Chapter 181: Smallpox Kills
"What's going on?" Mother Zhou saw the little girl running over, frowned and greeted her, she has been teaching them for a while, how to do things are still shocked? There has been no growth at all.
"Little, little boy, miss, they're all sick...... the little girl was stunned, and hurriedly replied, but when she spoke, she glanced at You Xiaoya who got off the carriage a little timidly.
"All sick?" When You Xiaoya heard her say this, she stepped forward and asked.
"This afternoon, the little boy was fine in their school, so he came back earlier, and the young lady saw that the son and they were back, so she ran to play with them, but I didn't expect that when I just went back to the yard, I had a fever, and I invited the doctor to come over and said that I had a cold, but at this time, there was a sudden presence in the Mushui Garden, and there were two girls who also started a high fever, and the doctor said, "......"
The little girl was full of panic and anxiety no matter how she spoke, but after looking at You Xiaoya's obviously not very good face, she paused and almost didn't know how to continue.
"What did the doctor say?" You Xiaoya was inexplicably a little apprehensive in her heart.
"The doctor said, smallpox!" The little girl looked at everyone's eyes, and the huge pressure made her tremble a little, and finally mustered up the courage to say these two words.
"Smallpox?!" Zhou's mother was simply stunned, these two words can be regarded as a distorting word in today's society.
Zhou's mother remembered that when she was a child, her home was not in the area of Jinjia Town, but in a small village extremely far away from here, the village was very beautiful and harmonious, and there was a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, and every spring in their village, their friends in the village would go there in groups to pick locust flowers.
But one year, a person from other places fell under the locust tree, and the village chief saved him, but within two days, the village chief's family also fell ill, and even the people who had taken them to see the village chief were sick one by one, and then someone from the county came. A lot of people were locked up, and then someone died, and then a lot of people died.
The village was in chaos, and her father saw that something was wrong. took her to escape from the village overnight, but that night an army arrived in their village, and she saw that the army was killing people, and the people she had seen on weekdays were killed, including Wang Mazi from the next door. The fat yellow man at the end of the village, the widower at the mouth of the river......
She was frightened, but in the chaos she escaped with her father, who told her that all the people in the village had smallpox, a disease that would surely die, more terrible than the plague, and that the court would not allow them to escape.
However, she still had a big life and escaped from that chaos, so she was worried about smallpox. Except for fear, there are almost no other words to describe it.
You Xiaoya was stunned when she heard the little girl say the word smallpox, and then suddenly thought that in ancient times when there was no vaccine, this disease had an unimaginably high mortality rate, those children, they, they ......
Hardly daring to continue to think, You Xiaoya walked quickly towards Hanxiang Courtyard, Zhou's mother came back to her senses and hurriedly shouted, "Madam! Madameβ"
But at this time, how could You Xiaoya still hear this, and in the blink of an eye, she shook off Zhou's mother's boss. Zhu Ziyu followed behind You Xiaoya, he knew that You Xiaoya cared about these children. But he knew what smallpox meant, so he decided he couldn't put her at risk until he figured out the situation.
It's just that what You Xiaoya didn't expect was when she rushed to Hanxiang Courtyard. There were a lot of people around the door, and even the girls in her yard were all outside, and they didn't dare to take another step forward in fear.
For these people's hearts, You Xiaoya Dafan can still understand, after all, it is human nature to be afraid of death, and she can't ask anyone to sacrifice themselves without hesitation. It's just that seeing such a situation at this time, it is inevitable that I feel uncomfortable.
"Get out of the way!" You Xiaoya, who was not a good-tempered person, came to the periphery of the crowd at this time, and before anyone saw her, she drank a sentence, and the tone was extremely heavy, but anyone with brains knew that she was in a bad mood, so after seeing her, the group immediately gave way.
"Husband, madam......" A few little girls in Hanxiang's courtyard chattered, and the whole person shrank behind her, as if she was afraid that she would drag them into the courtyard again.
"Madam, you can't go in, the doctor said, ......" Seeing that You Xiaoya was about to go to the courtyard without hesitation, someone hurriedly grabbed her.
"Let's go, all of you." You Xiaoya knew that she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and felt that it really didn't mean much to lose her temper, and just as she thought, why should others sacrifice for you? So when she said this, her tone was a little calmer.
"But ma'am, it's smallpox......"
Those people know that as a servant, it is extremely unpleasing for the master to do such a thing when the master is in trouble, but when they think of this as a fatal thing, even if they feel guilty, they can't take their own lives, right?
"So I can watch those kids die?" You Xiaoya got rid of the person who grabbed her, and said very calmly.
"Don't go in yet, I'll go check it out first!" You Xiaoya was just about to go inside, but Zhu Ziyu grabbed her again.
You Xiaoya looked at him quietly, "My life is up to me." β
Throwing down this cool-sounding sentence, You Xiaoya strode into the courtyard, Zhu Ziyu was stunned and then followed.
In the past, You Xiaoya used this sentence to motivate herself when she encountered anything that seemed impossible to change, she didn't believe in heaven or fate, she felt that everything could be changed into what she wanted according to her own wishes, and she still believes so now.
Of course, this is still to be the case of why she came to this place inexplicably, which cannot be studied with scientific research, but she has reduced it to the little thing that she can't control outside of her palm.
When You Xiaoya entered the room, she instantly felt all kinds of low air pressure coming from the house, and she could vaguely hear a few cries.
"Crying for what? Miss is still nothing to be cried by you! Xiao Cui'er's voice was suppressed and a little sharp.
ββ¦β¦β
"Hmph, you little girls, it's a shame that Mrs. treats you well on weekdays, but when you encounter something, you turn your face one by one and don't recognize people, all of them are wolf-hearted things!" Xiao Cui'er snorted, and her tone was not good at all. (To be continued.) )
