Chapter 189 Seeing the old friend again
After obtaining Bailiyuan's consent, Li Mu made preparations and planned to enter the epidemic blockade area. He put on a mask coated with medicine on his mouth and nose, and put on specially sewn gloves on his hands. Li Mu went in again.
Because of Li Mu's letter, the entire blockade area was cleaned very clean, and each area was clearly divided. Under Bailiyuan's subordinates, all affairs were arranged in an orderly manner. Of course, no matter how good the environment is, it can't hide it. Crying loudly, occasionally mixed with heart-piercing coughing, before there is no cure, the overall environment here is still low and hopeless.
Walking into a room, you can see rows of patients lying down, all of them pale, some lying there drowsily, some sitting there against the wall in a daze, their eyes are empty and hopeless, and occasionally there are a few These people are taking care of the patients. These people are either those who are still relatively mild and want to contribute their own strength, or some family members of the patients who are willing to risk their lives to stay here with their relatives to take care of them. comfort them.
Li Mu glanced around and then checked nearby. As a doctor, he needs to see, smell, and inquire. Gloves became an obstacle when he was taking the pulse. Li Mu took off the gloves without hesitation. Bailiyuan stood behind and stretched out his hand. Prevent.
After seeing seven or eight people in a row, all had symptoms of fever, headache, fatigue and body aches, and occasionally nausea, vomiting, irritability, skin ecchymosis, chest pain, cough, expectoration and other symptoms.
"Father! Woooooo..." Just as Li Mu was about to check on the next one, there was a loud cry from next door. It sounded like someone else couldn't make it through, and the faces of the surrounding patients all looked very nervous. Numbness, it's no surprise to me. It's only been a few days since the outbreak of the plague, but a lot of people have died. Even if Bailiyuan kept saying that he would stay and die with them, they still couldn't feel it. How much hope is there, after all, there has never been a plague in history that can be resolved smoothly. For them, being infected with the plague means that they have been named by the king of Hades.
Li Mu stood up from the edge of the bed, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a few soldiers walking out with wrapped straw mats. During the outbreak of the plague, the dead must be cremated as soon as possible. This is very well implemented. Not far away, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with red eyes was crying and was dragged by two middle-aged husbands. The young husbands were the children of the deceased. Their family was destroyed by a flood, and the whole family was killed. After they broke up, only the two of them escaped, but they learned that their father was infected with the plague three days ago.
Bailiyuan took a few steps forward, and put his arms around Li Mu's shoulders.
"Another one died! Alas!" A sigh came from next to Li Mu's ear, and Li Mu looked at a young man dressed as a doctor, also wearing a hood, and the exposed eyebrows made Li Mu look familiar .
"Your Highness, didn't you go out just now? Why did you come in again? Is there something wrong?" The man dressed as a doctor watched the soldiers go away before he noticed that Bailiyuan who had just gone out came in again, and there was something in his words Surprised and worried, the cure for the plague has never been tested, it is too dangerous to stay inside, if they can't stop Bailiyuan, they won't let Bailiyuan in at all.
"En." Bailiyuan nodded coldly without explaining anything.
"Brother Qin?" After careful identification, Li Mu suddenly shouted in joy and surprise.
"Li Mu?" Qin Heng frowned slightly in surprise.
"It's me, why is Big Brother Qin here?" Li Mu took a step forward, without Bailiyuan's cover, he was completely exposed in front of Qin Heng's eyes. Qin Heng was completely sure after seeing this figure and hearing this. The person in front of him was Li Mu, his brows were frowned even tighter, and he asked with a bit of worry in his tone: "I'm the one asking you this, why are you here? Could it be that you are infected with the plague? Comfortable?"
Although the time we spent with Li Mu was not too long, in Qin Heng's knowledge, he already regarded Li Mu as his younger brother. He wanted to stretch out his hand to feel Li Mu's pulse, but Bailiyuan stopped him before he could grab Li Mu's wrist.
"Brother Qin, I'm fine. I just came in to see if there's anything I can do to help." Li Mu quickly explained, feeling warm in his heart for Qin Heng's concern.
"Are you okay? Why don't you come in and see! Didn't you resign? What are you doing here instead of staying at home?" Hearing Li Mu's words, Qin Heng was furious. Li Mu actually dared to run in!Really mad at him!This anger even ignored Bailiyuan's action of protecting Li Mu just now.
"Brother Qin, don't be angry. I know it's not right for me to do this, but the doctors are benevolent. You can't just watch the people die, and I can't do it either. Entering here is my deliberate decision!" Li Mu came in before If you don't regret your decision, you won't regret your decision even more after you come in. He has thousands of years of advanced medical knowledge than here, and he will definitely find a way!
"Oh!" Qin Heng sighed.
"Brother Qin, how is the situation here now? Can you tell me about it?" Seeing Qin Heng's helpless expression, Li Mu hurriedly changed the subject and began to ask about the condition here.
"Although the current spread of the disease has been basically controlled, the situation is still not optimistic. Since the first infected person died, the number of deaths has continued to increase every day. Yesterday, a maximum of 21 people died, and the strange thing is that the dead Symptoms vary. Most of the symptoms before death are relatively common. Most people vomit blood and die of breath, while some have dark purple skin, as if they have been cursed. The symptoms of poisoning were severe bleeding, followed by rapid deliriousness, delirium or coma, and it took only two days from the onset of illness to death. Although the last case was rare, it was the most alarming."
Qin Heng has been here for a few days, and he understands the situation here. He said that his face is full of sadness at this time, his eyes are black and blue, and his complexion is very ugly. Don't say that even his master is interested in the current situation. Powerless, watching patients die every day, that feeling is really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, Doctor Qin found two more patients in the east of the city!" At this moment, several soldiers came over carrying two patients in ragged clothes, interrupting Li Mu's thoughts.
"Damn it, how could there still be!" Qin Heng cursed. Although the epidemic has been basically brought under control, occasionally patients will be found outside the blockade area, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them until the source of soldiers is found. Although such people Not many, but it will make people panic and unsettled.
The curses belong to the curses, things still need to be arranged, Qin Heng went up to make a diagnosis with an ugly face, it was indeed a symptom of the plague, Li Mu also went up to check, after confirming, Qin Heng immediately arranged people in the room.
"May I ask, where did you find these two people?" Li Mu stopped a soldier and asked.
"It's in the ruined temple in the east of the city." The soldier quickly replied, they were specifically looking for infected people, and if they found them, they would send them here quickly, and there were five other people who were found together with the two. According to Bailiyuan's order, he was detained in another place for isolation.
"Okay, I understand." Li Mu nodded.
"Did you find anything?" Bailiyuan waved his hand to make the soldier retreat, and asked Li Mu's thoughtful expression.
"After the epidemic was brought under control, has this kind of fish that slipped through the net been discovered?" Li Mu asked without answering.
"En." Bailiyuan nodded.
"So it turns out that the conditions of these patients are all very bad?" Li Mu continued to ask.
"Indeed." Bailiyuan nodded after thinking about it carefully.
"I think I probably know it, but I still need to confirm it." Combined with what Qin Heng said before, Li Mu had already made a judgment in his heart, but he still wanted to look again. After speaking, he turned and entered another room. There were quite a few sick people in the room, and overall, they seemed to be in better condition than the previous room.
There was a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air, several of them were fed bitter Chinese medicine by the bedside, and two people who looked like doctors were checking the pulse of everyone.
Li Mu didn't bother the two doctors, but began to check on his own. The more he checked, the more confident Li Mu was in his judgment.
"I think this should be plague." Li Mu finally concluded that this plague is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted by Yersinia pestis through rat fleas, and it is a natural foci disease that is widely prevalent among wild rodents.Clinical manifestations include fever, severe toxemia symptoms, enlarged lymph nodes, pneumonia, and bleeding tendency.There have been many epidemics of plague in the history of the world, with tens of millions of deaths. Before liberation, there were many epidemics in my country, and the fatality rate was extremely high.
Symptoms of plague include mild, glandular, lung, sepsis, skin, etc., so the symptoms of death are not uniform. Among them, the lung type is the most ugly, and the whole body is purple-black, so it is called the Black Death.
"Plague? Young man, do you mean that this plague is caused by rats?" An old man walked over at some point and said.
"Yes, the surrounding environment was dark and humid due to heavy rain, continuous flooding, and a large number of human deaths that were not burned and buried in time. Under this harsh environment, the pathogens carried by rats were bred and transmitted to humans through rats and fleas. A plague broke out." Li Mu nodded solemnly, and it was not easy for Li Mu to explain the bacteria, so he could only skip the concise explanation.
"It sounds reasonable, but it's still a bit unbelievable to say that the source of the plague is those rats and fleas." The old man is an old doctor, and he has never heard such a saying as Li Mu in his decades of medical practice. .
"So the plague has never been really cured." There is no such thing as bacteria in this era, and it is difficult for doctors to associate the source of the disease with animals. Therefore, once a plague occurs, the best way is to isolate the city. A very crazy and cruel act, that is, burning the whole city. Based on the principle that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, before the plague completely broke out, the people of an entire city were burned.
