Chapter 457 Li Shiyuan Arrives at the Epidemic Area
You know that the environment you are in is very dangerous, and you also know that you may be infected at any time, so you live in fear every day. You will be under double pressure both physically and mentally. Over time, the probability of infection will increase.
But there is a real shortage of manpower in the shed area.
Those who are taking care of patients in the shed today are those who had close contact with the patients in the past and need to be isolated. There are not many such people who are willing to take care of patients.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but Yu Jiusi hesitated for a moment and still rejected the woman's request: "No. You can't come in. The doctor hasn't found a way to prevent the spread of pestilence yet. If you come in, you'll just get sick."
The woman's eyes widened in disbelief. "You'll get sick if you go in? What about you? You're a general, why do you stay in there and not come out?"
Yu Jiusi smiled at her and said, "I am only in the shed area and rarely enter. No patients have died in the shed area now. Your brother should be young, right? He will be fine. You should leave quickly. When the doctor finds a way, maybe you can come in."
Although the woman was skeptical, she knew that she would not be able to get in today, so she had to leave reluctantly.
But in this world, there are some things that cannot be said - commonly known as avoiding prophecy.
Yu Jiusi felt like he was possessed.
"Lang Jiang! Lang Jiang!" The caretaker came in a hurry, his voice hoarse, "A patient in one shed suddenly started to convulse violently, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea!"
Yu Jiusi suddenly forgot to breathe.
"Hua Xie" is an elegant name. In folk terms, it means fecal incontinence, unconsciously emptying one's trouser pocket.
Doctor Zhang told him that if a patient's condition progressed to this point, it would be extremely critical, and the next step might be... death.
He had also read in military books that "morale" was like "disease". If a sick person saw someone with the same disease die, the disease would spread to every part of his body.
The disease has not yet arrived, but the pathogenic factors have arrived first. The more afraid the sick person is, the more severe the pathogenic factors will be.
To put it simply, the patient might be scared to death by himself, so this is definitely not a good start.
Yu Jiusi calmed down and ran to a shed, asking as he ran, "Did you call Doctor Zhang?"
"He's gone!" The caretaker ran as fast as he could to catch up with him. "I notified Doctor Zhang first. Doctor Zhang went there first."
"here you go."
Yu Jiusi had taken off his heavy armor two days ago in order to deal with emergencies. Now he was moving very fast and arrived at the door of a shed in just a few moments.
"General, please wait!" The soldier at the door suddenly reached out to stop him and said, "Doctor Zhang said that this patient is seriously ill, so please don't come in."
Yu Jiusi frowned and looked at the tightly closed door curtain, struggling in his heart.
Various sounds came from inside, including the patient's unconscious groans, the frightened howls of other patients, and the panicked cries for help from the caregivers and family members.
"He's dying! He's dying! Take him out, take him out quickly and leave him there. Don't let us pass on the death to him! I don't want to die yet!"
"Doctor! Please! Please save my man! He is the pillar of the family, he cannot die, please..."
In times of crisis, people are always selfish, which is understandable.
But there was still a surge of anger in Yu Jiusi's heart, and he couldn't help but raise his legs and took two steps closer to the door curtain.
"General!" The soldier was horrified and knelt on the ground with his fists clasped together, his face full of pleading: "General, I beg you... listen to the doctor's advice and don't come in!"
Doctor Li just said that the infectiousness of the disease in seriously ill patients is much stronger than that of ordinary patients.
Therefore, even if he might get sick today and face death like that patient, he would guard the door tightly and not let Lang Jiang go in to take risks.
Yu Jiusi was stopped by him and could not move forward.
Tears flashed in the eyes of the soldiers, but they still said stubbornly: "Please stop!"
Yu Jiusi clenched his fists and stood and knelt with him, confronting him.
After a moment, Yu Jiusi sighed and said, "Get up. I won't go in. I'll just wait at the door."
"Thank you, General!" The soldiers stood up, but fearing that he would cheat, they still stood at the door of the shed and closed the door curtain tightly.
Yu Jiusi had no choice but to prick up his ears and listen carefully to the movements in the shed.
Just as the shed was in chaos, someone rushed in and said, "General, there's a message from outside the shed. Team leader Ding brought a few people here. They said they came from Liuyang Mansion, and there's an old doctor among them!"
The three words "Liuyang Mansion" were like the scorching sun in a cold winter, driving away the chillness from Yu Jiusi's body.
His eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Do you have a token?"
"Yes!" The man took out a piece of letter from his arms, and saw the envelope was stamped with the seal of Tongan County.
Tongan County!
Yu Jiusi certainly knew Tongan County—the most promising county in the entire Liuyang Prefecture! He was ordered to come here this time, and initially he was here to protect the food in Tongan County.
He held the letter in his hand, his heart pounding. "Send the order out, let them into the village immediately, bring them here! I will wait for them at the entrance of the shed area!"
He raised his legs and walked towards the door, analyzing the situation all the way.
If Liuyang Prefecture hadn't sent a doctor, he might have thought that this epidemic was just a simple post-disaster epidemic, but... his father or grandfather, who was far away in Liuyang Prefecture, had already anticipated the situation in Changnan Prefecture, which meant...
This epidemic, like Ning Shunyou's evidence of guilt, is suspicious.
Who on earth wanted to harm his Yu family? Perhaps he would know after reading the letter, but saving people was the most important thing right now, not the time to read the letter.
The shed was deliberately set up not far from the village entrance so that medicinal materials and doctors could arrive as quickly as possible.
Yu Jiusi only waited for a moment at the exit of the shed area before he saw several people coming on horseback. He thought the dust raised by the horses' hooves was very beautiful.
"Uu——"
Several people dressed strangely dismounted at the entrance of the shed area. The leader took a deep look inside the shed area and breathed a sigh of relief. "Meet General Yu. I am Li Shiyuan, from Tong'an County, Liuyang Prefecture. I am here on the orders of Lord Shen and Lord Bo to assist General Yu in preventing and controlling the epidemic."
Li Shiyuan deliberately emphasized the four words "came here on orders", and Yu Jiusi immediately understood the meaning of his words.
If this epidemic had not been premeditated, why would my grandfather, who was far away in Liuyang Prefecture, have ordered people to come?
It seems that the current situation in Changnan Prefecture is just as he had guessed. Beneath the calm surface, there are turbulent undercurrents.
After confirming this, Yu Jiusi clenched his cheeks, wishing he could stab the culprit through with a sword.
He suppressed his anger, thought for a moment, and said through the fence at the door: "Thank you for coming all the way here, Doctor Li. As you can see, Jimu Village is now infected with an epidemic, and there are only two doctors in the village. One is preventing and treating the epidemic outside the shed area, and the other is treating patients inside the shed area..."
Although he didn't know much about Li Shiyuan's medical skills, the doctor sent by his grandfather was not an ordinary person.
So his original intention in saying this was to give Li Shiyuan the opportunity to choose whether to focus on the inside or the outside. After all, "isolation" does not mean that there are no patients outside the shed area. At certain times, the defense of the "safe zone" even needs to be tighter than that inside the zone.
