Chapter Forty-Six: Corpses Everywhere
The county commander frowned, a little confused about Shen Qingshuang's thoughts.
Didn't this son from the capital come to this 'safe' place because he was afraid of contracting the plague?
But why did she let people get together?
The county magistrate glanced at Shen Qingshuang and saw that she had a noble temperament, so she didn't dare to disobey.
In case he offends the noble son of the capital because of this trivial matter, he will be considered to have done his job as a county order.
After summoning the people out, Shen Qingshuang glanced at the several Qingmen Valley disciples who were following her, "Check their bodies to see if they are infected with the plague." ”
Those Qingmen Valley disciples hadn't recognized her identity yet, and they couldn't help but glance at Master Yuanhong when they heard this.
Master Yuanhong raised his chin, "Didn't you hear what the valley lord said?" ”
Those Qingmen Valley disciples were stunned.
Valley owner? This handsome young man is the valley owner?
The county magistrate was also inexplicable, what valley master?
He has a small official position and limited knowledge, so he doesn't know the clothing of the disciples of Qingmen Valley.
I thought they were Shen Qingshuang's guards.
There are still a lot of people in this place, all dressed in tatters, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles.
They didn't know what they were called together for, and they all looked at Shen Qingshuang and the others in panic.
This plague caused panic in the hearts of the people, and the slightest movement of the people made these people like frightened birds.
"Don't be afraid, we're just here to check on everyone's body to see if you have contracted the plague, so that we can prevent it in advance."
Some plagues have an incubation period and may not break out at that time.
But if it really lurks in these seemingly safe people, it will be terrible once it erupts.
After listening to Shen Qingshuang's words, looking at the men wearing uniform clothes, they stepped forward to check the bodies of the people one by one, and the county order suddenly realized that they were all doctors, not guards.
"Everyone should cooperate with the doctors to check their health." The county magistrate shouted.
Seeing that Shen Jintang and they really only checked their pulses and bodies, the hearts of these people slowly let go.
"When you check, you should also remember how many people you have examined, and tell me when you are done."
It took more than an hour to finally check the bodies of all the people.
Thankfully, they did not contract the plague, except for some malnutrition and some minor ailments of their own health.
There were more than 2,000 people in total, and Shen Qingshuang took out a mask for the county order to see, "My lord, find someone who can do needlework from these people who have checked their bodies to sew this kind of mask, and wear it on their faces to prevent the plague." ”
The prefectural magistrate noticed the white cloth on their faces early in the morning, but he didn't guess what it was.
Now that Shen Qingshuang said this, he understood.
It turned out that the white cloth they were wearing on their faces was to prevent the plague.
The county order was very smart, and he thought that Shen Qingshuang asked him to bring them here in order to find out the people who were not infected by the plague to sew masks.
There is a lot of strength in people, and masks are not very complicated things, as long as you know how to do some needlework, you can sew them.
"Okay, I wonder how many of these masks will be sewn?"
Shen Qingshuang, "The more the merrier, this mask is to prevent the plague, you must sew a few more layers, don't cut corners." ”
The county magistrate also knew the seriousness of this, and nodded seriously.
……
The other side.
Several doctors saw that Shen Qingshuang disappeared after coming here, and couldn't help but whisper, "Sure enough, he was young, and he sneaked away when he came here." ”
"It's okay to sneak away, so young, I guess the medical skills are not good, if you really stay here, maybe you will drag us back."
"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and boil the fever medicine."
The doctors stopped talking and focused on boiling the Chinese medicine in the cauldron in front of them.
The main cause of the plague was fever, followed by a red rash on the skin.
If the fever does not go away, the person will die of a fever.
The red rash on the body of the dead person can also fester.
This place is called Baiqing County, and nearly 1,000 people have been found to be infected with the plague.
They have all been quarantined.
At present, there is no better way to treat this plague, so we can only boil some antipyretic medicine for the people to drink.
The plague in this place is quite light, after all, it has not yet entered the jurisdiction of Jizhou.
Therefore, Imperial Physician Li only left two or three imperial doctors and a few doctors in this place, and rushed to Jizhou.
Today, the plague situation in Jizhou is the most serious.
Fortunately, after the emperor found out, he ordered the blockade of Jizhou, and Jizhou is now only allowed to enter but not out.
Shen Qingshuang also let the disciples of Qingmen Valley stay two.
The others followed her to Jizhou.
Along the way, Shen Qingshuang could be regarded as knowing why the plague broke out in Jizhou.
Along the way, there were many corpses on the side of the road, some of them were rotten, and some of them were torn and eaten half by some kind of animal that was enough or not.
The flies on the corpse were densely packed, and people got goosebumps when they saw it.
There are even some unknown small flying insects.
It looks small, but the bite on the skin is surprisingly painful.
Once you bite into it, a red rash will immediately appear.
Some of the disciples of Qingmen Valley have been recruited.
However, when Shen Qingshuang found out, he immediately gave him a pill.
And they were all wearing masks and were not infected.
Because Zhou Mingshuai, the governor, fled, Jizhou can be said to be in chaos.
The county magistrates of several small counties in Jizhou were also infected with the plague.
The entire Jizhou can now be said to be full of corpses.
As soon as I entered the city, I heard a very unpleasant and pungent smell.
Master Yuanhong covered his mouth and nose under the mask with his hand and looked at Shen Qingshuang, "Master, is there no one to take care of so many corpses?" ”
"Let's go find the county magistrate in this county!"
The county town has become almost empty.
Except for the cracked earth and the corpses, there was not a single figure.
Shen Qingshuang and the others didn't want to find someone to ask for directions.
After walking for a while, he saw a group of officials approaching.
Master Yuanhong hurriedly walked over and inquired, "Where is your leisure?" ”
When the officials saw that they were carrying medicine boxes, they knew that they were also doctors.
Stretch out your hand and point behind your left, "Go all the way to the fork in the road and turn right." ”
"Okay, thank you."
There are already doctors in this county town, who are examining the people who have been infected with the plague and have been quarantined.
The people who contracted the plague were also divided into severe and mild.
It is necessary to separate the more serious from the minor in order to prescribe the right medicine.
When Shen Qingshuang and the others arrived at the county office, they saw the county order coming out of the back office with a white face.
"Lord Prefectural, we are doctors from the capital......"
