From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 65 The Plague
Henry Zhang followed the old man all the way to the ancestral hall, except for a few people who took care of him around the old man, none of the other townspeople followed.

And this means that the further you go to the ancestral hall, the fewer people there are. In the past, there were more or less ancestral halls in this town, and people would come to this ancestral hall to worship during festivals or family events.But today it is indeed empty and there is no one there, not even a fluttering bird can be seen on the road.

Henry Zhang asked: "Old Li, what happened in the town these days? And who is the epidemic person you are talking about?"

The old man who took Henry Zhang to the ancestral hall was the clan elder of Renjia Town, and they were also those with the highest seniority, and they were considered to be highly respected.Although Henry Zhang is not a native of Renjia Town, he was called Mr. Li out of courtesy.

Mr. Li sighed and said: "It's not because of the refugees who escaped. There was a plague in Xishan Province, and these plagued people escaped from there somehow. They vomited blood and had a fever as soon as they entered Renjia Town. If it weren't for us There are a lot of people doing business in Renjia Town, and they are well-informed when they come and go and know that there is a plague in Xishan, so they don't treat them as ordinary illnesses, otherwise Renjia Town will be over."

This is also a coincidence, if it weren't for the good news, it would be too late when Ren Jiazhen realized that it was the plague.

Even so, when the people of Renjia Town locked these fleeing people into the ancestral hall and isolated them, several local people also fell ill, so they had no choice but to isolate them together.

In this era, the folk customs are not only civilized, but also superstitious about ghosts and gods. Although being locked up in the ancestral hall is for isolation, there is also the meaning of praying for the ancestors to show their spirits.

Only then did Henry Zhang understand it, nodded and said: "So that's the case, where is my uncle?"

Mr. Li nodded his head and said, "These days, it's all up to Master Lin to see a doctor and take medicine to hang those people's lives. It's just going on like this, and we can't support it. Fortunately, you are back, Doctor Zhang, otherwise we can only go to the hospital. Longshan Town is looking for you."

Uncle Jiu knows both Taoism and Qihuang technique, but the high strength of Taoism does not mean that his Qihuang technique is also invincible. To deal with such a disease, Uncle Jiu is also somewhat powerless.

On the contrary, it was the sickness Gu that Henry Zhang raised because of it, the source of the sickness of the disease, but the tonic of the sickness, and it was handy to cure the disease.This is why the elders in Renjia Town are eager to find Henry Zhang.

Henry Zhang has accumulated a lot of reputation in Renjia Town by virtue of this hand sickness Gu to cure diseases. This is related to the epidemic. Everyone thought of Henry Zhang from the beginning.

When we got outside the ancestral hall, we saw guardrails and checkpoints erected by the security team from a long distance away, and the gate was tightly closed by a big lock.

The security guards stationed there were also well-clothed, with gloves, masks and hats. Except for a little bit of eyes, nothing else was exposed.

There is a simple hut outside the ancestral hall. In the hut, Uncle Jiu is busy decocting medicine. Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng are both wearing masks and are busy helping Uncle Jiu.

Henry Zhang entered the shed, and greeted Uncle Jiu first: "Uncle Master, I'm back."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Henry Zhang, with a happy expression on his face, and said, "Ah Xuan, are you done with the matter?"

Henry Zhang nodded to indicate that the matter of the blood-devouring locust had been dealt with, and then asked: "How is the situation of Master Uncle now?"

Speaking of the epidemic, Uncle Jiu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's not easy."

Although Uncle Jiu controlled the spread of the epidemic in time, the disease was not curable. Although the plague has only one name, according to later generations, it is divided into bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague. The fleeing people may not have only one kind of disease, and it is really difficult to cure.

After hearing this, Henry Zhang said, "Uncle Master, I will go in and treat them first, and I will talk about the follow-up."

Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "I'll go in with you."

The two took the key, opened the gate of the ancestral hall, and walked in.In fact, only Uncle Jiu dared to go in these few days, even Qiu Sheng and Uncle Wencai were not allowed to follow, they only practiced Qi cultivation, but they couldn't stop the epidemic.

Entering the door, the scene in the ancestral hall came into Henry Zhang’s eyes.

At the entrance, there are more than a dozen patients sitting or lying on mats in the ancestral hall, both men and women, all looking helpless.

The coughing sounds were endless, and some coughed as if they wanted to cough up the lungs, and a lot of blood was coughed up.

Some were lying on the ground, howling incessantly, purple bruises appeared on their skin, and what's more, the wounds festered and pus, and the stench spread here.

In the past few days, this group of patients has been eating, drinking and lazing here. Although there are a few large wooden barrels brought in by outsiders as the excretion place, no one dares to come in and clean it up. Naturally, the hygienic conditions are poor.

Uncle Jiu didn't mind being dirty, so he squatted down and showed an old man his condition. The old man was seriously ill, so he could only murmur, "Thank you, Master Lin."

Uncle Jiu lost some spiritual power to him to make him feel better, then stood up and said to Henry Zhang: "Ah Xuan, can your sickness gu swallow up the sickness of this epidemic?"

Uncle Jiu asked this question, the real number is normal.With sickness and sickness, the strong live and the weak die. This plague is so severe that Uncle Jiu doesn’t know if Henry Zhang’s sickness can swallow so much sickness.

Henry Zhangdao: "Abao is about to advance, and this sickness is useful to him, but this sickness can be eliminated, but the damage left by it is difficult to make up."

Uncle Jiu naturally understood Henry Zhang’s words. Swallowing your illness is just swallowing the source of your illness, so that you will no longer be troubled by the illness and will not worsen, but the recovery of your body depends on yourself.It's like being stabbed by a sword. It is impossible to heal your wound by swallowing the sickness, but it just keeps it from happening such as infection and pus.

This disease Gu is more targeted at diseases, not trauma.

Hearing Henry Zhang's words, Uncle Jiu sighed: "Injury is better than loss of life. I will prescribe some nourishing medicine for them to make up for it."

Uncle Jiu is kind-hearted and often offers free consultations. I'm afraid he collected the nourishing medicinal materials himself.

Henry Zhang summoned Abao and said: "Abao, go and swallow the sickness of these people and cure them."

"quack"

A Bao patted his stomach with his short hands, indicating that there is no problem.This time it didn't swallow them one by one, but with a bulging belly and a big mouth.

"Wong Buzz"

A large group of mosquito-like sub-gu flew out of its mouth. Ah Bao was about to advance, and his strength increased greatly, so he didn't know how many sub-gus he kept in his stomach.

I saw this child Gu flying out, divided into more than a dozen directions, and flew towards each patient.

Where have these patients seen such a scene, they all exclaimed and wanted to escape.

Henry Zhangdao: “Don’t be afraid, everyone, these bugs are for everyone’s treatment.”

Henry Zhang used Taoist methods in his words, which made everyone quiet all of a sudden. In addition, some patients had been treated in Henry Zhang Yinyang Medical Center, and they knew that Henry Zhang treated diseases differently.

Although the method was more bizarre this time, but he also had some basic confidence in Henry Zhang, so he said to help: "Everyone be quiet, this is Doctor Zhang's treatment method, don't be afraid. Doctor Zhang is like this in our town Curative."

Everyone was skeptical, and let these dozens of mosquito-like strange insects fly to their bodies, and stopped at the pus and bruises, sucking the sickness.

The flying insect had sucked enough sickness, so it flew back to Abao, who swallowed him, and then released other sub-gus to continue to absorb the sickness.The cycle repeats until the more than ten patients are cured.

Henry Zhang looked at the busy Zi Gu here, and thought that it would be easy for this person to clear up his illness, but this Renjia Town does not know how many rats and animals are infected with this disease, and it has to be cleared up.

He summoned the blood-eating locust and said, "Go and eat the sick rats and animals in Renjia Town, not even the bones left."

With a sound of "buzz", the blood-red locusts instantly flew up like a gust of wind, and scattered away at a speed like red lightning.

When Uncle Jiu saw it, he said, "Ah Xuan, you bloodthirsty locust is fierce and bloodthirsty, if you use it on people, you should use it sparingly, so as not to harm the peace of heaven."

Henry Zhang nodded in agreement, and then said: "Uncle Master, this disease is easy to spread, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me alone, and everyone has to move."

Uncle Jiu naturally knew this truth, he glanced at Ah Bao and Zi Gu who were still being treated, and said: "Let's go out and make some arrangements with the village elders, just in case."

The two came out, first washed their hands with water at the door, and then changed their clothes in the shed before looking for the village elder.

The village elder has been waiting for Uncle Jiu and Henry Zhang not far from the ancestral hall. The two most capable people in Renjia Town have played. If they can't be cured, Renjia Town will suffer.

Seeing the two people coming, he hurriedly asked: "Master Lin, Doctor Zhang, can this plague be cured?"

Uncle Jiu glanced at Henry Zhang and motioned for him to speak.

Henry Zhangdao: "Mr. Li, I can cure this plague, but the most important thing is to prevent the plague. This Renjia town also asks you to mobilize, wash your hands frequently, pay attention to hygiene, and take medicine regularly to prevent it..."

Henry Zhang explained how the future generations would deal with the plague, and asked the village elders to arrange it accordingly, and took out three prescriptions for the cure of the plague in later generations, and said: "Old Li, this is the prescription for curing the plague, just look at it, Don't let those profiteers monopolize medicinal materials and earn money from that life."

Mr. Li nodded his head heavily, and the crutch hit the ground with a "bang", and said, "Hmph, let me see, which bastard dares to earn money for this life."

This villager is a highly respected, senior old man, and he speaks his words.They are old and mature, so they naturally know what is more important. With them as guarantees, there is no need to worry too much.

After finishing speaking, Mr. Li continued: "Doctor Zhang, I would like to trouble you to visit a few neighboring towns to take precautions. I wonder if it is convenient."

This Renjia Town is inextricably linked to the neighboring town. Mr. Li is a fine person, knowing that if other towns also have a plague, it will not be of any benefit to Renjia Town, so he simply begged Henry Zhang to take a look.

Henry Zhang thought for a while, and then said: "I'll go and have a look after I finish taking care of this."

Henry Zhang agreed, Mr. Li was satisfied, and hurriedly said: "Doctor Zhang can rest assured to see, this remuneration will definitely not let you down."

Henry Zhang was not for the reward, but wanted to stabilize the rear, so that he could go north and visit Xishan Province.

Several people chatted for a few more words, and the old man hurried to arrange what Henry Zhang ordered.

After the few people left, Uncle Jiu asked, "Are you going to the epidemic area?"

Henry Zhangdao: "Abao is about to advance, and this epidemic just happens to be nourishing with it."

Uncle Jiu said: "Hmph, you kid is using another excuse to talk about things. I'm afraid it's just that you can't see chaos again."

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, and said again: "It's good for you to go this time, this kind of merit is enough for you to cultivate Yangshen, and this is also your chance. It's just that you have to be more careful when you go out this time."

There are many ghosts and gods in troubled times, and there are many strange things in the epidemic. It is inevitable that you will encounter ghosts and snakes, or other strange things when you go to the epidemic area.
