"good."
After tidying up a bit at the government office, they rushed to Tonghua Town.
It had only been a few days, but the entire Tonghua Town seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, with paper money and white banners floating everywhere. So many people had passed away at once that they no longer had the energy to cry, and they didn't even know if they could live to see tomorrow.
Filled with sadness, the desolate Tonghua Town,
"Shu'er!!!" With a cry of surprise, Gu Can and the others rushed over immediately.
A woman in mourning held a child, about seven or eight years old, in her arms. Gu Can stepped forward to feel the child's pulse. He shook his head at the others. The child was no longer breathing.
“My tree!!”
After arriving at the quarantine area, several people went to see the patients separately. The symptoms of these patients were that they were all healthy people who suddenly fainted, and then their whole body became swollen, their eyes were red, and they couldn't eat anything. But within two or three days, even the strongest people would become emaciated, and then only a layer of skin would be left covering the skeleton, and they would die.
The time from onset to death was so short that there was no possibility of treatment. The source of infection has not yet been determined, and not all people living together have developed the disease.
"This disease is too strange. There is no time for treatment at all. The time between onset and death is too short." Gu Yan said worriedly.
"We can't give up no matter what. Dad and Mom, you go find those bodies that haven't been cremated and buried yet and do a re-autopsy. Guan Yunbai, I'll write a list of epidemic prevention matters later, and you ask the city guards to strictly implement it every day. Yan'er, Xiao Yuanjing, you go find these medicinal herbs, the more the better. However, most of them are on the cliffs, so you must be careful." Gu Can said.
"Okay." No one had any objection to Gu Can's arrangement.
Gu Can stayed alone in the isolation area, giving acupuncture to the most seriously ill patients every day, buying time to study the prescription.
Every minute and every second could mean the difference between life and death for the patients. The heavy rain that had been pouring down for days pounded against the houses, making a dull sound, as if wailing for the misfortune of the town.
"Cancan, you haven't slept for a whole day and night. Take a rest first." Ji Xiaoju brought a bowl of hot soup and advised softly with concern.
"Mom, I'm fine. Now is not the time to rest." Gu Can didn't even raise his head, concentrating on studying the prescription in his hand. From time to time, patients were carried in, and Gu Can would prepare to give acupuncture.
"We have examined all the bodies of the patients we found, and it should be the vampire worms." Ji Xiaoju said.
"It's exactly what I guessed." Gu Can was not surprised.
"You guessed it a long time ago."
"Well, vampire worms are the lowest creatures of the demon clan. They are difficult to observe with the naked eye. Once they enter the human body, they can quickly suck the person dry and then split into countless demon worms to look for other targets. This thing is impossible to guard against and cannot be eliminated unless the entire Tonghua Town is burned down." Gu Can knew about vampire worms.
"Is this the only way?" Ji Xiaoju frowned.
