Chapter 598: All Five Counties Closed
When Yaozhou County closed the city gates at night.
The officer guarding the city gate looked puzzled.
"Why are there so many people going out today? Especially in the evening, the line is almost all the way to the county government office."
"I don't know. It's really strange. Is there something wrong in the county?"
"The magistrate didn't say anything. It's none of our business. If there's any trouble, it won't come to us. We'll just guard the city gate and get paid monthly."
After closing the city gate, the two chatted.
And County Magistrate Zhang in the county government office was sleeping with his beautiful concubine in his arms.
The next day, a fast horse came from outside the city.
"Who are you? Get off your horse!" shouted the officer guarding the city gate.
"I'm here to see County Magistrate Zhang on the orders of the governor. How dare you stop me?" The man on the horse was very arrogant. He drew his sword and pointed it directly at the official who was speaking.
The officer was so scared that he almost wet his pants.
"Sir, I dare not stop you. Please come in quickly, sir." The man was wearing casual clothes and had no idea what his position was. The officer could only address him respectfully as sir.
The call of "Sir" really made the man on the horse feel happy. He curled the corners of his mouth, put the sword back, and then rode his horse to enter the city, but suddenly stopped.
"The governor has ordered that Yaozhou County be sealed off from today! Not even a fly can be let out!"
After saying that, he left.
The two officers were completely confused.
"Why are we locking down the city? What happened?"
"Don't know? We should do what this person says. We can't afford to offend him. Let's close the city gates quickly."
The man on horseback stopped outside the county government office, dismounted, knocked on the gate, and walked all the way to the backyard. No one dared to stop him.
Finally, he broke into County Magistrate Zhang's room and stood directly beside the bed.
The beautiful concubine, who had just woken up, was only wearing a bellyband. There were three charcoal stoves in the room, but it was not warm enough. Fortunately, all four windows were opened a little, otherwise she would have fallen into a deep sleep.
"Ah——" Seeing a ferocious-looking man standing beside the bed, staring at her viciously, the beautiful concubine screamed in fear.
It woke up County Magistrate Zhang who was sleeping soundly.
"What are you doing? Why are you making such a noise so early in the morning? You rude thing, get out!" County Magistrate Zhang was in a bad mood after waking up, and he slapped his concubine on the face, without any trace of the gentleness he had shown last night.
"Master, there is someone beside the bed." The beautiful concubine did not dare to get angry. She wrapped her body with the quilt, leaving only her head exposed, and then said tremblingly.
"Who is it?" County Magistrate Zhang then turned his head to look at the bedside.
"Zhang, Brother Zhang, why are you here?" When he saw this man, County Magistrate Zhang immediately came to his senses.
This man held no official position and was just a servant serving the governor. However, he was given the surname Zhang, and even County Magistrate Zhang had to respectfully call him "Brother Zhang".
"Humph, you seem to be so leisurely, but do you know that something big has happened in Yaozhou County, which you are in charge of?"
The man snorted coldly, ink almost dripping out of his eyes.
"What, what's the matter?" County Magistrate Zhang was still confused.
"After hiding the flood, why didn't you provide food relief? You may be greedy, but don't you know that there will be a plague after the flood? Why didn't you deal with it in advance? You have implicated the adults. Now the plague has spread throughout Enxin. What do you want the adults to do?
I have ordered the city to be sealed off, and the other counties to be sealed off as well. The Lord ordered me to tell you to deal with it quickly. Those infected with the plague should be burned to death! When the plague is over, he will send a group of refugees to replace those who died, so that the number of people in Yaozhou County will not be small. The plague must not be spread out..."
After giving his instructions, the man left.
County Magistrate Zhang was still a little dazed.
"Plague, there's actually a plague? Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier! Someone, someone, come!!"
He climbed out of bed in his underpants and motioned to his concubine to dress him, still shouting at the officers waiting outside.
There were 60,000 people in Yaozhou County, and several thousand died in the flood, while more than 20,000 escaped from the city.
There are only 30,000 people left in the county now.
Those who escaped yesterday were not much better off and were imprisoned in other counties.
Ngheung Province has only one prefecture and five districts.
The entire city is sealed off, no one can go in or out.
There were also some smart people who noticed something was wrong and vaguely felt that something big was going to happen, so they did not run to other counties, but hid in the mountains.
At this moment, Jiang Fubao, who was studying prescriptions in the clinic, had no idea that the plague had broken out in Enxin Province.
I don’t know, in these few days, many people will die.
For seven consecutive days, Jiang Fubao took Pan Erya and Pan Shitou to the dilapidated temple.
Deliver medicine to patients in these experiments.
As she said, even if these medicines can't cure the disease, they won't make you sick.
The person who drank the first medicine is still in a coma, but has not died. The person who drank the second medicine had a high fever turned into a low fever, but it could not be completely cured and kept having a low fever.
The third medicine had the best effect. I no longer had a fever, but my throat felt like a razor blade was stuck. My cough became more severe, and I even felt like I was suffocating my breath when I lay down. I couldn't sleep all night and could only lean back and take a nap.
"Little miracle doctor, how long do I have to take these medicines? Why isn't it getting better?" The patient, who once had great faith in her, now lost her confidence.
After drinking the medicine on the seventh day, they all doubted that the medicine was of no use at all.
"You don't need to drink it tomorrow. I will prepare new medicine." Jiang Fubao pulled out the silver needle from the unconscious person and spoke slowly.
"Do you want to try the medicine again? Ahem, let me try it. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable."
"I tried it too. Cough cough. I even coughed up blood."
In seven days, the condition of those infected has become increasingly serious.
They used to be able to sleep well and cough occasionally, but now they have lost their sense of taste and smell, and can't even complete a sentence when they cough, and they even cough up blood. More and more people are in coma, and there is a young child who was burned into a idiot and didn't even recognize his own mother.
"This is not a drug test. Everyone of you can take it." Jiang Fubao said firmly.
"Take medicine?" Someone stared at her in confusion.
"Yes, I will roll the medicine into pills. Take it three times a day, morning, noon and night. Take one pill each time. I will personally deliver it to you tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Fubao went out with the book in his hand.
She was ready to take a gamble.
Since all three prescriptions are slightly useful, why not combine them together and give it a try? There are so many people and it would be difficult to make enough medicine, so why not just grind them all into powder and roll them into balls. Not only is it convenient, but it can also be stored for a long time.
Just do it.
Jiang Fubao returned to the clinic and called everyone to help.
At the same time the next day, she went to the ruined temple with the pills.
"Why are there another person being sent here?" Jiang Fubao asked when he saw the officers carrying an unconscious woman and preparing to take her to the dilapidated temple.
"This person was infected with the plague, but she didn't dare to say it. When we searched, she hid in the rice jar at home to avoid us. She drank the typhoid medicine her son prescribed at the clinic last month, thinking that she would get better. But the more she drank, the worse she got, until she passed out."
