Chapter 201 It Can’t Be a Plague
The next morning, Li Suining just woke up and saw Yang Heng coming over panting.
"Second Young Master, this is bad..." He looked obviously panicked, "There are a few more people suffering from colds in the wounded camp."
Bai Yu'an frowned and walked out quickly, "Where are those guys from yesterday? Are they feeling better?"
He noticed that the little girl was about to follow him again, and immediately said in a cold voice, "Li Suining, you wait here obediently, and you are not allowed to follow me."
Yang Heng also nodded to Li Suining, "Yes, little Suining, don't come."
Soon, the two left together, and Yang Heng explained the situation to Bai Yu'an as they walked.
"I've been giving medicine to the person who was acting up yesterday. Strangely, their symptoms would improve after taking the medicine, but usually they'd be back to normal after about two hours."
Yang Heng was a little scared. "This morning, I saw that the number of people with fever and cough was almost twice as much as yesterday."
Bai Yu'an didn't say much, but he unconsciously quickened his pace and hurried to the wounded camp.
Little Tuanzi waited anxiously. When she saw Qingyun coming in with food, she immediately asked worriedly, "Brother Qingyun, what's the situation outside? Are many people in the wounded camp sick?"
"It seems so." Qingyun was also wondering in his heart. When he went to give Li Suining breakfast just now, he seemed to hear the sound of a soldier coughing softly.
Bai Yu'an didn't come back until the afternoon, looking a little worried.
"Second brother, have you eaten?" Li Suining immediately ran up and asked with concern.
"Yeah." Bai Yu'an actually just took a bite casually, but he really didn't feel like eating anything now. He had a bad feeling that the disease in the wounded camp seemed to be coming in more severe form this time.
He always felt that the pulses of those people were a little strange, similar to those caused by colds, but also different, something he had never encountered before.
"Second brother," Little Tuanzi followed behind Bai Yu'an, "How are the people in the wounded camp doing? Are they feeling better?"
"No." Bai Yu'an sighed, then turned around and reminded Li Suining, "Okay, Li Suining, I'm busy now, go play by yourself."
"Oh, then I won't disturb my second brother." Little Dumpling wanted to secretly go to the wounded camp to take a look.
"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, Bai Yu'an saw through her thoughts and said, "Don't run around. It's best to stay here. Especially, don't sneak into the wounded camp. Do you hear me?"
"Okay then." Little Dumpling was a little disappointed, but she was very obedient and didn't want to make her second brother worry.
Bai Yu'an asked again, "By the way, have you seen anything special recently?"
Little Dumpling shook her head. She knew that her second brother was asking if Xingxing had said anything, but she really didn't find anything strange.
"Well, then go and have fun." Bai Yu'an immediately went to look up some data in a book.
Time passed quickly. In the evening, Yang Heng came again, and his face was pale.
"What happened?" Bai Yu'an immediately realized something was wrong and asked anxiously before the bearded man could speak.
"Second Young Master..." Yang Heng, who had obviously come in a hurry, panted for a while before finally being able to speak, "Second Young Master, someone in the wounded battalion is vomiting blood."
"What?" Bai Yu'an's face also turned pale. He immediately put down what he was holding and ran out.
Little Dumpling also stood up and wanted to follow.
"You're not allowed to go." When they reached the door, Bai Yu'an looked at Qingyun, "Keep an eye on her. She's not allowed to go anywhere."
Qingyun nodded hesitantly.
Little Dumpling could only anxiously advise, "Second brother, do your best!"
Bai Yu'an quickly arrived at the wounded camp and saw two pools of blood on the ground not far away. It was obvious that two people had vomited blood.
Moreover, the blood on the ground was in a spurting shape, obviously it was vomited very quickly.
The entire wounded camp was filled with coughing sounds, and many people's faces were pale, looking even scarier than when he left.
"Second Young Master," a military doctor standing next to the bloodstain shouted, "This patient...is dead."
"Ah?" There were exclamations of fear all around.
"Let me take a look." Bai Yu'an immediately strode forward and began to check the man's condition.
Not far away, another soldier who had just vomited blood coughed and said to Bai Yu'an, "Second Young Master, save me, save me, I don't want to die, I..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fell back onto the bed, twitched a few times, and died.
The entire camp of wounded soldiers became restless again, and some people covered their mouths tightly, not daring to cough.
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening, and couldn't help but fear that they were about to die too.
"Everyone, please be patient." Bai Yu'an raised his voice to reassure everyone, "This illness is strange. The other military doctors and I are still trying to find a solution. We will definitely save everyone."
Yang Heng also spoke tremblingly beside him, "Indeed, I have never seen such a situation before, so everyone give us some time, it will be fine, you will all be fine."
However, the suppressed cough seemed to reveal that everything was not that simple.
Bai Yu'an carefully examined the two dead soldiers, but still found nothing. He knew that he had encountered an unprecedented problem.
When he and Yang Heng went to deal with the corpses, both of them were silent and had very ugly expressions.
"Second Young Master, do you think they are suffering from a cold?" Yang Heng asked tentatively, "Also, why are more and more people falling ill? If this continues..."
"Big Beard, you..." Bai Yu'an recalled some records he had read in the book, "Do you know about the plague?"
Yang Heng's eyes widened in shock. "Impossible! We live in a place like this, isolated from the outside world. How could a plague suddenly break out?"
Bai Yu'an didn't say anything. He wasn't sure. After all, he had only been a doctor for four years and had never really come into contact with the plague.
"Second Young Master, don't overthink it. It can't be the plague." Yang Heng said confidently, "The plague needs someone to spread it. Do you think it's possible? Have any of us come into contact with someone who has the plague?"
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. "The place where the Bai family army goes most often is the town. But if there was a plague in the town, we wouldn't be unaware of it, so it can't be the plague."
Bai Yu'an nodded, "I hope so. I'll go back and research a few more prescriptions and try them on the remaining patients."
"Okay!" Yang Heng wiped the sweat off his face from the fright he had just experienced.
He couldn't imagine that if a plague really broke out in the army, the entire Bai family army would probably be wiped out.
Bai Yu'an dragged his tired body back to the tent.
