[Three Kingdoms] Jingyunshang

Chapter 43 The Plague Comes

Time passed silently, and in a blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Li Jing still visited various people's homes to seek medical treatment as before, but today when she visited Aunt Wang Yuewang's home a few days ago, she found Aunt Wang's father The situation was a little abnormal. From a distance, the old man was about 60 years old, his complexion was yellow, he was skinny, he had difficulty breathing, his mouth was dry, and he was sweating profusely.Seeing this, Li Jing cried out secretly!This kind of situation is in her own world, and Li Jing was fortunate enough to see it on TV. It seems to be some kind of respiratory infectious disease, and Li Jing has some vague consciousness in her mind.

"Sister Zhier, Sister Ziling, quickly put a cloth towel on your mouth and nose to avoid infection." Li Jing took out a cloth towel from the package to wrap her mouth and nose.

"Sister Jing, what's going on?" Zi Ling asked curiously.

"This is an infectious disease, the plague."

"Ah!" The people present cried out.

"It seems to be so. Four years ago, I remember that the prefect was also wearing a cloth towel." Zi Ling recalled and said.

"Doctor Li, what is my father's situation? How did he get the plague?" The woman beside him asked tremblingly.

"Aunt Wang, I hope you can answer me truthfully, what did your father eat these past few days?" Li Jing looked serious.

"No... didn't you eat anything? It seems... It seems that I ate a mouse yesterday."

"What? Eat...rats?" Lu Zhi and Zi Ling beside Li Jing felt chills after hearing this.

"Doctor Li, there is nothing we can do. This year's harvest is not very good. The grain has not yet reached the harvest time, but there is not much surplus food in the family. In desperation, in order to save food for others to eat, my father is here. The family caught a mouse as rations." The woman burst into tears.

After listening to the aunt's crying, Li Jing couldn't say anything more, so she said, "Aunt Wang, your situation is really sympathetic, but animals like mice carry a lot of viruses, so they shouldn't be eaten indiscriminately. Since you are in close contact with the patient, I would like you to be isolated for the time being."

"But, Dr. Li, my father didn't eat alone yesterday. Several neighbors also ate together."

What the woman said made Li Jing deeply feel that something was wrong. If these people all ran out, it might bring disaster to the entire Changsha County.Thinking of this, Li Jing's palms and backs were sweaty.He hurriedly said to Lu Zhi and Zi Ling: "The situation is urgent, we have to go back to the prefect's mansion and report this matter to the prefect."

"Then what should I do?" the woman asked anxiously.

"Aunt Wang, stay at home for now and don't go anywhere. I'm going back to the prefect's mansion to discuss a solution to the problem." Li Jing comforted the woman.

In an instant, the three of Li Jing hurried to the hall of the prefect's mansion, and the prefect was discussing matters with Han Xuan.

"Master Taishou, something is wrong. Aunt Wang Yuewang's father and several neighbors in the south of the city were infected with the plague because of eating rats! Please think of a countermeasure quickly, otherwise the whole city will be in danger!"

"What? Plague? Don't scare me! Doctor Li!" Han Xuan interrupted.

"My lord, it's absolutely true. According to the old man's symptoms, the daughter of the people is sure that it's probably a plague." Li Jing explained anxiously.

"Basically? Doctor Li, you know that you are not [-]% sure, so don't just talk about it." Han Xuan mocked Li Jing.

"My lord Han, how dare the daughters of the people make fun of the lives of the entire city? If it was a plague, it would be too late if we didn't take measures to deal with it now! If it weren't for the plague, it would be great. Everyone has lost nothing."

Facing Li Jing's defense, Han Xuan was powerless to refute, so he remained silent.After Zhang Lue heard it, he seemed to be thinking deeply, thinking: It happened once four years ago, but fortunately it was not too serious, but more than a hundred people died, and Wen Hui, the daughter of the prefect Zhang Zhongjing, also died of the plague at that time.

After pondering for a while, he issued an order: "Yi'er, pass on the order of the prefect. From now on, the city gates will be closed, and all merchants who come and go are not allowed to leave the city without authorization. Violators will be severely punished! Secondly, everyone must wear Cloth towels, offenders will be punished severely. Furthermore, Captain Yang, please take a team to find those villagers who ate rats, and isolate them from those who have been in contact with them. Finally, the prefect will personally Inspection and supervision."

"No!" Zhang Yi and Yang Ling under the lobby replied together.

"Miss Li, in the end, I still have to trouble you to treat those people with mild symptoms of infection!"

"Minnv must go all out."

Because the whereabouts of the first few infected villagers were uncertain, many people were infected innocently. Fortunately, the decree issued by the prefect was barely timely, so that the plague was controlled in the southern part of Changsha County. For some patients with mild symptoms, due to With Li Jing's efforts, most of the people recovered.Li Jing was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open after seeing a doctor for several days in a row. She was really unable to persist, and Li Jing couldn't care about the image of a girl anymore, she fell to the ground and fell asleep in the hall of the prefect's mansion.

After sleeping for about an hour, he vaguely heard Zhang Yi's call: "Jing'er, Jing'er, wake up, wake up!" Zhang Yi rushed to the hall of the prefect's mansion in a panic.

"Brother Yi, what are you doing? Sister Jing hasn't closed her eyes for several days in a row. She is really tired. Let her rest!" Zi Ling, who was helping to take care of the patient, was full of displeasure.

"Oh, good sister Ziling! It's not that brother Yi didn't let your sister Jing sleep, something serious happened!" Zhang Yi's tone seemed very eager.

"What's the big deal! Brother Yi?" Ziling blinked and looked at Zhang Yi innocently.

"Uncle Zimou...he was unfortunately infected with the plague! Tell your elder sister Jing to wake up and have a look."

"How could the prefect?" Faintly hearing the conversation between Zhang Yi and Zi Ling, Li Jing tried her best to open her eyes and asked Zhang Yi feebly.

"It was Uncle Zimou who wanted to personally ask those infected patients, but it happened that the wind was too strong that day, and Uncle Zimou's cloth towel was blown off. In addition, Uncle Zimou's previous wind and cold had not completely recovered, so the infection the plague."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words was like a bolt from the blue.He quickly followed Zhang Yi to Zhang Lue's location, but when Li Jing arrived, he found that the prefect was lying on the bed with a yellow and thin face and difficulty breathing, as if he was about to run out of oil and burn out.Seeing this situation, Li Jing shook her head helplessly at Zhang Yi, and said, "Yi, it's not because I didn't save the prefect, but looking at the prefect's appearance, Jing is really powerless, I'm really sorry!"

Suddenly with a "plop", Zhang Yi knelt down in front of Li Jing and said, "Uncle Zimou almost watched me grow up. Although I am dissatisfied with his bribery to others after he became the prefect, he is my uncle after all. , although it is not a real uncle, but it is no different from a real uncle, Jinger, I know that you have the essence of being a righteous father, and you must have a way." Zhang Yi almost cried and burst into tears.

"Yi, I..."

"Yi'er, don't...don't make things difficult...Miss Li, life and death are destiny, maybe you really shouldn't have gone...take that step. No... ..I didn't expect today...today's retribution!"

"Uncle Zimou, Yi'er will definitely save you. You must hold on!" Zhang Yi shouted loudly to Zhang Lue who was behind the curtain.

"Let it go... give up! Yi'er. The old man's body... I know it myself. The only... the only thing I can't worry about is... is Yi Erru and.....and that Tai.....Taishou...of...the...position..."

Before Zhang Lue finished speaking, he died, "Uncle Zimou...!" Zhang Yi cried and stood up, ready to run to the bed.I didn't want a pair of slender hands behind me to hold me.

"No! You can't go there!" The tone seemed unquestionable.

When Zhang Yi looked back, there were indeed a pair of resolute and firm eyes. Those eyes were fixed on Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi suddenly squatted on the ground and cried loudly: "Why? Why is God so cruel? Four years ago, he took away a The person I love the most has taken away another person who is dear to me today, what is the reason for this?"

Facing Zhang Yi at this time, Li Jing suddenly felt heartache and wanted to comfort him, but she had already forgotten how to speak.Finally, Li Jing took out a cloth towel from the package and handed it to Zhang Yi, but found that Zhang Yi had already put on the cloth towel.In this way, one person stood and the other squatted on the ground, and the stalemate lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

"Sister Jing, so you are here. It's not good. Some patients in the hall of the prefect's mansion are yelling. Go over and see what's going on." Ziling ran over panting all the way.

"Okay! I'll go right away!" Just as Li Jing was about to get up and go back, Zhang Yi's voice came.

"Wait for me, I'll go there with you!" Zhang Yi then glanced at the dead prefect again, and muttered in his mouth, "Uncle Zimou, Yi'er will come over to cremate you immediately after finishing the matter."

Li Jing returned to the hall of the prefect's mansion and quickly calmed down the emotions of all the patients.The plague finally subsided completely and disappeared after a month.Due to the timely isolation and blockade measures, the number of deaths this time was much lower than that of four years ago. Only half a hundred people died. Unfortunately, the prefect was one of them. For patients who died of severe illness, Li Jing and Zhang Yi He was cremated with a fire.
