A school lieutenant ran into the army tent and said loudly: "It's not good, General, there is a strange disease in the army, it is suspected to be an epidemic..."
"what!"
Wang Ziteng was shocked.
Perhaps the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is the plague, so the army strictly guards against it.
"Go, go and see immediately!"
Not daring to delay for a moment, Wang Ziteng immediately put down his military affairs and walked out of the big tent.
Jia Qing followed immediately.
No wonder Wang Ziteng was panicked, even the epidemic among the people is the most serious problem, not to mention in the army, if it is not handled properly, the entire army may be wiped out. There have been such examples in history!
A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived in front of a barracks.
This is a small barracks with only ten people living in it.
A few wailing sounds could be heard from far outside. Two guards at the door were covered with gauze scarves, and the surrounding walls and ground were already covered with limestone.
"General, you can't go in!"
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was going in to have a look, the captain immediately stopped him.
The other generals who followed immediately advised: "The general is in danger with the whole army, so you must not put yourself in danger. Let the last general wait for someone to go in and check!"
Wang Ziteng hesitated.
Seeing this, the other two generals immediately ordered the handymen next to them to sprinkle lime on them, and put on scarves like the guards, and they were about to go in to check.
Jia Qing watched from the side and nodded secretly.
The ancients also had some methods to deal with the epidemic in their experience and conclusions.Although not necessarily completely scientific, because they may face any strange disease to do so.
Wang Ziteng asked: "Where is the medical officer?"
"The doctor is already in."
Wang Ziteng said: "Evacuate all the barracks in the twenty steps around, and all the sergeants with abnormalities, no matter what their positions, will be detained alone."
"Yes!" No one hesitated Wang Ziteng's order.Plague, that is something that makes everyone talk about it.
Although it is not certain yet, they cannot help being careless.
"Light a fire, light a torch..."
Wang Ziteng frowned and thought about all possible ways to suppress the plague.
The lives of 20 soldiers and the safety of Da Chu are at stake, so one cannot be too careful.
Jia Qing sighed: "General, let me go in and have a look."
After all, Jia Qing is a scientifically educated person.He knew that, in fact, most of the plagues in this era were not that terrifying, it was just that people at that time didn't know the correct way to deal with them, so they were so afraid.
Epidemics are nothing more than pathogenic infections, and their spread requires conditions.
Unless you really encounter a disease that can be transmitted by air and is also highly contagious, just like the "SARS" in later generations...
That is, the sky is going to destroy Dachu, and there is nothing to change.
But this is unlikely.
"Nonsense, what are you doing in there?" Wang Ziteng said angrily.
"I have loved reading strange stories in magazines since I was a child, and I have some opinions on the symptoms of these diseases, maybe I can see something.
Don't worry, the general, I'm just watching from a distance, and I won't put myself in danger. "
The two generals were ready, and they heard the words: "Then let General Xiao Jia come in, we will watch and prevent him from getting close to the patient."
Wang Ziteng frowned.Faced with this kind of thing, everyone is afraid to avoid it, but Jia Qing dares to take the initiative to step forward, maybe he is really sure.
He urgently needs to determine whether the people inside are infected with the disease.
So he nodded.So Jia Qing took precautions like the two before, and followed them in.
The barracks was only two feet long and one foot wide in a small courtyard. At this time, there were four people lying crookedly, all of them looked hopeless.
The captain in charge of this barracks said: "The twelve people who lived here originally were discovered early. The other eight people have not shown any abnormalities, and they have been transferred to the woodshed next to them to take care of them."
"Doctor Song and Doctor Qiao, can you tell if it's an epidemic?" asked one of the generals who came in.
Two old medical officers who had passed the years of knowing their destiny stood up.One of them said: "We have seen all four of them, and their symptoms included fever, fatigue, and anxiety, and two of them also had bruises.
It can be concluded that they did suffer from the same disease, but whether it is an epidemic or not is still uncertain.Maybe they just ate the wrong things together, or they were exposed to things at the same time that no one else was exposed to.
The only way to tell is to wait a few days to see if the condition has worsened.
Now let's go and see the others who lived with them in this barracks..."
The two old medical officers are still of a certain level, and there is no look of fear or anxiety on their faces, nor are they talking nonsense or scaremongering, but just telling the truth.
"General, let's go too."
The captain is kind to Jia Qing.
"Not busy, let me ask them a few words."
Jia Qing said so, seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of several people, he said: "Generals, please just watch from the side."
"Then hurry up, we can't stay here for long."
"I see."
Jia Qing turned around, looked at the four people who were lying on the ground waiting to die with terrified faces, and said in a deep voice: "The cause of the disease has not yet been found out, so you are so afraid? But there is still a bit of a big Chu soldier. Spirit? Now, come over to me, everyone who is not dead!"
The few people were stunned for a moment, without much hesitation, the two with mild symptoms got up and walked over, approaching the two military brothers who were in pain and said "ouch".
"Little general, aren't you afraid of catching the disease?"
One of them asked Jia Qingdao.
Jia Qing was still wearing the suit of the welcoming envoy, so it was easy to see his identity as a general.
Jia Qing didn't answer his question, but said: "I know the epidemic is terrible, but even if it really happened, are you going to complain here and wait for death with your eyes open?
How can you be worthy of your parents and relatives who are far away at home, and how can you be worthy of the general who is trying to heal you? "
