Gu Junruo asked about the number of sick people in the village and the total population, so he summoned two soldiers and said: "I will write a letter to you, you should return to the city immediately, first, ask the general to send troops to guard Zhaojia Village, fortify along the road, and not allow any infected people to run out; ”

"The second is to invite famous doctors to come and treat patients; Third, please ask Zhao Zhushu to purchase relevant medicinal materials on his behalf and send them here. ”

Gu Junruo wrote a letter and handed it to the two soldiers, asking them to return immediately, after thinking about it, she advised: "Don't take the path, take the official road back." ”

That is, to return the same way.

Li Zheng felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, is there a problem with the people who go out from the path?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "Chen Jian is Chen Guolai's meticulous work. ”

Just this sentence made Li Zheng's face change greatly.

Gu Junruo said: "This is concealed in advance and is not allowed to spread outside, the top priority is to control the epidemic and prevent it from spreading." ”

Li Zheng came back to his senses and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, we must control the epidemic." ”

Seeing the anxiety on his face, Gu Junruo knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "I am in Zhaojia Village, and I will work with you to find a way to treat the patient and eliminate the epidemic." ”

Li Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Madame is willing to enter the village?" ”

Gu Junruo nodded, and said to everyone: "Find a clean cloth towel to cover your mouth and nose, it's better than nothing, let's advance and retreat with Zhaojia Village." ”

She said to Li Zheng: "I'm here, Li Zheng can rest assured that Yixian will not give up Zhaojia Village." ”

Li Zheng heard tears streaming down his eyes, why did he hesitate all the time, and was persuaded by Chen Jian to temporarily stop the idea of reporting to the top?

Isn't it just that they are afraid that after the plague is reported, the county government will directly trap the people of their village in the village in order to prevent the spread of the plague?

This is not without precedent.

Now that he had Gu Junruo's assurance, Li Zheng's mind was clear, and he also thought of why Chen Jian stopped him from reporting in the first place, this was to make the plague more serious, let the people in the village flee, and then bring the plague out.

He was startled, and his face turned a little pale, "Madam, some people in the village have left one after another in the past few days. ”

Gu Junruo asked, "How many people have left, do you know where they went?" ”

"Twelve people, a total of four families, are all going to relatives...... "Among the people who left, they all knew in their hearts, and asked where they were before leaving.

As soon as Gu Junruo heard this, he asked Li Shichang to send soldiers out to look for them, "You don't have to chase them back, if you have already arrived at a relative's house, find the local Lizheng and village chiefs, and ask them to arrange an unmanned house for them to live in, provide them with clean food, let them rest behind closed doors for a while, and find a doctor to show them if they are sick." ”

"Yes."

Li Shichang asked the two of them to team up and leave with Gu Junruo's handbook, so that only Li Shichang remained, and he and Ding Si glanced at each other, both a little nervous.

This is a plague, pervasive, and does not depend on whether the person is strong or not, and it is terrible to think about.

Xiaochan and Xiaobei were also very nervous, and followed closely behind Gu Junruo.

Gu Junruo folded the veil in two layers to cover his mouth and nose, and then he and Li Zheng entered the village.

Because of the ferry business, although Zhaojia Village is located in a remote area, life is still good.

Most of the houses in the village were mud houses, covered with tiles, not like the low thatched houses that Gu Junruo and Han Mu had seen when they inspected before.

But at this time, the slightly wealthy village was lifeless, and the speed of the plague spread quickly, and in just a few days, basically every household in Zhaojia Village had a sick person.

At this time, the villagers were hiding in their houses, and when they heard that there were people from the village, or from the government, they hid behind the windows and doors and looked out.

Two large cauldrons were placed in the center of the village, and medicine was boiling in the pots.

The doors of the next few farmhouses were open, and there were many people lying inside.

Li Zhengdao: "They are all the people who first became ill, since I realized that this is the plague, I vacated a few rooms and gathered them in one place, but there are more and more sick people in the village, and now there are people who are infected in every household who remains in the village." ”

"These rooms are no longer able to live, but the daily medicine is taken from these two cauldrons."

Li Zheng was already very powerful in being able to do this, Gu Junruo glanced at him approvingly, and asked, "What about the doctor?" ”

Li Zheng hurriedly asked someone, and the eldest child who was hiding behind the door to watch the excitement said, "The third grandfather went to collect medicine, and said that the medicine was not enough." ”

The medicine is not enough, Zhaojia Village is a little far away from the county seat, but the town can buy medicine, they went to the town's pharmacy to buy medicine twice, and basically bought all the applicable medicinal materials.

Because Zhaojia Village is a big village, the doctor usually stores some medicine, but so many people are sick, and the food is almost finished now, so the doctor can only go up the mountain to collect.

Gu Junruo could only investigate the situation in Zhaojia Village while waiting for the doctor to come back, "Is the first person who is sick still there?" ”

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, he is in the house." ”

Gu Junruo was about to go in with Lizheng, but Xiaobei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Madam, let's go in and carry him out and talk back." ”

Gu Junruo pushed him away and said, "No need." ”

She was going to go into the house, but she had already entered the village, could she still hide from the sick?

Gu Junruo and Li were walking into the house, and a room was covered with mats side by side, and some straw was spread on the mat, and people were lying on the straw at this time.

There were eighteen people lying in a room, and there were all kinds of smells, and even though she had covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, the smell was still not good.

Gu Junruo glanced at it and saw that the room was dark, and people were lying in it as if they were moldy.

She frowned and said, "At this time, the sun is just right, there is no need to keep people in the house all the time, and those who can go can go out to bask in the sun." ”

Li Zheng said: "I'm afraid that they will blow the wind, but it will aggravate the condition." ”

Gu Junruo glanced out and said: "It's June at this time, and the sunshine is the best time. ”

Seeing that the straw was black, and that the medicinal juice and food had fallen on it, the patients did not care, and lay down with a helpless face, because they were sick and thin, and their eyes were particularly large, but they were not bright, so they stared at them like this.

Gu Junruo frowned, followed Li Zheng to the innermost side, there was a young man lying inside, very thin, his face was sallow and pale, his eyes were blank, and when he saw Li Zheng leading people over, he just rolled his eyes, and he didn't react much.

Li Zheng called him, "Zhao Daqi, this is Mrs. County Order, why don't you get up and salute quickly?" ”

Zhao Daqi was about to get up with difficulty, but Gu Junruo stopped him, looked left and right first, and then said, "Let people put some clean straw under the root of the wall outside, and move all the patients outside." ”

Locked up in this room, more than a dozen people are huddled together, lifeless, smelly and dirty, they will get sick if they are not sick, not to mention they are seriously ill.

Although Li Zheng felt that Gu Junruo's move would aggravate their condition, he gritted his teeth and agreed when he thought that she dared to enter the village and would stay in the village to advance and retreat with them.

He was afraid that if he refused, Gu Junruo would throw off his sleeves and leave, and then the only chance of their Zhaojia Village would be cut off.
