Chapter 115 Death Village
Dr. Qiu's words were interrupted by Du Wenhao, very displeased, he snorted coldly:
"Do you know that lying about the plague is a felony! The light ones will be dismissed from office, and the serious ones will be beheaded!"

Du Wenhao said angrily: "If the epidemic prevention is not effective, the responsibility is even heavier!"

"Ouch! You little medical officer, how dare you teach me a lesson?"

"My lord! The epidemic is fiercer than a tiger! Once it breaks out, tens of thousands of people will die! The magistrate asked us to rush to Liujiawan to find out if there is really an epidemic, but you are still talking here, really..., you don't want to go I go by my own!"

Du Wenhao flicked his sleeve and robe, turned around and left, anyway, he didn't care about this little medical officer, and he didn't want to be angry with this fat man.

Assistant Professor Tang on the side hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, Doctor Du, don't worry, the decision can only be made after the matter is clarified."

"Then you should figure it out here slowly. I was ordered by the magistrate to go to Liujiawan to investigate immediately, and I will not accompany you!"

Du Wenhao shook off Assistant Professor Tang's hand and rushed out of the medical bureau.

Dr. Qiu was so angry that his beard was shaking, he pointed at the door and shouted, "This..., it's just...!"

Assistant Professor Tang said anxiously to Dr. Qiu: "My lord, let's go together quickly. It was Master Hou who came to give orders just now. Regardless of whether there is really an epidemic or not, we must go and investigate it. It is good to have an explanation."

"Then..., alright!" Dr. Qiu stood up helplessly, and walked out slowly.

Assistant Professor Tang ran out quickly and shouted to Du Wenhao: "Medical Officer Du, wait for us, let's go together!"

Du Wenhao had already got on his horse, turned his head and said, "Okay, take your medicine and wait for me at the west city gate. I'll go back and get some things first." Pulling the reins, he galloped out of the Yamen.

Although this is the first time for Du Wenhao to ride a horse alone, the last time he rode with Pang Yuqin, he already knew how to handle it. In addition, the official horses in the yamen are all well-trained and easy to handle. Hall entrance.

Handing over the horse to Fatty, he hurried into the lobby, and heard from Wu Cong that many critically ill patients had arrived, and like those before, they were all transferred to the isolation ward according to Du Wenhao's request.

Du Wenhao hurried to the isolation area, and was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the door. There were seven or eight simple stretchers made of door panels on the floor of the isolation area, and the patients lying on them were all patients transferred from other pharmacies in the county led by Hantou.Upon examination, all the symptoms were the same, severe pain all over the body, cyanosis of the skin, high fever and cough, bloody sputum.

Hantou and Pang Yuqin and Xue Feier are busy treating patients.The young woman Du Wenhao rescued earlier, as well as her husband and child, were all in stable condition after taking the medicine.

As for the newly transferred patients, some of them showed no signs of further deterioration after taking the medicine, while most of the patients, especially the critically ill patients, did not improve significantly after taking the medicine, and their condition continued to deteriorate, and two of them died.

Du Wenhao's heart is very heavy. From the perspective of TCM syndrome differentiation, different stages of pneumonic plague will have different symptoms. The decoction he used before is only effective for some patients with the right syndrome. Therefore, in order to improve the cure rate, each patient must be treated personally. Diagnosis, syndrome differentiation and treatment.

However, once the disease breaks out, it will spread across a large area. There are thousands of patients, and I simply cannot afford to see each one in person.Moreover, pneumonic plague usually takes no more than three days from the onset of illness to death, and it is too late to diagnose and treat each one.

what to do?It was the first time for Du Wenhao to experience such a thing, and his hair stood on end with nervousness.

At this time, the first batch of isolation suits and gas masks ordered by Lin Qingdai had been urgently prepared and delivered.Du Wenhao was overjoyed, and asked Hantou and the others to put on the gas masks immediately before treating them, and briefly explained the use and purpose of the gas masks.Hantou and the others are now obeying Du Wenhao's words, dressing up as required, and then continuing to treat him.

Du Wenhao asked Lin Qingdai to organize people to transfer the corpse to the basement mortuary, and then use disinfectant to strictly disinfect the isolation area.And told them that he was going to Liujiawan to investigate the epidemic in order to report to the court.

Pang Yuqin became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Du, I'll go with you!"

"What are you going to do? You can't deal with this disease yet!"

"No! I..., I want to go with you...!" Pang Yuqin held Du Wenhao tightly, for fear that he would not let her go. She didn't know what to say, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Du Wenhao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Pang Yuqin wiped away tears and nodded.

Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin put on their gas masks, took a few more sets and wrapped them in cloth towels and put them on their backs. They took Pang Yuqin out, let Pang Yuqin get on the horse first, and sat in the back by themselves. The horse galloped to Xicheng.

Butou Lei is already leading the police to investigate the people entering and leaving. Dr. Qiu and others are also waiting at the door. When they saw Du Wenhao coming, they said with an unhappy face: "You said it was urgent, and you took a long time to do it. What?"

Du Wenhao said in a deep voice: "My lord, we have sent some new patients from Wuweitang. The symptoms are the same, very similar to plague. Two people have died! The rest are also very serious! I am worried that an outbreak may soon occur in the city. In the face of the epidemic, the two adults need to leave one in command, and there is no need to go to Liujiawan."

When Dr. Qiu heard it, his face changed a little: "Are you telling the truth?"

"My lord, it's best to stay in town, and go to my Wuweitang to check it and know if it's true or not."

"That's good!" Dr. Qiu just borrowed the donkey from the slope, and said to Assistant Professor Tang: "You take Hong Guoliang to Liujiawan with him, Wang Xiang, you follow me to Wuweitang to check the situation."

Du Wenhao told Lei Butou that he sent someone to Wuweitang to put on the custom-made isolation suits and gas masks. Lei Butou learned that Du Wenhao and the others were going to Liujiawan, and brought a horse to Pang Yuqin. Otherwise, the distance of thirty miles is still not close, and two people riding a horse back and forth may not be able to bear the horse.

Pang Yuqin thanked him, changed horses, followed and took Pang Yuqin, assistant teacher Tang, Hong Guoliang and galloped out of the city gate.

Along the way, from time to time, I met people fleeing with their families. After asking, I learned that they came from different villages. Many people in those villages died of illness, including those in Liujiawan.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, this kind of thing can't be told by hearsay, if it's rumored, it's not a joke.Several people continued to gallop forward.

As we approached Liujiawan, we could already see dead bodies lying on the roadside in twos and threes. Their bodies were purple and black, and their death conditions were horrific.Pang Yuqin was too scared to look at it.

Liujiawan is next to a small river. Looking from a distance, it is a pleasant place. The heavy snow that fell two days ago has mostly melted, and the road is muddy.They whipped their horses and whipped their horses, galloped all the way, and finally came to Liujiawan.

At the entrance of the village, some cattle and sheep were grazing with their heads down, but they couldn’t see the shepherd boy. Looking at the village from a distance, it was lifeless, and there was no smoke from the cooking. The four of them glanced at each other, and their hearts sank.

Du Wenhao said: "Everyone, quickly put on isolation suits and gas masks. Don't take them off. This is to prevent evil poisons!"

Several people imitated Du Wenhao's appearance and put on isolation suits and gas masks. Du Wenhao explained the precautions for use, and then several people got on their horses and ran to the village again.

As soon as she entered the village, Pang Yuqin yelled in surprise, startling everyone, and saw Pang Yuqin pointing to the door of a room: "There..., there seems to be a person falling down there!"

Du Wenhao looked in the direction of Pang Yuqin's finger, and saw a person lying on his stomach at the gate of the courtyard at the entrance of the village. His posture was very strange. From the stiff and twisted posture, Du Wenhao could judge that this person should have died.

Everyone galloped past and came to the gate of the yard, only to see an old man lying on his stomach. Du Wenhao flew off his horse, walked over, and turned him over carefully. Already stiff.

Du Wenhao got up and glanced at the yard, and found that there was another person lying there, a white-haired old lady, and hurried in to check, only to find that he was also dead.
Du Wenhao came out and walked to the street of the village, shouting loudly: "Is there anyone?"

His voice came out empty, and no answer was heard.

The others also shouted loudly, but there was still no response.

Du Wenhao said: "Everyone search separately to see if there are any living people! Then gather here! Pay attention to safety, never take off the isolation suit and gas mask, and don't touch the corpse with your hands!"

Assistant Professor Tang and Hong Guoliang searched the left and right sides, and Du Wenhao took Pang Yuqin to search the middle.

After walking a few steps, several dead bodies were found on the side of the road, all purple and black.The two of them rode forward all the way, shouting all the way, until they reached the other side of the village, except for the dead corpses on the side of the road, they didn't hear a living person's answer.

The two got off their horses and began to search from house to house. When they opened the door, they saw dead bodies lying in the room, on the bed, on the ground, by the door, or in the yard, including men, women, and children.

There are hundreds of corpses found by the two of them alone.Many houses were turned into a mess, and some valuable things were gone.Du Wenhao's heart sank, which meant that the survivors in the village had fled the village in panic!In this way, the epidemic will spread further!
Now there is no way to report to Zhuangzhi County and the others. Du Wenhao took Pang Yuqin to continue searching for survivors.

In a courtyard full of dead people, Du Wenhao discovered that Pu Shan, the aplastic anemia patient from Sankeliu, his father, Old Man Pu, and two children, were all dead.

Du Wenhao's heart was very heavy. Unexpectedly, he was trying to cure his aplastic anemia, but he died of pneumonic plague first.

Then I searched for survivors, and finally, in a yard, I found a young man leaning against the corner of the wall, looking at the door absently, still panting heavily.

Du Wenhao ran over quickly, knelt down and asked, "This big brother? We are the medical officers of the county government. What happened in the village?"

"Dead..., cough, cough..., they all died of illness... In less than two days, all the people in a village died, cough, cough... the rest..., they all ran away...cough ahem"

"Do you know that there is another village nearby that has this disease?"

"I don't know... cough, cough, chest... hurts..."

Having said that, the man staggered and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Seeing that he was about to faint, Du Wenhao hurriedly took out the golden needle from the outpatient box to treat him, but just as he took out the golden needle, dark red blood gushed out of the man's mouth, he rolled his eyes, and gradually became soft On the ground, it does not move.
