The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 696

[Chapter 696 Control]

As the number of infected patients increased, the villagers of Xiaoqingzhuang were almost desperate. The plague was terrible, and the villagers heard the word of mouth from the older generation. The final result is that the village is destroyed!

When Cheng Zhifu arrived, the morning light had gradually spread in the sky, and the sun had just poked its head out from the horizon. Usually at this time, the smoke from the kitchen was already floating above Xiaoqingzhuang. The hard-working villagers would carry their hoes in groups and go to work in the fields. The voice of peasant women scolding naughty children could be heard from time to time in the village…

And at this time Xiaoqing The village is like an empty village. The whole village was silent, and there was a dignified death air in the sky. In the past few days, people who are seriously ill have died one after another. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dead are not allowed to be buried, they must be pulled outside the village to be burned… In

ancient times, it was important to be buried in the ground. However, under the shadow of death, the villagers of Xiaoqingzhuang did not have the mood to take this into consideration. The next one to die may be him; the next one to burn, who is it?

Cheng Zhifu asked the guards and found out that in Xiaoqingzhuang, except for a few families who had drilled wells, almost all of them contracted the disease. This also verifies the words of the genius doctor girl – the epidemic is spread through water!

The plague is a discoloration that everyone talks about, even the few doctors in the line are no exception. They lingered at the entrance of the village, looking at the dead village, a sense of fear rose in their hearts, but no one dared to enter the village.

Cheng Zhifu persuaded bitterly: “The genius doctor said that as long as you wash your hands and don’t drink the water in the village, you will not be infected…”

“Master prefect, it’s not that we don’t trust you. After all, the genius doctor you call is just A teenage girl, her medical skills have not been verified after all. It’s not that we are afraid of death, but there are old and young in the family, and we can’t live without us!” A man in his forties The doctor, stroked his beard, shook his head and sighed.

Yueyuan sneered and said, “I’m afraid of death, so why do you say it so grandly? Cheng Zhifu, I’ll go in with you… Of course, if you don’t believe our young lady, you can wait outside. Give me the medicine box, and I’ll go in by myself!”

Cheng Zhifu hurriedly said: “If the doctor says that, the old man will naturally believe it. The old man will accompany you in!”

“Miss Yueyuan, I will also go in with you!” Looking at several doctors, he snorted coldly, “You guys, you have lost all of the doctors in Xicheng! We Xicheng people are not all cowards!”

Cheng Zhifu followed the officers and soldiers on guard and knocked on the village chief. door of home. The village chief’s house also drilled a well, and few of them were infected with the disease. Only the most favored grandson of the exclusive group contracted dysentery because he played with other children in the village and did not like to wash his hands.

The little guy pulled out pus and blood for several days, and his eyes were dehydrated, and he looked more serious than Liang Zhizhou’s little son. The little guy was placed in a separate room in the backyard, which used to be a place for livestock and fodder. These days, if it wasn’t for the child’s mother, who hadn’t given up on the child, maybe the person would have died long ago.

When the village chief heard that, the genius doctor invited by Cheng Zhifu had a way to treat the plague, and he was so excited that he burst into tears. He was really fed up with the smell of being locked up in the village waiting to die.

The old eldest brother Dong at the head of the village, because he couldn’t stand it, hanged himself from the beam of the house with his trouser belt in the middle of the night. If it goes on like this, people will not die of illness, but they will destroy themselves first!

“Stop talking nonsense. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Where is the patient?”

“It’s in the backyard! The genius doctor, please come with me!” The village chief’s youngest son, the patient’s biological father, hurriedly led the way.

“I’m not a genius doctor, I’m just a maid of a genius doctor!” Yue Yuan followed the village chief’s youngest son into the backyard. Entering the room, she smelled a strong stench, and couldn’t help frowning.

The little daughter-in-law, who has been cooling her son with water, said with a slightly sullen expression: “It doesn’t smell good, doesn’t it? Don’t let people go out, eat, drink, and salsa inside, it’s strange if it smells good! Four dogs, you are willing to show up. Are you afraid of being passed on by your son?”

“Daughter-in-law, this miraculous doctor can cure our son’s disease! Our hairy eggs are saved!” The village chief’s youngest son looked at his daughter-in-law with a bit of excitement.

The sluggish eyes of the little daughter-in-law froze for a moment, then suddenly regained their brilliance. She looked at the full moon, her lips trembling, and she was so excited that she could barely utter a sentence: “Save my son, the genius doctor, please save him! My hairy egg is only six years old, he is my sweetheart, He can’t die—”

Yueyuan put down her hand, pinching her nose, pointed at Gongtan next to her, frowning and said, “Clean up these things, and open the windows. The weather is getting warmer, so I’m not afraid of suffocating people. Ah!”

Outside the child’s father’s utility room, he didn’t dare to take a step closer, and heard the words: “Girl the doctor, you can’t do this, you will pass the illness to our whole family!”

“Are you a doctor or a doctor? I’m a doctor? If you want me to save your son and the people in your village, you have to do as I say. Besides, I’m not a genius doctor, I’m just a maid and assistant of a genius doctor.

” , took out a bag of bleaching powder, handed it to the child’s mother, and instructed: “Grab a handful and put it in the bucket, and stir as much as possible. In this way, the sickness in the patient’s feces can be completely removed. By the way, You have been in contact with patients a lot these days, wash your hands before eating, and don’t share dishes with patients…” The

child’s mother seemed to have received an imperial decree, holding bleaching powder in both hands, and timidly whispered: ” The tableware used by Mao Dan is specially made of wood by his father. He treasures it every day and does not use it for others easily. When he is sick these days, he can only use a wooden bowl and spoon to coax some rice soup into it…”

Cheng Zhifu heard it. Nodding lightly. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the village chief’s family and others were not infected!

The child’s mother went to dispose of the feces in Gong’s bucket. Yueyuan took out the infusion kit, hung saline on the severely dehydrated little guy, and then crushed berberine into powder and poured it into the sleepy little guy.

Berberine is too bitter, the little guy frowned, a little resisted, and there were faint signs of waking up. Unfortunately, his body is too weak to resist. Yueyuan pinched the little guy’s nose familiarly and poured the potion into it.

Yueyuan handed over all the bleaching powder to Cheng Zhifu and said, “You ask the village chief to take you around the village, and first get rid of the feces, one of the sources of infection.”

Cheng Zhifu carefully took over this kind of unseen feces. After passing the powder, he handed it to General Li, solemnly exhorting: “This arduous and important task will be handed over to General Li and your soldiers. The old man brought a few craftsmen to survey the landforms and find water sources. The most important thing is to solve the water problem of the villagers!”

Cheng Zhifu had just been suffocated by the smell of gong barrels in the hairy egg house.

General Li felt that the bleaching powder in his hand was like a hot potato that had just come out of the pot. Guard the adults and send him to help the prefect to control the epidemic. He had to listen to the words of the prefect. I can’t… let the prefect do this pickling job!

As a result, General Li led his officers and soldiers to become Xiaoqingzhuang diggers, haunting every latrine in the village. Farming people, in order to save natural fertilizer, even if it is a soak of urine, they have to hold it in their own toilets and pour it out. Every household has a simple latrine, next to the latrine is a place to store manure in the open air.

The task of General Li and his officers and soldiers is to sprinkle bleach powder into a dung pond and stir it with a long dung spoon – vomit! That smell can literally kill a person.

Soon, the village chief’s son came to support them with the young and middle-aged people in the village who had never contracted the disease.

Originally, the villagers who were trapped in the village waiting to die heard the village chief’s son saying that the prefect brought a magical doctor and came to rescue them. Suddenly, a strong desire to survive burst out.

Therefore, when the village chief’s son called up the villagers who had not been infected, he told them how to prevent the infection. Many people listened and asked for help.

These days, they have been terrified. The people around them fell sick one by one, and died one by one, first the old, the weak, the sick and the young, and then the weaker young…

These villagers who were not infected wanted to escape, but they Besieged by officers and soldiers; want to hide, but nowhere to hide. Terrible plagues are everywhere, and maybe the next ones who get sick and die will be them.

Looking at the relatives around him, he became more and more ill. Looking at the neighbor who greeted him with a smile a few days ago, he turned into a corpse and was carried to the entrance of the village to be burned to ashes. That despair, that kind of fear, tormented them all the time. Their nerves are like a rubber band pulled to the extreme, and they are in danger of breaking in the next second!

Suddenly, the village chief’s son brought this good news – the source of the plague has been found, that is, water and feces! For water, they are not good at digging wells, and they are good at dealing with excrement. Who doesn’t dig dung pits and save manure every year?

The officers and soldiers who were retching while working, waited for the villagers who volunteered to help, as if in the event of an amnesty, they threw the dung spoons to the villagers and pushed them away to command.

Many people are powerful, and within half a day, all the contaminated feces have been processed. Cheng Zhifu moved the seriously ill people to a yard, and Yueyuan led a few soldiers to treat them.

Cheng Zhifu couldn’t help much, so he gathered the healthy villagers in the village to preach how to prevent the infection of the epidemic, and how to care for the sick at home.

For those villagers with mild symptoms, General Li led his soldiers to deliver special medicines from house to house. The genius doctor said that berberine should be taken three times a day, three tablets at a time for adults, and half for children.
