Chapter 596: The Plague Begins
These fences and traps can also prevent outsiders from entering Lujia Village.
In ancient times, this was the best method of isolation.
In addition, it is necessary to see if the people in the village have any signs of illness.
The symptoms are the same as those of domestic animals, with a fever and then a gradual weakening of the body.
Because of He Zao's warning, He Laosan and they took precautions early, and so far, no one has been found to be sick in the village.
However, a few people suffered from heat stroke, lay dizzy in bed, and after a few days they were emaciated.
Lu Lizheng came to discuss with He Zao whether these people should be quarantined.
After all, none of them knew if the plague would happen and how, any symptoms were possible!
Different from other places, the people in this part of Guyang City still have fresh memories because they have suffered major disasters, and they know that once drought and plague occur, people will die, so they are all panicked and can't do anything to settle down.
Such a thing, how dare He Zao make a decision.
She had only used some of the experience she had learned from her previous life, and she was not a doctor who was proficient in medicine.
She said very calmly: "It's better to ask Dr. Huang, he is a doctor, and he knows more than us." ”
Lu Lizheng suddenly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly walked towards Dr. Huang with his feet.
Dr. Huang is not from Wuxian Town, and his family has suffered hardship, and he only moved to Wuxian Town many years ago, and he has a strange temperament, he is old, but he doesn't even talk about his daughter-in-law, so he spends his days alone, and likes to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and he doesn't like to get along with people.
At first, the villagers didn't like him.
After the event, I saw that he was a good doctor, although he didn't like to talk, but his mouth was also very strict, he didn't say right and wrong, and his heart was soft.
People's hearts are flesh and blood, and gradually they regard Dr. Huang as a person from the village, and they have a good relationship with him.
The people in the village also believed in him very much. After hearing him say that these people were not contagious, they were all relieved.
In this way, it has continued for more than half a month, not a drop of rain has fallen in the sky, the high temperature still continues, and there has been turmoil in many places.
The same is true for Lujia Village, where there is no shortage of water.
They originally had an abundant source of water, and the groundwater was not too abundant, but they drilled a well more than ten meters deep and came out of the water, and they had an even richer source of living water, and there were several ready-made sources in the mountains.
Well water one or twenty meters deep is not very safe in such dry weather, so the He family has stored water early.
After a few strong laborers had finished their work of marinating the donkey meat, they took advantage of the fact that it was not so hot in the evening, and began to fetch a pool for the family with their arms.
At this time, the farmers were all large wells, and few people dug ponds for their own houses.
The pond is on the edge of the field, and it is only a rough dig. As long as you can store water, the silt is all over the place, but it is drinkable.
The pond dug by He Sanfang's family is more than seven meters deep and eight meters wide, and there is basically half a yard, so it is dug in the backyard of Sanfang. Finally, the cement was plastered, and it was dried in the day, and by the evening, the pond had already been filled with water from the mountain.
The water in this pool, if used sparingly, is enough for the family to use until the New Year.
There is also water from my own well, which can be sustained for a long time.
Seeing that there is such a big movement in He Sanfang's house, other families are also very excited, anyway, it is a long day, and it is a high temperature, so it is better to dig a pond for our family at night to store water.
In this way, more than 100 of the more than 200 households in a village dug ponds, of different sizes, and then those close to the back mountain directly brought water over, and those farther away also carried water to their homes one by one.
Of course, there are also those who sit on the sidelines.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they watched, half a month later, the weather was even drier, and after turmoil broke out everywhere, something happened in Lujia Village.
It's not anything else, but the lack of water in Zezhou Mansion, which cuts off the source of the water that flows from the mountain and the mountains and mountains, and the perennial clear water in front of Lujia Village becomes very small that day, and after a few days, it will not flow at all.
Those in the village who had been watching and did not take action in time were dumbfounded.
There will be no water in the well, and this living water will stop again, but what will we do?
Anyway, it can support it for a while
There were many people who were dissatisfied with the swearing, but there was no real turmoil.
Until the end of this month, that is, in September, it is usually the time of the autumn tiger, and at this time, the high temperature has not gone down.
The news of the plague spread from the south to the north.
There are many more people fleeing on the official road.
There was also a plague in Huaiqing Province, but not as much as elsewhere.
When a refugee arrived in Huaiqing Mansion, he sent a doctor to examine their bodies, and if they found similar symptoms, whether they were or not, they were sent to the isolated place that had been differentiated, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter the city, so a simple shanty town was set up outside the city for these people to live in, and then some porridge and food were distributed every day, and some water was distributed so that they would not have trouble.
Although this method has the indifference of the superior, it can be regarded as isolating the pathogen from the healthy person to the greatest extent.
Several villages around Lujia Village have also heard that there are already people infected with the plague, and there is even another village that has been infected with the plague.
They are located in a remote area, far away from the prefecture and county, and the people of the yamen cannot manage these places, so they can only rely on the local lizheng and squires to maintain law and order.
It is also thanks to the fact that Lujia Village is very well defended on weekdays, and so far, there has not been a single case of people infected with the plague.
After more than half a month, after He Zao finished his own affairs, he wholeheartedly helped Lu Li to take precautions.
Not only did they take precautions, but they also taught the villagers some of the most basic hygiene knowledge, so that they had to use boiling water to wash all the food and utensils with boiling water for three meals a day. You should also pay attention to hygiene and bathe frequently every day. If you go out, you must wear the kind of cotton mask she sends out.
The mask is only the size of a palm, and it doesn't cost any cloth, He has long used a cotton horse at home that is old in color but good in quality and medium in thickness, and cut it into the shape of a mask.
She explained all the precautions clearly, and made a few points about the consequences that would arise if she didn't do what she said.
At that time, there were already people dying of fever, and the people in the village were also afraid, but they obeyed.
Even if he didn't obey, Lu Lizheng also arranged for capable daughters-in-law to come and go in the village every day, urging the villagers, if anyone didn't follow the rules, then they had to say a meal and then report to Lu Lizheng. It is at the disposal of Lurie.
