When the princess gets married, the general must not flee

Chapter 63 On the Road to Songyang County

On the way to Songyang County, the rain finally stopped, and Bai Xin and his friends saw a few refugees walking along the road.

Some were traveling with their families, some were traveling in pairs, and some were traveling alone. Bai Xin was very familiar with their clothing and appearance. Because the students taken in by Mount Li were all orphans and orphans that they had met on their medical tours two years ago and had no one to take care of them.

For these refugees, adults could still find some odd jobs to support themselves, but most children could only wait to die. The welfare mechanism at that time was not sound. If they were not sick, it would be okay. If their families were affected by disasters, they could still save their lives by fleeing far away. But if a plague occurred, there would be no way to survive.

So the reasons why Bai Xin and his team went south were, firstly, to conduct a medical inspection, and secondly, to find ways to help some refugees, and to help as many as they could.

"It seems that many places have already suffered from famine!" Bai Xin sighed.

"Hmm!" Seeing this scene, Li Ze couldn't help but tighten the reins and speed up the car.

"Whoa..." Only Li Ze's voice was heard, and soon the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xin asked curiously, "Why did you stop the car?"

"Look over there!" Li Ze pointed to the grass on the side of the road.

Bai Xin and Min'er looked in the direction he pointed and saw a person curled up in the grass by the roadside.

"Let's go down and take a look!" Bai Xin said.

Then several people put on masks and gloves and walked towards the man.

Judging from the man's clothes, he should be a refugee fleeing a disaster.

Li Ze squatted down and gently straightened the man's body.

"Ah!" Min'er screamed in fright and quickly hid behind Bai Xin.

The man's face was purple and black, his eyes were bulging, and he looked very ugly.

Li Ze touched his carotid artery and shook his head: "It looks like he's been dead for a while!"

Bai Xin also squatted down, observed carefully, and touched the man's hand. The residual temperature was very low and corpse spots had begun to form. There was no need to rescue him.

"There are no obvious external injuries. It seems that he died suddenly!" Bai Xin said regretfully.

"Sudden heart attack?" Li Ze guessed as he saw his purple face.

"I don't know. I just took a look at his body and saw some rashes. He must have had a fever before he died. We can only be sure through further autopsy." Bai Xin said calmly.

Li Ze looked at her helplessly. It's okay for this person to pick up people everywhere, but can he change his habit of picking up corpses everywhere? This 36-degree mouth said such cold words, which really made people feel uneasy.

Seeing her serious look, he could only shake his head and said: "Old rules, you should ask him first if he agrees!" Li Ze pointed at the lifeless person on the ground.

"Okay, Min'er, help me get my things!" Bai Xin ordered.

Min'er looked at her sadly and could only helplessly go and get her what she wanted.

In fact, it is just three incense sticks, a handful of paper money, and a pair of holy grails.

Li Ze looked at her things and just wanted to laugh: "You, a modern person, actually use traditional culture very well!"

"What can I do? They are all homeless refugees, and I can't find their families to agree. I can only ask him himself!" Bai Xin said seriously.

"Ah, yes, yes, so that's how you went to the mass grave and invited back a lot of cadaver teachers!" Li Ze lamented about what kind of work he had done with her.

"Well, what else can I do? I brought back these homeless souls, corpses lying in the wilderness, with their consent. If they don't agree, I will bury them out of kindness and let them rest in peace. It's a win-win situation anyway!"

"Okay, okay, you win, let's start!" Li Ze said helplessly.

Bai Xin covered the man's face with a white cloth, lit three incense sticks beside him, burned a handful of paper money, knelt down and kowtowed three times, then put his hands together and said:

"My daughter Bai Xin is a female doctor from Mount Li. I passed by this place and saw that you were buried here. I came to ask you if you are willing for me to take you back to the clinic and perform an autopsy to find out the cause of your death so that you can learn medical skills for the benefit of future generations. From now on, I will not ask about your past and will respect you as my teacher. If you are unwilling, I can also prepare a coffin for you and send you to a public tomb. I will throw the cup three times. If it is holy twice, it will be regarded as your consent. I hope you will make it clear."

After saying this, Bai Xin threw the Holy Grail three times, all of which were Yin and Yang, and then kowtowed to the man three times: "Thank you, teacher, for making a great sacrifice for the advancement of medicine!"

Then he said to Li Ze: "The teacher agreed. You can send a carrier pigeon to Songyang County to ask our people to come and take the teacher back. Remember to have them take precautions!"

Li Ze gave her a thumbs up. Ten times out of ten, he agreed. It seemed that there was some metaphysics in her.

But what Bai Xin said before was right, there is nothing more mysterious than their appearance in this world.

In their small clinic in Songyang County, Bai Xin and the doctor named Xia spent a whole day dissecting the cadaver teacher. Finally, they went into her laboratory to study for a whole day.

"How is it? Any conclusion? Or discovered something?" Li Ze saw her walking out with a serious expression and hurried forward to ask.

"Not very good. I extracted some cells from him and saw a virus under the microscope. It has a very strong reproductive capacity!" Bai Xin said worriedly.

"I need more cases to confirm whether this virus is contagious!"

"But the cadaver teacher did suffer from a high fever and hemorrhagic shock, which caused organ failure and circulatory disorders and he died."

"He also had a strong inflammatory reaction in his body, severe lung infection, swollen and ulcerated lymphadenitis, and an enlarged liver. I think it is likely that he had a respiratory disease, and it should still be highly contagious. I just don't know if there are other cases."

"If we bring it back here, will we get infected too?" Li Ze asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, but we have done some disinfection and disposable protection. We have burned all the things now, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

"I hope so!"

Li Ze wanted to say something when he saw Xia Yan running back from the door in a hurry.

"Why are you running so fast?" Bai Xin asked.

"Senior Sister, I heard that Pingyang Town, ten miles away, has been blocked by soldiers. People can only enter but not leave!" Xia Yan said breathlessly.

"Why is this?" everyone was puzzled.

"It is said that the refugees who came south were infected with the epidemic. The court had sent doctors to treat them a few days ago. However, in just a few days, more and more people have shown the same symptoms, and some have died within three to five days. The disease has progressed too quickly and the situation is out of control. The court decided to seal off Pingyang Town first to prevent the refugees from going to the capital."

"Also, I heard that a lot of people who died of the epidemic have been burned on a pile of firewood over there!"

After hearing this, everyone gasped and wondered if the cadaver they brought back had also died of the epidemic.
