My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 317 The Black Death

The more everyone thought about it, the more moved they became, and the less they wanted to cause trouble to Jiang Tangtang.

Those who were in better health began to take the initiative to take care of them. According to Jiang Tangtang's instructions, they disposed of people's vomit and prepared firewood to boil water.

Although Linzhong Village is remote and few families live there, there is a well in the village.There wasn't much water in the well, but there was enough for them to eat and drink.

With someone taking the lead, more and more people gradually joined in.

Take the initiative to deliver medicine and food to those who are seriously ill and unable to get out of bed.

The government sends supplies three times a day.One bowl of soup and two corn tortillas per person.

The mouth of the bowl is large, and the yellow corn tortillas are fragrant. Just smelling it makes your mouth water, let alone the smell.Many people think it is the best thing they have ever eaten in their lives.

But no matter how greedy they were, these people who helped deliver the bread did not covet the food rations of the seriously ill patients.

Two hot tortillas were delivered to them intact.

There are a total of [-] patients in Linzhong Village, coming from different places, and there are many selfish and petty thieves among them.

But at this moment, people chose to listen to Jiang Tangtang, support each other, and tide over the difficulties together.

In addition to Linzhong Village, there are three other isolated villages.Those quarantined inside are all patients who are found to be suffering from high fever, vomiting and other suspected diseases.

Jiang Tangtang cooked medicine in Linzhong Village, cheered up the patients, and then rushed to the next village with others.

"Madam, just let us handle these things. Why do you need to do it yourself?" Yuan Si watched Jiang Tangtang arrive in Cangwu and never rested. He ran around dealing with the plague every day, feeling very guilty.

I feel that if they hadn't been careless and allowed people with the disease to flow into the city, my wife wouldn't have had such a hard time.

Jiang Tangtang said: "There are some things that require my intervention."

For things like delivering medicine to isolated villagers and doing ideological work, the effect will be better only if she comes forward.

She is like the spokesperson of the Lingnan government, they have been using her for advertisements, and now her popularity and credibility are unmatched by others.

Although it is harder for her to do it herself, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

And she doesn't have to boil medicine every day and do publicity work.

She came here in person today, so she can leave it to the people below to take care of it later, freeing up time to do other things.

"Is there any new news coming back from outside?"

Yuan Si was not used to wearing a mask. He tugged on the mask unnaturally and said: "The third brother came back with the news. They interrogated the Xirong people again. This time, some Xirong people finally admitted that when they fled to Lingnan, the villagers Some people had high fever and vomited.

But they didn't know they had a plague.

They just heard that Lingnan is a good place. Many refugees from Dazhou fled to Lingnan. If they didn't escape, they would starve to death in the village. They didn't want to starve to death, so they escaped. "

Jiang Tangtang frowned and said, "Where did they get the news? How did they know how to get to Lingnan and how to cross the border?"

"It was said that there was a businessman who wanted to collect cattle and sheep from their village. The businessman showed them the way, how to walk, and how to cross the border. It was also the businessman who kindly told them."

If this is true, Jiang Tangtang wouldn’t believe it.How could there be so many coincidental and kind-hearted businessmen in this world?

Jiang Tangtang put away the anger in his heart and concentrated on dealing with the plague first.When the plague in Cangwu is under control, she will go to Xirong to settle the score.

"Have you ever inquired about their eating habits?" Yuan Sida said: "They said that basically every household in their village ate beef and mutton that had been starved to death."

"Is there nothing else?" If it was just beef and mutton that had starved to death, Jiang Tangtang felt that the possibility of an epidemic was unlikely.

Yuan Si thought for a while, "Xirong people don't care about cleanliness. I heard that in previous years when there was no shortage of water, they only bathed once every few months. After the drought, they never bathed again, and lice and fleas were everywhere on their bodies."

Jiang Tangtang suddenly thought that lice and fleas are also vectors of infection, and hurriedly said: "Send a message to them and ask them to be careful about lice and fleas. I would rather shave my head than bring lice and fleas back."

Thinking of the sight of lice and fleas running onto his body, Jiang Tangtang felt like his hair was standing on end.

Yuan Si hurriedly wrote down Jiang Tangtang's words and planned to pass them to Yuan San without saying a word.

After a while, he thought of something else, "By the way, they also caught rats to eat. I heard that there were people in the village who fought over a rat and almost killed someone!"

Hearing about rats, Jiang Tangtang felt as if his brain was suddenly shocked, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his head.

Aren't rats just rats?This thing has the most germs on it. Could it be caused by eating rat meat?
In history, there seems to be plague caused by eating rat meat.

Jiang Tangtang immediately called the pigeons over and sent a message to Doctor Xue.

On the other side, Doctor Xue came to the same conclusion as Jiang Tangtang after reading the medical records of the previous batch of doctors sent to Cangwu and examining the bodies of several infected doctors.

However, the plague of this era was not called the plague, but the Black Death.

High fever and vomiting are only initial symptoms. As the condition worsens, the patient's skin begins to bleed, ecchymosis, cyanosis, necrosis, etc. After the patient dies, the body turns purple-black.

After Doctor Xue came to this conclusion, his expression changed.

In his medical career, he had never encountered such an epidemic.He had only seen it in ancient books in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

In addition to recording prescriptions for treating this disease, ancient books also record the situation at that time in detail.

In a word, run away quickly. There is no other way but to run as far away from the sick person as possible.

And all they doctors can do is to do their best and obey fate.

Jiang Tangtang finished walking through the remaining quarantine villages, and it was already dark when he returned to the government office.Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to rest, so he went to see Doctor Xue first.

Seeing Doctor Xue sitting in a chair, looking at a medical record in a daze, Jiang Tangtang had a bad thought in his heart.

She put the specially brought cookies on the table, "I brought them here specially, have a taste."

Doctor Xue's eyes did not light up as usual when he saw the delicious food. He pushed the medical case on the table and said, "Look, this is a complete medical case. At the beginning, the information sent there was incomplete.

Vomiting and fever are actually just initial symptoms. As the condition worsens, skin ulcers will appear later..."

Jiang Tangtang had already made a guess in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that she was right. She took a deep breath and asked, "Can you give me a prescription for treatment?"

"There are two prescriptions in ancient books. I can write them down for you to try." Doctor Xue's expression obviously told her not to have hope.

"You drive it out first. I'll have someone prepare it and try it. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way." Jiang Tangtang got up and walked back.

She quickly went back to space to look for books to see if she could find any books on this subject.
