Chapter 223 After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic

Qian Xiaoxiao slept until about four o'clock in the morning the next day.

The sound of rain all night didn't wake her up. She moved a little and Shen Yueniang woke up too.

"Sleep a little longer." Shen Yueniang whispered in her ear.

She shook her head and slowly got up. The space was really limited, and the space assigned to each person was only just enough for one person to lie down.

She looked at everyone and saw that everyone was still sleeping. She couldn't get out, so she slowly lay down again.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qin got up. They slept on the far side, so the tent they used could protect themselves from the rain and the people sleeping on the side. They killed two birds with one stone.

After the two of them got out of the tent, they tied up the bedding, put the tent away and put it in a cloth bag and started washing rice.

There wasn't much rice left, just enough for everyone to drink a bowl of porridge.

Qian Xiaoxiao can't just take things out now, he has missed the opportunity to take them out.

Slowly everyone got up. Most of the people living in this cave were parents and children. When a child cries, one, two or three others will cry next. Qian Xiaoxiao just lay there and listened to the sound of rain. , listening to the sounds of adults coaxing children, and the sounds of children quarreling because they are too noisy.

A day of ups and downs has begun again.

She sat up slowly, scratched her chicken coop-like hair, and yawned. She woke up too early and lay there for an hour or two. When it was time to get up, she felt sleepy again.

The classmates all followed Guan Miao to the ancient tomb. Although there was no place to live here, everyone still had a set of daily necessities, so Qian Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry about them.

Qian Xiaoxiao did a rough calculation and estimated that there were about [-] people in this entire mountain.

There must be more than just these people in the entire Ji City. She doesn't have to worry about the specific arrangements made by the city lord.

She didn't care whether arrangements could be made at the ancient tomb. She just wanted to stay well now, maintain her strength, and wait until the flood receded alive.

"Xiao Xiao..." Qian Xiaoxiao was still sitting there in a daze, when Mrs. Wang came over and called her in her ear.

"Oh, my God, you scared me." She was indeed frightened. She was still wandering just now.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's my fault. I'm not scared."

"It's okay, what's wrong with Granny Wang?"

"There's no rice left. I won't have anything to eat for lunch after this meal."

"I know." Qian Xiaoxiao yawned and stretched.

"That……"

"If it's gone, it's gone. Everything we brought has been given out for relief. I'll go find the city lord later. Besides, you see they all come here with big bags and small bags. They have food." Qian Xiaoxiao said in her ear. .

"They won't give us a cent even if they have something to eat." Wang Po, who has lived for most of her life, still doesn't understand human nature? He carried his own food and drank from the big pot with a shy face.

Qian Xiaoxiao doesn't care about this. Anyway, she carries the granary on her back and won't be hungry.

"When they ask for food at noon, they say they don't have any. I don't tolerate them."

"This……"

"It's okay, listen to me."

Of course she knew that human nature should not be tested. The flood was overwhelming, and this was just the beginning. It was not certain when she would return it later.

She has done enough for everyone. She found the place and fed thousands of people twice.

Besides, why does it have to be her? She has to keep a low profile. There are officials here and there, so what can she do?

Besides, no matter how kind she is, she still has to be a bit sharp, otherwise she would be a fool.

Next to them, Xiao Shitou and Guan Ziyan were also awake, and Shen Yueniang was playing with them on the quilt.

Calculating the time, it should be past seven in the morning, but the sky was still dark.

Kyoto still doesn’t know the situation in Silent City.

It's not that the city lord and the prefect didn't report it. They were evacuating the people at the beginning. They were just afraid of what might happen if I had ten thousand. They still didn't think there would be such a severe flood. When it came time to report it, they were all sealed up on the mountain. , now it is completely impossible to get out without a boat.

Qian Xiaoxiao held an umbrella and came to the edge of the plain to look down.

Only the roof of the lonely city is left.

The entire Ji City is a patch of yellow and orange.

She took a deep breath.

She stood there for a few minutes and saw several houses collapse.

The losses suffered by Ji City this time were not small, and it would be difficult for it to return to its former prosperity within ten or twenty years.

At the same time, she was still thinking about the plague problem that Guan Miao mentioned last night.

Plague has been something that people have talked about since ancient times. It can quickly rob people of their health in a short period of time, and in serious cases, it can even take away everyone's lives.

It is invisible and often begins to act quietly before people are ready to greet it.

Plague is very scary to humans because you never know when you will face death. The psychological shadow it brings to people is more terrifying than directly killing a person.

The word "plague" first appeared in written records in the "Micro Edicts" written by Ge Hong, a Taoist theorist and medical scientist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is this sentence in the article: If you are exposed to plague, you will not be afraid, and if you are in danger, you will be invisible. What is called here “Plague” refers to contagious diseases.

Qian Xiaoxiao remembered that there were several major epidemics recorded in history. Judging from the literature, each case was alarming.

For example, "Laozi" said: The wind will not last forever, and the rain will not last all day. Who is this? Heaven and earth cannot be separated from each other, how much more so than humans?

This means that no matter how strong the storm is, it will stop, and the violence of nature will not last long. The disasters in this world must also dissipate.

As mentioned in "Food Hygiene in Flood-stricken Areas", as the saying goes: "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic."

It means that after major natural disasters in the past, the normal living environment was destroyed, resulting in the outbreak of large-scale epidemics, infectious diseases, food poisoning and other diseases in the disaster area.

After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic. This sentence comes from the "Flower Boat" written by Xiling Madman in the Ming Dynasty. After a great war and chaos, there will definitely be a great plague, and after a great plague, there will be a great famine.

For example, according to the "Book of Han" records, from the first to the fourth year of the Emperor of the Earth (AD 20-23): "Died in battle, captured by the surrounding barbarians, framed for crime, famine, epidemic, and cannibalism"; in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties On this occasion, from 1641 to 1643, "there was a great epidemic in the capital (today's Beijing), and deaths were increasing day by day."

For another example, in 1910-1911, the plague was introduced to Harbin via the Middle East Railway through Manzhouli, and then a great plague swept across the entire Northeast. This great plague lasted for more than 6 months, sweeping half of China and killing more than 6 people. die.

Qian Xiaoxiao is frightened just thinking about this shocking death data.

Nature is eternal and human beings are endless. Every disaster and epidemic is a test for people.

It tests people's immunity, as well as their ability to cope and adapt.

Qian Xiaoxiao believes that what is actually tested is people's courage and ability to unite as one and unite as one.
