Chapter 174: Drought

As long as everyone saves a little money, it should be able to last for a while.

I only hope that the imperial court can come up with a solution as soon as possible, or God can give them a way to live and rain heavily.

However, these are all hands on others to give their lives, Yao Muwan is not so extravagant, although there is no worry about her life for the time being, but the drought knife is hanging over their heads.

We can't completely pin our hopes on God's mercy or the court's disaster relief, after all, technology is limited in this era, and even if there is silver, the lack of water is difficult to solve.

Moreover, not to mention the corruption of the entire court, it has always been a problem.

In particular, some officials have made a lot of money from natural disasters, and Yao Muwan does not expect them to help them solve their problems at all.

When the time comes, if she doesn't step on it, she should burn high incense.

However, if the heavy rain does not come for a long time, it will be a matter of time before it continues.

Natural disasters are accompanied by a large number of deaths, accompanied by various plagues and diseases.

At the bottom of the medical level in this era, the easiest and safest way to deal with the epidemic is to isolate everyone and then let them wait for death.

Yao Muwan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she thought of this.

She didn't want such a thing to happen, especially her lovely younger siblings, the venerable brother and father, she absolutely could not tolerate them dying in front of her, or being accompanied by danger.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Before the real crisis comes!

But to put it lightly, Yao Muwan is now in a mess of everything.

Because of such a thing, she had never experienced it before.

Just when Yao Muwan thought she had time, as soon as she rushed back, she heard that something had happened in the village.

A lot of cattle, sheep and poultry died of thirst due to lack of water, and everyone was reluctant to waste it, so they ate those poultry!

Yao Muwan was inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart, and hurriedly went to find someone to ask if there were any more poultry.

In the end, only one dead sheep was found, and the sheep was a little different from the normal thirsty one, and the death was very strange, and the taste was very strange.

Yao Muwan endured the stench and looked at it for a while, always feeling that something was not quite right.

Then, as soon as I got home, I heard that some of the people who had eaten poultry meat seemed to have a high fever!

Yao Muwan couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, isn't this a precursor to the plague?

Some diseases are infected by dwarf-deserved and drought-stricken birds, and then the sick poultry are eaten by people, and finally other lesions are produced in people, infection!

This...... Next, it's the plague!

Yao Muwan guessed correctly, and at night, more people fell ill.

Yao Muwan immediately rushed home, gathered everyone, and asked them solemnly.

"You haven't eaten those sick and dead poultry today, have you?"

"Nope."

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Yao Muwan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good if you haven't eaten it, as long as you haven't come into contact with pathogens, you won't be so easily infected.

But if you eat it, things are not good.

Yao Yuntao seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter, and whenever the news of someone fainting and having a fever came, his face became even paler.

Yao Muwan had already noticed that something was wrong with him, and in the end, it was almost certain that she called Yao Yuntao to her side and looked at him deeply.

Yao Yuntao dodged his eyes and didn't dare to look at Yao Muwan.

Liang didn't see Yao Muwan speak, so he could only ask stubbornly: "Sister, what are you looking for me?" ”

Yao Muwan looked at him steadily, "Yuntao, your face is not very good. ”

Yao Yuntao smiled reluctantly, "Really? Sister, I'm fine, don't worry about it. ”

At this time, Yao Yuntao may not have noticed that not only did he have a bad face, but he was also covered with cold sweat, his eyes were straight, and something was obviously wrong.

Yao Muwan thought of those who were sick, and always felt that Yao Yuntao's current appearance was somewhat similar to them, but she didn't dare to admit it, and she didn't want to admit it.

In this case, in this day and age, to be infected with the plague is tantamount to a death sentence.

Yao Yuntao is still so young, Yao Muwan can't see anything happen to him at all.

I'm afraid that my father and mother and Xiaoxue will not be able to stand it.

And Yao Muwan has long regarded Yao Yuntao as her own brother, and she can't accept such a cruel thing.

Yao Muwan saw that Yao Yuntao was afraid, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, of course she wouldn't believe his words, her face sank again, and she asked again: "You really don't have anything to hide from your sister?" ”

Yao Yuntao was already about to cry, and said tremblingly: "Sister......"

He knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he lowered his head, "Aunt Liu next door gave me a bowl of dead goose meat, and I ate them all." ”

Yao Muwan's heart tightened, looking at this situation, Yao Yuntao was undoubtedly infected with the epidemic.

"Are you alone? Did Xiaoxue and the others eat? ”

Yao Yuntao shook his head and said dejectedly: "No, everyone was not at home at that time. ”

Yao Muwan still can't relax, even if the others are fine, but Yao Yuntao is already an ironclad fact, what should she do?

How can I save Yao Yuntao and save the people in this village?

Looking at Yao Yuntao's pitiful little face, Yao Muwan couldn't scold him again, so she comforted him helplessly.

"Yuntao, don't worry, my sister will definitely save you no matter what, my sister won't let you die so easily! You are obedient at home, don't run around, don't eat with your parents and brother Xiaoxue, any supplies must be separated, this matter is very important, you must remember! ”

Yao Yuntao nodded obediently, he knew very well that his sister was doing this all for the good of himself and his family.

Yao Yuntao is not an ignorant child, he knows that he has done something wrong, and he also knows what his current physical condition is.

He knew all the villagers who had fainted, and of course he didn't want his father, mother, brother, and Xiaoxue to be the same as him.

Although Yao Yuantao was very scared, when Yao Muwan said this sentence categorically, the uneasiness and fear in his heart slowly disappeared.

I don't know why, Yao Yuntao just believes that his sister will definitely find a way to save herself.

His sister has always been very capable, sometimes like a god, Yao Yuntao just believes that his sister must have a way to survive.

Perhaps others who would faint could be saved.

However, although Yao Muwan said something to comfort Yao Yuntao, in fact, she didn't know the bottom of her heart.

She is a cook, although her cooking skills are very good, she is also versatile, she knows how to eat medicinal food, but she has never tried to cure diseases and save people, and drive out the plague.

If you accidentally kill someone, how can you get it?

Especially that the other party was actually her own brother, which made Yao Muwan's heart feel unprecedented pressure.
