Under the busy work of Mrs. Gu, the first batch of work clothes in the soap workshop officially began to be made.

The old lady asked the group of girls in the village who knew how to embroider to help cut and sew the cloth, not for nothing, and naturally they would be paid.

These days, there are quite a few merchants who come to pick up and order every day.

Shopkeeper Wang sits and entertains guests at Gu Qing's house every day, and has officially taken up his post.

He used to talk to the guests in the ancestral teahouse every day, and he didn't get a penny in the account at the end of the day, and he was worried all day long, for fear of offending the guests.

But now, these businessmen are very low-minded, and they speak to him very politely.

He talked to these people, he could say whatever he wanted, and these people gave him face very much, and chatted casually with his topic.

The shopkeeper Wang took a sip of tea, this is the life he wants.

"All the way here, there are displaced people everywhere......," a merchant sighed, "I heard that the city gate of Dahe County will be closed in two days, the waterway is impassable, and the land route is too dangerous, I'm afraid I won't be able to order and pick up the goods again this year......

Shopkeeper Wang said: "I came out of Youshui Town this morning, and I also encountered three or four scattered groups of displaced people, and I'm afraid Youshui County will not be able to hold on." ”

Gu Qing knew that the further he went, the more serious the situation would be.

She said slowly: "Soap is a consumable, ordinary people use it once, they will buy it for the second and third time, it is nothing more than the difference between earning more and earning less, after you pick up the goods this time, wait for the matter of the displaced people to be solved and come again, in case something happens along the way, it will not be good." ”

The merchants nodded.

Their families are not bad, and they can't take risks for this money.

In the past years, as long as there are displaced people, the society will be turbulent, and the displaced people will become disasters and gather into bandits.

After the merchants picked up their goods and ordered them to disperse, Gu Qing's mood was a little heavy.

At night, Yang Pei and Zhu Han came back, and the two of them were busy in the city every day, leaving early and returning late, and they knew the situation in the city best.

"The county magistrate set up a porridge shed outside the city, and he had two meals of gruel a day." Yang Pei opened his mouth and said, "There is a ruined temple outside the city, the temple is full of homeless homeless people, it is too miserable, those homeless people wear little clothes, most of them are sick, and they don't know if they can survive the past......

Gu Qing frowned: "Sick? ”

Yang Pei nodded: "I saw a woman holding a child, the child was red, it should be a high fever...... I knew I couldn't help openly, so I led her to an alley and gave her some money to take the baby to the doctor...... But there are so many sick people that I can't help everyone. ”

Gu Qing was shocked in his heart.

She seemed to have overlooked something very important.

Yang Pei was sick three days ago, and two days ago, Gu Xiumei's son was sick, and so many homeless people in the city were sick......

Therefore, she was wrong in her prediction, she thought that the homeless people were bringing chaos, but she didn't expect that they would bring the flu virus......

Yang Pei often goes to the city, and it is not uncommon for him to get the flu, but Gu Xiumei's son is still a child, and he only studies in the village school on weekdays, and he has very little contact with outsiders, so he can also be infected...... From this point of view, the virus brought by the displaced people is highly contagious.

However, all this is just her guess, and whether this is the case or not needs to be seen again.

"Brother Yang, Xiaohan, from now on, you two don't go to the city again." Gu Qing opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that the homeless people will enter the city to rob, and the dessert shops and restaurants will be closed first, and then open after the homeless people are dealt with." ”

The two nodded.

Gu Qing continued: "Yu'er, you go boil water, I'll boil some medicine for you to drink later, and send some to Grandpa and Grandma." ”

In modern times, if you want to prevent influenza, it is better to take antiviral oral liquid, banlangen granules, and ammonia golden yellow granules under the guidance of a doctor.

But the oral liquid and granules here are not easy to explain, and the only thing that can be taken out openly is Banlangen.

Banlangen protects against the flu and viruses, she has to drink it three times a day, and she doesn't want to make anyone in her family sick again.

At night, Gu Qing just fell asleep.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the house, causing three wolf dogs to whine and bark in the yard.

Yang Pei and several people lived in the front yard, and when they heard the movement, Yang Pei put on his clothes and went to open the door, it was Gu Xiumei and her man.

"Yang Tongsheng, go and ask your lady, can you lend us the carriage, my son is not working......" Gu Xiumei broke down and cried, "His fever can't go down, it's getting more and more frightening, he has convulsions, he can't feed anything, Langzhong in the village said that he can't be cured, and he has to go to the doctor in the city......"

is pleading.

Tian Chunlin suddenly broke in and shouted in the direction of the backyard: "Gu Niangzi, Tie Dan has a fever, full of nonsense, Lang Zhong said that he can't save it, can you borrow a carriage ......"

A big man, about to collapse.

Gu Qing put on her clothes and walked out, and as soon as she came out of the house, the cold wind of the night swept in, and she couldn't help but shiver.

She said: "At night, the city gate is closed, and the doctor can't be found, so let's take the two children to the Gu family ancestral hall, bring a few more quilts, and use tables and chairs." ”

Gu Xiumei was also sick, her face was also sickly red, and when the night wind blew, it seemed that she was about to fall down.

Gu Qing realized that things might be more serious than she imagined.

She said in a deep voice: "Two days ago, Brother Yang also suddenly had high fever and convulsions, and his illness was quite serious. This person is sick, you can't be too close, if you don't want the whole family to be sick, you have to listen to me, take the two children to the ancestral hall and separate them separately, Sister Xiumei, you are also sick, you are temporarily responsible for taking care of it for a night. ”

Gu Xiumei wiped the tears from her face.

She is an ordinary village woman who doesn't understand anything, and at this time, she should listen to smart people.

The Xiumei man nodded: "I'll go back and carry the child to the ancestral hall." ”

Tian Chunlin said in a deep voice: "I'll go too." ”

Gu Qing entered the house, put on another thick dress for himself, and then walked towards Lizheng's house.

Zhao Dashan lit a torch and led the way in front.

At night, Gujia Village is quiet, Lizheng's home is also quiet, and the restless cries of chickens and ducks are occasionally heard in the backyard.

Yang Pei knocked on the door hard.

Gu Anhe rubbed his eyes and walked out: "Brother Yang, why are you here, my sister-in-law is also here, come in quickly......"

Originally, he hadn't woken up yet, but with Gu Qing's solemn appearance, the drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly entered the house and woke up.

Li Zheng put on his clothes and walked out, and hurriedly asked, "Gu Niangzi, what's going on?" ”

I came to find someone in the middle of the night, and I knew with my toes that this matter must be very serious.

"Aunt Lizheng, this time the displaced people should have contracted the plague and spread here from the south." Gu Qing made a long story short, "There are already three or four people in our village who are sick with high fever, and there may be more ...... tomorrow."

Li Zheng slapped his thigh: "There are three people who patrol during the day, and when I asked, I said that I was sick and asked for leave...... Gu Niangzi, you came here in the middle of the night, do you already have a charter, what you say, I will do it, this is a major matter of human life, no joke. ”

Gu Qing nodded: "First of all, people from other villages are forbidden to enter Gujia Village, and all work that intersects with other villages will be stopped......

Gujia Village has a population of more than 1,000 people, which sounds like a lot, but they are all local farmers, and it is not difficult to manage.

During this time, due to the lack of manpower, Li Zheng invited people from other villages to help, resulting in fresh faces in the village from time to time.

Blocking all people from outside the village, and prohibiting everyone in the village from entering the city again, should prevent the spread of the plague.

"Ask Langzhong if there is a medicinal herb with the flavor of banlan root, if not, you may have to arrange someone to go to the city and buy more back, banlan root is not enough, use honeysuckle, forsythia and astragalus to boil into medicinal juice, everyone in the village must drink some."

The medicine boiled from honeysuckle forsythia and skullcap is called double coptis, and both of these drugs have strong antiviral properties.

After all, she is a person who has been in modern society, although she does not understand medicine, but she also knows some basic drug knowledge, and the contagious colds are mostly viral colds, and if the virus is too strong, it becomes the flu, which is not cured for a long time, spreads, and evolves into a large-scale infectious disease.

Most of these displaced people are afraid that they will starve, freeze to death, and die of disease on the road, and many of the remaining ones should have developed antibodies.

This disease is mainly a high fever, and to treat this disease, you must first reduce the fever and then kill the virus, and if you use the wrong method, it will only make the disease more and more serious.

"When you go to the city to buy medicine, you have to arrange for a strong man to go in a carriage, you must cover your mouth and nose with a cloth, try not to have direct contact with anyone on the street, and after returning to the village, you must quarantine for three days before you can go home." Gu Qing said with a serious face, "I'll let Brother Yang lead the team, and Lizheng will arrange two more people here." ”

Yang Pei had an illness three days ago, and there will be some antibodies in his body, as long as the flu virus has not evolved, he will not be infected again.

Moreover, the family drinks banlangen every day, and the resistance is also relatively good, although she feels sorry for her family, but at this time, someone must stand up, otherwise, the entire Gujia Village will be affected.

Next, Gu Qing also told Li Zheng some details that must be paid attention to, and the two talked for more than an hour before it was over.

When I walked back, the sky was already white.

Gu Qing walked lightly to the ancestral hall, stood outside and saw Gu Xiumei lying on the table asleep, and the two children were sleeping on a bed frame, which should have just been moved, and both of them had wet towels on their foreheads.

She put on a medical mask, then covered her face with a cloth, and then walked in.

It's still ibuprofen, and the two of them each fed some, and the fever reduction patch is forgotten, this thing is not easy to explain.

As she was moving, Gu Xiumei woke up: "Gu Niangzi, why did you come in, go out quickly, be careful of your illness." ”

Gu Qing took out a bowl from the locker in the mall and brought it out from behind him: "This is the medicine I boiled, Sister Xiumei is about to drink it, I have already fed the two of them." ”

Gu Xiumei thanked her and drank a bowl of medicine cleanly.

Maybe it's because her son is sick, she hasn't had a fever, but she has survived, and her spirit is okay.

Gu Qing didn't stay any longer, and when she walked out, she washed her hands with the disinfectant in the locker, and then she dared to walk into her door.

After such a toss, the sky is bright.

Although Gu Qing was very tired, a bunch of things had not been resolved, and she couldn't sleep.

The patrol people got up early to patrol the village, and they were summoned by Li Zheng for a meeting under the big locust tree.

"Starting today, the soap workshop in the village, building houses, all work will be suspended, and the school will be suspended!" Li Zheng said loudly, "Now, in pairs, guard every entrance in the village, and without the order of me and Gu Niangzi, no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go out!" ”

The patrols were stunned.

"Why aren't you allowed to go out?"

"I'm going to go to the city to buy meat later, didn't I get paid yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, I'm going to get medicine for my mother."

No one agreed with such a decision.

The face was serious, and he said word by word: "Last night, Gu Stick'er and Gu Tiedan had a high fever and almost lost their lives, you must have heard about it." I discussed it with Gu Niangzi, and we both thought that it was because of the homeless people in the city, this disease was too violent, and there was no way for the langzhong in the village, and if it was infected, it was waiting for death! ”

They are all from the same village, and what happened last night is naturally known to some people, one to ten, ten to hundred, and everyone knows that those two children are very sick.

However, no one expected that it would be so serious.

Gu Tiedan's body was as strong as a calf, and he even said that he was sick......

"We don't know the specifics at the moment, but we can't sit idly by." Gu Qing stood beside Li Zheng and said with a cold face, "You patrol in Gujia Village and are responsible for protecting everyone in the village...... It is the mission of each of you to protect us from being harassed by the homeless people and to protect us from being tormented by evil diseases, and it is precisely because of you that Gujia Village can be peaceful and quiet, and it will get better and better! Therefore, Li Zheng and I hope that you can continue to fulfill your own mission! ”

In the past six months, Gujia Village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the surrounding villages such as Sunjia Village, Dongjia Village, and Lijiagou have long been left far behind.

Looking back on every transcendence, it has an inseparable relationship with Gu Niangzi.

"Yes! Mission accomplished! ”

"Mission accomplished! Protect Gujia Village! ”

The people below stomped their feet and shouted in unison, and the sound alarmed the sparrows in the big locust tree, and the sparrows flew in all directions in fright.

Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Liu Fugui, you take a few people to visit the whole village, who has a sick person, whether it is an old or weak woman or a child, take it directly to the ancestral hall for isolation, and have a tough attitude, but not rude, do you remember it?" ”

Liu Fugui straightened his back: "Yes, Lizheng!" ”

Gu Qing opened his voice and said loudly: "In half an hour, someone in the village will go to the city to purchase, and those who need to buy materials will go to my house to register, and they will help buy it back." ”

This time, the people who went to the city to purchase arranged three, Yang Pei, Gu Anhe, and Gu Youliang.

This is the Gu family's Gu family village, and the family's surname is Gu, so in the face of danger, Li Zheng gives priority to letting the Gu family's men go up.

Mo Li put down the book, walked out and said, "Family master, I'll go with you." ”

The people in the city are still running around, which means that Shen Xianling did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and it is not known how many people in the city are sick.

The outcasts are coming, the plague is spreading, and if left unchecked, something big will happen.

Gu Qing frowned, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, then you go along." ”

Mo Li also took a lot of banlan root, and his body's resistance should be okay.

Mo Li was overjoyed, and immediately picked up a mask from the table and put it on.

This is the linen mask that Gu Qing bought in the mall, and the middle compartment is sewn with a meltblown cloth to protect against the virus, which is much better than simply covering a layer of cloth.

She plans to send it to the people patrolling the village, and during the critical period, the key means must be used.

She was about to tell Ergou and Shen Zheng to be careful when they went to the city, when she saw Dong Rong talking on the side.

She knew what he was thinking, and said slowly: "You are not allowed to go, Ah Li will go to the city this time, and he will report the seriousness of the matter to the county magistrate, and the lord will definitely issue a decree to stop the spread of the plague......"

Dong Rong saw the worry in Gu Qing's eyes, and couldn't help nodding and said, "I understand what the head of the family means, I'll go to help take care of the patients these days......"
