327 We Shouldn’t Be Infected by the Plague, Right?
Hunter Zhang was covered in vomit. He took off his cotton robe immediately. “What’s that on the village chief’s body?!”
“It’s the cadaveric rash. He’s already been infected by the plague,” Gu Qingxue stared at the old village chief and asked, “If nothing unexpected happened, village chief, you should have started to get acne from last night, right? Why didn’t you tell Master Fu in advance?”
After the old village chief was infected with the cadaveric rash, he was like a walking source of infection. Anyone who came into contact with him had a high chance of getting sick.
The village chief looked extremely pained. He panted and said, “I wanted to tell them, but no one wanted to be locked up. If I, if I told them, I would drag them down…”
Gu Qingxue did not agree with what the village chief said, she let out a long sigh helplessly. “Before the onset of the disease, no one can leave the tie family village. The vomit of sick people is highly contagious. Master Fu, take the time to deal with it immediately.”
Fu Cheng quickly did as he was told.
It was said that the disease came as fast as a falling mountain. Seeing the village chief, who had been safe and sound just now, fall down just like that, the crowd was shocked. They formed a circle and watched the scene anxiously.
None of them wanted to go out anymore. Without exception, they began to worry about their safety.
Even the arrogant and domineering Madam Peng had calmed down. She asked Gu Qingxue carefully, “Doctor Gu, we shouldn’t be infected by the plague, right? There are old and young people in my family. I can’t have anything happen to me.”
“Everyone, go back to your own place first.” Rong Zhan signaled with his eyes. Then, Rong Zhan’s secret guards used the disinfectant given by Gu Qingxue to help Gu Qingxue and the old village chief disinfect first.
“Everyone, go back and check on yourself and your family first. If you have vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, and marks on your limbs, you can be sure that you are infected. Only by treating the initial stage of the infection can you save your life. Therefore, no one should delay the treatment. Once the disease officially starts, I can’t guarantee that the treatment will be successful,” Gu Qingxue reminded everyone with a cold expression.
In fact, things were not as terrible as Gu Qingxue said. She had already developed a drug to suppress the disease. At the very least, it could delay the disease for a long time, so that the villagers who were already infected with the plague would not die immediately.
She said this to make the villagers nervous so that they would not lie about being safe and delaying the disease. When that happened, not only would the treatment be delayed, but the most important thing was that it might cause more innocent people to be infected, leading to the spread of the plague.
Hearing this, the villagers who were not cooperating immediately became nervous.
There were still people like Hunter Zhang in the crowd. He looked at Gu Qingxue uneasily and asked, “When can we leave the village? If we continue to delay like this, our family will not be able to survive for long.”
Before Gu Qingxue could say anything, Rong Zhan’s secret guards had already walked over with bags of rice.
“I will be in charge of everything here.” Rong Zhan had expected this to happen. He did not panic in the face of the villagers’ questions and calmly responded to them.
Seeing this, the villagers who had been worried all this time finally felt relieved. Then, they went home one by one to check on themselves and their families.
Gu Qingxue immediately ordered people to calm the old village chief. Then, she and Rong Zhan worked together to distribute a large number of masks, gloves, and disinfectants to ensure that every household had enough protective items to use.
When Rong Zhan asked the secret guards to send the protective equipment, he even sent rice noodles to every household. Gu Qingxue could not help but be curious, “When did Your Royal Highness prepare these?”
