Chapter 1071 Self-Salvation
Lu Qingqing composed herself and said to Bai Song:
"Given the current situation, we need to stabilize the situation within our camp first."
I'll go find Old Man Zhuang later to see if he has any herbs that can cure it.
First, have your men block the entrance with stones to ensure that outsiders cannot enter!
Besides, given the current situation, you should ask Uncle Hai if the wall can be raised further!
I'm worried that if this condition gets out of control in a few more days...
"If things get chaotic on the mountain, some refugees will cause trouble and throw diseased items over the walls!"
Bai Song had also experienced it, so he naturally knew what she was saying.
After he wrote everything down, he turned around and began to make arrangements.
Lu Qingqing didn't sit idle either; she quickly went to find Old Man Zhuang and explained the situation.
When Old Man Zhuang heard the word "plague," his head buzzed.
"Qingqing, you mustn't talk about this carelessly!"
They were fine just a few days ago, how did they suddenly get malaria?
"You must be seeing things!"
Lu Qingqing said with a serious expression, "Boss Bai said that several people went out and all said they were sure he wasn't mistaken!"
Old Zhuang's shoulders slumped down suddenly.
"Let me rummage through the medicine box and see if there are any usable herbs!"
Oh right, I remember you used to have a box specifically for storing medicinal herbs.
Find it later, and I'll see if there's anything usable inside!
"Oh, and later, have Boss Bai find the medicinal herbs he has stored there too!"
Lu Qingqing agreed and turned to search the back.
Old Zhuang also went to the back of the tent and started rummaging through the medicine boxes.
But the more he looked, the more he couldn't help but sigh.
In his box, there were only a few medicines for treating colds and fevers; most of them were for treating headaches.
At this point, it will be quite difficult to find a medicine that can treat malaria.
He's clearly a doctor who studies headaches, so why does he keep encountering incurable diseases like plagues every day?
He didn't even dare to go out and observe patients with this disease.
All we could do was guess at the prescription.
Old Zhuang was internally ranting, but his hands moved swiftly.
They took out all the medicinal herbs that might be needed.
On the other side, Lu Qingqing took the opportunity of rummaging through the medicine box.
He took out all the prepared medicinal herbs from the space at once.
She didn't know which of these medicinal herbs could be used and which couldn't.
Anyway, let's take it out first and let Old Man Zhuang take a look later!
Meanwhile, the two were busy with their work.
On the other side, Bai Song also stood by the wall with Sun Laohai and his son Sun Dahai.
After hearing his explanation, Sun Laohai frowned.
Actually, the stone wall was completed quite some time ago, and the roof on top had naturally been removed long ago.
Although some straw mats were placed on top to prevent rainwater from washing away the clay in the middle of the stones.
But with all the rain these past few days, the straw mat has long been soaked through.
Moreover, the wall was built to a height of 2.2 meters.
At such a height, both setting up a shed and drying the walls are troublesome tasks.
Seeing Sun Laohai's tightly furrowed brows, Bai Song knew this matter would be difficult to handle.
However, given the current situation, for safety reasons, it is still necessary to raise the perimeter wall further.
Seeing that Sun Laohai was still thinking of a solution, Bai Song decided to seal off the entrance first!
He sent his soldiers to the camp to find some suitable stones and bring them back.
After receiving the order, the soldiers all returned to the rear of the camp and searched the area.
Once they found a suitable stone, they began to move it towards the stone wall.
While Lu Qingqing's camp was making great efforts to defend itself, the refugees outside were terrified!
This morning, as soon as I got up and went out to relieve myself, I found people who had collapsed from exhaustion!
Although they didn't know the specifics of what was wrong with these people, they subconsciously knew not to get close to them.
In fact, most of the people on the mountain had heard of the plague.
In fact, many people know the symptoms of the plague.
However, the plagues that Xiazhou City had previously experienced mostly involved fever and cough.
Moreover, there was a buffer period when the plague broke out at that time!
A person who is sick will have a course of illness lasting at least a few days!
Instead of being like these people, who were fine yesterday but collapsed from diarrhea today!
Even those who aren't sick are terrified to see people around them fainting or collapsing from diarrhea.
Unfortunately, it was still raining at that moment.
Someone couldn't hold it in and defecated on the road. The rain washed away the yellowish-white substance, which then flowed down the slope.
Many people were devastated by the sight of the sewage flowing around the tents.
The current situation is not just about whether it's dirty or not.
These sick people don't even know what disease they have.
Whether these feces are contagious is unknown.
In this situation, many people decided to move to another location.
However, the upper half of the mountain was already packed with people.
If they wanted to move, they could only go down the mountain.
The area below had previously been flooded.
Even though it's been returned, those remaining things are still not safe.
In addition, the rainwater washes away the sewage, causing it to flow downwards.
The flat area directly below is definitely not an option.
After hesitating for a while, many people went to a platform with a steeper slope on the lower right.
This slope is not only steep, but also has some rugged large rocks on top.
Originally, because of these stones, there were very few places to rest.
In addition, there is a cliff to the west, with no place to block the view.
Many people feel unsafe and are unwilling to stay here.
But at this moment, those large rocks blocked the sewage flowing down from above.
This place is actually quite clean.
The first family to decide to move here was one of the local factions.
After checking out the situation, the forces that had agreed to help each other decided to leave together.
However, out of the five households, only two were not sick.
Of the remaining three households, each has one or two people who are ill.
