Chapter 9 Disaster

 

48

 

When Nan Yunshan, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, four young people of the same age, were discussing how to punish the thugs in urban management, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in mainland China disrupted their original plans. After discussing with Nan Yunshan and others, they decided to suspend the crackdown on urban management thugs. The first priority is to ensure the health and safety of your family and yourself.

The 2019 coronavirus disease outbreak in mainland China is raging. According to currently recognized statistics, the onset of confirmed cases in mainland China is December 1, 2019. The first patient to go to the hospital may appear on December 12. On December 26, Zhang Jixian, a doctor of respiratory and critical care medicine in Wuhan, first discovered and reported the pneumonia of unknown cause, and suspected that the disease was an infectious disease. Afterwards, a large-scale outbreak of the disease occurred in Wuhan City. On January 23, 2020, the Wuhan New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters announced the adoption of blockade and isolation measures for the epidemic area. This is the first time in modern public health history that a large city with a population of 11 million has been blocked. On March 12, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China announced that, in general, the peak of the epidemic in mainland China has passed. On March 23, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and head of the Central Epidemic Response Team, announced that the spread of the local epidemic in China, with Wuhan as the main battlefield, has been basically blocked; However, there are still several outbreaks across mainland China.

Faced with the sudden outbreak of coronavirus, Nan Yunshan was at a loss. He couldn't understand how the epidemic was caused? The only thing he can do now is to take care of his elderly grandfather He Jiafu together with his mother.

Although Nan Yunshan's mother, He Zhonglan, is illiterate and illiterate, she believes in folklore.

Several local old ladies and old men often came to He's house to chat. One day, an elder called the old fairy said to He Zhonglan and those old men and women:

The twelve zodiac signs are a kind of living custom handed down in our country since ancient times. The talk about the twelve zodiac signs began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no word before the Han Dynasty. That is to match the "twelve hours" with the "zodiac signs", also known as "zodiac signs", to form the rat, the ugly ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, and the monkey. , You chicken, Xu dog, Hai pig. 2019 is the Year of the Pig in the lunar calendar. The Year of the Pig is a typical "Year of the Passing God of Wealth" that occurs once every 60 years. For people with the zodiac ox, the Year of the Pig is a relatively auspicious year. . Hai pig is the Tai Sui this year, and it has the power to nourish the ugly soil. The whole social atmosphere revolves around money this year. The problem is that we have tried hard, but it is difficult to succeed, because there are too many stupid pigs and villains.

2020 is the Year of the Gengzi Rat, which is the year of the zodiac rat, also known as the year of "Tai Sui". As the saying goes: "Tai Sui sits on the head, no disaster is a blessing." This year, the zodiac rat is a bit bad in dealing with others. It is easy to face people or things that you don't like, and it is easy to cause unexpected disasters. .

At this time, Nan Yunshan and his sister Nan Liwa also came to join in the fun. The old god continued: According to Chinese folk statistics, there will be a catastrophe every year of the rat. The historical disasters of the past 120 years are even more creepy.

Although the old god lives in the countryside, he looks stable and elegant, with the demeanor of a man in a big city, full of charm. He likes calligraphy, painting, playing and singing, and is obsessed with making bonsai. He is even more eloquent about Yi Xue. It is difficult for locals to compare him with the local old farmer archetype.

He considers himself an expert in the study of modern Yi-ology, just because he participated in some Yi-ology research meeting. But the old god is a little weird, he is notoriously a troublemaker. For example, he said that Marxism originated from Yi Xue theory, and that dialectical materialism is actually yin and yang gossip.

At this time, the old fairy said with great interest:

"The gods are sad for the Year of the Pig and Rat, and man-made disasters and plagues are so dangerous." Liu Bowen, the founding prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, once predicted that "ten sorrows will be sad for the year of the pig and rat". He predicted that major disasters will occur in the year of the pig and rat. Coincidentally, 2019 and 2020 are the year of the pig and rat. A series of plagues broke out in China. Including African swine fever, plague, new crown pneumonia and other epidemics, especially the rapid spread of the new crown pneumonia virus around the world in a short period of time, it seems that Liu Bowen's predictions have been fulfilled one by one.

The old god said that looking back over the past 120 years, every year of the rat in China was not peaceful. The first Year of the Rat in the 20th century was 1900. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Power Allied Forces incident occurred. A large number of residents were killed and displaced in the war. Later, the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1912, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War in 1924, the Xi’an Incident in 1936, and the Taiyuan Incident in 1948. Battle, 1960 Chinese famine.

In 1972, the June 18 flood occurred. From June 16 to 18, Hong Kong experienced heavy rain for three consecutive days, causing serious disasters. Landslides and building collapses occurred successively in the wooden house area on Tsui Ping Road in Kwun Tong District and Xu Wo Building in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island. A total of 156 people were killed and 117 were injured.

Then came the Battle of Two Mountains in 1984, the Lijiang Earthquake in 1996, the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, and finally the COVID-19 in 2020. At present, the whole world is still fighting against the virus. Wuhan, Hubei, which is the most affected city, is still under lockdown. In the state of a city, a big city with a population of tens of millions suddenly becomes a doomsday empty city.

The old god said to the old men and women, have you heard of the seven evil spirits? Qisha is also known as Qisha and Pianguan. Qishayun is a kind of horoscope Universiade, which refers to the year when the Qisha star commits a crime. The Seven Evil Stars are one of the 14 main stars in Ziwei Doushu, and they are the evil stars of the main "killing". The seven evil stars are like a knife, which means that the knife will hurt my body, such as disease, villain, gangster, accident, prison, lawsuit, financial loss, etc.

The old god eloquently talked about the main hazards of the seven evil spirits:

One is health problems, especially accidents and bloody disasters, such as traffic accidents, accidental falls, burns, fractures, etc.

The second is to prevent financial loss. For example, during this Universiade, a son will lose his family and spend money like running water; he will lose his wealth by being stolen or deceived; his family or himself will lose his wealth due to illness, catastrophe and other bad luck.

The third is to pay attention to marital problems caused by the seven evil peach blossoms, especially to avoid extramarital affairs, or financial loss and bloodshed due to extramarital affairs. The Qisha Peach Blossom is a typical rotten peach blossom that sees the Seven Fiends and the Peach Blossom at the same time.

The old god turned his face and said to Nan Yunshan and Nan Liwa:

How to break the seven evil spirits? There are no absolutes in everything, and there are two sides. If the "seven evil stars" are favored and noble people in the fate, there is a certain possibility of good luck if you run the seven evil stars. Volunteer". However, as far as career fortune is concerned, it represents "unexpected harvest", that is, "inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shade", that is, "fame and fame on different paths", and conditions are required for such a pattern to truly appear. A real winner can always face up to the pressure. There is a saying: "Successful people know how to endure, and failed people know how to escape."

The old god suddenly sighed: Li Wenliang is an ophthalmologist at Wuhan Central Hospital. He was called the "whistleblower" of the epidemic because he first issued a prevention and control warning to the outside world on December 30, 2019. But unbeknownst to many, a new type of coronavirus is quietly wreaking havoc in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan. What Li Wenliang didn't know at the time was that it was not the SARS virus, but a brand new virus. But soon after, he was warned and criticized by the local police station for "publishing false statements on the Internet". The Public Security Bureau found him, asked him to sign a letter of admonition, and issued a stern warning to him, admonishing him that if he does not follow the advice and repent and continue to engage in illegal activities, he will be punished by law. Now that Li Wenliang is dead, he has not survived the virus, nor can he escape the admonition of the police. Some described him as a hero, but worried about what Li Wenliang's experience reflected in China's national conditions. In the future, if doctors find signs of infectious diseases, they will be even more afraid, and they will not dare to warn in advance. Others commented that China needs tens of millions of Li Wenliangs in order to have a safer public health environment.

The old god was still chattering, and Nan Liwa and those old men and women still listened to his talk about how dangerous man-made disasters and plagues were in the Year of the Pig and Rat. At this time, Nan Yunshan got up and walked away. He no longer gathered together, and he was thinking about what his next move should be.
