MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 1160 Extra Chapter 28 Plague

After the Weizhou embankment burst, it took another half a month for the floods to gradually recede. Just as hundreds of thousands of affected people were preparing to rebuild their homes with relief food from the court, a crisis of extinction quietly struck.

The flood drowned a large number of animals that had no time to escape. The corpses of these animals rotted little by little under the influence of high temperature. The corpse water with a putrid smell slowly seeped into the grass, mud, rivers... and among the affected people, Gradually, some people developed fever, cough and other symptoms.

"You want to go to Weicheng? No, I won't allow it!" In the bedroom, when Xiao Ruiyuan heard that his wife was going to Weicheng, the capital of Weizhou, which is full of dangers, he refused without even thinking.

Although the floods in Weizhou have receded, who knows if there will be other dangers there? In order to prevent the emergence of epidemics after the catastrophe, the court had sent two imperial doctors there a few days ago. Even if there was no news of an epidemic at the moment, Xiao Ruiyuan did not want his wife to take any risks.

Seeing his wife lowering her head and keeping silent, Xiao Ruiyuan realized that his tone was wrong, softened his face and asked softly: "Why do you want to go to Weicheng when you are so good? If you feel bored and want to go out for a walk, my husband will accompany you to other places. Let’s go around the place, wait until there is no danger in Weicheng, how about I go with you as my husband?”

Mo Yan had long expected that the man would not agree, but at the moment there was no epidemic in Weizhou, so she couldn't explain why she had to go, so she had to find an excuse: "I didn't do it for fun, I heard that there are many people there in Weizhou." The people are suffering from dampness and cold and are sick, so they want to bring a batch of medicinal materials to a free clinic for a month. You can let me go, as it will be a good deed for our family."

 If nothing unexpected happens, an epidemic will break out in Weizhou within ten days at most. Weizhou is so big that there is no one point where the epidemic breaks out. She is not a **** and cannot cut off the source of the disease. She can only develop restrained prescriptions based on the symptoms when it breaks out, control the epidemic, and cure those patients.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan didn't want to agree anymore. He hugged his wife and tried to persuade her: "Over the years, you have donated rice and food to poor people, and arranged free clinics on the streets at the beginning of the month. You have accumulated enough kindness for our family. Before, You have also donated food and medicinal materials to the people of Weizhou. You have already done what you can, and you don’t have to go there in person. Xiaowu has just turned one month old, can you bear to leave him behind?"

　　When mentioning her youngest son, Mo Yan's face showed reluctance. She said cruelly: "I can't bear to leave Xiao Wu, but the situation in Weizhou may change. I have to go and see for myself before I feel relieved."

Even his youngest son could not change his wife's mind. Xiao Ruiyuan was completely at his wits end. He shook his head helplessly and had to compromise: "I will write a letter to my husband tomorrow morning and I will accompany you to Weizhou."

Mo Yan hesitated and said with some worry: "It will take at least a month to go there. If both of us are not here, what will happen to the children?"

Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head and didn't think there was anything wrong with leaving a few children at home: "Wanwan will take good care of Xiao Wu. When Jue'er is older, you don't have to worry about them being hungry and freezing. If you are really worried, my husband will take care of Xiao Wu." They took him to his father-in-law’s house.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan waved her hands quickly: "Let's forget it. Parents are so good at spoiling children. By the time we come back, these people will have gone wild."

"Then let them stay at home, and my husband will give them homework for a month." Xiao Ruiyuan made a decision following his wife's words, and made up his mind to take advantage of his wife's absence this month to make these brats clingy. Correct the problem.

The couple set a departure date and made their own arrangements. Two days later, after saying goodbye to their children, the couple took the medicinal materials, doctors and guards and left the capital for Weicheng, the capital of Weizhou thousands of miles away.

This time, the accompanying doctors were all trained by the school run by Mo Yan. She spent money to expand the school in Liuyang Village several times, and selected talented children from the beggars she took in for training. After more than ten years, the first batch of children have grown up, acquired good medical skills, and are able to treat doctors and prescribe prescriptions alone.

  Du's Medical Clinic is also centered in the capital city and has branches in many places in Dachu. Due to its superb medical skills and benevolent heart, Du's Medical Clinic enjoys a high reputation among the people and has accumulated a lot of merit for Mo Yan.

After ten days of long journey, Mo Yan and his party finally arrived in Weicheng at the beginning of the plague. At this time, some of the people affected by the disaster had already developed symptoms such as high fever and cough, but no one knew that this would be a highly contagious disease that made people laugh.

Under the arrangement of the Weicheng magistrate, everyone moved into a mansion specially prepared for them. Under Xue Tuanzi's urgent reminder, Mo Yan ignored the need to rest and immediately asked the accompanying doctor to wear a mask to count the patients with high fever and cough in the city. At the same time, he asked the prefect to notify subordinate counties and towns to prepare for disease prevention and take isolation measures. .

This series of arrangements made the prefect of Weicheng feel very excited, but he did not believe that an epidemic would occur in the place under his jurisdiction.

However, when the subordinates who were sent out panicked and came back overnight to report that their counties and towns had developed various symptoms that would only occur when suffering from the epidemic, the prefect was completely panicked. He knew very well that once the epidemic spread could not be controlled, the imperial court would definitely set fire to the city. , Weicheng will completely become a dead city.

As the epidemic became increasingly serious, the prefect of Weicheng, who wanted to abandon the city and flee, was shocked by Xiao Ruiyuan's use of force. He obediently followed Mo Yan's instructions and used all the troops in Weicheng to set up several isolation points in designated areas to isolate people with the epidemic. The people were isolated and treated by Mo Yan and the doctors.
