Chapter 239 A deafening roar casts doubt on Xia Yuhuan's safety.
The next moment, Xia Yuhuan raised her eyes and began searching the room.
They quickly found the person who was coughing.
He was a man with a head injury.
The injuries shouldn't be too serious. He bumped his head and scraped it with gauze, and he also had injuries on his hands, which were also bandaged.
He was coughing incessantly, looking like he was about to run out of breath at any moment.
Xia Yuhuan took out a mask and put it on, then quickly walked up to the man.
"Why are you coughing so badly? Do you have a fever?" Xia Yuhuan asked as she quickly took his pulse and examined his body.
"I have a slight fever, feel dizzy, have a headache, and feel unwell. Doctor, please prescribe some medicine for me, I feel so bad."
The man's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Xia Yuhuan weakly.
He didn't appear to have any serious external injuries, which is why he wasn't among the first to be taken out for treatment yesterday.
But he does look unwell right now.
Xia Yuhuan felt very heavy-hearted at this moment.
"How many days have you had this cough and fever?" Xia Yuhuan asked him.
"It started yesterday...the night before last. I had a cough, fever, and weakness. I felt a little better yesterday, but today I feel like I can't even lift my arm; I have no strength," the man said.
Xia Yuhuan didn't dare to delay and immediately got up and called Fang Hao.
"Captain Fang, Captain Fang, are you there?"
Hearing the commotion, Fang Hao quickly came over: "I'm here, Dr. Xia, is there something you need?"
"Are there any rooms available around here?" Xia Yuhuan asked.
"That's all. We've used everything we could. What happened?" Fang Hao asked hurriedly.
“There’s someone whose condition is very unusual. I’m afraid he’s contracted a contagious disease, so I need to arrange a separate room for him to be observed alone,” Xia Yuhuan said in a deep voice.
"What? An infectious disease? That serious?" Fang Hao was immediately shocked.
"Yes. We just went through a major disaster, so many people are seriously injured, have poor resistance and weak immunity. Even if it's not an infectious disease, but just the flu, if it spreads to others and makes them catch a cold, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"We must isolate him to prevent any trouble," Xia Yuhuan said in a deep voice.
Fang Hao didn't dare to delay and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go arrange it right away."
In this situation, even if there are no rooms available, we will squeeze in a room if necessary.
Xia Yuhuan was very confident in Fang Hao's efficiency.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Fang Hao to clear out the room where the soldiers were sleeping and move the injured man into it.
Xia Yuhuan and the others quickly checked the remaining people to see if anyone had a cold, fever, or cough, and planned to have them stay separately to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
Their rapid investigation uncovered three more people with similar cold symptoms.
Xia Yuhuan also had Fang Hao and the others move them into that room. Due to limited space, they could only separate them with a curtain.
But Fang Hao and his group had to wear masks and disinfect themselves whenever they went in and out.
It took all morning to sort out and classify all the injured.
Then she disinfected the entire ancestral hall.
Only after doing all this did Xia Yuhuan feel a little relieved.
After finishing the task, everyone was exhausted.
Zhou Shizui pounded his hands, speaking with rare weariness.
"Is it really necessary to be so nervous? Why make such a fuss? Maybe they just have a common cold."
"The room was full of wounded people. Whether it was the common cold, the flu, or other illnesses, they were all deadly to them."
"It's always good to be cautious in times like these. If it really is a hidden danger, it's a good thing to isolate it in advance," Xia Yuhuan said.
They are currently in the disaster area, where roads are blocked, medicines are scarce, and food is also in short supply. They absolutely cannot allow a more serious and uncontrollable situation to occur.
Deng Qili also collapsed there.
She said, "Although you're right and I support you, this is really exhausting."
She doesn't want to move a single finger now.
Xia Yuhuan said, "It has indeed been hard work for everyone."
"The search and rescue operation in this village has ended, and the treatment and triage of the wounded have also been completed. There shouldn't be much work for a while, so everyone can get some rest."
As she spoke, Xia Yuhuan stood up and walked towards the door.
Deng Qili asked her instinctively, "Where are you going?"
Xia Yuhuan said, "I'll go up the mountain to find some herbs to prevent colds and flu, boil them and give them to these wounded soldiers to prevent them from catching a cold or flu."
Deng Qili said, "Then I'll go with you."
Xia Yuhuan turned to look at her: "Forget it, do you still have the strength?"
Deng Qili: "..."
Very well, Xia Yuhuan has pierced her heart completely, leaving it utterly dead.
"You stay here and keep watch. While I'm gone, it's all up to you. If any unexpected situation arises, you and Dr. Zhou should discuss it together," Xia Yuhuan said.
Deng Qili replied helplessly, "Okay, I understand."
Xia Yuhuan then strode away.
She went to tell Fang Hao that she was going up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs.
Xia Yuhuan originally intended to go by herself.
But she also knew that Fang Hao would never let her go up the mountain alone in such a dangerous situation.
Sure enough, Fang Hao sent two soldiers to accompany her up the mountain to find medicinal herbs.
Fang Hao himself had to coordinate and handle the affairs here; otherwise, he would have preferred to personally escort Xia Yuhuan up the mountain to collect herbs.
Xia Yuhuan led two soldiers up the mountain.
The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, so it is naturally rich in medicinal herbs.
Xia Yuhuan has all the basic medicinal materials she needs.
However, due to the continuous rain, the mountain was slippery and difficult to walk on, and it was easy to slip and fall, so the three of them had a hard time moving forward.
Xia Yuhuan collected several medicinal herbs and showed them to the two soldiers.
“These are the medicinal herbs I need. You can take them as samples, and the three of us can split up and search for them more quickly,” Xia Yuhuan said.
"No, the captain said we must stay with Dr. Xia at all times and absolutely cannot let anything happen to her," the soldier refused.
Xia Yuhuan: "We won't go far. We'll just look around nearby. We can see each other, and if we call out, we can hear each other from that distance."
"Otherwise, it would be a waste of resources for the two of you to follow me."
Under Xia Yuhuan's persuasion, the two reluctantly agreed to her proposal.
The two of them split up and searched in two directions, with Xia Yuhuan at the center.
Fortunately, there were quite a few medicinal herbs in this area, and the two of them quickly filled a basket with them.
Xia Yuhuan picked more than they did.
She also secretly smuggled two precious medicinal herbs from her spatial storage and mixed them in with the other herbs.
These two medicinal herbs are practically the best in terms of prevention.
Adding these two herbs to preventative herbal decoctions can multiply their efficacy several times over.
Xia Yuhuan's purpose in coming to collect herbs was to mix these two herbs into the herbs.
"Dr. Xia, we collected so many, can you check if they're correct?"
Xia Yuhuan examined the herbs they had picked and nodded slightly: "Yes, they're all correct. Let's go down the mountain now."
The three of them had just reached the foot of the mountain when they heard a loud bang.
They all turned around to look, their eyes simultaneously filled with fear.
