The reborn miracle doctor used cheats, and the prince loved him

Shen Qin asked Xiaohu to gather people, while she and other colleagues picked up stones and threw them at the rats on the river.

However, it was a drop in the bucket and only a few dozen were sunk. Soon, the rats in front began to board the river embankment one after another. The scene was no less than a beach landing battle conducted by tens of thousands of soldiers. It was dark and terrifying. .

Everyone used various methods to deal with these densely packed rats, waving torches to drive them away, slashing with swords, and kicking them, but it was still difficult to restrain them. The wet rats swarmed ashore one after another like crazy.

"They must have been floating for a long time and knew they would drown if they didn't come ashore!"

As Shen Qin spoke, he shook off the wet mice that crawled on him and used a mop to drive away the mice scurrying around.

"How can we get this out? Dr. Shen, are you sure that the pimple plague is related to these rats? Wu Youke didn't mention it in his plague theory!"

Feining said while driving away the mice.

He has been living in the capital and has almost no contact with pimple plague. His understanding of the disease is still in books, and he has some doubts about Shen Qin's theory.

Shen Qin explained breathlessly.

"The Treatise on Plagues says that plagues are diseases that are not caused by wind, cold, heat, or moisture, but are caused by the foreign air between heaven and earth. This foreign air is bacteria..."

"what!"

While Feining was distracted "listening to the lecture", a mouse was stepped on by his tail. In pain, it jumped up and bit his ankle, causing blood to ooze from his white feet and clothes.

"These rats are so cruel!"

Feining wanted to crush the mouse that bit him, but it was so dense that he couldn't tell which one was which.

Shen Qin said.

"Everyone, be careful not to be bitten by mice, and be sure to cover your mouth and nose."

Zhang Shensuan said while waving a torch to drive away rats.

"There are so many, we just can't deal with them."

Just when everyone was at a loss, reinforcements arrived.

"Quick!"

Xiaohu arrived with a group of soldiers. They moved haystacks with low tide, spread them on the shore for a long time, and lit them with torches, forming a thick wall of smoke.

When the rats saw the fire ahead, they did not dare to move forward. They crowded into a small place on the shore, were in a dilemma, and squeaked.

Some rats that were still swimming in the water saw this and sank in panic.

The crowd began to throw stones, throw torches, shout loudly, and drive the rats into the water. They also pushed piles of burning tobacco to further reduce the space for the rats to get ashore.

The rats were frightened and began to run back, trampling on each other. The rats still in the water also lost their original order. After struggling for a while, they gradually sank into the water. Everyone continued to drive them away, pouring wine and oil, stabbing with swords, etc. It wasn't until the rat army was almost wiped out that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bury the corpses of these rats on the spot, then sprinkle them with borax and vinegar and disinfect them. No one is allowed to approach the river bank within 30 days. If any of you are bitten by rats, you will go into the quarantine area on your own. Feining, it's okay. …”

Shen Qin knelt down and wanted to see his wounds.

Feining still had some suspicion towards Shen Qin, so he took a step back and said.

"No, no, no, I can take care of this minor injury. I don't really believe that you can get pimples from being bitten by a rat. I've been bitten by a rat before, so it's okay. If you say quarantine, I will cooperate with you, but if I If you don’t get sick, it will prove that your theory was made up by yourself.”

Just when Shen Qin was about to explain in detail, he saw Huang Zhao coming after hearing the news. When he saw the dead rats lying all over the ground and the river, Huang Shao couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"This kind of thing happens all the time in famines. The mice just migrate because they are hungry! Whatever they do, it's disgusting."

Shen Qin said.

"General Huang, this plague is a disease shared by humans and rats. These rats may be the source of the epidemic. If plague rats have entered Xuzhou before, the situation is very critical. It is very likely that the plague has begun to spread in Xuzhou City. Woke up."

Huang Zhao originally had a problem with Shen Qin and couldn't listen to people's words at all. He put his hands on his hips and preached loudly.

"I heard that this plague didn't cause big pimples on the body, bleeding and ulceration? This general sealed the city early, and we have never heard of a patient like this in the city!"

He pointed at Shen Qin again and scolded.

"General, I see that you want to use such nonsense to evade responsibility. Rats are rats and people are people. How can people get the same disease as rats? It's you, you are the only one who let those Tangzhou people in. Something really happened. You take full responsibility!”

Shen Qin suppressed the anger in her heart and explained.

"This disease has an incubation period, and the symptoms are very subtle at first, much like an external infection, cough, headache, etc., and are easily ignored by people. Measures need to be taken immediately to isolate suspected patients!"

Huang Zhao woke up and said disapprovingly

"There is no rain at the beginning of spring, and it is hot and cold. Many people are suffering from external infections. Even my general has a stuffy nose. There are countless people in the army and among the people. Is it all a pimple plague? If everyone is isolated, who will be able to defend the city? Door? Who is still growing food? There was already a famine, and there was not much food left last year. Are we waiting to starve to death?"

When Shen Qin saw that it didn't make sense to him, she didn't say anything further and left for Xuzhou's mansion to discuss the matter with the prefect and Weng Ling.

On the way, a woman stopped the carriage and said that her husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law all had high fever and cough, and there were nodules under the armpits and thighs. She asked Shen Bodhisattva to come over and have a look. Shen Qin was worried that they were the first case in Xuzhou. The patient was suffering from pimple plague, so he diverted to his house.

When she arrived at the gate of the farmyard, Shen Qin was afraid of increasing the chance of infection, so she ordered the groom, Xiaohu and others to stop, and stepped into the yard with Haoer.

The woman led the way, and Shen Qin stepped into the bedroom and saw a man leaning on his back, lying on the bed coughing violently.

Shen Qin was anxious for a moment, so he didn't think much about it. He took a few steps forward, and then there was a crisp sound under his feet. A big net fell down from above his head, covering his head and face, and it was difficult to break free for a while.

Counted!

Shen Qin shouted in her heart that something was wrong.

"Master!" Hao'er behind him wanted to help, but was restrained in the woman's arms.

Then a dozen masked men in black rushed out from the back room and surrounded Shen Qin with swords raised.

The man lying on the bed got up, put on his boots, shook his head, and walked towards Shen Qin unhurriedly.

The man had a fair face, narrow eyes, a blue dot on his forehead, and an evil smile on his delicate face.

"Hey, Beauty Shen, why did you fall into Qinglong's hands?"
