Chapter 209: Jiyuan County Encounters Plague
Sure enough, the journey after that was much smoother, and occasionally someone wanted to step forward to climb the relationship, and they would be reminded to see Tong Zhenghui tied to the roof of the car, and for a while everyone couldn't understand what kind of person the county lord of Qingping was, and no one dared to come forward again.
After Lin Xiaoman saw that he was scared, he asked Lu Jin to let Tong Zhenghui go, as long as he didn't bother her, she didn't care so much about whether he was greedy or not, and how much he was greedy. He should be convicted by the person who cares about him, and when she first arrived in the capital, she really didn't want to be too shocked.
Tong Zhenghui was put down from the carriage, and after kowtowing a few times, he got up and ran away.
But because of this incident, the reputation of the county lord of Qingping who didn't like to be disturbed spread, and no one dared to bump into it again.
Seeing that they would be able to reach the capital in less than five days, Lin Xiaoman and others chose a county seat called Jiyuan County to settle down.
As soon as you enter the city, you can feel that the atmosphere in the city does not seem to be right, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally you see people coming and going, and they are all in a hurry, and cover their mouths and noses with cloth sleeves.
Lu Jin called his subordinates to inquire about the situation, and after a short time to inquire, he came back, but there was a plague in the city, and hundreds of people had died in just a few days.
Lu Jin was shocked when he heard this, if it was really a plague, wouldn't this person escape and bring the plague out? What is the county magistrate of Jiyuan County thinking? Why don't you close the gates of the city to prevent the plague from spreading?
As soon as he wanted to go to the county government to find the county magistrate to inquire about the matter, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured into the city, and after entering the city, the city gate was closed, and a checkpoint was set up to prevent people from entering and leaving the city.
Lu Jin sighed helplessly, what kind of luck are they? If the city gate is not sealed in the morning, and the city gate is not sealed in the evening, it will not be sealed until they enter the city, so he has to suspect that someone is watching them enter the city before sealing the city.
Fortunately, those officers and soldiers only restricted the entry and exit of people in the city, but did not restrict their activities in the city, so Lu Jin could only take people to find an inn to live in first.
Because of the plague rampant in the city, all those who could run in the city ran away, and those who could not run did not go out, and those who had already received the letter would not enter the city, and the inn was empty, and it was said that the shopkeeper and the rest of the men were sick, and only one man stayed in the inn, but the hotel did not include three meals a day.
Lu Jin and his party didn't expect a man's inn to provide food, anyway, they all brought ingredients in the car.
In the afternoon, there were officers and soldiers outside who struck the gong and asked the people in the city to go to the nearest city gate to drink medicine, saying that it was Prime Minister Xu's granddaughter who was administering medicine in the city.
Lin Xiaoman frowned after hearing this, originally only some people in the city were infected, so if they gathered like this, wouldn't everyone be infected?
I wanted to walk around the city, but this time I didn't have the idea.
Let people get lime and sprinkle it around the inn, and buy a lot of vinegar to burn in the inn, and for a while the inn was full of vinegar inside and out.
As for the plague in the city, she was not too alarmed, she had already seen in the book, and many of the plagues of this era were minor diseases in later generations, and they could be cured by taking a few pills.
Although Prime Minister Xu's granddaughter is not considerate, her heart is good, maybe she will gather everyone together to receive medicine, and she also has the confidence that she can cure the disease.
In the evening, there was a commotion outside the inn, there were people shouting to save the living Bodhisattva, Lin Xiaoman ran to the front and looked away from the crowd, a twenty-eight-year-old girl sat in the car, waved to the people kneeling on both sides of the road, and the smile on her face has been gentle.
Lin Xiaoman's face was sour when he saw it, sure enough, she was a noble girl raised by a wealthy family, and after changing her, she kept smiling like this, and her face stiffened.
However, whether Miss Xu is for show or really to save people, she is worthy of praise for wanting to save people at this time.
It's just that obviously the medicine that Miss Xu took out was not very effective. In the next two days, there was still news from time to time that someone had died again, and paper money was floating everywhere in the city.
Those who died because they had the plague were dragged out of the city and burned.
People who were not infected also fell ill one after another, and Lin Xiaoman felt that the biggest possibility was that he heard that there was a cure for the disease, and he flocked to get it regardless of whether he was sick or not, and they were all infected.
For a time, the people in the city were even more panicked, and the crying continued all day and night.
Lin Xiaoman originally thought that Miss Xu's medicine would cure people, but who knew that after waiting for a few days, this was the result, listening to the crying and coughing all night, Lin Xiaoman thought, since she was encountered, she couldn't really do nothing.
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoman discussed with Lu Jin, "The city can't get out, and we can't sit still, in case the plague is serious, we will not be spared." I want to go out for a walk and see what kind of plague it is, and if I can find a cure, I can protect myself while curing the disease. ”
Lu Jin wanted to say no, she was not Langzhong, how could she find a cure for the disease, but thinking of the secret she had not hidden, maybe she could really have a way, so she said: "It's okay to go, I'll go with you." ”
Lin Xiaoman thought about it and didn't refuse, if she was really unfortunate enough to be infected, she just went to the hospital over there to take a look and see what medicine could be cured, so she bought more medicine and brought it back.
Lin Xiaoman found a guy and asked him which family in the neighborhood had the plague? The guy wrenched his hands and counted for a while, and Lin Xiaoman found that they were surrounded by the plague in front and back, and even the guy had to cough twice when he spoke.
At the end, the guy smiled bitterly, "Miss, this plague is too fierce, you see that I was fine a few days ago, and I also contracted it, and I don't know if I can survive." ”
After speaking, he covered his face and cried, which showed that he was very afraid.
Lin Xiaoman saw him crying and coughing, and hurriedly handed him a glass of water, "You drink saliva to moisten." ”
The guy took a sip of the water, and he was still coughing when he drank the water, but after drinking the water, he slowly got better.
Lin Xiaoman asked him to go back to rest, and after saying hello to Lu Jin, he took the teacup he had drunk back to the house.
Lu Jin was worried outside, and came over to knock on the door from time to time, but no one responded inside, Lu Jin could only sigh and go back to the house, unable to do anything, which made him very frustrated.
At this time, Lin Xiaoman had already gone over there through the cabinet door.
The door of the wardrobe was placed in the corner of the back alley of a shopping mall, with a lot of sundries piled up in front, and it happened to be a monitoring dead end.
Registered, asked the doctor to issue a bill, and did a laboratory test on the cup that the guy had just drunk water.
After more than half an hour, I got the test results, which was a small threatening influenza virus, and the doctor prescribed medicine and asked Lin Xiaoman to go back and give the patient two pills a day, and he would be cured in a few days.
She was also asked to buy some banlan root powder for people who came into contact with the patient to drink, for modern people, this flu virus is not very contagious, and most people will not be infected if they do not do it without protection.
