Chapter 43: Infection
This small village is like a source of the virus, and once the people in the village disperse, the plague will spread further.
The night was dark, the moon was hiding in the clouds, and only a few lone stars twinkled in the sky.
The group traveled for more than an hour at night before coming to a halt behind a leeward dirt slope.
After a long drive today, everyone was tired and hungry, dragging their heavy limbs and not even wanting to move any more.
The men silently went to collect firewood and came back, built a bonfire, and everyone ate a little dry food, hastily packed up their things and prepared to sleep.
Shen Xinyue called a few younger sisters together and set up a simple tent with branches and oilcloth bought during the day.
Sleeping in it can more or less protect against the wind and cold.
Finally, sprinkle white ash all around.
Although Mrs. Shen and a few small people lived in a tent for the first time, they were too tired, so they fell asleep not long after lying down.
However, while everyone was asleep, someone in the team began to heat up......
Late at night, in the wilderness where you couldn't see your fingers, a group of more than a dozen people rode quickly towards the direction of Jiyun County.
"Young master, Your Majesty has summoned you to return to Beijing quickly, Zhao Yan's death, Your Majesty doesn't know what to do with you." Chang Ping said with some concern.
"He's already angry, and he's not bad at that." Lu Zhong grabbed the reins, and his dark clothes almost blended into the night.
Chang An: "Mr. Zheng of the Medical Valley is known as the medical immortal, and this time he appeared near Jiyun Town, and it was a rare opportunity. General Lu's legs are all up to him, maybe he can find out the cause of Zhao Yan's death. ”
Zhao Yan's sudden death broke the clue that had just made some progress. And Lu Zhong will be in a more difficult situation because of this matter.
"I hope so."
Lu Zhong slapped the horsewhip hard, and the war horse under his crotch rushed forward like a sword off the string.
Others also unconsciously sped up......
"What the hell is going on? It was fine before going to bed last night. ”
"Our family is the same, I woke up early this morning with a sallow face, vomiting and diarrhea and no strength, it can't be that I passed by Xiaowa Village yesterday and contracted the plague, right?"
Shen Xinyue listened to the discussion outside and opened her eyes.
Looking sideways, Mrs. Shen and the twins were not there, and only Shen Yingyue and the youngest Shen Jiyue were left.
The two men were curled up, their faces flushed unusually.
Shen Xinyue's expression changed slightly, and she raised her hand to poke into the foreheads of her two younger sisters.
"Big sister, I'm so thirsty~"
Shen Jiyue muttered, her voice as small as a kitten.
Shen Yingyue barely opened her eyes, and there was a hint of weakness in her voice: "Eldest sister, are you all up?" ”
As she spoke, she also sat up with her body propped up, but she felt lightheaded, and her throat was dry and stinging.
"If you feel uncomfortable, lie down for a while, and I'll go get you some medicine and water."
Shen Xinyue got up and walked out of the tent as she spoke, and saw Mrs. Shen and the twins hurrying over.
"Your uncle's orchid is sick, and the five uncles' small sects and ingots are also vomiting and diarrhea, and the situation is not very good."
"Milk, the full moon and the season moon are not very good."
When Mrs. Shen heard that her two granddaughters were also sick, she hurriedly went into the tent to check.
Shen Xinyue walked to the mule cart with the basket on his back, fetched a little water, and then took a little pill from the space to control wind chill and clear heat and detoxify.
She doesn't know how to see a doctor, so she can only try to take some medicine that she thinks is still symptomatic.
In addition to giving two small ones to eat, he also took some and sent them to the other three.
When they all took the medicine, everyone got together and began to discuss countermeasures.
"I've asked the boss to go ahead to see if there is a village, and now the most important thing is to find a Langzhong first. Don't worry, everyone, we just passed by the edge of the village, probably not, it will be fine. ”
Looking at the old girl's weak face, Shen Dacheng could only try to comfort himself, but looking at everyone's state, he was not sure if he was really infected with the plague.
"Whether it's or not, it's best to be careful. Symptomatic people drink plenty of water, and vomit and excrement are buried on the spot and sprinkled with a layer of lime. In addition, everyone should try to avoid too much contact and cover their mouth and nose. ”
Shen Xinyue tried her best to tell everyone the precautions she knew.
It didn't take long for Shen Fu'an, who had gone to the front to inquire about the situation, to come back quickly.
He brought a total of two messages, one good news and one bad news.
"There is a waterfront village in front of me, and I heard that there is a Langzhong who has very good medical skills. It's just that there are a lot of people there, and everyone rushed over when they heard the news, and I don't know if he will give Xiaomei a medical treatment. ”
"As long as he can cure my family's ingots, I will give him as much as he wants, and he can be a cow or a horse." He opened his mouth wide and hugged his son, looking worried.
"Let's get over there." Shen Xinyue picked up Shen Jiyue, and the twins helped Shen Yingyue to get on the mule cart.
A few other sick ones were also placed on the mule cart.
Everyone packed up their things and silently followed behind the car.
At this moment, the team of fifty or sixty people seemed unusually silent at this moment.
After walking about five or six miles, there were many more pedestrians on the road at once.
Some are alone, dragging half of their bodies and struggling to move forward, and some are supporting each other.
Everyone heard that there was a man with good medical skills in Linshui Village, and he was free of charge for medical treatment, so they rushed over.
When the group found Na Langzhong's residence, the people waiting for the consultation had already been far away.
In the courtyard, two little medicine boys with cloth towels on their faces were busy taking care of the wounded, and two medicine stoves were burning under the eaves, and the heat was bubbling from above.
"Today's number of people is full, so let's take advantage of it tomorrow."
Just as they were about to line up for Shen Xinyue and them, one of the medicine boys said a word through the courtyard gate, turned around and wanted to go back.
When the people behind heard this, they were very disappointed, and some pleaded loudly, but the other party was indifferent.
"This little brother, please wait a minute."
Shen Xinyue walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, saw the other party stop, and discussed: "The sick people in our team are all children, and I am afraid that we will suffer a lot of sins tomorrow, I see that it is still early, can you be accommodating, let Mr. give us a look first?" ”
It had only been a long time before Shen Yingyue, who was in the car, turned pale and had some difficulty breathing.
Shen Xinyue was so anxious that she could only ask for help.
Mrs. Shen also begged: "Yes, please little brother, let's take a look at the child first." ”
The medicine boy glanced at the few children in the car, went back to the yard in embarrassment, and came out again not long after, shaking his head helplessly towards Shen Xinyue and them.
"Master said that rules are rules, and besides, he still has a lot to do, so be patient and wait."
"Can we wait, can the child wait? Oh my ingots! He threw himself at his son's side with his mouth wide open and broke down and cried.
Shen Xinyue retreated: "If it doesn't work, tell me the prescription, let's prepare some medicine ourselves." ”
"This ......" the little medicine boy was embarrassed: "Master said that this illness is very special, and he still needs to think carefully about one or two, so you should wait patiently." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
