Chapter 123: The Black Death
"Chief Eber, they ...... Is it just like that?" asked the two young men with shovels in their hands, looking at the elder behind them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of them, there were three corpses lying on the ground, the corpses were covered with sores and black spots, looking extremely terrifying, three or five meters away from the pit next to the corpses, several people were watching this side, and the woman leaned on the man's shoulder silently wept.
"Well......," said Eber, shaking his head, "hurry up, for I am afraid that this disease will be transmitted to others." ”
"Yes. ”
Two young men put the three bodies into the pit and buried it with a shovel, and the few people who were silently bowing their heads and praying were the families of the three deceased.
The three deceased were not very old, the youngest was only 16 years old, the three of them came to an island in the narrow sea by boat a month ago, the sea near this island was very fishy, in just one month, the three of them earned five golden dragons by fishing, this time they wanted to bring the golden dragon home, but who knew that on the way back, they contracted this evil disease......
Within two days of returning home, the three of them began to have symptoms of high fever, and the day before yesterday, three young people had been killed by this terrible disease.
"Let's go, people can't be resurrected after death, I hope the goddess of light can protect them. "The Bishop has come to us, and he has promised to build a church, and the village will prosper in the future, and you are still young, raise another child, and the village will give you some help." ”
"Karl, the Bishop had lunch at your house two days ago, and the Bishop said that the church would bless our village. With that, Chief Eber walked out of the grove and walked in the direction of the village.
The man named Carl frowned tightly, how could he not be sad that his child had died of an unknown disease?
However, he also knew that the death of the three people with the same symptoms must be some kind of contagious disease, because of this, they could not hold a public funeral in the village, and the three were good friends in life, so they were simply buried in the woods, where they loved to play in childhood.
"You two have worked hard, remember to go to the prayer room and pray later, don't get sick too. Carl said to two young men who were helping to dig the pit and fill in the soil.
"Carl ......" beside Carl, the child's mother put one hand on his shoulder, and the other hand gently stroked her forehead, and said, "I should be tired, go back, I'm a little dizzy." ”
――――――――
Sophie almost ran back to Copper Horn Street.
People from other worlds absolutely do not know the impact of the plague on the current level of civilization, if the plague is allowed to spread to King's Landing and spread, I am afraid that the entire kingdom of West will be devastated from now on, population is one of the most important resources in this era, and a large loss of population will inevitably cause serious social regression......
For Su Fei, this is not something that can be kept out of it, you know, he is also in King's Landing City now! If the plague spreads, it will also have a very big impact on himself, even if Su Fei has an intermediate snake grass water, and pays great attention to his daily diet and living habits, but looking at the city full of dead people all day long, although Su Fei has not experienced it, it must be very uncomfortable.
What's more, if these people are all sick and dead, who will come to his store to buy things?
At this time, Nicole had already come to the store, because it was open during the day, Xiaobai couldn't be released from the Poke Ball, so Nicole could only tease the dog meat and chat with Vivian, Sophie hurriedly called the two of them over, and repeatedly told them not to go to crowded places during this time, and not to talk face-to-face with customers who entered the store, and to wash their hands with soap before eating.
The disease has not yet begun to spread, but Su Fei, who knows that the Black Death is severe, is very anxious now.
Although the Intermediate Snake Grass Water can cure the plague, and this has been successfully tested on Bishop Andy, the price of a bottle of Intermediate Snake Grass Water is 100 trading points! Don't look at Su Fei's daily income of tens of thousands of trading points, but in fact, he can only buy 100 bottles.
And the mid-level goods are not mini-packed!
You know, King's Landing has a population of 500,000 people! If the plague does spread into the city, Sophie will never be able to rely on selling or giving away mid-grade snake grass water to treat the sick.
Su Fei thought quickly, after curing Bishop Andy in the temple just now, Su Fei repeatedly emphasized that all those who have come into contact with or indirectly come into contact with Bishop Andy must wash their hands, and Bishop Andy's room must be temporarily blocked, and the recovered Bishop Andy can no longer enter the bedroom where he has rested for the past two days, and in these days, the priests need to supervise each other, if anyone finds signs of illness, they must immediately isolate and drink snake grass water.
It was also because Sophie had healed Andy that the priests in the temple now had absolute admiration for him, and all of Sophie's requests were meticulously carried out by them.
A small temple would take so much trouble that Su Fei couldn't imagine what it would be like if a plague spread on a large scale......
In a civilization like the Middle Ages of the Earth, although the people here are not as ignorant as the Europe of the Middle Ages of the Earth, they are not much different, and people do not understand the cause of the Black Death and how it spreads, even if they are bitten by mosquitoes, no one will take it seriously.
Su Fei remembered the books he had read that described the Black Death in the Middle Ages in Europe, and just reading the words made him feel a little shocked.
"What to do, what to do......" Su Fei paced around the room.
Sophie had just heard Bishop Andy talk about the situation in the past few days in the temple, and he had no other time to contact people outside except when he went out to speak, so it was certain that Bishop Andy contracted an illness during the lecture.
Since there has not been an outbreak of the Black Death in the city now, it must have only spread in the villages that Andy had visited before, and the transportation in this era was not convenient, and it would take some time for the disease to spread from that village to the city.
But...... If you want to reduce the impact of the Black Death as much as possible, you need to hurry now, the city is not like a village, the village is sparsely populated, and every house is separated by a distance, and in King's Landing, because of the overpopulation, the residential buildings are almost built close together, this densely populated environment, is the best breeding ground for disease.
Su Fei had already asked the priests to go to the Red Fort to meet the king after cleaning up the affairs of the temple just now, and report the plague outside the city, the best way for this kind of thing is for the kingdom officials to come forward and the soldiers out of the cave to isolate the villages that have been infected by the Black Death outside, after all, the Black Death is not a native disease here, so as long as the source of infection before the outbreak is controlled, the plague can be controlled.
However, Su Fei's concern is that even if the king listens to Andy's report, he may not act immediately.
Not to mention that the kingdom officials are not very fond of the temple, but they don't use the temple as a tool to stabilize the hearts of the people, Bishop Andy's words don't have much weight in front of the king, not to mention, Andy can't give evidence of the spread of the plague.
And even if the king listened to Andy's advice, from giving the order, to selecting men, and then rushing out of the city, this large process would probably have to be a few days later, knowing that the incubation period of the Black Death was only two to eight days!
In other words, a new patient will appear in two days at the earliest, and now, at least three days have passed since the virus appeared in the village outside King's Landing!
Just as Su Fei was scratching his head and thinking hard, a prompt box suddenly popped up in the system.
System message: The condition is reached, and a random task is triggered.
Hint: The inhabitants of King's Landing are in danger of a terrible plague as it spreads, so eradicate the plague before it breaks out, and from now on, if more than 1,000 people die from the disease, the mission will be declared a failure.
