Time passed like that.

In the middle of the month, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Tian finally dealt with everything in the disaster area.

Relatively speaking, it is not difficult to solve the problems in the disaster area, as long as those people can have enough to eat, have a place to live, and block the mouth of the Yellow River.

Of course, the matter of the mouth of the Yellow River was already in charge of the special personnel of the imperial court, and Qin Tian did not need to focus on it, they mainly wanted to settle the rebel refugees.

After this was solved, they did not stop long, and rushed directly to the direction of the capital.

The New Year is getting closer and closer, and on this day, when the army is rushing, snowflakes suddenly fall in the sky.

The snowflakes were fluttering and huge, as if they were going to cover the whole world.

The army encountered such a heavy snowfall, and could not move forward, so they could only find a place and set up camp.

After the army set up camp, the snow was still falling, and Yu Chi Baolin and Qin Huaiyu were not very old in the end, and their enthusiasm for snow was not comparable to others.

So after settling down, several people split into two camps and had a snowball fight on the snow.

The snowball flew in the air, and it hit Cheng Chumo's face in fear.

Laughter, noise.

Qin Tian sat in the middle of the battle and roasted the fire, listening to the frolicking of those children outside, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, these children seemed to be carefree forever.

It was as if they had never thought about the consequences of the snowfall.

"Alas, I originally thought that I could rush back to the capital before the New Year, but now that it has such a snow, I'm afraid it will delay us for a few days, and when we return to the capital, it will be the New Year."

Next to the fire, Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt a little sad, he was still a very homesick person, thinking that after going back, he could spend the New Year with his family, but now it seems that it is unlikely.

After saying this, Cheng Yanjin picked up a bowl of drunken beauty and drank it, the drunken beauty was already warm, and after drinking, it made people feel warm all over their bodies.

Qin Tian sat next to him, and couldn't help but think of the two ladies in the family, he couldn't spend the New Year with them this year, and he didn't know if they would be lost.

The wind and snow were still blowing, and the barracks were soon silvery white, and the children seemed to be tired of the snowball fights, and they were building snowmen at this time, and they had to compare to see who made them.

Laughter and laughter outside still come from time to time.

Time passed like that.

And just as the New Year was getting closer and closer, Chang'an City also had a heavy snowfall.

The heavy snow finally stopped on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

After the heavy snow stopped, the east and west cities gradually became lively.

As dusk drew to a close, a man in his fifties left the West Market to leave the city.

His name is Zhang Yi, and the people in the village call him Lao Zhangtou, since the rise of vegetable greenhouses in their village, they have planted vegetables almost every year, and in winter, they have pulled vegetables to Chang'an City to sell, which has also made their lives a lot better.

At the beginning of the heavy snow, the people of Chang'an came out, so today's business was surprisingly good.

During the Chinese New Year, whether it is dignitaries or ordinary people, they are actually very willing to spend money, so although they know that it is more expensive than usual, they are still willing to buy some to eat.

It's just once a year, and I'm really sorry for myself if I don't eat.

The vegetables were sold out at noon, but Lao Zhangtou was not in a hurry to go back, but walked around the West Market, wanting to buy some food and toys for his two grandchildren.

One of his two sons went to war, and the other worked as a farmer at home, so he usually went to find some odd jobs to do, so he took very little care of the two children, so the two grandchildren fell to Lao Zhangtou and his wife.

The two grandchildren are only five or six years old, and it is the time to grow their bodies, so the meat for the New Year must not be less, and the powerful want to eat green vegetables, but they can only eat more meat during the New Year.

Children are greedy for play, and some small toys should not be forgotten.

Lao Zhangtou walked around the West Market for a long time, so that when he went back, the car was still full, and the money for selling vegetables today was almost spent.

But he doesn't feel distressed, for the sake of his two grandchildren, what is this?

It's getting better and better, so let's just mess up.

Out of Chang'an City, Lao Zhangtou's speed slowed down, because the snow in many places has not been less, but fortunately, there are many pedestrians on the road, and there is no shortage of companions along the way.

But just when Lao Zhangtou was pulling a cart of things to rush home, his feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person fell to the ground.

It's just that although Lao Zhangtou was helped up, the whole person suddenly felt weak.

"Are you alright? Do you want to tell your family about that village and let them pick you up? ”

The pedestrians asked enthusiastically, but Lao Zhangtou felt more and more dizzy and couldn't help sneezing.

"No...... No...... The kids are busy ......"

Lao Zhangtou continued to walk, and everyone didn't care, but when Lao Zhangtou pulled his car and walked not far, he suddenly fell on the snow again, this time, he was weak, but he couldn't even stand up.

The cold wind was blowing, and the pedestrians sent Lao Zhangtou to the nearest medical center.

The medical hall is not very big, but the doctor's medical skills are well-known in the vicinity, and when the doctor saw Lao Zhangtou's condition, his brows suddenly condensed.

"No, ......probably not."

The doctor said to himself, and the apprentice next to him was a little curious when he heard it: "Master, what can't you?" ”

"Don't ask too much, that patient, don't get close, let the teacher take care of it."

He was a little worried, judging from Lao Zhangtou's condition, it was like smallpox recorded in medical books, this disease had appeared once more than a hundred years ago, but there was no cure, and in the end many people died, and the bodies of those people were burned for half a month before they were finally burned clean.

Smallpox was a disaster for them, a disaster that was even more helpless than a natural disaster, and there was little better way than to wait for death.

The doctor suspected that Lao Zhangtou had smallpox, but he hoped in his heart that this was not, not be, otherwise, the entire Tang Dynasty would suffer.

If smallpox was raging, more people would have died in a war, and in the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of China would have been very small, and if there were fewer smallpox, the population of China would have been even less.

The key is that a smallpox will make the Tang Dynasty, which has just been established not long ago, give birth to a lot of variables.

The doctor began to treat Lao Zhangtou, but no matter how he treated, he could not make Lao Zhangtou's condition better, and as time passed, Lao Zhangtou's body began to fester......
