Chapter 33 Panic and Hope
"What do you think of?" Zhou Bingjun asked bitterly.
Everyone below looked at each other. After winking each other, Du Chongxiao finally spoke: "Mr. Zhou, in my opinion, I should send an army to the next place and bring out a few people from Liulin Town. The most elite forces will be organized by major clinics in the city, even if they come up with a treatment plan. At the same time, after I came down, I immediately sent a message to the Master and tried to invite the Master to send an alchemist to come, which may be helpful."
"I agree with Brother Du's opinion." Chen Conglong said immediately.
Yue Shan also said, "I agree too."
Wang Huaji looked at everyone and said, "I think what Brother Du said makes sense. However, the troops sent to Liulin Town also need to provide some protection. These are all elite soldiers of the empire, so they cannot be killed. I think Doctor Shen needs to worry about this."
"This is not a matter of worrying about the head of the Wang family." Chen Conglong said with a cold face.
Wang Huaji smiled embarrassedly, but didn't say anything else. In fact, he just made this request, just to help Zhou Bingjun support the situation. In fact, in his heart, he didn't think that killing a few soldiers was a big deal.
"Then I'll have to worry about Dr. Chen. I hope Dr. Chen can take out anti-epidemic drugs as soon as possible so that the men of Gongzhou City can enter Liulin Town, save the entire Gongzhou City, and even save the people of Shu." Zhou Bingjun said seriously.
Chen Conglong said: "Mr. Zhou can rest assured that my Shen family still has a few poison-proof pills brought from Tianyi Gate, so it is still okay to prevent several soldiers from being infected with the epidemic."
"So good! So good!" Zhou Bingjun said excitedly.
...
The spread of rumors is far beyond people's imagination. If the Jiufing Evil Lord came to Gongzhou City before, which only caused some surging undercurrents among the martial arts people in Gongzhou, then the emergence of this plague made the entire Gongzhou City boil.
This is a kind of panic! Endless panic.
No one is not afraid of plague. Even a martial arts master will at most be more resistant to epidemic poisons. As long as you do not have the ability to invade all poisons, you will not dare to directly contact epidemic poisons.
This panic caused trouble, and some timid people began to leave Gongzhou City. Whether they visited relatives and friends or moved out directly, they were unwilling to stay in Gongzhou City now.
For a time, Gongzhou City became much deserted.
Of course, if it is just deserted, it is not a big deal. The most troublesome thing is that the crime rate has increased several times. Almost every day there are robbery cases, and occasionally murders appear. This not only makes the bronze medal captain Liu, who is the six-door gate, almost busy, but even the county magistrate Zhou Bingjun, has a headache.
This is still the case in the city, and several towns around Liulin Town are now empty.
If the Zhou County Magistrate had not sent troops to surround Liulin Town early and strictly prohibited anyone from going out, I would have been in chaos in the entire Gongzhou City now.
A group of people carrying the epidemic and poison ran around, which was frightening to think about.
But even so, County Magistrate Zhou was still feeling uncomfortable.
Now that the characteristics of the epidemic poison have not been clearly understood, do you know if it will spread rapidly? If the soldiers on the periphery are also infected, the trouble will be great.
County Magistrate Zhou didn't want to wait for a moment. After getting the six poison-proof pills provided by Chen Conglong the next day, he immediately sent six soldiers into Liulin Town and forcibly took away four patients infected with the epidemic.
Although some conflicts occurred during this process, these soldiers were well-trained after all. Although they did not cultivate internal strength, their physical strength was comparable to those of martial arts practitioners at the Qi-gathering level, and they were not something ordinary people could compete with.
These four patients infected with the plague were not taken back to Gongzhou City, but temporarily stayed in Sangzi Town next to Liulin Town. Chen Conglong also organized famous doctors in Gongzhou City to rush to Sangzi Town as soon as possible.
All this seems to be very smooth, but when they were treating these patients, they found that the symptoms shown by these patients were actually different. In other words, this epidemic poison will have different effects on different people, and the corresponding treatment methods will be different.
This is a very troublesome thing, because even if they find a way to cure the four people in front of them, it will be of no use to thousands of infected people in Liulin Town. Unless they can go deep into Liulin Town and diagnose and treat these infected people one by one.
As for bringing all these infected people out, no one dares to have such crazy ideas.
The remaining way is to send people into Liulin Town, and they must also be someone with very in-depth research on the treatment of epidemics.
This seems to have returned to the starting point, who is willing to go to Liulin Town?
Of course, there is still a chance to solve this problem. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The most difficult thing now is whether anyone can treat this epidemic.
This is a headache for all doctors in the entire Gongzhou City, except Chu Yun.
...
Chen Conglong worked hard in Sangzi Town for a day, but the result was not very ideal. He gathered dozens of doctor-level doctors in the entire Gongzhou City but failed to come up with a reasonable treatment plan.
This is the first time Chen Conglong has returned home three days after leaving Shen's clinic.
These days are the busiest period of his life, and it is almost impossible to have a rest time every day.
"Master, you have been staying in the county government for the past few days. I wonder if Gongzhou City is almost in chaos." Manager Liu happened to come to the Chen Mansion at this moment. Seeing Chen Conglong with a tired look on his face, he stepped forward and said.
Chen Conglong stopped and said, "Old Liu, are you talking about the epidemic? I'm going out for this reason these days. But we didn't stay in the county government, but went to Sangzi Town. But we didn't expect the news to leak so quickly. I guess the whole city has already known about the plague."
"Just, it spread shortly after you left," said Manager Liu, "Master, since you have come back now, is it said that the plague has a way to control it?"
Chen Conglong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "How is that easy? The three great doctors in our clinic are still in Sangzi Town. I went back to the clinic just to bring some medical skills and medicinal materials to study. It is estimated that it will take at least ten days to get results. I hope the infected people in Liulin Town can persevere."
"What? This epidemic poison treatment is so difficult?" Manager Liu said in disbelief.
Chen Conglong sighed and said, "No one of the epidemic poisons is easy to treat, otherwise people would not be afraid of the plague."
"But..." Manager Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "On the same day, a patient infected with the virus came to our clinic. Dr. Chu cured him with just a prescription. Yesterday, the patient made a special trip back to the clinic to thank Dr. Chu and gave us a plaque."
"What?" Chen Koonglong's mouth was enough to stuff a duck egg, "You... are you saying true?"
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes." Manager Liu said.
Chen Conglong woke up a little from the shock and said, "The doctor Chu you are talking about is Chu Yun?"
"Of course, there are no other doctors named Chu in our clinic." Manager Liu said.
Chen Conglong immediately said, "You go and call Dr. Chu Yunchu immediately, no, you are invited... Forget it, I'll go there myself." After that, Chen Conglong was about to turn around and go out.
"Master, don't rush this time! It's dark now, why don't you go tomorrow?" Liu Jiangui persuaded.
Chen Conglong thought about it and it was no big deal to delay this night. According to their judgment, the epidemic poisons will not be fatal yet.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so hiding! I used to think that I had overestimated him, but in the end I found that I underestimated him." Chen Conglong's worry went away most of the time, and he couldn't help but arrange Chu Yunlai.
Manager Liu said, "The master doesn't know that Dr. Chu has the talent of alchemy, and I don't know who he learned it from. A few days ago, he used the alchemy furnace in the clinic to refine a elixir to cure diseases. Although the elixir to cure diseases is just a small way, it also shows that Dr. Chu is very talented. Why don't you think of a way to recommend him..."
Before Manager Liu finished speaking, Chen Conglong interrupted: "I have heard of what you said, but elixirs are not that simple. Ordinary elixirs are naturally easy to refine, but elixirs suitable for martial arts practitioners are not so easy to refine. Not to mention the control of heat, just the demand for internal strength is not something Chu Yun can do. I heard that Chu Yun has extremely poor roots and bones, so it can only be described as dull. Such a person cannot cultivate internal strength at all, and it is even more impossible to become a real alchemist."
"Hey!" Manager Liu sighed. No one can change the theory about the root bones.
...
Early the next morning, Chen Conglong took Manager Liu to Chu's Mansion in person.
They did set off very early and just dawn. After all, Chu Yun would go to the clinic for treatment in a while. If they talked about this with Chu Yun in the clinic, they would seem to have little sincerity.
In fact, Shen Conglong was also worried. After all, going to Liulin Town is a life-and-death task, and Chu Yun may not agree. Besides, Chu Yun still has some conflicts with Gongzhou Cheng County Government. If Chu Yun insists on slapping it, no one can do anything about it.
Regarding the plague in Liulin Town, Chen Conglong and other wealthy families in Gongzhou City have basically the same idea, that is, they must not allow the plague to spread.
If the plague really spreads to Gongzhou City, although the most tragic people are the ordinary people and the most helpless one is the county magistrate Zhou Bingjun, the big families in Gongzhou City will also suffer heavy losses, after all, their foundation is here.
The relocation of the family is definitely a damaging matter for these high-ranking families, and maybe the family's declining may not be the case.
If it were not forbidden, Chen Conglong would never want to move out of Gongzhou City. This is also the main reason why he has always been so concerned about the treatment of the plague in Liulin Town.
