MTL - The First Assistant Teased Me and Gave Birth To a Cub-Chapter 871 Mosquito
Chapter 871 Mosquitoes
Gu Yunjiao was also worried about heatstroke for these imperial soldiers, so as long as they stopped at the official post, she would make herbal tea for them.
The people in the flood discharge area have now moved to the vicinity of Yangzhou City, which is more than 500 miles away from Xiangcheng.
More than 500 miles, after five days, we arrived in Yangzhou.
When we arrived outside the city of Yangzhou, we saw that the city gate was closed, and along the base of the city wall, there were shacks built by the common people everywhere, all because of the flood discharge from the nearby villagers.
The soldiers on the city wall saw officers and soldiers coming, and put down the hanging basket from above.
Gu Yunjiao handed the emperor's letter to the commander of the forbidden army, and the captain put the letter into the hanging basket.
Gu Yunjiao walked around and asked the people, "I'm a doctor, is there any one of you playing around?"
The people shook their heads.
Someone told Gu Yunjiao, "The sick people are concentrated at the North City Gate, and our side is fine."
"On the way there, we cut down trees to stop them, and they couldn't get over."
Gu Yunjiao nodded and said nothing.
After a while, the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and the Imperial Army escorted Gu Yunjiao in two columns.
Some people near the city wall also rushed towards the city at this time.
The soldiers guarding the city took up long spears and tried their best to drive the people away.
The people cried, "Sir, let's go in, we'll get the disease even if we stay here."
The soldiers ignored the crying people, drove them away, put up the drawbridge, and closed the city gates.
The Imperial Army escorted Gu Yunjiao to the Yangzhou government office first.
Lord Prefect just got the news and hurriedly came out to greet him.
Gu Yunjiao met with Wu Zhifu, and she said straight to the point: "First, find a few patients to come and show me, I want to determine what kind of disease they are suffering from."
Wu Zhifu said hesitantly: "I'm afraid this will not work."
"Doctor Gu doesn't know that this disease is contagious, and more and more people are infected. This official dare not open the city gate. If the people in this city also contract the disease, the situation will become more and more difficult to control."
Gu Yunjiao can't be 100% sure that these people are infected with malaria at this time. She thought about it and asked first, "Are all the people who are sick now outside the city?"
Wu Zhifu Road: "The patients are all concentrated near the North City Gate and the West City Gate. I haven't heard of anyone contracting the disease in the city."
Gu Yunjiao thought for a while, "Then I'll go out of the city to diagnose and treat patients."
The prefect of Wu knew the identity of Dr. Gu. The officers and soldiers guarding the city had read the manual and had already reported it to him.
The prefect of Wu hesitated for a while, "Here, Doctor Gu, once you leave the city, it's not easy to enter the city again. After all, in case you bring the epidemic back to the city—"
Gu Yunjiao said, "If this disease is really what you said in your book, this disease will not be contagious at all."
"No, I was inaccurate, it is not transmitted through human-to-human contact."
"Because it's mosquitoes that spread the disease."
"Mosquitoes **** the blood of sick people and then bite healthy people, healthy people will be infected with malaria."
Gu Yunjiao looked at the prefect of Wu with a half-smile, "Unless Lord Wu covers the entire Yangzhou with a mosquito net."
Wu Zhifu was a little anxious, "What should I do? Mosquitoes can fly when they grow wings. Maybe there are such mosquitoes in the city."
Gu Yunjiao pondered: "Everything will wait for me to see the patient first, and then I will confirm it."
The prefect of Wu himself did not dare to take the risk, so he sent a cronie to take Gu Yunjiao out of the city from the north gate.
Gu Yunjiao left the color screen behind, and only brought two soldiers and Wu Zhifu's cronies out of the city.
She distributed homemade masks to several people, and instructed everyone to tie up their sleeves and trousers before leaving the North City Gate.
