Dr. Li was actually just guessing. After so many years of practicing medicine, he was still very confident in his guess. He said, "I suspect this is a contagious cold."
Yang Haiyan didn't understand what it meant to have a contagious cold: "You mean, this kind of contagion?"
Mr. Li said, "Yes, every spring, the rainfall is particularly heavy, so there is a kind of contagious cold that occurs, but it is also certain. But once it occurs, it is very contagious. And the recovery process is very long, about a month. This kind of contagious cold usually occurs in children and the elderly. If this disease is treated and the medicine is taken on time, it is generally not fatal. But once it is not treated, the situation is serious and it can be fatal." However, no one likes this contagious disease.
Yang Haiyan ignored Mr. Li's words. Catching a cold is a common cold. Common colds are not contagious, and modern people's physiques are generally weak. However, there is indeed a type of cold that is not contagious, and if it occurs, it basically occurs every spring, and that is influenza.
Yang Haiyan listened to Mr. Li's explanation of this infectious cold, and thought it was the same as influenza. She was also sick, and she also had influenza, which made her dizzy, coughing and running nose all the time. Even after taking medicine, it didn't seem to work. It took her half a month to gradually recover.
Even with modern medical development, it takes half a month to recover, but in ancient times, it took a month to fully recover. During this month, due to the backwardness of ancient times and the lack of medicinal materials, this disease could kill people.
So Dr. Li said that if you take medicine every day, it is usually fatal. But once you take medicine, it is fatal. However, taking medicine for a month is not affordable for most people. Even if they can afford it, they are reluctant to take it. Some people think that they can survive. After enduring the first day, they will survive the second day. When they die on the second day, they think that they have survived for two days, so it is okay to survive for one more day. So... life is slipping away.
If this is really influenza, it might be a really terrible experience for everyone.
Yang Haiyan thought about it again and again, and finally asked Mr. Li: "What should we do according to Mr. Li's opinion? There are so many people here. If everyone takes medicine every day, we must first ensure that there are enough medicinal materials." And buying medicinal materials requires silver, and they don't have so much silver. So, unless those people pay for it first. But even if they pay, if some people don't have much silver, it's impossible to pay.
Li Xianfu said: "The conservative method for this disease is to separate healthy people from sick people. Sick people need to take medicine, and healthy people also need to take precautions."
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan immediately adopted isolation. This was undoubtedly the safest way. Qin Fang was not very happy, and Yang Haiyan called Kun Shi: "Go and make arrangements immediately. The tents of healthy people and sick people need to be rearranged."
Kunshi: “Yes.”
However, a quarter of an hour later, Kun Shi came back, his face was very serious: "Madam, things are not that simple."
Yang Haiyan asked: "What's wrong?"
Kun Shi said: "Everyone is afraid of isolation, worried that God will take their lives away."
Yang Haiyan frowned and thought for a while: "Aunt Lian, hold an umbrella, I will go and tell them myself." Relatively speaking, she was afraid to live with the patients, because she had the medicine in her hand and she could take it secretly.
Aunt Lian was startled: "Madam, what are you doing..."
Yang Haiyan said: "Don't be afraid. We need to keep everyone stable now. If everyone is infected, we will be in trouble. And Mrs. Li also said that this disease is fatal. The key is to get it slowly. Go, hold an umbrella."
Nanny Lian had no choice. Since the madam had said so, what else could she say
Yang Haiyan walked out of the tent holding an umbrella, and Kun Shi and other private guards followed her in straw raincoats.
All the team members were looking outside the tent door. Just now Kun Shi went to ask them to be isolated, so now they were all looking at Yang Haiyan nervously.
Yang Haiyan stood in the rain and said to the team members in a loud voice: "Everyone, you already know about the quarantine, right? Don't worry, this quarantine is not to kill you, but to ensure your health. This is not smallpox or plague. This is a contagious cold that can be treated. It just develops more slowly and lasts longer, but it is still fatal.
If we don't quarantine, healthy people will be infected, and then everyone will catch a cold and get the disease, then we will run out of medicine, and everyone will just have to wait to die. According to the current situation, the fewer people are infected, the more medicine we will have left, and the sick people will recover faster.
I know everyone is worried, so I personally delivered the meals to the quarantine tents to prove that this infectious disease is harmless. Think about it, if this disease is fatal, I would also risk my own life, right
Of course, if you insist on isolation, then as long as those healthy people are willing to live with you, I have no objection."
But which healthy person would be willing to live with a sick person
"You want to live with them and drive them out."
"That is, what if we get sick? Who will pay for the medical expenses?"
"Even if you have to take care of yourselves, you have to take care of your family. Do you want to make all the children sick?"
"The general's wife said that this disease can kill people. Are you worried?"
"Kick them out..."
Then, the healthy people united and drove the sick people out. The sick people were already in poor health and full of strength, so they were naturally no match for them. In addition, they were outnumbered, so they were quickly driven out.
Yang Haiyan did not stop these things. She just ordered Kunshi to tidy up the tent.
Therefore, Kunshi took his people and immediately quarantined the whole family. They didn't need to waste any words to talk to them. Whether they were healthy or sick, everyone cooperated very well.
Meng Qiu was also on the quarantine list because he had not recovered yet. For influenza, the closer you are to recovery, the more dangerous it is because the closer you are to recovery, the more likely you are to infect others.
Mrs. Meng Qiu was unwilling to give up her daughter, so she moved to the isolation tent with them. Even if she was infected, she wanted to live with her daughter. This is probably maternal love.
The quarantine was carried out very quickly. After all, at present, there were still more healthy people. Because influenza required a large number of medicinal materials, Kun Shi took people to other counties to purchase them. He brought only 200 taels of military pay and 2,000 taels of silver given by Yang Haiyan privately.
Wulipo
It was dark, and Qin Fang led his men to sneak into the bandit's den. Because it was raining, the bandits were very strict in defense. Of course, an important reason for the bandits' strict defense was that they were used to calling the shots here, and the county magistrate was their man, so why would they defend
This has led to the current mentality, where people think they are the emperors in this world.
Qin Fang and his men easily sneaked into the bandits' lair, then secretly eliminated several bandits, changed into their clothes, and carried out the first step of the plan, adding knockout drugs to the bandits' food and water.
The water source is naturally the well, and the food is naturally the kitchen. Mr. Li has already explained the location of the well and the kitchen, so Qin Fang and others understand it very well.
After the drug was administered, Qin Fang and the others hid. The reason why he did not use the drug at night was because some people were very sensitive to the smell of the drug and could tell at once. Moreover, once there was movement, it would not be so easy to catch the bandits without hurting innocent people.
Therefore, it is best to use the knockout drug first.
Qin Fang and others who were hiding were waiting for the next day.
the next day
Waves of fragrance wafted into the noses of Qin Fang and others.
Soldier: "Damn, they eat so much." Early in the morning, the aroma of buns and meat patties made those who were hiding start to drool.
Qin Fang thought for a moment and said, "After we take them down, I'll allow you to have a meal here."
The soldier's eyes lit up: "Thank you, General." He saw when the knockout drug was put into the food in the kitchen, there was rice and meat in it. The soldier licked his lips, and he was happy to think that he could have a good meal.
The bandits in the den ate together. There was only one kitchen. When the food was cooked, it was brought to the living room, and then they went to pick it up one by one.
The bandits received the porridge and buns and sat aside to eat. They ate voraciously, this was their usual way of eating, they were used to it.
Qin Fang saw this and could not help frowning. He said to the soldiers, "You stay here and wait until the drug takes effect. If someone is still alive, throw the ignited drug into the hall. Then close the door and I will go check on the people who haven't come yet." The so-called people who haven't come yet are naturally the leaders of the bandit den. Those little guys come when it's time for dinner, because the cooks cook for them every day. If they come, they will definitely have no food to eat if they are late. So they come when it's time to grab food. But the bandit leaders are different. They have food to eat whenever and wherever they get up.
Qin Fang did not see the bandit leader in the dining hall. Mr. Li described the bandit leader's appearance and figure. Apart from that, he observed the way the bandits who were eating in the dining hall behaved. None of them was the bandit leader. The interactions between Xiao Luoluo and the bandit leader were more or less polite.
According to Mr. Li, there are two bandit leaders here, the first one and the second one. The first one is good at kung fu, while the second one is a military strategist and good at kung fu, so Qin Fang is naturally looking for the first one.
Following the location Mr. Li had given, Qin Fang quickly found the head of the family's room. As soon as he entered, he heard a woman's scream coming from inside, mixed with the lustful roar of a man.
