The Village Doctress Chapter 565: Convincing Huangfu Ling (5)
The biggest official that the little soldier usually sees is the centurion. Now he is led by the lieutenant general to salute a prince, a prince and a princess. At that time, his legs trembled nervously, and his face was very pale.
Seeing this, Huangfu Jin said gently: "Don't worry, I just asked you to come here to ask some questions."
The little soldier felt better after receiving such a comforting sentence.
Huangfu Ling's deputy general reported: "Your Highness, Princess, this soldier is a fellow villager of the first person who died of the disease, and he was very close to him before his death. What do you think of Your Highness and Princess? If you ask, you can ask him."
Huang Fujin winked at Lin Fufu, who nodded.
He took a few steps closer and asked the soldier some key questions.
The soldier naturally knew everything, and soon Lin Fufu knew the life of Huangfu Ling, the first person to die in the camp.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the dead man was looking for food in the camp.
Lin Fufu narrowed his eyebrows, and then asked the soldier if the first group of people who died were all looking for grain and grass, or were they soldiers who often haunted the granary.
Finally, she got a confirmed answer.
"So what if the dead people looked at the grain and grass or often walked around the granary? What does this mean?" Huangfu Ling asked sarcastically.
Lin Fufu glanced at him, "If I'm not mistaken, this strange disease came from the granary!"
"What? It came from the granary?" Huangfuling laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke.
Lin Fufu looked at him coldly and smiled without making a sound, and neither did Huangfu Jin.
When Huangfuling had laughed enough, he straightened up, looked at Lin Fufu with disdain and said, "You're still a genius doctor in Wei, I think you are worse than a quack doctor!"
Then he paused, and suddenly pointed to Lin Fufu and asked, "You said that this strange disease came from the granary in my camp, so do you want me to set fire to the granary in my camp?" Burned?"
Lin Fufu hadn't seen a patient suffering from the "Black Death" at this time, it wasn't that she didn't want to see it, it was Huangfu Jin who strictly prevented her from seeing it.
The most important thing for her now is to investigate the cause of the onset of the disease. It can be said that she is still not 100% sure that the epidemic is the most terrible black death among the plagues.
"There is no need to burn the granary. I was afraid that you people would starve to death instead of being tortured to death by a strange disease." Lin Fufu gave him a squinting look, and the corners of his lips curled up mockingly, "My lord, no Everyone's mind is like yours."
Huangfu Ling's face turned red when Lin Fufu pushed him, and he said in a low voice, "Then what do you mean?"
Lin Fufu didn't pay attention to him at first, but took a look at Huangfu Jin, and sighed: "My previous guess may be right, this terrible strange disease may be brought by rats."
Huangfu Jin nodded with a dignified expression.
Although he did not understand why this strange disease was brought by rats, Lin Fufu had explained the concept of plague to him before, and Huangfuling, a soldier, confirmed that the first group of people who died were more or less close to the There are more opportunities in the granary, and he believes in Lin Gospel's words even more.
On the other hand, Huangfu Ling looked at Lin Fufu like a monster, and then burst into laughter again, "Haha, you said that this strange disease is related to rats?"
Lin Fufu just turned around and looked at him with a very serious expression, "I think it's the plague, the plague brought by rats. If the prince doesn't understand the plague, you must have heard of the plague!"
As soon as Lin Gospel said the word plague, not to mention Huangfu Ling, everyone present turned pale.
Especially the old military doctor's complexion has turned pale.
It is because he knows more that he is more afraid.
"You... you're talking about...human plague?" Huangfuling stammered for a long time, staring at Lin Fufu with a blank face, "Are you sure it's really human plague?"
Bei Rong called the plague a human plague. As the name implies, it is a plague caused by humans. The fatality rate is almost 100%, and the probability of infection is fast and fierce.
Lin Fufu didn't answer him, but just looked at him fixedly.
Huangfu Ling felt that Lin Fufu had just acquiesced, and he was so flustered that he never dreamed that this strange disease was actually the legendary human plague?
"Five emperors...do you still remember?" Huangfuling suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Huangfujin's arms, "It is recorded in some historical books in the library of our Beirong Imperial City that our Beirong The ancestors of the Rong Kingdom experienced human plague several times, with thousands of households dying and thousands of towns crying. If the surviving ancestors hadn't married a few other tribesmen who had survived the catastrophe, there would be no Beirong people at all! "
Huangfu Jin brushed his hand away lightly, looked at him fixedly, and said coldly: "It's good that you know."
For the first time, Lin Fufu knew that several large-scale plagues had occurred in the ancestors of Beirong, and the casualties were so heavy.
This reminded her of Great Wei again. Before she came to Beirong, Her Royal Highness the Princess had told her that there had been plagues in the history of Great Wei, but the scale of the outbreak was not too large, and they were all killed in the end. After controlling it, although the loss of population is not small, it has not shaken the foundation of Great Wei.
So, from this aspect, the Wei people are much more tolerant of natural and man-made disasters than Bei Rong.
Of course, this is also related to the geographical location of Beirong. The west of Beirong is connected to another continent, and the people of that continent are often called barbarians with contempt by the Beirong people.
After several centuries of development, the merchants of that continent have now opened up a commercial road connecting Beirong Kingdom. Every year, a large number of barbarian merchants drive camels and carry their goods to Beirong to do business.
Lin Fufu suddenly remembered his previous life and the origin of the Black Death.
Combined with the several large-scale plagues that occurred in the history of Beirong, she felt that things might not be as simple as she imagined.
But at this time, Huangfu Ling's attitude towards Lin Fufu has turned 180 degrees, "Princess Jiahe! It was this king who was the one before, it was this king who was rude! But please look at the fifth emperor brother. For the sake of the hundreds of thousands of lives in my camp, think of a way to save them..."
"Do you think anyone can cure this kind of disease?" Of course, Lin Fufu would not ignore it, but she couldn't pat her chest on her shoulders on such a major matter, "Even if it needs to be cured, the Princess I also want to get all-round support from you, my lord, whether it is in terms of manpower or material!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Ling glanced at Huangfu Jin vigilantly, and seeing that his expression was also serious, he was relieved, as long as Huangfu Jin didn't want to take advantage of the opportunity to have any thoughts.
"This king knows that Dawei's medical skills are excellent. There have been several plagues in Dawei in history, but it did not hurt Dawei. The medical skills of the imperial doctors who came here!" Huangfuling flattered first, and then patted his chest to promise, "As long as the people on the side of the princess need it, the king will definitely cooperate with it!"
Lin Fuling knew in his heart that this Huangfuling was so afraid of the plague, so he should have made it clear to him as soon as they met, so as not to waste so much talk.
For Huangfu Ling's promise, Lin Fufu expressed his satisfaction.
Huangfuling felt even more relieved when she knew that it was the plague and hadn't returned to Da Wei, and hurriedly asked, "Princess, what do you think we should do now?"
Lin Fufu ignored him, turned to Huangfu Jin and said, "Hurry up and send people to look for cats in villages and towns that have not yet developed the disease, the more the better!" Lin Fufu handed over the matter of finding cats to Huangfu Jin, She really didn't trust Huangfuling, she was afraid that he would send soldiers to harass the people brutally in order to find the cat.
Huangfu Jin knew what she was thinking when she saw her eyes, so he just said, "Don't worry."
Lin Fufu nodded, and then looked at Huangfuling, "Now, please order everyone to stay away from the granary, and build a high wall around the granary, and then spread fine nets on the high wall."
"Why?" Huangfu Ling's eyes widened.
Lin Fufu frowned, "Quarantine! Then let the cat in to catch the mice."
What Lin Fufu thought was that the rats in the granary would not starve to death and would not run out. And put more cats in and let the cats catch mice to eat, because cats with high walls can't jump out, so they can only catch mice everywhere to fill their stomachs. Even if some cats can jump so high, they can't escape with a fine net.
It's just that I have no choice but to feel sorry for those cats.
Even if the rats are caught, the cats cannot be released immediately, at least the next door must be free from plague for a long time before they can be released.
When Huangfu Ling knew what Lin Fufu meant, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Then the king sent someone out to catch the cat!"
"No need, this king will send someone there." Huangfu Jin gave him a cold look, which made Huangfu Ling angry again.
But thinking that he had other things to do on his side, he turned around and told his lieutenant general, "Have you heard the words of Princess Jiahe just now? Hurry up and send people to build the wall, and send those who guard the granary Pull them all out and shut them up alone for ten days and half a month!"
The lieutenant general led the way.
When Lin Fufu saw that he had issued the order, he raised his eyelids and asked indifferently, "My lord, what did you do that is so shameful that you have twenty troops marching all the way south?"
Huangfuling's face darkened when he heard the words, staring at Lin Fufu and asked, "Princess, what are you talking about?"
"It's a good thing that someone in your army got the plague for no reason. There must be rats carrying the plague mixed in somewhere." Look, it won't be brought from the northern part of Beirong, because no one has been reported to have the "Black Death" in the imperial city of Beirong and the north.
As for the southern part of Beirong, apart from where Huangfu Ling's team passed by, there was no other place where anyone got this.
So, everything points to Huangfu Ling, it must be something his army did on the way south.
Huangfuling stared, muttering: "Mouse, mouse..."
"Oh! I remembered..." Huangfu Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration. When Lin Fufu raised his eyes and stared at him, his expression turned ugly.
