Not only Li Shimin was surprised, but even Sun Simiao was also surprised, once smallpox spread in the village in history, it was a miracle that a village of hundreds of people could survive ten people, but Wang Xiang said that three out of ten died.

The fatality rate of smallpox is indeed about 30 percent, but because of the fear and mishandling of smallpox by the ancients, many people who could have survived did not survive in the end.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Many smallpox patients did not die of smallpox. ”

"Not from smallpox?"

"More smallpox patients are dying not of smallpox, but from the fear of their hearts and the warmth of human affection." Wang Xiang thought of Xiao Loli being isolated alone in Xishui Village, which was full of smallpox patients, and said in a low tone: "Once smallpox is infected, I think that I will definitely die, and I am isolated and no one wants to approach, and my heart is afraid and helpless, these emotions are enough to destroy their confidence and hope to live." ”

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Li Shimin may have thought of Li Chengqian and Li Zhi, and his mood also became depressed.

Since ancient times, when smallpox has been encountered, all the sick people have been isolated in a small closed village and left to fend for themselves, and when all the people inside have died, the village will be set on fire to prevent smallpox from spreading.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Chengqian and Li Zhi were among the people suffering from smallpox this time, I'm afraid Xishui Village would have ended up like this.

"Is smallpox really incurable?" Sun Simiao originally planned to bring some herbs to Xishui Village to help those patients, but when he heard Wang Xiang say that smallpox could not be cured, he was a little reluctant to believe it.

Although Wang Xiang was also very sad, he could only shake his head regretfully.

Sun Simiao frowned and said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing, since there is smallpox, there must be smallpox, as long as we try more, we can always find a solution." When the cowpox you said came, I still have to go to Xishui Village to give it a try. ”

This old man, who has been running around all his life to cure diseases and save people, has an almost stubborn dedication to curing diseases and saving people. Li Shimin promised many times that high-ranking officials could not keep him.

Wang Xiang looked at Sun Simiao, who had a firm gaze, and suddenly felt very ashamed. I gave up hope without even trying, and I was not as good as an ancient old man.

I have always relied on the knowledge of later generations and always felt that there was nothing worth serious learning in this era, but I didn't know that every truth in the world was perfected after countless practices, and the knowledge learned by later generations was explored step by step by the predecessors, and I was just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became proud. said with a smile: "What Sun Daochang said is right, everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, as long as we don't give up, we can always find a way." ”

As soon as his thoughts were clear, his thinking became active, and Wang Xiang thought of a home remedies he had seen in the TV series before.

……

In a small mountain col five miles northwest of Chang'an City, Xishui Village was originally a peaceful and peaceful small village, but at this time, the sound of crying and cursing was mixed.

Outside the village was a masked sergeant with a bow and arrow, surrounding the entire village, and a young sergeant with a bow glanced at the tall man with a blue face next to him and choked up: "Captain......"

In front of them, several people helped each other out of the village.

Jiang Yihu's body trembled slightly, and his fists were clenched. Who the fuck wants to be the captain of this!

"The person in front of you stops, otherwise you will be killed!"

The voice was hoarse.

The people on the opposite side heard Jiang Yi's roar and immediately cried and scolded. Not far in front of them lay several corpses, all of them ordinary people trying to run out of the village, and in vain persuasion, they were finally shot by the sergeants.

Jiang Yi's face did not change in the face of thousands of troops on the battlefield, but now, his heart was dripping blood, and there were poor innocent people in front of him.

"Don't go any further!"

The young sergeant next to him could clearly feel the anxiety in Jiang Yi's heart and shouted: "Go back, Your Majesty will send someone to rescue you soon, and everything you eat will be sent in!" ”

The anger of the people is even louder, what is the use of just eating! Everyone knows what smallpox is, and to be trapped here is to wait for death, and eventually turn to ashes with the village!

When two civilians reached the entrance of the village, they suddenly burst out and ran towards the nearby woods, and the young sergeant who shouted may not have reacted, or perhaps for some other reason did not shoot the arrow in his hand.

Sou! Sou!

The expression of surprise on his face froze forever before it could fully unfold, and two sharp arrows suddenly shot out of the woods, nailing them to the necks of the two people who ran out of bounds with great accuracy, and the body that had lost its strength ran forward two steps before falling to the ground.

Jiang Yi couldn't bear to close his eyes, there were already dozens of people who had died under the sergeant's arrows in the past few days.

"Think about the ...... of more people out there"

The young sergeant bit his lip and nodded, he understood what the captain meant, no one wanted to shoot these poor people, but if these people with smallpox were allowed to escape, more people would be in danger.

When the rest of the people saw the two being shot, some of them cried, some of them cursed angrily, and some of them knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the front......

At dusk, several wooden carts loaded with food pushed into Xishui Village, and the people immediately swarmed up, and the sergeants in the carts were wrapped in thick linen cloth all over their bodies, and their long knives were unsheathed.

While the sergeants were distributing food to the people, two sergeants quietly left the crowd with a few delicate food boxes and headed towards the northwest corner of the village.

In a dilapidated thatched hut in the northwest corner of Xishui Village, Li Chengqian sat in the corner of the room, looking at the roof with dull eyes, without the slightest vigor at the original birthday banquet, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

Little Lori and Li Zhi huddled beside Li Chengqian with their knees in their arms, and Little Lori's eyes were already red from crying, and she was still snorting at this time.

Li Zhiqiang endured the panic and uneasiness in his heart, stretched out his slightly trembling hand and patted Xiao Lori's shoulder and comforted: "Sister Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, my father will definitely send someone to save us." ”

Little Lori looked up at Li Zhi and sobbed: "Isn't my current appearance ugly, I don't want to be so ugly when I die." ”

If you look closely, you will find that there is a small dense rash on Lori's left cheek near her chin, and Li Zhi also has the same rash on her arm.

Hearing Xiao Lori's words, Li Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not ugly, Sister Xiaowu is not ugly at all, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." When he said this, Li Zhi's face flushed.

If it was in the past, Little Lori would definitely make fun of Li Zhi triumphantly, but now she just asked pitifully: "Will Your Majesty really send someone to save us?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Li Zhi shook his little fist to cheer up little Lori, and also to cheer himself up.

"Hmph." Li Chengqian, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly sneered: "Save us, do you know what smallpox is?" Even if my father wants to save us, how can we save it? He wouldn't have sent us here if he had a way. ”

"Daochang Sun will definitely have a way."

"Daochang Sun......" Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In ancient times, Hua Tuo and Bian Que had no way to take smallpox, what could Sun Daochang do." ”

Li Zhi's expression darkened when he heard this, it was not that he hadn't thought about this, but he didn't want to give up, he didn't want to see the desperate appearance of little Lori, but now he himself was almost desperate, and it had been several days since he came, and no one else had come except for the sergeant who had brought the food.

"Daochang Sun, there is no way, my brother-in-law must have a way!" Little Lori suddenly spoke stubbornly.

Is the prince new? Li Chengqian's eyes lit up for a moment and then dimmed, since he met Wang Xiang, he has always been able to do many amazing things.

"Perhaps, but now he is still in the Western Regions......"

There was a sudden silence in the hut.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the little one has brought you food."

The sergeant's voice sounded outside, and Li Chengqian waved his hand listlessly: "Come in." ”

When the two sergeants heard this, they walked into the hut with food boxes.

Seeing the two sergeants wrapped in sackcloth, Li Chengqian felt irritated, and Li Zhi and Xiao Lori's faces were not good-looking.

The sergeant carefully arranged the food box, which was full of delicacies made by Dengxian Tower, but the three of them had no appetite, and they sat in place one by one in a state of despair.

Seeing that the food box sent yesterday only moved a little bit, the sergeant secretly sighed and said: "Your Majesty asked the little one to bring a message, the two highnesses and the little martial girl should eat well and recuperate their spirits, the prince has come back from Gaochang, and in a few days he will come over with Sun Daochang to see the two highnesses and the little martial girl." ”

The sergeant's words were more effective than any delicacy, and the three of them were shocked when they heard it, and they all spoke at the same time: "The prince is back!" (To be continued......)
