Zhou Ning asked in a voice that only she and the child's mother could hear: "Does he have cholera?"

The child's mother trembled violently, followed by silent crying.

Zhou Ning looked back at the refugees, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This kind of thing still happened.

"Sister-in-law, let me see him. If you hold him like this, you will only wait for death." Zhou Ning said, stretching out his hand.

The child has gone into convulsions and is probably going to die.

The child's mother looked up at Zhou Ning. She was wrapped tightly with only a pair of eyes exposed.

An ordinary girl would either be scared to death or start cursing if she encountered such a thing, but this girl was so calm and composed that it was scary.

"I only found out about it three days ago, and I've never let anyone touch him," said the child's mother.

This cholera has a very high mortality rate, and it only takes a few hours from onset to death. I don’t know why this child was able to hold on for so long.

It's also a miracle.

Fortunately, cholera is neither transmitted through droplets nor directly through the body, so the situation is not too bad.

However, if a person comes into contact with someone who has cholera and does not pay attention to hygiene, and puts the disease into his mouth, he will get cholera.

Zhou Ning felt the child's pulse and found it weak, with fever and diarrhea. She withdrew her hand, sprayed it with the strong liquor she carried with her, and asked, "What did he eat?"

The child's mother cried and said sadly: "There was nothing to eat. It was caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. There was nothing to eat. The child almost died."

During the journey, the child was very hungry and might just grab something to eat.

Either it is unclean water, or it is the fish and shrimp in unclean water.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go find another doctor."

After saying that, Zhou Ning went to find Zhang Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao also frowned and looked at the patient in front of him.

His face was a little pale. He saw Zhou Ning, who also took his patient's pulse, and understood.

Zhou Ning stopped taking pulses and gathered all the doctors for a meeting.

Originally, this matter should have been the responsibility of the county government, but now that it was such a hot potato, County Magistrate Lin was eager for someone with great power to take over, so he did not send anyone and let Zhou Ning take over in full.

Zhou Ning didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "One of them has cholera."

Zhang Zhao swallowed his saliva. Although he was an old Chinese medicine doctor, he was also afraid of death. Although this disease was not incurable, it was too terrible and the onset was too rapid.

Yuan Shang didn't react much. He was already dying, and it was Zhou Ning who saved them.

Besides, if it gets a little more dangerous here, we can buy a little more safety for my wife, daughter and fellow tribesmen.

But, my eldest daughter...

Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Qingdai. His daughter was calmer than himself.

It's also my fault. I usually teach him about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but this child really thinks of himself as a savior.

Zhou Ning made a prompt decision: "Use the city gate as the boundary. People outside the city should not go in, and people inside the city should not come out."

"We are still checking the pulse. Green cards, yellow cards, and red cards all need to go to the 'isolation room' corresponding to their respective colors, just as we agreed before."

"But now there is a case of cholera. Chunfeng, take a few men who are in good health and set up another 'isolation house'. There are suspected cases of cholera, some of which are mild and some are severe, so you can set up three."

"This cholera is probably caused by drinking unclean water. Clean water is a big issue now. I'll go discuss this with Yuzu."

After Zhou Ning gave the order, he wrote a letter to the city.

"Yuzi, some people outside the city have cholera. This is an extremely dangerous disease that is not spread through droplets or direct contact, but can be transmitted through unclean water or contact with sick people. The disease enters the body through the mouth."

"Hurry up and make masks, and high-concentration alcohol. I remember there is a simple device that can purify water. I will write you the method. Please pay more attention to the water used by the people in the city. From now on, close the city gates first, and discuss again after the crisis is resolved."

"I hope you and I take care of each other."

Next, Zhou Ning wrote down the method of making the water purification device and pushed it through the city gate.

There were special people to meet the people at the city gate. Zhou Ning specifically instructed them not to take the letter, but just copy it as it was, so as to reduce the risk of contact.

After reading it, you have to burn it.

After Shen You heard the news, his face turned pale and everything in front of his eyes became blurry.

"Yuzi..." Qi Ji hurriedly supported Shen You.

Shen You wiped her tears and choked up, "I'm fine. Listen to Ah Ning and close the city gates immediately. Send out the masks and wine immediately, and send out the rations for the next three days. And, the water purification device Ah Ning mentioned, Qi Ji, go find County Magistrate Lin and hire someone to make it immediately. From now on, no one in the city is allowed to drink water casually. They must get water from the county government."

Qi Ji felt sorry for Shen You, but he didn't dare to delay and went to do the job immediately.

"Bai Zhao, go and make arrangements with the people that An Ning brought from the factory. Immediately increase the intensity of physical examinations on the people in the city." Shen You said, trying to hold back tears.

Bai Zhao stood in front of Shen You and refused to move.

Shen You raised her eyes and met Bai Zhao's empty eyes. The look in her eyes was like...

Not angry.

"My father died of cholera. Once you get this disease, it's almost certain to kill you." Bai Zhao said calmly.

Tears welled up in her eyes again. Shen You held her wooden sign tightly and said, "I know."

Bai Zhao said: "If she gets this disease, she will die."

These words are like knives.

Shen You's face turned pale as he said, "I know."

Bai Zhao really wanted to say, I want to go out and stay with her.

But he can't, this life has never belonged to him.

His life must be kept here for the young master.

It is his duty to protect the young master and risk his life for him.

He protected Qi Ji, which was the reason why A Niang and his sister were sheltered. It was a deal between him and Qi Ji's maternal family.

Shen You couldn't go out either, because she was the county lord. She had to stay here to prepare supplies for Aning and reassure the people inside and outside the city.

Bai Zhao didn't say anything else. He just felt that his legs would go numb even when he was standing, and when he walked, it seemed as if his legs were not his own and he staggered.

Shen You managed to finish all his tasks during the day.

As night fell, Shen You took a look at the meal brought by Qi Ji, and it was already cold.

There is a statue of Bodhisattva in the city.

Many people went to pay their respects during this period, but Shen You did not because he had no worries in his heart.

At this time, she changed into plain clothes and went to the Bodhisattva statue.

No one worships the Bodhisattva at night, and the statue looks a little desolate.

Shen You didn’t know how he got here, he just bent his knees and knelt in front of the Bodhisattva.
