Chapter 819: Yellow Turban Army?
There are many diseases that cause symptoms such as fatigue, but if a rash occurs on the forehead and cheeks at the same time, it is assumed that smallpox is present.
After all, smallpox got its name this way because the rash appeared on the patient's face in large numbers, so the rash would turn into pockmarks after the patient was cured.
Of course, this is also the first time Liu Xing has seen a smallpox patient, because with the development of the times, smallpox has been basically eliminated decades ago, and it is also the first infectious disease to be eliminated by mankind, so Liu Xing only heard of smallpox after studying medicine, but did not see it.
Although Liu Xing did not know much about smallpox, he also knew that smallpox, as one of the most terrible infectious diseases in human history, had a severe fatality rate of about 25 percent.
That is to say, if the elder of the royal family really got smallpox this time, then the entire Taoyuan Village may cease to exist, because Taoyuan Village is originally a relatively closed environment, and the transmission mode of smallpox virus is mainly droplet transmission and direct contact transmission, and the infection efficiency of these two transmission methods in a closed environment is very high.
Therefore, Liu Xing knew that he had smallpox nine times out of ten.
Because people who have not been vaccinated against smallpox have a very high chance of contracting the smallpox virus.
As for where the smallpox of the royal family came from, Liu Xing can be sure that Zhang Jingxu brought it, because during this time, only Zhang Jingxu and other outsiders came to Taoyuan Village, so it is only possible that Zhang Jingxu can bring the smallpox virus to Taoyuan Village.
After all, Taoyuan Village has not had an outbreak of smallpox for so many years.
By the way, the reason why the colonists of Spain and other countries were able to gain a foothold in the New World in a short period of time was because those colonists brought the smallpox virus from the Old World to the New World, which caused the Aztec and Inca civilizations, which were still relatively powerful in the New World, to suffer a huge blow, and millions of people died because of the smallpox virus.
Back to the topic, Liu Xing can now be sure that if the mythical creatures behind the old royal family do not take action, the entire Taoyuan Village will definitely suffer a devastating blow because of smallpox, because in modern times, there is no exact and effective treatment for smallpox, and it can only be prevented by vaccines.
Therefore, in Taoyuan Village, where smallpox is about to erupt, everyone's life and death can only be determined by their own destiny.
However, this is also Zhang Jingxu's best chance to escape.
Liu Xing returned to his seat and motioned Zhang Jingxu and the others to pay attention to the rash on the old face of the royal family with his eyes, but it may be that Zhang Jingxu and the others did not have a deep understanding of smallpox, so they did not care about Liu Xing's hints.
It seems that only after the smallpox in Taoyuan Village has completely broken out, Zhang Jingxu and others can realize the seriousness of all this.
Because the elder of the royal family was unwell, today's banquet ended early, so Liu Xing went home.
On the way home, I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he also had some weakness in his limbs, a hot head, and some discomfort on his face.
After returning home, Liu Xing did not forget to take a look at Liu's mother's situation and found that Liu's mother is quite normal now.
Liu Xing carefully calculated the time, if Zhang Jingxu and the others brought in the smallpox virus when they first entered Taoyuan Village, then the smallpox virus with an incubation period of about 12 days would indeed attack in these two days.
Time is running out.
Although Liu Xing had already guessed that the smallpox virus was about to break out in Taoyuan Village, because "Liu Xing" at this time did not know about the existence of smallpox, Liu Xing had no way to tell others all this.
Therefore, at this time, only Zhang Jingxu, the "outsiders" who brought the smallpox virus, can realize the seriousness of the problem, because the smallpox virus can survive outside the human body for a few months to more than a year, which means that Zhang Jingxu and others have seen smallpox patients during this time, so Zhang Jingxu and others should be able to see that the royal family has smallpox.
But then again, if Zhang Jingxu also had smallpox, then the problem would be a bit big, because the smallpox virus will break out quickly after the incubation period, and there will be all kinds of serious complications, and people will be killed within two or three days.
This means that once the virus on Zhang Jingxu's body enters the outbreak period, then the seriously ill Zhang Jingxu is likely to lose his ability to move, and there is a chance that he will be thrown by "Ding Kun" and "Zhang Wenbing" in Taoyuan Village to die, and "Yin En" has no reason to help Zhang Jingxu leave, because people in this era regard smallpox as a flood beast.
As for Liu Xing himself, there is no reason to help a "Zhang Jingxu" whom he has only met a few times and is already in danger.
I hope Zhang Jingxu can realize the problem in advance.
Liu Xing sighed and went back to the room to pretend to sleep.
After Liu's mother fell asleep, Liu Xing left the house, and this time Liu Xing did not hide next to his house again, but hid directly in a field not far from the pond.
After an unknown amount of time, the people with long bamboo poles reappeared near the pond, and Liu Xing also noticed that these people were wrapped in yellow cloth with their heads.
Yellow Turbans?!
Liu Xing frowned, and the figure of the Lord in Yellow appeared in his mind.
In the context of the Cthulhu Mythos, many players believe that Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is actually the incarnation of the King of the Yellow Clothes.
As for the emblematic feature of the Yellow Turbans, it is the yellow cloth they wear on their heads.
But wasn't Taoyuan Village already established in the Qin Dynasty?
Could it be that these people only entered Taoyuan Village at the end of the Han Dynasty?
Liu Xing recalled it carefully and found that according to the clan elders, the last batch of immigrants from Taoyuan Village should have entered during the transition period of the Qin and Han dynasties.
What the hell is going on?
Could it be that the clan elders are lying?
Zhang Jiao's incident was in 184 A.D., and "Jin Taiyuan" was from 376 to 396 A.D., so a middle point of "Jin Taiyuan" is 386 A.D., and the difference between the two is two hundred and two years.
Because the average life expectancy of the ancients was very low, even in Taoyuan Village, which escaped the war, the average life expectancy was about thirty years old, so two hundred and two years is enough for the villagers of Taoyuan Village to be renewed six or seven times, plus everything in Taoyuan Village is in the hands of the clan elders, so even if Taoyuan Village was really established by the survivors of the Yellow Turban Army, as long as the clan elders insist on their own statements, then the current Taoyuan Village villagers will believe that they are actually descendants of the Qin Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Xing also understands that the clan elders will do this, after all, the Yellow Turban Army is also a rebel army no matter how it is said, if the Han Dynasty still exists and discovers Taoyuan Village, then Taoyuan Village is likely to suffer a catastrophe.
But back to the topic, if the first generation of villagers in Taoyuan Village is really the Yellow Turban Army, then Liu Xing feels that he seems to know why Taoyuan Village was established in a dreamland.
Obviously, it was the king of yellow clothes who let the Yellow Turban Army establish Taoyuan Village in the fantasy dreamland.
Therefore, Liu Xing feels that he is very close to the king in yellow, how can every character card be related to the king in yellow...
At this moment, a man carrying a large cloth bag walked to the side of the pond, and then threw the large cloth bag into the pond without hesitation.
Liu Xing, who was hiding not far away, could hear a cry for help coming from the big cloth pocket.
Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought.
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly heard a "squeak" sound coming from the pond, and it sounded as if something had opened at the bottom of the pond.
No wonder my group didn't notice anything unusual about the pond during the day, it turned out that there was a mechanism in the pond.
It's a pity that Liu Xing doesn't dare to look at will now, because Liu Xing knows that if he is discovered by those "Yellow Turban Army", then he may have to go to the pond for a while.
So Liu Xing honestly hid in the field, and he didn't even dare to come out.
Fortunately, these "Yellow Turban Army" did not work for long, and soon dispersed.
After Liu Xing was sure that the "Yellow Turban Army" had gone away, he quietly came to the side of the pond, and the pond had been restored to its original state at this time.
Liu Xing tried to find a mechanism near the pond, but KP Al didn't even give Liu Xing a chance to judge, so it can be seen that this mechanism is not something that Liu Xing can find, or the key to opening this mechanism is in the hands of others.
Liu Xing is more inclined to the latter.
After Liu Xing returned home, he couldn't sleep for a long time, because Liu Xing had been confused in his mind by the plot of this mod.
Judging from the current situation, although Taoyuan Village was nominally established by immigrants from the Qin Dynasty, it should actually be built by a group of descendants of the Yellow Turban Army, but this is actually not important, because this just makes Taoyuan Village's backer directly promoted from a mythical creature race to the king of yellow clothes.
Next is the plot development of this module, if nothing else, it should be the royal family who first ordered "Yin En" to find some suitable people in the outside world to enter Taoyuan Village, and as a result, "Yin En" found "Zhang Jingxu", and at the same time, "Ding Kun" and "Zhang Wenbing" pretended to follow "Zhang Jingxu" into Taoyuan Village in order to take revenge.
As a result, when the royal family was calculating "Zhang Jingxu", he did not expect that "Zhang Jingxu" and others brought in the smallpox virus that was not available in Taoyuan Village, and as a result, the villagers of the entire Taoyuan Village were infected by the smallpox virus, and it will completely break out in the next two days, and it is very likely that the entire Taoyuan Village will not survive at that time.
But there is a question here, that is, will the king of yellow take action to solve the smallpox virus?
Liu Xing recalled his experience of communicating with the King of the Yellow Coat, and found that the King of the Yellow only favored his subordinates (Watanabe Meteor), and did not care about those inconsequential subordinates (Rendell of the Baiaki clan).
Obviously, these villagers of Taoyuan Village should be a group of inconsequential subordinates to the King of Yellow, and even the King of Yellow should have forgotten about them.
After all, a group of ordinary humans who can only farm can no longer be of any use to the King of Yellow.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing found KP Al and applied for a sleep package, because Liu Xing already knew what he had to do.
The next morning, Liu Xing got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he came to the intersection and began to observe the situation of the villagers.
As a result, I don't know if I don't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it.
Liu Xing found that nearly 80 percent of the villagers in Taoyuan Village had symptoms similar to those of the old Wang family, and even some villagers had a lot of very obvious rashes on their faces, and they looked very tired.
It seems that tomorrow at the latest, there will be an unprecedented smallpox outbreak in Taoyuan Village.
But for Liu Xing, this day is enough.
There is only one thing Liu Xing has to do now, and that is to make Zhang Jingxu realize that Taoyuan Village is not a paradise before the smallpox epidemic in Taoyuan Village begins.
After waiting for more than two hours, Liu Xing finally saw the figures of Zhang Jingxu and the others - it still seemed that Zhang Jingxu and Yin En were walking in front, while Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing were following behind, blocking the dagger in their hands with their long sleeves.
After Liu Xing met with Zhang Jingxu and the others, he said, "Can you go to the side with me to talk first?" ”
Ding Kun frowned, and said with some suspicion: "Did you kid go to complain to the clan elders and want to lead us to the trap?" ”
Liu Xing hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "No, no, no, I definitely didn't report to the clan elders that the two eldest brothers kidnapped Zhang Jingxu, but I went to monitor the pond yesterday, and there were two very important discoveries." ”
Although "Ding Kun" and "Zhang Wenbing" are the enemies of "Zhang Jingxu", Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing's goal in this module is also to let Zhang Jingxu pass the module, so of course Liu Xing will not be embarrassed at this time.
So, Liu Xing took Zhang Jingxu and the others to a secluded corner and told everything he saw last night.
"What, yellow cloth wrapping your head? Are these people the Yellow Turbans? Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.
Ding Kun shook his head and said: "How can this be the Yellow Turban Army, it was all more than two hundred years ago, not to mention that our Wuling side is not the main activity location of the Yellow Turban Army." ”
Although the Yellow Turban Army swept the entire Han Dynasty, the main strength of the Yellow Turban Army was still concentrated in the Yellow River Valley.
At this moment, Yin En suddenly spoke: "Brothers, I don't know if you have found a problem, that is, the villagers of Taoyuan Village seem to be sick. ”
When Liu Xing saw Yin En mention this matter, he immediately echoed: "That's right, when I was waiting for you just now, I found that many people were like the elders of the royal family, and their faces were densely covered with acne. ”
Zhang Jingxu was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said in surprise: "It's smallpox!" ”
