Chapter 205: The Plague of Terror
Sure enough, one evening, after Wang Xiong and Xu Chu's third grandfather exchanged martial arts, he tentatively proposed that they were going to leave here.
Xu Chu's third grandfather must have disagreed, he said that the rivers and lakes are not helping the poor, the Wang family has reached such a point, as long as he still has a breath, the affairs of the Wang family are his business.
Wang Xiong was naturally moved after hearing this, they are all men who value righteousness. But this world at the end of the Han Dynasty is indeed not easy for anyone, their Wang family of fifty or sixty people have been eating and drinking in Xujiazhuang for almost a month, this time there are dozens of mouths, and after a long time, Xujiazhuang will also be unable to stand up.
Especially the patriarch of Xujiazhuang, who couldn't resist Xu Chu's third grandfather, went to find Wang Xiong secretly, not to say that he wouldn't help the Wang family, but if it goes on like this, Xujiazhuang will have to eat up the grain seeds for the next year, if it really goes on like this, when the grain seeds are also eaten, then Xujiazhuang will almost be the same as the people of the Wang family.
As soon as Wang Xiong discussed with his family, he was ready to take advantage of Xu Chu's third grandfather's inattention and left overnight.
Now that he was ready, Wang Xiong killed the last donkey that the Wang family used to pull the cart, but he lied to Xu Chu's third grandfather that the donkey was about to die, and took Xu Chu's third grandfather to Wang's house for a meal of meat, which can be regarded as a tactful way for Wang Xiong to thank Xu Chu's third grandfather.
But the problem lies in this donkey, who are originally short of food, and naturally cherish this rare fresh meat, so Wang Xiong did not let the Wang family come to eat that meal, but a few elders of the Wang family and Xu Chu's third grandfather had a meal.
This fresh donkey meat naturally tastes very good, so Wang Xiong saw that Xu Chu's third grandfather liked this taste very much, and after thinking about it, their Wang family really didn't have much to take out their hands to thank Xu Chu's third grandfather, so Wang Xiong took advantage of Xu Chu's third grandfather when he was still eating meat at Wang's house, and secretly sent the remaining donkey meat to Xu Chu's third grandfather's room, so that after they left, Xu Chu's third grandfather could eat more.
Xu Chu's third grandfather returned to Xujiazhuang after eating the donkey meat, and Wang Xiong left overnight with the people and horses.
But Xu Chu's third grandfather did not go back directly after returning to Xujiazhuang that day, but went to Xu Chu's grandfather's house, Xu Chu's grandfather went to Wang Xiong's Xujiazhuang clan elder, responsible for managing Xujiazhuang's grain, especially the grain seeds for the coming year, then Xu Chu's third grandfather went to his house, naturally to ask for food for the Wang family.
This Xu Chu's third grandfather ate the donkey meat of the Wang family, and thought that no matter what, he would have to hold on for the Wang family for more time, but Xu Chu's grandfather was thinking about the entire Xujiazhuang, and he couldn't let the people of Xujiazhuang go to a dead end because of the Wang family.
So Xu Chu's grandfather refused to give food, but Xu Chu's third grandfather was like the stubborn donkey he ate, and he was stubborn at Xu Chu's grandfather's house to get some food for the Wang family.
In the end, Xu Chu's grandfather really had no choice but to say that Wang Xiong and the others were gone, and what food would they give.
When Xu Chu's third grandfather heard this, he suddenly became anxious, thinking that he had just finished eating the donkey meat of the Wang family, could it be that Wang Xiong's farewell banquet could not be completed, so Xu Chu's third grandfather rushed out of Xu Chu's grandfather's house, and when he rushed outside Xu's village again, where was half of the Wang family.
Xu Chu's third grandfather was in a hurry, so he found a direction to find Wang Xiong and their Wang family.
This Xu Chu's third grandfather is also an extremely stubborn person, but it's a pity that Wang Xiong was prepared, and he also guarded against Xu Chu's third grandfather coming to catch him, so he made a few puzzles, so Xu Chu's third grandfather looked for half a month and didn't figure out that Wang Xiong was going in that direction.
When Xu Chu's third grandfather really had no choice, when he returned to Xujiazhuang, he found that the donkey meat that Wang Xiong sent to his house had begun to rot, and Xu Chu's third grandfather was crying and laughing while touching the donkey meat.
There was already a shortage of food at the end of the Han Dynasty, so even if the donkey meat was a little rotten, Xu Chu's third grandfather was still reluctant to lose it, so he turned on the fire and prepared to eat it after boiling it.
Xu Chu's grandfather saw that Xu Chu's third grandfather came back after going out for more than half a month, and also came to see him, and after entering the door, he saw where Xu Chu's third grandfather was cooking meat, although the donkey meat was a little rotten, but it was still fragrant when cooked.
Xu Chu's third grandfather naturally left Xu Chu's grandfather to eat meat, and after eating, he divided the remaining donkey meat into several portions, and each brother's family was ready to send a little.
When Xu Chu's third grandfather returned home after delivering the meat, he became ill that night, and Xu Chu's grandfather was also sick, and by the time they found out that it might be the donkey meat that caused the illness, it was too late.
A few other brothers of Xu Chusan's grandfather saw the meat, so they didn't hurry up and eat it.
It was this food that almost buried the entire Xujiazhuang, and the plague quickly spread in Xujiazhuang, and the first to die was Xu Chu's grandfather, who had not survived for three days and kept shouting cold in his mouth, and covered all the bedding at home, or just left.
As soon as Xu Chu's grandfather left, it was like setting a precedent, and in the next few days, Xu Jiazhuang was about to die all of a sudden, even those who didn't die were frightened, and they didn't know how to face it.
Xu Chu's third grandfather was the first to get sick, and after learning of Xu Chu's grandfather's death, he struggled to get up to give his eldest brother a funeral, and this one did not come back, and died directly on the side of Xu Chu's grandfather's earthen bag.
Soon, the plague did not spare the rest of Xu Jiazhuang, even Xu Chu's family did not escape, the first to die was his two younger brothers, the four tigers died half an hour later than the three tigers.
As more and more people died, the momentum of the plague became more and more fierce, Xu Chu's two younger brothers fell, and Xu Chu's parents died one after another that night before they could send their two sons away.
Seeing his close relatives pass away one after another, Xu Chu was almost stupid, or Xu Chu's eldest brother Xu Ding had an idea, he saw that the plague was too ferocious, so Xu Ding immediately decided to take Xu Chu to leave Xujiazhuang overnight.
After a fire ignited their home, Xu Ding and Xu Chu burst into tears, escorted them out of Qiaoguo County, and fled for their lives to the south.
When Xu Ding fled from Xujiazhuang with Xu Chu, Xujiazhuang was when the plague broke out, so in the end, how many people left Xujiazhuang alive, Xu Ding and Xu Chu were not clear at all.
Two days after Xu Ding and Xu Chu escaped from Xujiazhuang in the south, Xu Chu first had a fever, and he also felt chills all over his body, when he thought he was going to die, his brother did not escape the catastrophe, and he had exactly the same symptoms.
