Chapter 404: Plague Village
Chapter 404: Plague Village
This is a man, probably around 30 years old, with skin ulcers all over his body and dark purple lips.
She carefully examined every part of his body again. Now she couldn't tell much from the surface. "What were your initial symptoms?"
Lian Zheng was still a little scared when looking at these corpses. He didn't dare to look when he saw her looking through them as if nothing had happened.
When she asked, he stammered, "At first, I felt weak and sore all over, then I had a headache and a fever, and then I had a fever and cough."
After Xia Wanniang finished examining this corpse, she turned to check the other corpses and said, "Go on."
Lian Zheng paused and continued, "Then small bumps appeared all over the body. At first they were a little stinging, and then they turned into pustules. They became more and more itchy. The more we scratched, the faster the skin ulcerated. We didn't dare to scratch anymore."
Xia Wanniang turned to look at Lian Zheng and pointed at the people on the ground: "How long did it take from the time they became ill to the time they died?"
Lian Zheng recalled seriously: "About fifteen days, some may take up to twenty days."
Xia Wanniang checked several more bodies and found that the superficial symptoms were the same: "Who was the first person to fall ill?"
Lian Zheng pointed to a corpse inside and said, "That's Wang Liu's family. Later, the whole family fell ill and no one survived. The corpses at the innermost part are theirs."
Xia Wanniang went to see the bodies of Wang Liu's family again and found that the corpses were much more severely rotten than the people she had just seen, but there was nothing special about the others.
She was not sure how the disease was spread, so she could only go and see if Manager Hong had any results.
The villagers wanted to survive, so they quickly divided the villagers up.
After she came out, she took off her gloves and threw them into the brazier to burn them. Then she took out some disposable alcohol to disinfect her hands and put on new gloves.
Lian Zheng watched from the side and didn't dare to say anything, he could only follow silently.
Shopkeeper Hong was taking the pulse of a seriously ill patient, his brows were almost twisted into knots, he had never seen a pulse like this before.
Xia Wanniang came in and took someone's hand to take his pulse, but there was no result. She then checked the person's eyes and tongue coating.
It looks very bad. It doesn't seem like a disease, but more like an infection with some virus.
If we continue to check in the same way as they do, I'm afraid we may not get any results even after everyone in the village dies.
Xia Wanniang looked at the people lying on the ground groaning. She could only use testing to quickly rule out some possibilities.
After taking their pulses, Manager Hong didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the yard next door for those with less severe illnesses.
Xia Wanniang did not go to the courtyard where the symptoms were milder. She looked in the direction of Maocheng, which might not be the main place where the disease broke out.
If the situation is so serious here, then the closer you are to Maocheng, the more serious the situation may be.
She couldn't waste time here: "Porphyry, help me find a place to set up a tent."
Porphyry had no questions and found a quiet place to set up the tent.
Xia Wanniang found the village chief and said, "First, the bodies cannot be left here or buried. They must be cremated. Second, the village needs to be disinfected every day. We will prepare disinfectants for you. Every yard must be sprayed every day, especially the yards where the patients live."
The village chief became agitated when he heard this: "Cremation! You can't cremate it!"
Xia Wanniang said in a cold tone: "If you don't cremate me, you will be buried with the whole village. When you die, I will still burn you with fire."
The village chief didn't know what to say when he heard this: "But how can I explain this to them?"
"First, if they are not cremated, these corpses will carry the virus and enter the ground, and will be spread into the water and land through the soil. Are you afraid that one kill will not be enough? Second, this is a way to eliminate the transmission route. You don't want to wait for the government to massacre the village, do you?" Xia Wanniang was not joking when she said this.
Tears welled up in the village chief's eyes. He knew that if the epidemic could not be cured, then the people in their village and Maocheng would have no way out.
He staggered towards the yard where the villagers were, and his already hunched back bent even further.
Xia Wanniang turned and entered the tent, exchanging various detectors in the space. Seeing the supplies in the space shrinking rapidly, she sighed helplessly.
