Chapter 43: Smallpox in Anle Town
Wang Cui and the others, who were waiting anxiously outside the door, turned their heads sideways to look inside the house from time to time, and explained that it would take two or three hours from Chu Chu to now, and a stick of incense had passed.
"It's out, it's out." The eldest lady comforted Wang Cui, who was slumped in the chair, and patted the back of Wang Cui's hand excitedly when she saw the door of the side room open.
Wang Cui hurriedly got up and stepped forward to ask, "Girl, what's wrong, how is my child?" ”
Xu Xiaoxiao smoothed Wang Cui's arm and comforted: "It's okay." ”
When Wang Cui heard this, his body softened again, and his mouth muttered, "Great, Buddha bless, Buddha bless." ”
The eldest lady and Wang Duo helped Wang Cui to walk to the side room, Xu Xiaoxiao and Tie Zhu walked out of the room, and she came to Chu Qing together.
"Smallpox." She looked sad and said the word thunderclapping with difficulty.
"All of you here need to isolate and not cross paths with healthy people."
Chu Qing didn't speak after hearing this, but lowered his head and pondered, "I'm afraid that even if we are separated from healthy people, it will be useless, Doctor Li has also been in contact with them, and the people they have come into contact with do not know how many there are at present." ”
"At this time, the government needs to investigate, but..."Xu Xiaoxiao thought of the scene of the soldiers massacring the refugees last night, and did not plan to pin his hopes on the government office.
"But what?" Chu Qing looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and expected her to continue.
"The soldiers of the government slaughtered the refugees last night, and I am afraid that the government will know that the people here are suffering from smallpox, and they will attack the people here again." Xu Xiaoxiao said what she was most worried about.
According to last night's actions, it is not impossible, after all, in the eyes of the prefect, the easiest way to calm the trouble will definitely be chosen.
"I'm not going to let him do that." Chu Qing looked outside the door with a gloomy expression, his eyes were gloomy, and his hands were folded behind him.
"You eat it first, it can suppress the virus." Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand in front of Chu Qing and spread out his palm, which was a white pill in his palm.
"I only have a few of them, and now I can only control the source of the disease here."
She was worried that Chu Qing would become suspicious, and emphasized the number of pills.
"Okay." Chu Qing picked up the pill without hesitation and ate it.
"Lord Wang." Wang Duo came out of the side room and saw Chu Qing taking an unknown drug, and he forgot his explanation before going out in a hurry.
"Lord Wang?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Duo first, and then at Chu Qing.
The iron pillar beside him crossed his hands behind his back, his expression was cold, and he watched Chu Qing's every move expressionlessly, he turned around and left the room with anger.
"How can you eat indiscriminately, in case..."At this time, Wang Duo didn't care about his dereliction of duty, and his whole mind was on the pills that Chu Qing had eaten.
"It's okay, I'm sure Miss Xu won't hurt me." Chu Qing swallowed the pill and slowly spoke.
"Are you the prince?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked again, "Are you the king of Yan'an?" ”
At this time, the only prince who appeared in Anle Town was King Yan'an, otherwise any King An would not have risked a huge danger in the chaos of the world.
"Exactly down there." Chu Qing nodded calmly and slightly.
"Heh, a pill was wasted." Xu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and muttered to herself.
"What did you say?" After Wang Duo heard Xu Xiaoxiao's words, he excitedly wanted to step forward to theorize, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
"This is your territory, and without your order, the county will order the killing of refugees outside the city?" Xu Xiaoxiao thought of the tragic scene last night, and the anger in his heart rose straight to the top of his head.
"What do you know? This is no longer the prince's territory. Wang Duo couldn't stand it, his prince was wronged, arguing with a red neck.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Duo and then at Chu Qing in confusion, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it your territory?" ”
"That's right, as early as three years ago, this area was no longer under the jurisdiction of the prince, and this time it was necessary to heal the little prince before returning to Anle Town." The more Wang Duo spoke, the more excited he became, and he stretched his neck and said in a loud voice.
"Shut up." Chu Qing scolded Wang Duo loudly, his face showing anger.
The people in the side room heard the quarrel and walked out of the room, and Wang Cui looked at the three people in the lobby with anger on their faces.
"It's. . . What's wrong? Wang Cui swallowed her saliva and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, this is a pill to prevent you from being infected by the virus, you and your aunt can take it." Xu Xiaoxiao sorted out her emotions, put away her anger, and showed a sweet smile on her face again, and opened her palm towards Wang Cui.
Wang Cui hurriedly waved his hand when he saw it, "This is not good, such a precious pill is still left for others." ”
"Sister-in-law, you have to eat this, Dan Dan is... Infected with the plague, this pill is to block the virus. Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and told Wang Cui the truth, and I don't know if Wang Cui can understand what she said.
"Plague.... Pestilence? Wang Cui's face changed abruptly and he took a few steps back, looking frightened, and looked at the people present at a loss.
"Eat, eat, quick, listen to the girl." The eldest lady walked out of the side room, heard the word plague, and quickly stepped forward to pick up the pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and the other one into Wang Cui's mouth.
"Don't tell anyone about it." Xu Xiaoxiao was worried that the leakage of the matter would attract the pursuit of the government, so he specially instructed Wang Cui and the eldest mother.
"Don't worry, girl, we'll sew our mouths shut." The eldest lady swallowed the pill and nodded, making a sewing motion in front of her mouth.
"This matter will go back to the pharmacy and think about it in the long run." Chu Qing handed the pill to Wang Duo and said to Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Hmm." Xu Xiaoxiao also agreed to go back to the pharmacy and discuss again, after all, the current development of things is beyond her control.
The prince came to Anle Town in person, and with him, maybe things would take a turn for the better, and the villagers of Liujia Village could be protected.
"It's you." The aunt watched Chu Qing and Xu Xiaoxiao talking from the side, and finally stopped at Xu Xiaoxiao, thought for a long time, and suddenly patted her thigh and shouted, "Girl, have you found the child's father?" ”
The eldest lady, who has always been straight, trayed out the thoughts in her heart as soon as she thought about it, and only after she finished saying it did she realize that she was rude and quickly covered her mouth.
"The child's father?" Wang Cui heard the suspicion, and looked at Chu Qing and Xu Xiaoxiao unknowingly.
"That...."Xu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed and hurriedly waved his hand, and Yu Guang glanced at Chu Qing.
She didn't say anything, why did she set up a plot to find her relatives.
"Are you gone?" Iron Pillar heard movement and walked in from outside.
As soon as he entered the door, he attracted a lot of attention, and Qi Shushu's gaze fell on the iron pillar, and he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with doubts.
"Or not, you see that this child looks exactly like this son, this little face, this little nose, and small eyes." The eldest lady didn't notice Xu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment, and compared with Chu Qing on Tie Zhu.
