Chapter 457 How terrible is the word "epidemic"!

"Ahem..." The young soldier from the Qi Family Army who had come to deliver the news coughed twice before anxiously describing the situation in the Sixth District. "Many people in the Sixth District have suddenly fallen ill. Even Master Zhang and Boss Wei have been affected."

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Xuanji Zhang and Wei Lin, despite their sick bodies, discussed and decided to send people to the seventh-class district for help.

Yun Fu was leisurely holding the teacup, sipping the clear tea brewed with snow water. Upon hearing this, she immediately put the teacup down and frowned: "How many people are there?"

The man said, "At first, there weren't many cases, but within half a month, half the people in the entire sixth-class area had contracted the acute disease, and the doctors were helpless. That's why Master Zhang sent me to the seventh-class area to find you, Master Qi."

"Half of the people have been infected in just half a month?" Yun Fu immediately realized that this disease might be highly contagious.

A pair of watery eyes fell on the newcomer and paused. "You stay in this room. Don't run around and don't contact anyone. I'll have someone bring water and food and leave them at the door."

If the disease is contagious, then the person may also be carrying the virus.

Yunfu feels that simple isolation measures are still necessary.

He immediately ordered that this person be taken to the seventh-class area, and all those who had close contact with him be placed in a yard, also separated from other people.

After doing all this, Yun Fu asked someone to find Cheng Qingyan and Qi Xu.

She and Qi Hanzhou had just been in the same room with that person, so she covered her mouth and nose with cloth when talking to him.

"Someone's coming from the Sixth District. There's probably an epidemic there. I have to go there immediately."

The incident happened suddenly, and Cheng Qingyan and Qi Xu were both shocked.

Each one looked uglier than the other.

Because they all know how terrible the word "epidemic" is!

Yun Fu briefly explained some matters that would take place after her departure.

"Those in quarantine need to be observed for at least ten days to ensure they have no symptoms before they can be released. Additionally, food and drinks should be delivered to them, avoiding face-to-face contact. Those delivering supplies to them need to cover their mouths and noses with cloth. Their used utensils should be boiled in water..."

Yunfu is still not sure what kind of disease has suddenly occurred in the sixth-class area, so she can only treat it as an infectious disease.

"I need to go to the sixth-class area to check what kind of illness it is to confirm it. If there are any special circumstances, I will have someone send the information back."

Qi Xu assured her: "I'm here in the seventh district."

She is also a healer.

Yun Fu didn't dare to delay after she finished explaining what she needed to say.

Together with Qi Hanzhou, he immediately set off for the sixth-class area.

——

The situation in the sixth-class area was even more serious than Yun Fu had imagined.

Along the mountain road leading to the sixth-class area, there are basically no people at the checkpoints along the way.

Even if there were one or two figures, they all looked sick.

There is no doubt that these people have been infected.

Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou, their faces covered with cloth, stood at a distance from the guards and shouted, "Don't stand guard here anymore, go back and rest!"

"Seventh Master, General!" The guard recognized the two men. "Ahem, ahem, if we leave, ahem... there will be no one to stand guard."

Yun Fu said bluntly, "Given your current situation, staying here won't do you any good. If the enemy really comes, you won't be able to fight them off, and you won't be able to escape either."

All in all, there's no need to stay here.

After persuading these people, Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou rushed to the old hall of Naihe Hall without stopping.

Along the way, we met many people who were sick.

Yun Fu took a quick look and wrote down the symptoms they showed one by one.

I suspect it might be a flu-like illness.

But it cannot be completely confirmed at present. We need to find a few patients and conduct further diagnosis before we can confirm it.

"Seventh Master! Ahem... You're finally here!" Xuanji Zhang saw the two figures appearing in the yard, immediately jumped up from his chair, and strode forward to greet them.

It was like seeing relatives whom I hadn’t seen for many days.

Yun Fu gestured to him from a distance: "Stop, stand there and don't move."

After that, he raised his hand and threw a piece of cotton cloth used to cover his face at him: "Fold a few layers, like us, wear it on your face, covering your mouth and nose."

"Oh." Xuanji Zhang didn't ask why he had to wear it, but obediently folded the cloth into several layers and covered his mouth and nose with it.

There is no need to ask, everything Qi Ye does must have her reasons.

Yun Fu took a few steps forward, asked him to stretch out his wrist, took his pulse, and asked about the specific situation after he became ill.

After some diagnosis, the results came out.

"It's probably the flu."

"Cow fever?" Xuanji Zhang and Qi Hanzhou had never heard of this disease. "Does this thing have anything to do with cows?"

Yun Fu corrected him: "It's the flu, the flowing stream, not the cow that plows the land."

Regardless of which cow it was, Xuanji Zhang now wanted to know: "Will this disease kill me? I'm still young and haven't lived enough."

Yun Fu raised her eyelids and said truthfully, "If it's not treated in time, it will be fatal."

Influenza is not a fatal disease in modern times, but under the extremely backward medical conditions in the five countries, it is a plague that can cause large-scale deaths.

Yun Fu remembered reading in an ancient medical book that in a certain ancient country, a flu swept through a city, and there was not a single survivor in the entire city, which shows how serious the disease was.

The people in the sixth district were lucky enough to meet her.

Yun Fu glanced at Xuan Ji Zhang, who had a grim expression on his face: "Don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here."

In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many treatment options for influenza, and there are also quite a few prescriptions.

The most famous prescriptions are Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang, Da Huang and Yin Qiao San.

However, with the development of traditional Chinese medicine, Lianhua Qingwen was developed based on these three prescriptions.

Yunfu picked up the pen and finally wrote down the prescription for Lianhua Qingwen on the paper.

At the same time, let Xuanji Zhang give orders to take some measures to prevent the further spread of the influenza virus.

"Open all doors and windows to keep the air in the house circulating and avoid crowds. This disease is mainly transmitted through droplets, so people should not be too close to each other."

"In addition, wash your hands frequently to avoid contact with the flu virus through your hands and then touching your mouth, nose and other places."

"People who have been in contact with influenza patients should not take it lightly even if they do not have symptoms. They need to take some medicine to prevent infection."

…

So the question is, if you want to cure the disease, you need a complete set of medicinal materials. Yun Fu personally went to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored in the sixth-class area.
