Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"If there is one person infected with the plague, then I think these people are very likely to have been infected," Doctor Lin added.

Lin Yinan rubbed her sore brows. She didn't sleep the whole night and kept flipping through information related to the plague in her space.

According to Doctor Lin and Yun Wu, the "big head plague", "lump plague" and "vomiting blood plague" are commonly known as the plague, also known as the black plague.

"I wonder if there is any treatment?" Lin Yinan looked at the two of them.

The two men shook their heads. What they could do now was to separate the uninfected people and give medicine to the infected people. Whether they could survive depended entirely on luck.

Lin Yinan asked the two to do their best to treat the patient and ask someone to go back to the city to get anything he needed.

Doctor Lin and Yun Wu looked at each other, then they picked up their pens and quickly wrote down several lists, which contained medicinal materials for internal and external use.

Lin Yinan took out the prescription he had copied long ago from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the two of them.

"This is a recipe I saw in an ancient book. I wonder if it can be used?"

Doctor Lin took the prescription, squinted his eyes, and read it carefully. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became. "Wonderful! This prescription is really wonderful!"

After a while, he handed the prescription to Yun Wu who was confused.

"Look quickly!"

After Yun Wuliang finished reading it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This recipe works!"

Hearing him say this, Dr. Lin took back the several prescriptions he had written before, made some marks on them and wrote a new one.

"Then let's try this method. If it doesn't work, we can try another one."

With this ancient recipe, the two men gained greater confidence. Even if they could not be cured, at least it could allow them to live longer and suffer less pain.

Unfortunately, three people died on the day they moved in, before the medicine was ready.

Only then did Brother Pi and the others realize the seriousness of the matter.

They were really infected with a serious disease!

The next day, ten people died.

On the third day, thirty people died at once!

A mood of panic spread throughout all the warehouses. Doctor Lin and Yun Wu kept adjusting the prescriptions and prescribing the right medicine for each patient. They also fumigated the people in the wards twice a day, morning and evening, to kill fleas. In Lin Yinan's words, this was disinfection.

On the fourth day, the death toll from the epidemic began to decline.

As a result, other healthy people began to fall ill, including Pige.

After Dr. Lin and his colleagues continued to use medication, the lymph nodes of the patients with swollen necks gradually softened and then slowly dissipated.

The infected people gradually recovered, but Doctor Lin and Yun Wu knew that they could not take it lightly. Some patients with hemoptysis had a particularly long incubation period, and some did not show symptoms until the tenth day.

With the previous treatment experience, even if new symptoms arise, Dr. Lin and Yun Wu can deal with them easily.

As the refugees infected with the plague gradually recovered, the New Year passed quietly.

After further investigation, Lin Yinan learned from the refugees that the person who instigated them to come to Longtan was a young lady from the Zeng family in Cangwu County.

Adhering to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will retaliate double."

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Yinan asked Liu Ji to take a letter to the Deng family, asking him to help find out which young lady in the Zeng family disliked her so much.

Within two days, Liu Ji brought back the results of his investigation into the Deng family, and was accompanied by the family's eldest son Deng Shifa.

Deng Shifa told Lin Yinan the news he found in Cangwu County.

Years ago, it was a branch of the Zeng family who was responsible for distributing porridge outside the city gate.

That person had been to Longtan. Her family was Zeng Xiaofeng, who made ephedra paper.

Lin Yinan was stunned, "It turned out to be her!"

Could it be that she was taking the blame for Su Yunzhi's refusal to marry into the Zeng family upon herself?

"City Lord Lin knows her?"

Deng Shifa was a little surprised. When did Lin Yinan get to know the Zeng family's branch?

Lin Yinan told him that Zeng Xiaofeng wanted to marry Su Yunzhi.

"Hmph!" Deng Shifa sneered.

There was a period of time last year when he felt strange as to why Zeng Xiaofeng came to see his wife every two or three days. It turned out that she had this idea.

"It's no wonder they want to poach your people. The Zeng family only relies on the unique business of ephedra paper to maintain its superficial glory. Now that the sugarcane paper and bamboo paper made by your Longtan are not only of good quality but also cheap, who would want to buy the ephedra paper from Zeng's family?"

Lin Yinan suddenly realized, thinking about how serious the epidemic was, how could the Zeng family be safe and sound?

"I wonder how the Zeng family who provided porridge to the refugees are doing. Are they infected with the disease?"

Deng Shifa frowned. Fortunately, his father was smart and stopped distributing porridge in time when he realized something was wrong. Other families in the city were not as lucky as them.

He went on to say, "Zeng Xiaofeng was already infected with the disease before it broke out in Cangwu County. When the disease broke out, her illness became more and more serious."

"Is she dead?" Lin Yinan asked.

Deng Shifa: "No, the whole Zeng family was in a panic, fearing that they would be infected by her. So, under the pressure of the Zeng family, Zeng Xiaofeng was sent to a farm in the countryside. Now she is already terminally ill and she doesn't have much time left."

"Although Zeng Xiaofeng did good things, she had evil intentions and God will eventually punish her. I wonder what the situation is in Cangwu County?" Lin Yinan asked.

Deng Shifa looked gloomy. Now the epidemic was rampant in Cangwu County. Everyone in the city was in danger and people's livelihood was in decline.

"To be honest with City Lord Lin, I came here today for this very reason. I heard that Longtan has a good remedy to cure the plague, so I came here specifically to ask for help. I beg City Lord Lin to lend a hand and help Cangwu County overcome this difficulty."

Lin Yinan thought for a moment and said, "Master Deng, I'll take you to see the patient who is being treated."

The number of people infected with the disease in Longtan has been basically under control, and there have been no new cases of infection in recent days.

For this kind of epidemic disease, prevention and treatment must be combined. Doctor Lin and Yun Wu were very surprised by the prevention and treatment methods proposed by Lin Yinan. Doctors have never differentiated patients so carefully when treating diseases.

But it turns out that this method is very useful.

Plague is an extremely ferocious and highly contagious disease. In ancient times when there were no antibiotics, many people still died even if she had come up with the prescription early on.

What's more, Cangwu County, the source of the epidemic, has had countless people infected after the virus fermented and spread over this period of time.

This place is listed as a treatment warehouse. There is a high wall built outside and guards are guarding the door. People are not allowed to enter or leave at will.

Before entering the door, Lin Yinan handed Deng Shifa a mask made of cotton yarn, told him the function of the mask, and demonstrated to him how to wear it.

After entering the gate, several children were playing in the empty yard.

Looking at the children's cheerful laughter, Deng Shifa was a little confused. Is this really a place to treat epidemics?

When they arrived at the doctor's office, Yun Wu and Doctor Lin were preparing the medicinal materials to be used today with a few medicine boys.

Lin Yinan stated his purpose, and Yun Wu volunteered to take Deng Shifa to visit the ward.

The hospital wards here in Longtan are not like those in Cangwu County, where the air is polluted, patients cry and wailing, and people die from time to time.
