Chapter 133 The Plague
If it goes on like this, if it is not dealt with properly, there will be big problems sooner or later, Ning Xiaoqi pursed her lips, went back to her room and looked at the book by candlelight.

One day passed, another bad news came.

Ning Xiaoqi was still in the room following Dr. Cui to think of something, when there were hurried footsteps outside the door, the next moment, the county magistrate led the people in with a look of horror, and shouted loudly, "Doctor Cui, come with me quickly!" Take a look on the street, early this morning, some of the refugees died."

"What!" Doctor Cui was startled, and hurriedly followed the county magistrate, Ning Xiaoqi also put down the book in his hand, and ran over with big strides.

In the past few days, many refugees have appeared intermittently, all of whom came from other places. The originally clean streets have a strange smell.

The place they went to was a ruined temple. There were many refugees in the ruined temple. As soon as they entered, they could smell a foul smell, as if the food had been left for too long and moldy. It was very unpleasant.

Many refugees in the ruined temple hid away when they saw them coming in. The county magistrate strode forward and walked to the side of the deceased.

The deceased was so thin that only skin and bones remained, his eyes were protruding, his limbs were stiff, and there was a foul smell coming from his body.

Dr. Cui frowned, walked forward holding his nose, and carefully checked the symptoms of the deceased, but it turned out to be scary.

Doctor Cui stood up silently, glanced at Ning Xiaoqi complicatedly, and said softly, "It's the plague."

As soon as these words were said, not to mention the face change of the county magistrate, even the other refugees who were still in the ruined temple had panic in their eyes, and they stood up and wanted to run, for fear of being infected.

The magistrate froze for a moment, looked at the refugees, and immediately shouted, "Stop them! None of them can be released."

"Yes, my lord." All the guards behind the county magistrate dispatched and stopped all the refugees who wanted to escape in the ruined temple. There was a trace of despair in the eyes of the refugees, and they shouted loudly, "Let me out! I don't want to stay here anymore. "

That person caught the plague invisibly, and they have been in the same room with him, so they are naturally suspicious

, the county magistrate covered his mouth and nose, "Bury this corpse immediately."

Ning Xiaoqi frowned, and stood up directly, "It can't be buried, it's burned."

Burned!

The county magistrate and Dr. Cui looked at Ning Xiaoqi with ghostly looks on their faces, "Master Ning, why did you burn this corpse?"

Ning Xiaoqi pursed her lips, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and said seriously, "After a person dies, he will be oxidized, the water in the human body will evaporate, and a large number of germs will evaporate with the water, and through breathing , Infected into the body of the living person, if it is just buried like this, in case unnecessary troubles are caused, so it is better to burn it directly."

The county magistrate and Dr. Cui glanced at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes. How much hatred would it take to burn people without leaving their bodies? The official should go and ask the Third Prince."

Ning Xiaoqi nodded and watched them take the corpse away.

After the county magistrate went back, he told Qi Xiu what had happened today. Qi Xiu's face became paler, and he said softly, "According to what Xiao Qi'er said, the corpse was burned. Don't leave a hidden danger because of it. As for the people in the ruined temple Those people, temporarily isolated, take good care of them."

The county magistrate nodded, looked at Qi Xiu's pained face, retreated silently, and took the body to the outskirts for burning.

Ning Xiaoqi's expression became more and more serious. She stayed in her room all day without going out, reading all kinds of medical books. As long as there was a trace of plague in it, she would read it carefully, but the result was cruel.

As time passed bit by bit, within two days, the death toll had reached twenty, and they all died in various places.

This made everyone start to panic, 20 people, in various places, what does this mean, the great plague is coming.

As before, as soon as it was discovered that someone died of the plague, the body would be taken away. Many people began to feel disgusted, and the county government was even more anxious.

Everyone was worried, the county magistrate's face was full of bitterness, his eyes were dark, he hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, and now everyone was panicking.

The county magistrate looked at the people in the hall, and they all came to report where another accident happened. It's just foreshadowing.

To meet the plague.

The county magistrate felt a chill behind his back. After sitting for a while, he made up his mind and went directly to the residence where the third prince was. As soon as he entered, the magistrate knelt down and said forcefully, "His Royal Highness, the next official sent someone Send you back to the capital for treatment."

Qi Xiu hadn't seen him for a few days, and he couldn't tell what he looked like at all. His eyes were protruding, and he was only skin and bones. He was still coughing constantly. Hearing what the county magistrate said, he slowly opened his eyes, "But what happened What is it?"

The county magistrate pursed his lips, lowered his head slowly, and his eyes were full of sadness, "In the past few days, more and more people have died due to the plague, and they are all in various places in the town. Appeared, so... the next official intends to take advantage of the fact that the plague has not completely broken out, and seal off the town until the plague subsides."

This sentence exhausted all the strength of the county magistrate, there is no other way, the doctor from the imperial court has not come yet, and now there is only Doctor Cui in their town, who can't take care of so many people at all, until they realize By the time, it was too late.

In order to prevent the plague from spreading, sealing off the town is the best decision.

A gloomy look appeared in Qi Xiu's eyes, and he said softly, "How are shopkeeper Ning and the others doing recently?"

"Boss Ning and Dr. Cui have been looking for a cure for the plague these days, but we still don't have a clue."

That's it, Qi Xiu slowly closed his eyes. After a while, his eyes showed a trace of determination, and he took out a token from his arms. There was a big three characters engraved on the front of the token. Qi Xiu said softly, "Take this Token, tell the soldiers to seal off the town. As for my prince, I’m already in this state at this time, and it doesn’t make much sense to go out, and then establish a quarantine area. The capital should send a doctor in a few days. Once the diagnosis is made, all those who are infected will be quarantined, including this prince."

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince" the county magistrate pursed his lips, his eyes showed a trace of struggle, he nodded after a while, and strode out.

In one day, many things changed. For example, all refugees who showed signs of fever would be arrested and quarantined. The town was completely blocked, and they could not enter or leave. Everyone felt heavy in their hearts.

Dr. Cui's hair was all gray, seeing the third prince's complexion getting worse and worse, he felt the breath of death.
