Chapter XXIV: The Plague
As soon as Fu Xiaoxin heard that Lin Wuwu wanted to discuss and study with him, he turned around and left.
Lin Wuwu smiled at the old god, after so many years of classmates, she knew that Fu Xiaoxin was the reaction, of course, if it was placed in the past, it is estimated that Zhao Yi would be almost the same.
"I forgot that this kid's eyesight is so good... But fortunately, it was fooled. Zhao Yi sighed secretly.
"Alright, I'm back." Lin Wuwu packed up his things, greeted Zhao Yi and went home.
As soon as I got home, I heard my father and mother chatting.
"Lao Lin, have you heard, there is a strange disease in the east of the city, don't go there, it is said that it will be contagious. I also listened to what Aunt Yin said when I was shopping for vegetables today, and I don't know if it's true or fake, so pay more attention to it. ”
"Do you believe the words of the long-tongued woman?"
"More is better than less, let's not do anything. When the time comes, it will drag down the family. Others have said that if you have this disease, you will have weakness in your limbs at first, dry mouth, and gradually lose consciousness. ”
"Oh." Lin Zhaoqing responded perfunctorily, and continued to do the work in his hands, he recently found a new job, he was a helper at Carpenter Chen, but he earned more than cutting wood in the past, and helping Carpenter Chen to work, sometimes it was always indispensable to go to the east of the city, but he didn't care much about his wife's words, in Jinzhou City for so many years, there was not necessarily any strange disease, he felt that it was just those long-tongued women who spread falsehoods.
"Yo, our daughter is back. I heard your husband say that the results of the annual examination will be released today, how did you do in the exam? Wang Peizhen looked at her daughter expectantly.
"Mother, I won the top spot."
"Ahh Wang Pei was really shocked to get rid of the embroidery in her hand, she hurriedly picked it up again, she knew that her daughter had good grades, but she didn't think that she could win the top spot, and said excitedly: "Our daughter is promising!" ”
Lin Zhaoqing also put on a smile, wiped the sweat on his face, and worked harder to do carpentry, he wanted to make more money and buy some gifts for his daughter. After all, a thousand words can't express the joy in your heart.
"I'll go out and buy another fish and pork! Let's have a good meal tonight! Wang Peizhen put down the needle and thread in his hand, took some scraps of money and rushed out of the door.
"Don't worry, you really give your dad a long face, let's say, whatever gift you want, dad will buy it for you."
"No, Dad. It's not easy for you to make money, so don't waste your money on this kind of thing. ”
"How can it be called a waste of spending money on your own daughter?"
Lin Wuwu smiled faintly and stopped talking. Lin Zhaoqing saw that his daughter had no intention of asking for a gift, so he secretly thought about what to give, Wuwu grew up so big, and he didn't say anything to Wuwu.
"Don't worry, you wait, I'll go out." Lin Zhaoqing thought for a long time, hesitated for a while and seemed to think of something and went out, Lin Wuwu had no choice but to wait at home.
It didn't take long for Wang Peizhen to go home with large bags of vegetables and meat.
"Mother, what are you doing with so many things? I can't finish it. ”
"It's winter now, these dishes can be left for a while, and the prices of the dishes in the market are getting more and more expensive for some reason, and I'm afraid that they will rise even higher in the future, so I'll buy more today."
"Why is there a sudden increase in the price of vegetables and meat? There's something wrong with that. Lin Wuwu thought about it.
"Speaking of which, you may not know, I have already told your father not to go to the east of the city during this time, there is a strange disease there, it is contagious. But I don't think your dad believes it. ”
"Weird? Pestilence? Lin Wuwu immediately thought of the plague, but why did this happen suddenly.
"Mother, you can talk about it specifically."
"Okay. When I went to the market to buy vegetables today, Aunt Yin, who sold vegetables, said that a group of refugees from the north came to the east of the city, and it is said that they fled from the war in the north, and the city guards were kind enough to take them in, but I didn't expect these refugees to have strange diseases, and they also infected many people when they came here, so the population flow in the east of the city has also dropped sharply in recent days. Those who are infected can be seen to hate cold and heat, but the heat is not cold, headache and body pain, moss white like powder, tongue red, pulse count, etc. ”
"Mother, this may be a plague, don't go to the east of the city." When Lin Wuwu heard this, he remembered that the medical books he had read mentioned similar symptoms.
"I know, I also reminded your father, but I don't know if he remembers it in his heart."
"Well, you'll have to remind him when he gets back."
Said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Lin Zhaoqing came back with a bag of things, "Don't worry, my father picked out the new face of Xueyun Pavilion for you, and listened to the maid of Xueyun Pavilion say that wiping this thing on your face can moisturize your skin and keep it transparent." I don't know any of this, but I saw that the women loved to buy this, so I bought one for you and your mother. ”
Lin Wuwu took the gift that Lin Zhaoqing chose for himself, and felt happy in his heart, but according to his own temperament, he usually didn't bother to use it at all, but for the sake of his father's heart, if he could think of it, he would use it once.
"Thank you, Dad."
"Lao Lin, you have a heart. But just buy it for the child, and bring me something. Having said that, Wang Peizhen's face was full of happiness.
"Where, when buying things for children, of course, you have to think about you." Lin Wuwu ate a wave of dog food invisibly.
Wang Peizhen showed a shyness that he hadn't seen for a long time in all these years.
"Dad, you have to go to the east of the city less these days, according to my mother, I guess there may be a plague, I also feel that the weather has changed extremely strangely these days, and something big has happened."
Lin Zhaoqing nodded, "Your mother told me, I won't go for a few days, by the way, I will ask if this is true." ”
"Okay, I'll cook for you, I'll make it a little more sumptuous tonight, let's celebrate worry-free, Lao Lin, I'll also go and give you a few taels of bamboo leaves, you can take it out and drink it in a while, and put it on the cabinet."
As soon as Lin Zhaoqing heard that there was wine, he responded happily, feeling that his daughter-in-law was good, thinking about himself everywhere, and he didn't forget to bring a pot of wine back for himself when he went out to buy vegetables.
After Wang Peizhen cooked the meal, the family ate dinner happily, and Lin Wuwu returned to his room to start cultivating, no matter what, he couldn't leave behind in his cultivation.
Lin Wuwu started very early on the second day, and he always felt panicked.
As soon as the rooster outside the house crowed, a noisy human voice was heard outside the yard, and Lin Wuwu went out to check what the situation was after cleaning up.
"Hey, the fourth is in the middle." Jiang Laosan and Er, who were on the opposite street, carried their younger brother out of the door, and other people watched.
"What! It didn't take long for the strange disease in the east of the city to spread to the west of the city! ”
"Yes, I heard the doctor in the city say that this is a plague, and God has punished us for doing something wrong! I don't know what we've done! ”
"Plague?! Then I'm afraid that our Jinzhou City will be wiped out! The plague hasn't appeared for many years, and if it does, it will kill and injure countless people! ”
Lin Wuwu frowned, very worried in his heart, he didn't expect this to be a plague, and this plague spread so quickly.
Lin Wuwu looked at those people who had no cover, and there was physical contact with the infected person, and he felt that it was no wonder that the plague was spreading so quickly, did the people in Jinzhou City not have this kind of common sense?
Putting aside where the source of the plague is, this cannot be in direct contact with infectious patients, Lin Wuwu thought that everyone knew about it.
Lin Wuwu went home, took a strip of cloth to cover his mouth and nose, and brought the Zhao family token, intending to go to Zhao Yi to remind him of this matter.
She walked through the streets west of the city, and occasionally heard people crying and mourning, and these cries gradually grew louder, and the more she listened, the more frightened she became, and she felt that this plague was extremely contagious and widespread, so she hastened her pace and hurried to Zhao's mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the Zhao Mansion and showed the token, he easily entered, and the guards outside the door did not have any protective measures, but they were a little curious why Lin Wuwu wanted to cover his mouth and nose.
"Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi!" At this time, Zhao Yi was still asleep.
"Zhao Yi! Get up! Lin Wuwu was a little anxious, this Zhao Yi couldn't wake up, and Zhao Yi's sleeping posture was really indescribable, who would have thought that a young man who was secretly promised by many girls would sleep in such a strange and varied position!
Lin Wuwu saw that he couldn't wake up Zhao Yi, so he picked up the folding fan on the table and slapped Zhao Yi on the buttocks!
"Ouch!" Zhao Yi opened his eyes in a daze, "Which Xiao Xiao's junior actually attacked Uncle Ben while he was sleeping!" ”
Zhao Yi opened his eyes and saw a person who covered half of his face, and he felt puzzled at first, but when Zhao Yi saw that it was Lin Wuwu, the world seemed to freeze for a while.
Lin Wuwu saw that Zhao Yi woke up and looked at him with wide eyes, and didn't care about anything else, and directly started to get down to business: "Zhao Yi, there is a plague in Jinzhou City, you have to take care of yourself, don't run around these days, remember to find something to cover your mouth and nose." ”
"Ahh Yes? Pestilence? Zhao Yi was still confused.
"Hey, now that you can't tell you clearly in this state, you better get up first." Lin Wuwu urged Zhao Yi to get up and change clothes and wash.
However, Zhao Yi sat on the bed for a long time and didn't move, just looked at Lin Wuwu in a daze, his face was still a little red.
Lin Wuwu looked at Zhao Yi's face flushed and was startled, could it be that Zhao Yi had been infected? "Why don't you get up? Do you feel weak in your limbs? Body fever? Did you go to the east of the city yesterday? ”
Zhao Yi was speechless for a while, "This... You look at me like this, how do I change my clothes... I'm afraid you've forgotten the fact that you're a woman..."
Lin Wuwu reacted at this time, "Okay, I'll go out first, you quickly change your clothes and wash up, and I'll talk to you in detail." ”
Zhao Yi nodded like a shy little daughter-in-law, so Lin Wuwu hurried out of the door, and as soon as he closed Zhao Yi's door, he met Zhao Yi's mother, Li Yuebai, who happened to be passing by.
