Su Mian then touched Xiao Hua, and it was the same symptom of dispiritedness.
Su Mian inspected Da Hua and Xiao Hua’s bed only to find out that there was vomit outside of it.
It appears that they might have eaten something bad. Su Mian fed the two of them medicine, but still wasn’t relieved yet and went to the second floor to look up some information about their condition.
Su Mian’s current physical points were at 50. In terms of her perception, her spiritual energy was at 15. Now, as long as she had seen the object once, she could remember it. Her kindness points were at 20.
At this time, Su Mian suddenly thought about a document that she had seen. In 1995, the country had reported about the first case of the Norovirus. In the end, many places got infected, causing a Norovirus epidemic from infective diarrhea.
The main symptoms were nausea, stomach pain, headache, fever, and muscle ache. An outbreak began after 2-3 days, but the virus mutated very fast. Moreover, cross-infections and reinfections could happen. A minority of the cases would become acute and lead to death.
Could it be that Da Hua and Xiao Hua had been infected with the Norovirus?
Correct diagnosis! Congratulations for obtaining 2 kindness points.
Wen Wen appeared while fanning himself.
Doesn’t that mean that someone near me would be infected with the Norovirus?
I am not at liberty to inform you!
Tch.
Su Mian rolled her eyes and fed Da Hua and Xiao Hua oral rehydration salt. This was the interstellar medical treatment for children with Norovirus. More serious cases would need intravenous infusions.
Su Mian once again went back to the second level to check for the cure as well as its spreading channels. This time, after coming out from the second level, Da Hua and Xiao Hua already regained a bit of vigor and began drinking water.
On the morning of the second day, Su Mian told He Qin to pay attention to everyone’s hygiene and how everyone should wash their hands after working. She also told her that food should be cooked before eating.
After Su Jin Long finished his morning excercise, he ran into the house in a flash, “Not good. Something big has happened in the village. It’s an epidemic, a contagious disease. It’s quite powerful too.”
“What’s wrong?” Su Jiang Hai was washing his face and just casually wiped it after hearing what was said.
“Old Guo’s family at the western end had gone to make funeral arrangements in the morning. After they ate breakfast, they prepared to go to the cemetery, but the people who ate breakfast had all collapsed on the ground. Every one of them were vomitting and foaming by the mouth. Now, no one dares to go inside their home. Dad, you should not go there,” Su Jin Long finished his words in one ago as he had been heavily frightened.
Su Mian was stunned. This was not Norovirus as the spread of the disease was too fast.
As everyone of them ferviously finished eating breakfast, Liu Da and Liu Er came in their house.
When Liu Er saw Su Mian was home, he did not exchange pleasantries anymore, “Uncle Su, Doctor Ma said to ask Su Mian go help take a look at Old Guo family and see what exactly is wrong.”
Su Jiang Hai looked at Su Mian with a bit of worry. He only had this daughter after all.
“Little Mian, you are a girl, don’t go,” He Qin had been slightly afraid after hearing Su Jin Long’s explanation. Even Doctor Ma could not find out the cause of the disease, the matter would not be as simple as they had hoped.
Su Mian knew that her parents were worried, but Doctor Ma had already asked the brothers to find her, and she was also an apprentice of the ghost doctor. Helping the dying and healing the injured was her duty, “Dad, Mom, rest assured. Nothing will happen. It’s not an infectiuous disease. I will go take a look,” Su Mian took the medicine box and followed Liu Da and Liu Er to Old Guo’s house.
Su Jin Long did not say anything and followed along. At the most important point in time, he would protect his sister.
Su Mian’s medicine box had gone through a few days of accumulation. She had already packed in the basic medical tools and products.
Now, normal cold, fever, and diarrhea would not pose a problem to her.
Old Guo’s house was in the west of the village. It had three rooms inside. Many people had surrounded it, but none dared take a step inside.
After Doctor Ma arrived, only then did a few brave teenagers follow in.
“Su Mian, you have come. This way,” Doctor Ma waved at her.
Su Mian took out gloves and masks, one for herself to wear and another for Doctor Ma.
Su Mian squatted down and took a look. The people on the ground were still twitching and trembling from head to toe. She suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Did someone call an ambulance?”
“Already did.”
