C1901 source of plague (2/2)
Luo Houzi said as his brows tightly knitted together, ”Not only that, I have a faint feeling that we're being watched. There must be a group of people spying on us, so we shouldn't stay here any longer! Don't forget the Führer's reminder, maybe the French will come and cause trouble! ”
Ba Ke and the Evil Doctor Huang knew that this was the territory of the Frenchmen, but as doctors, it was their duty to treat patients. Especially with this kind of plague, which spread across a large area, 200 people had already fallen in this port of three thousand.
”No, we can't just watch the people die in vain. If these Egyptians don't dare to lead the way, we'll find them ourselves!”
”Looking for what?” the soldiers asked in unison.
”Find the toilet!”
”Huh?” Everyone was dumbfounded.
Following that, the entire population of Suez Port noticed the actions of these lunatics. They did not guide them, but rather searched the city like carpets, entering the toilet before digging a deep well around the fecal pit.
In that era, there were no flush toilets, and no underground drainage system in the Suez. The toilet was just a pit dug in the desert, surrounded by reed mats.
The poor used the public toilets on the streets. Rich people would build their own toilets in their own small yards. In any case, the sand was dry all over the place, and the feces would soon dry and turn into waste. They would be cleaned up by burying them in the depths of the sand.
This was the habit of life in the Paleogene for thousands of years, but in the eyes of these bacteriology experts, this habit was extremely dangerous.
”As expected, the ground water has been contaminated …” After digging to five meters underground, he could already see the wet sand. The sewage samples here contained a large number of bacteria.
It took the Chinese medical team about four and a half hours to figure out the cause and effect of the plague.
”Let's go find the local officials! ”No …” Ba Ke suddenly thought about it, ”Let's go find the person in charge of the Canal Company. I think only the French can understand what we are talking about, they can't explain it to these locals!”
”To the French? Doctor Ba Ke, are you crazy … Aren't you asking for trouble? They won't care about us! ”
”It's one thing for the French to ignore us, but it's quite another for us to know the answer to the question and not tell them!” The stubborn British doctor Ba Ke was determined to meet the management staff of the Canal Company.
In Ba Ke's heart, as an Englishman, no matter how much the French hate the Chinese, they should at least give him some face.
But she never would have thought that at the entrance of the two story house, Ba Ke's group received a secret slam into their door.
The two French soldiers s looked at Ba Ke and his party as they raised their bayonets and shouted, ”Stop, you are not allowed to move forward! You all just came from the plague house, you're not allowed to get close to the company... ”Retreat!”
”Damn it!” How dare you shine your bayonet at us? Brothers, let's go up with our bayonets and see who's afraid of who! ” With Ma Hui's order, sounds of bayonets being pierced sounded out, and a row of Mauser's rifle with bayonets on their bayonets appeared in front of French soldiers's nose.
”You heartless thing!” We will deal with the plague for you, and you still dare to touch the bayonet even without thanking us! Try it if you have the guts... I won't kill you! ”
