From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 72
It is actually not easy to enter the quarantined Liujia Town, because there are still heavy guards outside Liujia Town, and there are heavily armed teams in all directions.

These teams didn't just prevent the sick from escaping from the town and causing the plague to spread.It is also to prevent people from outside from entering the town and wanting to use the plague to cause trouble.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for military strategists to be defeated by plagues. Thinking about the defeat of Cao Cao in Chibi, this plague also took a lot of credit.Therefore, the local warlords are also afraid that such a thing will happen, so they have taken the measure of heavily guarding and isolating.

Henry Zhang didn’t go in through the checkpoint, but sneaked into Liujia Town by himself. He came to treat the disease and absorb the disease to let A Bao advance. He didn’t want to waste time negotiating with the warlords, let alone these people. Henry Zhang is so young, [-]% would not believe him.

Sneaking into Liujia Town, the streets were not bustling with family members, only sporadic people were sitting or lying on the streets.There was a faint rancid smell in the air, not only the dirty smell that had not been cleaned up for a long time, but also the faint smell of corpses.

Henry Zhang sighed, Liujia Town was like a dead city under the plague.Liujia Town is used as a place for forced isolation, and the patients are locked here together with their relatives and friends. It seems that there are many people, but under the threat of the plague, all of them hide in their own households. Those who stay on the street, Only those who are already sick, or who have lost hope of life.

It really corresponds to the verse in "Dead Rat Walk":
"The rat is dead in the east, and the rat is dead in the west. People see a dead rat like a tiger; a rat will die within a few days, and a person will die like a blockade.

Dead people in the daytime, don't ask the number, the sun is bleak and cloudy.The three of them hadn't taken more than ten steps when they suddenly died and the two of them cut across the road. "

This is the situation in Liujia Town, no one knows when this pedestrian on the street will faint and die.

Henry Zhang was thinking about how to find a place to stay and then see a doctor to absorb the sickness, when he found a group of people on the side of the road ahead, about 10 people, all wearing masks made of white cloth strips.

The leader was a middle-aged man. He couldn't see the specific appearance clearly with a mask on, but his exposed eyes were a little tired and vicissitudes.He squatted down, put his hands on the neck of an old man who had fallen by the roadside, shook his head behind him, and sighed: "Take it away and put it in the old place."

The old man couldn't stand the plague and had already gone, so it seems that this group of people should be the ones who dealt with the bodies that died of the plague in Liu's town.

From the other side of the street to Henry Zhang, they carried away a total of four corpses, leaving only the leading man and the young man on the side of the team.

Maybe it was too busy, at this time the man noticed that Henry Zhang was standing on the road, and his clothes were incompatible with this Liujia Town.The small tunic suitcase looks like a student no matter what, full of vigor and not lifeless like other people on the road.

He stepped forward and asked, "Young man, were you arrested?"

It is not unreasonable for him to ask this question, because whenever a relative is sick, people who live in the same room will be arrested and isolated. Seeing Henry Zhang today seems to be fine, so I asked this question.

Henry Zhang shook his head and said, “No, I’m here to treat the plague.”

The leading man took a deep look at Henry Zhang. This is really an old-fashioned and warm-hearted student. After studying Western medicine, he wanted to cure diseases and save people, but the man sighed and said: "Young man, go back, maybe those soldiers will let you If you go out, people will die here."

He only thought that Henry Zhang was kind, and wanted to save people after learning medical skills, and came here through the guarding soldiers.

Henry Zhang knew that he did not believe that he could deal with the plague, and he was not annoyed by his tone. Instead, he said, "Will you know if you can try it on the young man next to you?"

As soon as Henry Zhang’s words fell, the leading man turned his head to look at the young man, and blurted out: “Xiao Wu, you.”

He subconsciously took a step back, and looked at the young man suspiciously.It's just that Xiao Wu's words at the next moment dispelled his doubts.

"I thought I just caught a cold last night and had a fever, not the plague." Xiao Wu's voice was panicked, and the plague was their greatest fear.

Henry Zhangdao: "There will be no such bruises if you have a cold and a fever."

Henry Zhang’s eyes fell on Xiao Wu’s arm, and little purple bruises appeared on the inside of the forearm.

The leading man had seen such bruises on countless corpses that had died from the plague.

There was a look of sadness in his eyes, the plague could not be cured here.

Seeing that they all ignored him, Henry Zhang couldn’t help but feel a little funny. He obviously said that he could save him, but the two of them didn’t believe it.

He didn't say much, he summoned A'Bao's sub-gu white blood leech, many people were infected with the disease, this time he came here to treat the disease, if only A'Bao was alone, I'm afraid it would be exhausted.Therefore, it can only rely on Zigu to absorb the sickness in a large area, and only when it is really serious will Abao take action.

Henry Zhang grabbed Xiao Wu's hand, pulled it over, and then the white blood leech attached to it, bit his arm with his mouthparts, and began to suck blood and sickness.

"what are you doing?"

Seeing Henry Zhang throwing a strange bug in Xiao Wu's hand, the leading man asked nervously.

Henry Zhangdao: “Don’t worry, look at his bruises.”

The bruises on Xiao Wu's arm faded visibly with the naked eye.He himself also felt the powerlessness in his body gradually receding, and said pleasantly: "Brother Zhao, I... I seem to be recovering."

The leading man turned his head to look at Henry Zhang, his eyes were no longer sad, but a kind of surprise, he hurriedly said: "Sir, this..."

A sir, is an acknowledgment and a hope he feels.

Henry Zhangdao: "Just call me Henry Zhang. Xiao Wu is still a little sick, so he will see immediate results. Others are not so simple."

The leading man surnamed Zhao didn't seem to hear it, but kept saying, "It's good to be saved, it's good to be saved."

Then he came back to his senses and said: "Mr. Zhang, I lost my temper. This time Liu Jiazhen is finally saved. Thank you, thank you."

He remembered that Henry Zhang seemed to have just arrived in Liujia Town, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you just came to Liujia Town and haven't found a place to live. Come and live with us first. Our place is very clean."

After showing his ability to cure the plague, the enthusiasm of the leading man surnamed Zhao made Henry Zhang difficult to resist.

On the way to their residence, Henry Zhang figured out what this team of people was doing.

They were all imprisoned because their relatives and friends were infected with the plague.It's just that they are different from most people who have not been infected. They are not desperate, and they don't naively think that the garrison will let them out.

They accepted the reality, and then took on the job of caring for the sick and collecting the dead.They don't have a doctor, and all they can do is distribute the supplies regularly brought in from outside to the patients, and then collect the corpses for the patients.

Every corpse is a source of poison, keeping them will only pose countless threats to them, and they can only be safe if they are buried.

Even so, each of them is also struggling with pessimism, because they don't know that one day, they will also get sick.

Perhaps for them, the only hope is that when all the sick people die, the plague will be over.

But when Henry Zhang came here, new hope began to take root.

The man surnamed Zhao was called Zhao An. He was imprisoned together because his younger sister was infected with the plague, but his younger sister had died a few days ago.

Xiao Wu secretly told Henry Zhang about him, and it is hard to imagine that he can still lead such a team with strong spirit.

Henry Zhang settled down in the yard arranged by Zhao An. The yard was not too big or too small. It was a businessman’s house before the quarantine, but now he was infected with the plague and his family whined.

The patients lived alone in their own houses, and if they wanted to be treated, they had to wait for Zhao An to inform the patients to gather together the next day.

Henry Zhang looked at the sky, summoned A Bao, and said: "A Bao, release the green mosquitoes to inhale the sickness of the patient, if you can inhale a little, you have to advance quickly."

There was a buzzing sound, and the mosquito swarm flew out of the yard like black clouds, scattered around, and headed towards the patient.

The blue mosquito flies slowly, and the sickness it can bear is not much, but it is better than nothing.

　Thank you book friend Jijiu for your reward, and I wish every book friend a happy new year, good health and all the best.
