Traveling through a doctor's daughter to marry a virtuous man

Chapter 683 The Plague
He Chunmei was a bit reluctant at first, but when she heard about the smallpox, she was so frightened that she quickly threw the dry rations in her hand, and hurriedly asked the groom to stop, and found someone to tell the story to the people in front of her, suspecting that the dry rations had been touched. Don't eat them all.

Lu Ziwan was a doctor, and the Bai family had no doubts in her medical skills. The Bai family would definitely believe what she said. With one order, all the dirty dry food was discarded, and the carriage continued on its way.

However, everyone did not expect that when they arrived at the small village where they temporarily stopped for the night, what awaited them was another scene.

The entrance of the village was tightly surrounded by a high wooden fence, and outside there were officers and soldiers standing there with knives standing guard all the time. Inside the fence, the trapped people kept trying to climb the fence to escape, but As soon as the officers and soldiers with knives saw someone afraid of the fence, they would immediately scare the people with their knives.

Seeing the carriage from the outer village parked at the entrance of the village, an officer and soldier immediately stepped forward to inquire. The people who came down from the capital directly took out the token of the princess to show their identity.

The carriage had already stopped, and Lu Ziwan and the others got out of the carriage to breathe, because they were parked at the rear, and they didn't know what was going on ahead that made the carriage stop, and since they went forward, they went to join the Bai family members.

"Master Bai, what's the matter with these people? Why are they locked up in the village and not allowed to leave?" Lu Ziwan was puzzled, looking at the eyes of those people, her heart was touched.

Everyone hovering around the edge of the fence looked terrified. In the twilight, at a glance, the road at the entrance of the village was crowded with people, some were sitting, some were standing, and some were lying on their backs. One, however, has the same eyes, indifferent, indifferent without hope, eyes lifeless, like a marionette.

"The plague was also discovered in this village today. Dozens of people have died. It is more serious than the place we knew before. In order to prevent these people from escaping from the village and infecting others, the county magistrate had to order people to stop them. They are not allowed to leave." Master Bai replied.

"This plague is very frightening. Those who died of the plague all died in a horrifying manner and their bodies turned black. Everyone, since you are going to the capital, you should leave this place as soon as possible." The officer continued.

"I don't think those people inside look sick? If you lock up the whole village like this, some people are sick, some people are not sick, and all of them are locked up. Isn't that going to make everyone sick? " Lu Ziwan asked.

"Then there is no way? We don't know who is infected or not. If someone with the disease accidentally escapes, won't it harm more people?" The officers and soldiers were extremely helpless, "People in this village are also Quite a few, there are also five or six hundred people, but, there is no way, whoever makes people unlucky, let alone a severe drought, and also encountered a plague, hey."

"By the way, you just said that people suffering from the plague will turn black all over after death?" Lu Ziwan paused, "Does the person suffering from the plague have cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, sputum, foamy or bright red bloody sputum? "

"Yes! Yes! That's about it!" The officer and soldier nodded repeatedly.

"It seems to be the plague, commonly known as the Black Death." Lu Ziwan remembered that the plague had a destructive infection in history. In the history of the world, the plague had three major epidemics, with tens of millions of deaths. European countries with slightly more advanced technology were helpless for a while.

"Plague? Black Death?" The people next to him were very unfamiliar with this term.

Lu Ziwan nodded, "It's not a solution for you to lock them up like this. Even if all these people die here, what then? The plague is very contagious. After people die, the germs can still hide on animals and in the soil .”

"The magistrate of the county said that the only thing we can do is set fire to this village." The officers and soldiers shook their heads and sighed. They didn't understand the germs that Lu Ziwan said, but they understood what she meant, Even if the person dies, the disease will not disappear.
