Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 241: Outbreak, Return to My Mother's Home

Walking out of the yard, I saw no one coming and going on the road. The village was like an empty city, unusually quiet. Under the isolation of the village chief, Yao Qingnian and others, the epidemic prevention work in Taoxi Village was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yao Qingnian went into the city first, but the city gate had been sealed and people could only go out but not in. The situation was much more serious than she had thought. Many people infected with the epidemic were crying out in pain at the city gate.

She hurried to Yaojia Village. The situation in Yaojia Village was terrible. There was no doctor and it was in chaos. She went straight home.

"Mom, how are you guys?"

"Girl, why are you back! Don't come over here. A plague has broken out. Two-thirds of the people in our village have been infected. There is no medicine. Everyone can only wait to die. Go back quickly! Cough cough..." Lin Qiaofeng suddenly started coughing violently.

"I'm fine, don't worry, where are my dad and the others?"

"They're all in the house."

"I gonna go see."

When Yao Qingnian entered the room, she saw Yao Yongping lying weakly on the bed. She measured his temperature, which was 39 degrees, and hurriedly took out the antipyretic medicine and gave it to him first.

Then I went next door to treat a few children. Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise such a big family would not have survived for a few days.

"Sister, why are you back?" Yao Dongdong was inexplicably happy to see Yao Qingnian coming back. He felt that he was saved.

"Well, I came back to see you guys, don't talk for now. I'll give you the medicine first."

"No, no, this is an epidemic. It can kill people. You should leave quickly! Don't worry about us!" He had earned a lot of money by collecting beans and was full of hope for life. But who would have thought that after the New Year, it snowed and the city was closed. After the weather was finally warm and the flowers were blooming, it was hit by the plague again. Alas, he was not destined to have this. He had done many wrong things in the past, but his sister not only did not care, but was also willing to help him. He couldn't be so heartless and bring her into danger.

Yao Dongdong has become much more mature and stable in the past few months, and he also knows how to think about her.

"Take the medicine." Yao Qingnian prepared the medicine and asked Lin Qiaofeng to help feed it to the children and Guo. She herself was also infected, but she was holding on.

"Sister, I heard from others that many people have died of the disease. I am ready to wait for death at home. I asked mother to kill all the chickens in the house in the next two days. I would rather die of starvation." After taking the medicine, Guo felt better, but she was still very depressed. They were afraid that they would die if they were infected with the plague. Poor two children.

"You won't die." Yao Qingnian looked at the silly woman Guo. Even at this time, she was still thinking about eating. She had a really good attitude.

"Huh? I can't die."

"Well, don't worry, I'm here! Just take a good rest and take the medicine on time and you'll be fine." After they all took the medicine, Yao Qingnian took out the disinfectant and disinfected the entire yard inside and out. Then he stayed in the yard to rest and went back after they were a little more stable.

It's not that Yao Qingnian is heartless and doesn't want to help others. She has a limited supply of medicine, only enough for a dozen people a day at most. If she wants to save people, she has to develop a prescription to treat the epidemic as soon as possible. She doesn't have time to meddle in other people's business now and just wants to take care of herself and her family.

I don't know what happened to Lu Huaijin, and whether he has been sent back...

Beijing.

The situation outside is very bad now. Thousands of people have fallen down. All the major counties have closed their gates. The emperor has ordered that people are not allowed to migrate north, so the epidemic is concentrated in the south on a large scale, and the emperor is anxiously running around in the hall.

"What good ideas do you have, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, you must not abandon the millions of disaster victims, and you must not stop them from heading north. If you arouse public anger and the people rise up in rebellion, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to open the granaries to release grain, allocate funds for disaster relief, set up quarantine centers, send doctors to treat the people, and ask the Imperial Hospital to speed up the development of a prescription for the epidemic. Once the prescription is out, the good medicine will be widely used to save the people from the disaster."

Emperor Cang Ling was furious: "You are opening the granaries again. Do you think the treasury is inexhaustible? The war has just ended and the treasury is empty. Not long ago, there was a snowstorm and I just opened the granaries to release grain and allocate funds. Now you are opening again. What should I use? What should I use if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack? What will the soldiers eat?"

Compared with the victims, the emperor certainly cares more about the country's territory. It's not that he doesn't want to, but because of the continuous incidents, the national treasury really can't take out much silver.

Seeing that the emperor refused to withdraw his order, the ministers knelt outside the hall for several days and nights. Finally, His Majesty had no choice but to throw the mess to King Jing. He appointed the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple as the imperial envoy to assist in disaster relief, and sent a message to Han Junze, asking him to find a way to save the people.

As for Yao Qingnian, after staying in Yaojia Village for a day and finding that everyone in his family was stable, he left the medicine and decided to return to the village.

The chief of Yaojia Village sat dejectedly at the entrance of the village, his hair was messy, he looked extremely depressed, and was sighing.

The villagers fell one after another, but he, the village chief, was powerless. At first, they thought it was just a common cold, but more and more people had high fevers and vomited black blood. He realized that the situation was not good. Sure enough, he received news that an epidemic had broken out and two-thirds of the people in their village had been infected, and they fell into panic.

Some of the elderly people were convulsing all over and vomiting black blood. They died within half a day. The whole village is now filled with smoke and foul smells.

Yao Qingnian felt a little reluctant looking at his back. As far as he could remember, according to seniority, the original owner should have called the village chief Yao Zhitao "uncle".

"Uncle." Yao Qingnian stepped forward.

"Qing Nian girl, why are you back? Everything is a mess now. Why did you come out? Go back now!"

"I came here to see my parents and they are ready to go back now."

"How are your parents?" There were too many sick people in the village, and he couldn't take care of them all. He could only try his best to find medicine. Now he couldn't go into the city, and there was not even a doctor in the village.

"They are fine."

"Well, you should go back quickly! If you don't leave now, you might get infected." He hunched over, asked Yao Qingnian to leave quickly, and then walked towards the village.

Watching his receding back, Yao Qingnian decided to go back and develop a prescription for the epidemic, if only he could save one.

After returning to the village, she first went to the isolated yard to visit Goudan and the others.

The villagers who had used Yao Qingnian's medicine had their fevers go down, but the symptoms had not been significantly alleviated. This is what viruses are like, they come on quickly and the treatment process is long, but reducing the fever is also a good start. It usually takes a process. At first there may only be slight discomfort, and then a high fever will start, and symptoms such as repeated high fever, cough, and chills will begin to appear. If not treated in time, the condition will worsen, and the elderly and weak often cannot survive this and die.
