Chapter 132: Epidemic



Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing was about to go over, but was stopped by Doctor Feng, who led her to an empty corner.

She stopped and turned around to see that Doctor Feng seemed to have remembered something and his face was very pale.

"Why? Mr. Feng knows what the disease is?" She paused slightly and asked softly, "But is it contagious?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Feng exclaimed in shock, "I hope I made a mistake... From observing his condition and taking his pulse, I believe he has constipation!"

Constipation?

That is dysentery, an intestinal disease caused by bacterial infection.

In this era when we had no knowledge of bacteria, this disease was a terrifying existence second only to smallpox and leprosy!

Si Jinxing calmed himself down, took out the protective suit, mask and gloves from his sleeve, and handed another set to Doctor Feng, saying:

"You know this disease is contagious, so doctors must not fall down at this time. The people outside the city are waiting for us! You must take care to protect yourself. This clothing can provide protection. Put it on and come over."

As Si Jinxing spoke, she wrapped herself up skillfully, turned around quickly and walked towards the crowd.

A large amount of daily necessities had been sent out of the city at this time.

The city gate captain Wu Zhong was previously controlled by the patrol camp and was not allowed to interfere with their mission. Now he took two city guards out of the city to assist in the distribution of supplies, setting up tents and other matters.

However, Qi Moli had noticed this as early as when Doctor Feng was talking to Si Jinxing with a frown.

He walked over quickly and saw that the little girl was wearing a strange white dress, with her hair and even her shoes covered tightly!

If she wasn't the only female doctor here, he wouldn't have recognized her.

He frowned slightly, feeling that the child's illness might not be simple!

As expected, the girl checked the child's mouth, nose, and eyes, took his pulse, and then stood up and said sternly:

"This disease is called dysentery, which is what you have heard of as constipation. It is also called intestinal dysentery. It is an epidemic disease."

As soon as she said this, the people around were stunned, and then they reacted and cursed:

"Who are you? How dare you talk nonsense!"

"Do you know that spreading rumors to mislead the public will result in beheading?"

......

But even though they cursed, they quickly dispersed, running around like headless flies, and then there were deafening cries of grief and shouting to the sky!

Epidemic!

That means everyone here will suffer from a fatal disease!

Some people were holding their children and crying loudly, while others were shouting that the world was unfair.

Some people also ran to the grain camp, trying to grab some food and escape, and had disputes with the soldiers escorting the grain.

Some people even ran to the city gate to go into the city to see a doctor!

Only the mother of the sick child was holding her unconscious child, silent.

Si Jinxing exchanged a glance with Qi Moli who was not far away. She knew that he had confidence in himself!

Qi Moli jumped onto a huge rock on the side of the road and shouted:

"Listen to what I have to say!"

The voice was cold and hard, making people feel cold!

The cries, cries for help, and pleas all stopped!

Thousands of disaster victims and hundreds of officers and soldiers in the capital all looked at King Mo Ying with a gloomy face.

Yes, he is King Mo Ying! Rumor has it that he has countless lives on his hands!

If they continue to make trouble, will they also become lonely souls under his command?

"The one who just diagnosed the child was the Princess of Anping County, personally appointed by the current emperor!

Her medical skills are outstanding, with her here, you don't have to worry!"

He paused and said loudly:

"Success or failure, this king is with you!"

Si Jinxing looked up at the man on the boulder. He was still wearing a black robe, and his black hair fluttered and scattered in the autumn wind.

His eyes beneath his sword-like brows were filled with determination!

He said he would fight the disease together with the people. He has always been a responsible person!

King Mo Ying ignored his own safety and stayed with them, which gave the victims outside the city more confidence.

Dysentery is highly contagious, and people who already have symptoms must be isolated to prevent more people from being infected.

Fortunately, at present, all the cases are mild and no severe cases have appeared yet, so it is discovered in time.

Si Jinxing informed Qi Moli of the arrangements and plans, then turned and entered an empty tent.

She took out the medicines needed for dysentery from Xinglin Yaxu one by one.

Antibiotics, antipyretics, painkillers, saline solution, disposable infusion sets, disposable syringes, etc.

She kept digging and digging until a small hill of dirt had piled up on the ground.

She called Luzhu, Zisu, and Qingchan, and asked them to remove the outer packaging of the medicines and move them to the ten isolation tents.

Green Bamboo and Green Chan had seen many things come out of their young lady's sleeves, but they had never seen so many...

But now is not the time to ask these questions, so they all got busy.

She called Bai Xi over to carry out two large boxes of disposable masks and asked the people in the patrol camp to distribute them one by one.

More than a dozen people have entered one of the isolation tents.

They sat or lay on the matted ground with expressionless faces, their hearts already dead!

I heard that when a plague broke out in the early years, the government ordered the patients to be locked up in a room alone and left to fend for themselves.

In fact, those people did not die of illness in the end, but starved to death!

When Si Jinxing walked into the tent, he saw that they all had pale faces and dull eyes, as if they had lost all life.

She understood and said as she distributed the medicine:

"Isolating you here doesn't mean I'm ignoring you. I will do my best to treat you."

However, those people acted as if they didn't hear anything and didn't even look at the woman in white. They just ate the medicine.

That white dress is only worn when mourning the dead!

It’s really bad luck!

But they didn't dare to say that the relationship between this woman and King Mo Ying must be complicated. She seemed to be a county lady.

They can't afford to offend.

At this time, all the victims were settled in the tents, and the porridge and rice were ready!

Wu Zhong then directed the victims to take turns coming out of their tents to eat.

However, the people in the ten isolation tents were not allowed to come out and were sent into the tents by soldiers wearing masks and wrapped tightly.

All the disaster victims have been running around for more than a month, and now they see steaming, thick and fragrant rice porridge!

They just felt their eyes were sore. No matter what would happen tomorrow, they finally had a hot meal today!

Qi Moli walked around the tents but didn't see the young woman. However, he found Si Jinxing sitting on the ground resting under a big tree.

He couldn't help but feel distressed. This girl couldn't even take care of herself when she was busy!

But before he could say anything, he heard someone shouting from a distance:

"Oh no! Hurry up and call the county lady! Someone has bloody stool!"
