Nongmenfu girl's daily life

Chapter 839 The Plague
"Boom!"

The thunder shook, and the torrential rain fell.

The land that has been dry for a long time is moistened by rain.

Even though it was already late at night, the people ran out of the house one after another, opened their mouths to the sky, and filled the water given to them by heaven.

Some people cried, their chapped lips tasted the water, they prostrated themselves on the ground excitedly, and knocked their heads on the ground vigorously.

"It's raining, it's finally raining!"

"God, finally opened my eyes!"

"Thank God!"

"Thank you for the gift of God!"

The people were very excited, thinking that the famine would be far away from this, and a better day would not be far away.

But God cruelly made a joke with them.

it's raining...

One day, two days, three days... ten days, half a month, one month...

The majestic torrential rain showed no sign of stopping. The dry river bed had been filled long ago, and now it has overflowed the river bed. The river embankment, which had been sun-dried and cracked due to the drought, could not bear so much water at all, and water spewed out from the cracks. , burst after three months of heavy rain.

The flood spread, flooding the fields, flooding the houses, flooding the towns...

The victims who fled here with their bags on their backs were in a daze. They didn't expect that after the drought, the rain they prayed for would turn into a flood.

They seem to have not yet reacted from the ecstasy they had felt three months ago, and they have not yet fully appreciated God, but they ended up with their wives separated, their families scattered by the flood, and their houses destroyed.

People who drowned in the flood were soaked in the water, and floating corpses could be seen everywhere. The corpses slowly festered, and the water became more turbid. The plankton in the water approached those corpses, and maggots crawled out of the corpses...

For a long time, there was no disaster relief, and this place is located in a border town. The news spread to Beijing, but was stopped by Qi Guogong and did not submit it.

The river water gave off an unpleasant rotten smell, and gray-skinned mice were swimming in the muddy sewage, their eyes gleaming ferociously.

Drought, floods here, people starved to death, and those snakes, insects, rats and ants were almost starved to death.

Groups of rats surrounded the corpse floating in the water, nibbling at the corpse...

The refugees who escaped from here began to cough, and their backs itched uncontrollably. They stretched out their hands to scratch, but their hands were covered with blood and could not stop the itching.

The back was bleeding, and they had no medicine, and the wound soon became inflamed and pus-filled.

Some people have a high fever and become a fool.

When a fool is hungry, he starts to grab it on the street.

The city that originally opened the city gates to allow the refugees to enter also closed the city gates to prevent the refugees from entering, and some people even beat to death those fools who snatched things in the street.

The corpses of the refugees who were beaten to death lay on the streets, and no one went to collect the corpses until the government sent someone to collect the corpses.

Those bodies were placed in the government morgue.

Those corpses decompose faster than others, and the smell is more smoky.

In the government office, a yamen servant started coughing, his back was itchy, and he couldn't help but scratch and bleed.

When they went to the hospital to apply medicine, the doctor lifted the clothes on their backs to reveal the skin on their backs. A stench came over their faces, and their backs were covered with bumps like toads, bleeding and pus. The old doctor for many years couldn't help vomiting.

The yamen servant had a high fever, and when he woke up, his eyes were red, he would bite anyone, his eyes were dull, his tongue was swollen, and he couldn't speak forcefully, like an idiot, with slurred speech.

The doctor controlled people and sent the news to the government.

But before the messenger came back, the official was sent over, and the symptoms were the same as those of the yamen servant.

In cities around the flood, such medical records appeared one after another.

"It's the plague!"

"plague!"

The diagnosis of the doctors came out in the medical hall...
