Chapter 121: Epidemic Zone

Liang Yan half-wrapped her arms around Shangguan Xi's shoulder, comforted her, and raised her head to Li Xuanyi and said, "Shizi, these corpses can't be abandoned here, the corpses are rotten, and it is easier to cause diseases to flow." Find the county first, and then arrange the affairs here, right? ”

Li Xuanyi nodded, and everyone walked quickly along the avenue towards the city gate.

The city gate, which was supposed to be bustling, is now lonely, only two guards guarding the city gate, drooping their heads and listless.

Everyone walked to the gate of the city, and Li Xuanyi said: "Go and inform the county that the Dadu Hu and Thorn Shi and others sent by the Holy Lord to control the plague in Jiangdong have arrived!" ”

The guards, who were napping with their heads drooping, were startled, and a spirit woke up.

After looking at Li Xuanyi and the others, he reacted, turned his head and rushed towards the city.

The other guard looked at the crowd, trembled his lips and said, "Great, my lord...... Look, are you all waiting here, waiting for the county to send a sedan chair to pick it up? ”

"No, you don't." Li Xuanyi glanced at him and walked into the city gate, "Let's walk." ”

From the dock to here, they walked a short road, and the three imperial doctors were too tired to walk.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Qian sat down on the spot, "Lord Shizi, you have practiced martial arts all year round, we can't compare, you can still walk, we can't walk!" ”

After speaking, he took Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Wang and sat on the ground at the gate of the city.

Li Xuanyi glanced at them and saw that they were panting, even though it was early winter, and there was still fine sweat on their foreheads. He was not reluctant, "The three imperial doctors, you can sit down and rest for a while, and wait for the county to send a sedan chair to pick it up." ”

He turned his face to look at Liang Yan, "If Liang Tingshi is tired, stop and rest for a while, right?" ”

Liang Yan hurriedly shook her head, "Don't be tired, let's see the county soon, so that we can arrange the rest of the matters!" ”

As she spoke, she made a gesture of please and entered the city gate first.

Li Xuanyi glanced at her and strode after her.

Shangguan Xi saw that Liang Yan refused to stop to rest, and chased after him in a hurry.

In the end, there were only a few servants who waited for the three imperial doctors, and they sat on the dirt road at the city gate with the three imperial doctors, waiting for someone to send a sedan chair to pick them up.

The faces of the three imperial doctors were a little unpleasant.

The woman who was originally looked down upon by them was ahead of them at this time. When they shouted that they were tired, they didn't even complain. Where do these old faces go?

Doctor Qian sneered: "There is no hurry at this time!" ”

The county was shocked when he heard that the assassin and others sent by the capital to control the plague had arrived. Didn't you say that you would go directly to Wu County? The plague in Wu County is not so serious, and the officials from the capital are naturally expensive, and it is good to be able to sit in Wu County.

Why did you get off the boat as soon as you arrived in Huainan?

"County Cheng, everyone is here, and they are all outside the yamen now!" The master ran in in a panic and said.

The county was even more surprised, "What? This, this sedan chair hasn't been sent over yet? How did you come here? ”

"Come out and greet you!" The master stepped forward, dragged the county man, and dragged him out.

The feather crown on the head of the county was shocked a little crooked by him by the steps of the emperor, but he couldn't care about helping him at this time.

Before the county Cheng could get out of the gate of the yamen, he saw that Li Xuanyi and his party had already entered the yamen.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. I thought that I was late to greet him, and I didn't put on a scene, and I would definitely be punished.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuanyi only asked him to get up quietly, and everyone sat down in turn.

The woman in the official uniform asked what the situation was in Qingcheng County now.

I heard that there was a female official photographed above, and I thought that this one was the one who spoke.

The county man bowed down and replied: "Qingcheng County has been dead for four or five hundred people since the beginning of the plague, and our Qingcheng County has a total of permanent residents, old and young, and it is about five thousand. Nowadays, there are dead people in almost every family, and it is not uncommon for some families to die empty. ”

Liang Yan was shocked when she heard this, "Four or five hundred people died in one county, and according to Jiangdong, there were more than 1,000 dead, which is simply ......."

It's too much underreporting!

The county Cheng's face was a little ugly, and he whispered: "It's not that many ...... die at once."

I am afraid that if I report it truthfully, the Holy Lord will send troops to surround Jiangdong to death, and I will not send anyone to save it! No one dared to come to the rescue!

"Are there still dead people every day?" Liang Yan asked again.

The county Cheng nodded, "Most of the deceased are old and weak women and children, and some young adults have recently begun to get sick and die one after another, and there will be death reports every day, and there are many families who are dead and unburied, or there are many people whose families abandon their bodies in the wilderness." Therefore, outside the city and on the outskirts of the city, abandoned corpses can be seen everywhere. ”

Liang Yan nodded, "The corpse can't just be abandoned in the wilderness, lest the plague of the big head has not been controlled, and the epidemic will start again." Ask the county to summon the young and vigorous people to burn and bury the corpses on the spot. The big head plague is not terrible, it is not an incurable disease, and there have been many patients who have been cured in the capital. ”

The county was stunned, "It can be treated, doesn't it have to die?" ”

Liang Yan nodded, "It can be cured!" ”

The county man nodded again and again, "I'm going to gather people!" ”

"Wait!" Liang Yan got up and said.

"What else does Liang Tingshi command?" The county asked.

"Please instruct these people to pay attention to cleanliness, cover their mouths and noses with a clean cloth, and do not remove them when talking to each other. After burying the body, be sure to wash your hands. In addition, please send another group of people to the dock to bring back some of the medicinal materials loaded on the ship. Set up a medicine shed at the entrance of the yamen and distribute anti-epidemic medicine to everyone! Liang Yan commanded.

The county man hurriedly agreed, turned his head and ordered the people below to do it.

and asked the master to arrange accommodation for Li Xuanyi and his party.

Hearing that there were still three imperial doctors at the gate of the city who couldn't come back, the county Cheng sent someone to carry a sedan chair to pick it up.

When the three imperial doctors were brought back.

The medicine shed outside the yamen had already been set up, and Liang Yan was instructing the young men brought from Renjitang to set up a temporary cauldron and make a fire to prepare for boiling medicine.

When the county sent someone to carry some medicinal materials back from the wharf, a lot of people had gathered outside the yamen, waiting for these people from the capital to save their lives.

Liang Yan instructed the young man to let the person who was already hot stand on the other side.

Then put the prepared sweet orange soup in a large pot and boil.

Taking advantage of the boiling of medicine, she stood on the top of the steps at the entrance of the yamen and shouted condescendingly: "Everyone be quiet! ”

Everyone saw that it was a woman who spoke, and although she was wearing an official uniform, she looked very young.

Some pointed at Liang Yan, while others snickered in a low voice, not taking her words seriously!

Liang Yan shouted twice, but the discussion below was getting louder and louder, and she didn't mean to calm down and let her speak.

Liang Yan frowned slightly, it seems that she wants to be convincing as a woman, and the road to go is really long!

She was thinking about it when she heard a silence underneath.

The cacophony in my ears was gone for a while.

As if they had been pointed, their eyes widened, their mouths opened or closed, but there was no sound.

The chaotic scene was silent for a while.

She followed everyone's gaze and looked back.

saw Li Xuanyi holding a shiny long sword standing at the entrance of the yamen.

"Liang Tingshi has something to say, who doesn't listen to the order, and first ask my sword if he agrees!" Li Xuanyi's voice was colder than sword light.

The crowd quickly shut up.

Li Xuanyi is tall and long, his face is handsome, and his innate nobility makes him stand out from the crowd even if he is in the crowd. A long sword adds to the majesty of slaughter.

The people of Qingcheng County, where have they seen such an extraordinary man with an extraordinary appearance and noble temperament, and they were shocked by him in an instant.

Liang Yan glanced at him, turned around, cleared her throat and said, "I am the Imperial Gift of Jiangdong Thorn History, responsible for the treatment and control of this plague!" I am bound to work with you to eradicate the plague in Qingcheng County, Huainan, and Jiangdong! The plague is not cured, and we will not return to Beijing! Believe me! I would like to say a few points below, please pay attention to the fact that once you find out that your relatives and friends, or you have a fever, seek medical attention immediately, or report it immediately, without delay! Those who do not have fever come to the yamen every morning and evening to receive a decoction to prevent plague! Also note, no matter with anyone, do not share personal items such as cups, sweat towels, dishes and chopsticks, pay attention to personal cleanliness, and wash hands before eating! Don't spit! It is best to cover your mouth and nose with a clean cotton cloth when you go out, open windows often for ventilation, and pay attention to keeping warm at night. ”

After Liang Yan finished speaking, she saw that everyone's faces were a little inexplicable, as if she felt that her request had nothing to do with controlling the plague.

Modern people, they don't need to tell them this at all, they know what they should do, this is something that will be promoted in school, on TV, and on the Internet, and will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But the ancients, when it came to it, were a little incompetent.

Liang Yan pursed her lips and said, "Because of the big head plague, it will be transmitted through saliva, breathing, and contact." But this disease is not undefensible and incurable! As long as you believe me and do what I say, the big head plague will be defeated by us together! No more plundering of our lives and the lives of our loved ones! ”

The faces of the crowd were a little moved.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do it right away!" Li Xuanyi commanded loudly.

When they heard this, they quickly took out the handkerchief from their bosoms or sleeve pockets, and put it on their mouths and noses.

"The medicine is almost ready, everyone who does not have a fever, go back and get their own bowls, remember their own bowls, don't share them with others, don't mix them up!" Liang Yan said.

When the people heard this, they scattered in all directions.

Those who were close came back in a short time, holding a bowl and waiting to be given a decoction of prevention for themselves.

Liang Yan asked the county to prepare a spacious courtyard and take everyone who had a fever to the courtyard for isolation and observation.

He also summoned doctors from Qingcheng County and neighboring counties to come and exchange with them how to identify the plague and the prescription for curing it.

When everyone saw Jiangdong Thorn History, it was really a woman, and she was still a young woman. I was a little disappointed in my heart.

This is because the saint doesn't pay attention to Jiangdong, so he randomly sent someone to fool them, but in fact, let them wait here for death?

Troops transferred from the Jingzhou and Yuanzhou areas have arrived one after another.

Li Xuanyi arranged the deployment of troops to tightly and semi-seal the areas of Huainan, Danyang, Xindu, and Wujun, where the plague spread. Whether it is a single person traveling or a large number of caravans, all of them are checked one by one, and doctors are set up at each pass, and once there is a suspected illness, the whole team is isolated.

The strict semi-blockade in the Jiangdong area made some people in Jiangdong even more panicked for a while.
