens every day in the epidemic area, with as many as four or five people and as little as one person, and everyone is numb.

Every day, I drank the decoction ordered by the doctors, and no one knew when it would be my turn to be carried away.

Walking into the bungalow, there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, and the sound of coughing filled the room, and there was a smell of decay in the air.

This room is full of patients who are more seriously ill, most of whom are elderly.

Some people are surrounded by relatives who have volunteered to follow them into the epidemic area to take care of them, and many more are alone.

Dr. Du squatted in front of a middle-aged man with white forehead and abnormal red cheeks, curled up on the ground, his left hand clutching his collar and coughing heartbreakingly, and the mat under him was still stained with blackened blood.

Doctor Du first checked the pulse for a long time, then checked the man's mouth, nose and eyes with his gloved hands, and turned his head to tell Xingyun to write down the man's symptoms.

Several critically ill patients were examined in a row, all of whom had fever, headache, coughing up blood, fatigue, emaciated, and some had begun to lose consciousness.

After leaving the house, Dr. Du looked solemn, and the symptoms of these patients were even more serious than he imagined.

I went to other rooms to see those patients who were less seriously ill, and it was not until sunset that Dr. Du returned to the hospital with Xingyun.

As soon as he returned to the medical hall, Dr. Du plunged into the medical books, and the medical hall had a lot of medical books collected by the prefect of Yangcheng for the doctors in the medical hall to consult.

Days have passed, and there is still no good treatment plan.

The new prescription that everyone tried the day before yesterday failed again, and the condition did not improve or deteriorate.

In the past few days, Xingyun has followed Dr. Du to the entire epidemic area, and has also read a lot of medical books, in her opinion, this should be some kind of acute respiratory infectious disease.

However, it is impossible to determine what kind of disease it is with current technical means.

Yangcheng has achieved the ultimate in prevention, every day people clean the streets and houses in the epidemic area, and then smoke wormwood, and the dead patients will also be burned and buried.

People who are not sick in the epidemic area also have to drink a bowl of decoction for pre-epidemic prevention every day, and the consumption of medicinal materials is very large, and I heard that the medicinal materials of the entire Cangzhou are being sent to Yangcheng.

The only difference is that the masks made by Xingyun at that time became popular, not only in the epidemic area, but even the people outside the epidemic area began to wear new masks.

On this day, Xingyun and Dr. Du had just returned from the Western District, and found that there were many more people outside the medical hall, and some soldiers surrounded the medical hall, and idle people were not allowed to enter.

After asking the people who were watching the excitement outside, I learned that it was the prefect Lin who came to inquire about the progress of the epidemic, and Zhou Chen, the eldest son of Zhou Huan, the envoy of Cangzhou Festival, came with him.

Zhou Heng is equivalent to the soil emperor in Cangzhou, so the status of his eldest son in Cangzhou can be imagined.

Even the original owner who was raised in the deep palace had heard of the names of Zhou Heng's father and son, but it was not a good reputation.

It is said that Zhou Chen looks fierce and vicious, eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, anyway, how terrible is it, it is almost said that he is a Shura.

However, in the past few days, Xingyun has occasionally heard about Zhou Chen in the epidemic area, and those are all good things.

What young man is promising, brave and good at fighting, and loves the people......

In short, the reputation of the Zhou family father and son in Cangzhou is still very good, and they are very loved by the local people.

And a few months ago, Zhou Chen led an army of 80,000 to defeat the nomads in the north and almost hit the nest.

The officers and soldiers who blockaded Yangcheng and patrolled were also transferred from Zhou Chen, and he himself led some of his soldiers to guard near Yangcheng.

However, what surprised Xingyun was that Zhou Chen actually entered the epidemic area in person, this is not a joke, Zhou Huan only has this one sister-in-law!

Doctor Du was not in a hurry to go to the medical center, he originally wanted to take Xingyun back to the place where he lived to sort out his recent thoughts, but he saw the door of the medical center reopen and the group walked out.

Walking in the front were two men, middle-aged men dressed in dark clothes, their eyebrows slightly twisted, and they were whispering something to the young man in silver-white armor beside him.

The young man was tall, his face was cold, and he had a pair of deep eyes under his sword eyebrows, which should be the legendary Zhou Chen.

Doctor Du thought about it, but still wanted to wait for the people to go to the hospital again, at this time, a soldier rushed over, clasped his fists and saluted, and handed over an urgent report.

Zhou Chen opened the letter and quickly glanced at it, his expression changed, and he suddenly turned around and went back to the medical hall.

The people around didn't know what was going on, and Dr. Du felt that something might be related to the medical hall, so he pulled Xingyun and hurriedly followed.

After proving his identity as a doctor, Dr. Du had just entered the hospital when he was told by a familiar doctor that an epidemic had also been found in Ancheng, which was two cities away from Yangcheng.

"It's impossible!"

Doctor Du was very surprised, "Yangcheng is closed, how did they get infected?" ”

After discovering the epidemic, the prefect Lin decisively ordered the isolation of the patients at the first time, closed the city gate to report the disease, and at the same time comforted the people, and did everything he could in the first time.

After that, the entire Cangzhou was also much more cautious in accepting the displaced people, and there were not many displaced people in Cangzhou, and no one thought that there would be a second city infected with the epidemic, and it was two months later.

"Who knows, the prefect of Ancheng hopes that Yangcheng will send some doctors there, and the herbs for epidemic prevention will also come out of Yangcheng."

This is also a helpless thing, after all, most of the famous doctors and herbs in Cangzhou are now concentrated in Yangcheng.

Dr. Du pondered for a moment and decided to go to Anseong to see if it was the same disease.

Soon, the doctor who went to Ancheng had been selected, and Dr. Du collected the symptoms collected during this time and the manuscript he had written, and took Xingyun and the dumb girl to Ancheng.

This time, it was actually Zhou Chen who led the troops to escort them to Ancheng.

After arriving in Anseong, the Anseong prefect personally greeted them at the gate of the city, Zhou Chen hurriedly dismounted, and talked to the Anseong prefect while walking, thinking that he was understanding the current situation in the entire Anseong.

And Xingyun and his party were taken to the newly established epidemic area by someone sent by the prefect of Anseong.

On the carriage, Xingyun sat on the frame and looked around, and found that the situation on the streets of Anseong was similar to that of Yangcheng, and he was also a capable person who wanted to come to the prefect of Anseong.

Suddenly, a man with a scar in a cloth shirt flashed in front of Xingyun's eyes, and Xingyun turned his head sharply, but he could only see the other party's tall back.

Soon, the man turned into an alley and disappeared from Xingyun's sight......
