By the next day, more people affected by the disaster came.
On the third day, it almost reached a peak value.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is almost no gap visible outside the entire city gate.
Even so, on the fourth day, someone still came.
Many people have lost their homes and relatives and don’t know where to go.
Knowing that porridge and medicine are being given here at the city gate, I smelled the smell and came here following the news.
Maybe, this is their only hope to survive?
Even if you don't know whether the news is true or false, you still have to give it a try in order to survive.
So, go check it out!
There are obviously not enough government officials left in Fucheng.
Maintaining order and the like are already a bit busy.
After all, there were too many victims, and the number of government officials, even including those temporarily recruited, was only about twenty.
Everyone was so busy that their throats were filled with smoke, but they couldn't stop.
The good news is that on the afternoon of the third day, Yan Xingxuan came back with the levied food.
The bad news is that the number of victims is still increasing.
As for what will happen next?
No one knows.
On the fourth day, the sun was shining brightly.
The sun is so bright in the morning that it dazzles people's eyes.
Such weather...
The inventory of honeysuckle is running low.
Fortunately, there are still some that Yan Xingxuanzheng transferred back that can be used.
Moreover, if it really doesn’t work, you can still use Huoxiang and the like.
As for ten drops of water?
That is a compound type, not as simple as honeysuckle.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the doctors do not want to make things too complicated.
After all, it's just a precaution.
On the night of the fourth day, Lord Lou and Magistrate Xu finally came back.
Before Yan Xingxuan and the others came back, most of the disaster relief work in Fucheng was done by Xiao Nianzhi and other officials in Fucheng.
Xiao Nianzhi and Xu Miaoniang are mainly responsible for providing porridge and medicine.
The settlement of the victims and other order issues are all coordinated by other officials.
Everyone was so busy that their throats were smoking and their heads were oily.
After all, it’s really hot!
It had been raining continuously for more than ten days before.
Now it's better, the rain has stopped, and the sun has started to shine without even a drop of rain.
In today's situation, it's bad if it rains, and it's also bad if it doesn't rain.
All in all, the situation is not good.
Xiao Nianzhi has been worried.
Under such circumstances, the plague is truly unavoidable.
Because when floods destroy their homes, everyone will definitely drink some unclean water in order to survive when they have nothing.
Some even pick some wild fruits and the like to eat.
Dirty water entering the stomach is probably a nightmare for people who have been tortured by floods for a long time.
In this era where diarrhea can occur at any time.
A bowl of dirty water, for many people, is the life-threatening water!
By late July, what Xiao Nianzhi was worried about still happened.
At first, the plague only occurred in settled villages farther away.
But this kind of thing is an uncontrollable infection.
The other is a matter of living habits.
There is also the issue of incubation period.
When these issues come together...
It feels like a well water erupts instantly.
Xiao Nianzhi, on the other hand, had a feeling that it was indeed coming.
You must know that since Lord Lou and the others came back, Xiao Nianzhi has no longer been responsible for the previous work and has been following the imperial doctors.
Xu Miaoniang also joined the others, and they all assisted the imperial physician in the matching of herbal medicines.
Yan Xingxuan recruited many people back, and Yan Nanrong recruited some more.
These herbal medicines need to be neatly classified for easy use in the future, and some even need to be prepared in advance based on the prescriptions provided by the imperial physician.
In this way, you can cook it just by placing the bag, and if the imperial doctor is not around, you don't even need to ask for advice.
Anyway, drinking it is not bad, but it may not cure the symptoms.
And, when symptoms are severe...
Everything is hard to say.
In addition, Xiao Nianzhi also requisitioned distillation tools from Fucheng and began to produce allicin.
You definitely need to use anti-inflammatory and sterilizing products.
Diarrhea is originally an inflammation of the intestines.
There are no antibacterial and anti-inflammatory products. Drinking a lot of decoctions may not be effective.
When the plague first broke out, no one realized that something was wrong.
After all, nowadays, carriages and horses are slow, many places are affected by disasters, and the news may not reach Fucheng.
By the time Fucheng finally realized something was wrong, the plague was already somewhat uncontrollable.
The village where the outbreak first occurred, several nearby villages, and hundreds of surviving people are all in a bad situation now.
The problem is, everyone is still moving around while trying to survive.
After all, who wants to die if they can live?
Not only that, among the refugees pouring in from outside the city, there are also many in bad situations.
Some have fever, diarrhea, and some have persistent coughs.
Everyone has their own situation. No one knows whether this situation is contagious or not, and what will be the final result?
When people gather together, those who are sick, those who are upset, and all kinds of complex emotions come together, eventually creating an inexplicable panic.
However, people were afraid of the majestic city gate and did not dare to actually break into the city gate.
Moreover, what can I do if I go to the city?
The city gate was sprayed with medicine every day, but they still could not escape.
"God, you just don't want us to live!"
"My poor son!"
"Mother, mother, look at me!"
…
Cries, shouts, all kinds of complicated sounds, and emotions crowded together.
If there were not troops stationed at the city gate, there would have been an explosion on the first night of the epidemic outside the city gate.
There is no other way, my life is about to be lost, no matter what I say to them, it is useless.
What to do at this time?
Emergency plans must be activated.
Separate the good situations from the bad ones.
Some who did not want to be separated from their families voluntarily went to the sick place.
The city gate is divided into left and right sides.
On the left are people who are temporarily healthy, on the right are family members who are already sick or staying with them in bed.
The advantage of this is that the possibility of infection is greatly reduced.
However, because there is still an incubation period, no one knows who will explode next, and no one is sure whether the person next to him is fine today, but will he be safe tomorrow?
Therefore, the contradictions hidden under the left and right divisions quickly became apparent.
But, there is no way.
There is only so much that can be done right now.
Xiao Nianzhi has rarely gone outside the city recently.
One is that Yan Xingxuan is afraid that if she goes there, she will be hurt by the angry victims.
Another reason is that the weather is too hot and the air has become turbid. Who knows whether it will be contagious?
So, it’s not safe, so don’t go.
Master Lou didn't even let Yan Xingxuan's uncle and nephew run around.
This royal golden pimple, please don't cause any trouble for him!
He has old bones, he is really heroic, and he can still bring some blessings to future generations.
However, if another prince or prince is taken away in this wave, this blessing will definitely be compromised.
