slums.
Su Lijin was pulled here by the little girl and taken to a dilapidated temple.
She originally thought that the little girl just brought her here to see a common illness.
But when she stepped into the dilapidated temple, she was immediately shocked.
There were actually more than a dozen people lying in the small, dilapidated temple. They all looked sick and were extremely skinny. The air was filled with the smell of vomit.
Even in the farthest corner, there was a person who had obviously been dead for a long time.
“Hmm…”
Suddenly, a person at my feet was vomiting violently, his eyes rolling up, and he looked like he was about to die.
"Disciple of the miracle doctor, please save them, I beg you." The little girl cried.
Su Lijin looked at the scene in the dilapidated temple, frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
The little girl sobbed, "They suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea. At first, it was just one or two people, but then everyone started having vomiting and diarrhea, and then they had high fevers, and in the end, they burned to death..."
The crowd seemed to sense the commotion here. They looked towards Su Lijin, wailing in pain.
These symptoms...
Su Lijin was shocked when she heard this. If she remembered correctly, these symptoms were exactly the symptoms of plague!
"Besides these people, is anyone else sick?"
Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. If it really was a plague...
"There are a bunch of them outside, and they all have the same symptoms. I'm so scared. Divine Doctor disciple, please save us quickly..."
At the same time, a cry for help was heard behind the little girl.
She squatted down and took a look at the patient at his feet. The more she looked, the more frightened she became.
My heart sank to the bottom. These people are indeed a plague!
"Not good, I'm afraid it has caused some infection."
She suddenly stood up and told the little girl, "Don't leave here. I'm going to report to the police right away. This illness is definitely not simple!"
After saying this, she ran out of the dilapidated temple.
Arriving at the government office, Su Lijin's face was solemn: "Hurry, there's a plague over there in the slums, you guys need to take protective measures!"
The officials were also shocked by the news and hurried to report it.
The situation is urgent. Every minute of delay will cause the plague to spread to a wider area.
Su Lijin went out to buy some cloth, and wrapped a piece of it around the top of her nose to make a face towel.
When she put it on, Tan Tai Chun appeared in front of her.
"What happened?"
Tan Tai Chun looked at her dress and felt a little confused.
Her expression was filled with seriousness: "There's a plague. Over a dozen people in the slums have already shown symptoms. Tell Doctor Lu the news quickly."
"Plague? How could it be so serious?"
This really scared Tan Tai Chun. Seeing that she was covered tightly with a veil, he knew that this was a serious matter, so he immediately went to notify people.
Su Lijin immediately returned to the slums.
This was her first time facing a plague, but it was obvious that the plague was severe and could not be cured quickly like other diseases.
Plague has always been a major problem. Once it breaks out, the disaster it causes will be immeasurable.
The number of casualties among the people was countless. There was once an entire village that was infected by the plague and no one survived.
All these made her feel heavy in her heart.
Arriving at the slums, Su Lijin immediately began to investigate.
She found that the symptoms of these people were basically similar. If they wanted to control the plague, they would probably just need to develop an effective drug to deal with it.
But it is easier said than done.
How could it be so easy to develop medicine to fight the plague?
"Go find a few people who are not infected yet and ask them to come and gather."
She said to the little girl.
The little girl didn't understand what was going on, but she immediately went to inform everyone in the slum.
Soon, nearly seven or eight people came over.
Many of them were extremely thin, but fortunately their symptoms did not appear to be serious.
"Everyone, the situation is urgent now. A plague has broken out here." Su Lijin did not hide anything and told the truth.
When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped.
"Plague? Doesn't that mean there's no cure?"
The plague was so intimidating that people were filled with anxiety and almost looked desperate.
The little girl was so frightened that she took a few steps back: "How could it be a plague? So many people have died. If it really is a plague, wouldn't we all die?"
In the eyes of all of them, the plague is as deadly as sentencing them to death.
"Everyone, listen to me. I know the plague is terrible, but we must unite and fight it together. I will also develop an antidote as soon as possible."
She took out the cloths she had bought earlier and distributed them to everyone: "Give these face cloths to those who are not infected yet, so that they can protect themselves."
"Next, those of you who can still move, immediately build a fence to encircle this area. We must not allow the plague to spread from here to other places. Otherwise, the entire imperial city will be in danger."
Su Lijin briefly told them about the prevention and control matters.
For a time, people in the slums were in panic, but fortunately, thanks to her control, the plague was contained in this area and its scope was not large.
"Where did this plague come from?" Lu Bingqian, who finally arrived, frowned deeply as he looked at the fenced-off slums.
He took one look at the person lying on the ground and immediately concluded that this was the plague.
However, he obviously did not recognize Su Lijin who was wearing a human skin mask.
Seeing this, she took the initiative to walk over, but didn't get close to him through the fence before saying, "Sir, you've finally arrived. The plague here is very serious. I'm afraid we need to develop an antidote immediately to control it."
