Chapter 442 The Black Death

Jiang Ning noticed the worry in Dean Kong's eyes. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she reassured him, "Dean, don't worry."

Dean Kong was taken aback.

Although Jiang Ning didn't say she could cure the Black Death, the smile on her face seemed to say it all.

Watching Jiang Ning lead Doctors Liu and Lü into the ward, Dean Kong concealed his worry and looked at the person beside him, "Has the notice to have blood tests done for everyone who comes to the hospital been sent out?"

"Dean, the notification has been sent out."

“Okay.” Dean Kong’s eyes flickered.

Jiang Ning and the others were on the front lines of the epidemic, so he naturally had to handle the aftermath properly, at least ensuring they had no worries.

Jiang Ning followed the two doctors into the ward and looked at the patient in the bed through their protective suits.

She discovered that the patient in the hospital bed was none other than the homeless man who had come to the hospital to slander her that day!

She then noticed the lymph nodes behind the homeless man's ear.

But there are many causes of swollen lymph nodes, and she never imagined that the homeless man's swollen lymph nodes were caused by the plague.

The Black Death had an incubation period, and anyone who came into contact with it was highly likely to be infected.

The place where this homeless man stayed was the most likely place to get infected, and the homeless people who stayed with him under the bridge were probably in grave danger.

There were also people he had contact with in prison, other prisoners, and police officers.

This investigation is a long-term battle.

During this investigation, the entire capital city will likely be plunged into panic.

Looking at the homeless man, Jiang Ning stepped forward to observe him. Once the Black Death broke out, it would cause fainting and fever, and this homeless man's condition was already very bad.

Regarding plagues, there are already a series of books and documents in the thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine culture, such as "Treatise on Plagues". The symptoms of the Black Death have been identified, and now the task is to treat the symptoms.

Jiang Ning turned to Dr. Lü and asked, "Dr. Lü, do you have paper and a pen?"

Dr. Lü nodded, took out a pen and paper he always carried, and said to Jiang Ning as she reached out her hand, "Dr. Jiang, you tell me, I'll write it down."

Jiang Ning nodded, "Let's first brew Qingwen Baidu Decoction with Anemarrhena, Coptis, Gypsum, etc., and then bring down his high fever."

Dr. Lü quickly jotted down the handwriting.

After taking notes, Dr. Lü asked, "After the fever subsides, what should we do next?"

Jiang Ning had never encountered a plague in the modern world. Although she had a lot of knowledge in her mind, she probably couldn't completely solve the Black Death.

Jiang Ning said, "First, bring down the patient's high fever. If there are any more infected patients, use this prescription to control the Black Death. I need some time."

When Jiang Ning said it would take time, the two doctors didn't say much more. After all, an epidemic is no joke, and everyone needs to spend some time figuring out a solution.

After leaving the ward, Dr. Liu immediately went to arrange for the medicine to be prepared, while Dr. Lü returned to his consultation room and began to peruse medical books.

Because everyone at the hospital had to undergo testing, the lobby was already in chaos when Jiang Ning came downstairs.

Dean Kong is trying his best to calm the somewhat agitated crowd.

Everyone's face was filled with panic; who wouldn't be afraid upon hearing about a plague?

This is a deadly disease!

Dean Kong was surrounded by the crowd, and the more he explained, the more frightened everyone became.

"Have we all gotten infected?"

"Doctor, please give me a straight answer!"

"........"

Everyone was talking at once, eager to hear the results from the hospital director, and no one was cooperating with the examination.

Just then, someone with sharp eyes spotted Jiang Ning.

Everyone rushed forward.

Fortunately, Dean Kong was prepared and immediately had security personnel stop the person.

Jiang Ning said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Please cooperate with the medical staff for examination in an orderly manner. No one wanted this outbreak, but if it infects more people, your families will also be in danger. I will try my best to find a way to control the epidemic."

Jiang Ning calmly reassured the crowd, and the people, who had become agitated out of fear, gradually calmed down.

Dr. Jiang is right. What if they don't cooperate with the examination and put their family members in danger as well?

Dean Kong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people had been appeased.

Jiang Ning has just appeared in the newspapers twice and on the news twice, so people still trust her.

He had just walked over when he heard Jiang Ning say—

"Dean Kong, I need to go home."

Trusting Jiang Ning, he nodded without hesitation, "Okay, you can go back first. I'll keep an eye on things at the hospital."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the large hall full of people. With so many people crowding around, it would be difficult for Jiang Ning to get out.

Just then, several military vehicles suddenly arrived outside the hospital, and many soldiers got out of them.

The person leading the team was Shen Mo.

Jiang Ning walked over quickly and then asked the medical staff to bring out a box of masks.

In the end, only Jiang Ning walked out of the hospital lobby. As the hospital doors closed, Jiang Ning pushed her mask over and said, "Make sure they all wear masks. They've worked hard during this time, so we must keep things under control and prevent any riots."

When faced with important matters, Shen Mo's expression was also cold and stern, and his gaze softened only when it fell on Jiang Ning.

He immediately had the masks distributed.

After arranging for people to distribute the masks, he finally had a moment to ask Jiang Ning, "Honey, where are you going?"

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Jiang Ning asked him.

Shen Mo replied first, "Dean Kong called the military region, and now the military region also knows about the sudden outbreak of the plague. The leaders immediately asked me to bring people over."

Jiang Ning nodded. "Yes, I need to go home. Are the children home?"

Shen Mo said, "I'll have Sister Li look after the children."

Jiang Ning said, "It's fine at Sister Li's house. I'll try not to have any contact with them when I go home."

Shen Mo also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he said, "Wife, I'll take you back."

He then arranged for other people to manage the soldiers he had brought, and drove Jiang Ning back to the family compound.

The military vehicle drove directly to the entrance of the courtyard. Without contacting anyone, they unloaded a box of medical books and put it in the vehicle.

This box of medical books was the one that Grandpa Huang had Huang Xiaodong bring and place at her house.

She had seen content related to the treatment of plague in medical books.

These medical books all belonged to Grandpa Huang, and he naturally knew them much better than she did.

Jiang Ning and Shen Mo brought medical books to Rende Hall. Jiang Ning told Grandpa Huang about the Black Death, and Grandpa Huang immediately led her into an inner room.

Shen Mo helped carry the medical books into the inner room and then came out.

He knew that his wife and Old Master Huang had gone to find a solution to the plague.

Throughout history, plagues have never been something that can be resolved in a day.

But if it drags on, many people will lose their lives, and deep down he still hopes that his wife can create another miracle.
