Chapter 913 Begins to Spread
A young daughter-in-law came in with firewood, and when she heard her mother-in-law coughing, she hurried over.
"Mother-in-law, if you are not feeling well, let me cook."
"It's just some porridge, it's not a big deal, cough cough cough."
A young man also came in and looked at her. Although he felt it was a bit awkward to say such things, he couldn't help but cough when he heard her coughing again.
"Mom, didn't Master You and the others say that those who went to help distribute porridge should not go home for the time being? Are they afraid of being infected by the disaster victims? You went to help before, so—"
The woman froze. "No, no way? I didn't go yesterday. I came back the day before yesterday."
I said yesterday that those who went to help cannot go home for the time being and have to stay in the resettlement site.
She happened to have taken leave the night before yesterday for something, and after hearing the news, she didn't go there again.
Yesterday, officials came to her house to ask if she was feeling unwell. However, she had not started coughing yesterday and was just a little chilly. At that time, she thought she might be tired and did not sleep well. She did not think she was sick, so she said no.
Result 3 started coughing today.
"A lot of people were taken away from the resettlement site today. They said they had a contagious disease, like typhoid fever."
"Huff!"
The woman sneezed, her face turned pale, and she quickly moved away from the stove.
"Then don't come near me, I, I'm going back to the house!"
"Mom!" Her son called her, "How about I take you to see Doctor Fu?"
He had been to the capital before, so he was quite knowledgeable. And most importantly, Dr. Fu's treatment was free, and Dr. Fu was not only the princess of Jun, but also a miracle doctor who had joined the Great Medical Association.
If I get sick now and don't go to see Doctor Fu, when should I go?
"Mother-in-law, go and take a look and feel at ease." The daughter-in-law also advised her.
"What if I really have that disease and they lock me up too?" The woman was very powerful.
They don’t know whether they can be cured by being locked up. If they can’t be cured, will they die there?
"Mom, Doctor Fu is a miracle doctor. She will definitely be able to cure it. Besides, you may just have a common cold."
"But if it weren't for——"
"If it's that kind of disease, we don't know what to do if you're at home. Are we just going to watch?"
The woman was finally persuaded. She packed two sets of her own clothes, took her own bowl and chopsticks, and prepared to go to the clinic.
But when she passed a house in an alley, she heard someone inside coughing loudly.
The person living here is Old Wu, who came back from visiting his relatives half a month ago. There is not much people left in Old Wu's family. His daughter married and moved far away, and he only visits her once every few years.
As they were neighbors, the woman naturally knew him.
Now it seems that Old Wu is sick?
No wonder I haven’t seen him go out these days.
The woman thought about it and was about to go forward and knock on the door, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she quickly retracted it.
She didn't know whether she was infected with the disease or whether Old Wu was also infected, but what if only one of them was infected with the disease, if she went in now, wouldn't she be harming the other person?
I remembered what the official had said before, that if you know anyone is sick, has a high fever, body aches, or coughs, you have to report it.
She thought it would be better to go to the clinic first.
The woman did not let her son and daughter-in-law accompany her. She wrapped her mouth and nose with cloth and went to the hospital by herself.
She originally thought she didn't have a high fever, but when she walked to the medical office, she felt dizzy and her breath felt hot.
"It's not good."
The woman's heart sank, and when she saw someone coming out of the medical office, she quickly took a few steps back, shouting anxiously.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here, I seem to be seriously ill!"
Dong Huanzhi stopped when he saw her words, and at the same time he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Are you seriously ill?
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
"Fever, dizziness, no strength at all, back pain, back pain, cough."
Dong Huanzhi knew something was wrong when he heard it.
This seems to be all the symptoms.
At this time, Ah He came out and saw the woman. Although her mouth and nose were covered, he had been busy at the resettlement site these days and still recognized her.
"Aunt Li?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Shopkeeper Dong, she, she is from Zhecheng." Ah He said to Dong Huanzhi.
The two looked at each other with serious expressions.
Fu Zhaoning said he was worried that local people would also be infected with the disease, which might then spread on a large scale. Now, indeed, some local people have been infected.
Aunt Li added, "Also, there is an old man named Wu who lives alone in our alley. When I passed by his house just now, I heard him coughing violently, but I didn't dare to go to see him. Should I report it to Master You?"
"hiss."
The situation is really not good.
"Aunt Li, please wait a moment."
Ah He went in and said something, asking people to leave first, then led Aunt Li in, and went to the west wing through the path.
At the Moon Gate over there, Fu Jinchen would check on her first and then call Fu Zhaoning.
Ah He quickly went to find the officer in charge.
"We have to go to Old Wu's house right away." Aunt Li had been helping to distribute porridge, and the officials all knew her and knew where she lived.
Aunt Li went to the west wing, and Fu Jinchen took her temperature using the homemade thermometer that Fu Zhaoning had given her.
Fu Zhaoning only gave this to him and only taught him.
This test, thirty-nine.
Fu Zhaoning came out quickly and took Aunt Li's pulse. When he heard that she was a local, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Aunt Niu, please help me settle down."
“Here I come.”
Aunt Niu settled Aunt Li down and came to find Fu Zhaoning with great anxiety.
"Doctor Fu," she almost cried, "They were all wondering if I brought this disease in—"
After listening to what those people said, she felt very uncomfortable and scared at the same time.
If she was the one who brought the disease in and everyone knew about it, wouldn't she be a sinner?
If someone really died of illness, her life would not be enough to repay the debt.
What those people were saying was that in that family of six, five of them died of illness, leaving only one person.
But they didn't know it was her.
Aunt Niu is very scared now, afraid that they will know.
Fu Zhaoning looked at her and saw her fear.
Aunt Niu's lips are now white with fear.
"Aunt Niu, there is no evidence yet that you brought this strain into the city, because you are the first patient we found, but it is hard to say where you contracted the disease."
"Besides, even if it was you who brought this strain into Zhecheng, you didn't do it on purpose."
Aunt Niu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, I really didn't mean it. I, I also thought that they would be cured after seeing a doctor in the city. I thought they couldn't hold on because they didn't take the medicine."
