When they arrived at the cook's dormitory, the military doctor and Gu Beiting both went in.
However, Gu Beiting still asked the military doctor to continue wearing a mask. The military doctor was very dissatisfied with Gu Beiting for mobilizing such a large force just for a self-righteous idea.
"It's just a cold. I've already taken the medicine."
"Don't go in if you don't wear a mask. Haven't you been trained in the medical team? You don't even know the most basic rules." Gu Beiting was angry and scolded him angrily.
"Am I a military doctor or are you a military doctor?" The man put on a mask and went in angrily.
Gu Beiting went in and told the lying Xiao Teng that she was there to take his pulse. Xiao Teng shook his head, "I don't need a pulse check. I've taken the medicine and I've sweated a lot better."
"Let me take a look at you."
Xiao Teng's eyes widened, and she quickly huddled under the covers. "How can a girl like you want to see a man's body? Aren't you ashamed?"
The bearded man grabbed Gu Beiting and said coldly:
"Doctor He, check me carefully."
Gu Beiting's face flushed crimson, and she tried to shake off the bearded man's hand. The bearded man almost always had the same expression: no expression.
He glanced at Gu Beiting and said, "Let Doctor He check this dirty and smelly guy." His voice softened a lot.
Gu Beiting did not struggle anymore, but still looked at Xiao Teng's arm carefully.
"Wait. What's that?" Gu Beiting asked, pointing at a small red spot near Xiao Teng's armpit when she saw Doctor He preparing to cover the quilt.
Doctor He took a closer look and said, "It's probably a skin rash. It's a common thing for these rough guys."
"Please ask Military Doctor He to check again. County Magistrate Zhou has ordered the city gates to be closed and people who have had contact with Datian Village to be investigated." Gu Beiting frowned. This Military Doctor He really should be sent to the medical team for training.
Doctor He was uneasy. A woman came to the camp and gave orders. General Qiu had forgotten the rules of the camp and allowed this woman to give orders blindly.
But still check carefully.
Doctor He was in his forties and had originally been a military doctor with this unit. He had little experience with leprosy, but he did have some knowledge of it.
After a careful inspection, I felt something was not right.
"General, please all go out. I will check again carefully." Doctor He's face darkened.
Seeing this, several deputy generals hurriedly asked the bearded man to go out first.
Everyone waited outside the door in silence.
The bearded man understood what was going on. "Come here. Take control of Datian Village. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Wait a minute. I still have a lot of masks here, you can take them and use them." Gu Beiting took off the medical bag on her back, took out all the masks inside and handed them to one of the centurions.
"Anyone who comes into contact with Datian Village must cover their mouths and noses. Leprosy is transmitted through airborne droplets, so you must be careful." After a pause, Gu Beiting took out a bottle of disinfectant and said, "Dilute this disinfectant and distribute it. Remember to disinfect your hands when washing them."
The captain glanced at the bearded man and saw him nod slightly. He took the item and left.
Gu Beiting suppressed her nervousness and looked at the bearded man. "I need someone to go to Mengjiazhuang to get something for me. I'll write down what I need, and you can send someone to get it back."
"You leave too."
Gu Beiting shook her head and said, "No, Doctor He may not know as much about leprosy as I do. I must stay."
"This is the military, you have to leave."
"I'm Gu Beiheng's sister. I have a responsibility to protect his soldiers." Gu Beiting refused to budge. "I'll leave once the garrison camp is clear. I'm also needed in Datian Village and other places."
Looking at Gu Beiting's stubborn eyes, the bearded man suddenly realized that he should let her stay.
He has selfish motives at this moment.
Would it be more dangerous to go to Datian Village?
"Okay. You can stay, but you have to follow my instructions."
"Okay." Gu Beiting wrote down what she needed on a piece of paper without hesitation. There were many things she needed. The first thing she wanted was to ensure that these soldiers would not be infected.
"Please send someone over."
The bearded man took it and looked at it. He knew there were too many things he needed. "Captain Shen, send a team of 100 people to Mengjiazhuang. Find Peng Laosan or the person in charge of the Gu family compound."
"Yes." Shen Qianhu took the paper and left quickly.
The door finally opened.
Doctor He opened the door with a dejected look on his face, which made everyone feel depressed.
"General, it's most likely leprosy. It's likely someone has already been infected, but it hasn't been discovered yet." Doctor He looked at Gu Beiting apologetically and bowed deeply, saying, "Miss Ting, I'm sorry. You're right, I should go to the medical team for training."
"No one expected this to happen." Gu Beiting spread her hands indifferently. "The most urgent thing is to prescribe some medicine and boil some potions for everyone to drink. We still need to take precautions."
"And Xiao Teng must be sent to a place farther away from the crowd. I'll go there every day to treat him." After thinking for a moment, Gu Beiting said, "I'll live nearby for the time being."
"No. The military doctor will be in charge of Xiao Teng's case." The bearded man interrupted Gu Beiting. "Go back and rest first."
He raised his chin, and a personal soldier came over and made an inviting gesture.
Gu Beiting had no choice but to leave with his personal guards and return to the bearded man's tent to rest.
The bearded man did not sleep. He was busy sending people to move the small vine to another place, and ordered people to disinfect and seal off the room.
The military doctor and the cooks began to organize the medicinal materials and boil the medicine.
Every cook was terrified, thinking that if the disease really spread, the kitchen would be the first to be affected. Everyone quickly lit the stove and began to boil the herbs.
Datian Village was soon awakened.
Before any movement could be heard in Datian Village, two men in black left with strange smiles on their faces, holding a bundle wrapped in oilcloth.
Both men were dressed in black and wore black veils.
"Let's go to Jin'an Prefecture now."
This happened except in Yun County.
Similar things happened in several prefectures of Dayue, several places of Beiliang, and prefectures of Nanli. Even in Dongqi, similar things happened.
Even some people from the small tribes near the East China Sea left behind some clothes.
The clothes were made of good material, but they were all clothes worn by lepers, and there were droplets left on them.
Yunzhou City.
Ying Wu and Lu Feifei came back from outside and found someone sneaking around Gu's house.
"Shadow Five. This guy is obviously full of evil intentions."
"Follow them."
The wandering man saw that no one was around, so he opened his bundle and dropped a fur cloak. The man covered his mouth and nose, and even covered his hands with a handkerchief.
After dropping the cloak, the man left.
Ying Wu gave a signal and someone followed him.
He took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, thought for a moment, and finally lit a fire with a flint, burning the cloak directly. Ying Wu knew that Ke Lao led his men away because he heard that a leper had appeared.
The current situation forces him to be careful.
Soon, the man who lost the cloak was caught. Ying Wu did not send him to the secret room, but took him directly to a slaughterhouse in the corner of the backyard and tortured him severely.
The man soon couldn't bear it anymore and confessed.
Ying Wu's face was grim, and he ordered the Gu Mansion to be sealed off. No one in the Gu Mansion should leave for the time being, as all supplies in the mansion could be met anyway.
There are seasonal vegetables in the backyard, and chickens, ducks and geese are raised next door.
There were also many fish and shrimps in the pond in the back garden, so there was no need to worry about running out of food. At the same time, Ying Wu sent someone to deliver a letter to the Yun and Xuan families.
The medical school in Yunzhou City also received the letter.
To this day, leprosy is still not a problem.
All the householders in Yunzhou City who received the letter took action. On the one hand, they ordered that no one in the house could go out without necessary matters, and all those who went out had to have a list.
On the one hand, start boiling decoction for prevention.
Several family heads and the dean of Yunzhou City Medical College also held an emergency meeting.
