Chapter 121

Magistrate Hua walked in the isolation area where the patients appeared.

The area where the infected people first appeared was not the injured area, but the area where young people were helping with salvage and rescue.

After the salvage, these people also went to other areas to help. The high mobility resulted in many people with persistent fever appearing overnight.

The magistrate of Hua County jumped up in the middle of the night as if his butt was on fire and quarantined all the people who showed symptoms.

Qu Dubian covered his face with a veil and followed Magistrate Hua with a frown on his face.

There were painful groans from the infected area.

More and more people were carried here. The smell of burning mugwort filled every corner. There was vomit on the ground. Almost all the rice porridge they had eaten in the past few days was vomited out.

Many people were bleeding from all six orifices, and the bloody smell became stronger as they went deeper into the body.

After hearing the news, Qu Dubian deliberately skipped breakfast in the morning just to come out and take a look. With the double protection of a face towel and nasal congestion, he can now barely hold it in.

Several doctors were running around to see the patients, delivering medicine and treating them.

Doctor Yang is also here.

He was treating an old man who had poor physical condition and was now very ill. A little girl was kneeling beside him with tears in her eyes.

Doctor Yang was fully armed, his brows were furrowed, and after giving a few injections, he cut a wound on the old man's arm.

Dirty black pus and blood flowed out. Doctor Yang caught it in a bowl and pinched it through his gloves.

The Magistrate of Hua County came over and said, "Doctor Yang, how is it? How do you treat this disease?"

"The plague is coming with more force than the previous recorded outbreaks. It can kill people in a day or two. It is highly contagious. Now we can only isolate the infected people. As for treatment..." Doctor Yang shook his head: "The time is too short. We don't have any clue yet."

Moreover, the situation was unclear, so he didn't dare to prescribe medicine casually. In the past few epidemics, he had studied and adjusted the prescriptions, and only dared to use them after making sure that there was no problem.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, it may cost a life.

Who dares to take this risk?

Doctor Yang waited until the pus and blood had drained out of the wound, disinfected it, and then wrapped it with gauze.

He stood up and saluted, saying, "My Lord County Magistrate, Your Highness, please write to the County Governor as soon as possible and ask him to ask doctors from other counties to go to the infected area to study the prescription. My strength alone is really limited."

Magistrate Hua: "We have already revised the book, but it will take time. The longer the epidemic is delayed, the more it will spread and the more people will die."

Qu Watanabe: "Who got sick first?"

Hua County Magistrate: "It's from the youth zone. He probably got the disease when he came into contact with the corpse."

Qu Watanabe: "It's too sudden..."

"It was too sudden." Yu Ruo returned from the Nanning Civilian Quarantine Area with a gloomy face. "It was fine before. We managed the people according to the method of zoning management of Biandou Layman. Even if some people got sick, it was not a plague that would spread."

Qu Watanabe nodded.

I felt a little more certain.

If he was the only one who felt it was sudden, he would have doubted whether he was too sensitive. Now that Yu Ruo also felt the same way, he was sure that there was something wrong with the corpse.

Qu Dubian: "Lord Hua, please ask you and the magistrates of the surrounding counties to set up large nets in the river to stop the bodies floating downstream. The nets should have larger spaces, as long as they can stop the bodies."

"All bodies that are intercepted must be destroyed on the spot. Do not touch them directly."

"When the salvage workers come back, they should wipe their hands with Zhenbao wine, fumigate their bodies with mugwort, and burn the clothes they have worn. The losses will be counted in the county government account and reported later. We must prevent the possibility of the plague spreading."

Magistrate Hua bowed and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Qu Watanabe: "Master, please pay attention to the situation of other people. I am worried that some people are sick but hide it."

Master: "Okay."

"Wait a minute," Qu Dubian added, "Spread the positive news. Say that the Seventh Prince has a royal doctor from the palace with him. He is very skilled and the prescription for the disease has been developed. Tell them not to worry."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qu Watanabe understood that sometimes when panic spreads, it will lead to more terrible incidents, and it must be curbed as much as possible.

[Yu Ruo’s favorability +2]

Qu Watanabe turned his head suddenly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yu Ruo watched Qu Dubian issuing orders one by one, and saw that Magistrate Hua and the legal advisor seemed to have found their backbone. He did not feel out of place due to their age. It seemed that he was born to be a manager.

I wonder how many more people have lived because of this guy in Le'an County.

Yu Ruo: "I'm thinking about the people of Nanning."

Qu Duanbian frowned: "Is there anyone infected too?"

Yu Ruo nodded: "Three bodies have been burned."

Three.

There are only a hundred or so Nanning residents in Le'an County, and without any zoning, if one of them is infected, I'm afraid half of them will be infected.

Qu Duanbian saw blood in Yu Ruo's eyes.

This guy probably feels bad too.

"Your area is a severely affected area, don't let them get close to this side. Send a doctor over there later and bring some wormwood and treasure wine. We must control the situation and prevent it from spreading."

Yu Ruo imitated the appearance of Magistrate Hua and the other two and bowed: "Yes, Your Highness."

Qu Duan kicked him and said, "Get lost."

Yu Ruo said to Doctor Yang again: "I'm counting on you."

Doctor Yang returned the greeting but sighed in his heart.

After Yu Ruo left, Doctor Yang said, "Your Highness, you should hurry back to the county government office. You have a weak constitution and if you get infected, you'll be in great danger."

"I'm lucky. I've survived so many dangers. Doctor Yang, you know that best."

Doctor Yang: “…”

How can this be the same!

“Cough cough cough…”

On the straw mat, the old man who had just had his blood and pus drained coughed a few times and barely opened his eyes.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, you finally woke up!" the child cried.

Doctor Yang quickly squatted down to feel the patient's pulse.

After a while, he recorded the time and amount of pus and blood discharge.

"Doctor, noble sir," the old man's grandson on the straw mat looked at them expectantly, "my grandfather will be fine, right?"

The child's eyes are so bright and eager for affirmation.

Doctor Yang looked at these eyes but could not give an equally affirmative answer.

Qu Watanabe: "We will do our best."

He touched the child's head and whispered, "Don't cry, Grandpa will be worried, take good care of him."

The child's nose was sore and he kept bowing to them: "Thank you, noble brother, thank you."

He was also infected, but his symptoms were relatively mild.

Maybe tomorrow he will be lying on a straw mat like his grandfather, and it will be difficult for him to even open his eyes and speak.

Qu Dubian pulled him up and said, "Okay, just follow what Doctor Yang said and take good care of Grandpa."

"Um!"

Doctor Yang walked around the infectious area again and whispered with several doctors about the initial prescription.

Qu Dubian stood in the middle of the road, looking at the long thatched huts on both sides.

From time to time, people were carried in and out.

The cries, the wails, the despair that is revealed bit by bit are more potent than the sight of wormwood and can make one's eyes sore and cry.

The separation of life and death took place in a short period of time, and the depression and gloom were like a thousand-pound stone, slowly and heavily pressing on the heart.

At noon, Qu Dubian returned to the county government office.

Ye Xiaoyuan came out of Room B12, fumigated him with mugwort, wiped his hands and face with treasure wine, and threw his clothes into the pot to cook.

"Your Highness, don't go out this afternoon. There are so many sick people out there. If anything happens to you, Concubine Xuan will be very worried."

Ye Xiaoyuan moved Concubine Xuan out, determined not to let his own prince go out again.

Qu Dubian was eating, but he had no appetite and ate much less than usual.

"Don't worry, Banban. I'm just going out to get a general idea of ​​the situation. How's Liuliu?"

Ye Xiaoyuan: "He hasn't woken up yet. After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his breathing became much more stable."

Qu Watanabe: "That's good."

After the meal, he went to see Yi Twelve.

Sitting on the bed, he said, "Liuliu, I want to do something. Ye Banban has always stood by me regardless of right or wrong. I dare not tell him, but I think you will not stop me."

He pulled Yi Twelve's face.

"It would be good if you could get a few more days of sleep. It will probably be almost over by then."

Qu Watanabe: [Can we simulate a plague outside the county government?]

Simulator: [Of course.]

Qu Watanabe: [During the simulation, can you eliminate the infectiousness of the plague in my body?]

Simulator: [To eliminate the infectiousness, the life value will be deducted when the experience is settled.]

Qu Watanabe: [Okay.]

He left Yishier's room.

B12 flicked his fingers slightly.

-

Lin County.

Carrier pigeon delivers message.

After reading it, the deputy captain quickly came to Xia Fuyang.

"Brother Xia, the governor of Xianghe County sent a message saying that people from the capital are coming and they want you to return to the county government and wait for the unified transfer order."

"Who is the person from the capital?"

"It's the Minister of Works and the Left Vice Minister, Mr. Xie."

Xia Fuyang nodded: "Okay."

The people from the capital finally arrived, and fortunately they were not useless.

Deputy Lieutenant: "Also, the county magistrate said that Concubine Xuan has woken up, and asked you to bring the Seventh Prince back to the county when you pass by Le'an County. There is now an epidemic in these counties, and Concubine Xuan is worried about the safety of the Seventh Prince."

Xia Fuyang turned around suddenly and asked: "Who are you talking about in Le'an County?"

Deputy Captain: "Uh, it's the Seventh Prince."

Xia Fuyang snatched the small piece of paper densely written with words, scanned it line by line, and fixed his eyes on the three words "Seventh Prince".

He suddenly clenched the paper.

"What is this guy doing here? Why doesn't he go with Concubine Xuan?"

Damn it, it's a plague!

Can his sickly body bear it? !

The deputy lieutenant had never seen his superior's mood swings so violently before, so he asked cautiously, "Does the Seventh Prince have a good relationship with you?"

"I have a good relationship with every prince in the capital."

Deputy Lieutenant: “…”

When you rescued the Sixth Prince from the mountain, you didn't have this expression.

Xia Fuyang tore up the note.

"Notify everyone to assemble the team and set off in half an hour. Arrive at Le'an County before noon tomorrow!"

"yes."

-

After dinner.

When Yu Ruo came back from the Nanning Civilian Quarantine Area, he heard Gu Xin say to him, "The Seventh Prince has a low-grade fever. The courtyard over there has been quarantined."

Yu Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

"when?"

Gu Xin: "About half an hour ago, the Seventh Prince didn't eat dinner, saying he was not feeling well. Soon, no one was allowed in there."

Yu Ruo frowned unconsciously: "That was this morning..."

"Did you find out what the situation was?"

Gu Xin shook his head.

"The guards are very tight. Eunuch Ye somehow managed to ask Boss Xue's guards to guard outside the Seventh Prince's courtyard. Boss Xue also came to take a look and left two jars of the remaining treasure wine. I went to ask him, and he didn't say anything, but his face looked very bad, so he probably wasn't doing well."

Yu Ruo's heart sank.

When I heard that the Seventh Prince was ill in the capital, it was completely different from what I heard now.

He saw with his own eyes how many people died from the plague outside.

In the courtyard of Qu Watanabe.

In the room.

The person’s current situation is not as bad as others imagine.

Qu Dubian even sat by the bed, with the simulator set to 100% realism so that he could give Doctor Yang timely feedback on his experience.

Ye Xiaoyuan was wearing a face mask and standing beside Doctor Yang, his hands clenched together, his knuckles turning white.

Qu Dubian comforted Xiaoxiao and sent him away: "Banban, I want to eat something sour, my mouth has no taste."

Ye Xiaoyuan: "Okay."

After he left, Doctor Yang was the only one left in the room.

Qu Duanbian leaned forward slightly, his eyes like stars: "I have been sick for many years, and you have been the one who treated me. My body reacts to medicine differently from others. Doctor Yang, you understand me best."

"You also have records of the dosage, the effects on me, and the effects on ordinary people."

Doctor Yang suddenly looked up.

He looked at the Seventh Prince's expression, and after a few seconds, he asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness...what do you want to do?"

Qu Dubian also looked back at him, without any avoidance or hesitation.

"I'll test the medicine for them, shorten the time it takes to develop the formula, and save many lives."
