After a while, Xie Yunjiao suddenly felt that there was no movement outside, so she tried to push the door.
When Lao He saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Forget it, they won't let us out."
He thought, it was a good thing that he was trapped in the house, Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao were all studying in the Mengxiao school outside, at least they were fine.
Xie Yunjiao found that Lao He's voice was a little strange. She turned around and found that Lao He's face was flushed and he seemed to have a fever.
Damn, could he have been infected in such a short time?
If that's the case, then she's also infected?
But she didn't feel anything yet. She thought her body's immunity should be very good, thanks to the fact that she drank some spiritual spring water every day.
Although it is not much, it can also help strengthen the body.
Xie Yunjiao took Lao He's pulse and found that he was really infected. His pulse at this moment was exactly the same as that of a person with plague.
The master is not around at the moment, and even if he were, he might not be able to find a way to solve the plague.
If there really was a way to control the plague, so many people wouldn't have died.
I heard that not long ago, there was a plague in a village. In just a few days, almost everyone in the village was infected and later wiped out.
The entire village was burned.
She had used a lot of the spiritual spring water she had saved to save the piglet, and there wasn't much left now.
If the disease really breaks out on a large scale, she is afraid that she will not be able to save everyone.
At this moment, she had to ask the officials outside to find a way to isolate the sick people so that those who were not infected could be spared.
Xie Yunjiao pushed the door hard, but it opened immediately. She even staggered and almost fell to the ground because she pushed too hard.
She looked up and saw that there was no one there. The door was empty, not a single person.
Xie Yunjiao heard crying from Zhou Jinhai's house, and went over to ask, only to find out that the officials had just ignored Zhou Jinhai and directly ordered the entire family to be sealed off.
"Sister-in-law, if the village is really closed, I'm afraid none of us will survive." Xiaoyu said sadly.
It would be fine if they were adults, but the child is still young and is just learning to speak. She doesn't want the child to suffer with them.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the village." Xie Yunjiao patted Xiaoyu's hand and left in a hurry.
Xie Yunjiao hurried to Gu Lichang's house, but she didn't expect that Gu Lichang was also looking for her and had already visited her house.
The village is now sealed off, and most villagers know about it. It is said that the plague spread from Lao He's family, so the village was sealed off.
Some villagers went to Lao He's house with torches, intending to burn it down.
The children had just come out of the Mengguan school. When they heard that someone was going to burn down their house, they rushed back to the door and shouted for their parents. Seeing the villagers shouting at their house in a ferocious manner, they were scared and burst into tears.
Only He Sheng was relatively calm, but he was just a child, and all he could do was comfort his trembling younger brother and sister. The three of them huddled together, looking like abandoned puppies.
"You're all adults, can't you be more rational?" Xie Yunjiao's voice rang out from behind them. "Even if you burn down the He family's house now, will everything be alright? We still don't know the source of the plague, and we don't know if anyone else has been infected besides the He family.
If more people in our village continue to die from the plague and the epidemic cannot be controlled, I am afraid that everyone in our village will die."
Xie Yunjiao's words were so powerful that everyone fell silent instantly, their faces filled with panic. "So what should we do?"
"Don't panic, everyone. As long as we control the epidemic and no one gets hurt by the plague, our village will be unsealed soon," said Xie Yunjiao.
She asked everyone to cover their mouths with thick cloths, and then line up with a distance of one meter between each person so that she could take her pulse.
After an hour of auscultation, Xie Yunjiao finally screened out a dozen patients infected with the plague.
The villagers were all shocked. They thought that only the He family was in trouble, but they didn't expect that other people were also infected with the plague, but they just hadn't shown it yet.
"Gu Huai's family, are you sure you are right? Maybe you made a mistake. Don't hurt everyone."
"That's not true. You are not a real doctor, just a half-baked one. What makes you say that we are also infected with the plague?" The speaker was a relative of Lao He's family, who lived near Lao He's house. That day, Lao He's family was eating braised meat, and he even went to Lao He's house and knocked on the door, asking Lao He to give him meat.
Although Lao He felt distressed at that time, he still gave him half a pound of meat.
They hadn't eaten meat in a long time, so everyone was very happy when they suddenly had meat to eat.
I didn't expect that something would happen soon after I was happy. It's really like too much joy leads to sorrow.
Xie Yunjiao discovered that those infected with the plague were all from the vicinity of Lao He's home.
From this, it can be concluded that the source of the plague is most likely Lao He's family, so Lao He's wife and children became ill and passed away first.
But the He family looked clean and didn’t look unhygienic at all. How did they get the plague?
"Chief Gu, first isolate the dozen or so people who have been diagnosed with the virus in the ancestral hall. No one else should come near you, no matter what."
Xie Yunjiao paused, and asked Gu Lichang to prepare a lot of equipment and lime for disinfection. She also wrote a prescription, which contained medicinal herbs that could be found everywhere in the village. She asked Gu Lichang and others to help pick the herbs.
But Village Chief Gu and the others were having a headache because they only had the names of herbs but no pictures, and they didn’t understand.
If Xie Yunjiao were asked to draw them one by one, it would take a lot of time.
Xie Yunjiao was having a headache when she suddenly thought of someone and hurriedly asked Gu Lichang to find Doudou.
She regretted her words as soon as they came out of her mouth, because Doudou had not returned yet and was probably quarantined outside the village entrance by now.
"Mother!"
When Xie Yunjiao heard Doudou's sweet call, her body stiffened, and she thought she was having an illusion.
She turned her head and saw Doudou and Lian Jin flying towards her.
She froze for a moment, and when they were still some distance away from her, she said to them, "Stop, don't come near me."
She has come into contact with so many patients, and she must be carrying some virus on her body. It would be bad if she infected the children.
When Doudou heard her say this, she suddenly stopped and looked at her with red eyes, almost crying: "Mother..."
"You hadn't returned when the village was sealed off, so why are you here?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"When we came back, the village was indeed sealed off and people were not allowed to enter or leave. We said we were from this village and might have been infected with the plague, so they let us in," said Lian Jin.
No need to guess, this idea must have been proposed by Doudou.
Xie Yunjiao looked at Doudou helplessly: "You are such a fool! This place is not safe at all, and you still insist on coming here."
