Chapter 37 Killing Heart

plague!

Liu Xuan suddenly had this terrible suspicion.

Everyone in the entire Mule Market Street was sick, and there were only a few people selling goods on the streets.

There was a strong rancid smell in the air.

Liu Xuan did not go in any further, and took Hu Cao Xuchong to retreat to a place with fresh air in the distance.

"Xu Chong, you are more familiar with the situation in the city. Think carefully about how this Mule Market Street is different from other places. Especially the food and drink, and what is the normal flow of people?"

Xu Chong knew the seriousness of the matter, recalled it carefully for a moment and replied,
"Mule Market Street is close to the West City Gate. On weekdays, some mule and horse traders come here to trade, but now that the city gate is closed, the mule and horse traders will definitely not be able to enter."

"As for food, the meals during this period are all relief received from the county magistrate's office, so there will definitely be no problem."

"Oh, right," Xu Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Lushi Street is next to the west city wall. There is an culvert under the wall that connects to the tributaries of the Huai River. On weekdays, people wash rice and vegetables, and mules and horses drink. They all like to go to this culvert. In the pool.”

"Come on, take me to see you,"

The two of them did not dare to go into Mulushi Street to see it, but took a detour directly to the west city wall.

Liu Xuan stood high on the city wall and looked towards Mulushi Street.
I saw a spring of more than ten square meters along the street.
There is constant gurgling water below, which is really good as a place for washing clothes and vegetables.

Liu Xuan's eyes followed the direction of the culvert and extended to the outside of the city.

The source of the culvert is connected to the tributary of Huai River.

The keen eagle eye activates,
Liu Xuan could clearly see the scene hundreds of meters away.

I could only see the connection between the culvert and the tributary, and the water surface was covered with a few wooden boards, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on below.
Two wild dogs were running back and forth around the river.

At this time, a wild dog jumped up and jumped onto a wooden board.

Put your head under the water, bite something and pull it out.

The thing was torn apart by the wild dog and carried away in its mouth.

Liu Xuan saw clearly that what the wild dog was holding in its mouth was clearly a soaked human hand.

Looking further into the distance, all the places leading to the river were guarded by Ji Ling's soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach.

"What a ruthless Ji Ling," Liu Xuan looked away with murderous intent in his eyes, "I, Liu Xuan, will definitely take the life of a loser."

Although Liu Xuan was mentally prepared for the intrigues and intrigues in these troubled times,

But the scene in front of him still exceeded Liu Xuan's understanding.

It also made Liu Xuan really intend to kill Ji Ling.

[Notepad opens.]

[In 197 AD, Huaiyin County, you came to Luoshi Street to investigate the strange deaths of people, and found that a plague had occurred here. You followed the clues and discovered that the cause of the plague was caused by the enemy using corpses to pollute the water source outside the city. You hate this kind of behavior deeply and have murderous intentions towards the enemy coach Ji Ling. 】

[Trigger challenge mission: Kill Ji Ling]

[Mission details: Kill Ji Ling and the enemies related to creating the plague. 】

[Task reward: entry*2]

Having determined that it was a plague, Liu Xuan immediately returned to the county government office without further delay.

Zhao Liniang, Cheng Hu, Qin Li, Li Lin, Shen Fu and other officials from Huaiyin all gathered here.

If a plague breaks out in the city, the whole city must be mobilized immediately.

In this era of backward medical skills, if it is not dealt with in time, the whole city may be wiped out.

Three thousand tiger battalions were to garrison the city wall, so Liu Xuan had to put in five thousand new soldiers.

Mule City Street was immediately sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave for the time being.

Especially the pool, which was directly blocked by bricks and stones, and no one or animals were allowed to get close to it.Several surrounding streets are also isolated.
A market in the west of the city was cleared and all military tents were set up.
as a temporary isolation point.

All the doctors in the city were also summoned to examine every resident.
Anyone with fever, cough or skin ulcers will be isolated separately.

In order to avoid unrest among the people,

The whole city is under martial law. People can only stay in their houses and are not allowed to move around at will.

Each street sends a few people to the relief points to receive meals every day.
Liu Xuan drafted a leaflet and asked the soldiers to distribute it everywhere.

Let people pay attention to drinking water and food hygiene, and report to the street management immediately if they feel unwell, etc.

Fortunately, in this era of frequent plague outbreaks,

The doctors in the city also had some methods to prevent the plague.
Thanks to Liu Xuan letting Shen Fu purchase a large amount of herbal medicine before starting the war,
Among these are herbs used to prevent plague,
The medicinal herbs were boiled into medicinal soup and distributed to all the quarantined people.
After three days of intensive action,
The people living near Luoshi Street were finally put under hierarchical quarantine.

Those who are asymptomatic and those with mild symptoms are isolated separately.

As for the people who are seriously ill, they can only be arranged on the spot in Luoshi Street.

Liu Xuan knew that these seriously ill people were hopeless.

These people were infected by directly drinking contaminated water.

Judging from the current statistical data,

The time from infection to fatality of this disease is very short.
People in good health can only survive about a week.
Old people suffering from old diseases will die in two or three days.

Liu Xuan has done everything he can do,
But this is a plague, and immortality is impossible,

The doctors in the city tried all their methods, but they could only save two or three hundred people from death.

More than 2000 people were infected with the plague in Luushi Street and nearby streets.

Not even one out of ten survived in the end.

Fortunately, Liu Xuan acted in time and the plague did not spread throughout the city.

As the last batch of corpses were burned together,

Liu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire city is still under martial law and all residents must be quarantined for another seven days.
In addition, the area near Luoshi Street has been temporarily designated as a restricted area, and no movement of people is allowed.

Seven days have passed like this, and no new infected cases have been found in the city.

The plague, which lasted for more than ten days, was finally suppressed for the time being.

. . .

Outside the city, Ji Ling's army was present.

The city has been besieged for more than ten days. In these more than ten days, no siege has been launched.
Instead, the superior issued an order that no one was allowed to move around at will.

It’s just that with so many people doing nothing every day, there will always be some restless soldiers.
In a small forest not far outside the city, a few soldiers took advantage of the opportunity to help transport food.
Hiding in the woods to rest.

On such a hot day, working outside the city is really killing me.

Bingyouzi took advantage of this time to hide under the shade of a tree and rest.

At this time, a wild dog waddled into the woods to look for food.
This makes Bing Youzi, who hasn't had enough to eat for several days, so hungry.

One of them lay down on the ground and waited until the wild dog approached.

The gun in his hand was thrown fiercely, hitting the wild dog.
The wild dog fell to the ground and struggled twice before making no sound.
The soldiers skinned the wild dog and roasted it directly on the fire.
Because they escaped secretly, several people ate the wild dog completely without waiting for the dog meat to be roasted.

That night, several soldiers suffered from diarrhea in varying degrees.
The next day, all the soldiers had a fever, but because they did not dare to confess that they went out to eat dog meat privately, they
Several people didn't report it, and they just kept going as usual.
On the fifth day, all the soldiers died in the camp.
Moreover, all the soldiers in the same tent had varying degrees of cough and fever.

This matter was reported to military advisor Yang Hong, whose expression changed drastically.
He knew that they were still being attacked.
