Chapter 139: The Whistleblower
When Doctor Qiu saw Jiang Yuqing wearing a full set of protective clothing, he was stunned, and then reprimanded her: "Nonsense, is this also a place where you can come?" ”
Jiang Yuqing smiled and said, "Master, you can come, why can't I come!" ”
Doctor Qiu was anxious and angry: "This is not an ordinary disease, this is a plague, a plague, do you understand?" ”
Jiang Yuqing rubbed the old man's arm through the protective clothing: "I know, that's why I came in in protective clothing!" ”
"Humph!"
The old man's hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't had a good rest for many days.
Jiang Yuqing followed the old man back to his place, secretly shook off a few cleaning techniques, and then took out a set of protective clothing for the old man to put on, and then asked, "Master, what's the situation here?" ”
The old man said: "It's been half a month since I arrived here, and on the day I came, I separated all the sick and non-sick, but people still die every day."
The patient had chills and high fever, severe chest pain, coughed up many pink foams, and even blood.
Master tried many methods, but he could only control them, and there was no cure. ”
Jiang Yuqing frowned: "Why is this symptom so similar to pneumonic plague?" ”
Doctor Qiu's eyes lit up: "Good Bao knows about this disease? ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "I have heard it, but I still have to go to the field to see the patient to be sure." ”
Doctor Qiu immediately said, "Let's go, I'll take you!" Before the master and apprentice stepped out of the door, several fat mice swooped out from the feet of the two, startling the unsuspecting Jiang Yuqing.
Doctor Qiu said: "There are a lot of rats in this village, and they are not afraid of people, and they dare to run around the house in broad daylight.
The eldest is the size of a cat. The villagers caught it, skinned it and stewed it as rabbit meat! ”
"What, eat mice?"
"Not really! Can rats eat such filthy things indiscriminately, and it's not that they really can't live, really. ”
Doctor Qiu complained and said, "I heard that when the disease first appeared, in just a few days, five or six people died in the village in a row, and the symptoms were the same.
The old man in this village realized that this might be some kind of plague, so he immediately reported it, and then someone from the government came and sealed it all.
Only let in, not let out! The birds you sent to deliver the letter also made them shoot down, which is really angry old man! ”
Doctor Qiu took Jiang Yuqing to the isolation point, and happened to see two young men covering their mouths and noses, carrying out an old man who had died of illness.
The whole ancestral hall was full of crying, and the wailing was terrible.
Jiang Yuqing frowned, and several cleaning techniques were immediately thrown out.
After checking the patient's condition, Jiang Yuqing said with a solemn face: "I'm sure it's pneumonic plague!"
This is a virulent infectious disease caused by rats, and without effective treatment, the fatality rate is extremely high. ”
She paused and said to Doctor Qiu: "Rats carry a large number of bacteria and viruses, and the villagers even catch them as meat to eat!" It's no wonder if you don't get sick! ”
The words of the master and apprentice did not evade others, and a sick woman said: "But, girl, we have eaten so much before, and we are all right!" ”
Jiang Yuqing glared at her: "That's your luck, God can let you go once or twice, can you let you go every time?" ”
The woman immediately did not dare to speak. This little girl is dressed strangely, and her aura is even more powerful.
"What is the best way to do it, you can't watch so many people die!"
Don't look at Doctor Qiu, who is very arrogant on weekdays, he is still a very kind and soft-hearted person in his bones. At least for the poor people, he has a 12-point homosexuality.
Jiang Yuqing said: "Yes, use streptomycin, and then combine it with other drugs. "Dr. Qiu knew about this drug, which is similar to penicillin, an antibiotic.
After finding the source of the disease and having effective medicines, the master and apprentice immediately formulated a series of treatment plans.
1. It is forbidden to eat rats, and organize the villagers who have not yet developed diseases to do their best to exterminate rats. All the killed rats were burned with fire, and then sprinkled with lime and buried deeply.
2. Disinfection of the whole village, especially the clothes that the patients come into contact with, such as boiling water, and then put them under the scorching sun for disinfection.
3. After the bodies of the dead villagers are cremated, the ashes are buried deeply. The villagers can do the first two things very well, but only this is the only thing that the villagers resist fiercely.
"No, you can't burn it!"
"Isn't that a bruising of bones?"
"It's really going to burn, and you can't be reincarnated in the next life!" The villagers were chattering and shouting.
In their traditional thinking, people should die in the ground, and cremation is undoubtedly a crushing of bones and ashes, which is not a good death and is absolutely not allowed.
Jiang Yuqing couldn't listen to what she said, and her patience had run out, so she had no choice but to jump on a table, use her spiritual power and shout loudly: "Please be sober in your minds!"
What does this have to do with our fart? We can ignore it at all! Who are we doing this for?
This is a virulent infectious disease, and as long as there is a little virus left, they can come back, and all our efforts will be wasted. Your whole village will die!
It's not good in this life, and I'm still thinking about reincarnation in the next life. I beg you to put aside your foolishness and think for your children and grandchildren. ”
After a few seconds of collective silence, the villagers finally cried and compromised.
Even the corpses that had been buried in the open space next to the village were dug up, cremated and buried deeply, and then sprinkled with white lime to disinfect them thoroughly.
The whole process was full of crying. Appalling.
Jiang Yuqing raised his head and held back his tears, and his heart was very blocked. However, there is no way to do it. She had to.
Otherwise, either the people of this village will die, or the villagers will break through the fence and escape in despair, and then the whole Yuci and even the whole of Yanzhou will suffer.
Next, the master and apprentice kept dispensing medicine and treating the villagers, and they could only take turns to rest for a short time every day.
After seven days, the death toll in the quarantine site finally dropped to zero.
The villagers wept with joy, and Dr. Qiu Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yuqing spread the news through the fence, and the officers and soldiers guarding outside were relieved at the same time, but they were also happy for the people inside.
Everyone has parents and relatives, and no one wants to see such a tragedy happen.
The news was quickly reported to the Yuci County Ordinance. When the Yuci County Commander heard the good news, he was also secretly relieved.
To tell the truth, listening to Shangfeng's words, he surrounded these hundreds of villagers and left them to fend for themselves, and his heart was also fried.
Therefore, he tried his best to comply with any requests from the people inside, at least the medicinal materials and the like have never been broken.
Now, hearing this good news, this heart is finally better.
After another ten days, when Jiang Yuqing announced that the last patient had also recovered, the whole village instantly erupted in cheers like a mountain.
After the cheers, great sadness struck my heart again. Less than half of the 576 people in the village have survived, and several families and even the entire family have died.
Jiang Yuqing stood on the table again and explained to them the importance of the biological chain in the most straightforward words. "After so many days of understanding, I have also roughly deduced the origin of this disaster in your village.
Your village used to like to eat snakes, and they ate all the snakes around them. But you forget that snakes are the natural enemies of rats.
Without the restraint of natural predators, rats will multiply in large numbers.
They bite the crops and eat the grain. If you don't have anything to eat, eat them. That's the root of this scourge!
I hope that everyone can learn the lesson of this time and stop doing things that destroy the Great Wall in the future! ”
A man said, "Little miracle doctor, we remember." ”
"yes, we never will!"
Jiang Yuqing said: "Let's all go home, what should you do, I will go and ask the officers and soldiers outside to remove the fence in a while, and you can go out." ”
"Thank you, little miracle doctor!"
The officers and soldiers surrounding the village immediately cheered when they heard that the villagers had recovered and the blockade could be lifted. After lifting the heart for many days, I can finally put it in my stomach.
However, they did not have the right to release people without permission, so they only said: "The little ones have no authority, they need to report the matter here to the county magistrate, and ask the little doctor to wait patiently!" ”
Jiang Yuqing handed out a small golden seal from the crack in the door below: "You take this to the county order, he will understand it at a glance." ”
The little leader was startled when he received the golden seal, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went to the county government in person.
Although he didn't know much about writing, he also knew that such a thing as a golden seal was not something that ordinary people could have.
Let's say that the Yuci County Commander took the small seal and looked at it, and was so frightened that he couldn't get up from sitting on the chair for half a day.
After that, he hurriedly called for people to prepare cars and horses, and hurriedly went to the sealed village.
When he got there, he immediately ordered the gate of the fence to be opened, and he personally took the lead and ran inside.
At that time, Jiang Yuqing was sorting out the remaining medicinal materials with Doctor Qiu.
When the county magistrate saw her, he immediately knelt down: "The lower official has seen the county lord of the protector country, and he has seen Doctor Qiu!" ”
Jiang Yuqing didn't speak, just looked at him like that. The county order was like a man's back, cold sweat was dripping, and after a while, his clothes were soaked. Jiang Yuqing said: "Do you know the mistake? ”
Yuci County ordered: "The lower official should be damned!" ”
Jiang Yuqing said: "You really deserve to die. For the sake of your future, colluding with Shangguan, such a big thing dares to hide it and not report it.
If it weren't for my master passing by here, the people of this village would have died.
No matter how serious it is, if any one of them escapes from the disease, the entire Yuci and even the entire Yanzhou will become a purgatory on earth.
When the time comes, even the nine clans that punish you will not be enough to compensate.
Fortunately, you still have a bit of conscience, and you haven't completely destroyed your humanity. I can't comment on your merits and demerits, and I will ask the court for my guilt! ”
"Whoa!" The county magistrate went down with a white face.
Only then did the villagers know that the benefactor was actually the famous Qiu Divine Doctor and the Lord of the Protector County.
So they knelt on the ground and bowed, and Jiang Yuqing hurriedly helped everyone up. Said: "Everyone, don't kneel, let's go and tear down the fence together." "When the fence is opened, the whole village is reborn.
When the dust settled, the villagers erected a monument to the place where the ashes of their deceased relatives were buried. and gave the first to report, and Lang Zhongdan, who died of illness, made an independent monument.
Doctor Qiu also put incense on the whistleblower. According to Dr. Qiu, until the moment he died, he was still talking about saving the villagers.
He is a hero, worthy of the title of healer!
In the meantime, Dr. Qiu Shen also planned to set off for Beijing. Jiang Yuqing did not choose to fly, but accompanied Doctor Qiu and walked back slowly, taking a look at the mountains and rivers along the way.
