"What's happening here?"

This is the street where Li Jue Medical Center is located. Checkpoints have been set up at the intersections entering the street, and cloth has been used to block the view so that no one can see what is inside.

Seeing this strange scene, Ma Qiang looked at Zhang Sheng.

"Doctor Li's place has been turned into a place for receiving patients. I'm going to talk to the general guarding here." Zhang Sheng took out his seal and found the guarding officer here. After a while, Li Yan, who was wearing a mask, left.

When I came out and saw Ma Qiang, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Ma, you are finally here!"

"No one is allowed to take off their masks without my order!" Ma Qiang saw Li Yan approaching and shouted first, asking everyone to put on their masks. Then Ma Qiang got off his horse and said in return, "Doctor Li, you have done a good job...

Can I not come? How is the situation now?"

"Let's go in and talk...it's hard to explain in words." Li Yan sighed, stretched out his hand and said.

Ma Qiang turned around and ordered, "Guo Jin, you and Yan Rou take the carriage to our store to store it, and then close the store and wait for my instructions. The others will come in with me."

A group of people walked into the street, and Ma Qiang found that the street had been turned into a shelter. The smell of medicine rushed into his nose, and the painful moans of patients could be heard everywhere. Halfway through, a burst of crying suddenly came out.

After a while, two sergeants carried a man out. Seeing this scene, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of plague is this? How many people are there already? With such a big thing happening, why don't you close the city and let the people run around? Running around at this time is tantamount to expanding the scope of the plague. Doctor Li, you don't understand.

These, right?”

Hearing Ma Qiang's question, Li Yan cupped his hands and sighed, "I'm pretending to be a doctor. A few days ago, someone suddenly brought an old woman to the county to see a doctor. She died before she could be seen. The doctor also had experience.

Rich found that the man also had symptoms, so he suspected it was the plague. Then he found me. After I diagnosed him as the black plague among the plagues, I reported it to Prefect Liu.

When Liu Taishou learned that there might be a plague in the city, he immediately wanted to escape from the city. Later, he learned that the disease had come from outside, so he never came out of the prefect's house again.

Governor Guo ordered to block the news and treat our place as an isolation area and send all the sick people here. In just a few days, no less than 300 people were lying here! According to my estimate, there are probably 300 people in the city who are sick.

No less than five hundred."

They both have the surname Liu, so the difference is really big.

Ma Qiang glanced at Liu Bei, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see the patient first. You guys can stay outside."

"Sir, Bei also wants to go with you." Liu Bei suddenly said with his hand.

"Xuande...that's all, let's go together." Ma Qiang thought that Liu Bei was one of the rarest people in history, and he thought he would not die young.

"Brother is going, and so am I." Zhang Fei walked in first, and Ma Qiang shook his head and followed.

Arriving at a ward, Li Yan introduced, "This black plague is extremely vicious. The body is hot and cold, the eyes are bloodshot, and the body is stained. Sometimes there is polyuria, sometimes oliguria, and eventually death without treatment."

Ma Qiang examined it carefully and saw that the patient was indeed the same as what Li Yan had introduced. He frantically looked through his memories in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what kind of disease it was.

To put it bluntly, the so-called plague is an infectious disease, but most infectious diseases in later generations have disappeared due to the advancement of vaccines and sanitary conditions. Only severe infectious diseases like the Black Death and smallpox will be treated as after-dinner foods like legends.

Let's chat.

"No...I don't know why I'm sick." Ma Qiang frowned and shook his head.

"Didn't Dr. Li say it's black plague?" Zhang Fei said anxiously.

"Black plague is just a simple term. It's just like when a person is sick and has a fever, but there can be many reasons for a fever, such as bacterial infection, viral infection, and there are countless types of bacteria and viruses... If you can't

Knowing the detailed cause of the disease, there is no targeted treatment, and the only way is the most cruel isolation treatment."

"What is isolation treatment?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Ma Qiang looked at Liu Bei and said slowly, "Isolate the healthy people from the sick people, and isolate the healthy people from each other. When the sick people die, this plague will be over."

"This...isn't this what kind of rescue?" Zhang Fei almost jumped up after hearing this.

"This is indeed a way. If we do this from the beginning, I'm afraid not many people will die in the end, but it is no longer possible, and this disease is already present in every county." Li Jue was calmer than Zhang Fei.

Duo, this is not the first time he has faced the plague, so he naturally knows that it is right to sacrifice the small to protect the big in the face of the plague.

In fact, most plagues in ancient times were ended through isolation. If a county was established, a county would be isolated, and if a state capital was established, a state capital would be isolated. The result of this seemingly cold-blooded approach was that as long as there were no heroes in ancient China

The separatist regime will not lose a large number of people due to the plague.

Of course, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is also extremely important in dealing with ancient plagues. Regardless of whether it is effective every time, it is more reliable than burning witches to pray for blessings.

At this time, Ma Qiang suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. A warrior wearing a mask came in and said, "Mr. Ma, the governor has arrived and is waiting for you outside. By the way, Lieutenant Zhang, your wife is also sick."

Now, let’s go back and have a look later.”

"What? Guo Yuan, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Sheng was completely confused.

"How could I be joking about this! The one who fell ill yesterday was originally supposed to be sent here, but your wife said she would wait for you to come back." Guo Yuan replied.

"Madam...Madam..." Zhang Sheng suddenly panicked. Since the bad breath got better, his relationship with Lu Ning has improved a lot, and he has regained a lot of the feeling he had when he was a teenager.

Ma Qiang let out a breath. No matter what, Li Yan at least spread the word about wearing masks. Although the people don't know it yet, these officials are well protected anyway.

Although this kind of mask cannot really completely block the virus, it is much better than leaving the mouth and nose exposed.

After all, there are no N95 masks in this era.

"Lieutenant Zhang, don't be anxious. If you got sick yesterday, you still have time. Let's go. Let's go see Mr. Guo first. In any case, if we want to solve this plague, we need his help." Ma Qiang waved his hand and said.

"Sir, didn't you say there's nothing you can do?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but wonder.

"There are no difficulties to be solved, and there are difficulties to be solved. With so many people lying here, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor." Ma Qiang felt a little headache. At this time, all the physics and chemistry knowledge he was proficient in were not used.
