Chapter 284: The Epidemic (3)
Tong Xiaolai felt a little strange: "Many villagers are sick, why aren't you sick?" Tong Xiaolai could see that they didn't look like they were sick.
In this regard, the grandmother explained with her experience: "This may be because we have been sniffing and coming into contact with drugs for a long time, and the medicine has entered our internal organs, so that we rarely get sick in our lives, and it has also helped us resist this menacing plague." ”
"Oh, I see, it seems to make sense." Tong Xiaolai agreed.
"Tong Xiaolai, what does it seem to make sense, do you want them to get sick?" Xia Yuxuan scolded him angrily.
Tong Xiaolai hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. ”
"Don't come here! Don't come here! She's sick, she's sick! ”
Seeing that the treatment of the female doctor was not going well, the man who was carried down from the mountain went crazy in panic like a madman, and refused to cooperate with the treatment.
"Don't come, don't come! She's sick, she's sick......" but he was talking wildly again.
The man's action attracted Tong Xiaolai's attention, and Tong Xiaolai wondered: Did he be stimulated by something?
Xia Yuxuan and the old grandmother were talking and chatting there, while Tong Xiaolai got up and went over to take a look.
But I saw that the man was curled up and shivering, and his mouth was talking nonsense.
"What's wrong with him?" Tong Xiaolai asked.
"Maybe the loss of his family and the plague were too big for him." The female doctor was prescribing medicine for him.
Tong Xiaolai: "Plague, plus madness, this is not easy to treat. ”
Female doctor: "Yes, this disaster has hit people too hard, and many of our villagers have lost their relatives in this disaster, including this little girl. ”
But I saw that the little girl was alone in a corner, looking sad, and secretly wiping her tears.
"It seems that this plague has really crushed a lot of people." Tong Xiaolai looked at the man and the little girl.
"Hurry up and boil the medicine for him, remember to let him take the medicine on time." The female doctor prepared the medicine and said to a volunteer.
"Okay doctor, I'll make him medicine." The volunteer replied, and after speaking, he carried the medicine bag to the backyard.
The female doctor prepared the medicine for the man who came down from the mountain and went to the backyard to see the patient.
I heard that there were still some patients in the backyard behind her, so Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan also went to the backyard to take a look at the situation of those patients.
Go down the hallway to the backyard. As soon as I came to the backyard, I saw that some sheds had been set up inside, and there were more than a dozen patients lying under the sheds, some of them were in mild condition, some were more serious, and there were several medicine stoves next to them, and several volunteers were boiling medicine there with full firepower.
These medicines are not only for people in the backyard, but also for other patients outside the clinic who are at home or on the road, so the medicine is obviously insufficient.
After finishing the courtyard, the female doctor had to go to the temple, and she still had many patients there. Tong Xiaolai and the others also followed.
On the way to the temple, Tong Xiaolai asked the female doctor: "Doctor, is this plague spread through the air?" ”
However, the female doctor replied: "From what I have observed for so many days, this plague does not spread through the air. ”
"It won't spread through the air!" Tong Xiaolai suddenly exclaimed, "Then why do you infect so many people?!" ”
Tong Xiaolai thought to himself: Airborne transmission is extremely difficult to isolate, and other transmission methods such as droplet transmission or contact transmission will be easier to control, but according to the current infection situation in the village, it should only be through airborne transmission to reach such a serious level.
"But if it's not airborne, then why are so many people infected in such a short period of time?" Tong Xiaolai was quite surprised.
"It's a pity that I haven't investigated the specific cause yet, but we all think it's caused by illness!" The female doctor said.
"Sickness?!"
Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan were also quite surprised.
"What is the disease?!" Tong Xiaolai remembered that the man who came down from the mountain also mentioned the disease.
The female doctor told them about the disease she knew: "Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a disease that woke up every three hundred years. Whenever it awakens, it begins to attack nearby villages, scourge their neighbors, and bring disaster to these places. However, three hundred years have passed since the last rumor of a similar incident occurred, so I suspect that the disease must have struck here! ”
"You're saying there were rumors of something similar elsewhere three hundred years ago?" Tong Xiaolai asked.
"Yes, exactly three hundred years have passed since the rumored time when a similar incident occurred, so everyone in our village believes that the disease has woken up again, and this time it is our village that has been attacked!" The female doctor was convinced.
"I didn't expect there to be such an evil thing. So, this plague in the village is also caused by disease? Hearing this, Tong Xiaolai was skeptical.
"I think so, that's the only way to explain the plague." The female doctor said.
"So what should I do?" Tong Xiaolai didn't know what to do for a while.
"The best way is to eliminate the disease, so that it will not continue to plague the world in the future!" The female doctor said.
"So where is it? If you want to destroy it, you must at least know where it is, right? Tong Xiaolai asked.
"That's right...... the female doctor seemed to hear what Tong Xiaolai meant.
"And where is it?" Tong Xiaolai inquired.
At this moment, the female doctor stopped walking and walking, listening to this meaning, Tong Xiaolai asked where it was, just to eliminate it, but no one has really seen the disease for so many years, and no one can eliminate it, this is a very dangerous thing. In the eyes of the female doctor, Tong Xiaolai was just an outsider and had nothing to do with herself, so there was no need for them to do so.
Hearing Tong Xiaolai repeatedly inquire about the location of the disease, the female doctor stopped, looked at Tong Xiaolai very seriously, and said, "Why do you want to know where the disease is?" This is a matter in our village, and it has nothing to do with you, I just saw that you got lost in the mountains, and I saved you with kindness, so please leave when you are almost done. ”
"Yes, you saved us because of your kindness, and you didn't drive us away because of your kindness now?" Tong Xiaolai also understood what she meant, she just wanted them to go, so that they would not meddle in their affairs.
The female doctor thought to herself: Who is this Tong Xiaolai, and she can see through her mind at a glance. The female doctor looked at him again......
"And what do you want to do?" The female doctor said.
"We will help you eradicate this disease, eradicate this plague, and restore your village to normal." Tong Xiaolai cut the railway.
"No, you can't!" The female doctor resolutely refused him, "This is a matter in our village, you don't have to worry about it." Forgive me for keeping you, so let's go! ”
"Don't say it, we'll take care of this matter, don't say it's a disease, even if it's another village disease, I'll eliminate it for you!" Tong Xiaolai is so confident. As the saying goes, the two armies have not moved, self-confidence first, and whether or not to slap the face is a matter of the future.
I saw the female doctor staring at Tong Xiaolai with a serious and angry expression, as if she had something to say.
"I remember your name is Tong Xiaolai, right?" The female doctor stared at Tong Xiaolai angrily.
Tong Xiaolai: "No. ”
"Huh?" Xia Yuxuan glanced at him.
"And what's your name?" The female doctor stared at him angrily.
Tong Xiaolai: "My name is Shuai Shuai Shuai Tong Xiaolai." ”
Xia Yuxuan immediately shook him a roll of his eyes and let him comprehend it himself.
"Okay, handsome and handsome, boy Xiaolai, no! I say no, I just can't! The female doctor said with a serious face.
"You really believe it!" Xia Yuxuan said.
Female Doctor: "......"
was exposed like this, Tong Xiaolai annoyed her: "Are you still not my favorite lady?" ”
"Anyway, you have nothing to do, just go. I still have something to do, and there are still sick people in the temple, so I won't send you. The female doctor who came to the gate of the temple walked into the temple after speaking.
The female doctor left, and Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan stood at the gate of the broken temple.
Xia Yuxuan said earnestly: "Tong Xiaolai, don't forget, we still have a task, and we only have three days left, do you really want to do this, eliminate the disease or something?" ”
"Silly girl, I'm here for the mission!" Tong Xiaolai said calmly.
"Why? How do you know this is a mission? What exactly is our mission? Xia Yuxuan was puzzled.
When Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan entered the painting, they didn't know what their task was, and prompted them to enter the woman in the painting, only telling them that they had to find the task and complete it by themselves after entering the painting, and there were only three days.
But according to the intuition and experience of the child, what is this not the task?
Tong Xiaolai believes that the most dangerous place is the place where the mission is hidden!
When he saw such a serious plague, coupled with the fact that the female doctor said that there was a disease, Tong Xiaolai already felt that there was a task, so he came to this place.
"Remember what was painted on the portrait on the door?" Tong Xiaolai asked.
Xia Yuxuan was trying to recall, clasping her fingers and counting, "Uh...... I remember that the portrait seemed to be depicted with ...... A woman, a monster, and a village, what does that mean? ”
"Oh!" After a while, Xia Yuxuan, who thought of this, suddenly realized, "You mean ......?"
"That's right! The woman, the monster, and the village in the portrait all point here, which shows that our mission is likely to be here! It's in this village, it's related to this village! Tong Xiaolai analyzed seriously.
Xia Yuxuan covered her mouth in surprise, only to realize that "I didn't expect the mission to be here!" ”
