Chapter 285: Discovery
Chu Xinyu guessed that the plague was related to Xu Zhilan, so he asked people to continue to investigate the source of the plague. She vaguely felt that this plague might be different from what Xiao Jingxuan said, so she did not disturb anyone and personally went to the quarantine area in the west of the city to see the symptoms of these people after the plague.
Lan Yi once persuaded her that there was no need to go in person, she would be almost married. What if she was infected with the plague?
But Chu Xinyu insisted on leaving, but Lan Yi had no choice but to accompany her.
Outside the quarantine area, Chu Xinyu did not let Lan Yi accompany her in, and asked her to stay outside. She couldn't make an appointment when she went in for two cups of tea, so she went in again. Lan Yi could only nod. She had asked Huan to inform Gui Ye that the plague is not an ordinary infectious disease. If you are not careful, it will be troublesome.
Chu Xinyu dressed up as an assistant from the Imperial Hospital, covered her with a mask, and only exposed her eyes. No one noticed her when she entered.
She walked to the bedside of a relatively serious patient. There was a doctor wearing an Imperial Hospital uniform beside him. When he saw Chu Xinyu coming in, he asked her to help the patient get medicine.
Chu Xinyu did as he did, and then casually inquire about the patient's situation.
The doctor told her the patient's condition in detail. After speaking, she asked her to stay and take care of the patient, so she left to see other patients.
After reading his symptoms, I remember reading a book before. When the Atypical pneumonia broke out that year, she read a lot of things about the plague, so she remembered the symptoms that the plague would appear.
The book Danxi Xinfa once said that plague, common people are sick, also called the epidemic. If the qi and toxicity are hidden in the Tuyuan, they are afraid of cold at first, but later they are not cold, with headaches and body pain, white coatings like accumulation of powder, and red tongue texture; if the heat and toxicity are hidden in the stomach or heat burning blood, they can see strong heat and irritability, headaches like slashes, abdominal pain and diarrhea, epistaxis, spots, disordered mind, and red tongue coating, etc.
But she heard from the doctor that the symptoms of this person were headache and abdominal distension, disordered consciousness, spots, and symptoms were like the heat and epidemic, so the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital was to clear away warmth and detoxify, just like what Xiao Jingxuan said.
I don’t know if it was because she was sensitive or something, but she faintly smelled a fragrance on the patient’s body, which was very light. In fact, when she came in, she had noticed that one or two butterflies were flying around in several seriously ill people in the isolation area.
How can there be butterflies flying next to the plague person? Unless there is a problem with the fragrance on the patient.
Later she went to see a few people next door who were not very serious but were sane, but had no fragrance on them. Only those who were dying and those who were dying had a faint fragrance. No, the fragrance on the dead was stronger.
Chu Xinyu asked them, who did you meet during this period, or did you smell any fragrance before getting sick?
They answered that it was very general to meet people, but when they asked what fragrance they smelled, they unanimously said that when their relatives or friends were seriously ill, they smelled a faint fragrance, which seemed to be emitted from the seriously ill person, flowing in the air, and the fragrance of flowers outside the window, so they didn't care. Now when she asked this, they all remembered that this was the case.
She asked a few more people, and they all had one thing in common, that their relatives or friends were seriously ill or dead, and they all had a faint fragrance on them. Not long after they smelled the smell, they began to feel uncomfortable.
Chu Xinyu understood a little. In fact, these people were not suffering from plague at all. Their symptoms were similar to those of plague and were contagious. The root cause of this infection was the fragrance emitted from the seriously ill person.
She is not as familiar with aromatherapy as Lan Yi, so after Chu Xinyu realized the source of the bacteria, she immediately went out to let Lan Yi in. She is from Xiang's family and has been with the spices since she was a child. She will definitely know what these fragrances are and then find a way to rescue them.
When Lan Yi came in, she immediately changed her face when she smelled the fragrance. She didn't care about etiquette and pulled Chu Xinyu out, then took out a pill in her arms and stuffed it to her, saying, "Eat it quickly, don't you touch those people, right?"
When Chu Xinyu saw her face change, she knew that the matter was serious. She put the pills into her mouth without saying a word, then shook her head, "No, I didn't touch them."
Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get out of here soon."
"What's wrong?" Chu Xinyu asked.
"Leave first."
Seeing that Lan Yi didn't want to stay here at all, Chu Xinyu and she left the quarantine area with her. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Xie Zhengqing.
He was talking to the people from the Imperial Hospital. Chu Xinyu covered his face and thought he would not recognize him. Just as he was about to leave, he looked at this and walked towards them.
Chu Xinyu lowered his head slightly and wanted to walk past him.
Who knew that Xie Zhengqing called out, "Why are you here?"
"Did you recognize me?" Chu Xinyu looked up in shock.
Xie Zhengqing smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but now I'm sure."
Chu Xinyu was a little annoyed, but she quickly recovered and said, "We'll leave first, by the way, you don't want to go in." She reminded.
"We were about to go in and take the body out and burn it."
Xie Zhengqing received news that five more people were not caught in the morning, and the bodies could not be left in the isolation area and were to be carried out for cremation. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lan Yi blurted out: "It cannot be burned. Once the fire is burned, more people will be infected in the capital."
"What do you mean?" Xie Zhengqing glanced at Chu Xinyu and asked at Lan Yi.
Lan Yi looked at Chu Xinyu and said something was not what she said, but now she was in a hurry and there was no trace of concealment. Otherwise, more and more people will be infected in the capital by then.
Chu Xinyu knew that this was not a place to speak, but she knew Lan Yi. Seeing that she was anxious to pull her out just now, she knew that this contagious virus must be very dangerous, but she didn't know the people from the Imperial Hospital and did not want to disturb others, so as not to arouse Xu Zhilan's suspicion and let her find a chance to escape.
Now that he met Xie Zhengqing, he seemed to have the right to speak here when he saw Lan Yi looking at him, and then nodded slightly.
Lan Yi said: "These people will be infected with the smell emitted by the corpses. If they are cremated, the smell will spread faster. You cannot enter like this, let alone touch their bodies, because this is not a plague, but a contagious poisonous gas."
Chu Xinyu was afraid that he would not believe Lan Yi, so he promised: "What she said is true. Don't carry the body out for cremation."
Xie Zhengqing frowned slightly and said with a serious expression: "If you don't go to cremation, how should you deal with the corpse?"
A group of corpses had been carried out for cremation before. Not long after these people came back, they had headaches and vomiting. They have been sent here to quarantine. His cousin is one of them. If the cremation of the corpses, the first thing they have to do is to deal with these corpses.
