Chapter 128 Could it be a plague?
Doctor Lin’s wife lifted the curtain and walked out with a haggard face.
She said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Lin is sick, you should go find the Yun family's doctor."
The people who came turned around and ran towards the Yun family camp.
"Master, more than a dozen of our brothers are unwell. I'm afraid they will delay our journey today."
Yun Yi brought his men to report the situation of the secret guards to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo, who had resolved a big issue last night, looked refreshed.
"How's it going?"
"I've called Yunwu over to see him. Most of them have fevers, and some are vomiting and having diarrhea."
Yun Mo thought of the situation in Luochu City, frowned and asked Yun Yi, "How many of these sick secret guards went to Luochu City to carry out missions?"
Yun Yi, "Only three of them have passed through Luochu City."
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Yun Mo was worried and wanted to go and see it in person.
"Look, where is Third Master Yun!"
Six villagers from Linjia Village rushed straight towards Yun Mo, shouting, "Third Master Yun, help!"
Yun Mo stopped and looked at the villagers, frowning unhappily. His little nephew, who was born in the mountain village, cried until Ling Chen woke up last night. His mother and second sister-in-law coaxed him all night, so naturally he hadn't woken up yet.
Yun Yi shouted, "What are you yelling about? What happened?"
The leading villager stepped forward and saluted, "Third Master, someone in our family is sick, and we would like to ask Doctor Lu or Doctor Yun Wu to come over and take a look."
"Isn't there Doctor Lin?" Yun Mo wondered.
The villagers said anxiously, "We just went to ask for help, but Doctor Lin is also ill."
Yun Mo and Yun Yi looked at each other, and they could tell from each other's eyes that this matter was unusual.
"Go and invite Doctor Lu out." Yun Yi ordered the secret guard passing by.
"What are the symptoms of the sick person in the family?" Yun Mo asked the villagers.
"My grandson's face is red with fever."
"My old man was vomiting and having diarrhea. He got up several times a night and was completely exhausted."
Yun Mo didn't show it on his face, but he felt a pang in his heart. This symptom was very similar to that of the secret guard.
Doctor Lu was dragged by the secret guards and walked quickly, whispering, "Slow down, slow down! The ground is slippery, be careful with my old bones!"
After pulling him in front of Yun Mo, the secret guard handed the medicine box back to Doctor Lu, saluted and turned away.
"Where is the patient?"
Yun Mo pulled him aside and whispered, "The symptoms of the villagers in Linjia Village are exactly the same as those of the secret guards. The secret guards have Yun Wu, so you should pay more attention to the villagers. I suspect they contracted the plague in Luochu City."
"Plague?" Doctor Lu was shocked and quickly took out a mask from his sleeve and put it on.
"I just have a preliminary suspicion."
Doctor Lu nodded repeatedly, thinking it is better to be cautious. "I can save myself the trouble."
Doctor Lu left with the villagers, and Yun Mo, with a cloth tied on his face, walked towards the secret guard camp.
Yun Wu came early and ordered people to isolate the sick secret guards in a tent.
The sick secret guards seemed to be in good mental condition. Those who were awake were talking and laughing, while those who were unconscious looked pale but nothing special could be seen.
"How are they?" Yun Mo asked the busy Yun Wu.
Yun Wu pointed at the two people who were sleeping and said, "They fainted last night and fell asleep after taking anti-diarrhea medicine this morning."
"Could it be a plague?" Yun Mo was a little worried. After all, the situation in Luochu City was so chaotic.
Yun Wu looked serious, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's hard to say. I've already picked up the medicine and boiled it. It depends on their reaction after drinking it."
At this time, the secret guard came in with a pot of burning mugwort.
"Fifth brother, where do you put the mugwort?"
Yun Wu pointed to the empty space in the middle of the tent and said, "Let's put it here."
"How much mugwort is left?" Yun Mo asked.
"When they see me on the road, they will ask the brothers to pick some. There are still a lot." Yun Wu understood what he meant. "Do you want to burn some in each tent?"
"Well, let everyone have some smoke."
For a moment, the entire camp was filled with smoke and an atmosphere of terror.
Doctor Lin fell down, and the Yun family took action. Even though no one said anything, everyone was worried.
Lin Yinan was awakened by the smoke of mugwort. She was the only one in the tent, no one else was there.
The porridge was warm in the pot for her. She ate some in a hurry. The smoke choked her and made her eyes tear up. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she found a sickle and prepared to go to the woods to cut some grass.
When she walked out of the tent, she was stunned by the scene before her. Not only her tent, but the entire camp was filled with mugwort smoke.
What happened to the camp?
Yun Mo came over and saw Lin Yinan holding a sickle and staring at the camp in a daze.
After last night, she no longer tried to cover it up, and her bulging belly was already very obvious when viewed from the side.
Yun Mo's eyes softened instantly.
"Anan, do you want to go out?" he called softly, afraid to scare her.
Lin Yinan came back to her senses and saw his tender eyes staring at her belly, and her heart suddenly felt uneasy.
"Well, I'll go cut some grass."
She said dryly, then turned and walked towards the woods.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yun Mo hurriedly said, "I suspect that someone in the camp has been infected with the plague in Luochu City. If you have nothing to do, stay in the tent and don't walk around."
"Plague?" Lin Yinan paused, turned and looked at him.
Yun Mo's eyes were bright. "Yun Wu and Doctor Lu have isolated the person. We have to wait until tomorrow to see how effective the medicine is."
Lin Yinan nodded slightly. In this era of plague, apart from taking good personal protection, all one can do is to do one's best and leave the rest to fate.
She continued walking towards the woods, and Yun Mo followed her a few steps, "I'll go with you."
Lin Yinan waved his hand and fled away.
"I can go by myself."
Yun Mo had no choice but to stop, took a deep look at her thin and frail back, turned around and strode towards the camp. He remembered that he had pickled a lot of bacon in the village, and would send some back to her to nourish her body.
When Lin Yinan came back from mowing the grass, she met Lin Tiezhuang's sister-in-law. Seeing Lin Yinan carrying a large bundle of grass, she hurried forward to help.
"Anan, you are heavy, so don't carry something so heavy."
Lin Yinan is very strong, so this weight is nothing to him. "It's okay. I'll be careful."
Yun Mo said that there were more than a dozen secret guards who were sick, so she asked, "Sister Tiezhuan, how are the Yun family's secret guards doing?"
"It's nothing. I think those dozen secret guards got sick because of the rain. Apart from them, everyone else is fine."
In addition to mending clothes for the secret guards, Tiezhuan's sister-in-law spends more time taking care of the children rescued from Luochu City.
"What about the children who were rescued?" She was thinking about the little girl.
"Everything is fine, but the young girl may be difficult to raise. Doctor Lu said that she was frightened and had a poor appetite. If she is not taken good care of, she may have difficulty growing up." Tiezhuang's sister-in-law sighed.
After saying goodbye to Sister Tiezhuan, Lin Yinan went back to put down the sickle and grass, and headed towards the Yun family camp. She was going to see the little girl.
"Hey, you shamelessly begged the Yun family for a status yesterday, and today you can't wait to show off everywhere?"
Lin Qiutou stood in front, holding a basket in her hands, staring at Lin Yinan with a half-smile in her eyes, with undisguised mockery and sarcasm on her face.
