Chapter 208 Preventing the Spread
"I will prescribe a prescription first. You can grab the medicine and fry it first. I can't immediately determine what kind of prescription can cure this disease. It will take a period of trial and observation." Wei Ruo explain.
Because it is different from common pneumonia, Wei Ruo can only be conservative in prescribing medicine now, and further observation and diagnosis are needed before further precise treatment can be carried out.
"Okay." Qingyi nodded.
Wei Ruo continued: "After the medicine is boiled, don't send it in directly. Wait for me and Meimei to come, or put the medicine at the door and let the one who is in better health come out to get it to avoid direct contact." "Then wouldn't you
... ..." Qingyi is a little worried, Miss Wei is their wife's noble person.
"Don't worry about us for now. I will try my best to avoid face-to-face interactions with you in the future, and just pass any news across the wall." Wei Ruo explained.
Qingyi nodded with a worried expression.
Wei Ruo added: "Then we will notify others with the same symptoms and ask them to stay in the room and not have contact with other people. If the condition is not serious, the family will only be responsible for delivering medicine and food." Go to a fixed location. If the condition is serious, one person will be assigned to take care of him. The person responsible for taking care of him must not have contact with other people." "Okay."
Qingyi nodded, not daring to slack off in Wei Ruo's explanation.
After thinking about it, Wei Ruo added: "Find someone to send a letter to Mrs. Yuan. Some medicinal materials need to be purchased in large quantities in advance. I will make a list and prepare the medicinal materials on the list first." "Okay.
"
Qingyi Write them down one by one, and immediately arrange for someone to do it.
The matter was urgent and there was no room for any delay on their part.
Soon, the people sent by Mrs. Yuan made arrangements according to Wei Ruo's instructions, and immediately sent people to purchase the medicinal materials on the list listed by Wei Ruo.
At the same time, in order to prevent panic, Mrs. Yuan specifically ordered not to publicize that the disease was contagious.
However, it was still a step too late. Before Mrs. Yuan ordered not to spread the disease, news about the human-to-human transmission of the disease still spread.
I don’t know where it leaked, but the news spread throughout Taizhou Mansion.
It soon aroused people's panic, and those who had the conditions began to think of ways to buy medicinal materials, and began to stay behind closed doors.
Everyone bought all the food they could before the heavy snow started. Those who haven’t stocked up yet probably don’t have the conditions to do so.
If you don't have the conditions, you can't do anything about it. You can neither buy medicine nor have the intention to escape, because even if you escape from Taizhou Prefecture, you may starve to death halfway in a few days.
It’s freezing cold and even eating is a problem, so how can you think of anything else?
Wei Ruo did not return to Xiaowei's mansion that night. Mrs. Yuan sent someone to send a message to the Wei family, saying that Wei Ruo would stay at the mansion to celebrate the New Year.
This is of course just an excuse. It is unreasonable and unreasonable for someone who is celebrating the New Year not to celebrate the New Year at his own home but to go to the Yuan Mansion where he is not a relative or an acquaintance.
After receiving the news, several members of the Wei family naturally had an idea in their minds.
In the evening, several members of the Wei family had dinner together. Except for Wei Ruo and Wei Mingting who did not come back, Wei Jin also had dinner in his own yard.
None of the people at the table looked good-looking.
After dinner, Wei Qingwan was waiting for Mrs. Yun to mention this matter, but Mrs. Yun just kept a calm face and did not speak.
Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Yilin next to her. Wei Yilin was always outspoken and could not hide things. He would blurt out anything unpleasant.
He should have also heard about Wei Ruo staying in Yuan Mansion for the New Year. According to his past temperament, he must not be able to help but mutter a few words at this moment.
But Wei Qingwan waited for a long time, but Wei Yilin didn't speak.
Wei Qingwan frowned slightly, but finally couldn't help but speak. "Don't worry, mother. Mrs. Yuan must be very fond of her sister, so she would keep her at home to celebrate the New Year." Wei Qingwan took the initiative to comfort Yun.
"I'm not worried about this." Unexpectedly, Yun denied it. "What I'm worried about is the current epidemic. We can stay behind closed doors, but your father can't do anything about it." Wei Qingwan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she realized that her
mother At this moment, his thoughts were occupied by worries about his father, and he had no time to think about whose house Wei Qingruo would spend the New Year at.
Although it is excessive for Wei Ruo to celebrate the New Year at the Yuan family, at least it will not cause any harm to the Wei family.
What's more, no matter what, being favored by Princess Jingmin will be beneficial to Wei Ruo himself and even the Wei family.
But the plague is different. When the plague comes, corpses litter the fields, which will endanger the lives of family members.
Comparing the two aspects, which one is lighter and which one is more important, Yunshi is extremely clear in her heart.
Of course, the Yun family was not dissatisfied with Wei Ruo's matter. After all, this was Wei Ruo's first New Year with his family after returning home. It was really too much to go to someone else's house like this.
Seeing Yun's worry, Wei Yilin immediately said: "Mom, don't worry about dad. Dad is a great hero. He is so powerful that he won't get sick!" Listening to Wei Yilin's innocent words, Yun also hoped that everything would be as the child said
. That way, nothing will happen.
Wei Yichen's expression was solemn. He could not be as innocent as his younger brother.
But in this situation, there is nothing he can do as a scholar.
Everyone in the room has their own thoughts and they are not in a relaxed mood.
###
Yingzhuyuan.
Unlike other people in the house, Wei Jin also guessed that Wei Ruo staying at the Yuan family for the New Year was just an excuse.
There was a plague in Taizhou Prefecture, and Wei Ruo knew medical skills, so the real reason why Mrs. Yuan summoned Wei Ruo to see her and kept Wei Ruo at Yuan's house to "celebrate the New Year" was probably because Mrs. Yuan wanted Wei Ruo to help treat patients and control the spread of the epidemic.
But if that's the case, then Ruo'er's situation is the most dangerous now.
She herself was at high risk of contracting the disease.
After Wei Jin also thought about it, he left Xiaobei in Yingzhuyuan, avoided the guards of Xiaowei's Mansion, crossed the wall and left Xiaowei's Mansion.
###
In addition to Wei Ruo, there were also several famous doctors in Fucheng who participated in the treatment of this plague.
Mrs. Yuan prepared a room for them as a temporary place for them to rest and discuss countermeasures.
Wei Ruo had also changed his clothes at this moment and was discussing with other doctors as Xu Heyou.
Wei Ruoben didn't want to take any unnecessary steps in such an emergency situation, but it was Mrs. Yuan who reminded him.
Mrs. Yuan didn't want this incident to have a bad impact on Wei Ruo, and she didn't want Wei Ruo to have too much direct contact with other men.
So Wei Ruo used the previous method, wearing a disguise and participating as Xu Heyou. In order to cooperate with Wei Ruo, Xiumei naturally also changed her costume.
In the room, Wei Ruo was discussing with several doctors and expressed his opinions.
"Master Xu, do you think this is pneumonia? But I have been practicing medicine for many years and have seen countless pneumonias. The symptoms of this disease are somewhat different from those of previous pneumonias." The speaker
was Dr. Cheng from Zhengyu Hall, the oldest and most senior person present. .
