The head of this village was very young, less than forty years old. He brought Lu Ziyuan and Lian Guanlang to his home and asked his wife to quickly clean up the house.
"Master Lian, Mrs. Lian, if you look at what is missing in the house, just tell me. If we can get it, we will bring it to you." After hearing the officers and soldiers calling Mr. and Mrs. Lian Guanlang and Lu Ziyuan, I learned that Lian Guanlang
After the surname, the villagers followed suit and felt even more respectful to the two of them.
"No need, keep everything simple. You ask all the villagers to gather here. Without further ado, I will diagnose everyone immediately and separate the infected from the uninfected." Lu Ziyuan looked at the house. It would be nice to have a house.
, at night, she and Lian Guanlang went into the space to rest.
I learned from the village chief that there are more than 400 people in this village. Dozens of people died of the plague and more than a dozen people died of starvation. The remaining people now are estimated to be in their early 400s, or even less than 400 people.
.
However, even if there are only 400 people, it is still a tiring job to check them one by one. At the door of the village chief's house, people are queuing up and they don't know where they are. In the queue, pregnant women and children go first.
, then the old people, and the last ones are the young people.
All those who were confirmed to be infected were sent to the big ancestral temple in the village and quarantined first. The healthy people went back to their homes. Those who had coughs but no obvious symptoms and needed to be observed were concentrated in the small ancestral temple.
Diagnosing more than 400 people, Lu Ziyuan sat until late at night to diagnose all the people. The situation was not optimistic. Among the more than 400 people, nearly the average number of people were confirmed to be infected, and more than 50 people were suspected of being infected.
, half of the children are infected.
"Village Chief, have you ever seen this grass in your village?" Lu Ziyuan asked as she placed the green mint she took out from the space into the village chief's hand.
The village chief pinched the leaf and looked at it for a while before replying, "I think I've seen it by the river on the mountain, but I'm not sure if it's this one."
"Take me to see tomorrow. Do you still have water at home? I need water to boil some medicine." Lu Ziyuan asked.
"Yes, there is one in the big water tank in the kitchen. I will take you there." The village chief nodded, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lian has been busy for so long and she forgot to pour water for you."
The village chief's wife quickly took out a bowl from the kitchen cabinet, filled two bowls of water directly from the water tank, and handed them to Lu Ziwan and Lian Guanlang.
Seeing the extremely conspicuous unknown floating objects floating in the white porcelain bowl, Lu Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, "Is this how you usually drink water?"
"Yes." The village chief's wife looked puzzled, "I'm sorry, our village doesn't have much money, and we don't have any good tea to entertain you two. I hope you don't dislike it."
"There are many organisms and germs in this raw water that everyone can't see. Village chief, tell the whole village that all water must not be drunk unless it is boiled." Lu Ziyuan put the bowl back on the stove and said, "There are diseases in the village.
, it’s more or less because you drink raw water. I guess there may be something wrong with your water. The drinking water in my previous village has never been so dirty. You can take me to your water source tomorrow to have a look."
"There was a severe drought today. Many animals in the forest ran to the river. Many livestock died on the river. Everyone just drank water and didn't care much." The village chief said.
"No wonder you have water here but the plague broke out before the nearby villages." Lu Ziyuan nodded. Probably all the animals nearby went to the river on the mountain here. As a result, even the source of the virus was attracted.
The drinking water was contaminated, and the villagers drank raw water directly without boiling it, so the plague spread in the village.
"Village chief, you and your wife first go to the village and ask everyone to stop drinking raw water and drink water. Remember, it must be boiled before you can drink it. I will deal with you, and then boil some medicine and wait for you.
When you come back, help me deliver the medicine to the villagers." Lu Ziwan wanted to leave the two of them. Only the village chief and his wife were left in the house. After the two left, there would be no outsiders in the house.
