The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

Three days later, Xue Yao and Zhang Si came to the western suburbs with the servants of the yamen, and led more than 500 villagers to the remote valleys arranged in advance for isolation.

Not all of these 500 people were plague-infected. Some of them suspected that they were sick because of physical discomfort, cough and typhoid fever, and they were afraid of death and came for help.

Some of them were suspected of being sick by the villagers and were forcibly sent.

There are a total of about 300 infected people in various villages in the county.

It seems that there are not many people. This is not only because the epidemic is well controlled, but because the infected people die too quickly. There are only so many living infected people left. The number of dead infected people has not been recorded in detail.

It is precisely because of the rapid death rate that patients have no other choice but to seek help from living gods.

With the onset time of just a few days, patients who are unwilling to cooperate have no chance to make trouble.

Fortunately, this county has unique geographical conditions, coupled with the fact that the people are used to living scattered, and the villages are far apart, which gave Xue Yao a relatively long reaction time.

After Xue Yao arrived, he stopped the sacrificial activities in time, distributed soap and disinfectant, exterminated fleas and rodents, and asked the government to cooperate in disposing of Miemen's corpses, thus greatly slowing down the speed of transmission.

It also benefits from the fact that the plague is still in the bubonic plague stage, and the pneumonic plague has just emerged, and its transmission is not too strong.

Successfully getting the patients to cooperate with the isolation, let Xue Yao see the hope of defeating this plague.

A group of people rushed to the mouth of the valley, and Xue Yao asked the patients to disperse and sit down on the spot, and began to distinguish the symptoms of the patients himself.

Bubonic and pneumonic plague must be quarantined separately.

The former has a slightly lower mortality rate, and with drug treatment, there is still hope for survival.

The latter is highly contagious, with a mortality rate of almost 100%, so it can only be sent to another place for isolation.

Xue Yao divided the patients into three groups. The bubonic plague was in the valley, and the pneumonic plague was sent to farther places. Those who could not be distinguished were sent to a separate place for isolation.

The patients lived in tents in groups of four, and the guards were asked to cook traditional Chinese medicine according to different prescriptions every day, almost one kind of medicine for each tent.

Only traditional Chinese medicine formula can be used, because the medicinal materials can be bought locally.

Over the years, the antibiotics that Xue Yao collected from the shopping mall were basically penicillin, and the amount was not much, so he had to keep them in case the prince went on an expedition in the future and got injured and infected.

Among them, there is also a small amount of streptomycin against the plague, calculated as a seven-day course of treatment, which is only enough for one person, and it can be ignored at all.

I have no choice but to try all the important formulas of my ancestors that I have seen in the records.

The patients sent to the isolation area were at different stages of illness, and twenty or thirty people died every day.

The pneumonic plague quarantine area developed faster, and one-third of them died the next day, and there was no time to drink the medicine.

Concentrated death is very terrible, and the patients staying in the isolation area seem to be in hell.

On the evening of the third day, several patients tried to escape from the isolation area, but found that the exit of the valley was blocked, and there were guards with knives.

The patient immediately went back and called all the patients who could still move, saying that the Taoist priests from the capital wanted to lock them up with the plague ghost and die together.

Thus, the first riot began. Xue Yao was woken up in his sleep, and rushed to the isolation area with the guards who came to report the news.

Patients should not be allowed to make big troubles, but their emotions must be appeased.

Otherwise, if the news leaks and causes panic, new patients who will appear in the future will definitely find a way to escape, which will seriously affect the isolation work.

In the middle of the night, Xue Yao stood outside the valley exit, and the surrounding torches reflected the gray and gray faces of the dying people inside the fence, making it horrifying.

"Why detain us! We didn't break the law!" A patient slammed his body against the fence door.

The servants around him took a step back subconsciously.

Xue Yao didn't move at all, and said calmly: "Folks, don't misunderstand, this fence is blessed by the poor mana and used to seal the plague ghosts. It is not used to imprison innocent people."

Someone cried and shouted: "Didn't you say that you would drive away the plague for us? People who came to this place died instead!"

"Don't get excited, everyone sit down on the spot, so as not to get worse." Xue Yao still took his time: "Please think about it, all the patients sent here are patients haunted by plague ghosts. If you don't come here, wouldn't you be sick?" do you died?

You have been in this gossip for three days. Some people have been infected for three days before coming here. Everyone knows that once you are haunted by this kind of plague ghost, you will die in two to five days. If you don’t come here, you will only die faster.

The infected people gather together, and it seems that the death toll is high. In fact, it is more dangerous for you to go back to your own home.Stay here, insist on taking the medicine, after seven days, there is a [-]% chance of recovery, and after fourteen days, you will be cured, and you will have anti-epidemic spiritual energy in your body, so you don't have to worry about being haunted by this kind of epidemic ghost anymore. "

The patient's resentment finally subsided.

The cause of this disturbance was fear, and Xue Yao's guarantee of recovery and "anti-epidemic" rekindled hope for patients.

Four days later, a patient whose condition improved actually appeared in the isolation area.

Once the disease is cured, antibodies will be produced, so the patients who have improved are left by Xue Yao to deal with some treatments that require dangerous exposure.

The prescription for improving the condition was also picked up by Xue Yao alone, and he used it emphatically.

Because each tent uses a different formula, in just seven days, Xue Yao selected three formulas with significant curative effects, the controllability of the disease was greatly improved, and the trust of patients in him was also strengthened.

Especially the patients who have recovered from their illnesses simply regard Xue Yao as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, hardworking and extremely devout.

Half a month later, the county's infection rate dropped sharply, and fewer and fewer patients were sent to the isolation area every day.

Xue Yao walked on the street, and the common people knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude as if seeing a god descending to earth.

However, not long after, the method of burning the corpses of the sick and dead in the isolation area was leaked by a government official who participated in the burning work.

The problem that Xue Yao didn't want to face the most still exploded.

He thought of many ways to fool people, such as: "It must be burned before the plague ghost leaves the body, so that it can be burned together with the plague ghost, otherwise the plague ghost will be transferred to another living person."

This can be accepted by villagers who are not infected, and some family members of patients can reluctantly accept it, but most of the patients themselves cannot accept it.

Once patients do not cooperate, they may escape or retaliate against society.

But if the corpses are not burned, the family members of the patients may take the corpses back and hold simple funeral ceremonies quietly, which will lead to another batch of new patients.

The mess must be cut quickly.

Surprisingly, after the news spread, almost all the people in the county sided with Xue Yao.

Even before Xue Yao explained, some villagers stood up and supported all the methods of the living gods to drive away the plague.

Facts speak louder than words. Xue Yao's last stage of epidemic prevention has completely eliminated the plague in several villages.

The number of patients sent to the isolation area every day has changed from hundreds at the beginning to two or three every day.

In the eyes of the whole village, he is a god, a good god who saved the people of the whole county.

These understandings and cooperation gave Xue Yao a deeper understanding of this group of "superstitious and foolish people".

They also know how to be grateful and can distinguish right from wrong, but environmental education does not give them the opportunity to get in touch with progressive ideas.

The continuation of life brings a better future. Although the process is slow and difficult, it makes Xue Yao feel honored to participate in this fight against the plague.

The leak of the secret of the cremation did not bring about riots, and Xue Yao went to the quarantine area to supervise every day as usual.

When I came to the isolation area early this morning, a government servant came to report that a patient was missing from a tent.

Xue Yao hurriedly asked people to search separately.

A group of people searched nervously all morning, and finally found a pit in the corner of the valley, and the missing male patient was half-buried himself in the pit.

What kind of performance art is this?

With a dazed expression, Xue Yao ordered the man to be dug out for interrogation.

The man knelt on the ground and confessed to Xue Yao, saying that he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and he didn't want to bother the officials to dig a hole to bury him, so he dug it himself.

What he said made all the yamen servants around him laugh, and they all mocked him, "You will save us trouble."

Some people urged him to "don't bother, we will drag you to the back mountain and burn you when you die".

As soon as the man heard that it was going to be burned, he kowtowed to Xue Yao with a "bang bang bang" and asked whether his daughter was only three years old and could he wait for her to grow up and get married before burning it.

The common people in this place believe that when a person dies, he cannot be reincarnated without arms or legs. If the body is burned, the soul will be gone.

This man thought that he was dead, and he still had a soul to watch his daughter grow up.

The yamen servants around were laughing at his stupidity of digging a hole to save everyone trouble, but Xue Yao didn't say a word, raised his hand to make him stand up, and said lightly: "It's time to drink medicine, go back quickly."

The man refused to get up, and looked up at the living god earnestly, trying to get him to promise not to burn himself.

Xue Yao stepped forward and grabbed his arm, pulled him up forcibly, frowned fiercely and said, "If you want to see the child grow up, drink medicine on time. What can you do with a dead body here? Get well and recuperate. The dead body can't be a good father, you have to survive." OK."

In the afternoon, Xue Yao followed the corpse transport team to the back mountain to supervise the burning.

Everything has to be done by yourself, because the oil used to burn the corpses is military oil, which is very expensive. If you don’t look at it, the guards may take a few pots back by themselves, and it will be troublesome if the corpses are not completely burned.

Unexpectedly, when the door was opened to transport the corpses, a group of patients suddenly rushed out of the isolation area, holding stones and sticks of firewood, rushing towards the exit!

"Stand back!" Zhang Si pulled Xue Yao behind him.

The surrounding yamen servants all grabbed the handle of the knife and shouted a warning: "Don't come over!"

A group of patients who didn't want to be burned planed one night, and decided to take the medicine dregs back to the pharmacy to make medicines to recuperate, so as to save their lives and be burned if they stayed here.

"Bang" with a muffled sound.

Zhang Si kicked the leader of the rioters, and the other hundreds of patients immediately bypassed Zhang Si, trying to escape, but were stopped by the guards.

The patients had no fighting power at all, but they were numerous. There were only a dozen guards on duty during the day, and several of them were scratched by the patients' hands and feet.

The guard was worried that he would be infected by the plague ghost, so he drew out his saber with a clang in fright, and cut down the patient who scratched and bit him without hesitation.

In the chaos, Xue Yao hurriedly yelled: "Don't use the knife! Don't get blood! Knock them out!"

A group of guards hurriedly put away their sabers, pushing and kicking, but they couldn't stop a large number of patients from attacking from all directions, and more and more guards escaped.

Xue Yao called a guard to help close the fence gate together, and when he turned his head, he saw two patients running towards him. The guard immediately dropped the chain and fled.

Xue Yao hurriedly picked up the chain and was about to lock the wooden fence, but the two patients had already run over and grabbed his hand to prevent him from locking the door!

"Let us out!"

Seeing that his arm was about to be pinched by the patient, Xue Yao quickly let go and gave up on locking the door. Several patients rushed out of the door like vicious dogs!

Before Xue Yao could dodge, he was pushed violently by two of them, and staggered backwards. He was about to fall, but suddenly a hand grabbed his arm and stabilized his footsteps.

Following a few muffled sounds, the two patients who rushed out were kicked back, and a figure in white stood in front of Xue Yao.

Xue Yao looked up and exclaimed, "His Royal Highness!"

"Back off!"

Before I could say more, a few more people rushed out ahead.

The prince had just found Xue Yao through the imperial physician, but he didn't know who the group of people who attacked Xue Yao and the officials were, so he drew out his sword and stabbed at a person who rushed over!

"Your Highness! Don't get blood!"

In a blink of an eye, Xue Yao strode forward, grabbed the prince with one arm, turned around and stood on tiptoe to protect him.

Warm blood sprayed on the back, Xue Yao hurriedly pulled the prince away, Zhang Si also overturned the rest of the troublemakers at this moment, turned around to see the prince, and hurried forward to pay his respects.
