Unexpectedly, the first place to be infected with the plague was not Raozhou, but Bianzhou.
There was a serious flood there, drowning many people. After the rain stopped, the temperature rose again. People who had no food began to eat dead bodies. Gradually, first one, then the second, more and more people were infected with the plague. They did not wait for help from the government and began to flee in all directions. By the time the government came to their senses, it was too late.
Yanzhou and Bianzhou are very close, and gradually spread from the surrounding areas...
The officials of Bianzhou and Hengzhou hurriedly submitted a memorial, asking the court to strictly control the checkpoints and not let them move forward.
There were also many refugees in Yun'an County, but they were stopped outside the city at the beginning, and no one was allowed to run into the city. There were many people with bad intentions among them, who would go to the village to rob houses every day. Later, the headmen of other villages also followed the example of Linjia Village and formed patrol teams, which injured several people before they were able to control the situation.
One day, Lin Wanwan was practicing calligraphy at home when County Magistrate Gao sent someone to bring her a message, asking her not to go out in the next few days, to guard the village well, and not to let refugees into the village. He had received news that there was an epidemic in the south and many sick people had fled. Many people from their county had also fled there. Many refugees outside the county town were sick, so he asked her to be careful.
My goodness, one thing is not over yet another trouble arises, is it possible for us to live a good life?
Then she went to find the head of the village and told him what had happened. The head of the village was shocked and had people set up roadblocks at the entrance of the village overnight and sent people to guard it strictly.
But it still didn't work. There were too many people coming to their village to fetch water every day, and they couldn't stop them from coming in. They had to have people fetch water and place it at the entrance of the village for them to use, but they still had to come into contact with the water. After a few days, some people in the village started to get sick.
Lin Wanwan had people make masks, gloves and protective clothing overnight and distributed them to everyone, and isolated those infected people in a workshop by the river.
She also asked 857 for some prescriptions for preventing and treating the plague, and went to the pharmacy to buy the missing herbs. Fortunately, she had stockpiled a lot of the main herbs before, and the rest could be bought at the pharmacy.
Sure enough, the prescription given by the system was very effective. Within two days, the people in the village who had the plague had their fevers go away and stopped vomiting.
She asked the villagers to go to the rice field to get medicine every day, to treat diseases if they were sick and to prevent diseases if they were healthy. The protective clothing on their bodies and the waste they handled were also burned with fire every day. Those who had come into contact with patients had to drink medicine three times a day, and before going home, they had to fumigate their entire bodies with the burning medicine residue.
The village gradually stabilized, and Lin Wanwan built several rows of straw huts outside the village. She distributed medicine to people who came to fetch water every day. They were allowed to bring their families with them, but they were not allowed to enter the village and could only stay in the straw huts outside the village.
She personally led people to guard the village entrance and distribute medicine to people from other villages. Seeing this, the people in the village also joined in.
Especially Shen Mo, who stayed by her side and didn't let her do anything. As soon as Lin Wanwan had filled a bowl of medicine, he took it and handed it to the people waiting to get the medicine. Lin Wanwan wanted to go see some seriously ill people, but Shen Mo immediately stopped her, took Lin Jiu and the others to check, and gave them medicine.
Lin Wanwan found it a little funny. Okay, she should just serve the medicine honestly!
One evening, Lin Wanwan was filling the bowl with medicine when she heard something happen behind her. She was about to put down the bowl when suddenly a group of refugees rushed up and tried to snatch the medicine from her hands!
At this moment, Shen Mo rushed up and embraced her, kicking the leader away. The other refugees became furious and rushed up to tear Shen Mo apart, but he still had to protect Lin Wanwan, so he could only use his body to block them.
Lin Jiu and the others were far away, and when they arrived, Shen Mo's clothes were torn to pieces, his mask was torn away, and there were scratches on his body caused by nails.
They simply beat up these refugees, knocking them to the ground, unable to get up, and wailing loudly.
Lin Wanwan didn't care about them. She took Shen Mo back to the village and sent him home to treat his injuries.
When Sun Zhenzhu heard that he was scratched by the refugees and might be infected with the plague, she was so scared that she kicked him out of the house and made him live in a workshop by the river with the infected villagers. She did not allow him to stay at home for fear that he would pass on the disease to her.
Lin Wanwan looked at Shen Mo's expressionless face and cursed in her heart, is this his mother? How can she treat her own son like this? Not taking care of him is fine, but she even kicked him out! It's too much!
She dragged Shen Mo back home angrily and asked people to clean up the courtyard and prepare clothes, ointments and herbs. After all, he was trying to save her, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
Lin Wanwan used alcohol to treat his wounds. His back was scratched and all over, especially his neck, which was more serious. She used alcohol to wipe the wounds until they turned white, sprinkled some medicine powder on them, and asked him to lie on the bed with his bare chest, not to go anywhere.
Shen Mo didn't say a word during this time. He just lay there obediently, listening to Lin Wanwan nagging and blaming him and his mother.
"Your mother is really something. Not only did she not take care of him, but she also kicked her own son out! You and your brother were just too obedient to her! What will happen after she gets married? You don't have to keep silent. You should know what's going on. And you too. Why didn't you pull me away just now? Why didn't you get caught like this? If she hadn't protected me, I might be the one lying here. Thank you, Shen Mo!"
Shen Mo said "hmm". He really didn't find a gap to escape just now. There was a fence behind him and refugees on the other three sides. If he was not careful, Lin Wanwan would be scratched. He didn't dare to take the risk.
"If you haven't had symptoms of fever and vomiting in the past two days, you should be fine. I'll have someone bring the medicine over later. You should have a good rest. I'll go clean up the mess first and come back to see you later."
Shen Mo suddenly got up, took Lin Wanwan's arm and said, "Don't get close, let Lin Jiu and the others protect you, just in case."
