Chapter 83 Confidence
"I know everything you want to say, but this is a plague after all. Anyway, I will listen to you."
"I can live, even if God refuses to accept me. Even if I die, I won't have any complaints. I have meat every meal these days, and I can be a well-fed ghost. It's worth it!"
"Yes, yes! I think so too."
Everyone talked again and again.
Hong Lianshuo looked at them dumbfounded and said, "Even with your optimistic and calm attitude, I won't die." Then he added, "I have informed you of the disease truthfully. Don't move now." He didn't even blink.
He blinked at them and said, "Now check their pulses and throats one by one. Those who have symptoms stay with me."
"What if there are no symptoms?"
"If you are asymptomatic, follow Captain Chen and he will make arrangements." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes and said.
"Why bother to separate? Can't it be cured?"
"Plague is also an infectious disease. It must be isolated. Individuals have different constitutions and cannot be transmitted from sick people to those who are not sick." Hong Lianshuo introduced it to them as plainly as possible, "No one wants to take medicine if they are not sick!"
"Why are you talking so much? We can do whatever Mrs. Hong tells us to do."
"Well, let's light a fire first, and let's check the pulse first." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with gentle eyes and smiled, his smile seemed to break through the haze, as warm as a lit fire, "Colonel Chen brought the people who were rescued from the city yesterday.
Everyone is called here."
"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Why?"
"Silly! The father and son were rescued from the city yesterday. We have been together for so many days without getting sick, which proves that we are not sick." Han Qinhu looked at Chen Zhongyuan with his dark eyes and said.
"I understand." Chen Zhongyuan suddenly realized, "This is easy to handle, and they will all gather in this area." He added in surprise, "So most people are not infected."
"We all eat and live together, how can we not get sick? We are all likely to be infected." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with clear eyes, breaking his last hope. He looked at his somewhat defeated face and said, "Okay, hurry up.
Call someone." Give him confidence and say, "Remember, it can be cured, it can be cured, it can be cured!" Say important things three times.
"Oh!" Chen Zhongyuan came to his senses and said, "I'll go call someone."

"How did Mrs. Hong get this disease?"
"Yes! How can a good person suddenly become ill?"
"This disease was acquired in the city. As for why?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said in detail, "The Hu soldiers suddenly attacked and surrounded us in the city. Because of the limited living space, even humans and animals mixed together.
The living environment is dirty and messy, and it is a hot summer, with flies and mosquitoes flying around. People starve to death every day and cannot be buried in time, which is why it is easy to cause plague."
"Ah!" Everyone looked shocked after hearing this, "So that's it!"
"Wouldn't it mean that Yi Di and others will also get the plague?"
As soon as these words came out, laughter spread quickly, "Hahaha... what a retribution!"
"Deserve it!"
"God is really blind."
When Hong Lianshuo sat on the floor and took their pulses, the laughter kept coming. He was so happy.
Those who were diagnosed and diagnosed were left where they were, while those who were not diagnosed were taken away and relocated by Chen Zhongyuan.
Sixi and the others gathered the medicine overnight, put it on the straw mat, and had the sick person carry it back.
"Ms. Hong, if we chew this dryly, it can really cure the plague."
"It feels so incredible!"
"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo picked up the herbs and put them in his mouth, chewed them, and then swallowed them.
To be honest, some of this medicine is quite bitter.
"Why are you eating it too? Is it possible that you have also been... infected?"
"This is to treat diseases if they are sick, but to prevent diseases if they are not." Hong Lianshuo said with a grimace in pain.
"Ms. Hong, you also despise suffering!"
"No one likes to take bitter medicine." Hong Lianshuo stuck out his tongue and said.
Everyone laughed when they saw this, feeling that Mrs. Hong was so powerful and so cute.
"Can this plague be prevented?"
"The key to this plague is to prevent it before it happens. As long as we prevent it well, the plague will be gone." Hong Lianshuo curled up the corners of his mouth and looked at them tenderly. The smile on his face was as bright as the melting snow on the top of a plum tree.
"Didn't I just tell you how you got this plague? It's because the living environment is dirty and the bodies were not buried in time. That's why you got the disease." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said.
"According to Mrs. Hong's wishes, the house must be cleaned."
Hong Lianshuo took the opportunity to popularize science and said, "Yes! Clean the inside and outside of the house, and also kill flies, mosquitoes, rats... These pests are dirty, running around, flying around, and spreading diseases."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Hong, we will definitely destroy these things in the future."
"You must also dispose of human and animal feces, which are also the source of infectious diseases." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with elegant and clear eyes.
"We have fertilized these and planted crops."
"It's done right, it's done well!" Hong Lianshuo praised it greatly, "The key is timely fertilization, and the toilet must be clean."
Finally! Hong Lianshuo just made up a few limericks about hygiene! It’s easy to remember, and with this plague, it’s hard to forget.
&*&
Hong Lianshuo spent five or six days taking pulses and conducting medical examinations before they were completely separated.
Hong Lianshuo said it countless times to prevent recurrence of the plague, and it was so memorable that they couldn't forget it even if they wanted to.
The father and son who were the first to get sick have had their fever subsided and improved significantly, which further strengthened their confidence.
There is no panic, fear spreads, which is very beneficial to the recovery of the disease. Sometimes confidence is more effective than herbs!
"Ordinarily, I have injuries on my body and my body is weak. Why don't we all get sick?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at Hong Lianshuo very curiously and asked.
"Weak? Brother Shuisheng is as strong as an ox." Sixi looked at him up and down with a smile.
"When we first escaped, we were so hungry that we were so weak." Fang Dachui said with lingering fear, not wanting to experience it a second time in this life.
"How many dandelions have you chewed these days?" Hong Lianshuo said seriously while holding his son on the straw mat and looking at him.
"Ah!" Jiang Shuisheng opened his mouth so wide that he could fit an egg in. The bitter taste came out again, and he said with disgust, "I don't want to chew it anymore."
"We are not sick because we chewed dandelions, right?" Fang Dachui scratched his head and said, "But I don't have any! There are no injuries on my body, and I didn't chew dandelions."
Hong Lianshuo looked at him funny and said, "Don't be so surprised!"
"Then you, the young master, and many others are not sick." Si Xi looked at her with doubts in her eyes and asked.
"What's smeared on my face and exposed skin?" Hong Lianshuo pointed to his cheek and shook his hand.
