Chapter 455: After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic
"Doctor Xiao Chu, you looked so handsome when you were operating on the pregnant woman just now!"
Ding Xiaohui, who dreams of becoming a doctor, expressed deep admiration despite being exhausted.
What she saw was not blood, but the beauty of holding a new life in her own hands.
How is this not handsome?
Chu Yue smiled tiredly, wiped her hands, and took out the chocolate that Fang Xiuli had specially sent her from afar from her pocket. She broke off a piece and put it in her mouth.
The chocolate melts quickly in your mouth and is very sweet.
It really is a gift from Fang Xiuli, it is indeed a good thing.
After taking a bite, Chu Yue handed the chocolate to Ding Xiaohui, "Xiaohui, you have some too, and then we can share it."
Ding Xiaohui was dazed at first. After all, she was so tired that she almost fainted. Her nose was not working and she could not smell anything.
She looked at the strange thing in Chu Yue's hand. It was black and flat, and looked like ointment.
"Doctor Xiao Chu, what is this?"
"chocolate."
"Chocolate, is that the chocolate? So this is chocolate. I've only heard of it in books, but this is the first time I've seen it in person."
Ding Xiaohui suddenly "sat up in shock from her dying illness", her whole body became energetic, and her eyes brightened a little.
She thought about Chu Yue's actions just now, wiped her hands, broke off a small piece of chocolate, and put it in her mouth.
The brown chocolate looked about the same color as the pills. Ding Xiaohui had never eaten anything so novel before, and she was a little scared when she put it in.
She thought to herself that she would not spit it out even if it was extremely bitter.
As long as she eats it, she will be considered a person who has eaten chocolate!
As soon as the chocolate was placed on the tongue, it began to melt immediately after feeling the temperature of the mouth. A sweet taste spread so fast that Ding Xiaohui could not react.
Ding Xiaohui's originally wrinkled face quickly relaxed in the sweetness.
"It's sweet! So sweet! So delicious! No wonder it's so expensive! You can't even find it in regular department stores. You only find it in big cities."
After taking a bite, Ding Xiaohui licked her fingers with satisfaction.
She woke up the nurse who was dozing off with her eyes squinted on the other side. "Wake up, wake up, it's time for some chocolate. Doctor Xiao Chu gave you some chocolate. Hurry up and have a bite."
"What is it? Chocolate? I've never heard of it. Even if you give me dragon meat right now, I'm not in the mood."
Ding Xiaohui simply stopped talking nonsense, broke off the chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth.
The soft and smooth texture and lingering sweet taste spread in your mouth all at once.
Ding Xiaohui raised her eyebrows and said with some pride, "How is it? It's delicious, right? Send it by express and give them some too."
In this way, a small piece of chocolate was passed from one person to another, and each person took a small bite.
The brief sweetness became a comfort in this unexpected disaster.
Chu Yue listened to the soft voices of the people around her, closed her eyes unconsciously, and fell asleep, unable to hold on any longer.
Another day of such high intensity has passed.
The next day was their third day in the disaster area.
Finally, there is good news.
"The rain has stopped—the rain has stopped—the rain has stopped—"
The heavy rain that had been falling continuously for a week finally stopped.
Hearing the shouts of the crowd outside, the medical team members in the tent walked out one by one, and everyone looked up at the sky.
The azure sky after washing with water is as beautiful as a painting.
The bright sunshine had not been seen for a long time, and it was golden all over the ground. In the eastern sky, there was a crescent rainbow.
“It’s a rainbow!”
"What a nice view!"
"Look, there's a rainbow!"
The people who had been tortured by the rainy weather for a long time all came out. Some shouted excitedly, while others shed tears of excitement.
Because as the heavy rain ends, the flood will gradually recede.
Everything is moving in the right direction. As long as they hold on for a few more days, they will be able to return home.
Like everyone else, Chu Yue looked up at the cloudless sky.
As everyone cheered, a heavy sigh came from beside her.
"Alas..." Doctor Hao frowned and said worriedly, "After a great disaster, there will inevitably be a great epidemic."
For doctors, their worries are far from over.
Floods bring a lot of garbage and destroy the original natural ecological balance. Especially the high temperature in summer, it will become a breeding ground for various bacteria and mosquitoes, greatly spreading the risk of disease.
In past historical experience, the number of people who actually died in the flood was far less than the number of people who died in the plague after the flood.
They have a long way to go, and subsequent epidemic prevention work will be the top priority.
Chu Yue listened to Doctor Hao's sigh and handed him two pieces of paper.
Doctor Hao took it with a puzzled look. "What is that... prescription? A prescription for epidemic prevention?"
He looked at Chu Yue in shock.
Doctor Hao thought of "great disasters and epidemics", and Chu Yue naturally thought of them too, and she was well prepared.
"One of the prescriptions was from Doctor Zhou's medical book. I added a few more herbs to it, boiled it, and shared it with everyone. It should have a basic preventive effect."
"This...is made mainly of mugwort. When it's lit, it kills mosquitoes. In villages where the floodwaters have receded, lighting them at intervals can also help prevent epidemics."
"The most important thing is to do a good job of popularizing knowledge among the people. We must make sure they remember not to eat food washed away by the flood, and it's best not to take any items. Don't be greedy for small profits, otherwise it will only harm them."
Doctor Hao held the two prescriptions in his hands as if they were treasures.
He said excitedly, "I will go to the chief right away and have someone go buy the herbs, just as you said! There is hope... there is hope... there is hope..."
Doctor Hao was extremely happy that he brought Chu Yue along on this trip.
The situation is urgent now, and he doesn't have time to talk too much with Chu Yue. When he returns to the military camp, he will find time to have a good chat with Chu Yue. Where did she learn medical skills at such a young age?
No, it is not just medical skills, but a complete set of systematic medical theories.
A doctor's medical skills are his own, and they can only save a few people.
If you have a big picture view, it will be a blessing for countless people.
When Doctor Hao left happily, Chu Yue turned and looked at another place.
It’s the third day…
Her hands dropped to her sides, clenching silently.
…
The other side.
In Chu Yue’s grocery store.
Ye Zhaodi sat behind the counter, her chin in her hand, staring blankly at the "Red Star Grocery Store" opposite with lifeless eyes.
At this moment, she no longer had the anger and worry she had at the beginning towards the rival merchants.
There was only boredom... so bored... so bored that there was not even a fly in the store, leaving her with nothing to do.
