I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

The blond Euro was named Davis and was part of the caravan.

Because he is proficient in the local language, he spends most of his time in Jizhou, communicating with merchants and managing officials and gentry.

"They're all lying in the cabin."

The sailor seemed to be in a bad mood, and replied impatiently.

When Davis heard this, an angry look appeared on his face, and he said angrily, "The Yan people gave us half a day to load the goods. The ship has stopped, and they are still lying in the cabin?"

The sailor glanced at him and said coldly, "Go to the cabin and see what's going on."

Davis was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized that something might be wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The sailor said: "They all got a strange disease, their whole body was hot, and their faces and bodies turned red. Both Kane and Loris died of this disease, and the others were not much better."

When Davis heard this, his heart sank.

After a moment of silence, he said, "You take care of them, I'll go to the doctor in Yan Guo."

The sailor shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face: "I have seen doctors on the way here. They have never seen this kind of disease before, and they don't know how to treat it. They just prescribed some herbs and left. It's useless."

After hearing this, Davis fell into silence again, and said after a while, "Let someone take a look first, before we can cure it."

After speaking, without any further hesitation, he turned and left the deck.

Time passed minute by minute.

After half an hour.

Davis returned to deck with a doctor.

The doctor's name is Zhao Sheng, he is well-known in the local area, and it is not easy to cure strange diseases.

Naturally, the price of inviting him is also high.

Davis spent 50 taels of silver to invite him here from the city.

Zhao Sheng stepped on the deck with a medicine box on his shoulders, and asked calmly, "Where is the patient?"

Davis looked at the sailor and said, "This is the famous Langzhong Zhao in Jizhou City, take him to show everyone."

The sailor looked Zhao Sheng up and down, and he didn't know what to think of, showing hesitation.

After a while, he still nodded and led Zhao Sheng towards the cabin.

Davis acted as an interpreter and followed.

The three of them entered the cabin.

A disgusting stench hit the face.

Even Zhao Sheng, who had experienced some wind and rain, couldn't stand it, and immediately retreated.

Davis was so irritated by the pungent smell that his face turned red and he was speechless for a long time.

More than half of the sailors on board had this strange disease.

No one took care of her these days, and she was thrown in the cabin to fend for herself.

Therefore, the taste here can be imagined.

"Move them out first. Living in this kind of place, even if you don't get sick, you won't be able to survive for a few days."

Zhao Sheng frowned, looked at Davis, and ordered.

Davis also frowned, nodded, looked at the sailor beside him, and translated Zhao Sheng's words.

After the sailor heard this, hesitant expression appeared on his face, and he said after a while: "Davis, if you want me to tell you, just leave them alone, even one out of ten people with this disease may not survive, don't waste your time. "

Davis was taken aback when he heard this, and then frowned tightly. …

He knew that to make a sailor say such things showed that this strange disease was more terrible than imagined.

this moment.

He also began to hesitate.

If this disease is a plague, wouldn't it be more troublesome and more costly to remove these people from the cabin?
Abandon these people and use the money on the ship to hire a group of people to carry the goods. The remaining sailors should also be able to drive the ship back to Ouluo.

He is not a cold-blooded person, but after so many years of travelling, he knows when to make which choice.

There is no doubt that at this time, abandoning these seriously ill sailors is the best choice for the entire fleet.

"Why are you standing there? Have someone carry them out!"

On the side, Zhao Sheng saw Davis standing still, so he urged him.

Davis turned his head to look at him, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Langzhong Zhao, I thought about it, I'd better trouble you to prescribe some medicine for them."

How do you know what medicine to prescribe if you don't see the patient?

Zhao Sheng wanted to say this at first, but he noticed the expressions of Davis and several sailors around him. He quickly realized what was happening and fell silent.

"What symptoms does the patient have?"

Zhao Sheng was silent for a while, looked at the sailor and asked.

Davis translated his words.

The sailor replied: "The body is hot and there is a red rash on the body"

He said a lot in one breath.

Davis translated them one by one.

As Zhao Sheng listened, his expression gradually changed.

According to this sailor.

They live in the same environment, some people are sick, some people are not.

Moreover, people who are sick have a high probability of getting sick.

Although he has never seen this kind of disease, but from the descriptions of these guys, why does he feel that it is a bit like a new plague?

now.

After Zhao Sheng heard the sailor's description, deep fear and regret rose in his heart.

He never thought that he would run into such trouble just because he came to see a doctor.

aside.

Davis noticed the change in Zhao Sheng's expression and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Sheng woke up from the trance, turned his head to look at Davis, and said with a bitter expression: "Davis, you have made me miserable!"

Davis looked puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

I just invited him to see a doctor, why did I make him miserable?

50 taels of silver, it's not like I won't give it to him!

Just when he was puzzled.

Zhao Sheng spoke again: "Don't you think this disease is like a plague?"

When Davis heard this, his heart sank.

When the sailor mentioned this disease to him just now, he actually had such an idea.

However, at present, it seems that there is no plague that will have red rashes on the body.

That's why he buried this idea in his heart.

"Zhao Langzhong"

Davis opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhao Sheng.

"I can't cure this disease, and I can't prescribe medicine. I advise you to stay away from that cabin, and burn the ship after finishing business."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Sheng no longer hesitated, turned around and left.

Davis stood where he was, looking at his back, with hesitation on his face. …

At this moment, he was considering whether to kill Zhao Sheng.

after all.

If Zhao Sheng went back, he would publicize that there might be a plague on merchant ships.

He and the entire caravan would be in huge trouble.

Confused for a moment.

He still didn't make a move.

Not because he has good intentions.

It was because many people in the city saw Zhao Langzhong walking with him.

If Zhao Langzhong disappeared, the government would be the first to suspect him.

At that time, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome.

For now, we can only take one step at a time.

After Zhao Sheng left, facing the messy fleet, Davis could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, kicked the deck suddenly, and cursed, "Damn it!"

After calming down, he looked at the sailor beside him and said, "From today on, don't let anyone approach the cabin!"

Hearing this, the sailor hesitated and said, "Every time Rose
Day to go to the cabin to deliver water and food. "

"Tell him not to send it away! Those people can't be saved!"

Davis said firmly.

Hearing this, the sailor opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

The words reached his throat, but he didn't say it after all, he just nodded and said, "Got it."

Davis stood where he was, with a heavy face, lost in thought.

Now word has leaked of the possible presence of plague on board.

If you want to hide it, unless you kill people to silence them, you have little hope.

He now has three choices, one is to catch up with Zhao Langzhong and kill him, the risk is too high, so he directly rejects it.

The second is to give Zhao Langzhong a sum of money, so that he will not speak out about it.

However, based on what he knew about Zhao Langzhong, it was extremely difficult for him not to speak up about it.

The last one is to remove traces of possible plague on board.

The first thing to do is to get rid of all the patients in the cabin.

Standing still, thinking for a long time, Davis still couldn't make a decision.

I do not know how long it has been.

He gritted his teeth, looked at the sailor beside him, and asked, "How many people on board are still healthy?"

The sailor thought for a while and replied, "Less than half."

Davis said solemnly: "Find some clean cloths, cover your face and nose, bring a knife, and follow me to the cabin!"

When the sailor heard this, he immediately understood what Davis was going to do, and his heart sank.

"If you catch this disease, you will definitely die. Ross also got a strange disease, but he survived because he has pockmarks on his body."

After all, they are companions who get along day and night, and the sailor couldn't bear to attack his own people, so he tried to persuade them.

Davis, who made up his mind, did not hesitate at all, glared at the sailor, gritted his teeth and said, "Do as I say!"

"Davis"

The sailor wanted to persuade again.

With an angry look on his face, Davis interrupted him directly: "Do you know, if there is news of the plague on the ship, and the Yan people know, what will happen? Not to mention the goods, even our lives, we have to stay here !"

Hearing this, the sailor also realized the seriousness of the problem, and his expression was serious.

Davis took a deep breath and said, "Tell the others, if you don't want to die, just do as I said, get rid of all the people in the cabin, then transport them to the shore, and burn them all!"…

The sailor no longer hesitated, nodded heavily, and said, "Understood!"

He turned to leave, and quickly gathered the rest of the crew together, repeating what Davis had said.

At first, there was opposition from the crew.

Later, I heard that Yan Guo might not be able to do without, except for a few people, no one spoke anymore.

The reason why a few people persist is because there are their brothers or close friends in the cabin.

"If you want to burn Kane, go over my corpse!"

A blond-haired youth shouted indignantly.

Kane is his elder brother, and the two have worked on the ship for three years, so they are considered old crew members.

Davis heard this and turned to look at him.

After thinking for a few seconds, he walked up to him and said, "Kane is suffering from a strange disease and was about to die. If you do this, you will only drag us to die together."

The blond young man stared at him firmly, and said firmly: "Ross is also sick, so he is not dead, Kane is still alive, you let me go in and recite him, and I will take him out of here."

Davis thought for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "Remember to stay far away, so as not to be noticed."

Hearing this, the blond-haired young man nodded heavily, turned around and was about to enter the cabin.

at this time.

Davis suddenly pulled a dagger from his arms and stabbed him in the back.

The blond young man obviously didn't expect Davis to do this suddenly, and his eyes widened until he died, unwilling to die.

other ship

When the staff saw this scene, they were all shocked, and then they showed anger.

"Davis, what are you doing!"

Davis turned his head to look at them, and said word by word: "Save your lives!"

"Do you think the Yan people are fools? They will be discovered sooner or later when they leave this ship. By then, there will be news of the plague on the ship. It is impossible to hide it!"

When everyone heard this, there was still anger on their faces, but they all fell silent.

at this time.

Davis said loudly: "Don't be dazed, and clean up the people in the cabin with me!"

With that said, he stepped into the cabin.

Seeing this, the rest looked at each other and followed.

the other side.

Zhao Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to Jizhou Prefecture.

He was clear.

In order to do business, those Euro people will definitely conceal the fact that there may be a plague on board.

In this case, he, an outsider, is very likely to be killed.

Therefore, he was frightened along the way, for fear that those Euro people would catch up.

Fortunately, those guys didn't do anything until they finally returned to Fucheng.

He also escaped a catastrophe.

Back to the hospital.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to think about everything that happened today.

Especially those sailors' descriptions of strange diseases.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was some kind of plague.

"What about the plague, they are all on board and will not disembark, so don't make trouble for yourself."

Zhao Sheng secretly warned himself.

Then, I forced myself not to think about what happened today, picked up a book of medical skills, opened it, and read it.

Holding a medical book in his hand.

Everything that happened today kept reverberating in his mind, making him unable to calm down for a long time. …

Time passed minute by minute.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhao Sheng could no longer ignore what he saw on the deck, slapped the medical book on the table, and left the medical hall with strides.

After half an hour.

He came to the yamen of Jizhou Fucheng.

Looking at the arrester standing at the door, he said: "Masters, please inform me, the younger one has something important to ask the prefect!"

The policeman wanted to reprimand: The magistrate is also something you can see whenever you want.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's face, he was slightly taken aback, and asked, "It's Langzhong Zhao, what do you want to do with the magistrate?"

Zhao Sheng is quite well-known in Jizhou Prefecture.

At that time, the prefect's daughter was seriously ill, and it was Zhao Sheng who rescued her.

Therefore, even the policeman respects him.

"There is a very urgent matter, so I don't want to go into details, but please let me know."

Zhao Sheng said eagerly.

Hearing this, the policeman showed hesitation on his face, nodded after a while, and said: "Mr. Zhao wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the Yamen.

After a stick of incense.

He went back to the door again, looked at Zhao Sheng, and said, "Your Majesty, please."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Sheng stepped into the Yamen.

Quickly came to the main hall, and met the prefect of Jizhou prefecture.

He saluted first, and then said anxiously: "Master Zhifu, something serious has happened!"

The magistrate thought that he had something to ask for himself, but when he heard this, he was slightly taken aback, thinking, as a doctor, you can know such a big deal.

Thinking this way in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, he said more politely: "Mr. Zhao, don't be in a hurry, if you have something to say slowly, it won't collapse for a while."
