Liangzhou has become a vast ocean and many houses have been washed away.
Fortunately, arrangements were made in advance and the people and livestock were taken away, so no one was killed.
Governor Chu of Liangzhou Prefecture stood by the window, looking at the rain outside with a sad face. The government office was already submerged in water, but he could not leave because it was his responsibility.
However, his family had been sent to Youzhou, so he didn't have to worry about their safety.
Miss Gao was really smart. She predicted that heavy rain would continue for more than ten days and that this place would turn into a vast ocean, and everything came true.
Next, there is talk of a plague. Will it happen? Fortunately, he has taken measures in advance, so there will not be a large-scale plague breaking out in Liangzhou this time.
The situation in Youzhou was slightly better than that in Liangzhou. Only the low-lying areas were flooded. Fortunately, the villagers were brought out in advance and no one was killed.
Yanzhou was different. It was geographically located at a higher level. Unfortunately, without Gao Zhijun's reminder, the people in the low-lying areas could not be evacuated safely. The flood collapsed the houses in the middle of the night and killed many villagers in their sleep.
And the livestock were drowned in the flood.
The prefects of Youzhou and Yanzhou were worried and restless. Looking at the terrible weather, they both had sad faces and didn't know what to do.
Most of the people and refugees in Liangzhou went to Youzhou for refuge, and they would come back after the flood.
A small number of people chose to go to Yanzhou, where the situation was better than in Youzhou.
What they didn't know was that Yanzhou had not taken proper safety measures, and many villagers there had died. It was the first of the three states where the plague had broken out, and the plague was waiting for them.
Only a few families in Huojia Village chose to go to Taizhou.
Because Huojia Village is going to Taizhou, they went there in a ox cart, and if they go there themselves, they will definitely be taken care of.
Being able to ride on the ox cart means that the villagers have silver in their hands, and as long as they go, they will naturally have silver.
They didn't know that the village head had already expelled several of their families from Huojia Village, and their clan leader had also removed them from the family tree.
Even if they went, no one would recognize them.
Moreover, Liangzhou to Taizhou is a thousand miles away, and it would take a month to travel by ox cart, not to mention walking, which would take at least two months.
It was raining heavily outside. It was hard to say whether they could reach Taizhou and how many of them could arrive in Taizhou alive and safely.
After all, accidents happen every day and no one can avoid them.
That day, Gao Zhijun and her companions encountered some people fleeing on the road. They looked very bad and occasionally coughed.
Bad? It's a plague.
If people walk around the streets like this, it will be easy for them to spread the plague to others, which will lead to a large-scale plague. If it is not controlled well, it will easily result in loss of life.
No, we can’t let the plague spread, the patients must be isolated.
"Everyone, please wear your masks and avoid contact with those people. They have been infected with the plague."
Gao Zhijun spoke to the villagers in the convoy, and her voice also reached the people who were walking.
When the villagers heard about the plague, they panicked and anxiously asked Gao Zhijun, "Miss Gao, what should we do now?"
“Everyone, don’t panic, put on your masks, and let’s go into the city.
I can cure the plague. Settle you down first, and I will go and cure the plague.
We must be cured before we set off, otherwise, we may all be infected with the plague."
Gao Zhijun comforted the villagers and made them believe that she could cure the plague and keep them safe.
The villagers all trusted Gao Zhijun's words unconditionally, and this time was no exception. They all chose to believe Gao Zhijun: "Miss Gao, we trust you! We will do whatever you ask us to do."
"Okay, everyone doesn't need to do anything, just take a good rest."
When the people heard they had contracted the plague, they trembled with fear and muttered incoherently. They all ran over to question Gao Zhijun, but Gao Zhijun shouted and rebuked them, "Stop! Don't come over here. You've already contracted the plague and can't spread it to others. But don't panic! I'm a doctor and I can cure the plague."
Gao Zhijun couldn't let them spread the plague to the villagers of Huojia Village. There were several elderly people among them and they couldn't afford to torment them.
"Girl, can you really cure the plague? Are you kidding me?"
Some people saw that she was so young and thought that even if she knew a little about medicine, she couldn't cure the plague, so she must be a liar.
They forgot that they were all poor people who could barely make ends meet, so what could she possibly cheat them of?
"I didn't lie to you. We came from Liangzhou. Before we arrived, we gave the plague prescription to the prefect. The prefect has already sent the prescription to the capital. I believe that the emperor will soon send the prescription to all prefectures, and everyone will be able to cure the plague."
Gao Zhijun said to the people.
"Miss, you are so arrogant. If you have such ability, why are you so embarrassed? Shouldn't you be treated as a guest of honor?"
"That's right, you're just bragging without even thinking it through. You're just talking nonsense here, spouting nonsense. You're really asking for your own life."
"Kill this liar! She slandered us by saying we had the plague. She has ulterior motives. We must not let her succeed."
"Yes, kill her!"
"Look at all the carts and carriages they have. If we kill the people on them, they will be ours, and their silver will be ours too."
"Yes, if we kill them and take their ox carts, we can ride on them to escape the famine."
Some people began to fan the flames and take the lead in causing trouble, trying to incite the people to kill Gao Zhijun and others.
