Chapter 137

Many people in the village want to leave, but where can they go without the village? It may be death to go out and death to stay in the village. It's not long before the joy of digging a well and digging out water comes to face the threat of death. It's really sad.

A few of those who want to leave all call on their friends, probably because they think it's convenient to have a companion on the way, and encourage those who are hesitant to leave as soon as possible.

On the same day, there were five families in the village, carrying food on their backs and going on the road. I don't know if they are going to go to relatives.

Xu Qing is also packing up. The plague is too high for her. She really doesn't know what to do. If it's spread through the air or mosquitoes, even living in the mountains can't be prevented. She has to go. Go as soon as possible!

Xu Qing said: "Xu Ying, let hui'er and Xiao Meizi not run around. Clean up everything in the room. I'll go out for a while."

Xu Ying answered: "good elder sister."

"Sister, I'll go down with you to pack up." Xu Qing, carrying a small sack, said to Li Jinmei.

"What are you holding?"

"Moxa leaf." With that, Xu Qing glanced at the courtyard and said, "where is the long pavilion?"

"It should be down the mountain."

Xu Qing held back his anger and said, "forget it, let's go down first."

"What do you do with moxa leaf?" Li Jinmei asked, puzzled, and soon she knew what Xu Qing was going to do.

I saw Xu close the door and window, set up a stove in Li Jinmei's room, rolled moxa leaf with paper, and walked around the room while burning, fumigating the smoke to every corner of the room.

"Smoked Wormwood Leaves can sterilize." Xu Qing explained, "let the rest of the moxa leaf burn slowly. Take out all the water in your house and give you and your brother-in-law a hot bath. You should take a bath quickly and wash it clean!"

"Why?" Li Jinmei is puzzled.

"In order not to be infected with the plague, listen to me Xu Qingdao.

"All right." Although Li Jinmei loves water, she has no hesitation. She and Cao Laoliu go to the cellar to get water and burn bath water.

On the other side, in the room, Chen Li takes off all the clothes of one of the infected men, and carefully checks the abnormality on him.

If it wasn't for Li Changting who forced him, Chen lichai didn't want to contact the patient so closely. This is a patient infected with the plague!

Chen Li knew that he might have contracted it too. This morning, he was called to see a doctor. When he found out that the patient had a plague, he knew that he could not escape. Now he is just breathing.

"Can't I live?" Asked the man in bed, crying.

Chen Li also wanted to cry. He sniffed: "don't be sad, brother. We can't live. You won't be alone if you have a companion on the way to huangquan."

"It doesn't matter if I'm dead, it's just my parents..."

"Why so many mosquito bags?" Li Changting asked suddenly.

"It's hot. Of course there are many mosquitoes." Chen Lidao.

"Go and see if everyone who is sick has a mosquito bag." Li Changting road.

Chen Lixin wants to say that you really make him a servant?! As a result, he gave advice to Li Changting again.

"I'm going to have a look."

Chen Li checked everyone who got sick. After vomiting and diarrhea, he began to have a high fever. Some of them had already started to talk nonsense.

After Chen Li came back, he nodded to Li Changting: "there are many mosquito bags and many flies. I saw that they all have eggs in their hair. It's so scary!"

Li Changting frowned and said to Chen Li, "I know. Go back."

After Chen Li came home, he immediately boiled water with plant ash and wiped all over his body. He was worried again and boiled a pot of medicine soup for himself.

After Li Changting returned, Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu had moved all the food, water and soft food to his home. They were clean and their clothes were brand new.

"I haven't bathed for a long time. It's so comfortable." Li Jinmei said.

"Where have you been?" Xu Qing asked Li Changting calmly.

Li Changting felt his nose a little guilty.

"Did you wash your hands?"

"I didn't touch anything." Li Changting coughed and changed the topic. "Everyone come to the room. I'll tell you something."

Later, Li Changting told you about the patient's symptoms. From today's half day observation, it is basically certain that the disease is plague.

"Mosquito bag? Oh, we don't have them, do we? " Li Jinmei stood up in fear and raised her sleeve to have a look.

"Don't panic." Li Changting said, "it's so hot that it's normal to be bitten by mosquitoes. They don't all get sick because they are bitten by mosquitoes. It's mainly the child."

Speaking of the child, everyone felt scared.

Xu Qing said: "when the corpse decays, it will attract flies and other creatures. Flies and insects carry a large number of pathogenic bacteria to spread around, infect other people, and then infect other people. Coupled with the hot weather, we do not have water to take a bath, one by one are dirty and smelly, but also make mosquitoes gatherThis is also what Xu Qing has been worried about. High temperature and dirty is a hotbed of bacteria. If it goes on like this, he will get sick sooner or later.

"Well, let's hurry tomorrow!" Li Jinmei said.

"I'm thinking, we're all like this, and the rest of the world is not much better." Xu Qing said, "I'm sure I'll go, but I'll try to find a way to save the people in the village."

"What can I do?" Li Jinmei asked curiously.

To everyone's knowledge seeking eyes, Xu Qing said: "I only know that plant ash and quicklime boiling water can sterilize and disinfect, and smoke Artemisia argyi leaves to prevent mosquitoes. I also have prescriptions for expelling heat and inflammation, but I really don't know if they can work."

Li Changting said: "I asked the patriarch to do all these things. Let's see the effect."

Xu Qing asked, "shall we still go?"

Li Changting pondered for a while and clapped: "go, go tomorrow."

Xu Qing was secretly relieved: "OK, we'll pack up tonight."

At night, when he was burdened, Xu Qing suddenly thought of Yu Xiaoqian and Li Qinshu.

"Do you want me to say hello to Qianqian? If they are willing to go with us, it's not impossible." Xu Qing asks Li Jinmei.

Li Jinmei shook her head: "don't go so late. I asked Qianqian last time. Qianqian said that if she wanted to escape, she would go to her mother's house with Li Qinshu, and she would not go with us."

Xu Qing thinks of Yu Xiaoqian's family. When it comes to her family, Xu Qing thinks of her mother, but she is not going to take her, let alone she is not her mother.

Before Li Jinmei's absence, Xu Qing had put most of his things into the space, leaving only some soft food and grain that were easy to carry. They packed them up quickly.
