Gu Yunjiao was also worried that these forbidden troops would suffer from heat stroke, so as long as they stopped at the official post, they would make herbal tea for them.

The people in the flood discharge area have now moved to the vicinity of Yangzhou City, which is more than 500 miles away from Xiangcheng.

It took more than 500 miles and five days to arrive in Yangzhou.

When I arrived outside the city of Yangzhou, I saw that the city gate was closed, and along the base of the city wall, there were shacks built by the people everywhere, all because of the nearby villagers who had migrated from the flood.

The soldiers on the city wall saw that officers and soldiers were coming, and lowered the hanging baskets from above.

Gu Yunjiao handed the emperor's edict to the commander of the forbidden army, and the captain put the edict into the hanging basket.

Gu Yunjiao walked around and asked the people, "I'm a doctor, is any of you playing tricks?" ”

The people shook their heads.

Someone told Gu Yunjiao, "The sick people are concentrated on the side of the North City Gate, and our side is fine." ”

"On the way to that side, we all cut down trees to stop them, and they couldn't get through."

Gu Yunjiao nodded and didn't say anything.

After a while, the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the forbidden army escorted Gu Yunjiao in two columns.

Some of the people near the city walls also rushed towards the city at this time.

The soldiers defending the city took up their spears and tried to drive the people away.

The people cried out, "My lord, let us in, we will get the plague if we stay here." ”

Ignoring the weeping people, the soldiers drove them away, closed the drawbridge, and closed the gates.

The forbidden army first escorted Gu Yunjiao to the Yangzhou Mansion.

The prefect had just gotten the news and hurriedly greeted him.

Gu Yunjiao met with Governor Wu, and said straight to the point: "Find a few patients to come over to me first, I want to determine what kind of illness they are suffering from." ”

Governor Wu hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

"Doctor Gu doesn't know, this disease is contagious, and there are more and more people who are infected with the disease, and the official does not dare to open the city gate, in case the people in this city are also infected with the epidemic, the situation will become more and more difficult to control."

Gu Yunjiao couldn't be 100% sure that these people were infected with malaria at this time, she thought about it and asked first: "Are all the sick people outside the city now?" ”

Wu Zhifu said: "The patients are concentrated near the north and west gates, and there is no known infection in the city." ”

Gu Yunjiao thought for a while, "Then I'll go out of the city to treat patients." ”

Governor Wu knew the identity of Dr. Gu, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city had read the edict and had already reported to him.

Governor Wu hesitated for a moment, "This, Doctor Gu, if you leave the city once you leave, it will not be good to enter the city again, after all, in case you bring the epidemic back to the city-"

Gu Yunjiao said: "If this epidemic is really as you said in the excerpt, this disease is not contagious at all. ”

"No, I'm not right, it's not through person-to-person contact."

"Because it's mosquitoes that spread the disease."

"Mosquitoes suck the blood of sick people and bite healthy people, and healthy people get malaria."

Gu Yunjiao looked at Governor Wu with a smile, "Unless Lord Wu makes a mosquito net on the entire Yangzhou." ”

Governor Wu was a little anxious, "What should I do then?" Mosquitoes have wings and can fly, and there may already be such mosquitoes in the city. ”

Gu Yunjiao groaned: "Everything will wait until I see the patient first and confirm it." ”

Governor Wu didn't dare to take the risk himself, so he sent a cronie to take Gu Yunjiao out of the city from the north gate.

Gu Yunjiao left the color screen behind, and only took two soldiers and Wu Governor's cronies out of the city together.

She distributed homemade masks to several people, and instructed everyone to tighten their sleeves and trouser legs, and then left the North City Gate.
