Chapter 1072 Onset of Illness
Those three families were naturally unwilling to be left behind.
Even now, I insist on going back to the past.
The three households were paired with the two households above them, a difference in the number of people, plus the previous mutual assistance.
The two families eventually agreed.
However, I have one request.
Anyone who is sick is strictly prohibited from being brought to the vicinity.
They even forbade those who had been there from having any further contact with the sick.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with this request.
But the three households hesitated.
The people who got sick were their parents and children!
If we really ignore them, they're doomed.
Moreover, the families that have managed to survive the chaos in the mountains are generally those with strong bonds and good internal unity.
This puts them in a difficult position.
This situation is not unique to this place.
Many families on the mountain are in trouble.
Some chose to stay and take care of their families, while others hardened their hearts and abandoned them to save the rest of the people!
In short, the refugees who had just enjoyed a few days of peace on the mountain were plunged into trouble once again.
Unfortunately, very few of the refugees had any medicinal herbs.
Those who stayed behind to take care of their families only helped them boil some hot water and feed them.
In addition, they help clean the soiled clothes.
And the rest can only rely on themselves to heal.
However, the distribution of refugees in the mountains was disrupted once again due to malaria.
Meanwhile, Old Man Zhuang selected potentially useful medicinal herbs from those provided by the people in the camp.
After a proper formulation, the medicinal herbs were prepared and decocted.
During the cooking process, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the outhouse area at the far end of the camp.
Bai Song and Lu Qingqing, wearing masks, were discussing how to proceed.
Upon hearing this, they rushed over.
In the outhouse area, a rather tall man lay sprawled beside the latrine.
Bai Song recognized the man as a guard from Shi Yingguang's group.
He told the crowd watching from a distance to disperse, and then called over Shi Yingguang.
When Shi Yingguang saw the man faint, he tightened his mask and called to a man who was on good terms with the man to help him up.
Seeing that the man was still gushing out, the two of them were in a bit of a predicament.
"The medicine soup will be ready in a while!"
Let's set up a shed here and settle this person here!
Let's see how it goes after you take the medicine!
Shi Yingguang readily agreed.
Given the current situation, it's impossible for him to bring anyone into the camp.
It's already quite good that we can be settled here!
Old Zhuang also heard the commotion and rushed over.
He put on two more masks before going forward to examine her.
Looking at the numerous swollen bumps covering the man's body, he said to Shi Yingguang:
"Who usually lives with this person? Call them over so I can ask them about the situation!"
At this moment, the guard who was helping the person spoke up.
"Dr. Zhuang, I have been living with Shuanzi."
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
You absolutely have to save Shuanzi! He's only seventeen!
Old Zhuang agreed.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to save him."
I've already started brewing the herbs. Once it's ready, I'll give it to him first.
Now let me ask you, why does Shuanzi have so many swollen bumps on his body?
Didn't the camp distribute mugwort before?
Upon hearing this, the guard sighed.
“We light them every day at our tent.”
Professor Shi had told us this before, and everyone has been very careful about it.
I kill any mosquitoes I see.
Yesterday, Shuanzi went to the outhouse but didn't bring any mugwort because he thought it was too much trouble.
When she got back, she complained to me that she was covered in mosquito bites!
I don't know if this is the reason.
Oh, right, we were on duty at the stone wall yesterday.
Could it be that they got infected there?
When Old Zhuang heard what he said, he checked the area behind the sash again and found that there were indeed more mosquito bites there.
While they were talking, someone had already moved the shed over and lit mugwort around it.
After washing his hands with bath soap, Old Zhuang instructed the people who had been in close contact with Shuanzi to wash themselves clean as well.
Then, everyone retreated to the back of another shed.
Old Zhuang looked at Lu Qingqing.
"Qing'er, tell me about the plague you experienced before, what were the symptoms?"
