Chapter 138 Deep into the epidemic area

Su Wanqing and Bai Wuchang got on and off the carriage at the intersection in the western suburbs, but the coachman waited for the two and did not follow up. This is also Su Wanqing's intention. After all, some places in the western suburbs are likely to be epidemic areas, and she can't supervise the driver to pay attention everywhere, so it is the best choice for him to wait in a relatively safe place.

"Brother Bai, you must be careful. The plague is not a joke." Su Wanqing couldn't help reminding Bai Wuchang for fear that he didn't pay enough attention to it.

"Don't worry, girl, whatever you say, brother will do it!" Bai Wuchang said.

Bai Wuchang and Su Wanqing walked a long way to a place called Mingxi Village. The atmosphere here makes people feel weird.

"We have entered the epidemic area." Su Wanqing's career ** told her that there must be something wrong here.

At the beginning, Bai Wuchang still felt that this village was no different from the village he had seen before, but the more he went in, the more wrong it was. Many people are making medicine in the yard, and every family has patients.

"Uncle, what kind of medicine are you suffering from? Who is sick in the family? Su Wanqing asked a man in his fifties.

"Well, I don't know what to do. My little grandson was fine a few days ago. He suddenly stopped eating yesterday and couldn't wake up today. I found Langzhong in the village and prescribed a sideline medicine. I don't know if it will work. The man is very sad about his four-year-old grandson, and he is very careful when boiling medicine.

"Uncle, I see that many people in the village are frying medicine? What's going on?" Su Wanqing asked, wanting to find out the situation in the village.

"Autumn is getting cold, and I don't pay attention to adding clothes. It rains again these days. Ouch, I don't know what to do. In the past half month, many people in the village have been sick one after another. The same is true in neighboring villages. It's not that they don't burn incense and pray for blessings!"

"When it clears up tomorrow, I will go to the Bodhisattva to worship so that my little grandson can get better quickly."

"Oh, it's just a unique seedling, but I dare not make a mistake."

The old man's endless nagging seems to be off topic. Su Wanqing and Bai Wuchang looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Uncle, can I see your little grandson? I'm also a doctor!" Su Wanqing said enthusiastically, looking like an ancient road, which was irresistible.

"All right! Enter the house! My little bean is sleeping on the bed! Lang Zhong said it's no big deal, and it will be fine after a few days of rest. If you want to see it, then watch it! There's nothing wrong with looking more." The old man brought Su Wanqing and Bai Wuchang into the house. Before entering the room, Su Wanqing whispered to Bai Wuchang, "Don't move things or eat indiscriminately."

Su Wanqing seriously diagnosed Xiaodouzi's pulse. The symptoms of Xiaodouzi are almost the same as those of the third uncle she saw in the morning. Su Wanqing was more convinced that this was the plague. However, the plague was very terrible in ancient times. She dared not spread rumors at will, so she didn't say much. She just told the old man to pay attention to disinfection at home, wash her hands with salt water, and water the house with vinegar.

Su Wanqing went to several places and confirmed that this was the initial manifestation of the plague, and there was all kinds of anxiety in his heart.

"Sister, are you really sure? This is not a joke." Bai Wuchang asked, and his heart was also a little drumming.

"It must be, I won't make a mistake. This is only an initial performance. If it is not controlled in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. Su Wanqing frowned and kept thinking about how to deal with it.

"This is not a small matter!" Bai Wuchang is also worried about the country and the people.

"Girl, although I know how terrible the plague is about these things, I really don't understand medical science. Just tell me what I should do! Brother, it's all up to you." Bai Wuchang said that he was ready to be a follower, and he believed that Su Wanqing would not ignore the plague.

He has always been a villain, and this time he really wants to be a good man.

"Brother Bai, the top priority is to stop the spread of the epidemic. People who are not infected in the epidemic area must pay attention to disinfection, such as vinegar, which is the simplest and most direct way. Su Wanqing said. There is no disinfectant in Chu, so we can only replace it with vinegar first.

"I will go to the elders of the village, run around each village, and ask these highly valued old people to help publicize this matter." Bai Wuchang immediately came up with a simple way.

"Well, that's feasible." Su Wanqing also agreed.

"To find a way to inform the government of this matter, the plague is not under your control and me. We must rely on the power of the court." Su Wanqing said.

I'm afraid the court has smelled it. Look at it!" Bai Wuchang pointed to several brightly dressed people not far away, "I'm afraid that they will take a vicious approach to the people in the epidemic area."

"What do you mean?" Su Wanqing asked, a little confused.

"I have also heard that some places have plagues after floods. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the infected people and suspected infected people are locked up and let them live and die. Of course, it is difficult for these people to survive again. Bai Wuchang said that he traveled north and south and saw a lot of things.

"This is so inhumane." Su Wanqing immediately felt angry.

"This is not bad! If you are more ruthless, set fire to the village and burn the sick and unsick together. Bai Wuchang gritted his teeth.

"My God!" Su Wanqing thought that the biggest problem was to isolate and configure the antidote, but he didn't expect to prevent the vicious style of the court.

"Brother Bai, this is very close to the capital." Su Wanqing was a little worried.

"Yes, at the feet of the emperor, it seems peaceful, but it is actually more terrible. Those senior officials and minor officials can do anything to protect themselves. Bai Wuchang said.

"No, we must keep it a secret! You can't bring the plague to the government. Su Wanqing said that she really couldn't bear to see these innocent people die tragically.

"However, they have come. This kind of thing can't be concealed. Bai Wuchang said.

"What should I do?" Su Wanqing was very anxious and squatted on the ground sadly. Bai Wu often felt sad and sad, and immediately felt distressed. "Girl, if you don't do this, cut down those running dogs of the court and let them shut up obediently."

"Brother Bai, don't hurt people casually." Su Wanqing said.

"These people can't see any clue. Even if you can see it, find a way to mislead them and convince them that this is an ordinary cold disease, or because of the destruction of water quality. Su Wanqing said.

"Well, I'll help you spread the news. I won't let them find out." Bai Wuchang said firmly.

Bai Wuchang said and walked to a few people who seemed to have some time, "Yo, these masters must be nobles!"

"Are you from this village? Are there many people sick here?" One of the leaders asked.

"Yes, it's all because of the nonsense of the neighboring village, smoking some broken leaves on the upper reaches of the stream and staining the water. After drinking the unclean water, the villagers got sick a lot. Fortunately, Langzhong has seen it. It's not a big deal!" Bai Wuchang dressed as a small vendor, which is similar to that of a villager.

"The problem of water." The leader is thoughtful.

"Masters, don't drink water here. You are all from the city, and your body is more expensive than our countrymen. You can't joke about your own body bones. Bai Wuchang continued.

"Oi, I see. This is a reward for you." The leader threw a two taels of silver ingots to Bai Wuchang and swaggered back.

Bai Wuchang secretly scolded that these people were all pig brains and went to grandma's house.

"Sister, what should I do now?" Bai Wuchang asked.

"Go and publicize the protective measures. You must disinfect them with vinegar. I will go to see a few more patients and study the condition, so that I can go back and configure the antidote to control the plague. Su Wanqing said.

"I'm not sure if you are alone. What if you meet a bad person?" Bai Wuchang said worriedly.

"I'll be fine. I'll be very careful and not be in danger. Brother Bai, you should speed up faster. We can't get the medicine until we go back. I'm in a hurry. You should understand my mind. Su Wanqing said.

"Hmm! I understand. Well, after you walk casually, wait for me at the little bean's house just now. Don't walk around alone. I'll come to you soon. Take care of yourself." Bai Wuchang told him.

"Here's for you, and I'll give you some water money. Let others be more polite to you." Bai Wuchang gave Su Wanqing the two taels of silver ingots given by the official just now, and he quickly went to do things alone.

Su Wanqing visited several families and returned to Xiaodouzi. Looking at the young little boy, Su Wanqing was really reluctant to destroy him in the plague. She must do her best to save this little life and save the people of seven or eight villages in the western suburbs.

At dusk, the rain finally stopped. Su Wanqing looked at the sky after the rain and couldn't calm down for a long time. She is not 100% sure, but she will do her best.

Su Wanqing stood in the yard and saw Bai Wuchang coming back, covered in mud and tired.

"Brother Bai, how's it going?" Su Wanqing asked in a hurry.

"It's all agreed. Those little old men didn't believe it at first. The silver brothers still work, and they all agreed. Bai Wuchang said.

"Hmm! Brother Bai, I think you are very tired. Let's go back first!" Su Wanqing said that she was anxious and wanted to go back to configure the medicinal materials quickly.

"Don't go, two distinguished guests, stay and have a meal!" The hospitable uncle said.

"No, uncle, we still have urgent things to do. Uncle, remember to sprinkle some vinegar at home and wash your hands often. Su Wanqing urged.

"I know, we will do it." The uncle received the money and naturally obeyed Su Wanqing's words. It's just that he wanted to express his feelings, but Su Wanqing insisted on not drinking water and was unwilling to stay for dinner.
