Chapter 21: Blockade
Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang with some wonders, and some wondered how Chi Hang fell, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask, after all, a man is so big, and he still falls, and it's not good to say it.
Lin Guyu hugged the bean paste on the stool and let the bean paste eat first, she brought Chi Hang's rice to Chi Hang's bedside, "Can you still eat by yourself?" ”
Chi Hang lay on the bed and nodded pitifully.
Leaving the rice bowl in Chi Hang's hand, Lin Guyu sat next to the bean paste and continued to eat.
Smallpox.
The disease is very contagious, and if it were to spread, few people would be able to escape.
In the past few days, Lin Guyu has been fully armed when he goes out to the mountains to collect medicine.
"Third sister-in-law?" Lin Guyu just came down from the mountain, there is still a lot of harvest in a day today, many herbs Lin Guyu is uprooted, thinking about coming back to plant, before he got to the door, he saw Wang Xiaoqian standing at the door of their house tightly.
Seeing that Lin Guyu was back, Wang Xiaoqian hurriedly greeted him.
Lin Guyu asked with a smile, "Xiaoqian, why are you here, do you want to come in and sit down?" ”
A trace of anxiety flashed on Wang Xiaoqian's face, she looked at Lin Guyu anxiously, and said worriedly, "Third sister-in-law, have you heard, several people in our village have smallpox." ”
What the?
Lin Guyu looked at Wang Xiaoqian in surprise, her brows furrowed, "What's the matter?" ”
During this time, Lin Guyu paid special attention to the Chi family's side, and Chi Ye did not come out, but he left in a hurry after seeing a lot of Lang Zhong entering.
"I'm just here to tell you to be careful." Wang Xiaoqian's black grape-like eyes looked at Lin Guyu worriedly, "You usually like to go out, so it's better not to go out recently." ”
"Thank you." Lin Guyu thanked sincerely, "You better go back early, it's always right to be careful." ”
Waiting for Wang Xiaoqian to leave, Lin Guyu walked towards home with a bamboo basket on his back and closed the door with his hand.
Sure enough, just as she thought, smallpox had already begun to spread.
Chi Hang saw Lin Guyu come in and struggled to get up from the bed.
His body was not so uncomfortable, but Ji Hang's face still had a painful look.
"Gu Yu," Chi Hang walked up to Lin Guyu step by step, and shouted worriedly, "My mother came over just now and said that smallpox has begun to be infected outside, so you better not go out." ”
Lin Guyu stood in front of the dustpan in the courtyard and was busy, and hurriedly took out the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket.
"I've heard that." Lin Guyu was busy drying herbs, and said casually, "I'll cook some medicine, and if I drink it for a while, maybe it can improve my resistance......"
Lin Guyu paused before he spoke, "It's to strengthen your body, and when you are well, you won't be infected." ”
Chi Hang bent down to take out the herbs in the bamboo basket, and spread it out in the dustpan like Lin Guyu.
"So you stay at home these days and don't go out," Chi Hang glanced at Lin Guyu beside him worriedly, and said worriedly, "In case ......"
"It's okay now." After Lin Guyu flattened the herbs in the dustpan, his brows furrowed even tighter when he thought of Chi Ye.
I don't know what is happening to the pool industry now, many people can't survive for half a month.
If it were modern, there would be a way to treat it, but here there are no medical devices.
If there is only one way to treat it, it is to fight poison with cowpox.
Lin Guyu's brows furrowed even tighter, she knew in her heart that cowpox could fight poison with poison, she couldn't extract cowpox completely, and use cows that gave birth to cowpox to directly milk those who had smallpox, so that they might be able to get better.
In modern times, such a success rate is high. But here, Lin Guyu really didn't know if this was feasible.
Chi Hang looked at Lin Guyu standing in place in a daze, his face seemed ugly, and he raised his hand to put it on Lin Guyu's forehead.
Lin Guyu felt that someone was touching her, and her body subconsciously stepped back, and her eyes looked at Chi Hang vigilantly.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Chi Hang withdrew his hand, without a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said softly, "Do you have a fever?" ”
"Nope." Lin Guyu responded absentmindedly and continued to dry the herbs.
Waiting for these to be done, Lin Guyu washed his hands, and also asked Chi Hang to wash his hands, and the two of them walked inside.
Back in the room, Lin Guyu glanced at Chi Hang hesitantly and asked in a low voice, "How is the fourth brother's health?" ”
"Not good."
Chi Hang thought that Zhou was crying when he came here, his eyes were red, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and then said, "I have looked for several Langzhong, but no one can cure the disease." ”
Dousha sat on the bed, playing with a small cow in her hand, "Mother, grandma gave it." ”
Lin Guyu touched the head of the bean paste with a smile, looking lonely.
Even if she got the first grade in her major class in school, what could she do, but now she can't do anything, she can only watch those people fall ill one by one.
Lin Guyu was absentmindedly cooking lunch, and when he finished eating and cleaned up all this, Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang uneasily, "I want to go home and see, I don't know how my mother and brother are doing?" ”
Instinctively wanting to refuse, Chi Hang knew that as long as Lin Guyu went out, the danger of getting sick would increase by one point.
"I'll be right back as soon as I'm done." Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang's hesitant appearance and immediately assured.
"I didn't mean that." Chi Hang's brows furrowed slightly, and his voice gradually lowered, "I'm just afraid that you will get sick too." ”
Is he caring about her?
Lin Guyu glanced at Chi Hang in a daze, and then said with a smile, "I'll be fine, don't worry." ”
What Lin Guyu wanted to do, Chi Hang never stopped him, and nodded.
Dousha saw that Lin Guyu was leaving, and immediately hugged Lin Guyu's legs, and his whole body was stuck to Lin Guyu's body, "Mother, I'll go, together." ”
What Dousha is saying now can only simply indicate what he means.
"You're at home with Daddy." Lin Guyu hurriedly hugged the bean paste, she is an adult, and her resistance is much better than that of the bean paste, "Mother will come back later." ”
After settling the two families in the house, Lin Guyu walked outside in full gear.
Lin Guyu was anxious, her steps were faster, and in the end she ran directly.
Running to the junction of the two villages, Lin Guyu saw that someone had fenced off their village.
"Go back, don't come out!" The people of Linjia Village held hoes in their hands one by one, and the man standing at the front looked at Lin Guyu with a cold face.
Lin Guyu involuntarily stepped back, and looked at the leading man with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man in the lead was very tall, looked strong, and his face was covered with something, "The people in your village have smallpox, and none of them can come out, what if they kill us?" ”
"I'm not sick!" Lin Guyu said anxiously.
"Whether you are sick or not, you can't come out, don't think about coming out of the village, now your village is all quarantined." The lead man shouted roughly.
"You mean, only people in our village have smallpox, not you?" Lin Guyu asked anxiously.
The leading man raised the hoe in his hand with some impatience and said with a cold face, "Yes, go back quickly." ”
Lin Guyu said "thank you" and walked back, listening to the man's meaning, smallpox only spread in their village, and did not happen in other villages.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of him, and Lin Guyu walked over quickly, and saw a woman pulling a man about forty years old.
"You liar, the medicine you gave is useless, my son is vomiting and diarrhea now, you still want me a tael of silver, you want the life of our whole family! You pay me back......" The woman wailed and pulled the man's sleeve, and with her other hand she slapped the man's arm like a shrew.
Hearing the woman say that, Lin Guyu's footsteps slowly stopped.
"It's you stupid, who knows that your son has smallpox, and now even the emperor can't save him, so you should die." The man spoke, pushing the woman away and walking unhappily.
Lin Guyu walked over a little angrily, grabbed the arm of the man, and said angrily, "Since you can't see a good disease, what kind of money do you collect from others, and you still collect so much, and the doctors in the town don't collect as much as you." ”
That Langzhong didn't react for a while, and looked at Lin Guyu in a daze, where did the nosy yellow-haired girl come out?
Lin Guyu didn't wait for Lang Zhong to speak, and asked with a cold face, "Where did you get the confidence that you think you need so much money for treatment, why don't you hurry up and send the money back to others." ”
One of Lang Zhong's hands was grabbed by the crying man, and the other arm was grabbed fiercely by Lin Guyu.
"Let it go!" Lang Zhong looked at Lin Guyu unhappily and wanted to shake off Lin Guyu's hand, but he didn't expect Lin Guyu to grasp it very tightly.
"Pay back!" Lin Guyu looked at Lang Zhong with a cold face, raised his legs, kicked Lang Zhong's calf without hesitation, twisted Lang Zhong's hand behind him beautifully, looked at Lang Zhong kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Hurry up, or I will break your arm!" ”
"You're breaking the law!" Lang Zhong turned his head to look at Lin Guyu, his face was full of horror, and his voice trembled, "You let go of me!" ”
"The village has been blocked," Lin Guyu glanced at Lang Zhong sarcastically, and said lightly, "They are just waiting for us all to die, and the fire is burned clean, do you think your arm is there, or not, what's the difference?" ”
Lang Zhong's body trembled even more, and his legs on the ground couldn't help but tremble, "I give money, can't I give money?" ”
Lin Guyu slowly let go of his hand and stood aside.
Na Langzhong got up slowly, stared at Lin Guyu with a pair of eyes, slowly put his hand back into his sleeve, and reluctantly took out the money bag.
"Underwhelming!" Lang Zhong clenched the money bag in his hand and raised his hand to beat Lin Guyu.
The woman still had tears on her face, and she watched in horror as the fist was about to hit Lin Guyu's face.
