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

Chapter 239 Plague, is there nothing left but waiting to die?

Yao Qingnian first treated An'er with the antibiotics in the space, then opened the door and walked out.

"Girl, how is An'er?"

"It's okay. You stay in the shop and take care of him. I'll go out and take a look. You've been in contact with An'er the longest, and I'm worried that you might be infected. Here's the medicine. If you feel uncomfortable, take it yourself."

Yao Qingnian left some medicine for Yinuo and the others before walking out of the shop. She wanted to tell the county magistrate Zhao Chengfeng and Han Junze the news first.

She didn't want to care about this matter and took Yinuo back to the village directly. She didn't know what the situation was in the village. However, in ancient times when medical drugs were not well developed, if people were not isolated in time, it would inevitably cause large-scale infection. As a doctor, Yao Qingnian decided to tell them the news. As for other things, let's talk about it later!

Yao Qingnian went to Tiancheng Clinic first. The entrance of the clinic was crowded with people and the doctors were busy. Yao Qingnian squeezed in and found Manager Qiu of Tiancheng Clinic.

"Manager, is your boss here?"

"You are?!"

"I'm Yao Qingnian."

"It's Miss Yao. Our boss is not in the county. He went on a long trip a few days ago. You see, the shop is very busy now. I don't know what's going on. All the symptoms are the same. I was just about to report this matter!"

"Boss, this is plague."

"What, plague?! It's over!" The shopkeeper collapsed to the ground. How could he not have thought that this was an epidemic? He had heard of plague, which is contagious and deadly.

"Don't panic. Listen to me. I will isolate all the patients first. I will go find Magistrate Zhao. Send a message to your master and tell him the news."

After Yao Qingnian came out of Tiancheng Medical Clinic, he immediately went to the county magistrate's mansion to find Zhao Chengfeng.

The old lady at home suddenly fell ill. Zhao Chengfeng was in a hurry. The servant came to report that Yao Qingnian wanted to see him. Why did this girl come to see him? Could it be the same thing as last time? It's impossible. It's been so long. After thinking for a while, the county magistrate asked someone to invite her in.

"Sir," Yao Qingnian came in and bowed to him first. He was the county magistrate, so he still had to show proper courtesy.

"Miss Yao, why did you suddenly come here today? Please take a seat."

The county magistrate had tea served and asked Yao Qingnian to sit down. He did not look down on her just because she was a woman. This was also the reason why Yao Qingnian came to him. Zhao Chengfeng was a good official. If he told him about this, he would definitely find a way to deal with it.

"The situation is urgent. I won't drink the tea. Lord Zhao, you should quickly send someone to find a place to isolate the sick people in the city! This time it's not just a common cold, but plague. If no measures are taken, more people will be infected!"

"What! Is this true?" Zhao Chengfeng stood up suddenly.

“Well, it has already started to break out on a large scale.”

Zhao Chengfeng didn't hesitate and immediately called people to go to the city to check the situation.

After Yao Qingnian delivered the message, he planned to take Yinuo back to the village while the city gate was not closed.

Once the city gates were closed, they couldn't go back. Liu Shuyue and the others were in the village, and she didn't know what was going on. She was worried, so she came out of the county magistrate's mansion and immediately took Yinuo and Zhongxia back to the village. Yuanniang and An'er kept the medicine for themselves, so they wouldn't be in danger in the city.

After returning to the village, Yao Qingnian went home first. Fortunately, his house had been disinfected before. Liu Shuyue, Lu Mingchuan and others did not go out much in the past two days. After Hei and the other two checked, there was no problem for the time being.

So she arranged for Zhongxia to stay, asked the people in the family not to step out of the yard, and vaccinated them all. Only then did she feel at ease, at least she didn't have to worry about her family.

Next, Yao Qingnian went to the village chief's house. Communications were not well developed in ancient times, and the village had not received the news yet, but some people had already begun to show symptoms.

"Village chief, I just came back from the city. The plague broke out in the city. I'm worried that people in the village have been infected. Find a place in the village and inform the villagers that if anyone has a high fever and feels unwell, find a place to isolate them."

"Ah! Plague?" The village chief was stunned for a long time before he reacted. It was not his fault. Once an epidemic broke out in ancient times, it would inevitably cause large-scale deaths. Who would not panic!

When the village chief heard the news, he was so anxious that he was sweating. He had finally sent the refugees away and wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days, but then this epidemic happened. God is blind! How can the people live like this? This year is really a bad start.

"Well, it's just the beginning now. Let's isolate the people first and then think of a solution. It will be too late if there is a large-scale outbreak in a couple of days."

Even if Yao Qingnian didn't say it, the village chief knew the seriousness of the matter. He had also experienced a plague when he was a child. At that time, not only were there mountains of corpses in the city, but countless people died of the disease in the village. Those who survived were all lucky. Thinking about it now, he still feels scared!

"I'm going right now!"

"This is for you to distribute to the villagers." Yao Qingnian took out dozens of masks and gave them to the village chief.

"What is this?" Looking at this strange thing, the village chief asked curiously.

"Masks can isolate the plague virus." Yao Qingnian demonstrated how to wear a mask.

The village chief immediately asked people to clean up an empty yard in the village to accommodate the villagers infected with the epidemic. He also asked people to bring lime and asked everyone to sprinkle it everywhere in the village.

Yao Qingnian didn't have a lot of disinfectant in her space, but it was automatically replenished every day. Except for what she used herself, she gave all of it to the villagers.

When people heard that an epidemic had broken out, the villagers were in a panic and the village chief gathered everyone together.

"The plague came suddenly and has not yet broken out on a large scale. We received the news in advance and still have time to respond. For the safety of the village and everyone, if anyone has a fever and feels unwell, please register with me immediately and then be quarantined in the courtyard arranged by the village."

"Isolation? Isn't that just waiting to die?" The villagers became scared when they heard about isolation. They had heard that when plague broke out in the past, in order to prevent the sick from infecting other people, the government gathered everyone in one place, then set it on fire and burned them all to death.

"Yes, even if you are sick you can't go. If you want to die, you would rather die at home." Someone shouted loudly.

"Shut up! Do you want to bury the whole village with you just because some people were infected with the epidemic? Think about your family and children. If you say one more word, one more person may be infected! If you have a high fever and feel uncomfortable, come and register with me and Doctor Lu. If anyone dares to conceal his illness, he will bear the consequences himself!"

"Oh my God! God won't let us live!"

Everyone covered their mouths and noses.

"If it's really the plague, then if you get infected you'll just have to wait for death, wuwu..."
