Chapter 463 Siege
Fever, cough.
In that epidemic, it seems that there was no symptom of rash, right?
The memory of the epidemic was too tragic, and Zhou Qing tried his best to calm down so as not to panic.
When an epidemic occurs, what is the first step to take?
isolation!
right!
Isolate first!
Don't spread!
"You have done a good job. Now you should immediately pick two capable people from Zhuangzi. Remember, the ones who are in good health and the ones who are loyal should guard the entrance of Zhuangzi. No outsiders are allowed in and no one inside is allowed to leave.
You don't need to take many people with you, just three or five. Remember, they must be healthy. Check all the people in Zhuangzi thoroughly. If anyone has a fever or cough, even if there is one of them, lock them up immediately.
Close alone. "
"No, madam, those few I locked up just now are already in a mood. If they are locked up again, there will definitely be trouble." The mother-in-law said anxiously.
Zhou Qing did not answer her immediately, but took the time to tell Li Er, "You should return to Beijing now, go to Shen Li immediately, and tell him that there may be a plague here, and the epidemic is likely to spread to Zhending and other surrounding places."
After a pause, Zhou Qing said again: "I'm not sure it's really a plague, but be careful."
She was really frightened by the plague that spread all over the world.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
What if it really is?
It's always a good idea to err on the side of caution.
Moreover, Shen Li is always more judgmental than her, so it is always right to tell Shen Li as soon as possible in this situation.
Li Er knew the seriousness of the plague, not to mention this was Kyoto, so he took the order and left without saying a word.
Zhou Qing added towards his back, "When you go back, protect your mouth and nose, and don't face people directly! After you report back to yourself, don't touch others again!"
Li Er had stayed at Zhuangzi, so he might have been infected.
Li Er hummed and disappeared.
Zhou Qing then said to the old lady: "Anyone found with a fever at home who is willing to be locked up for treatment will have free treatment. Zhuangzi will provide all food and drink expenses. Anyone who wants to cause trouble will be dealt with according to family laws."
Ming He didn't know when he stood beside Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing fell silent, and Ming He said calmly: "Take my people with you. If there is anyone who doesn't cooperate, I will rectify the law on the spot."
Her voice was gentle and gentle, but her momentum was unstoppable as soon as she spoke.
The aura of a royal princess, starting at 2.8 meters.
The woman was so scared that she trembled and looked towards Zhou Qing, asking for instructions from Zhou Qing.
Ming Hechao Zhou Qing said: "The plague spreads quickly. We don't have that much time to reason. If you want to survive, we will treat her. If you are stupid and uncooperative, we have no responsibility and obligation to be his parents!"
After saying that, Minghe directly ordered a maid behind him, "Go."
The maid took the order and walked behind the mother-in-law.
The princess said this, and the mother-in-law immediately took the maid and left.
Zhou Qing hurriedly added, "Cover your mouth and nose. Don't expose yourself directly, especially in front of patients!"
After giving the order, Zhou Qing turned to Minghe and Shi Yuexin and said, "I have to go check out the specific situation. You two should stay in this courtyard and don't come out. It's hard to say what the situation is outside."
Before Zhou Qing could say anything, Minghe held her hand.
"I am a royal princess, and there is no reason for me to hide myself under such circumstances."
Shi Yuexin also came over, "Let's go and see together."
The two of them had a firm attitude, and as time was running out and everything was still unclear, Zhou Qing did not dare to delay. He only told them to cover their mouths and noses and wash their hands frequently, and the three of them dispersed.
Fortunately, these are ordinary villagers here, and they and the people in front of them are very good at martial arts, so they will not be helpless in the event of a riot.
However, Zhou Qing still underestimated the people's panic.
Maybe they are not uncooperative, they are not bad, selfish or stupid, they are just simple and scared!
When a person is extremely frightened, he almost loses all rational judgment.
When the housekeeper took Minghe's maids from house to house to check if there were any symptoms of fever, these people had already guessed that there might be a plague.
This is terrible.
You must know that if a plague occurs and the treatment is not good, it is very likely that the entire city will be burned, besieged, and starved to death.
All these unknown conjectures encourage uneasy people. They are afraid of being imprisoned here, afraid of not receiving treatment, so they pack their things and want to run out of here as soon as possible.
Minghe's maids killed a few of them in an attempt to scare the monkeys, but to no avail.
Seeing the panicked crowd trying to scatter and run out of the village, Shi Yuexin rushed forward to stop them, not even caring about Zhou Qing's instructions to cover their mouths and noses.
"Don't panic, don't run, where can you go?
Didn’t your master say that? The sick will be treated for free!
What are you running for?
Come back to me!
stop!
If you run away, you will be cured or something! "
Shi Yuexin shouted at the top of her lungs, but no one could stop her.
An aunt, perhaps feeling sorry for her, stopped and advised, "Little girl, run away quickly. If you don't run away, there will be too many sick people here, and we won't even be able to survive."
"The government will take care of it and treat you." Shi Yuexin said anxiously.
In the panic, someone shouted: "What if there is no cure for this disease? Run away, you guys, before you get sick, run away!"
This voice shouted, and everyone ran faster.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing had someone guard the entrance and exit of the manor before. There was a blazing fire there, and the panicked crowd gathered here and couldn't get out at all.
However, they didn't want to go back.
They gathered together in a stalemate.
The most feared thing about the epidemic happened.
Minghe squeezed through the crowd, walked to the front, and shouted to the noisy crowd with the loudest voice she had ever used in her life.
"I am Princess Minghe!
The legitimate princess of His Majesty!"
She shouted hoarsely, and her identity had a deterrent effect, and the crowd suddenly became much quieter.
Minghe continued: "I know you are scared now. It happened suddenly. To be honest, I am also scared.
But I can promise you that from now on, I will not leave this village!
I will not leave until the plague is lifted!
Aren't you afraid of not getting treatment? Aren't you afraid of being trapped here to death?
I am here, what are you afraid of!
Is there no one to save me?"
Shi Yuexin also squeezed out of the crowd, and her panic and restlessness ruined her delicate makeup, and her bun was crooked.
"I am the granddaughter of the eldest princess. My grandmother will not ignore me. Don't worry, someone will come to save me.
Now listen to me, let's go back to our homes first, okay?
You also know that the plague is most afraid of gathering and infection!"
Shi Yuexin's voice has been hoarse.
The crowd quieted down.
However, the silence lasted for less than half a minute, and then someone shouted, "We won't know even if you run away!"
"Yes, trick us back now, and when things really get out of hand, someone will come to save you!"
"Don't believe them!"
"Who knows if you are the real princess! What are you doing here!"
The panic overwhelmed their reason again, and the crowd attacked Minghe and Shi Yuexin who were guarding the door.
