Chapter 140 Hexagram Image
The patriarch took grandma to live in the Jing'an Hall of the clan, which is a place similar to a nursing home run by the Fu clan.
Of course, some elderly people can go there if they don't want to live with their children.
According to the regulations of the clan, each family should donate a part of money, food and materials to Jing'an Hall every year.
Usually everyone also has a division of labor, and will go to do some things regularly.
In addition, people also like to go there to chat and so on in their spare time.
It has become the second meeting place for clansmen besides the Spirit Turtle Temple.
And there, people are more free to speak freely and talk about family matters.
For Qingu, she became very leisurely.
Familiar with the surrounding environment, she quickly integrated into or accepted this kind of life from the heart.
She continued to take care of the melons, fruits and vegetables on several pieces of land. Apart from practicing martial arts and reviewing medical skills every day, she went to the nearby mountains to collect herbs.
If conditions permit, transplant the seeds into the yard.
As soon as she was free, she asked Xiao Z to display the previously recorded images and study them carefully.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Qingu's martial arts finally hit the road, both in terms of skill and perception, he was much more agile than ordinary people.
On this day, two villagers carried a person to the temple with sliding poles.
Qingu rushed out to greet him. The patient was a middle-aged man in his 30s and 40s, who seemed to be in good health.
After checking, Qingu frowned slightly.
If she was not mistaken, the man's illness was a plague!
Qingu quickly told the two villagers to back away, took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills, and told them to take it immediately.
The villagers were frightened by Qingu's appearance: "Saint, saint, what's wrong with Ash?"
Qingu quickly took another pill, and then asked: "When did he become like this?"
One of the villagers: "...Yesterday...in the afternoon, we were digging in the field, but he suddenly said he felt unwell, so we asked him to rest. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep on the edge of the field. We called it a day. Wake him up...he woke up, although he looked a little dazed, but he still walked back. But this morning, his wife called us...we saw him already like this, Then it was picked up right away."
Ash's wife has to take care of two children at home, and she is pregnant with another child. The mountain road is rugged, and it must be unbearable to go back and forth.
So let her wait at home.
And these two villagers, one is a neighbor and the other is a cousin.
Qingu checked the patients again. People in this valley are very self-disciplined, and there is no source of pollution, so this plague is definitely not produced in the valley, but brought in from outside.
Qingu asked: "Before yesterday, had he been to other places?"
"Oh, he went to Gaoling Town to buy some things the day before yesterday..."
"Does the saint suspect that his illness was brought in from outside?"
"But he was all right when he came back?"
Qingu said: "It's very possible. By the way, besides you who moved him, who else has contacted him?"
The two said: "If we were working in the field yesterday, there would be only the He family besides us, and then there would be his family members..."
Qingu hummed, "He'll just leave it here for the time being, later you guys will take me to those houses..."
The two nodded in agreement.
Qingu melted the pills in warm water again, fed them to the patient, and injected the plague poison again.
Ash's condition improved, so let him take him in the hall and not go anywhere.
He woke up a little bit, and knew about his condition. He was very worried about whether he would infect his wife and children, and he seemed very anxious. He wanted to go home with Qingu and the others to have a look.
Qingu said: "You are now a moving source of disease. Since I can save you from such a serious condition, I will definitely be able to save your wife and children. But if you don't listen to persuasion now and insist on going, It is very likely that they will be double-infected, and when the situation gets worse, it may be difficult to cure. Do you still want to go?"
...After finishing Ash, Qingu went back to bring a few medicine packs and made full preparations. The two villagers hurriedly took Qingu to the house they had contacted before.
After all this tossing, it was evening, and Qingu was very tired.
Fortunately, I came in time.
Because those people also had some signs, and they were exhausted, and they were about to fall out of bed after they finished.
After dealing with all this, the old patriarch hurried over to find Qingu, he was very concerned about the illness of the clansman this time.
Qingu said: "The illness has been brought under control. According to preliminary estimates, it is likely to be brought back from the outside. So I suggest that everyone should not go out of the valley until the situation is clarified."
The patriarch responded again and again.
Then they gathered the people in the clan and held an emergency meeting. One is to tell everyone not to go out of the valley, and the other is to go to the Spirit Turtle Temple immediately to find the saint if they feel the slightest discomfort.
Two days later, Ash recovered.
Qingu asked: "Tell me about what happened the day you went to Gaoling Town. No matter what it is, just tell me in detail what you saw, heard, and touched on the road."
Ash's wife was standing next to her, urging her again and again: "Tell me quickly, you have to tell the saint no matter what. You don't know if it's not the saint this time, I, me... woo..."
Ash hurriedly comforted his wife, "Okay, I see, I said, I said it's okay."
Ashi recalled: "That day I wanted to go to the market town to buy some cloth for their mothers to make clothes, and I drove the donkey cart in the village to go there. It was normal when I went, but when I was in the market town, I I saw two beggars on the street. I, I felt very pitiful at the time, so I gave them two steamed buns... Probably because they were really hungry and panicked, they snatched the steamed buns and returned them. almost grabbed my hand..."
"Except for this incident, nothing happened."
Qingu repeated: "Two beggars? Were there used to be many beggars in Gaoling Town?"
Before Ash could answer, the people next to him chattered and said, "No way, here are people from the neighborhood, and everyone basically knows something. Who would go begging on the street?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen it before. Even if there is, it's impossible to grab something from someone's hand and scratch him..."
Ash showed his hand, and found that there were indeed two inconspicuous marks on the back of his hand. After all, he was a farmer, and he often bumped and bumped. It was not that precious, so if Qingu hadn't asked so carefully, it would have been impossible. Think of this crop.
Gu Zhong's illness was completely controlled by Qingu from the very beginning, but if it was really Ash who brought him back from Gaoling Town.
According to the rapidity of the onset, I am afraid that other people in the town have already been infected.
