Chapter 25: Fear and Awe
The old shaman stopped in horror.
Although he felt very sorry for her, he had to stop for the sake of his people.
The masked girl, the daughter of an old shaman, married into the tribe.
Song Nian looked at her veil and felt a slight pity.
On the girl's neck, protrusions are faintly visible.
This is typical of bubonic plague.
Unfortunately......
But luckily, at least...... Bubonic plague is not as dangerous as pneumonic plague, and at least, bubonic plague does not have as high a mortality rate as pneumonic plague.
Leaving a month's worth of food for the girl, Song Nian calmly told her:
On the next full moon night, the masked girl only needs to burn all the corpses in the tent, and the demon messenger will let her and the people she rescued live.
The reason why the night of the full moon is set...... It is because the incubation period of the Black Death (plague) should not exceed half a month.
And the girl is still ...... That means...... She is supposed to be one of the rare individuals to be immune.
So, she and the other survivors are entitled to live.
The Hu girl bowed to Song Nian devoutly.
Song Nian accepted it calmly.
Then, Song Nian mixed the poison into the baba (the staple food of the Hu people) and scattered it around the camp, and then told all the Hu people to sprinkle these "evil spirit" drugs near their camp.
In fact, the point of doing so lies entirely in ...... Rodent extermination.
Plague Plague is naturally transmitted by rats. Just one more communicator...... That's the fleas on rats.
But as long as you do a good job of exterminating rodents, then fleas will naturally have no hair attached to their skin.
Looking at the black glass bottle in Song Nian's hand, the Hu people became more and more in awe.
This time, Song Nian did not ride a horse, but asked Su Qi'er and Chu He to accompany her into the carriage.
In the carriage, Chu He stared at the black glass bottle in Song Nian's hand a little nervously: "Just now you told the Hu people shaman, this thing ...... Will they all die? ”
Song Nian nodded: "That's right." ”
Su Qi'er was also taken aback: "Then Master...... Let's bury it. ”
Song Nian played with this black glass bottle, which could actually be called a jar, and threw it to Chu He.
Chu He's hand trembled, but he still caught it steadily, but a few drops of sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine with it." Song Nian said lightly.
"This glass jar ......" Chu He frowned and looked at the black glass jar in his hand, the mouth of the jar was open......
"Well, this jar was given to me by the Hu Ren girl. They dug it out of the ground, and within a few days, the whole tribe soon fell one after another. Song Nian said coldly.
"The whole jar ......" Chu He suddenly felt that the jar in his hand suddenly became extremely cold.
"Master...... Could it be that their illness ...... Wasn't it infected from Longyou City? Su Qi'er scratched her head.
Song Nian smiled and touched his smooth head: "No...... The dead on the side of Longyou City, their skin was blackened and formed into black lumps, this is the pneumonic plague, which is transmitted from person to person. Bubonic plague, on the other hand, if the skin is not broken, or if it is not spread by flea bites, then as long as you pay attention to protection, it will not spread everywhere. ”
Su Qi'er nodded as if she didn't understand: "Then they can't blame us for getting sick." ”
Song Nian smiled and said lightly, "No...... They still feel in their hearts that we have brought about a terrible disaster. ”
"Ah...... Master, what should I do? ”
Song Nian smiled: "So there's no way...... Only...... Let them thank me, thank me for not rushing to kill everything, and for giving them a chance to live. ”
"This ......" Su Qi'er scratched her head, indicating that she really didn't understand Master's train of thought.
Chu He on the side was holding the jar and thoughtful: "So, you used the whole empty jar to scare them?" ”
Song Nian nodded: "The whole jar ...... It is very likely that the people of the Far West used ......"
She took out the Dead Sea document and flipped out a page for Chu He and Su Qi'er to read: "You see, the people of the Far West like to use this kind of glass jar to preserve all kinds of things...... I suspect that they are in the jar, sealing something that should not be sealed...... Then, after a few hundred years, the Hu people accidentally dug up the jar and opened it...... And then ......"
"These things...... Haven't died for hundreds of years? Su Qi'er was very surprised.
Song Nian smiled bitterly: "Why don't you die for hundreds of years...... There are even some things that can't be burned even if they are burned...... You can only bury ...... deep underground"
"Master, you are so powerful, you know everything." Su Qi'er said with admiration.
Chu He stared at Song Nian intently.
Song Nian immediately realized that he was exposed.
How could a daughter who is an ordinary servant in a border area know so many things?
"This ...... In fact, it is all recorded in this Hu people's medical book and the "Dead Sea Documents...... Live to learn, live to learn, live to learn, ......" Song Nian was babbling nonsense, and at the same time took out two medical books to testify to himself, anyway, he couldn't understand these two goods.
Although I knew that the two of them actually took a copy and read it.
"Wow, Master, there really is a ......" Su Qi'er took over Hu Ren's medical skills and turned a few pages, and showed it to Song Nian excitedly.
"Well, there are actually ...... here" Chu He carefully flipped through a few pages, although the content was accidentally understood, but the second half of the content written in Dayong script could be understood a little.
Song Nianhui Khan took back the two medical books: "Okay, you two don't mess with these two books." ”
Damn, I made up a reason casually, and I almost got into a goof.
"Master, can we go back to sleep now?" Su Qi'er is a child after all, and she feels bored after sitting in the car for a while.
"Impossible......" Song Nian looked out the window......
There's such a thing as a mission, and you can't stop as soon as you start it......
——
Ring 3 Mission 2 [Red Death]
Reward: Black Glass Bottle
——
Glancing at the task interface, Song Nian sighed silently.
Now it seems that her thinking is the same as the tasks given by the task system.
Chu He's brows on the side furrowed slightly.
Song Nian smiled: "What, is it a stomach upset?" You're a big man, don't be embarrassed to say it. I told the Hu people to stop and wait for you. ”
Song Nian was originally joking, but he didn't expect that Chu He really nodded with a straight face, jumped out of the carriage, and after a while, returned.
The complexion is indeed much better.
Song Nian advised: "If it's diarrhea, remember to tell me." Outside the Central Plains, even if it is diarrhea, it may be a big deal. ”
Su Qi'er asked curiously, "Master, why is it a big deal to have diarrhea?" We used to be in Kuhara Mansion...... I often have stomach troubles. ”
Song Nian said with a straight face: "The car is so big, he pulls the stinky and gentle, do you think it's a big deal?" ”
Su Qi'er was amused by Song Nian and giggled.
Chu He said lightly: "It's not a stomach problem...... In addition, I led the troops to fight, so I naturally knew that if I suddenly had diarrhea during the march, it would ...... It's easy to die. ”
