Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Different Symptoms
"People who generally have good health might recover a bit faster when they encounter the flu like this, and not only that, but their symptoms might also be fewer."
"However, if someone’s usual health is very poor, trying to get better quickly under these circumstances might be very difficult, and the symptoms might also vary widely."
"But no matter what, I will definitely do my best to help you recover faster, to ensure that you take your medication on time. I believe there shouldn’t be too much of a problem."
After Liu Zheng said this, everyone finally had a general understanding of the situation.
At that moment, everyone nodded in agreement.
Right now, the situation was indeed very important.
They would surely take good care of their health; it was not something to joke about.
Now that everything had been explained so clearly, they couldn’t just stay here indefinitely, and so they took their medicine and left.
Moreover, nearly everyone was wearing a mask.
After waiting to advise each person carefully, they finally began to leave the place one by one.
What really surprised Liu Zheng, though, was the source of this virus—where had it come from?
Until recently, everyone was doing fine. Then, seemingly overnight, a large number of new patients emerged, which was indeed quite baffling.
But fortunately, their current symptoms weren’t very severe, and they could at least alleviate them slightly with medication.
Had it been left unattended for longer, it might have led to some very unfavorable situations.
As he was pondering these matters, suddenly a knock sounded at the door from outside.
Initially, he had thought since he’d been busy for so long, he should rest first; it was also lunchtime.
Unexpectedly, someone showed up at this time.
He couldn’t possibly turn people away, and considering the morning’s situation, he was genuinely surprised and unsure of what was going on.
If it were the same situation, he would definitely provide proper treatment.
So he quickly opened the door to let the person in.
But to his surprise, the ones who entered were Li Yanling and Xiao Kai.
At that moment, Xiao Kai looked extremely weak.
Li Yanling, on the other hand, was very anxious.
"Oh no, please help me see what’s wrong with him. He’s been having a continuous cold and fever since last night."
She did not expect to be facing such a situation.
"Sit down first; I will prescribe some medicine for him."
Before long, Liu Zheng had written a prescription for him.
And he had him take a dose on the spot.
Li Yanling, who was watching, appeared very panicked. She had never imagined that such a thing would happen so suddenly.
"What on earth is going on? He was fine just yesterday, and his health has been good recently."
As she voiced this concern, Liu Zheng immediately responded.
"It seems to be some kind of flu. This morning, a large group of patients with the same symptoms as him came to see me, some even more severe."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanling was incredibly astonished.
It was mainly because there had been no such illness in their area for a long time.
How could there suddenly be a flu outbreak?
"But we haven’t had the flu here in a long time,"
how could it suddenly break out at this critical moment? This seems a bit too strange."
After saying this, the man in front of him immediately nodded, as he indeed had the same thought.
"Yes, I’ve been thinking about this too."
Especially because such things hadn’t occurred in the village for quite some time.
The sudden, inexplicable emergence of these incidents also surprised him.
"But if it’s not the flu, the only other possibility is poisoning."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanling’s eyes widened like copper bells, and she opened her mouth, but ultimately, she didn’t know what to say.
"Let’s just hope it is the flu."
If it were poison, the situation could become even more severe.
"It should just be the flu, because if it were poison, the entire village would likely have been affected by now, and there would be no survivors."
He could see the worry in Li Yanling’s eyes, so he quickly raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, speaking reassuringly.
He didn’t want her to worry too much at this moment.
"And don’t worry too much,"
Xiao Kai is in good health and should recover in a couple of days."
"And make sure to take good care of yourself, as this may be contagious. It’s better to wear a mask and not to share bowls and chopsticks with him."
"If you fall ill, then Xiao Kai will have no one to look after him."
How could Li Yanling not be clear about what she should do?
As a mother, she knew how vitally important all of this was to her.
Her child was lying there sick, and if she were to have any issues now, there’d be no way she could properly care for her child.
"Alright, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of myself."
"But you also need to look after yourself during this time; don’t catch any illness."
Regarding this, Liu Zheng really had nothing to worry about.
Even if everyone else got sick, it was impossible for him to fall ill.
He was very confident in himself, and he was a medic, after all.
Moreover, the things he had developed recently would certainly sustain him for a while.
"Alright, stop worrying about me and just take good care of yourself. Now take Xiao Kai back to rest, and don’t send him to school for the next few days."
Having heard this, Li Yanling understood what she needed to do.
Even if Liu Zheng hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t have sent Xiao Kai to school while he was sick.
After Liu Zheng gave her serious instructions, she finally left with Xiao Kai, heading back home.
The clinic was empty at that moment, so he quickly made himself something to eat, wanting to have some lunch.
Mainly because he had a bad feeling.
Even he didn’t understand why.
He just felt something was off.
But what exactly? He couldn’t quite articulate it in the short term.
Perhaps it was because of all the recent events that had left him very tired.
But no matter what, he wouldn’t give up trying to save everyone.
