Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 32 Cremation
When the guards dragged the doctor's body past Ozuki, Ozuki's eyes widened. She never thought that the doctor would go in vertically and come out horizontally.

"They actually killed the doctor!" Shen Yinxing was also surprised: "Then what should we do next, what about the patients in the cabin?"

You must know that they are on the Ganjiang River now, and there is only this doctor on board, and they will take five days to reach Hebei.

If it is really an epidemic and it is not treated in time, then no one on board will be able to escape.

"There is a suspected plague in the cabin, we have to report it to General Fang as soon as possible, so that we can get attention early and evacuate the crowd, maybe there is still time." Shen Yinxing glanced in the direction of the deck.

"Yeah!" Mizuki nodded in approval.

Then, Shen Yinxing walked towards the deck with Xu Ajiu in his arms.

On the deck, the soldiers who had practiced all day were resting in place.

"Stop! Don't you know that women and children are not allowed on the deck during the soldiers' drill?" Two armored guards holding spears stopped Shen Yinxing.

"I have something to see General Fang," Shen Yinxing said while looking at the two guards.

"General Fang, you, a woman, can meet whenever you want? Besides, what can you do?"

Seeing that the guards in front of him didn't intend to let go, Shen Yinxing raised his eyebrows: "This matter concerns the lives of [-] soldiers, if you stop it again, you can't afford to have something happen."

"You're still scaring people with the lives of [-] soldiers, but you're talking about what can kill us?" The guards didn't take it seriously, and glanced at Shen Yinxing contemptuously.

"General Fang! There may be a plague on the ship, we need to see a doctor!" Obscure Moon shouted loudly in a clear voice, she was too lazy to argue with these people, and at this moment, she did not care about the consequences of disturbing people's hearts, so Obscure Moon simply directly Throw this bombshell out.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant silence on the deck.

Obscure Moon's voice was clear, and everyone heard the word plague, and their faces changed suddenly

"What is said is true?"

Hearing this, Fang Qishan immediately stood up from his seat and asked in a deep voice to Misty Moon.

Shen Yinxing: "A lot of family members have already coughed up black blood at the bottom of the cabin. You have to see a doctor to find out what kind of disease it is, but the disease is very likely to be contagious."

After hearing this, Fang Qishan's expression was gloomy, and he ordered: "Go to the ship's doctor and ask him to take a look."

"The ship doctor has been killed by Patriarch Gongsun, and we saw with our own eyes that the doctor's headless body was thrown into the Gan River." Mizuki shrank her head and said.

"What? Who gave him the right!" Fang Qishan was furious when he heard that the ship's doctor had been killed. They were his subordinates. What right did the Gongsun family have to deal with their own soldiers!

Shen Yinxing: "General Fang, the most urgent task now is to gather the sick people in one place, and then isolate the other family members in the cabin. Smoke the bottom of the cabin with wormwood, sprinkle vinegar water on it, and do a good job of sanitation."

Fang Qishan glanced at Shen Yinxing, a little surprised that this woman has such insights, and these methods of epidemic prevention are also recorded in military books.

"Zhang Xiang! I remember that you have learned a little bit of medical skills from Lao Chuan Medicine, and now you are a ship doctor. I order you to go to the cabin to check your condition."

Fang Qishan was ordered to face his lieutenant in danger.

Lieutenant General Zhang Xiang knelt on one knee: "No!"

"Send people to vacate two empty ships, and move all the sick people to one ship, and those family members who are not sick in the cabin are temporarily shut down on the other ship."

"At the bottom of the cabin, someone fumigates it with wormwood and sprinkles it with vinegar water."

"Notify the big families on the ship not to go out for a few days, and then ask them if there are people who are proficient in medical skills."

"Send someone to notify other ships. If you find that there are also sick people on other ships, report immediately!"

Fang Qishan issued several orders again and again, he would not be careless in the face of the plague, the soldiers and horses he finally gathered could not be ruined here!

"promise!"

The soldiers listened to the order and immediately took action.

Zhang Xiang led a team of soldiers, covered his mouth and nose with cloth strips, and entered the bottom of the cabin to check his condition.

"Vice General Zhang, please show my seventh uncle first." Lu Yue, who was also covered with a veil, brought Zhang Xiang to the old village chief's bed.

At this time, the emaciated old village chief was lying weakly in the quilt, and he didn't even have the strength to cough, so he could only exhale hoarsely, with a sound like a dilapidated bellows.

The old village chief's fingertips were covered with black blood, his face was lifeless, and his body exuded a sour smell.

Zhang Xiang looked at the old village chief's face, eyes and mouth, and found that his eyebrows had fallen out, his gums had shrunk, and his nasal cavity had collapsed.

Then Zhang Xiang lifted his sleeves again, and found that the old village chief's arms were covered with blue-red spots, and some of the spots had ulcerated marks on the edges, and the old village chief's toes had turned black and began to fester and ooze pus.

In just two days, the old village chief was tortured badly by the illness.

Looking at the old village head lying on the ground, Zhang Xiang's face became more and more gloomy. This is indeed an epidemic. He had seen similar records in the medical books of the old ship doctor.

Eyebrow loss, coughing up black blood, green spots, and blackened toes are the symptoms of leprosy.

The disease is highly contagious and can be transmitted through airborne droplets. The fatality rate is also extremely high. Coughing is only the prelude to the onset of the disease. When the body is covered with bruises, it is impossible to save.

Zhang Xiang lifted up the sleeves of several people who were also sick, and found that they all had festering bruises on their arms.

Now it can be confirmed that it is an epidemic. Zhang Xiang has a worried expression on his face. He only has a superficial understanding of medicine. The banner of fighting the epidemic is really too heavy for him.

"Father! Daddy!" A wet man rushed in from outside. It was Xu Jia, the son of the old village chief.

Xu Jia was originally trained as a heavy armored soldier, so he was trained on another ship. Hearing the news that his father was seriously ill, he jumped off the ship regardless of orders, and then swam back here.

"Father! Daddy, I haven't seen you for two days. Why are you so sick?"

The old village head's son cried and rushed to the bedside. The old village head moved his fingers, trying to touch his son's head, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

With a gloomy face, Zhang Xiang pointed to the old village head on the ground, and said coldly: "He is hopeless, move out and burn!"

After hearing this, Xu Jia immediately turned red-eyed: "What! You can't even cure me, so you're going to burn my father to death?!"

When the people around heard this, they also murmured in their hearts, no one would be cremated before they died.

The ancients paid attention to being buried in the ground for safety, and could not accept cremation. Even the most wicked person would not end up with no bones left.

Xu Jia firmly disagreed, and protected the old village head's bed, not allowing anyone to approach.

"Your father is hopeless! He will be relieved if he contracted leprosy disease and ended his life as soon as possible. The diseased body must be incinerated as soon as possible."

Then, Zhang Xiang ordered: "Anyone who enters this cabin is not allowed to leave this ship from today on!"
