Chapter 346 Chapter 346: Chaos in the Northwest (9)【Two in One】

  The night is dark.

   Only the thin moonlight under the sky.

   Half a mile outside the village and town, there is a line of defense surrounded by wooden horses and fences, guarded by two soldiers every five steps. There are three lines of defense in the same line, preventing people from entering and leaving the epidemic area.

  Every night, a group of soldiers had to work harder.

  The epidemic area is shrouded in the shadow of death, full of despair and silence, not to mention the common people and slaves, even the soldiers and doctors sent here cannot withstand this pressure.

  Many people want to escape in the dark in order to survive—there is still a glimmer of life if they escape here, but they will catch the disease sooner or later if they stay! Once caught, it will take a few days to become unconscious, followed by convulsions in the limbs and bruising of the skin.

  A patient changed from a big fat man into a scrawny mummy in just seven or eight days. His whole body was black and blue, and his whole body was bruised and purple, as if he had been sucked dry by some ghost. When he died, his expression was ferocious, and his eyeballs almost protruded from their sockets.

   There are also patients who have been vomiting blood after the onset of the disease, with thin and sunken cheeks, but their bodies swell rapidly as if they were blown, making their skin almost transparent. With a little external force, the tight skin broke open on the spot, and the flesh and blood rushed up to the beam.

  A doctor got close and was blown upright.

  The smelly internal organs hit him all over the face.

   On the second day, the doctor also showed symptoms of the disease, and died of the disease not long after, and his body was carried to the open space outside the house.

  The epidemic area is short of manpower. At the beginning, there were soldiers to help carry and bury the corpses, but they were too busy in the past two days.

   "Stop!" The soldier standing guard noticed the movement, holding a longbow in his hand, and warned sharply, "Go back!"

   No matter who comes, don’t listen.

   He warned again.

   "Say it again—go back!"

  An arrow fell on the man's escape path.

   Just stick to each other's toes.

   At this moment, the man finally responded.

The voice broke down begging for mercy: "I beg you soldiers to let me out! I'm not sick! I'm not sick! Look, I don't have any symptoms! If I stay here, I will die! Let me go! Wait!" This is a disregard for human life!"

  The two soldiers guarded indifferently.

  The person holding the bow is about to pull the bowstring hard.

   If the person is still obsessed with obsession, the next arrow will be aimed at the opponent's head or heart, killing him with one arrow!

   In a quarter of an hour.

  Someone came and dragged away the still body temperature and moved it to the wooden cart. There were already three or four corpses of different ages stacked on it, and the fatal wounds were all on the head and chest. The wheels rolled, and the blood ticked along the gaps between the planks.

  Similar scenes happen several times every night.

  The expressions of the soldiers changed from the initial unbearable to the current indifference, with numb eyes and mechanical movements, repeating the process of bending the bow and releasing the arrow.

  It seems that when the arrow goes out, what it kills is not a living person, but one or two insignificant livestock.

   They also don't want to shoot unarmed commoners.

  But just looking at the power of the epidemic, we know that the epidemic cannot be kept within the defense line. Once it spreads, the entire Shangnan will fall. At that time, not only such a few people will die, but tens of thousands, or even—more!

  No one can afford such an ending.

  The soldiers guarded for several more hours.

  Dawn is getting brighter.

  The soldiers are thinking about when to change shift.

"what sound?"

  The mind and body were tense all night, the five senses were unresponsive, and it seemed to hear the sound of horseshoes? He wasn't sure, until another soldier on guard said: "There is a voice!" As he spoke, a figure on horseback gradually became clear in his sight.

   "Stop!"

  Another soldier holds a spear.

  The tip of the spear was aimed at the person coming, and the soldiers standing guard nearby also heard the movement at this time, and were ready to come to support at any time.

  The visitor said: "Let go!"

  The soldiers would ignore him.

   "The county guard has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave this place!"

   "Bastard, you don't even recognize me?"

  The man on horseback was in a state of anxiety.

  The pawns ignored him.

  Although he also felt that the voice of the visitor was familiar, familiarity could not be used as proof of release. If you want to go in, you must have a warrant written or stamped by the sheriff himself, and they only recognize this.

  Besides this, the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu would not even recognize him when he came!

   "If you can't enter, you can't enter!"

   "If you dare to move forward, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

   More than a dozen bows and arrows have been aimed at this person, both openly and secretly.

  The visitor was short of breath when he saw this.

   It's just that he came in too haste and didn't prepare a warrant at all. Just as he was hesitating to reveal his identity with the Brave Talisman, or to use force to force his way in, a familiar yell rolled into his eardrums: "Stop! Stop all!"

  The guarded pawns stop at the same time.

  The visitor shouted ecstatically, "Twelve brothers!"

  The master of the voice rode forward.

   "Ninth brother?"

   Chao Lian, who was called "Twelve Brothers", could hardly believe his eyes. How did his ninth brother become like this?

  These two are Gu Ren's sworn brothers.

   One line is nine, one line is twelve.

  Xing Jiu, this man has sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and at first glance, he doesn't have the mean appearance of a good person. The thick beard that has not been trimmed for an unknown period of time almost blocks the entire face. His long hair was disheveled by the strong wind, and only his underwear was left on his body.

   "Ninth Brother, what is this??" Seeing Ninth Brother's appearance after being robbed, Chao Lian was stunned and speechless for a while.

   "Is the eldest brother here?"

   Chao Lian said: "Yes!"

  Wenxin literati have Wenqi to protect their body.

  The risk of staying in an epidemic area is not great.

  The epidemic area is short of manpower, Gu Ren can only go to help, and also to sit in the town to avoid chaos.

   "Quick! Take me to see Big Brother!"

   Chao Lian waved his hand to signal the soldiers to open the entrance.

  These soldiers are all private units under his jurisdiction, so they naturally obey military orders. The two brothers didn't talk nonsense, the royal horse galloped wildly, and hurried all the way to reach the destination—

  A temporary shelter separated from the epidemic area by only a low wall.

  Different from the purgatory-like silence of the human world in the epidemic area, the temporary government office is more lively, but everyone is in a hurry.

   Before the two brothers approached, they heard the sound of emotional debate coming from the house. From the sound, they were all acquaintances.

One person was emotional: "Control? Control? I have been saying this for more than half a month. When did you control it? A man should break it! The only way to keep Shangnan safe is to withdraw from the two places and seal the whole territory. Brother Six Ah, do you know how many people have fled in chaos these days? Can we keep an eye on them for a while if we can prevent them for a while? As long as one escapes, it will be over for Shangnan!"

  The psychological pressure brought by the epidemic is not only unbearable for doctors and ordinary people? They can't stand it either.

  These are still secondary, the most important thing is - the spread of such a brutal disease will affect more innocent people. However, my sixth brother refused to give up and was still working hard in vain.

   If you want him to say, when you should give up, you should give up!

   "That's right, big brother, sixth brother, the third brother's words are a bit harsh, but it is also for the overall situation... How long has it been since the epidemic happened, more than half of the two villages were infected, and even the soldiers we brought were infected with more than 300..."

   Not every **** has a body armor with martial energy.

   Most of them are ordinary people, but their bodies are stronger and stronger, and they cannot block the disease.

   Several people expressed their opinions one after another. Even if you don't give up now, the remaining people will die in seven or eight days. The natives in the affected area are almost infected with the disease, and now the new patients are all soldiers or slaves who brought labor.

   Persistence is meaningless.

   One more heartless person proposed massacring the village and burying the corpse.

  Gu Ren's faces were livid.

  But I can't reprimand these righteous brothers.

  When they learned that Gu Ren was going to enter the epidemic area, they were the first to respond to the call.

   "Brother, make a decision early!"

   Gu Ren's voice was hoarse: "This matter—"

  Before he finished speaking, he heard Chao Lian bring Lao Jiu in.

   "Brother, here I come!"

  When Gu Ren saw Lao Jiu, his eyebrows twitched.

  Everyone was surprised by Lao Jiu's appearance.

  In order to prevent the epidemic from instigating chaos, they brought one-third of the troops to the epidemic area, and the remaining two-thirds were in various places in Shangnan, and the old nine were responsible for guarding.

   "Old Jiu, why are you here?" After seeing Lao Jiu's attire, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "You are—"

   Tear!

   Without further ado, Lao Jiu raised his hands and tore up the crumpled dried dried plums. The sound of tearing cloth and silk attracted everyone's attention, and he ignored the quarrel, and all cast surprised and puzzled glances. I saw him stretch out his hand to untie the long cloth strips tied around his waist, and couldn't hide his ecstasy: "I received a message last night, and I hurriedly sent it to my eldest brother! Sixth brother, look too, it must be what you want!"

   Gu Ren and Lao Liu looked at each other.

   took the thing with Lao Jiu's body temperature.

  There is a letter in it.

   wrote the words "Brother Gu Zi Yiqin Kai".

  The handwriting is flamboyant, and Gu Ren is not familiar with it.

   "Whose letter?"

  Gu Ren asked while tearing it apart.

  Old Jiu said: "Who else is here, He Yin."

  He Yin?

   Gu Ren immediately thought of Shen Tang.

  Opening it, it was indeed written by Shen Youli.

  Shen Tang thoughtfully considered that Gu Ren was in a hurry at the moment, and he didn't have the patience to listen to her greetings. At the beginning of the letter, he cut straight to the point and went straight to the point, expressing his purpose.

   To put it simply, the same epidemic also occurred on Shen Tang's side, but because of good luck, it was discovered and controlled early, and some practical treatment experience was found out by mistake.

  Luckily, He Yin is currently in a stable situation.

She thought that there was Gu Ren, a suffering brother in the distance, and that the big guy had an alliance to defend against the enemy, so she asked her confidant to copy a medical prescription and medical record with various epidemic prevention measures, hoping to help Gu Ren .

   Gu Ren read ten lines at a glance.

  Hands are shaking.

   Several other people scratched their heads curiously.

   Guess the content of the letter and Shen Tang's intention.

finally-

   Gu Ren slapped the table with a slap.

  Excessively excited, his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he said "OK" three times in succession!

   "Brother, what is written in it?"

   Gu Ren barely calmed down.

   "It's saved! Hahahaha, it's saved!"

  The letter was circulated among the people.

  Some are excited and some are skeptical.

   "Brother, are Shen Tang's words true?"

   Gu Ren said: "If it's what Wu Zhaode said, I believe it at most three points, but this Shen Youli, I believe it!"

   Except for the letter, other handwriting is another person's.

List dozens of epidemic prevention points in detail, such as dividing areas, arranging patients according to the degree of illness, finding rat corpses, killing rats, boiling hot water, burning patient corpses, burning clothes and utensils that patients have touched...severely ill patients can Use Wen Qi or Wu Qi to suspend your life. For the treatment of mild and moderate patients, you can refer to the medical records and adjust the dosage of the prescription.

  Gu Chi also followed Shen Tang's intentions, matching pictures and texts, and told how to make masks, simple protective clothing, and gloves, and how to use them, all reflecting Shen Tang's unique care.

  The most important thing is that this epidemic is actually "epidemic" + "gu worm". The former can be treated with medicine, but the latter can only save people by drawing out Gu worms. Once the Gu worm lays eggs and the host's essence and blood are sucked dry, there is no way to recover, so you must act quickly!

   Gu worms?

   This thing is no stranger to everyone.

   Coming back from Sibao County, they were all worried about Lao Shisan's body, and they took turns helping Shao Chong to subdue the Gu worms in his body. Fortunately, everything is moving in a good direction.

   "Thirteen was harmed by Gu insects, and now there is another plague caused by Gu insects, who is secretly harming us?" The one with a bad temper directly slapped the desk case.

   Gu Ren also thought of this.

   Guess it was someone secretly doing the trick.

   As for who this enemy is, it is still unclear.

but-

  As long as you do something, there will always be traces.

   Gu Ziyi wrote down this account!

   If caught by him, he will return ten times and a hundred times!

   "Big Brother, Sixth Brother, are these methods really useful?"

   Others are okay, but the burning of corpses...

   To be honest, it is not very acceptable.

  The person who wrote this was worried that they would not follow through, so he repeated the important thing three times.

  Gu Ren was ruthless: "Burn!"

   Those who have not yet been buried shall be burned.

   Those who have already been buried will also be dug up and burned.

   It was the end of the matter, and there was nothing else they could do.

   Gu Ren changed from being friendly in the past, his eyes were cold and ruthless.

"Now, pass on the order—everyone who sees a mouse will be killed and burned! Drinking water must be boiled water, and anyone who drinks raw water will be held accountable for public display! If there is not enough firewood, even if the house is demolished, burnt Boil water even if you have property, all of these are burned away, I would rather die of thirst than touch a drop of raw water! Sixth brother, you send people to transfer all the patients to one place, and all those who have been in contact with the patients are isolated and observed area!"

  The sixth younger brother saluted and said: "Wei!"

   "Twelve, dispatch people to make masks and other things."

   Chao Lian took the order: "Wei!"

   Gu Ren continued to order: "Old Ten, you send someone to carry the corpses, dig three feet into the ground and dig them out, don't leak one, burn them all! If there is anyone who obstructs or refuses to retreat, kill!"

   After that, people were sent to clean up everywhere.

  No corner can be let go.

   Drive the common people to take a bath to clean their bodies, and anyone who does not cooperate will be punished on the spot. This punishment is actually to shave your head. Not very lethal, but extremely humiliating punishment.

   Gu Ren, who has always been kind and gentle, showed a rare strength this time, so tough that no one can resist him! All the brothers have always looked forward to him, and no one objected. Even if he objected, he opposed the epidemic prevention strategy given by Shen Tang, not Gu Ren.

   Gu Ren also followed the strategy.

  A similar situation is also happening in the sky and sea.

  However, Tianhai was the place where the epidemic was discovered the latest, and there was sufficient preparation time, so it was brought under control as soon as it appeared. On the third day, I received the strategy shared by Shen Tang. Before the common people of Tianhai began to fear, the disease had been brought under control.

  Wu Xian looked at the information from Shangnan, and sweated in fear: "Qin Qing, I owe you a lot of favors this time!"

   乛乛

   When you clicked on the bookshelf today, did you see "Tui Zhen" pop out?

   Hehe, this recommended location was won by the monthly ticket lottery for Mushroom, which was possessed by the European Emperor last month.

   Akimbo confidently

   What's wrong with the female frequency?

   Women's books can still be published, as long as the author blush!

   Wait for the mushrooms to go out to lose weight, and then come back and continue to code.

   PS: It feels like Wan Geng is a bit overhanging, but Daily Eight Thousand is sure to be stable!

   PPS: Do you know that I fought wits and courage with Bingying in the afternoon, and I resisted its cat claws and cuteness offensive, and bravely defended my keyboard.
