Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 940: The Panic Captain (1)

As for Liu Jingxue, after arriving at the captain's house, she didn't dare to say much because there were other people from the Zhang family there. She just said that she had something to talk to the captain about and needed him to go with her.

Fortunately, she has always left a reliable impression on the captain, which makes the captain trust her more.

Therefore, even though she didn't even say what it was about, the captain went out with her.

After leaving Zhang's house, the captain followed Liu Jingxue into the depths of the village. There was nothing wrong along the way. The captain couldn't help but ask Liu Jingxue,

"Xiaoxue, what do you want me to take a look at?

Tell me first, so I can be mentally prepared."

The two of them were now walking on the main road of the production team, and there were many houses on both sides of the road.

Today is not like the previous few months when every household has closed their courtyard doors and the villagers have closed their doors and are staying at home to hibernate.

Now some people's courtyard gates are open, and some villagers are active in the courtyards. Through the open gates, they can see what's happening on the road.

Occasionally, villagers would walk by on the road and greet them.

Liu Jingxue didn't dare to tell the captain here. If he heard the shocking news and couldn't accept it and cried out, it would alarm the surrounding villagers.

As things are not confirmed yet, it is better not to reveal it now and cause panic.

Even if Wang Xiulan confirmed it after seeing the patient, she would have to wait until the production team had made arrangements before slowly revealing the news.

You have to know that plague is no trivial matter. In history, where plagues have occurred, nine out of ten houses in places ravaged by the plague were left empty, and there were cases of empty villages and even empty cities.

The villagers were deeply terrified of the plague.

It is better not to let too many people know before taking appropriate countermeasures.

Therefore, after the captain asked, Liu Jingxue did not tell him directly, but glanced around and saw that there was no one around, then whispered to him,

"Captain, Grandpa Zou and his men have something to ask you, and I'm just an errand boy.

Let them tell you when we get there."

In order to ensure a safe journey, Liu Jingxue simply passed the blame to Grandpa Zou.

I think even if Grandpa Zou knew about it later, he wouldn't blame her.

When the captain heard that it was Mr. Zou who was looking for him, he stopped questioning Liu Jingxue, and the two of them went all the way to the cowshed peacefully.

Knowing that Liu Jingxue would bring the team leader over soon, Liu Weihua did not lock the gate after Liu Jingxue left.

Even the door was just closed casually.

After Liu Jingxue led the team leader into the yard, she was worried that someone might follow them secretly and hear their conversation, so she locked the gate from the inside and led the team leader into the house.

Hearing the voices in the room, Liu Jingxue called out from outside the door to remind everyone in the room that the captain had arrived, then she pushed the door open and stepped aside to let the captain go in first.

Hearing Liu Jingxue's voice, the people who were talking in the room hurriedly got off the kang and prepared to greet the captain.

After all, they are now assigned personnel under the supervision of the captain, so they still have to observe the proper etiquette.

Fortunately, because of the relationship with Mr. Zou, Wang Xiulan and Liu Jingxue, the team leader was quite respectful to the people in the cowshed and never put on airs every time he came.

After a few people greeted each other, the team leader took off his thick clothes and shoes, and everyone sat down on the kang together.

After everyone was seated, the captain spoke first, "Mr. Zou, what do you want me to do?"

After hearing what the captain said, Mr. Zou glanced at Liu Jingxue. Seeing her smiling at him, he realized that this person used this as an excuse to trick the captain over.

Mr. Zou did not blame Liu Jingxue. He simply followed the captain's words and told the general story.

Of course, they have not yet discussed some of the response measures they have discussed if this is really an epidemic.

They just told the captain about their suspicions and wanted him to arrange for Wang Xiulan to diagnose and treat each patient to confirm the facts.

You know, if it was a cold, every family would go directly to the clinic to get medicine, and no one would come to Wang Xiulan to take the pulse.

When the captain heard the news, he felt dizzy and his vision went dark.

He was originally sitting cross-legged upright, but he quickly rested his elbows on his legs and held his head in his hands.

He had to hold it in his hand. If he didn't, he felt like he would fall down in the next second.

Seeing the captain's reaction, Mr. Zou knew that he couldn't accept the news all at once.

He happened to be sitting next to the captain, and he quickly reached out and patted the captain on the back to help him calm down.

"Don't worry, the situation is not certain yet, and it is not certain whether it is an epidemic or not.

Now it was just Xiaoxue who felt something was wrong after hearing what the barefoot doctor told her, so she was a little worried.

She didn't know any medical skills, so she had to ask her aunt to help her make a diagnosis."

"Without you leading the way, Xiulan wouldn't dare to rashly go to the villagers' homes.

So I can only ask you to arrange it."

Mr. Zou tried to persuade him for a long time, and the others also echoed him, and finally the captain calmed down a little.

The captain opened his mouth to speak, but after a long time, he found that he couldn't say anything.

I guess I was too nervous and lost my voice.

Liu Jingxue, who was sitting opposite the captain, noticed the captain's situation and quickly picked up the tea that Wang Xiulan had prepared for him.

"Captain, drink some water to moisten your throat before you speak."

When handing the water over, Liu Jingxue secretly smuggled some spiritual spring water into it.

Nothing can happen to the team leader. If an epidemic really breaks out, he is the backbone of the production team and he will have to arrange everything.

Get him some spiritual spring water to drink, so that he can survive this blow and reduce his risk of infection.

Worried that the captain couldn't bear it and couldn't hold the bowl of water steadily, Mr. Zou simply took the bowl himself and brought the water to the captain's mouth.

I don’t know if it was because he was really thirsty or because he heard the bad news, but the captain wanted to seek a sense of security by doing something.

After General Zou brought the water to his mouth, he opened his mouth and drank. In just a few seconds, the whole bowl of water was gone.

After drinking some water, the captain calmed down and finally found his voice.

"Are you sure it's a plague?" the captain asked in a hoarse voice, his voice a little harsh.

But at this moment, no one was in the mood to worry about this.

Zou shook his head and denied it, "I haven't even seen the patient yet, how can I confirm it?

Just from what the barefoot doctor said, Xiaoxue felt that the disease was highly contagious.

After all, those who came to him to get medicine were all patients in the same family who had several colds and fevers.

So I don’t want you to arrange for Xiulan to take their pulse.”

Wang Xiulan added, "In addition to arranging for me to diagnose the pulse of patients in the village, Captain, you must also arrange for people to go to nearby production teams, communes, and towns to gather information.

See if there are a large number of patients with colds and fevers recently.

Just looking at our production team, we cannot necessarily confirm whether it is a plague.

If it’s a large quantity, then I’m afraid the problem is almost certain.”

The captain's heart was lifted up and then dropped down, he had no idea what was going on.

He seemed to hear his own heartbeat, so loud that it felt like the beating of a drum.
