Chapter 282: Plague
"Oh, this son, hello, he is a villager in our village, he is sick, we are going to take him back for treatment." The woman replied politely.
"Oh, I see, I think he's not very sick." Tong Xiaolai glanced at the man and said.
I saw that the men were carrying him onto the stretcher.
"Alas~" Speaking of his illness, the woman sighed sadly, "Yes, it's a pity that he is seriously ill." ”
"yes, that's a pity." Tong Xiaolai also saw it.
"Where are you from, and how did you end up here?" The woman glanced at them, and saw that their costumes were very strange, they were clothes she had never seen before, and Tong Xiaolai didn't know if they were weapons or anything in their hands, but she didn't think they were ordinary ordinary people.
"We came from another world, and we were fortunate enough to pass through this place, and we met him here, and then we met you." Tong Xiaolai replied.
"Another world?" The woman sounded curious.
"Yes, another world, I know it sounds incredible, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is, here we come! We're here to help you, we're here to help you get things done. ”
"Childe, what are you talking about? What task? Why can't I understand? ”
At this moment, the man next to him: "Doctor, the patient is ready!" I saw that the patient had been placed on a stretcher and secured.
I saw the woman turn around and say to the men, "Carry him back first, carry him to my room, and I'll come later, and remember to be careful when you go down." ”
"Yes, doctor!" The men carried the sick man first.
"You're a doctor?" Tong Xiaolai was slightly surprised.
"Yes, I'm the village doctor. Thank you for helping us find him, otherwise he would have died in terror. ”
"Oh, you're a doctor, and you're a doctor! I'll just say, your white coat seems to be some kind of profession, it turned out to be a doctor, I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful doctor, it's really young and promising! Tong Xiaolai praised and said.
"I don't want to go back...... I don't want to go back......" the patient struggled on the stretcher, already being carried away.
"It seems that it is a blessing to be sick to meet such a doctor! Brother, don't give up the treatment, when you are cured, let's play again! Tong Xiaolai said goodbye to the patient.
"Childe is serious, he is just a woman, and he has passed on some medical skills in his family, only because the village has recently been infected with a strange disease, so that Childe can see such a field and make Childe smile."
"Wherever you are, it doesn't matter. But if I'm not mistaken, you just said that the village was seriously ill."
"Yes. It's a terrible contagion! ”
"Contagion?!" Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan were both shocked at the same time.
"Yes. The villagers are still waiting for me to go back to see a doctor, so I won't say more, but where are you going? The female doctor said.
"We're lost, and we don't know where we're going."
"The mountain roads around here are steep, foggy, and inaccessible, if you don't dislike it, go back with us."
"Well, we're worried that we're going nowhere." Tong Xiaolai readily agreed.
"Those two, let's go, the patient is still waiting for us." The female doctor was in a hurry to go back.
"Okay then, Xia Yuxuan, let's go." Tong Xiaolai shrugged his backpack.
"Hmm." Xia Yuxuan agreed.
The female doctor led the way, and Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan followed closely......
The fog was blurry, and she couldn't see the road clearly, and Tong Xiaolai didn't know where the village was, so she had to follow her all the way and hold Xia Yuxuan tightly to prevent her from getting separated.
The two followed the female doctor to the left for a distance, and then walked downward, looking at the feeling of walking, Tong Xiaolai could clearly feel that he was going down the mountain.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I went down out of the fog, and my vision gradually became clearer.
Standing on the mountainside, they looked down from the top of the hill and saw a village not far away at the foot of the mountain.
The female doctor pointed to the village below and said, "That's our village, we're almost there." ”
But seeing that under the mountain, the plants are very green, and there are a lot of crops, which looks harmonious and quiet from a distance, which makes people have a sense of yearning.
The two followed the female doctor down the rugged mountain road, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they passed some messy fields of crops, and they were almost to the village.
In other words, Tong Xiaolai looked at the crops at the entrance of the village and felt that something was not quite right.
"How is this crop field in a mess?" Tong Xiaolai pointed to the chaotic crops in the field, only to see that these crops were falling down, withering and withering, as if they had been abandoned.
The villagers don't care for the crops, and Tong Xiaolai thinks this is not normal.
"Alas, Childe, let's go into the village and talk about it." I saw the female doctor sigh helplessly.
Tong Xiaolai: "......"
Despite their suspicions, Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan still followed her.
"Give!" When they came to the village gate, the female doctor handed each of them a white veil.
"What is this?" Tong Xiaolai didn't know why she wanted to give them a veil.
After the female doctor had given them, she first put on the veil demonstratively. I saw that she covered her mouth and nose with a veil, as if she was wearing a mask.
"Why do you wear a veil?" Tong Xiaolai saw that she had put it on skillfully.
"Just be obedient." The female doctor said.
"Okay. Since you have come to someone else's territory, it is better to follow the arrangement first. Tong Xiaolai and Xia Yuxuan helped each other, both put on veils, and then officially stepped into the village.
However, after entering the village, at a glance, the scene in front of him shocked Tong Xiaolai.
Tong Xiaolai's whole body froze, stunned.
From the mountain, it was a sight, but when you enter the village, you realize that it is a different scene.
But there is a village road on the road, there are many houses on both sides of the road, some are bamboo huts, some are blue brick houses, quite retro color, can make people feel like they have returned to ancient times.
But in such a seemingly quaint village, the villagers did not know what was wrong, one by one they were either lying on the road or leaning against the wall by the roadside, their faces were covered with blisters, their bodies were purple and black, and they were paralyzed there weakly, gasping for breath, and some were already covered with straw mats and were dead. The bodies were still on the road, and there was no one to collect them.
These dead people all had the same symptoms before they died, their faces were blistered, their bodies turned from blue to purple, and finally from purple to black, until they vomited blood and died when they were completely black, and finally even the blood they vomited out was black.
Those whose faces are blue, purple, and black, and who are on the verge of death but not yet dead, the purple and blacker their faces are, the more serious the situation is, and although these terminally ill people are not dead, they are already dying people, and they are waiting for death.
Along the way, corpses and dying people were everywhere.
"What's wrong with these people?!" Tong Xiaolai looked at the scene in front of him and exclaimed, Xia Yuxuan hid behind Tong Xiaolai even more fearfully.
"Ah!!h
At this moment, Xia Yuxuan screamed violently.
"Help me...... Save me...... Save...... I ......"
A dying man crawled to Xia Yuxuan's feet, struggling to ask her for help.
But seeing that he was a middle-aged man, his clothes were tattered and dirty, his face was blistered, his body had begun to darken, and judging from the symptoms, there were no days left to live.
Tong Xiaolai and the two dodged back, avoiding the man.
"Doctor, you're here, they're dying!" A man rushed from the village to the entrance of the village, and his symptoms appeared to be better.
"Is the medicine boiled, pour it on them!" The female doctor replied.
"Yes!" Then the man was gone.
"What the hell is going on here?" Tong Xiaolai couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"This is the infectious disease I told you about." The female doctor said, and the three of them said as they walked.
"Contagion! What contagion?! ”
"Childe, I'll tell you the truth, our village has a plague, and many villagers have been infected because of it. This plague is so terrible, once infected, it is almost a dead end, and the process is extremely painful, it is worse than death! The only remaining medicines in the village can only delay their symptoms, but not cure them. Most of the people in the village have already left, leaving only some sick people or relatives, and a few villagers who are reluctant to leave to stay and help. ”
"What about you? Why don't you go? Aren't you afraid of death? ”
"We are the only doctor in this village, and if we are gone, they will really have no end in sight. We used to be people from a village, and we couldn't bear to abandon them and see them die. ”
Speaking of this, a wave of admiration couldn't help but arise spontaneously from the bottom of Tong Xiaolai's heart. It is not easy for a weak woman to hold up the hope of the whole village at the risk of being infected!
The three of them walked in from the entrance of the village and walked on the main road, only to see that the people in the places they passed were not living, and the road was also full of wailing and moaning, accompanied by the sound of coughing from time to time.
The whole village was hung over a kind of shadow of death, which became lifeless. Tong Xiaolai saw desperate faces on their faces.
"They're so miserable!" Xia Yuxuan couldn't bear to look at their miserable situation.
"Daddy! Mother! Don't die! Get up quickly...... Don't die! Get up quickly...... Woo...... "A little girl was wiping tears there.
After walking a few steps, I saw a little girl kneeling beside the bodies of her parents and crying.
