Chapter 208: A New Breakthrough
The merger of the two institutes, although everyone's opinions are unified, the sharp increase in patients every day and the serious shortage of manpower make Jiang Wanning worried.
The healers rotated day and night, without rest, and even their iron-beaten bodies could not survive.
Jiang Wanning had to go to Cui Guzhou to stop and ask him to find someone from outside who had pox to help as soon as possible.
As a result, Gu Zhouzhu told her even worse news.
Of the 13 isolation sites outside, seven have seen pox patients, and two are out of control.
Now that we have begun to recruit doctors from the private sector and doctors from the surrounding areas of the capital, I don't know how many people we can recruit.
In this way, Jiang Wanning's plan to ask for someone failed.
The only good news is that Luming Academy is still safe, and as long as it survives another five days, no one will get sick and can be released from isolation.
"Wanning, you give me an explanation, can this pox epidemic be controlled?" Gu Zhou didn't rest much for several days, and his eyes were bloodshot.
No matter how hard he worked, he was not afraid, what he was afraid of was that more and more people would be infected and more and more people would die.
Jiang Wanning said: "We have isolated all the people who may carry pox for the first time, the possibility of large-scale infection is already very small, and my treatment plan can greatly reduce the fatality rate of pox, but the premise is that there are enough people, and we are afraid that we will not be able to take care of many cases." ”
In other words, if the problem of lack of manpower cannot be solved, then many people will still die.
Gu Zhou stopped his mind and twitched, this matter is not something he can control, it depends on the emperor.
Jiang Wanning returned to the isolation center and stared at the long list of patients.
Ji Yunchen's action to track down the main messenger of poisoning was also frustrated.
In the past few days, he has almost searched the capital, but he still hasn't been able to find that person.
It was as if the man didn't exist.
Then there are only two possibilities, one is that this person is hiding, and he is hiding deeply; The second is that Widow Li lied, and the portrait did not match the real person.
So Ji Yunchen turned his gaze back to Widow Li.
According to the neighbors of Widow Li in Kangning Fang, Widow Li had a good friend, and someone once saw a man entering and leaving Widow Li's house at night.
Widow Li's son became someone else's son-in-law, so Widow Li lived alone.
Ji Yunchen found Widow Li's son and threatened him that if he couldn't persuade Widow Li to recruit the person who instructed her, he would throw his family into the quarantine center.
Widow Li's son went to prison and threatened him with death, but Widow Li finally relented and said the man's name, Peng Xuewu, a coachman, who delivered wine to Guiyun Winery.
Ji Yunchen immediately rushed to Guiyun Winery, and when he asked, Peng Xuewu hadn't appeared for several days.
Widow Li has not been seen since the day she was arrested, and no one has seen him.
Ji Yunchen brought the guys from Guiyun Winery to Gu Zhouzhu again, he needed a new portrait.
Gu Zhouzhu and Jiang Wanning didn't expect that they were actually deceived by Widow Li, and so many people were tricked by Widow Li.
got the new portrait, Ji Yunchen couldn't wait to find someone.
Gu Zhou stopped him.
"Hasn't Zheng Guan come back yet?"
Ji Yunchen shook his head: "No news yet." ”
Gu Zhouzhu was a little worried, Zheng Guan followed Hong Zeshan and those people away, and it had been almost ten days.
Ji Yunchen saw Gu Zhouzhu's worries, and comforted: "You don't have to worry, Zheng Guan is the most clever, plus Gao Shi is with him, even if there is an accident, it is still no problem to escape, it should be that the location where those people moved is a little far away, and they can't come back for a while." ”
"I know, be careful yourself, this Peng Xuewu is definitely not the mastermind, they dare to make such a big move in the capital, and their power should not be underestimated."
"Okay, you and Jiang Niangzi should also be careful, now you are in front of the battle, and the enemy is as fierce as a ghost, you must take care."
If he could, Ji Yunchen really wanted to give Gu Zhouzhu a hug, he knew that Gu Zhouzhu was the most tormented person.
Unfortunately, a barrier is like an insurmountable chasm.
All he can do is catch the culprit of this disaster as soon as possible.
learned from Guiyun Winery that Peng Xuewu was good at gambling, so Ji Yunchen looked for it from one gambling house to another.
Because of the pox epidemic, the gambling house is currently not allowed to open, and Shen Jingshan is bored and teasing the birds in the backyard.
His subordinates reported: "Master Shen, an official messenger came just now to find Peng Xuewu." ”
Shen Jingshan's eyebrows frowned, but Peng Xuewu was still exposed.
"What did you say?"
"The little one said he hadn't been to the gambling house for a while, and he didn't know anything else."
Shen Jingshan bowed slightly: "Let's go down." ”
After his men left, Shen Jingshan walked to the pigeon loft, grabbed a pigeon, helped a red ribbon on the pigeon's paws, and released it.
On the eighth day of the outbreak of the pox epidemic, 20 doctors finally arrived at the quarantine center, some of whom were transferred from the medical office near the capital, and some of whom were recruited from the private sector.
Eleven doctors have fallen from the quarantine center, six have been infected, and five are exhausted.
The physical and psychological torment of having to cope with the heavy work and the constant death of patients on a daily basis has brought almost all the doctors in the isolation center to the brink of collapse.
These twenty people came too timely, and it can be said that they are sending carbon in the snow.
Jiang Wanning asked Imperial Doctor Yang to arrange these doctors immediately, and there was no time to give them adaptation and respite.
Lin Ruoruo came back from the ward and saw Jiang Wanning staring at the medical book in a daze.
"Jiang Niangzi, why don't you go to rest? Stop pondering and go to rest. Lin Ruoruo was a little angry, everyone only had two hours of rest every day, and if they were busy, they couldn't even guarantee these two hours.
An hour ago, Jiang Wanning should have rested, but she was still sitting here.
She herself was already sick, and the residual poison in her body had not been cleared, and she didn't know how to take care of her body.
"You are the backbone of everyone, if you are tired, what should everyone do?" Lin Ruoruo took the medical book from her hand.
Jiang Wanning said: "Ruoruo, I found that from the first patient to the present, this pox virus has been infected for four generations, and the symptoms of this new group of people seem to be milder. ”
The first batch was the most serious.
"Go and rest." Lin Ruoruo said solemnly.
Time is precious.
Jiang Wanning's eyes were covered with red threads, but her eyes were shining.
"If so, this shows that bean poison is spreading from generation to generation, and the toxicity is weakening, although it is minimal, but it is indeed weakening."
"You don't expect the pox poison to pass through to the toxicity and subside on its own, do you?" How many generations does that have to go?
"That's impossible, even now in the fourth generation, the lethality rate of this pox poison is still very high, didn't I tell you before, I have to think of a way to solve the pox poison once and for all, I think I may soon find a way."
Lin Ruoruo's curiosity was aroused.
"What's the solution?"
Jiang Wanning leaned on the table: "I'll squint for a while." ”
Lin Ruoruo: ......
Isn't that a stinging taste?
Lin Ruoruo sighed silently and took a piece of clothing to put on her.
