Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 302 Mass Burial Mound

...

Li Mu talked to the woman while poohing the remaining water in his mouth, but the woman couldn't help but turned pale with shock when she heard his words, but she was a little puzzled.

"Where did the water in this tank come from?"

Li Mu pointed to the water tank and asked the woman. If his guess was correct, then the reason for the man's recurrent illness would be confirmed.

"The water is drawn from the river in the county. Most of the people in the county get their water from there, and our family also goes there."

"Doctor, but our family uses this water, so why don't we have any problems?"

The woman said in a panic, and then thought that the whole family used the water, so why didn't she and the child get sick?
"There is a kind of germ in the water. The water in the pot is fine. It may be because it was boiled, and the high temperature killed the germ. If the water has not been boiled at high temperature, if it is eaten by someone or has a wound on its body, it will be dead. will be infected."

Li Mu figured out the reason in a moment, so he explained to the woman, and at the same time confirmed to the woman whether she was drinking boiled water, and after receiving her answer, Li Mu showed an expression that really was the case.

"And maybe you're the only one who isn't infected!"

While talking, Li Mu walked up to the child, spread out his palm, and showed the woman the blemishes on it.

Dengdeng!

Seeing the spots on her child's palm, the woman staggered back a few steps as if she had been hit hard, then rushed up and grabbed the child's hand to watch, and at the same time opened his shirt, and found some very light spots on it.

"My God! This is killing me!!!"

After confirming that the child was also infected with the plague, the woman immediately cried out to the sky with tears streaming down her face, but compared to the woman's uneasiness, Li Mu's expression was relatively calm.

Once the problem that had been worrying him was clarified, then he would have a way to deal with it after treatment.

"Sister, don't panic, now that the problem has been clarified, this plague can be cured!"

Now that the cause of the disease has been figured out, the plague is not difficult to deal with. After careful questioning by Li Mu, it turned out that the boy was thirsty before. Seeing his mother cooking medicine, he ran to the water tank and took a spoonful of water to drink. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the symptoms were still mild at this time.

After Haosheng comforted the woman, Li Mu began to draw up a prescription again. The child's symptoms were relatively mild, so the dosage was adjusted.

After he went out, Li Mu gave the man the injection again, then poured a pot of hot water to let it cool down a bit, then wiped him, waited for a while, and gave it to him again.Diagnosed the pulse and found that the condition did not recur again, so Li Mu let out a heavy breath.

The woman who went out to collect the medicine soon came back, but the sadness on her face was a little bit worse. After Li Mu asked, she found out that the stock of medicinal materials in the county was running low. With so many people collecting medicine every day, it probably wouldn't last for a few days.

Now the passages in and out are guarded by strict soldiers, and it is even more difficult to purchase medicinal materials.

She only caught one dose of medicine in the past this time, which undoubtedly made things worse for them.

"Then use these medicines for the time being. By the way, where is Dr. Ye's clinic? You have to tell him about the problem with the river."

Li Mu didn't find it strange when he heard the woman's words. After all, most people in a county are infected with the disease, and the consumption of medicinal materials can be imagined. Those medicines sent by the warlords did not help.

So Li Mu wanted to find Dr. Ye and tell him the situation. As for why he was looking for him, it was because Li Mu saw from his prescription that this man's medical skills were so good that he probably had a certain reputation in the county. Through him, he could be effective. It makes people here believe that there is a problem with the water.

After the woman pointed out the direction, Li Mu ordered a few more words, and then walked towards the medical center, only to meet Ah Xing who was out of breath on the way.

"Did you find something by running so fast?"

Li Mu looked at Ah Xing who was panting against the wall and asked, and after Ah Xing calmed down, he couldn't wait to say to him, "Master told me to come to you, saying that he discovered the origin of the disease in this place!"

"Let's go, show me there!"

Hearing A Xing's words, Li Mu shelved his plan to find Dr. Ye, and followed A Xing to the place where Zhang Chengli was.

And Ah Xing led Li Mu from the street to the suburbs gradually, and he couldn't help but stop when he saw the scene in front of him, staring at the scene in front of him.

In front of him was a brand new piece of soil, and some of the corpses inside were exposed by the rain. The soil was soaked in blood and turned a little dark brown after being exposed to the wind, rain, and sun. On one side is a small river four or five meters wide.

The body exposed from the dirt bag on the far side was already rotten, and the glistening black water flowed down the slope into the river. Zhang Chengji squatted on the edge of the river and didn't know what he was looking at.

For a moment, Li Mu didn't know what to say. From the news they heard from the tea stall owner, he quickly understood that this should be the place where those who were dragged to be cannon fodder and died in battle were buried.

It's just that at a glance here, you can see how perfunctory the people who buried them were. They just dug a hole hastily and filled it back at will. That's why after being drenched by the rain, the soil erosion exposed the corpses inside.

And after the heavy rain, it was exposed to the sun, and the rapid rise in temperature accelerated the corruption of these corpses, and the corpse water produced by the corruption carried various germs into the river, polluting this river. How could people who eat this river water Not sick?
Therefore, Li Mu didn't like the warlords in this place very much, and even developed disgust.

"Senior, what did you find?"

Seeing that Zhang Chengji had been squatting there not knowing what he was looking at, Li Mu walked to his side and asked.

"Look here."

Hearing the movement behind him, Zhang Chengren moved away and pointed to a place and said to the centimeter, and Li Mu leaned over to watch after hearing the words, and couldn't help but look at him with some astonishment.

"Senior, this is..."

Li Mu asked with some uncertainty. On the edge of the river, there were several footprints of different shades, and there was still an ominous atmosphere left on them.

He vaguely guessed what it was left behind, but he couldn't be sure, after all, it was recorded in the classics that every time this thing appeared, it would be accompanied by a catastrophe.

"That's right, this is the breath of the plague ghost!"

Zhang Chengji looked at Li Mu solemnly and said, but Li Mu couldn't help but shrink his pupils suddenly.

"Master, what is a plague ghost?"

Ah Xing next to him couldn't help but asked in confusion when he heard it, and he was even more puzzled when he saw Li Mu's reaction after hearing the plague ghost.

"It's a long story, boy, explain to him what a plague ghost is."
