Chapter 76 Plague
Li Ming hurriedly turned his head and saw Gao Wei looking at him with a smile on his face. Li Ming hurriedly wanted to help the tree trunk up and stand up. Gao Wei put his shoulder on one hand to stop him and said, "No need to be so polite. You are seriously injured. I doubt whether you can survive. I didn't expect you to be able to walk by yourself. It seems that you are not an ordinary person. You are already dizzy and can refuse a child's food, which means you are a very caring person. And you can't be a fisherman in the lake halfway up the mountain. Your palms are smooth and clean, without a little calluse. How come you look like a fisherman? Judging from your physique and physique, you are a martial arts man, right?"
Li Ming smiled awkwardly and was about to answer, an anxious voice interrupted his words: "Mr. Gao, go and have a look! Uncle Wang and the others suddenly became ill. Now they are almost out of reach!" A young man said panting while running.
Hearing this, Gao Wei didn't bother to talk to Li Ming anymore, and hurriedly followed the young man and left Li Ming alone and was stunned.
Li Ming stood up with the trunk. He didn't know what kind of disease those people had suddenly had, but some of them had saved him after all. If he could help him, it would be a kind of reward for Erniu and the others. Thinking of this, he picked up a branch beside him and moved in the direction where the young man ran.
When Gao Wei arrived at the scene, it was already in a mess. Five or six people fell to the ground and groaned in pain. The ground was full of vomiting filth and water-like feces, and there were a lot of people around him.
Gao Wei couldn't help but feel shocked. The thing he was most worried about finally happened. Is the plague after every flood really inevitable?
Seeing Gao Wei arrive, the people all gathered around and told him what happened just now. Gao Wei frowned and shouted loudly: "Don't quarrel everyone! How can I hear clearly when you are like this? Stop it! Zhang Kui, tell me!"
Everyone gradually calmed down, and Zhang Kui said, "Wang Dagou and the others started to get sick this morning. At first, the big dog started to get diarrhea, and then the other few people started to get up. They were very squatting on the ground and unable to get up. An hour ago they started vomiting. Mr. Gao, is it a plague?" Hearing the word "plague", everyone around was in a stir.
Gao Wei nodded with a serious expression and said, "It seems that it is true." As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became turbulent again. Several people even ran away from the crowd and hid in the woods.
Gao Wei hurriedly shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! There will be a plague after the disaster, everyone should be prepared in their hearts! I think those people should not be more struggling, let them die on their own."
As soon as the words were finished, a few people in the crowd started to cry. Erniu ran to Gao Wei and knelt down. His face was black and white with tears. He looked at Gao Wei and begged: "Sir, please be kind, please save my father! Erniu begs!" After that, he kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic. Behind him, the relatives of several patients also knelt down and begged Gao Wei bitterly.
Gao Wei's face trembled violently for a few times, and suddenly made up his mind and shouted to Zhang Kui: "Zhang Kui! Drag all these people away! We can't live here anymore. The miasma here is too heavy. If we continue to live, we may not be spared. Notify everyone to move as soon as possible and we will walk up the mountain."
Zhang Kui hesitated for a moment and immediately shouted loudly: "Have you heard it? Go back and pack up your things quickly! These people have been infected with the plague. If you continue to stay here, no one in our village can escape! Don't everyone believe Mr. Gao's words? Since he asked us to leave, what are we waiting for? Lao Zhao! You and you, the young man, will you hurry up Erniu and the others!"
Everyone ran towards the mountains and forests with a bang. A few young people came over together, and raised the kneeling people on the ground and were about to run. Suddenly, a weak voice sounded in the noise: "Please wait a moment, they are not unsuccessful! It is still time to treat them."
The people who fled in chaos ignored who said what they said. Only Gao Wei was shocked and looked in the direction that made the sound. Li Ming was struggling to move towards the place with a wooden stick.
Gao Wei hurriedly ran forward and supported him and said, "Why did you come here? You might as well leave quickly! There can't be people here anymore! And everyone is in a hurry to run for life, and no one cares about taking care of you anymore. Young man, I'm really sorry for you! I want to follow everyone to find a new place to stay, and I don't care about you anymore. After all, there are so many people in them! I can't leave the whole village in order to take care of you, so you can leave this place quickly. I am a martial arts practitioner, and your body should be recovering quickly. I believe that you will be able to take care of yourself in two days. You can only wish you good luck." After saying that, let go of Li Ming and you will run with everyone.
Li Ming hurriedly grabbed Gao Wei and said anxiously: "Mr. Gao! I'm not for myself! I mean those people can still be saved!"
Gao Wei turned around and looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Of course I know this, but in this natural disaster, I don't have herbs for them at all. How can I treat it? Young man, I know you are kind-hearted, but I really have no choice. Where can I ask me to find medicinal materials! I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible."
Li Ming hurriedly shouted: "I don't use medicinal materials! They can treat them! And you don't need to leave! As long as the source of infection is controlled, you will not be infected with the plague! Please, please advise everyone not to leave, I need someone to help me save them!"
Gao Wei, who was about to run away, was stunned, turned his head and asked suspiciously, "No medicinal materials? As far as I know, even if they use medicinal materials, their hope of survival is very small. How can you save them without medicinal materials? Who are you?"
Li Ming hurriedly said, "I am Li Ming! The God of Medicine Li Ming! Don't you believe me? I am Li Ming!"
Gao Wei's face changed drastically for a few moments, and hesitatedly asked: "Are you really a god of medicine?"
Li Ming nodded and said, "That's right! The title of God of Medicine is everyone's love for me. Sir, these people have not completely lost their hope of survival, and cholera is not scary. As long as everyone knows how to prevent it, there is no need to find another place to travel through mountains and rivers. Please call them all, I need help to treat them."
A few hesitations flashed across Gao Wei's face again. Suddenly he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards everyone, shouting loudly while running: "Everyone wait a moment! Listen to me! Zhang Kui! Stop everyone! I have something to say."
After organizing it in such a mess for a long time, Gao Wei and Zhang Kui stabilized everyone. Zhang Kui wiped the sweat beads on his face and said dissatisfiedly to Gao Wei: "Mr. Gao, what are you doing? Everyone is in a hurry to avoid the plague. If there is something wrong, wait until we find a place to stay. Many people have run far away, and I have to find them back! If you have anything to say, please say it quickly!"
Gao Wei was also sweating while wiping the steamed buns and said to Zhang Kui: "I asked everyone to run away just now because I couldn't control the plague, but now there is a way, why do we still run? It's not easy to find a suitable place to settle in this flood-ridden place! Zhang Kui, have you heard of the God of Medicine?"
"Why haven't you heard of it!" Zhang Kui said angrily: "The God of Medicine is our great benefactor! If it weren't for him, the plague half a year ago would have killed the whole village! By the way, what are you asking about this now? We were all planted by you for us. Didn't you say that at that time? This is the method passed down by the God of Medicine. Why did you ask me instead?"
Gao Wei laughed and said, "Tell you good news. The God of Medicine has arrived here. He has a way to stop the plague here!"
"What?" Zhang Kui widened his eyes and shouted in surprise: "Where is it? Don't lie to me! There are only people in our village here, where does the doctor come from? The only outsider is Erniu rescued him from the water. What Mr. Was he talking about? Impossible! The doctor is a god sent by God from God. How could he be like his bear, fighting for the children's food? I don't believe it if I beat him to death!"
Gao Wei hurriedly covered Zhang Kui's mouth and said anxiously: "What are you talking nonsense? You are just yelling all day long that the gods descend to earth! The god of medicine is also a person! A person like you and me! But he is a very noble person, a master doctor who saves the people of the world in the water and fire! His medical skills are unparalleled in the world, but he is also an ordinary person, unlike the gods descending to earth you said! Erniu did a great good thing, otherwise the god of medicine will be killed in the flood. Zhang Kui, I believe that he is the god of medicine! Because a small thing that happened in the woods just now made me convinced that only such people could be the god of medicine! Believe me, Zhang Kui, I will not read it wrong!"
Zhang Kui opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just followed Gao Wei to Li Ming half-believingly.
Li Ming, who was full of anxiety, saw them coming and shouted hurriedly: "Mr. Gao, Uncle Zhang, hurry up! If these people don't rehydrate in time, it will be really helpless!"
Zhang Kui looked at Li Ming in confusion and asked, "Are you really a God of Medicine? Why do I think you don't look like you? If the God of Medicine looks like you, it will really disappoint me."
"Okay! Stop being slow!" Gao Wei interrupted Zhang Kui's words and turned to Li Ming and asked, "What should I do, sir?"
Li Ming hurriedly said, "Sir, please cook a pot of water immediately, put salt and alkali in the water. I wonder if you have brought it? It is best to put salt and alkali on it."
Zhang Kui said in embarrassment: "We don't have much salt anymore, so I'll take a little alkali. I'll go and look for it. But I still can't believe you completely. I still want to let them avoid those villagers. There is no way, I'll stay and help you."
At this time, Erniu also ran over and shouted, "Brother Li, I'll help you too. If you can save my father, I will be a cow and horse for you for the rest of my life." After that, he ran over to help Zhang Kui burn the fire.
After finally waiting for the boiled water to cool down, Li Ming limped and helped them pour the water into the mouths of several patients. These patients vomited after drinking and pulled it after vomiting. After a whole day of busyness, the symptoms of these people were relieved.
The salt collected by Zhang Kui was already missing. After using the last bowl of water, several people stood up. Li Ming held his tired body and sighed: "Just go here. We have tried our best. The dehydration symptoms of these people have improved significantly. Whether they can survive depends on their luck. Unfortunately, my medicine box is not here, otherwise their chances of survival should be much greater. Erniu, please boil another pot of water and add more alkali. We must wash our bodies well. Be careful. Don't eat before washing, and don't put your hands to your mouth."
Gao Wei asked tiredly: "Sir, how to prevent the spread of the plague? I'm not at ease with so many people here."
Li Ming looked around and pointed to the surging flood under his feet and said, "Mr. Gao, it is the culprit of the spread of the plague. This plague is called cholera. I believe that Mr. Hunter has heard of it." Seeing Gao Wei nodding, he continued, "Cholera mainly spreads from the water. When floods occur, the climate is humid, and cholera will rage with the flood. So I want to tell you that you should not drink raw water in the future, and the water you drink must be boiled completely! This is a very important point. In addition, anyone who has come into contact with these patients must wash their whole body with hot alkali water.
The clothes should be boiled in boiling water, and you should not be careless at all. The feces that the patients eliminated must be burned on the rack. This is impossible for a few of us alone, and we must mobilize everyone's strength. Uncle Zhang, please pick out a few strong people from the villagers and come with us to take care of these patients. They are all your villagers, so we can't just ignore them. Others are staying temporarily one or two miles away from here. According to the method I said, boil water and disinfect it every day, so that the spread of cholera can be prevented and controlled as much as possible."
After hearing Li Ming's words, Gao Wei hurriedly went to help Erniu boil water. Looking at the gradually improving faces of several patients on the ground, Zhang Kui knelt in front of Li Ming and said, "The leader is above, please forgive the unreasonableness of his subordinates."
Li Ming was shocked and said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhang, please get up quickly. How can Li Ming lead the leader? You called me leader just now? Who are you?" Li Ming suddenly became alert. Not many people knew about the creation of the Medical God Sect. Now, when someone called him leader, why don't he be surprised?
"I am Zhang Kui, the leader of the Taohua Village sect in Huzhou. This time, all the people Zhang Kui brought out were from this sect." Zhang Kui knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
