Chapter 240 Isolation, centralized treatment of villagers
Everyone had a sad face.
"Everyone, don't worry! We will not ignore those who are unfortunately infected with the epidemic. We will definitely find a way to save everyone! Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"
For a moment, the villagers all looked heavy-hearted, but the village chief was right. They couldn't let the whole family be buried with one person, right? So they said goodbye to their family in tears and went to register with the village chief.
There are more than twenty people with high fever in the village, which means the plague has invaded. They have to be concentrated and treated quickly. With more than twenty people, it won't be a problem to treat them according to the medicines replenished in Yao Qingnian's space.
It would be much easier to manage these villagers if we gather them together.
When Yao Qingnian came over, Doctor Lu was already boiling medicine for everyone to drink. It was some herbal medicine for reducing fever, which provided temporary relief, but had no cure for the plague.
"Goudan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!" Suddenly there were screams and cries in the yard.
Yao Qingnian and Doctor Lu rushed over and saw Goudan suddenly spit out a large amount of black blood from his mouth. His symptoms were quite serious, with a high fever and shivering all over.
Doctor Lu frowned and placed two fingers on Goudan's hand. The blood was flowing backwards, it was too serious and he was helpless. The child was probably in great danger.
When Yang Xiujuan saw Doctor Lu's expression, she felt heartbroken. Her husband had left and never returned, leaving them an orphan, a widow and his sick mother. The family depended on her to support the whole family. Now that Goudan had been infected with the plague, what should she do?
"Doctor Lu, I beg you! Save my Goudan!" Yang Xiujuan knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
"Get up quickly. It's not that I won't save him. It's just that his illness is too serious. I can't do anything!"
Doctor Lu looked distressed. Although he had been practicing medicine for many years, he was powerless to treat this epidemic.
Thinking back then, his father died in the plague. He was still young at the time. His father was a village doctor. When the plague broke out, he went to save people without hesitation, but he never came back. Later, the villagers brought news that his father had died of the plague.
He had been influenced by his father since he was a child. After his father passed away, he inherited his father's business and took over his position, but the epidemic has always been a thorn in his heart.
He has also worked hard to study epidemics in recent years, but the drugs he developed can only alleviate the symptoms but cannot cure the epidemic.
Goudan's face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was weak, as if he would die at any moment. He had tried various methods, but his condition did not improve at all. Doctor Lu felt deeply powerless and self-blame.
Yang Xiujuan collapsed to the ground and then fainted.
Doctor Lu hurriedly felt her pulse. She had already been infected with the epidemic, and she fainted due to excessive grief. He hurriedly asked someone to help her and gave her medicine.
"Doctor Lu, leave Goudan to me! Go check on the others." Yao Qingnian said aloud.
Doctor Lu knew that Yao Qingnian had some medical skills, so he did not stop him and went to see other patients despite his old age.
Goudan's small body huddled up in a ball, his face pale and haggard, he was also pitiful. He originally thought that after the war, his father must have returned, he was very happy in those days, every day he ran to the village entrance to wait, but most of the men in the village who went to the battlefield had returned, he waited from day to night, but did not see the shadow of his father, everyone knew that Goudan's father might not come back, but he did not believe it, still ran to the village entrance to wait every day, waiting for several hours.
His condition was quite serious, so Yao Qingnian first gave him an injection to control the spread of the virus. Then he took out some antipyretic medicine and fed it to him, and stayed by his side.
Yang Xiujuan next to her also had a high fever, but fortunately her condition was not that serious and she woke up after taking the medicine prepared by Doctor Hu.
"Goudan, how is Goudan?" As soon as Yang Xiujuan woke up, she anxiously asked about Goudan's condition.
"It's okay for now. You may have a fever again tonight. I'll stay here with you." As a close contact, it's better for Yao Qingnian to stay here so as not to bring the virus back and infect her family. She has been vaccinated and is not easily infected.
Yao Qingnian also gave Dr. Lu a shot of vaccine.
"Girl, what is this?" Doctor Lu saw Yao Qingnian take out a strange needle with a small transparent tube containing water.
"The vaccine prevents us from being infected. This is the recipe passed down from my ancestors. To save others, you must first ensure your own safety."
"Come on!" Doctor Lu often gave people acupuncture, but he himself had never been pierced. He didn't expect that at this age, he would also want to experience it. He had seen Yao Qingnian's medical skills. She said it was useful and inherited from her ancestors, so there should be no problem. Let's give it acupuncture!
Yao Qingnian asked him to show his arm. Although he was a little embarrassed, he also understood that doctors did not distinguish between men and women, so he followed her request and showed his arm. Doctor Lu only felt a chill in his arm, and the sharp needle pierced into his arm. After a sting, the vaccine was completed.
"All right!"
"So fast?" It would take him at least a quarter of an hour to finish giving acupuncture. Yao Qingnian's acupuncture was really strange.
"Well, it's just a little bit of medicine, of course it'll be fast." It's not an IV drip, you have to take it slow.
After vaccinating him, Yao Qingnian went to check on other patients. He put the seriously ill patients together and put those with milder conditions together and asked Doctor Lu to take care of them. He himself was in charge of the seriously ill patients.
"Doctor Lu, give them this medicine, once every two hours. Keep a close eye on their conditions. If there are any special or aggravated symptoms, tell me. Leave the rest to me, and you go and rest."
Doctor Lu is old, and Yao Qingnian is a little worried about him, so he gave him some simple tasks and let him rest while he stayed in the yard. Unexpectedly, Lu Daqing also came to help. Huai Jin went to the capital and asked him to help take care of the family. When he heard about the epidemic, he didn't think much about it and ran over.
"Yao Qingnian, if there's anything I can help you with, just tell me. I'm in good health and can handle it."
Yao Qingnian is indeed short of manpower now, so he asked the village chief to arrange a few young people to help run errands and boil medicine after giving them vaccinations.
At first they were reluctant, but Yao Qingnian told them that the epidemic was not as exaggerated as they thought. As long as they took good precautions and got vaccinated, the probability of infection would be greatly reduced.
After repeated lobbying by the village chief and others, he agreed.
Now three meals a day are delivered by people from the village. Yao Qingnian asked people to tell Liu Shuyue and the others that he had nothing to do and would stay here for two days. They didn't need to worry and just needed to stay at home.
I don’t know how Lin Qiaofeng and the others are doing. I will go back to check on them tomorrow when the people in the village are more stable.
Goudan had a fever several times throughout the night, and several children in the village rolled on the ground in pain. She was exhausted from busying herself with this and that. Fortunately, Lu Daqing and others came to help, so she finally had time to rest for a while.
The next day, the people in the village all felt much more stable after taking her medicine, so Yao Qingnian told the village chief and went to Yaojia Village to visit her parents.
