Chapter 223 Spread of Plague

In the next few days, Song Wanning and her family returned to their normal lives.

The cakes sold by Liu Mei have always been very popular among the neighbors. Some people even buy some to take with them when they go out of town to visit relatives.

Liu Mei set up her stall as usual that day. When she was about to close the stall at noon, a pale man suddenly came. Liu Mei thought he was feeling unwell due to heatstroke.

"Little brother, are you feeling uncomfortable? Sit here and rest for a while. The weather has been quite hot these past two days..."

Before he could finish his words, the man fell straight down and almost overturned Liu Mei's stall.

Liu Mei was startled, and other people setting up stalls nearby also came over to see what was going on. The man fainted on the ground with his eyes rolled back and foam coming out of his mouth.

"what happened to him?"

"Could he be poisoned after eating your pastries?" Some passers-by who didn't know the truth began to speculate maliciously.

"What are you talking about? Aunt Song's pastries have been sold for such a long time, I can eat them every day without any problem."

Liu Mei recognized the man who spoke for her as the boy selling wontons nearby, and couldn't help but smile at him gratefully.

"I thought he had heatstroke. He fainted before he even bought any of my pastries." Liu Mei quickly explained.

Someone then reported it to the authorities, and the government officials came and took the unconscious man away.

Liu Mei closed her stall and went home. During lunch, she told her family what had just happened.

Song Wanning frowned slightly: "Mom, don't go this afternoon. The patient's illness is a bit strange. I went out for rounds these two days and heard of several patients with similar symptoms."

She had some preliminary guesses in her mind, but she had not seen the patient in person, so she could not determine what the disease was.

It seemed that the government officials were suppressing the matter, and all the patients were taken away by them.

Liu Mei was still a little frightened and decided to rest at home in the afternoon.

After lunch, Song Wanning decided to go out and take a look. To be on the safe side, she also took out some antidote from the space.

The formula of the antidote this time is different from the last time. It was specially prepared by Song Wanning based on some toxicities.

Song Jiang was worried about her going out on her medical rounds alone.

"Sister, you also said that it's not safe outside. Let me go with you." Song Jiang packed his medicine box, put it on his back and prepared to go out with Song Wanning.

Song Wanning nodded, and the two "brothers" left the house, looking like free doctors, and went to the outskirts of the city to investigate the situation.

As soon as the two of them walked into a courtyard, they heard a cry from inside the fence: "Husband! Husband! What's wrong with you!?"

Song Wanning and Song Jiang looked at each other and then walked towards the door: "Excuse me, what happened? We are the doctors on rounds."

Just as she finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside. The woman who opened the door looked panicked: "Please save my husband. He suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth."

Song Wanning pursed her lips and went to the inner room to take a look. Sure enough, she saw the same symptoms as the man Liu Mei met when she was setting up the stall today.

She reached out and felt the man's pulse, then pressed his eyelids and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Doctor, what's going on? Please tell me. Can my husband be saved?"

Song Wanning asked Song Jiang to take out the antidote from the medicine box: "He can be saved. First, carry him to the bed. Be careful not to touch the wound."

As she spoke, she lifted up the man's trouser leg and saw the bite mark.

"What's going on? My foot was fine yesterday, but today..." the woman exclaimed.

By the time Song Jiang and the woman lifted the man onto the bed, Song Nuan's antidote had been prepared.

"He still has some fever symptoms. After this injection, I will prescribe some pills. When he wakes up, have him take them three times a day for a total of three days."

Song Wanning took out a syringe, and the woman looked at it curiously: "What is this?"

"It's a form of acupuncture. Don't ask about other things." Song Jiang explained simply.

After taking an injection of antidote, the man stopped foaming at the mouth and his complexion looked better.

Song Wanning and Song Jiang came out to prepare the pills. Song Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Brother, was he bitten by something poisonous?"

"It's not poison, it's a rat." Song Wanning said in a low voice.

“How can rats be so toxic?”

"Rats themselves are not toxic, but rats are dirty."

Song Wanning did not say the word "germs", but explained it this way.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

"not good!"

Seeing Song Wanning suddenly stand up, Song Jiang also became nervous.

"what happened?"

Plague can not only be spread by bites, but the air is probably also filled with various germs.

"Cover your mouth and nose first." Song Wanning took out three medical towels from the medicine box, and Song Jiang gave one to the woman.

Song Wanning was worried. The plague spread quickly. Even the courtyard at the entrance of the village was affected. I'm afraid the whole village has already...

Sure enough, there was a cry from outside the door: "Brother Liu, Brother Liu, are you there? My wife has suddenly fainted and is foaming at the mouth. Can you lend me your mule cart? I need to go to the city to find a doctor."

"Brother Liu, I'm here to borrow a car too..."

"I came first!"

There are probably three or four people waiting outside the door.

"Help me clean up a room, and then tell them that they don't have to go to the city to see a doctor, they can just come here." Song Wanning was not planning to leave.

She was just making rounds, so the woman didn't think much about it and bowed to Song Wanning with great gratitude: "Thank you, doctor."

Afterwards, the woman went out and explained the situation to the villagers. Everyone was very excited and hurried home to bring their own patients over.

After treating the patients, Song Wanning asked the patients' families to take some disinfectant back home, pour some in a basin, and then sprinkle it everywhere in the house.

In this way, the disinfection work is completed.

Soon, the news that a miracle doctor had come to a village on the outskirts of the city spread throughout Kyoto. After two days of busy work, Song Wanning handed the task of saving people over to Song Jiang and prepared to investigate the source of the plague.

There are many dignitaries in Kyoto, and it is also the capital of the emperor. Logically, there should not be plague. Therefore, this matter is very strange, and there must be someone behind it.

During the past few days of diagnosis and treatment, Song Wanning would ask the patients about their diet and whereabouts recently.

There was nothing unusual about the food, and there was nothing similar either. It was all ordinary food.

But in terms of whereabouts, Song Wanning found something wrong.

Some of the people went to a brothel at the same time. The brothel was called Hongxiufang.

But what was strange was that Song Wanning had been to that area a few days ago to conduct a medical round, and the people there had no symptoms of plague at all. On the contrary, they looked very normal.

Song Wanning had a hunch that there was definitely something wrong with this brothel.
