After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 175 Epidemic Prevention
Coming out of Master Cheng's house, Bai Fu wanted to go back to Xiaoxi Village to find Luo Jin to write something.

But the curfew had already started on the street, and it was estimated that the city gate was about to close, so I suppressed my thoughts and went back to Detian Pavilion.

Approaching the gate of Detian Pavilion, I saw a carriage from a distance. I thought it was someone from Yunqi, but when I got closer, I realized that it was Mr. Fei who came with Xiao Si and A Li.

"Why are you here so late?" she asked in surprise.

Xiao Si ran to hold her hand, raised her head and said crisply:
"Xiaobai, if you don't come home for a few days, dad and I are worried about you, so we will come to look for you after school."

Although it's not necessary, but for some reason, Bai Fu's eyes met Shang Xiaosi's concerned little eyes, and he felt a warmth in his heart for no reason.

"Thank you, Xiao Si." Bai Fu couldn't help pinching Xiao Si's face.

Mr. Fei came over.

She held Xiaosi's hand, looked at Mr. Shangfei with a clear expression:

"Xiao Si made a fuss about coming, right?"

Mr. Fei smiled slightly and didn't answer, but the silence had already given Bai Fu the answer.

Xiao Si was unhappy, and pouted her mouth:

"It's not me making a fuss. Dad is obviously worried too, so he went to the government office to inquire about it himself."

Bai Fu didn't know about this, and was slightly surprised.

Mr. Fei explained: "That day, I told the story of a person's life. I went to the government office to see if there was any news. No one sued the officials, so I didn't mention it."

No wonder, Bai Fu saw that Ah Li was still holding a food box, and said:

"Let's all go in, it's curfew, we can only rest here tonight."

Knowing that Xiao Si was coming to find Bai Fu, Da Ya packed some food for him. After a day of tossing, Bai Fu happened to be hungry too, so he began to eat.

"Is there any progress about the shop?"

Xiao Si had already eaten, and kept picking up vegetables for Bai Fu, and while Bai Fu was resting, Mr. Fei, who hadn't interrupted the conversation, asked.

Bai Fu shook his head.

"That can't be rushed, there is a more urgent matter to deal with now."

"What's the matter?" Mr. Fei handed over a glass of water, "Speak slowly."

Bai Fu took the water and took a sip.

"You came just in time, help me write something tonight, and then can you take me to see Zuo Zhizhou tomorrow?"

Mr. Fei no longer asked any more questions, but nodded, "Okay, let's talk after we finish eating."

After eating, Bai Fu told her about the news and precautions that Master Cheng needed to inquire about for her.

It was the first time Mr. Fei worked together, and he was not as familiar as Luo Jin, so she slowly explained in detail.

After listening to Mr. Fei, he pondered for a while and began to write.

After a while, a survey plan was formed. Bai Fu took it and read it, and couldn't help but praise:
"I didn't expect our first cooperation to go so smoothly!"

She and Luo Jin tortured each other for a while before they developed such a tacit understanding.

Mr. Fei picked up another piece of paper, dipped it in ink, and asked:
"If you want to talk to Zhizhou tomorrow, do you want to write a copy?"

Bai Fu nodded, "Yes"

The next day.

Early in the morning, Zhizhou was still having breakfast when he heard that Mr. Fei had come to see him. He was very surprised, and ran to the living room without caring about finishing his meal.

"Son Feasts You"

He rushed here in a hurry, and was about to speak, when he looked up, he saw Mr. Bai beside his friend, and he took back the teasing, saying:
"Young Master Bai also came here so early, but is there something important?"

Of course he was aware of the rumors about briquettes in the town in the past few days, and he asked Mr. Fei specifically, and Mr. Fei told him not to be overwhelmed, as long as he pays attention to ventilation, there will be no problem.

After listening to him, he felt relieved a little, but the worries in his heart did not decrease much.

In addition, the women in the family objected to each other, so they agreed to stop the briquettes at home, and planned to wait and see for a while.

This Mr. Bai suddenly came to the door, it must be related to this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhizhou felt a little embarrassed——
After all, he doesn't know whether honeycomb is poisonous or not, and he can't help if he wants to. If he is asked to come forward to refute the rumors
Xu Zhizhou coughed twice:
"It's about the briquettes."

"Lord Zhizhou, the briquette matter cannot be rushed."

Bai Fu naturally saw the change in his expression, so he interrupted Zuo Zhizhou's words first, and asked directly:
"I want to know, is there a plague in the Huang family?"

Xu Zhizhou was still immersed in the embarrassment caused by the briquettes, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face was startled.

"Has it spread?"

impossible.

When he received the news from the government doctor, he immediately dispatched the most capable people to deal with it--
According to the emergency response plan for the plague issued by the Prince Regent the year before last, the people were quarantined first, and then the news was strictly blocked to avoid causing panic among the people.

How did Mr. Bai know?
Seeing his friend's startled look, Mr. Fei motioned him to be calm:
"No, don't get excited, find a quiet place to talk to you about something."

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zuo Zhizhou put on a surprised look, and led the two of them into the study.

Xu Zhizhou roughly explained the situation.

The first case of Huang's family happened ten days ago, and it was a shopkeeper who came from out of town to deliver the ledger.

The shopkeeper had symptoms on the way. After seeing the doctor, he said that he was suffering from a cold. Just keep warm and rest.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the shopkeeper, the Huang family members fell ill one after another.

The reason why the government acted so quickly was that it had issued a notice to the civilian doctors in advance, requiring that more than ten people with the same disease must report to the government in time.

The number of confirmed cases in Huang's Mansion is now more than a dozen. Because of the timely blockade, there is no epidemic report outside Huang's Mansion for the time being.

That is, the source of the disease is only in the Huang Mansion for the time being, and it is still controllable, Bai Fu feels at ease.

She asked some more basic questions.

It was found that it is indeed a group infectious disease that is different from individual infectious diseases--
Those who are newly ill have direct or indirect contact with the sick.

So she shared her simple conjecture with common modern coping methods.

Zuozhizhou finished listening quietly and looked at Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei didn't say much, and handed him the content he had written last night, saying:
"Here are the specific methods and precautions. Yuanzhi will take a look first, and you can ask if you don't understand."

Xu Zhizhou took the letter in doubt, opened it, and looked at it with serious eyes.

"Isolation, washing hands before meals and after going to the toilet, covering the face at the entrance and exit, and ensuring that the water source is clean. These are no problems. You can use alcohol to disinfect and fumigate with traditional Chinese medicine in Huangfu. Is this really effective?"

Zuo Zhizhou asked.

Regarding alcohol, he naturally heard Mr. Fei say it, but he was as skeptical as Mr. Qin.

"Compared with wormwood, alcohol is faster and more effective."

Bai Fu patiently explained that she smelled a strong smell of wormwood in Huangfu that day, presumably the wormwood they mainly use now.

Xu Zhizhou pondered for a moment.

"Is it effective for sick people?" he asked.

Bai Fu glanced at Xu Zhizhou.

This is to ask her whether alcohol can drive away the evil spirits in the patient. In ancient times, the bactericidal and disinfecting effect of wormwood was regarded as evil spirits.

Hey, we are really professional disinfection, not exorcism.

Bai Fu shook his head:
"It's the doctor's business to treat illnesses."

She is not a doctor, and now she only knows that it is most likely an infectious disease, but does not know which disease or virus it is, so she can only prevent and suppress it.

Xu Zhizhou was a little disappointed.

The disease developed rapidly, and many doctors were invited to see it, but the root was not cleared.

Every sick person may be the source of the disease. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be out of control.

I don't know if it's really worried, or I don't trust her method, Xu Zhizhou's disappointment is obvious, Bai Fu thought for a while, and asked:
"The initial patients had direct contact with the shopkeeper?"

Just now, Bai Fu didn't ask in detail, and Xu Zhizhou didn't go into detail. He only said that after the shopkeeper went to Huang's mansion, people in Huang's mansion got sick one after another. I don't know how.

Xu Zhizhou felt that there was no need to hide the matter until now, so he said:

"No, only the second master and the second wife met the shopkeeper, but they were not the ones who got sick first, but Mrs. Huang. Mrs. Huang had no contact with the shopkeeper, but the second lady went to see Mrs. Huang on the day she saw the shopkeeper. The doctor speculates that it may be that the old man was weak and couldn't bear the disease first, and then the young lady of Huang's mansion and his aunt fell ill one after another."

Unfamiliar with the population structure of the Huang family, Bai Fu was a little dizzy.

She thought for a while, and asked in thought:

"If Mrs. Huang got sick first, it may be that Mrs. Huang first came into contact with the source of the disease, and the shopkeeper had no contact with Mrs. Huang. How do you determine that you were infected by the shopkeeper?"

Xu Zhizhou was taken aback by the question, and said:
"Only the shopkeeper had the same symptoms, who else?"

This is not unreasonable. Although the shopkeeper is said to have recovered when he arrived at Huang's house, it cannot be ruled out that it is still contagious, and it makes sense for the elderly to get sick first.

The information was limited, Bai Fu was not a professional, and he didn't have a clear idea for a while, so he fell silent.

Xu Zhizhou and Mr. Fei looked at each other, and Mr. Fei signaled him to be calm.

There were medical officers watching from the Huang family, Xu Zhizhou was not in such a hurry, but was inexplicably looking forward to some new ideas from Mr. Bai.

"When did Master Huang get sick?" Bai Fu asked in thought.

Xu Zhizhou: "After Mrs. Huang fell ill, Mrs. Huang went to take care of her illness. Three days later, Mrs. Huang became ill, and then several young ladies of the Huang family also fell ill one after another. Master Huang Er also fell ill at about that time. The latest one was yesterday. It's Mr. Huang's aunt."

Bai Fu was puzzled:

"Didn't it say that more than a dozen people were diagnosed? No one was diagnosed?"

Xu Zhizhou, "Yes, there are several stewards and women and maids in the mansion. Among them, a woman next to Mrs. Huang is the second to get sick. That's why the doctors think that Mrs. Huang passed it on to others."

"What are the identities of the other servants?"

"There are people around Mrs. Huang, and there are people around Miss Young Master." Xu Zhizhou said vaguely.

How did he know so carefully?

Bai Fu nodded.

That's reasonable.

If it's just the masters of the Huang Mansion who got sick, Bai Fu would inevitably think that it was a conspiracy.

After pondering for a while, Bai Fu came up with another possibility:
"It doesn't necessarily have the same symptoms to be the source of the disease. Sometimes there are no symptoms. It may be the source of the disease. You'd better investigate the time of each patient's onset, who they came into contact with before and after the onset of the disease, and whether those patients have any common characteristics. , and then eliminate the source of the disease one by one.”

Could it be the source of the disease without symptoms?

Xu Zhizhou was a little confused by these words.

But seeing Mr. Bai's unquestionable expression, he didn't know what to say, so he turned his attention to his friend--
If it wasn't for trust and understanding, Ziyan would definitely not bring Mr. Bai to him directly.

Sure enough, Young Master Fei nodded to him directly and said:
"There are no other countermeasures now. After some investigation, we may be able to find some clues."

Xu Zhizhou pondered for a moment and responded, and immediately called for someone to arrange it.

"Master Bai understands medical skills?" Xu Zhizhou asked.

Bai Fu wanted to shake his head, but thought that his alcohol needs some authoritative endorsement, so he held back, nodded and said modestly:
"A little bit."

Xu Zhizhou nodded thoughtfully, "Then where can I get the alcohol you mentioned just now?"

Mr. Fei looked at Bai Fu.

Bai Fu knew that it was inconvenient for Mr. Fei to say something, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation:

"Xiaoxi Village, I have someone arrange for it to be delivered, but I spent a lot of effort to make these alcohols, and the price is not cheap. Xu Zhizhou had better ask the Huang family for their opinions."

She is still used to being a villain first and then a gentleman.

Zuo Zhizhou felt that it was unnecessary, so he made a decision directly.

"Don't ask, it's about the lives of the whole family, no matter how expensive the Huang family is, they are willing to use it!"

These few days of isolation have also cost a lot of money. The old man of the Huang family has already said that as long as he can get through this difficult time, he will not hesitate to spend any money.

Since Zu Zhizhou was so sure, Bai Fu would not be polite, and after explaining some usage precautions, he left the government office with Mr. Fei.

"Why is there someone who is the source of the disease but has no symptoms?"

After getting into the carriage, Mr. Fei took the initiative to ask whether it was to ease the awkward atmosphere in the carriage.

Bai Fu was also a little embarrassed, so he didn't tell the truth, so he tried to explain it to him in an easy-to-understand manner.

However, there is always an end to the explanation, and after the explanation, the two returned to the state of having nothing to say.

Angle is driving today.

This car is a special seat arranged by Yunqi for Bai Fu, all the attention is spent on comfort, the compartment is not big.

Because it was still very cold outside, the curtains were closed tightly, and it was so dark that only Mr. Fei's faint but bright eyes could be seen.

So is Mr. Fei.

He found that Bai Fu liked to look into the other person's eyes every time he talked to him.

A few times, he saw his own shadow in the other person's eyes, and somehow felt a little strange in his heart.

It wasn't the first time he saw such gazes.

On the contrary, from childhood to adulthood, there have been countless more focused and expressive eyes around him than this one.

But it seems to be different--
She has him in her eyes.

But not like other women, only him.

Besides him, there seemed to be a bigger world in those eyes, and he was just a small scene in that world, apart from that, no other emotions were mixed in.

He suddenly thought that when he saw this girl for the first time, she seemed to be looking at her with such clear eyes.

When she saw him that day, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, the kind of surprise to see the beauty worthy of admiration, but it was only for a moment, and soon she returned to normal, expressing her gratitude seriously and sincerely.

That's why he ignored Xiaosi's objection, and didn't ask her to leave before she asked to get off the boat.

He was always curious.

What kind of world is that outside of him?
In the darkness, no one spoke.

There is an unknown breath flowing in the small space.

In the end, it was Bai Fu who broke the silence. She looked at Mr. Fei again, and asked nonsense:
"Thank you for accompanying me on this trip. Is it really okay if you don't go to class today?"

Xiaosi was sent back to class by Ah Li early in the morning, and Mr. Fei stayed here specially to accompany her on errands.

"There are other masters here today, so it's okay." Mr. Fei replied.

With a whistling sound.

Since that day, the two haven't mentioned mutual assistance.

Bai Fu didn't reply for a long time, and Mr. Fei didn't urge him, only Xiao Si whispered in his ear yesterday, asking her to think carefully and not to refuse in a hurry.

Xiaosi also reflected on herself and said that it was her fault in the past, and she was worried that her father would be taken away and her stepmother would bully her, so she deliberately did not tell her father that she met her in Bailu Town.

He also said that his father had always missed her very much, except for the hairpin, he had also asked Xu Zhizhou to find her.

"Xiaobai, don't worry, as long as you agree to be my stepmother, I promise I won't let my father take a concubine." The little girl said sincerely.

Bai Fu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and a little bit dumbfounded.

Based on her understanding of Mr. Fei and Xiao Si, it was definitely not Mr. Fei who asked Xiao Si to say this. She could feel that Xiao Si was indeed full of sincerity, but she still didn't want to, so she told the truth:

"I was actually in a hurry to come up with some contingency plans that day. After thinking about it again, I still felt that I shouldn't let it go. If I had to find someone to marry, I still wanted to find someone who has a relationship with each other to live with."

And your father is obviously not that person.

Ever since he knew that there was a way of special scientific examination, Bai Fu hadn't thought about making ends meet, and the most urgent thing now was to inquire about the rules of special scientific examination.

If she hadn't been delayed by this or that in the past few days, she would have replied to Mr. Fei long ago.

Bai Fu glanced at the glamorous man beside him, feeling a little puzzled.

Such a handsome guy, why is he so heartless and utterly in love?
It's simply a waste of money.

"You've worked hard too, why don't you take you back to rest first?" she asked.

"No problem," Mr. Fei said, "Just go back together after you finish your work."

Bai Fu nodded.

Master Cheng's family's livelihood business, if there is a plague outbreak, some news may be better than that of Zhizhou.

If Master Cheng's speculation is correct, the epidemic in the north will only be more serious. Bai Fu thought that he could speculate on the speed and scope of the epidemic's progress based on the business changes of Master Cheng's Shousui shop and medicinal materials wholesale shop.

This is related to the personal safety of the escort responsible for transporting coal, and also related to whether the follow-up honeycomb coal can be continuously supplied.

If you know it early, you will respond early.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about the epidemic." Mr. Fei said, "Aside from that prophecy, is there any other reason?"

Bai Fu rubbed his temples.

"I don't know why recently, I keep having some dreams about the plague."

Mr. Fei frowned, "Hasn't it been like this before?"

Bai Fu: "Never."

Mr. Fei was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What was the scene in the dream?"

Bai Fu: "There are countless casualties, and the people are in dire straits."

"Is it pox?"

"do not know."

Southern District, Cheng's family.

After Bai Fu reported his name, he was taken directly to see Master Cheng by the gatekeeper. Master Cheng knew that he would come today, so he started waiting early.

After Shen Yan read Bai Fu's letter, Old Master Cheng nodded and handed it to the steward at the side, "Copy it and send it to each shop, so that it can be done according to Mr. Bai's instructions."

The butler should be, took the letter and left.

Seeing that the matter was explained clearly, Bai Fu wanted to get up and leave.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your help. If the situation I mentioned occurs, please let me know in time. Mr. Cheng is busy, so I won't bother you any more."

"and many more"

Bai Fu got up, and Master Cheng also got up, "It's still early, Mr. Bai must have not eaten after working so hard, I prepared some wine and food, why don't we leave after eating?"

Just as Bai Fu was about to say that there were still people waiting outside, the servants and maidservants already filed in to set the table.

In the blink of an eye, the table is full of delicacies.

Bai Fu: "."

It seemed that she was well prepared, and she couldn't delay, so she had to sit down under Master Cheng's earnest gaze, "Then I will be respectful, but I still have some urgent matters, so I can only take a quick bite."

"Hurry up and eat." Mr. Cheng said thoughtfully.

He was really hungry, so Bai Fu started to eat, remembering that Mr. Fei hadn't eaten yet, so he asked Master Cheng to pack a portion.

Master Cheng winked, a servant girl stepped back, and after a while, a pretty and elegant woman entered with a food box.

"It's just out of the pan, and it's still hot. Young Master Bai can eat it slowly on the way."

The woman said kindly.

Bai Fu just took a sip of the hot chicken soup, when he heard this, he raised his head to say thank you, and unexpectedly met the woman's eyes.

The woman looked shy and coquettish, and when she saw Bai Fu looking over, she blushed and looked away.

Looking at Master Cheng, he was stroking his beard in satisfaction, with a smile on his face.

Bai Fu: "."

Because he was so good, everyone forced him to reveal his daughter's body.

Bai Fu coughed lightly, thought for a while, wanted to speak, but felt that he didn't know how to speak, and finally managed to squeeze out a smile from embarrassment, and buried his head to speed up his eating.

After eating, he bid farewell to Master Cheng, came out with the food box, got into the carriage and saw Mr. Fei reading a book with the window open in the carriage, Bai Fu said habitually:
"It's so dark in the carriage, reading is not good for your eyes."

Mr. Fei put down the book in his hand, "No problem, I'm used to it."

Bai Fu resisted the thought of asking about his eyesight, and handed over the food box.

"Wait for a long time. Master Cheng is too enthusiastic to keep me for dinner. I'll make a package for you."

Mr. Fei thanked him for taking it, and asked curiously:

"You are not related to Master Cheng, why is he so eager to help?"

Bai Fu spread his hands helplessly, "Maybe it's because I'm too good."

Mr. Fei gave his hand holding the food box a pause.

"what for?"

"Aren't you just like the Huang family, wanting to get married with me?" Bai Fu said, "Master Cheng said that his family has many grandchildren and doesn't need me to marry him, he just wants to get married."

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Young Master Fei's reaction calmly.

It's a pity that Mr. Fei's face is still pale at this moment, as if this matter has nothing to do with him.

Well, sure enough, what Xiaosi said is unbelievable.

soy Mujer.

Old misleading her.

Bai Fu thought for a while, and decided to speak clearly:
"I've thought about the fake marriage. I think it's a bit expensive. There's still a month left. I should be able to figure it out myself."

Mr. Wen Yanfei raised his eyelids, looked over with a blank expression, "What method?"

It seems to be too simple to be purely curious.

Bai Fu said: "I heard from Qin Shisan that taking a special scientific examination can exempt marriage, so I plan to try it."

Mr. Fei knew about the special scientific examination, and he hadn't paid attention to whether the marriage could be exempted, but since it was Qin Shisan who said it, it must be true, Mr. Fei said hello and didn't ask any more.

Bai Fu looked at Mr. Fei again, and asked:
"Then the trouble on your side, can you solve it?"

At the beginning, it was about reciprocity and mutual benefit, but now it is invalidated because she unilaterally does not need it. She should ask whether it is reasonable or reasonable. In ancient times, parents had a veto power and the right to make their own decisions in their children's marriage. It is scary to think about it.

"Don't worry." Mr. Fei smiled lightly, "It can be resolved."
