Chapter 209 Plague in Jiyuan County
Sure enough, the journey after that was much smoother. Occasionally, someone wanted to approach her and be reminded to look at Tong Zhenghui tied to the roof of the car. For a while, everyone was confused about what kind of person Princess Qingping was. What kind of person was she?
No one dares to come forward anymore.
After Lin Xiaoman saw that she had frightened people, she asked Lu Jin to let Tong Zhenghui go. As long as he didn't bother her, she actually didn't care that much whether he was greedy or how much he was greedy. He should be responsible for his crimes.
It's up to you to decide. When she first arrived in the capital, she really didn't want to make a big splash.
Tong Zhenghui was put down from the carriage. After kowtowing several times, he got up and ran away without a trace.
But because of this incident, Princess Qingping's reputation for not liking to be disturbed spread, and no one dared to bump into her again.
Seeing that they would arrive in the capital in less than five days, Lin Xiaoman and others chose a county called Jiyuan County to settle down.
As soon as you enter the city, you can feel that the atmosphere in the city seems not right. There are not many pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, when you see people coming and going, they are in a hurry and cover your mouth and nose with cloth sleeves.
Lu Jin called his men to inquire about the situation. After a while, they came back and found out that a plague broke out in the city. Hundreds of people had died in just a few days. Now the people in the city were in panic, and everyone who could escape had fled to seek refuge.
Lu Jin was shocked after hearing this. If it was really a plague, if this person escaped, wouldn't he take the plague out? What was the magistrate of Jiyuan County thinking? Didn't he close the city gate to prevent the spread of the plague?
Just as I was about to go to the county government office to ask the county magistrate about the matter, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured in from outside the city. After entering the city, they closed the city gate and set up checkpoints to prevent people from entering or leaving the city.
Lu Jin sighed helplessly, what kind of luck did they have? They didn't seal the city gate early, and they didn't seal it late. They had to enter the city before sealing it, which made him have to suspect that someone was watching them enter the city before sealing the city.
.
Fortunately, those officers and soldiers only restricted the entry and exit of people in the city, but did not restrict their activities in the city. Lu Jin could only take the people to find an inn to stay.
Due to the rampant plague in the city, everyone in the city who could run away did not go out, and those who had received the letter early did not enter the city. The inn was empty. It was said that everyone in the shop, including the shopkeeper and other clerks, were sick.
A waiter stayed at the inn, but the stay did not include three meals a day.
Lu Jin and his party didn't expect that the inn owned by just one waiter could provide meals. Anyway, they all brought the ingredients in the car.
In the afternoon, officers and soldiers beat gongs outside and asked the people in the city to go to the nearest city gate to drink medicine. It was said that Prime Minister Xu's granddaughter was administering medicine in the city.
Lin Xiaoman frowned after hearing this. Originally, only some people in the city were infected. If they gather like this, wouldn't everyone be infected?
I originally wanted to stroll around the city, but I had no idea this time.
I asked someone to get lime and spread it around the inn, and bought a lot of vinegar to burn in the inn. For a while, the inn smelled like vinegar inside and outside.
As for the plague in the city, she was not too alarmed. She had already read in books that many of the plagues in this era would be regarded as minor illnesses in later generations and could be cured by taking a few pills.<
/p>
Although Prime Minister Xu's granddaughter acted carelessly, she had a good heart. Maybe she would gather everyone together to receive the medicine, but she was also confident that the medicine could cure the disease.
In the evening, there was a lot of noise outside the inn, with people shouting "Living Bodhisattva" to save the suffering. Lin Xiaoman ran to the front and took a look at the crowd from a distance. A girl in her twenties was sitting in the car, waving to the people kneeling on both sides of the road.
, the smile on his face is always gentle.
Lin Xiaoman's face felt sour when she saw it. She was indeed a noble girl raised by a wealthy family. If it were her, she would smile like this all the time and her face would freeze.
However, whether Miss Xu is doing it for show or sincerely trying to save people, her ability to save people at this time is worthy of praise.
However, it was obvious that the medicine Ms. Xu took out was not very effective. In the next two days, news of another death still came from time to time, and paper money was floating everywhere in the city.
Those who died because they died of the plague would all be pulled out of the city and burned.
People who were not infected with the disease began to fall ill one after another. Lin Xiaoman thought that the most likely reason was that he heard that there was a cure for the disease, and everyone rushed to get it regardless of whether they were sick or not, and they all became infected.
For a time, people in the city were even more panicked, and crying continued all day and night.
Lin Xiaoman originally thought that Miss Xu's medicine would cure the person, but after a few days of waiting, this was the result. Listening to the crying and coughing all night long, Lin Xiaoman thought that since he met her, he would also
You can't really do nothing.
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin discussed, "We can't leave the city, and we can't sit still and wait for death. If the plague becomes serious, we will not be spared. I want to go out for a walk to see what kind of plague is happening.
If you can find a medicine to cure your illness, you can cure your illness and protect yourself at the same time.”
Lu Jin wanted to say no, she was not a doctor, how could she find a cure, but thinking about the secret she had never hidden, maybe she could really find a way, so she said: "It's okay to go, I'll go with you."<
/p>
Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse after thinking about it. If she was unfortunately infected, she would just go to the hospital over there to see what kind of medicine could cure it, so she would buy more medicine and bring it back.
Lin Xiaoman found his clerk and asked him which nearby house had someone suffering from the plague? The clerk counted his fingers for a while, and Lin Xiaoman found that they were surrounded by the plague, and even the clerk would cough twice when he spoke.
At the end of the count, the clerk smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, this plague is too severe. You see, I was fine a few days ago, but now I am infected, and I don't know if I can survive."
After saying that, he covered his face and started to cry. It was obvious that he was extremely scared.
Seeing him crying and coughing, Lin Xiaoman quickly handed him a glass of water, "Drink some water to moisten it."
The man took the water and took a sip. He was still coughing when he drank the water, but after drinking the water, he gradually got better.
Lin Xiaoman asked him to go back and rest. After saying hello to Lu Jin, he took the teacup from which he drank water and returned to the house.
Lu Jin was worried outside and knocked on the door from time to time, but no one responded inside. Lu Jin could only sigh and go back to the house, unable to do anything, which made him very frustrated.
At this time, Lin Xiaoman had already gone over there through the cabinet door.
The wardrobe door was placed in the corner of a back alley of a shopping mall. There were a lot of debris piled up in front of it, which happened to be a blind spot for surveillance. Lin Xiaoman walked around from behind the debris, opened the navigation, and went straight to the nearest hospital.
p>
I registered, asked a doctor to write a bill, and did a test on the cup the clerk had just drank from.
The test results were obtained more than half an hour later. They showed that it was a low-threatening influenza virus. The doctor prescribed medicine and asked Lin Xiaoman to go back and give the patient two pills a day, and he would recover in a few days.
