Chapter 314: The Source
Chapter 314 Source (Second update)
When it comes to breeding farms, the patients lying in the ward all look like they hate it.
"I just said that the chickens, ducks and geese are all dead. They must be infected with the disease and cannot be eaten. Your factory is unscrupulous and sells them to others. Some of them that cannot be sold are even thrown into the river. Our village all drinks this river water.
, can this not make you sick?" The man screamed, with even more hatred on his face.
The other was a woman. She was a little older. After suffering from this illness, she felt a lot depressed. She sighed and said, "Da Shan, you want to live, but we don't want to die either. We also have a big family."
If you want to make a living, you might as well tell the doctor what you know, otherwise they won't be able to save us."
Seeing that he could no longer hide the matter, Dashan sighed and told what he knew.
It turned out to be similar to what Yu Ran guessed.
There is a breeding farm upstream of the river that raises chickens, ducks and geese. Even the poultry eaten by the tens of thousands of people living here are bought from him.
But although raising these things makes money, you must be prepared to lose money at any time.
That breeding farm is considered an industry of the brigade and is used to help the village generate income.
Every year during busy times, people are recruited from the village. It is difficult for rural people to make money and they have no opportunities. This breeding farm is their main source of income.
So the villagers have a deep affection for this farm.
But chickens, ducks and geese, no matter how experienced they are, will inevitably get sick.
Especially when the farm was built, it was built directly upstream of the river for the convenience of water. In order to hire fewer workers and spend less money, the duck feces and other things were directly discharged down the river.
As a result, this time, the weather was too hot, and some chickens, ducks and geese were so hot that they were unwilling to throw them away, so they plucked their feathers and gave them to the hired workers as a benefit to them.
After all, food was precious in this era. Not to mention that these poultry died of heat, they would eat them even if they died of illness.
That’s meat!
In an era where it is difficult to even eat enough, and when minced meat is not available all year round, how could they dislike it?
It was okay at first, as few poultry died, so the farm people didn't feel so distressed if they were distributed to the employees.
But I don’t know what happened later. The chickens, ducks and geese in the farm suddenly died in large areas. Some of them were not dealt with in time. They went downstream along the river and rotted in the river, making the water in the river smelly.
As for the poultry that had time to process, there was no way to throw it away. After all, it was all meat. They did not dare to sell these poultry to the outside world, so they could only pickle them all, and those that could be pickled were distributed to people in the nearby villages.
At first, the people in the village were having a great time eating, and the smell of meat could be smelled from a distance in the neighboring villages.
But gradually, some people begin to have stomach pains, then nausea and vomiting, and even erythema and fever.
Moreover, more and more people are getting sick.
More and more poultry are dying on farms.
Experienced people in the village directly suggested that they stop eating these dead poultry. They also speculated that the poultry might be infected with a disease. This disease is so serious that it can even be transmitted from poultry to humans.
At first, the people at the farm didn't care, thinking this man was deliberately trying to scare people.
But as more and more people get sick later, no one can ignore it.
But it was already too late. Some dead poultry that had not been processed had already flowed downstream along the river. Especially the excrement of these poultry had also gone downstream. This disease is very contagious and there must be many people.
They've all been tricked.
The breeding farm was so scared when they first guessed this situation that they kept it secret for fear of being held accountable by their superiors.
When I found out that many people in the family home had the same disease, I almost collapsed.
The sick people in the village initially regarded the farm as a cash cow. Even if the farm made a big mistake now, they collectively hid it and refused to report it. They were afraid that the farm would be gone next year and they would not be able to make any money.
These are the same people who endured the pain and finally couldn't bear it anymore. Small clinics are also afraid that if they don't accept these people, they have no choice but to come to the military hospital.
After hearing what they said, Yu Ran had an idea and said directly, "This matter cannot be hidden, especially since this river spans half of the country. I am afraid that people are sick in many places now. Fortunately, you told us earlier.
Otherwise, if it were later, the situation would be more serious and you would all be arrested. After all, you have made a big mistake."
Yu Ran said calmly.
When these people heard what she said, they were frightened to death, especially the mountain, whose face turned pale with fright.
He was just an employee at the farm, and he just listened to the people above him. He had no idea that the disease was coming so violently, let alone that they had polluted the river water, which also flowed through so many places.
At first, they thought that the people in their village got sick from eating dead poultry, but they were lucky to know that people in the family home also got the same disease.
I think the people in the family home may have gotten sick after eating poultry from their farm.
Although they did not dare to send poultry that died of illness to family homes and carefully selected the lively ones, it was inevitable that these poultry were not infected.
Now we know that some people may have gotten sick just by drinking river water, and they were so frightened that they could not speak.
Although I don't know how serious it is, if I think about it before, it would be a big deal that would make me lose my head.
Yu Ran knew the situation and was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He wanted to seize the time to develop medicines to alleviate the epidemic.
I feel that this disease is very similar to modern bird flu, but it seems to be more serious.
She studied the blood of those who were sick and found that some of the cells in it were mutated.
Lu Yujing, who had been recording next to him, became serious after hearing what these people said.
Unlike them, he knew that if the disease really turned out to be what Yu Ran said, the consequences would be serious.
I was glad in my heart that Yu Ran thought the river water smelled so bad that he was not allowed to wash clothes there. Even the well water from his own home had to be disinfected before use.
He found it troublesome at first, but he always listened to Yu Ran.
Now I feel that maybe he and Yu Ran can be healthy because of this.
"Have you recorded it? I will go to the laboratory for research later. You don't have to come with me. You can explain the situation clearly to Dr. Qian and the others." Yu Ran was about to leave the ward and ordered him as he walked.
"Um."
The man nodded.
When the villagers nearby saw her leaving like this, they quickly shouted, "Doctor, you can't just leave like this. Our disease hasn't been treated yet."
Yu Ran turned around and gave them a serious look, "If you don't want to die, just shut up. I need to develop a medicine now. If I can't develop it, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover either."
These words made them feel anxious.
I want to open my mouth but then close it.
But before Yu Ran could leave, Dashan, who had been holding on just now, suddenly passed out.
His face was red, and he looked like he was in a crisis situation.
Everyone was in an uproar, turned pale with fright, and shouted, "Da Shan! What's wrong with you?! Don't scare us!"
Yu Ran frowned and stepped forward, directly checking his pulse. His pulse was weak, and even his breathing was heavy, as if he couldn't breathe.
Chapter completed!
