Chapter 284? Plague

The battleship in front on the left stopped. King Haima, King Haixing, and Butterfly were sitting on the Japanese pirate fleet at the back, as well as the commander-in-chief Di Shen at the back. Obviously, the Ming army in front also discovered these followers.

A small boat was drifting in the waves. So he stopped. Qiu Wuhen took the monocular and continued to observe. He found that the Ming army in front rowed a small boat and approached the drifting wooden boats. But soon the people who boarded the boat came back.

When he got to his own boat, he rowed away quickly and returned to the boat. No one seemed to stand up on the boats that were drifting with the waves.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army's big ship told them in Chinese that all the people in the small boats were dead, and told them to continue moving forward without worrying about it.

Qiu Wuhen and the others followed closely and soon arrived at the water area. The boats drifted with the waves and passed by their boat. They could clearly see without a telescope that there were corpses and men on the boats.

There is a woman, and the body is obviously highly decomposed. The weather is hot now, and it looks scary.

Qiu Wuhen suddenly found a boat with a man waving to them vigorously. It was an old man.

General Di Shen said: "We can't go down. I don't know how they died. What if there is some terrible disease? It will be troublesome."

Of course Qiu Wuhen knew. But at this moment, the Chinese medicine gourd appeared in his mind, and a string of words appeared: "Save the sick crew member and his villagers."

From these words, Qiu Wuhen could preliminarily deduce that they were really sick, or they might be in danger due to some other reason and were waiting for rescue.

Qiu Wuhen said: "You guys stay on the boat, I'll go down and take a look."

Haimaxing immediately said: "I'll go with you."

Qiu Wuhen waved his hand: "No, it will be troublesome if it's some kind of illness. I'll just go down and take a look."

Orangutan and Orangutan 2 followed him like the shadow, and seemed to want to get on the boat.

Qiu Wuhen thought for a while and said to them: "Without my order, you are not allowed to touch anything, especially corpses. Just stay on the boat to ensure my safety."

The two nodded and agreed.

Butterfly was a little worried and said: "You don't understand the language, so you should take me with you."

Qiu Wuhen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, you can't go, just stay on the boat. If anything happens, just come over and help me."

Their boat quickly approached the small boat, and Qiu Wuhen took out a green leather glove and put it on his hand. This was something he had ordered in the capital before, for convenience such as autopsy.

After taking it out and holding it on his hand, he carefully turned over several corpses on the deck, which were all lying upside down. There were no wounds on the corpses, and there were no signs of normal struggle. There were also several packages in the boat, and there were obviously some things inside.

There are also several large wooden barrels for food, and the barrels may be filled with fresh water.

The old man waving to them was leaning on the stern of the boat, looking at him feebly. He waved to him from time to time.

Qiu Wuhen avoided the corpse on the ground and came to the old man. He looked at the old man and found that he was not in good spirits and had a sick look on his face.

Qiu Wuhen stepped forward and asked: "Old man, can you understand what I am saying?"

The old man looked at him blankly.

The orangutan in another boat said a series of words, and the old man replied with the same words. The orangutan stammered and said that the old man said that a plague suddenly broke out on their island, and many people died. They escaped.

When he arrived on the island, everyone else died of illness and he was the only one left.

Qiu Wuhen nodded. Although there was an outbreak of plague, as a doctor, you cannot refuse treatment just because you are afraid of being infected. It is the duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save people, even when faced with terrible diseases.

Qiu Wuhen came to the old man's side, grabbed his wrist, checked his pulse, and looked at his tongue. Where his tongue touched, a diagnosis result immediately appeared, labeled Big Head Plague. Big Head Plague is an extremely serious disease.

A terrible plague. It has a very high fatality rate in plague science.

Qiu Wuhen immediately asked Xangda to ask them where the island was. While asking, Xangda pointed to the distance and said, "It's in that direction, I know, I've been there."

"Let's go take a look."

Qiu Wuhen said loudly to General Di Shen on the ship: "Notify the main ship immediately and tell them that I am going to treat the diseases of the villagers on the island and let them rest and wait where they are."

Soon the other side agreed. Butterfly immediately said loudly: "I'll go with you."

Qiu Wuhen asked Xingda to pick her up. He also wanted to go to the cow water tank, but Qiu Wuhen scolded her back.

"Master, why can she go but I can't?"

Qiu Wuhen wanted to say, your father only has you as his son, so if anything happens to you, how can I explain it to your father? But if the people around you heard this, wouldn't they be very heartbroken? Thinking of it.

Here, Qiu Wuhen said angrily: "You still haven't finished writing a word, come here to join in the fun, go back to write and study."

"Your master is right. It's not just for fun. Why are you just a child joining in the fun?"

Butterfly joked.

Niushuitan didn't dare to contradict Qiu Wuhen, but he gave Butterfly a hard look, turned around and left.

They transferred a sufficient amount of traditional Chinese medicine to their small boat, as well as some medicine to treat the plague, and then rowed in the direction indicated by the old man and Xiang Da.

They quickly saw the island along the way, getting bigger and bigger, and in the end they couldn't see the end. The island was actually quite big, with thousands of households living on it, but they didn't expect a plague to break out.

Their boat gradually approached the shore, and many people on the shore were stopping to look. Their boat was getting closer and closer. At this time, the old man lying on the boat kept waving his hands in fear. He was still in a broken mood. He didn't know that Qiu Wuhen

Where were they going to take him? But now he understood, he waved his hands in panic and said something in the local language in a weak voice.

Butterfly said to Qiu Wuhen: "He was very nervous and said that he could not be sent back, they would kill him."

At this time, a soldier rushed over and said that the people on the island were pointing bows and arrows at them.

Qiu Wuhen was very angry, but he didn't understand why the people on the island used bows and arrows to treat strangers when they saw them. Qiu Wuhen asked Butterfly to ask what was going on? Butterfly walked to the bow of the boat and spoke loudly to the local indigenous people in dialect.

He was saying something. But at this moment, he heard a thud, Qiu Wuhen turned around and saw that the old man lying at the stern of the boat had turned over and fell into the water, and disappeared after a few bubbles.

Qiu Wuhen felt a sense of sadness in his heart. In fact, Yaohulu did not give him a treatment plan, so he had no way to treat him with traditional Chinese medicine, and there was no new test method to find out what he was. Therefore, Qiu Wuhen actually had no intention of treating him.

There is nothing he can do. Whether he falls into the water or drowns himself, it is probably the best outcome, because he will soon become like the other dead bodies on the ship.

The old man himself jumped into the sea and drowned. The man who pointed his bow and arrow at them immediately put away his bow and arrow and put down his knife.

Butterfly on the bow of the boat said to Qiu Wuhen: "They were shouting just now that they were not allowed to let the old man get off the boat, saying that he was the god of plague and would kill us all if he got on the boat."

Qiu Wuhen asked: "What plague god? What do you mean?"

Butterfly said: "This is a way to deal with the plague on many islands in the sea. Just like criminals, if the plague is found to be prevalent, they will put all the infected people on the boat, put a small amount of water and food, and then let them fend for themselves.

.They had just recognized that the old man was an old man who had drifted away from them and was infected with the plague, so they shouted not to let us take him close. Now that the old man has jumped into the sea and died, they have allowed us to dock."

Having said this, Butterfly paused and asked: "Sir, do we really want to dock? There is a plague here."

Qiu Wuhen could only smile bitterly, because the Chinese medicine gourd had already given him a task in his mind. Saving these villagers was a great and glorious task given to him by the medicine gourd. It was a humanitarian mission for the people of international communism and must be completed.

So Qiu Wuhen nodded and said to Butterfly: "Tell them that we are doctors and envoys of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that there is a plague here and we are here to help them."

Butterfly smiled and said, "You tell them yourself, and I will translate for you. The old man on the island is their clan leader."

The boat slowly docked, and several indigenous people ran over and squatted beside the boat. Butterfly said: "They want to carry us across."

Qiu Wuhen shook his head and looked back at Xing Da and Xing Er: "You two are very good at qinggong. Can you take Butterfly Girl and I to jump to the shore?"

It's only two or three feet offshore. Ordinary people can't jump over it, but it shouldn't be a problem for martial arts masters.

Zang Er didn't communicate at all, and his eyes immediately understood. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiu Wuhen's arm, and lifted him up into the air, as light as a goose feather, and landed easily on the beach.

When they came back to pick up the butterfly, the butterfly had already jumped up, made a somersault in the air, and landed on the beach lightly. Qiu Wuhen was extremely surprised, raised his thumb and said: "It's amazing, so your Qinggong is so good

Remarkable."

Butterfly chuckled and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter. Being thin has the advantage of being thin. Compared with that apprentice of yours, I am a little better."

Qiu Wuhen was helpless. The two of them were really at odds with each other. They couldn't see eye-to-eye with each other at all. They were so noisy that their ears almost became calloused.

Qiu Wuhen was about to speak when he saw that the clan leader had already come over, made a very weird salute, and started talking in a gibberish voice. He had a rather laborious communication with them, because every conversation had to be translated by a butterfly.

The old patriarch said: "Dear guests, I'm sorry just now. The old man is the God of Plague. He has been infected with the plague. He cannot be allowed to return to the island because he will kill everyone. That's why I pointed the sword at you."

Qiu Wuhen cupped his hands and said: "Ignorance is not a crime. We don't know what trouble you are in, but we are very willing to help you."
