Chapter Seventy-Six: One Step Late
When I got closer, the person on the bed was still unconscious, there was no blood on his face, and he looked like a person who had been ill for a long time, and the young man in his twenties now looked without any vitality at all, as if he would die in a short time.
Garrot checked his pulse, pondered for a moment, and then stood up.
"How? Can my son's illness be cured? The shopkeeper asked anxiously, looking at Callo with a blank eye, he was just this one son, and if his son also went, he would want to go with him, anyway, there was no one else in the house.
"It can be saved." The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he trembled excitedly: "My son can really be saved!" Childe, you are a living immortal! Immediately knelt down, "As long as we can save our son, the old man will repay his son by making cattle and horses." ”
Jia Luo asked Hua Xiaoxiao to help him up, "No need to do this, I'll prescribe medicine to Ling Lang first, and take two patches of medicine first." That's right! Did Ling Lang eat anything before he got sick, or went to some unclean place? ”
"This ...... He must have been infected, he went out with a few friends a few days ago, and he kept throwing up that night, and had diarrhea in the second half of the night, and the next morning he became ill with a fever, and the symptoms were exactly the same as those of other people who got sick, and several people who went out with him at that time also got this disease, and one of them died the next day after getting sick. ”
The shopkeeper was very sad after speaking, the dead man was her nephew, a year younger than his son, he married a few months ago, and his mother was a few months pregnant, but his nephew was sick, and the family was sad. After his son got sick, his wife was infected first when he was not in good health. Yesterday, the sick person was gone, and now that his son has been saved, hope suddenly rose in his heart.
The cause of the disease had already been diagnosed when Callo had just treated the shopkeeper's son, and now they lacked the source of the disease, and they must have eaten something unclean by mistake.
"Shopkeeper, have you had any unclean food here lately?" Callo asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I came back the day before yesterday, and some time ago I went to the next town to collect the bills, but when I heard that my son was sick, I rushed down immediately." ”
Callo thinks that if the food is okay, there may be a problem with the water source.
"Where does the water you drink come from?"
"Drinking water...... There is a well water in my backyard, and we all drink water from the backyard, but if there is a problem with the water, then why is the family okay with me? The shopkeeper shook his head, thinking that it was not a problem with the water source, but if the water was good, there would be a problem.
"That's not right! Half a month ago, in order to celebrate the autumn harvest, the town held an autumn harvest celebration, and then some people got sick, but at the beginning, there were not many people who got sick these days, my son went out with a few friends a few days ago and came back that night, maybe a few of them were sick at that time, and they would infect my son. Unfortunately, I was not home the night my son became ill. ”
"You're saying a lot of people gathered together to celebrate, and then did most of those people get sick?" Callo asked again.
The shopkeeper nodded, it was true, and it was from that time that he thought that the illness had appeared.
"Then the plague must have started from that ......"
"If so...... Did someone do it that day...... shopkeeper trembled in fright, he didn't expect who was so ruthless to make so many people sick.
"At that time, someone who took medicine may have just made people sick, but I didn't expect that the disease would spread to people later, and now it can't be controlled, so it will evolve into a plague." Hua Xiaoxiao thought, "Fortunately, you have met my master, now that you know, I will go to your mansion in the afternoon to explain, as for us, we still have to continue to hurry." ”
Hua Xiaoxiao has always disapproved of staying in this sickly place, and is ready to leave here in the afternoon.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came down, but thought that there were other people who had not yet been treated, "Childe, can you leave a prescription, there are still many people here who are still sick and cannot be treated." ”
Callo thought of this, "Aman, go get the paper and ink." Leave the prescription to save more people, but she also thought of another thing, "Shopkeeper, you must let the steward here let him investigate thoroughly and solve the case." ”
Someone here has poisoned someone, and if he doesn't find out, that person may continue to harm people.
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, Callo saved his son and now left a prescription, they are the great benefactors here, and he agrees to whatever Callo says now.
After Carlo left the room, the shopkeeper made a meal to thank Carlo for them, but Carlo refused. There was a sick person at home, and she didn't want to bother him to cook anymore.
They still had dry food in their cars, so they left in the afternoon.
The further south you go, the warmer the climate, the more prosperous the place. Closer to the south, Xuanlan opened several cities, and caravans traveled by land and sea, and Xuanlan was stronger than the other three countries under the rule of this generation of emperors.
When night fell the next day, the four of them came to one of the best inns in Wucheng, where they stayed.
Callo washed up well, she has been on the road for the past few days, she has always loved cleanliness, she has endured, as soon as she can bathe in this inn, she will wash well.
When Callo had finished his dinner, Hua Xiaoxiao returned in a rage and threw his sword on the table.
"Tell you to find out the news, what are you doing?" Callo looked at him, and knew that he had found bad news.
Hua Xiaoxiao suddenly became angry: "We are one step late, two days ago, the Qiankun umbrella was bought back by the Ten Thousand Beasts City for a lot of money, and I heard that it was going to be used as a dowry for the daughter of the City Lord of the Ten Thousand Beasts City." What's even more annoying is the object of the marriage of Ten Thousand Beasts City this time, guess who? With that, he looked at Callo.
"Could it be Xuanlan's crown prince? However, the crown prince is already engaged, and the candidate for the crown princess has already been decided, and it is impossible for the daughter of the Ten Thousand Beasts City to want to be the side concubine of the prince. ”
"Not the Prince!" Said negatively.
"It's not the crown prince, is it the prince? However, there are few sons of Emperor Xuanlan, there are only three adults, one is the prince, the other is the third prince and the fifth prince, the third prince is lame, the fifth prince is only twelve years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age of marriage, this Wanshou City is going to marry at this moment, except for the prince, there is no other candidate, is it-"It won't be to send a concubine to Emperor Xuanlan."
Hua Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "No, don't think about it in the Xuanlan royal family, my people heard the news that the object of the marriage of the Ten Thousand Beasts City this time is the Sifang City!"
"Quadrangular City!" Jia Luo was surprised, she really didn't expect it to be Sifang City, "Did you say which one of them is from Sifang City, with the strength of their Ten Thousand Beast City, they won't be interested in Qi Yong!" ”
