After resolving the crisis of the underground party, Xiang Nan returned to Bailuyuan.
And found Mr. Leng and asked him about the medicinal materials reserve.
Mr. Leng listened to Xiang Nan's suggestion and has been hoarding medicine for the past two years.
It's just that his personal financial resources are limited, and it coincides with a severe drought in the world. Not only the food harvest is cut off, but the production of medicinal materials is also affected, so there are not many medicinal materials in total.
"No, we still need to store more medicine." Xiang Nan said to him.
"Little God, tell me why you store so many medicines?" Mr. Leng asked suspiciously.
"After a great disaster, there must be a great epidemic." Xiang Nan explained.
Catastrophes will lead to a large number of deaths of the population, and will also lead to an imbalance in social order.
The large number of population deaths and the imbalance of social order will prevent the corpses from being buried in time. The exposed corpses rot and deteriorate, which will lead to the growth of a large number of germs.
Moreover, the movement of disaster victims will also lead to the spread of germs. The Chinese people relocate to their homeland, and they are unwilling to leave their homes unless they have no means of survival.
Therefore, even if there are infectious diseases, because the scope of activities of the people is limited, they are often limited to one village, one township, or one county. But under the famine, the victims fled everywhere, spreading the germs everywhere.
In addition to the catastrophe, the immunity of the human body will also be greatly reduced. Just like those disaster victims, all of them were malnourished, skinny and skinny, and the diseases that could be borne hard in the past will be easily defeated now.
Therefore, after the great disaster, there must be a great plague.
"Plague?!" Mr. Leng was taken aback.
As a doctor, he knows how terrible the plague is.
If the lethality of hunger is one, then the lethality of plague is one hundred.
A living person who only drinks water and does not eat for three to five days will not be in danger of life. But if you contract the plague, even if you have diarrhea, you will die within two or three days.
Therefore, hunger alone will not exterminate the genocide, but the plague may cause the tragic phenomenon of "no rooster crows for a thousand miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild", which can be said to be a hundred times more terrible than a drought.
"There will really be a plague?" Mr. Leng confirmed.
"There will really be a plague." Xiang Nan nodded, "Hu Lie La, if we don't treat it in time, at least half of our village will die."
Mr. Leng's expression froze immediately.
Huliela is commonly known as cholera, and its scientific name is also called cholera. This is an acute infectious disease. Patients will suffer from severe diarrhea and vomiting, leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and muscle spasms. In severe cases, circulatory failure will lead to death.
In ancient times, the mortality rate was close to 50% to 60%, and in severe cases, it could even reach 80%. It can be said that once it is not handled properly, the destruction of villages and clans is certain.
"Okay, I'll store the medicine right away." Mr. Leng nodded.
Xiang Nan also took out a bag of ocean and handed it to Mr. Leng, "All the folks with a radius of tens of miles rely on you."
Mr. Leng took the money and nodded.
Human life is at stake, and at this moment, he can't care less about being polite to Xiang Nan.
…
Soon it will be June. Seeing that corn, sorghum, and millet are about to be harvested, God also rained a few times at the right time, making the seeds more swollen.
The folks are also very happy, thinking that this year must be a good year. In this way, they don't have to go hungry anymore, and they finally recovered.
But I didn't expect that the harvest was about to be bumper. Suddenly, a large swarm of locusts appeared from nowhere, covering a large area like a dark cloud, covering the sky and covering the sky and blocking the sun.
Wherever they went, trees, weeds, crops, and even the window paper pasted on the windows were all eaten up. After the locusts passed through, there was almost nothing left in the field, and everything became bare.
Seeing that the harvest is about to be bumper, but encountering such an accident, the villagers simply want to cry but have no tears.
"My corn, my sorghum, God, aren't you playing tricks?"
"After the drought is over, there will be locust plagues again. God, give us a way to survive!"
The folks couldn't help crying, feeling that fate was really playing tricks on people. The drought was finally over, but there was another locust plague, and there was really no way of life left.
…
At this time, people remembered Xiang Nan's prophecy.
Two years of severe drought, half a year of locust plagues, and half a year of plague.
Now that the drought and locust plague have come true, I am afraid that the plague is not far away.
Thinking of this, the folks are also anxious and anxious all day long.
"Hei Wa, will there really be a plague?" Bai Jiaxuan found Xiang Nandao.
Now people in the village are terrified, afraid that they will get the plague at some point, so they dare not even go down to the ground these days. He said that he would die at some point, so what else would he be farming.
And this kind of emotion is obviously not suitable for spreading, otherwise, before the plague comes, everyone will dig their own graves.
"Really." Xiang Nan nodded, "Hu Lila, at least half of the whole village will die by then."
"So many?!" Bai Jiaxuan was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Then what should we do? Is there any way to save it?"
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, and then came up with ten strategies to prevent and control the plague.
In fact, cholera is not a terrible disease, and it has been extinct in many areas. Only those remote and backward areas with poor medical conditions still have cholera.
Moreover, as long as prevention is done well, this disease can be prevented very well.
Bai Jiaxuan took a look and saw that there were drinking hot water, eating cooked food, washing hands frequently, cleaning the streets, clearing water sources, excrement, killing mosquitoes and flies, disinfection, such as vomiting, diarrhea, timely isolation, etc. It is not difficult to do .
"Can this work?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.
"As long as you do these things well, at least 80% of them can be prevented." Xiang Nan explained.
Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
Being able to prevent 70% to 80% is not bad.
He then posted the precautionary notice and asked children to make it into a nursery rhyme to sing.
"Huliela, it's not scary. Drink hot water and eat cooked food. Wash your hands frequently and cut your nails..."
After some publicity, the villagers finally feel at ease.
Many people follow suit, but there are also those who are careless and careless, and do not follow the ten strategies for prevention.
So very soon, Bai Xing'er, who was in charge of breeding the animals, began to have diarrhea, and within two days he collapsed on the kang and couldn't get up.
Xiang Nan went over and saw that it was Hu Liela.
"Have you washed your hands, cut your nails, drank hot water, eaten raw food... Does it hurt, does it deserve it?" Xiang Nan asked.
Bai Xing'er just didn't take the ten measures of epidemic prevention seriously. He drank raw water and ate raw food.
"Little God, I don't dare anymore, please save me quickly, please." Bai Xing'er repeatedly begged for mercy.
He ran four times and was almost exhausted.
Xiang Nan got the medicine for him, and ordered someone to seal the door of his house, neither letting anyone in nor coming out. It will be fine for seven days before the seal can be lifted.
If you dare to expose it privately, you will become an enemy of the whole village and be subject to family law.
After this incident, the whole village was scared and dared not take it seriously.
