Chapter 1223 The County Magistrate Escapes

The two of them didn't get tired of it. Bai Ruozhu went to diagnose and treat the patients, while Jiang Yichun arranged for manpower to continue to thoroughly investigate the source of the ghost and the plague.

Just when Bai Ruozhu was giving the patient a visit, Zhou Shu called the door again.

Bai Ruozhu's face darkened, "Nothing good will happen this week."

Sun Jia also sighed when he heard it, "I wonder how many more will be sent today."

Bai Ruozhu walked straight out, and Jiang Yichun also came from behind and gave her a comforting look, fearing that she would get angry due to the increase in the number of patients.

Zhou Shu's scalp felt a little numb when they saw him, and he hurriedly said: "Three more people were discovered today, and they are not serious."

Bai Ruozhu looked over and saw that they were indeed three early-stage patients. She sighed and arranged for someone to take them to the early-stage patient area.

"At least the number of new patients has not increased, which should be considered a good thing, indicating that the disease has been controlled." Zhou Shu touched his nose and found something to comfort the two of them.

Bai Ruozhu gave him a big eye roll, "There were five new patients the day before yesterday, three yesterday, and three more today. The total adds up to eleven patients. This is not an increase. Your skills must not be good."

Zhou Shu shrank his neck, "Then I will continue to take people for disinfection to prevent the plague from spreading again."

Jiang Yichun pulled Bai Ruozhu's sleeve. Zhou Shu couldn't blame him for this. He waved to Zhou Shu and said, "Go ahead. You should also pay more attention to your health."

Zhou Zhou hurriedly bowed and left. He felt that every time he sent a patient, it was like committing a felony. He was really unlucky.

"Now that the situation inside is stable and Dr. Sun can handle it, let's continue to the town to check." Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun nodded. If he couldn't find anything in one day, he might have clues in one more day.

Bai Ruozhu told Sun Jia a few more words, then took off his isolation jacket and went to town with Jiang Yichun.

Unfortunately, the two of them walked around the town and found nothing new. Bai Ruozhu felt strange. Could it be that the plague was really man-made or sent down from heaven?

Because they found nothing, both of them were a little depressed. Bai Ruozhu thought about it and said, "Let's go and see if the wonton stall has been set up. Let's eat wontons."

"Okay." The sadness in his brows dissipated, and he felt much more relaxed as long as she was by his side.

Fortunately, the old couple setting up the stall came out again. As soon as they passed by, the old couple suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them. Bai Ruozhu was so frightened that she wanted to go forward to help them, but then she remembered that she was in contact with a patient. He quickly retracted his hand.

"Thank you two adults for making the decision for us people. Yesterday we, the old couple, didn't know that they were noble people. Later we heard that the county magistrate was arrested, and we finally understood after thinking about it." The old man said with a grateful face.

The old lady also said: "We are too stupid. How can we accept your money and return it to you?"

Jiang Yichun stepped back and let go of the money handed to him by the old lady, and said: "Old man, don't be polite. It is only natural to give money for meals. No matter what official you are, you have to give money. Even if the emperor pays a private visit incognito, there is no reason not to give money. You just accept it." Come on."

"Yes, get up quickly. We have been in contact with patients and cannot help you. If you don't get up, we won't eat the wontons." Bai Ruozhu said hurriedly.

The old man and the old lady looked at each other and then slowly got up.

"Master and Madam want to eat wontons? Then I'll go get some wontons now," the old man said.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "Thank you, old man, I don't want green onions in my bowl!"

The two of them ate hot wontons. The old man refused to accept the money this time. He said that five taels of silver was enough for many meals, so Bai Ruozhu and the two couldn't force it any more.

The two returned to the quarantine area. Although they found nothing, they finally ate delicious wontons and felt better.

But soon bad news came, and news came from Zhou Shu again.

"Master Jiang, Ma Jun let him out through his confidants, and now he has escaped from Guangqi Town." Zhou Shu said.

Jiang Yichun's face turned cold, "The county government left it to you, how do you look at people?"

Zhou Shu had a look of shame on his face, "This is a subordinate who neglected his duty. I am willing to be punished by you."

"Have you found out where Ma Jun escaped?" Jiang Yichun asked.

"My subordinates inquired and said that Ma Jun has some relationship with Futai, and he may have gone to Futai." Zhou Shu said with some annoyance: "My subordinates have sent an urgent letter to the emperor, and we must not tolerate this matter."

"Assuming that you handled it properly, I won't punish you for the time being and give you a chance to make meritorious service. If you do well in subsequent tasks, you can naturally offset this dereliction of duty." Jiang Yichun said with a straight face.

Zhou Shu saluted hurriedly, "Thank you, sir, for giving me this opportunity."

After Zhou Shu left, Jiang Yichun sent a secret report. The people in the court could not stop Ma Jun. Was there nothing he could do?

Treatment in the isolation area is still ongoing. Fortunately, there is one thing to be happy about, that is, two of the initial patients in the area have begun to improve, and several others have also controlled their conditions.

Among the two people who got better, one of them was Xie Er. When he learned that he had improved, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my life would be so bad. I don't care about it, but I'm getting better. So, don't worry about it all the time. Think about it." If I eat well and drink water like this, I will definitely heal quickly."

Another patient who was getting better chased Bai Ruozhu and asked, "Can I go home if I feel better? There are seniors and young children at home."

Bai Ruozhu shook his head apologetically, "When you recover, you can isolate yourself from the early-stage patients, but you can't leave immediately. Even recovered patients can still have the virus latent and can still infect others. They must be quarantined for seven days to half a month. observe."

I thought the patient was going to make a fuss over this, but he said very considerately: "Listen to Dr. Bai, just observe, so as not to pass it home to your family."

Bai Ruozhu nodded. It was right for the patient to think about his family.

As a result, in the evening, Zhou Shu suddenly came again and sent two newly discovered patients. Bai Ruozhu was stunned when he saw the two people. They turned out to be the old man and the old lady from the wonton stall!

She felt nervous. Wasn't it because she and Ah Chun were in contact with sick people and then went to eat wontons at other people's stalls, thus infecting the two old people?

As soon as the old lady saw Bai Ruozhu, she smiled and said, "Madam, we are also coming in. It is most likely that my son contracted the disease and passed it on to us."

Bai Ruozhu had inquired before that the old couple's son was named Sun Fu and was still in the early stage patient area. His condition was not serious.

She checked them both and found that they were both in the early stage, so she personally sent them to the early stage patient area. When Sun Fu saw his parents coming, he burst into tears and insisted that he had harmed his parents.

"Silly boy, who can stop the plague? It spreads quickly, no one is to blame." Old Suntou comforted his son.

I will continue to add more updates today, and I will continue to ask for monthly votes, hehehe~
