Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Plague Emerges from the Wang Family
Qiao Wei didn't know what Steward Jin was thinking, but she just thought that there might only be a lot more trouble in the future.
When he figured it out, he didn't bother anymore, the soldiers came to block the water and flood, and then the matter will be talked about later.
The two of them returned to the village, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they saw the reason, and sat on the steps of the door with Lin Yun'er with an anxious and worried face.
Seeing the two of them coming back, he hurriedly got up.
"You two are back."
"You just came back from the main road in the village or the small road, didn't you pass by Wang Mazi's house next to you?!" Li Rou asked eagerly.
The main road in the village is far from Qiao Wei's house, and they sometimes take the small road when they come on weekdays, and the small road just passes in front of Wang Mazi's house.
"Originally, I came to walk the path, but who knows if the small river next to it was overturned, and the water flowed into the potholes on the path, so I didn't go." Qiao Wei said.
"What's the matter? What happened during our absence? Qiao Wei looked at the two sisters very strangely, how could they look at her with such a worried look.
"Don't stand at the door, if you have anything to say, go into the room." Lu Zhao let them into the house.
The two sisters pulled Qiao Wei in, and then said mysteriously, "You don't know that something big happened in the village today......
"Something happened to Wang Mazi's family...... Lin Yun'er said with a wrinkled face.
Lu Zhao poured hot water for them, and when he heard that it was Wang Mazi's family, he sat down next to them with a careful eye.
"What happened to the Wang family?" Lu Zhao asked.
Li Rou explained in detail.
"Not long after you went out today, I remembered that the chickens at home forgot to release the chicken shed and went back, walking on the path, passing by Wang Mazi's house, I found that there was a very urgent cough inside, and the coughing sound felt like people were going to carry it......"
It turned out that just this morning, Li Rou heard a cough and was worried about whether Wang Mazi's wife was sick, so she pushed open the fence and walked in without authorization.
knocked on the door and found that the door was not locked, so she pushed it open, and found that Mrs. Wang was sitting on the ground coughing vigorously, and she asked if she was afraid that something would happen.
Mrs. Wang told her that her son woke up early this morning and had a rash all over his body, and at first he didn't pay attention to thinking that he was bitten by a mosquito, but who knew that the rash was all over his body and even his face in half a morning, and soon these rashes burst and flowed out of pus, which made Mrs. Wang collapse to the ground in fright.
Mrs. Wang was already in poor health, and she usually coughed when she didn't go well, but now she was so frightened by her son's miserable appearance that she coughed again and again, and she couldn't get up when she fell to the ground, but she was fine.
Li Rou had the courage to take a look at Wang Mazi in the inner room, and found that his hands, feet and face exposed outside his clothes were terrifying, and everyone fell into a coma.
After just one glance, he was frightened and left Wang's house in a hurry to call the doctor.
At the beginning, Dr. Zeng from the village was called, but this Dr. Zeng took a look at Wang Mazi's symptoms, and was so frightened that he left in a hurry and refused to treat anything.
Before leaving, he said that he had nothing to do, and asked Li Rou to go to find the miracle doctor Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei, a well-known miracle doctor near them, is said to have no disease that he can't cure.
As a last resort, Li Rou brought in the miracle doctor Zhang Lei, but Zhang Lei didn't run away when he saw this symptom like Dr. Zeng, but his words scared Li Rou and almost fell.
"Doctor Zhang said that Wang Mazi had the ......plague," Li Rou said this, and couldn't help pinching a cold sweat, "This scared me so much that I almost fainted, but fortunately, Doctor Zhang called my pulse for me and said that I was not infected, and said that as long as I didn't contact the patient, I wouldn't be infected, so let me stay away from the Wang family." ”
"The plague?" Qiao Wei drank the water with her hand.
Lu Zhao also frowned, and said seriously, "This plague is not laughable, but do you remember how many people died in the plague that came out of Xiwang Town a few years ago, and most of the town lost it......"
"Of course I know this, I heard that the plague infected the immortals can't be saved, but Doctor Zhang said so, he said that Wang Mazi was infected with the plague, and I was almost scared to death at that time, after all, I have been in the Wang family for so long, what if I also get infected with it, Doctor Zhang said I'm fine......" Li Rou said.
But he still carefully found a piece of cloth and covered his face, I got up and walked away from the table to the door, "I'd better stay away from you, what if I also get sick and infect you?" ”
Qiao Wei put down the cup and shook her head, "Don't be so nervous, although Zhang Lei's title of divine doctor was given by someone else, it can show that he is not half-at least some strength, since you say that you are fine, then it is okay, I think the reason why he said it is a plague is because this disease is contagious, but it is not as serious as the plague." ”
With Qiao Wei's words, Li Rou was relieved, for the sake of prudence, he still didn't lean on the table, and still stood at the door.
Lu Zhao moved a chair for her.
Lin Yun'er was relatively timid, she also said, "When I came over, the Wang family was lively, I heard that the iron pillar next door to the Wang family also had a red rash, saying that it was infected, and the two families also made a fuss, but it was just a little troubled and it subsided, because some villagers confirmed that Wang Mazi and Tiezhu went out of the door yesterday, and I don't know where they went, but today the two of them have the same rash, and it is terrible to think about it......"
A red rash appeared on his body, and after spreading rapidly, he cracked and leaked pus, and he still fell into a coma.
This symptom is not uncommon, and the most widely circulated and listed infectious agent in the suicide note is smallpox.
In ancient times, smallpox was deadly.
After thousands of years of replacement, it has long been broken by medicine, modern smallpox does not kill people, and there is a vaccine against it.
But after all, this is an underdeveloped ancient time, and smallpox is still going to be fatal.
But this symptom is more severe than smallpox, and Qiao Wei is not sure if it is smallpox.
"Are you sure that what Mrs. Wang said is right, the rash crawled all over the body in the morning and half a morning, and then cracked open and drained pus?" Qiao Wei wanted to make sure, after all, smallpox was not so severe.
It was only a small half day, and according to the routine in the village here and Li Rou's return home after she left, it was roughly calculated that it would take about two hours, that is, four hours.
After four hours, the condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and this seizure was already a high intensity, and smallpox was not fast enough in ancient times, no matter how severe it was.
Although the causes are very similar, the seizures are too strong.
Maybe he should go to Wang Mazi's house to have a look, after all, if it is really contagious as Doctor Zhang said, even if the small plague is not handled properly, it will cause a huge disaster.
In ancient times, the plague that we saw in the history books killed many people, it was simply a catastrophe every time it appeared.
She didn't want to flee because of the plague and even get infected before she had earned enough money......
