Chapter 34: The Source of the Epidemic
When you are an assistant, you are not allowed to talk back.
Then, after the deed is done, it can only be divided into two percent.
As soon as he heard this, Li Qingyuan became angry.
"Hey! You're too greedy, aren't you? On the Jingshi side, no matter how big or small the matter is, as long as you are a middleman, you can get more than 30% of the remuneration casually, why can I only take 20% and still work for you? ”
"A market is a market, but I also have my own rules. Since you don't want to, then add another one, but then, you must be sent by me, I will let you go east, you can't go west! ”
"Huh! Then you can't let the girl and I warm your bed, and you can't refuse, right? ”
Li Qingyuan scolded him indignantly, but he was met with contempt.
"Just you? Forget it! ”
"Hey! Lin Yu, what do you mean, give this little ...... Girl, make it clear! ”
After that, no matter how much she yelled, Lin Yu didn't pay attention to her anymore.
He had already begun to treat the horse plague here, and before he could solve the horse disease, he needed to cut off the source of the disease.
Those horses that are already sick must be gathered together and must not be allowed to spread diseases among themselves.
Healthy horses are grouped together, while sick horses need to be kept in a more confined place.
At the same time, he needed to cut off the source of the disease.
Those bugs, and other sources of pollution.
Horse plague is generally transmitted through air, water, soil, and some parasites.
After determining the route of infection, Lin Yu asked Li Qingyuan to help instruct the people in the racecourse to lock up the sick horses first and take care of them, while he asked the people in the racecourse for some wormwood.
Lin Yu ordered someone to rub the wormwood, squeeze out the juice in it, mix it with plant ash and water, and then splash it around the horse farm and horse pen.
At the same time, the treated mugwort is lit and stacked around the racecourse.
For a while, the entire horse farm, the air, was filled with a strong smell of medicinal herbs.
"What are you trying to do? Is wormwood useful for healing? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Li Qingyuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw his operation.
"This is just the first step, deworming, I need to get rid of all the bugs here, so that the horses will not be bitten again."
"Bugs? Does this really work? ”
"Hmmm! Because there are some diseases in horses, which are caused by the bites of mosquitoes and midges. ”
"Ahem! But the smell is too pungent, I can't stand it, ahem! ”
Li Qingyuan kept coughing as he spoke.
As the moxa was ignited, the smell around it became stronger and stronger, and many people couldn't stand the smoke and ran outside to take a big breath.
Only Lin Yu was like a nobody, with only a strange mask on his face, which was scattered everywhere.
"Hey! Why are you okay? Ahem, don't choke on panic? ”
Li Qingyuan coughed while fanning the air in front of him.
"I've got a mask! But you, unprepared, plan to be bacon here? Let's go out if it's okay! I'll take a look at it again! ”
"Phew! This girl doesn't believe it, a small mask can block this medicine smoke, cough cough! ”
Don't look at Li Qingyuan's hard mouth at this time, after a while, she was so smoked by the burning herbs that she burst into tears and coughed.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Yu sighed, and still handed her a self-made mask.
As soon as the strange mask covered his face, Li Qingyuan suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier.
At the same time, a cool herbal fragrance rushed into her lungs, making her feel a lot more relaxed in an instant.
"Huh? It seems to really work, how did you get it, why can't I smell a little smoke? ”
"Because there are ingredients in it, charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and some ...... Forget it, you don't understand it when I told you! ”
Lin Yu explained half of it to her, and then stopped directly, causing the other party to roll his eyes for a while.
After a long time, when the smoke completely cleared, the people in the racecourse found that it was a lot quieter in an instant, and the insects that had been flying around the wildebeest all day long were all gone, and some annoying mosquitoes had disappeared without a trace.
What I did before was good, but it didn't completely isolate the pest.
Therefore, after getting rid of the insects in the horse farm, Lin Yu also specially instructed the horse farm owner to sprinkle some chalk soil in the nearby puddles and ditches.
The other party didn't quite understand the reason for doing this, so Lin Yu told him that by doing this, he could get rid of some insects in the water.
Most of the water sources around the horse farm have been polluted, after all, on weekdays, the feces here will be discharged into the water along the ditch, and over time, after the water body decays, maggots will breed.
In this way, the bugs carrying pathogens will hatch inside, mature, and then make a comeback.
After a large amount of chalk was sprinkled into the water, Lin Yu asked people to lead the water with feces to some puddles, and then asked them to pour some saltpeter, hay and branches into it, and completely dispose of the sewage in those puddles.
After the pest was completely eliminated, Lin Yu began to prepare herbs to treat the plague.
These herbs, he can only go to the Beijing Mall to buy.
Fortunately, the owner here actually took the initiative to ask to send someone to get the medicine in person, which saved Lin Yu the effort of looking.
And taking advantage of the time when the herbs were prepared, he wandered around the racecourse.
He thought of taking this opportunity to take a look at the scenery near the horse farm and the water source where the horses fed.
But when he came to a small river, and saw some small dark insects swimming in the water, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
"Hey! What are you looking at? It's all water, not even a fish, what's there to see? ”
Li Qingyuan, who had been following him and watching him do things, couldn't help but be a little curious at this time.
As soon as Lin Yu came to the river, he began to stare at the river in a daze, and he had been staying for almost half an hour at this time.
"Could you please help me ask, does the water in the horse farm get from here? I mean, on weekdays, whether the water that the horses drink and bathe in is taken from here! ”
"Of course, there's only one river in the vicinity, and we're sure to have to get water from here! What's so strange about water? ”
"Doesn't the horse farm have its own well?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help frowning.
"No, there are rivers around here, who would want to dig a well?"
"The problem is the water here! Let's go upstream! ”
"Huh? What's the deal with water? You haven't said it yet! ”
Of course, Lin Yu didn't have the heart to tell her at this time, because he had just seen some extremely small insects in the water.
Those bugs, are they a little different from ordinary daphnia, they are very large, and they are quite dense, and they are all black, and they look a little abnormal.
Not only that, but he also saw some suspicious sediment on the surface of the mud at the bottom of the river.
He suspects that there must be something upstream of the river that is polluting the water.
If it is not dealt with in time, in the long run, not only will the horses not be cured, but one day, the people who get water will also be affected.
There is a clear difference between the plague between humans and the plague between spirit animals.
Jingshi has a large population, and once people are killed, the consequences are quite serious.
Lin Yu discovered this in time and walked upstream along the river.
