A coughing sound woke up the sleeping old man to a coughing sound.

lifted the quilt and walked in front of her granddaughter, she was coughing badly, and her chest was constantly bullying.

The old woman was so anxious when she saw the little girl like this, and her tears came out in a hurry.

The hour was too late, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the old woman didn't dare to go to the doctor with her granddaughter alone, so she had to keep wiping the sweat on her body with a cold handkerchief.

I accidentally saw the beans on the child's body, and when I thought about it, the old woman seemed to understand something, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.

After calming down, she brought hot water and unbuttoned the child's clothes, and sure enough, her skin was covered with this little pimple.

may be because she is still uncomfortable, the child is unwilling to cooperate, and the old woman gently coaxes her: "Obediently let grandma look at you and give you a call." ”

Miraculously, the little girl stopped struggling and let her grandmother apply warm compresses to it, and suddenly became much more comfortable.

"Grandma, itchy." The child was about to grab it with her hands, but the old woman stopped her.

The child tossed many times in one night, and vomited halfway, after all, the old man is old, and he is a little unable to take care of it.

The third watch day has passed, and the task of the watchman has been completed, and the old woman can't resist the sleepiness, so she falls asleep on the side of the little girl's bed.

The sound of vomiting came into her ears, and the old woman opened her eyes alertly, and she was even more distressed when she looked at the child's uncomfortable appearance.

Holding the little girl in her arms, the old woman choked up and said, "Good girl, you have to persevere, you can't leave your grandmother alone." ”

The child's parents died young, and their grandchildren depended on each other, and their granddaughter was all she had.

Before her tears could fall, the child vomited again.

There was a knock on the door, and the old woman said yes, and put the child's head on the pillow, and went to the courtyard. The door was not opened.

"I've got you some good stuff, why don't you open the door?" Listening to the voice is like the neighbor's old wife Wang.

Usually she takes good care of their grandparents and grandchildren.

The old woman replied, "Don't come near our house in the future, my granddaughter has smallpox." ”

There was a loud bang outside, and the basin fell to the ground, followed by a rush of footsteps, and the old woman could hear the sound of her leaving.

Turning around and seeing her granddaughter still like this, not to mention how distressed she was, she came to the kitchen and only had some corn porridge after tinkering for a long time, so she could only be satisfied with her hunger first.

Thick polenta is easy to swallow for a child, but difficult for a sick child.

The old woman who knelt on one knee squatted in front of the child with a bowl: "Obediently, eat a little." ”

The child whimpered uncomfortably, and finally vomited out all the food he had eaten.

Mrs. Wang, who had just come to the old woman's house, also had smallpox and a high fever, and her family was so anxious that she couldn't speak.

The daughter-in-law of the old woman Wang invited a doctor, and the latter was scared enough by the pulse, and he took several steps backwards.

Pointing to the old woman Wang on the sickbed, the doctor was so frightened that his voice trembled: "God, heaven, smallpox." ”

It took a long time to spit out these two words, and there was not the slightest trace of blood on the doctor's face, which was frightened.

Mo said that he was gone, and even the family members of the old woman Wang looked at her in horror when they heard it.

The son of the old woman said, "How can my mother get smallpox? ”

They didn't know that the granddaughter of the old woman next door had this disease, so they couldn't figure it out at all.

How can a good person get this disease? Smallpox kills.

Women can only cry when they encounter things, and the wife on the side has already cried, and her shoulders can't stop shaking.

The man yelled impatiently: "Don't cry, it's messy enough, I don't have the heart to coax you." ”

It's too late to take care of her mother, who has the mood to take care of her emotions?

The woman was also stunned for a while, and took her daughter to the courtyard next door.

They won't be able to get out for a while, so they should try to avoid this place as much as possible.

"Doctor, you can't go home now, why don't you take care of my mother with me, and I'll give you silver." The man said.

The child is still young and can't do without the care of his mother, and with the presence of a doctor, he can help a little bit with his medical skills.

After thinking about it again and again, for the safety of his family, the doctor agreed.

Huang Yu found that several families not far from him were all confined doors, so he was a little puzzled.

There are always people walking the streets and alleys at this hour, why are they still closing the door?

Maybe someone was taking a nap, and Huang Yu didn't think much about turning around and going into his room.

More and more people are infected with smallpox, from children to the elderly, and some strong people who can't resist this immunity are also infected, which makes people panic for a while.

The old woman's granddaughter had a high fever, and her body cramped uncontrollably, and the old woman seemed to see despair and cried heartbreakingly: "God, you let me suffer this, I am willing to die in place of my granddaughter." ”

What was surprising was that the child stopped convulsing, but it was still very uncomfortable.

"Itchy, itchy." The child said.

After so many days, this was the first word that the little girl spat out, and the old woman was overjoyed, and she grabbed her hand and did not let her scratch it, and blew it on her with her mouth, and the child cried uncomfortably.

The child's resistance itself is not good, she can't eat, her head is getting more and more dizzy, she tries to open her eyes and look at her relatives, but she can't open her eyelids for a long time, she can only look at her grandmother's sad appearance through a gap.

As soon as the old woman looked up and saw that the child's hand had been lowered, she naturally understood something, and looked up to the sky and cried: "My granddaughter, you can't die, don't leave grandma." ”

There were also unsuspecting villagers who heard this cry, and goosebumps were about to fall to the ground.

An elder in the village said, "What's going on? ”

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe trying to find the source of the sound.

"I've heard that some people here have smallpox, so let's get out of here." The young man behind him pulled the white-bearded old man and left, as if he were fleeing.

As soon as he heard the word smallpox, the old man who had just planned to find out didn't dare to stay here.

Therefore, everyone in the neighborhood knew that these families were infected with smallpox, and all of them could not avoid it, and they also told their children not to run over there.

However, there are children who don't want to listen to their parents, and they want to play with the little girl, but what makes him wonder is that there is only crying inside.

The little boy shouted, "Is anyone there?" ”
