Chapter 99 See the disease in person
After stepping into this house, everyone could smell the smell of burning Cangzhu, and some servants even dipped Tusu wine with the branches, and then sprinkled it in the air.

Fortunately, everyone covered their mouths and noses, so the smell was not so pungent, and after a long time, they soon got used to the smell.

Everyone worked hard all the way, and slept in the open air. Tonight was the most comfortable sleep in the past ten days.

Shen Yu lay down to rest after eating that night, only Yan Yunxiao and Su Jiu'er's bedrooms were lit with a light.

At present, Tongzhou is considered to be completely closed, and it can only enter and exit.The three supply sites on the edge of Tongzhou are neighboring counties in the west, Xiayang City in the north, and Shunzhou in the east.

To the south of Tongzhou are mountains stretching for tens of miles.

The three material stations are only hoarding materials supported from all directions, and then the officials involved in this work take over the tasks here for turnover, and then transport the materials into Tongzhou in batches in an orderly manner.

The city of Tongzhou was closed quite early, so it hasn't had much impact on the surrounding cities and states. There are only one or two suspected infected people in neighboring counties, and they were isolated by Dai Yi just two days ago.

After Su Jiuer inquired about the situation with the servants in the mansion, she asked them about their symptoms in detail.

The servant girl faltered and said, "Please atone for your sins. This servant doesn't know. After all, no one dares to see it with their own eyes. I only heard that spots started to appear on my body, like a dead person."

Su Jiu'er was silent for a moment.

Even if it is a dead person, it will not start to grow spots until it is placed at a normal temperature for at least three days.

Plague is a miasma virus that spreads very quickly. The most common symptom is fever, because the immune system in the body will become very active when threatened by the virus, the white blood cell count will increase, and at the same time, it will produce a defensive response to the pathogen.

Xu is more or less a reaction to an occupational disease, and she really wants to observe the symptoms of this infected person.

Although they have been exhausted so far, they have worked so hard to get here, isn't it just to solve this matter, now that they have arrived, Su Jiu'er is even more impatient.

She said to the little maid, "Do you know where those two people are placed? Take me to meet them?"

When the servant girl heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and her exposed eyes were a little shocked and a little frightened.

"The slaves dare not disobey the nobleman's words, but this disease is really serious, I'm afraid."

I'm afraid it will be stained on the nobleman, and I'm afraid it will be stained on herself.

Su Jiu'er knew what she was afraid of, so she said, "Just tell me where it is, and I'll go by myself without you accompanying me."

For this noble person from the palace, the little maid has been told countless times by the county magistrate. If something goes wrong, a hundred heads are not enough to chop her off.

So she still resisted her nervousness and brought Su Jiu'er to a quiet street.

The street was pitch black except for a dim yellow lantern lit in front of a small gate.

"Did you see the two guards at the front door? It's there."

She stretched out her hand and pointed forward, but she didn't dare to take another half step forward.

Su Jiu'er thanked her, and told the little girl to go back by herself, and walked towards the two gate guards.

Before Su Jiu'er approached, the two guards covered their noses and mouths and shouted, "Who is it, go away, go away! Is wandering around here a fatality?"

As he said that, he came forward to drive Su Jiu'er away.

Su Jiuer hurriedly said, "You two brothers have worked hard, I came from the palace today, and I want to check the patient's symptoms!"

The two younger brothers looked at Su Jiu'er suspiciously. Although they felt that it was strange for a woman to come to such a place in the middle of the night to see a patient, but there was indeed someone coming to the palace this evening, and they did not dare to deny it outright, for fear of collision. The nobles in the palace.

The two of them looked at each other again, as if they felt that the people who came here had no good intentions, normal people would have no time to hide, and there was nothing they could do because they were selected to work here.

Another person asked, "Are you an imperial physician from the palace? Are there any female imperial physicians in the palace?"

Vigilance is still relatively high.

Su Jiu'er touched her body, only now did she realize that in the ancient times where the hierarchy was strict, without a good identity, it would be inconvenient to do things. She should ask Yan Yunxiao for a token, the kind that seeing a token is like seeing a monarch.

The next time I ask him for one, I just don’t know if he is willing to give it.

She observed the half of the little brother's face exposed outside, and answered the wrong question, "Brother, your forehead is blue, your eyes are dark, and your voice is a little lacking. You must have stayed here for a few nights?"

"This is not possible. Tomorrow, I will report to Mr. Dai to take over for the two of you."

It is true that no one is willing to take over this job. Mr. Dai is also out of consideration. Frequent replacements will also increase the risk of infection, so the two brothers have been staying here for six nights.

Although someone will replace them during the day, it is very uncomfortable for six consecutive nights.

They were obviously surprised, and then they kindly reminded Su Jiuer, "The two patients here were visited by doctors two days ago, and the medicines were delivered for two consecutive days but there was no improvement. The two doctors are out of luck." .”

"It's been six days. I heard that the sick people in Tongzhou can't survive twelve days. I think these two are also on the verge of death."

"Go in, don't stay too long."

Su Jiu'er thanked her and ran in quickly.

It is an ordinary private house. Two patients live in the east and west rooms respectively. One is a 40-year-old shopkeeper and the other is a 12-year-old boy.

The father and son came to the neighboring county here from Tongzhou to sell goods.

She first pushed away a simple room on the east side. There was only a simple table and a small bed board in it. The room was very dark, and Su Jiuer could only see a vague outline.

He took out the torch that he had prepared earlier and lit the candle on the table, and then he saw the person lying on the bed clearly by the dancing candlelight.

Su Jiu'er's scalp went numb from fright for a moment.

There was only a simple mattress on the bed. The middle-aged man was lying on the bed, and then raised his head to look at Su Jiu'er who came in.

I don't know if he was so thin in the first place, or because he has been sick for the past few days, his body has become so thin that he is almost skinny.

Because he also covered his nose and mouth, Su Jiu'er's eyes focused on his eyes.

The eyes looking at Su Jiu'er were deeply sunken, and at first glance they looked like empty black holes. Because of his thinness, his cheekbones felt extraordinarily protruding, and he looked a little vicious. .

Su Jiu'er calmed down, only to realize that his eyes were very dim and dazed, and there was a feeling of being exhausted.

When she stepped forward, she saw clearly that there were some small gray spots on his forehead, neck, and wrists, which were different from dead spots.

She said, "Don't be afraid, I'll see how your illness is going. Can you still talk now?"

The man seemed to have regained consciousness just now, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please go and see my son."
