Chapter 71 Investigation
  "When did your mother become ill?" Shen Jia asked the little boy.

"This morning I started having headaches and abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. My mother thought she had eaten something bad, but who knew later..." the little boy choked.

"I'm the doctor. Do you still have the stuff your mother pulled out?"

When the little boy heard that Shen Jia was a doctor, his eyes lit up and he ran to the corner and brought out a toilet tray.

Shen Jia picked up the wooden cover of the toilet tray. Suddenly, a disgusting fishy smell hit his nostrils. It was filled with bloody and watery rice stool.

Shen Jia nodded towards Xiao Yichen.

Their hearts sank to the bottom at the same time.

This epidemic is aggressive and contagious. Without timely treatment, patients will die from dehydration within a few hours.

There are three types of cholera: cold cholera, dry cholera, and hot cholera. Judging from the woman's symptoms, she was suffering from hot cholera.

Shen Jia took out the silver needle bag from her purse, quickly pricked a needle in each of her four acupoints: Shaoshang, Guanchong, Shaoze, and Weizhong, squeezed out a little blood, and then applied a needle in Hegu, Sanli, Taichong, and Dadu. Puncture at the , Quchi, Yinling, Chengshan and other points.

Shen Jia took out paper and charcoal from his backpack and wrote a prescription for the little boy: "Your mother is infected with the epidemic. I will sting her to wake her up now and then take the decoction orally. This is the prescription. Take it to her." Take the medicine and boil it in three bowls of water and one bowl of water."

The little boy's eyes were red, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed with a thud, "please save my mother, my mother and I are the only ones left in our family."

Xiao Yichen raised his hand: "Get up! Speak slowly if you have something to say."

It turned out that the woman lying on the bed was none other than Lu Xiaoju, the granddaughter of the seventh uncle.

After Lu Xiaoju was introduced to Bozhou and married, her husband was very kind to him at first. Later, after hearing someone say that Lu Xiaoju married to Bozhou because she had lost her reputation, she lost interest in Lu Xiaoju. He also married a widow from the same village as his wife. After the wife gave birth to a child, she drove the mother and son to the old house. Lu Xiaoju also wanted to be strong, opening up wasteland and farming and going to the city to help people starch and wash clothes to support herself and her son. This time When a severe flood occurred, the new house was located on a lower ground. By coincidence, the new house and the people living in it were washed away.

Lu Xiaoju had been feeding herself and her children from meal to meal these years. There was no money left at home to buy medicine, so her son knelt down and asked Shen Jia and the others for help.

Shen Jia took out a 10-tael silver note from her purse and gave it to the little boy, "Take this bank note and bring back some medicine for your mother."

The little boy had never seen a banknote before, and he was so frightened that he waved his hand quickly, "There are too many, I can't take them, just give me the money for medicine."

Shen Jia nodded secretly, Lu Xiaoju taught this little boy well.

"Take it, your grandfather and I are from the same village, so I will help you."

The little boy stopped refusing and ran out quickly to grab medicine.

Lu Xiaoju woke up just in time to hear Shen Jia say that she was from Beili Village, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Girl, are you really from Beili Village, Yixian County?"

Shen Jia knew what she wanted to ask and said with a smile, "Yes! Don't worry, the seventh uncle is in good health, and your parents are all fine."

Lu Xiaoju's tears flowed down and she choked with sobs: "That's good!"

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Shen Jia asked: "Aunt Lu, after the flood, did anyone from the government inform you about epidemic prevention? And where did the water you drink come from?"

"After the floods receded, the government officials beat gongs and drums to inform us on how to prevent the epidemic. The water we drank was from the river at the end of the village."

"Do you know where this river comes from and where it goes?" Shen Jia asked eagerly. Lu Xiaoju shook her head, "I don't know."

"The main source of infection for this disease is the water in the river. When your son comes back, tell him to tell the villagers not to drink the water from the river if they don't want to die. Then the government will send people down to inform you. , let's leave first. If you need anything, you can come to the government office to find me." After Shen Jia finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Yichen out of the door.

"Xiao Yichen, let's ride to the government office immediately." After Shen Jia finished speaking, he got on his horse.

This time the big black horse stopped dragging his hooves and even rubbed Shen Jia's hand.

Xiao Yichen sat behind Shen Jia, the tips of his ears were slightly red.

"Xiao Yichen, we must find the source of this epidemic immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous." Shen Jia said seriously.

Xiao Yichen thought thoughtfully, "Miss Shen, will the disease spread to other places along the river, spread between cities with convenient transportation, and eventually spread to all small cities and countryside?"

Shen Jia nodded and praised: "Yes, you are quite smart! You know what you are doing, it is exactly what you said. If it is not stopped in time, it may spread to the whole Zhou Dynasty or other surrounding countries!"

Xiao Yichen was shocked. He believed that Shen Jia was not an alarmist. Neighboring countries were examples three hundred years ago.

"Miss Shen, what do you think we should do now?" Xiao Yichen asked anxiously.

He himself didn't understand why he believed in Shen Jia so much. He subconsciously felt that the little girl in front of him could solve this plague.

"There are four main ways of spreading cholera. One is through water, the other is through food, the third is through daily contact, and the fourth is through flies. Now our most important thing is to find the water source that caused this plague. Where?"

"I agree. The environmental sanitation of the village we just went to is very good. They drank the water from the river and got the disease. The source should be upstream. Not only do we need to send people to find the source of the disease immediately, but we also need to send people to notify people along the river. Villagers cannot drink water from the river."

"Yes, send people to find the source of the epidemic and immediately clean up the garbage, feces, etc. at the source, and then sprinkle some disinfectant powder into the river..."

When the two arrived at the government office, Shen Hao, Xiao Ping, and the guards had already arrived, but Doctor Qin's carriage had not yet arrived.

Xiao Ping was relieved when he saw Xiao Yichen's hanging heart, and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, can you wait for me next time? You don't know how much I felt when I got here and didn't see you. Panic."

Xiao Yichen glanced at him and said, "Okay, isn't this palace doing well now?"

Shen Hao pulled Shen Jia and asked a few questions. Shen Jia explained to him, then took a mask and put it on him, and the story ended.

Although this epidemic is not spread by droplets, the smell is so sour that even wearing a mask is nauseating.

Xu Shaoyu, the magistrate of Bozhou, heard the report that Xiao Yichen was coming, and took the magistrate and other officials out to greet him.

"Your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson!"

Xiao Yichen raised his hand slightly: "No courtesy!"

After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he entered the yamen first and sat down at the main seat.

"Xu Shaoyu, I would like to ask you whether you have issued my orders to every village." Xiao Yichen's eyes were sharp, and his innate imperial aura was so strong that he could not help but bow his head with such pressure.
