Chapter 861 The Plague
In the next half month, when Gu Jiujiu and Yan Shi went to the market to set up a stall, they heard that there was a plague in Ji County.

This time the plague was so fierce that in just a few days, almost the entire population of Ji County got the disease.

Seeing that the epidemic was scary, the county magistrate hurriedly wrote a note to the emperor.

The emperor reviewed the papers and knew the seriousness of the epidemic. He first sent several experienced old imperial doctors to Ji County to help the official doctors in Ji County to develop a cure for the epidemic. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading, the emperor Another order was issued not to allow people from Ji County to leave Ji County. Of course, those who wanted to go to Ji County could not go again, and those who violated the law would be executed without trial.

After the imperial decree of the emperor came down, no one from Ji County dared to come out, and no one from other places dared to go to Ji County.

The old imperial doctor and more than a dozen official doctors from Ji County worked tirelessly every day to develop a cure for the disease. As time passed, they not only failed to control the disease, but made the disease more terrifying.

In the epidemic in Jixian County, the patients were just fatigued and vomited continuously at the beginning, but after taking the medicine from the old imperial physicians, some people even developed symptoms of confusion and unbearable abdominal pain.

When the people in Ji County first saw that the imperial court had sent an imperial doctor, they were overjoyed, thinking that the disease should be cured.

After all, the royal physicians of the imperial court are not small. If the imperial physicians have come, can their diseases not be cured?

However, when everyone took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors, their illnesses not only did not get better, but became more and more serious, they all started to panic.

Some couldn't hold back and wanted to escape from Ji County to see if they could be cured of their diseases by going to other places.

The emperor sent heavy troops to guard outside the city of Jixian County. Those who wanted to escape were either taken to the prison in the Yamen before they left the city gate, or they were caught back after halfway through their escape.

All those who were taken back were beheaded in public.

Since those people were beheaded, no one in Ji County dared to escape privately.

"Xiaojiu, there was a flood in Ji County not long ago, why is there a plague again now?" Yan Shi couldn't help but look at Gu Jiujiu and sigh after hearing the customer who ate rice noodles in the shop talk about the disease in Ji County. Take a breath.

There was such a big flood in Jixian County before that it almost submerged the entire Jixian County. Since ancient times, if there is a flood, if there are no defensive measures, the probability of epidemic disease is very high.

"Mother, this plague in Ji County is actually related to the flood that happened before." After Yan Shi finished speaking, Gu Jiujiu looked at her and said.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jiujiu would say this, Yan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Xiao Jiu, mother doesn't understand how the plague in Ji County is related to the flood in Ji County?"

When Yan asked, Gu Jiujiu simply told Yan about the relationship between the flood in Ji County and the disease.

After listening to Gu Jiujiu's explanation, Yan Shi couldn't help but flash a trace of obvious surprise on his face, "Xiao Jiu, how do you know so much?"

Yan felt that since her daughter woke up from a coma, she not only knew how to do business and medical skills, but also knew a lot of things that she couldn't think of.

These are all the knowledge that Gu Jiujiu learned in modern times. Now that Yan asked, Gu Jiujiu couldn't tell her the real reason.

After thinking about it, Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan Shi and said, "Mother, don't you have a lot of books in Xianggong's study room? These are the ones I saw in an ancient book when I was free and bored."

Shen Kuo is a book reader, and Yan knows where he has a lot of books. When Gu Jiujiu said this, Yan didn't doubt it.
