The old man is the old man in the village, the kind of person who is highly respected, and he is very authoritative in the village, and he is not very clear about how to call Li Su, but the old man's words made the Wang brothers change their faces.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my brother? 3rd or 4th? Wang Zhuan was so anxious that his face quickly turned red.

In these years, medicine is backward, and if you want to be cured of minor illnesses and pains, you have to rely half on decoction and half on the will of God, and the Wang brothers can't help but be anxious.

"The third child, the fever is terrible, and there are red spots on his body, and he is sick in the afternoon, and the two of them don't go back to see it." The old man was angry and slapped the Wang brothers twice.

Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi didn't resist, and the old man was too happy, so he stomped his feet vigorously, didn't care about greeting Li Su, and ran away.

The old man glared at Li Su with unkind eyes, Li Su smiled at him, and hurriedly saluted: "This ...... Grandpa, the kid also went to take a look and said goodbye. ”

"Get out! Miscellaneous goods. ”

…………

Running all the way, Li Su came to Wang's house panting, but found that the periphery of Wang's courtyard was full of people, and many villagers came, and everyone looked frightened and pointed at Wang's courtyard carefully.

Li Su's heart sank.

With so many people coming, and all of them showed such expressions, the third child of the Wang family is probably not as simple as a fever and a cold.

Outside the courtyard, several strong men from the village stood side by side, separating the courtyard of the Wang family from the crowd of onlookers, and an old man with a cane waved his hand to the crowd of onlookers with great majesty.

"Scattered, scattered! What's so nice? Be careful if you get sick, do you want the whole village to die? ”

The onlookers became more and more frightened, and the crowd took several steps back.

Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi arrived home before Li Su, but at this moment they were held by someone, and the brothers kept struggling to rush into the house, but they were stopped by the old man with a cane.

"Come in and find the dead, little bastard, stay outside honestly, and leave a seed for your Wang family."

Wang Zhuan's red eyes glared at the old man, and he said with tears: "What's wrong with my father?" What's wrong with my brother? ”

The old man hesitated for a while, then swept the crowd of onlookers, and then said slowly: "Your brother is infected with smallpox......

Wow!

The onlookers retreated several feet suddenly, and several timid aunts immediately opened their mouths and howled, and after howling twice, they were slapped by their own men and drowned out.

The old man looked at Wang Zhu with a gloomy face, and he didn't know whether to explain to the two brothers or to the whole village, and then said: "This morning, your mother took your third child to the next Niutou Village to visit the door, and when you came back in the afternoon, your brother was not right, he had a fever all over his body, and there were red spots on his face, just now the news came from Niutou Village, more than 20 people in their village were infected with smallpox, and your brother is afraid that he is also infected with ......."

Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi's tears suddenly burst out of their eyes, and the struggle became more and more intense, Wang Zhu shouted in a hoarse voice: "Where is my father? What about my mother? What about the fourth? Daddy, Mother-"

In the Wang family's big house, there was a depressed male voice: "The eldest and the second one, don't howl, stay away from home, smallpox kills, your mother has touched the third, I have touched your mother, the third child went home and teased the fourth, all four of us may be sick, can't go out and hurt the villagers, you are fine, fortunately you are playing outside in the afternoon, listen to Grandpa Zhao's words, don't go back to this home, can't go back, leave a seed for our Wang family, leave the village today to go to your uncle, and live a good life in the future......."

"Dad, mother-" The brothers of the Wang family cried, exerting all their strength to break free and rush into the house, the old man surnamed Zhao was furious, swept over with a cane, and staggered the two brothers, and said angrily: "Tie up these two cowards!" ”

Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi were soon tied up strongly, crying constantly, the old man Zhao turned around and shouted towards the Wang family's big house: "The Wang family is in charge, you are righteous, do not harm the villagers, the villagers will remember your great kindness, in the future, your house and your land will be passed on to the two brothers, no matter how bad the year is, one person in the village will also pull the two brothers to adulthood, in the future they will marry their mother-in-law and give birth to a baby, and the villagers will be happy." ”

A choked voice came from the house: "Uncle Xie Zhao and the villagers are kind, my Wang family has received it, and the two boys in the family will ask the villagers to take care of it. ”

Old man Zhao had a gloomy face, sighed heavily, turned around and began to order.

"Call a quick leg to go to the county office, tell the official that there is a plague in Niutou Village and Taiping Village, please send someone quickly, and then go to Chang'an City to invite two doctors, please be polite, to be honest, don't cheat, the doctor will come if he wants to come, and if he doesn't want to come, Mo Qiang invites, and also, everyone in charge of the family will bring back the aunt and the baby, no one is allowed to run around the door, dare to run around and pick up the immortal! Each family took turns to arrange a few people to guard outside the Wang family's courtyard, and whoever dared to approach would be pumped to death. ”

The old man's prestige in the village is not small, after speaking, the villagers have taken their mother-in-law and children back with kicks, and a few other people ran out of the village, respectively to Jingyang County Ya and Chang'an City.

The two brothers, Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi, were carried away, and the two brothers wept and wept, and they still couldn't believe that a poor but warm home had been destroyed so suddenly.

In the crowd of birds and beasts, Li Su stood still, quietly watching the life and death that the most humble people in the world had just experienced, sighing, pity, fear, and sadness...... In all kinds of expressions, the family's parting has become a foregone conclusion.

The ear was tugged hard, and then the buttocks were kicked lightly and heavily.

Li Su turned around, but saw his father Li Daozheng staring at him viciously.

"What are you doing with melon skin, but also porcelain? Get out of here and dare to run around and break your legs! ”

Li Su pointed to Wang Zhu and Wang Zhi, who were carried away: "Wang brothers, they ......"

Li Daozheng had a gloomy face, raised his eyes and glanced at it, sighed and said, "Brother Wang will live in your grandfather Zhao's house first, and then talk about it when the plague passes, the Wang family...... It's ruined. ”

Turning his head and glancing at the Wang family's mansion again, listening to the sound of crying from inside, Li Daozheng's eyes were cold and showed a little pity, like looking at a lonely tomb.

************************************************************

Disaster struck without warning.

Within five days, smallpox quickly infected five villages in Jingyang County, and it has a tendency to continue to spread.

Jingyang County is only more than 60 miles away from Chang'an City, the news of the plague is scattered, and the people of one hundred and eight squares in the capital of Chang'an are all in a panic, and the imperial court moves quickly, and a Tai Yi of the Tai Yi Department orders two Tai Yi Cheng to lead more than 40 doctors of the Tai Yi Department to go out of the city and go to the countryside with a full cart of medicinal materials, and at the same time Jin Wuwei also sent a general to lead the army out of the city, isolating the villages in Jingyang County and prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving.

Even more terrible than the plague are panic and rumors, which are more devastating than disease.

The villagers in Jingyang County were scared, and they dragged their families to flee outside the village, and they didn't care where they fled to, the important thing was to leave the devil's hellish hometown and save the lives of the family, even if they were homeless beggars.

The entrance of the village was firmly guarded by the soldiers of Jin Wuwei, and the villagers could not go out at all, and the general who led the troops ordered the sticks to drive the villagers away with sticks in tears, and the county commander knelt behind the soldiers, and kowtowed to the villagers while crying to make amends, asking the villagers to guard their homes and not let the plague spread more and more.

Painful, touching, sad, and helpless, scenes are staged outside the capital of Chang'an. Disasters are like mirrors in the sun, shining people's hearts clearly.
