Chapter 994: Survivors
When Yuan Fang came to the corner, the man's mood had stabilized, and he looked at Yuan Fang hopefully and stopped talking.
Tang Jian's adjutant looked at the man, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a questioning tone, "Are you an errand officer of the official office?" ”
The man was still covering his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, nodded and said, "General Hui, I am Guo Ping, a messenger from the county office." ”
The adjutant intentionally or unintentionally skimmed the saber in Guo Ping's hand and asked, "Are you the only one?" What about the others? Guo Ping lowered his head and said in a mournful tone: "Dead, or gone, there are only about 30 people left in the city now." ”
Sang Rou frowned and said, "Impossible, I saw a lot of figures in the sky just now, definitely more than thirty." ”
Guo Ping explained with a wry smile: "I'm talking about the people from the official office, in addition to us, there are some city defense troops left in the east of the city, and some people gathered in the center of the city. ”
Yuan Fang went straight to the point: "What about the patient?" Where are they? ”
Guo Ping looked at Yuan Fang, who was wearing a mask: "Are you Lord Yuan Fang?" ”
Yuan Fang nodded: "I'm here to solve this epidemic." ”
Guo Ping smiled bitterly and said: "It's late, Lord Yuan, you're late, two days, just two days, most of the people in the city died, and the rest ran away." ”
Yuan Fang was a little impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, take me quickly." ”
Guo Ping asked in surprise: "Do you really want to go?" Most of the people who have been there have not had good results. ”
Yuan Fang glared and said, "Lead the way." ”
Guo Ping shrugged: "Okay, anyway, staying here is still to survive, I'm fed up, go, I'll take you over." ”
Yuan Fang and his entourage followed Guo Ping to the center of the city, and at the same time, Tang Jian's adjutant took a few guards to the gathering place of the official office to gather people according to Guo Ping's guidance.
Along the way, Yuan Fang and his entourage carried a heavy medicine box, followed Guo Ping on the road, Yuan Fang asked a lot of questions, Guo Ping did not hide them one by one, Yuan Fang really understood the trauma experienced by this city, it is not only the plague of disease, but also the annihilation of human nature and the decline of morality, if the plague took nearly half of the life, then the rest was wiped out by human greed and despair.
Initially, Tianniu County found the plague after the panic, the county reported the epidemic after the decisive closure of the city gate, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, but such a blockade is pale and powerless, two days later, although the initial infected people have been isolated, but more and more people are infected in the city, can no longer be controlled, there are successive robberies in the city, several shops were robbed, and then, in the remote corner found a few dead bodies, and then there are more similar things happening, the city defense army strictly guards the city gate, and the official office is overstretched, The situation became uncontrollable, as more and more people were infected, so more and more people died, and the factors of instability became heavier, several large families were ransacked by a group of thugs, and the whole family without exception was killed by all men and women, the news spread, and the panic of the people was ignited, reaching an irrepressible level, and they poured into the streets to storm the city gate, as a result, there was a conflict with the city defense army, and finally the city defense army, which had collapsed will, was defeated, the city gate was broken, and the city defense army, which was not much, lost a lot of manpower, The remaining part was infected with the plague, and now only a dozen poor people remain, and Tianniu County has become as depressed and desolate as it is now.
Time is limited, and many things Guo Ping just passes, but Yuan Fang can imagine how crazy the desperate people will be, how tragic and difficult the battle to storm the city gate is, and the most terrible thing is the inner torment.
Not far in front of him was the gathering place of the people that Guo Ping said, and Yuan Fang asked the last question: "Guo Ping, why didn't you leave?" ”
Guo Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Go, where can you go?" ”
This is a vast mansion, from Guo Ping's mouth, I know that this was originally the mansion of a large family, and then the plague broke out, the riot started, the family was attacked and killed by the mob, no one was spared, and now, it has become a gathering place for the surviving people.
Sang Rou frowned and asked, "Why didn't you get together but separated?" ”
Guo Ping shrugged: "Because of distrust, because power cannot be unified." ”
Yuzuki pouted and said, "When is it, you still need power." ”
Guo Ping stopped and retorted: "The right I said is not what you think, this general, do you think there is still a need for rights to exist here, in such an environment?" I'm talking about another kind of right, let's take it for example, if we let the city defense army take the lead in command, we won't be at ease, let us call the shots, the city defense army also has scruples, rather than guessing, it's better to be responsible for their own affairs separately. ”
Yuan Fang interrupted Jieyue's words: "Okay, I'll talk about these things later." ”
As soon as Yuan Fang and his party arrived, several people with face towels came out on stretchers and walked face to face with Yuan Fang.
The people at the front were stunned at first when they saw Yuan Fang and his party, and then obviously relaxed after seeing Guo Ping beside Yuan Fang: "Guo Dutou, who are these people?" ”
Guo Ping said: "They are military doctors sent by the empire. ”
Yuan Fang stepped forward and walked to the stretcher, and without saying a word, grabbed the wrist of the dying patient on the stretcher and began to examine. The person carrying the stretcher looked at Guo Ping, who nodded and motioned for him to cooperate.
After a while, Yuan Fang examined all the three patients on the stretcher and asked, "What are the symptoms of the disease?" ”
The person carrying the stretcher thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well, anyway, it's vomiting and diarrhea, and it won't be long before the person will die, and the doctor will use all kinds of methods to no avail." ”
Yuan Fang then asked, "Where are you going to send them?" ”
The stretcher bearer hesitated for a moment and said, "Send it to the other side, all those who have the plague are over there." ”
Yuan Fang said in an unquestioning tone: "Go, take me over, how many people are still suffering from the plague?" ”
The stretcher bearer replied, "Not a lot, probably more than a hundred." ”
Yuan Fang took a deep breath and instructed the accompanying military doctors: "The few just now are all cholera symptoms, everyone arranges their utensils and prepares to save people." ”
Guo Ping saw that what Yuan Fang said was clear, and couldn't help but ask: "Lord Yuan, can this be saved?" ”
Yuan Fang was uncertain and said, "Try it." ”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Guo Ping's eyes. The place where the sick people are placed is not far away, less than five minutes away from the gate, this is also a small courtyard, as soon as you enter the door, a foul smell hits, Yuan Fang can't care so much, and beckons the military doctor to start checking the patients lying in the yard.
