Chapter 611: Han People Are Special?
Hearing that there was a medicine that had a better effect, in the afternoon of the same day, the leader of the guards asked the Mongolian people of the Haraqin tribe who followed them to drive all the Han people out of the camp, and wanted to get some purslane back while it was still dark.
Zhiwen and the three of them naturally had an excuse to get out of the camp and look for medicine with these Han people.
After leaving the camp tent, before leaving the camp, Zhiwen began to carefully examine the entire camp, which was different from when he first came in, because he knew that Azig was infected with the plague, and this time the angle of inspection was very different.
The whole camp was similar to when Zhiwen was in Jinzhou, with the Jin people gathering together with a small number of Han Chinese who served them, and the Mongols who were in charge of overseeing the work were together with the Han people who were working.
On the Jin side, in addition to the slightly stricter control of the import and exit, the inside is actually relatively lax, which can be regarded as loose inside and tight outside, and coughing can be heard from time to time in the entire camp, according to Zhiwen's judgment, most of them are early patients of pneumonic plague, but they have not died yet, these Jin soldiers are ignorant and do not take it to heart.
There are very few Han slaves and maids, except for the maid who can be sure that she has not been infected with the plague, and there are a few other sporadic people, because they cannot be observed at close range, Zhiwen cannot judge.
It seems that within five days, a large number of people will fall ill here because of the plague, and within ten days, it will be designated as ghosts, and it would be good to survive three or four adults, I don't know what the situation is in the Menghan camp.
Out of the camp, outside the wilderness, there were already people all over the mountains, most of them Han people looking for purslane, and a small number of Mongolian soldiers carrying scimitars were mixed in.
The three of Zhiwen carried a basket on their backs and held hoes, and they were also mixed in, and there were originally Jin soldiers accompanying them, but in this way, how could they find people?
Liu Cai persuaded him to send these Jin soldiers back, these people were not very willing to come out to work, so they gave in a little way, and it was enough, because Zhiwen was introduced by Dai Shan, and they did not doubt that they would escape, and before leaving, he entrusted the three of them to a Mongolian general, so that this person could take care of him.
The Mongolian generals knew that they were here to see Azig, so they didn't dare to slack off, and wanted to send someone to follow, but Liu Cai politely declined on the excuse that there were many people gathered together, but it was not easy to find medicine, and then the three of them walked into the wilderness and began a journey to visit their relatives.
Busy until dark, but only a few hours, naturally there are no surprises, but there is still good news.
That is, as Zhiwen expected, the hometown of the Han people here is half of northern Shaanxi, and there are local accents everywhere, which makes Zhiwen Nannan feel more cordial.
What surprised Zhiwen even more was that in addition to the yellow and thin faces of these Han people because of malnutrition, they did not have signs of epidemic disease in a large area like the Jin people, and occasionally some people were sick, and after Zhiwen looked at it carefully, he could confirm that it was either overwork, or it was caused by intolerance to hot and sunburn, and the symptoms of real pneumonic plague had not yet been seen in these Han people.
This made Zhiwen quite puzzling, and at first he thought that this was because the Han, Mongolian, and Jin people camped separately and had not been infected by Jiannu, but this idea was quickly overturned.
You must know that the Han and Mongolian are mixed, and the number of Mongolian soldiers who work as overseers is far less than that of the Han people, but Zhiwen has already seen several Mongolian people with red eyes and coughing, and the symptoms are exactly the same as those soldiers in the Jin camp, and they are obviously early patients of the plague.
This is not scientific, Zhiwen was puzzled at first, can the plague germ still distinguish between different ethnic groups, and specifically find the Jin people and the Mongolian people, and let the Han people go?
Some ethnic groups against some special diseases do seem to be better than other ethnic groups in statistics, but the probability of the Han people being infected with the plague is not lower than that of other ethnic groups, otherwise there would not have been so many deaths due to the plague in the late Ming Dynasty in history, resulting in Li Zicheng besieging the Beijing Division, and not many soldiers defending the city could go to the head of the city to defend against the enemy.
Also, when I fled to the Yellow River the year before last, a large number of Han people died of the plague.
Refugees... Plague...
Zhiwen slapped his thigh, how could he forget this stubble, these people all fled from northern Shaanxi, they all experienced the rampant plague outbreak, they are all people who escaped from the tiger's mouth of the plague, either the body is particularly strong, or the congenital constitution is special, people who are not sensitive to the plague, or they inadvertently have antibodies, no matter what the situation, they can make them not infected in this epidemic.
Now it's okay, thinking about this, Zhiwen's mood suddenly relaxed, most of these people who followed him escaped together, and they have experienced the baptism of the plague, and they must also have antibodies, so don't worry too much.
For the few who did not escape, let them drink more pond water and pay attention to protection.
"Brother, are you about to find grandpa and them, so you're so happy?" After eating in the evening, when he boiled medicine for Azig, Nan Nan saw Zhiwen frowning, obviously in a good mood, thinking that he, like herself, was also excited because of the great increase in the hope of finding his relatives.
"That's right." Zhiwen naturally didn't tell her the truth in disappointment, but gave a proposal, "However, maybe we will change the method and the effect will be better." ”
"Could it be that you will be able to paint a portrait of Xiaozhi?" Liu Cai asked, they were looking for people before, they all recognized the past one by one, described their appearance from time to time, and asked each other if they had seen it, this kind of efficiency can be imagined to be very low, and there will always be errors in the appearance of the mouth, people who are not particularly familiar with each other, it is difficult to remember people according to the description.
"How can I paint a portrait?" Zhiwen shook his head, unless it is a completely realistic sketch, it is unlikely to be recognized by the freehand portrait of Chinese painting.
"That's what I think." Zhiwen didn't sell Guanzi, and told the two of them his thoughts at the moment.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, when you ask someone, add your place of origin and surname, for example, Zhiwen Niang's maiden surname Ding, in Dingjia Village, Anding, northern Shaanxi, then ask people if they know the people of Anding Ding.
I didn't use this trick in Daling River before, firstly, because the time was not urgent, Zhiwen didn't expect it, and secondly, the effect of using this trick there was not much better.
As mentioned earlier, the Han people in Dalinghe are mainly from Gyeonggi and Liaodong, and in this era, it is not easy for many people to go to the county seat once in their lives, and there are very few people who can know the names of other state capitals.
Azig is different here, the Han people are mainly from northern Shaanxi, even if they have not been out of the county, but the names of nearby counties have always been heard, Zhiwen They asked like this, maybe it can also shorten the distance between the two sides.
