Joe's Farming

After the first autumn rain, it was sunny for three days, and then it started to rain again.

This time, Qiao Yu went to the town specifically and spent a lot of money to buy winter wheat.

We are planning to try autumn sowing of wheat this year.

With the rain, Qiao Yu started a new round of potato planting.

There are also various vegetables. Qiao Yu has people plant all of them as long as they can be grown.

The cram school that had been closed for a whole season has also resumed classes.

Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, the arrival of a group of refugees broke the peace of Taoyuan County.

Taoyuan has always had the tradition of receiving refugees. When refugees arrive, the county government will first arrange them to live in resettlement areas on the outskirts of the city.

After screening, they are assigned jobs.

If they are competent, they will be allowed to stay in the city; if they are lazy and gluttonous, they will be driven out and not allowed to enter the city.

This time, one of the men who was taken in developed a high fever.

The person in charge of the resettlement center gave him antipyretic medicine in accordance with the rules.

Unexpectedly, the medicine didn't work. After this man had a fever for several days, half of the people in the resettlement center also developed high fever.

When Xie Changyu found out, he immediately sent people to seal off the resettlement area, and then interviewed all the doctors in the county clinics.

The reason why Gu Xi was not notified was because Gu Xi had been busy writing medical books for the past month, and Xie Changyu had no idea that such a person existed in Lingyun Villa.

The doctors who were interviewed all agreed that this was an epidemic.

They all said that their medical skills were not good enough to prescribe the right medicine, so they asked the county magistrate to find another expert.

For this purpose, Xie Changyu issued a reward notice.

For a moment, the entire Taoyuan fell into panic.

The same is true for Lingyun Villa.

Because Bai Ming had a high fever, and he happened to have gone to Taoyuan Town with Xiao Wu a few days ago.

Now, not to mention his subordinates, even Qiao Yu was a little panicked.

He first isolated Xiaowu and made him eat, drink, defecate and urinate separately from others.

All those who had close contact with Xiaowu Baiming were self-isolating at home.

All snack bars and villas are closed.

The most pitiful one is Li Xin. He finally survived the dry summer and felt a little relieved, but now he has encountered an infectious disease.

Qiao Yu felt sorry for him and took him to her home to take care of him.

As for Bai Ming, Gu Xi rushed over immediately.

Confirmed to be an infectious disease.

But it’s hard to say what disease it is. The main symptoms are high fever, headache, and cough, which is very similar to acute pneumonia.

In today's world, this disease may be cured like the common cold by taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

But that’s not possible in this era.

Such an emergency could be fatal.

Even Qiao Yu and Li Xin knew that for this kind of infectious disease, the most important thing was to control the source of infection, let alone Gu Xi.

He had someone dig a deep pit to handle the excrement, and all the places that Bai Ming and Xiao Wu had come into contact with were poured with boiling water and then sprinkled with lime powder for disinfection.

Everyone was ordered to wash their hands with soap whenever they went out or came home, before meals and after going to the toilet, and water must be boiled before drinking.

Gu Xi took care of Bai Ming at the Bai family for three days without taking off her clothes, and finally brought down Bai Ming's high fever.

Because of the good protective measures, Mr. and Mrs. Bai and Gu Xi were not infected.

Xiaowu was in quarantine for a few days and everything was fine. I think it was because he had good physical fitness and high resistance.

As soon as Bai Ming got better, Gu Xi went to Taoyuan Town.

He gained a lot of experience while treating Bai Ming. As a doctor, he should be like a loving parent to his patients. He could not allow the epidemic to continue to spread.

-

Bai Ming had a fever for three days and was dazed when he took the medicine.

By the time he was fully awake, Gu Xi was gone.

"mother."

Bai Ming thought he was using a lot of strength to call out to people, but in fact his voice was very small.

It was Meng Yao, who was left behind by Gu Xi to take care of Bai Ming, who first discovered that Bai Ming had woken up.

"Aunt Bai! Brother Bai is awake!"

Mengyao shouted and Bai's mother and father rushed in from outside.

"Ming brother, how do you feel? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"

Bai Ming saw his mother and smiled slightly: "Mom, I want to drink some water."

Bai's mother immediately brought a bowl of hot water and fed it to him.

After drinking, Bai Ming looked around the room.

"Brother Bai, are you looking for Doctor Gu? He went to the town to treat his illness." Meng Yao said.

Bai Ming still vaguely remembered that Gu Xi had been taking care of him during the past few days when he had a fever.

What Bai Mu said also confirmed his thoughts.

"Son, thanks to Doctor Gu for taking care of you, otherwise I don't know what I would do. You must repay him in the future."

Bai Ming nodded with a blush on his face.

-

Li Xin will be released in two months, so he can't be careless.

Ling Lie went to inquire about the epidemic situation every day.

At the beginning, many rumors spread.

He said he wanted to burn all the refugees.

It was also said that the county magistrate was too soft-hearted and unwilling to kill the patients, which led to some of them escaping and running around.

The people in the town were so scared that they dared not go out and stockpiled vegetables and food at home, causing prices to soar further.

Some people even say that mugwort can cure diseases and prevent them.

On the second day, the price of mugwort, which usually cost 15 wen per pound in the pharmacy, rose to 300 wen per pound.

Everyone was feeling insecure, except Qiao Yu and Li Xin, who were not surprised by this.

They can't do anything about other people, but if anyone from the villa spreads rumors, Qiao Yu will fire that person and never hire him again.

When Gu Xi arrived in Taoyuan Town, he handed the epidemic prevention manual that he had compiled overnight to Xie Changyu.

Xie Changyu knew at a glance that the content was of great use, and quickly arranged for it to be copied.

Xie Tianyu also compiled it into a catchy nursery rhyme and had people teach it to beggars on the street.

Because the school that had finally resumed classes has started its holiday again, we can only start promoting the anti-epidemic song from the beggars.

Next, Gu Xi began to investigate the source of infection while treating the disease.

We learned that the first patient with fever ate a dead rat while fleeing famine.

Gu Xi asked Xie Changyu to go to that place to check if there were any villages nearby and if there were any patients with the same symptoms.

Xie Changyu sent people over and found that indeed there was a village where the entire village had been infected with the epidemic. Fortunately, Gu Xi reminded them early and the casualties were not very serious.

After Gu Xi controlled the epidemic in the resettlement area, he rushed to the village without stopping.

-

Bai Ming waited at home for a few days, but there was no news of Gu Xi's return.

As soon as he recovered, he resolutely went to Taoyuan Town.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were extremely worried, but they couldn't do anything about him.

Qiao Yu and Li Xin sat under the eaves eating melon seeds.

Li Xin: "I never thought these two could be a couple."

Qiao Yu opened her mouth in surprise: "As expected of you."

Li Xin raised an eyebrow: "Did you see it early on?"

Qiao Yu said as she ate, "Didn't you notice that Bai Ming only repulses Gu Xi?"

Li Xin thought about it and said, "It seems so. But he is only normal to Ling Lie and your husband."

"It's different. When he sees Da Zhuang, he will smile and say hello, but when he sees Gu Xi, he becomes very cold."

"So that's how it is. No wonder every time Bai Ming agreed to have dinner at my house, he would say he wanted to go back home as soon as he saw Gu Xi coming. I thought he just simply disliked Gu Xi's noise."

"Maybe he was scared because Gu Xi looked too much like that scumbag when he first approached him."

"That's good. The two of them have finally made peace. There's no need to be so coy about it anymore."
