The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 351 Cowpox

The middle-aged man looked pale and his eyes were dazed.

It seemed as if all the strength in my body had been drained away at the moment I fell.

"what happened?"

His action caused quite a stir.

This caused the team behind him to stop.

"girl!"

Ding Qiao also felt inexplicably nervous.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Looking at the frightened crowd, Ye Xinran tried her best to keep her tone calm.

“This guy has chickenpox, which is contagious.

From now on, except for these few people, everyone will step back twenty steps. Continue to keep up with the pace of the team in front. "

"Chickenpox? What is chickenpox?"

"I do not know?"

"never heard of that!"

"It's not cowpox, is it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seven or eight people around slapped the man who talked about cowpox on the forehead.

The cowpox they referred to was the plague of that era.

It is said that if there is one person infected with the disease in a village, no one in the entire village will escape.

It is said that there was a man who had cowpox and hid in a county town.

Seven days later, everyone in the county was infected with cowpox. The state government sent soldiers to dig the moat outside the county deeper than a person's height to prevent anyone from escaping from the city.

There are heavy guards outside the moat. If anyone dares to escape along the moat, he will be shot into a hedgehog.

In this way, the city gates were closed for a full six months. Half a year later, the court sent people to open the city gates for disinfection.

At this time, the people in the city had already turned into corpses.

According to people who have seen it, there were really piles of bones all over the ground, it was a horrific sight.

There is more than one such legend.

So when people mention cowpox, they feel a chill in their hearts.

It seems that as long as these two words are mentioned, the air around them will become a little colder.

"Hurry up, what time are we at now? How dare you mention those two words?"

"Bah bah bah!"

The person who just mentioned cowpox quickly spat twice on the ground.

Then he put his hands together and said, "I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it as an offense, Bodhisattva!"

……

After the team had moved away, Ye Xinran glanced at the few civilians who stayed behind, including Shunzi, and asked, "Let me ask again, when did Ermao get sick?"

The middle-aged man finally came to his senses at this time.

He tried hard to recall what had happened in the past few days, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out how Ermao got sick.

"When we left home three days ago, the child was still fine."

He said, "At that time, he didn't cough or feel itchy. He even smiled and told me that if he could catch a pheasant this time and sell it at the market, he would go home and buy his mother a pair of flowered cloth shoes."

The middle-aged man looked at Ermao and said, "If he was like this, I couldn't take him into the mountains!"

Ermao's symptoms seemed to be getting more and more serious.

While everyone was discussing, he had no time to talk. He just reached out his hands and scratched hard inside his clothes, as if he wanted to peel all the skin off his body.

Da Mao, who had been standing nearby, knelt down with a plop.

"My lord, my lord, please save my brother. He was not sick at all when he was at home. He became like this after coming down from the mountain."

Damao wiped his tears as he spoke.

While wiping her tears, she also reached out and scratched her ears.

After a few scratches, the ears and the skin behind the ears were scratched red.

"Da Mao, are you itchy?"

Ye Xinran had some guesses in her mind.

"I, don't feel itchy."

But although he said that he didn't feel itchy, his hands had already begun to reach back unconsciously.

Pull open his collar and take a look.

Ye Xinran gestured to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took a step back: "No, no, no, I can't get close, let him take it off himself."

"Why can't you get closer?"

Ye Xinran took a step forward and grabbed Damao by the collar.

I saw many red dots starting to appear on Damao's back.

She let go of her hand, wiped her fingers carefully with a silk handkerchief, and then said to the middle-aged man: "This disease can be transmitted through breathing. You have been together for so many days, and it is too late to start hiding now."

"how come?"

"how could be?"

The man and the other two disciples all showed expressions of horror.

"This, this is cowpox! If you get it, you will die!"

The middle-aged man's voice trembled, "We didn't do anything in the mountains, and we didn't meet anyone. How could we get sick?"

"Why didn't you meet them? Didn't you meet those three barbarians?"

Unlike their nervousness, Ye Xinran remained calm.

When Ding Qiao heard the middle-aged man say the word "cowpox", she quickly took out a handkerchief from her clothes and covered Ye Xinran's mouth and nose.

Ye Xinran pushed Ding Qiao's hand aside and smiled softly, "It's useless. We have been talking together for so long, if it was to be uploaded, it would have been uploaded long ago."

"Miss!"

Ding Qiao's eyes turned red.

The young lady worked day and night on the journey, making medicine and warming patches, and she didn't get much good sleep.

I had already walked most of the way when I encountered this kind of thing again!

Who did they offend?

Shunzi had always felt sorry for these people's plight, but when he heard the word "cowpox", his mind went blank.

"Are you spies from the Kosi tribe?"

"You are here to harm us, aren't you!"

Shunzi reacted and drew the knife from his waist, facing his fellow villagers with red eyes, "You are here to harm us!

We have finally come here, but you want to kill all our troops here!"

Ye Xinran was somewhat relieved that Shunzi could think so far ahead.

"I'm going to kill you!"

As he said that, Shunzi swung his knife to chop.

The middle-aged man quickly grabbed his arm: "Brother, calm down, we really didn't mean it, we don't know what happened!"

"Shunzi!"

Ye Xinran called out to him.

"It's no use killing him now. They have been in the team for so long, those who are supposed to be infected should have been infected by now."

"What should I do?"

Shunzi didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I'll find a way to cure the disease."

Ye Xinran remained calm and composed.

Shunzi then remembered that after returning to the team today, everyone said that Miss Lu was an immortal.

I also envied him for being able to sit in the same carriage with the immortals.

"Lu, Miss Lu will definitely find a way to save us, right? The food hasn't been delivered yet, we can't die here!"

Shunzi looked at Ye Xinran with tears in his eyes.

"must."

Ye Xinran patted his shoulder.

Then he turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Tell me in detail what happened in the past two days.

Did you have any contact with the barbarians?

If you had contact with them, did you find anything abnormal about them?"

The middle-aged man recalled carefully.

"We really didn't have much contact with them. If they caught up with us, we would have been dead long ago..."

"No, wait a minute..." The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly remember something.
