It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 154

No matter how Jiang Yan tried to persuade her, Baoqin either remained silent or said that she had her own plans. She also followed Fu closely and did not give her a chance to get close to her.

Chunying didn't get anything out of her, she just knew that it had nothing to do with her and was not a pressing or important matter.

There is nothing I can do but give up.

Jiang Yan continued to go out early and come back late, either going to the mountains to find food, or waiting near the north gate for news of Sun Yun and the others.

Just when she was planning to go to the East City Gate, an epidemic broke out in the city.

To be precise, there were signs a few days ago, but because most people did not have the habit of seeking medical treatment, the people in the city only knew that someone nearby had fallen ill and died.

But isn't this a common occurrence? Injured and exposed to the elements, many people can't find enough food to eat, and die of illness or starvation. It all depends on whether one can physically endure.

So until today, some people could no longer bear it and rushed into the doctor's home to see a doctor. After asking questions and making connections, they found out that the so-called sporadic patients had already spread throughout the city.

Panic spread quickly.

As a result, Jiang Yan could hear the noise in the city even though he was only a mile away from the city gate. He saw the people rushing out of the checkpoints and the garrisoned soldiers packing up their bags and fleeing as soon as they heard that an epidemic had broken out.

Although Jiang Yan didn't know the source of the disease this time, she knew it could be spread through a few different routes. She tore off the corner of her clothes to cover her mouth and nose and quickly fled, looking back at the endless stream of people fleeing in all directions.

It's very difficult to control.

Jiang Yan was upset. She was so focused on finding the traces of her fellow villagers that she forgot to remind everyone to be alert to the epidemic that was likely to occur after the disaster.

Especially during this period of alternating high temperatures and rain, the city was littered with corpses that had not yet been buried, creating a natural breeding ground for disease.

After returning to the village, she quickly informed Fu Nulang and others who stayed behind that an epidemic had occurred in the city, and then asked them to review whether they had any risky behaviors such as drinking raw water or having close contact with patients in the past few days.

Thanks to Jiang Yan's "picky" habit of not drinking boiled water, and the fact that they had no extra utensils, they had been drinking boiled water during this period.

As for the possibility of contact with patients, people usually prefer to stay indoors or stay away from strangers to avoid getting into trouble.

If we really talk about risks, the one with the highest exposure risk among their group is Jiang Yan, who frequently approaches the provincial capital, followed by Chunying.

But there was no abnormality in the bodies of either of them, and after they came back, they all stayed in the same room, so no one specifically brought this up.

However, Jiang Yan still planned to cover her mouth and nose with a cloth all day until it was safe.

Jiang Yan chattered in the house, pouring out all the epidemic prevention knowledge he knew, and then asked Zhou Li to accompany him to notify other residents in the courtyard.

Everyone is now in the same boat. If someone accidentally gets infected and spreads the virus within the village, forcing them to move out without any preparation, there will be no more dirty words to say.

Jiang Yan walked a few steps to the room of his aunt whom he had not seen for several days. Before he knocked on the door, the door opened automatically and the two looked at each other.

Was she anticipating someone coming to see her, or was she keeping the door cracked to monitor the neighbors? Jiang Yan was puzzled, but time was running out. After quickly explaining the current situation and the precautions, she immediately knocked on the next door.

Not all residents who stayed in the village were willing to listen to Jiang Yan, and many of those who did listen did not believe the truth of the matter or the preventive measures she shared.

Jiang Yan had no other choice but to repeatedly emphasize to them that they should keep an impression and consciously avoid patients when they meet them. The rest he could only hope that he would do his best to reduce the risk of infection as much as possible and find a relatively safe place to hide.
