Chapter 1021: Precursor to the Plague
Wang Dog Danniu Gao Ma Da is not a vegetarian, seeing Wang Donglai swinging his fist at him, he was not to be outdone and counterattacked.
The two fought hotly, fists to the flesh. No one took advantage.
But Wang Donglai is a clever man, and when he saw that he couldn't please him, he shouted for the rest of the people to help.
The others also hated Wang Goudan's teeth, and their eyes were hot when they watched from the side, so they joined the camp not long after.
There are too many people, which is equivalent to a unilateral group fight, and the crying father who was beaten called his mother, his nose was blue and his face was swollen.
But the door of Ji's house was closed tightly, and no one came out to see. After the beating of the young men, they had to go home with the money in despair.
When they arrived at home, the father and daughter-in-law of the family were overjoyed to see so much money, and when they heard the ins and outs of what they said, they grabbed their son's ears and began to scold:
"You're a fool! The Ji family is such a solid family, how can they owe you your wages! It's a good time to make money, you're really..."
The young men are wronged, of course they can't say that they stupidly lost the opportunity to make money, so they put all the blame on Wang Goudan.
In this way, the young and middle-aged family members in the village hated Wang Goudan and did not listen to Wang Goudan in the back to smear the Ji family.
Wang Goudan's reputation in the village is also completely stinky, and he spends his days in a mess all day long.
The team led by Steward Fan are all experienced people with quick hands and feet, but it took another half a month, and the bright five blue brick and tiled houses were located on the ground.
The house is built in a grand and grand manner, and the Ji family is not stingy, Mrs. Ji knows the truth of beating sticks to sweet dates, and she refused to continue working with the young people in the village before, and now she has to do a good housewarming banquet.
After all, they still have to stay in this village.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Ji asked Ji Liangqing to go into the city to buy meat, Ji Miaomiao did loosen a lot of meat for the family, but those meats were all good meat, and Mrs. Ji was reluctant to use it to entertain guests.
Because of the experience of the young people in the village, the team led by Steward Fan only ate dry rice and vegetarian dishes, and Ji Liangqing did not go to the city to buy meat.
The construction team is still very satisfied, they can eat enough and have wages, where can they find such a good thing?
Now seeing that nothing has happened in the city, Mrs. Ji told Ji Liangqing to go and see again, but told him to be careful, if there is anything wrong, he must find out.
Ji Liangqing understood in his heart that he entered the city with the entrustment of the family, and Mrs. Ji held her granddaughter at the door to teach her to walk.
"Our Miao girl is handsome and well-behaved, and she looks like a blessed girl! This world is chaotic enough, God will definitely not be more chaotic, right? ”
She was half talking to herself, half comforting herself, talking to herself.
Ji Miaomiao frowned, and thought about the materials in the space again.
After coming to the conclusion that even if the family loses a stable life, she can support the family by herself, and she is relieved.
It turned out that Mrs. Ji's worries were right, Ji Liangqing came back from the city not long after, with an empty hand and only a handful of wormwood.
"Mother! Something happened in town! ”
As soon as he entered the door, Ji Liangqing said.
Mrs. Ji's heart sank.
"What's wrong?" She settled down before continuing to ask.
"When I went to the Flower Room Restaurant today, I met the shopkeeper Ye, who said that there had been no meat in the city for more than a month, and said that the guy on the pig farm had a disease, and he died within a few days of vomiting and diarrhea, and some families in the city had these diseases!"
"There were basically no people on the street when I went! I thought that I was afraid of getting into trouble when I went to the city this time, so I took a handful of wormwood. ”
When Ji Liangqing said this, he hurriedly handed the wormwood to Ye Qiuyun on the side, Ye Qiuyun looked at him with a frightened expression, the wormwood was all smoked.
Vomiting and diarrhea died within a few days? Isn't this a plague? How long has it been since the escape? Why is the epidemic here again?
And the sequelae are much more terrible than escaping!
Fleeing the famine is worried about the mob and the loss of food, which has been lost on the way.
But if the epidemic is severe, the number of deaths is unknown.
"That's the plague." Mrs. Ji sighed, as if she had aged a few years in an instant:
"I originally thought it was just swine fever, and the phenomenon of human transmission was just that I was too worried... But I didn't expect it..."
"Mother, what should we do then?" Ji's second sister-in-law hurriedly looked at her two carefree sons who were playing beside her: "Let's stay at home and not go out?" ”
With that, she glanced at her niece again.
My niece is a little fairy, and she usually takes any good things to the house, even if her family doesn't go into the city to buy things, the little niece can support the family.
Although this idea is a bit selfish, the epidemic is really terrible, and Ji Er's sister-in-law can't help it.
"You're such a fool!" Mrs. Ji didn't expect her second daughter-in-law to be so confused, and she suddenly hated that iron could not become steel:
"You think you won't get the plague if you don't go out? If it's serious, won't the emperor order the city to be closed? ”
That's right!
The only way to do this is to lock down the sick and keep the sick in the city.
Send some imperial doctors and folk doctors to study the prescription, and those who can wait for the prescription to be studied will of course live, and those who can't wait will only die.
Second sister-in-law Ji was immediately frightened by Mrs. Ji's words.
She was facing the plague for the first time at such an age, and she didn't have enough experience. Ji Miaomiao knew very well in her heart that the most terrible thing about the plague was its contagiousness.
The second is that it will mutate, if it mutates to be more contagious, or to increase the medium infection, then Lin'an County will become a hell on earth.
Although Niutou Village is not in the city, it is so close to Lin'an County, if Lin'an County becomes a hell on earth, Niutou Village will not be much better.
I can't stay here.
But... The family spent all their savings to build a house, and the house is the root of the peasant!
They abandoned their roots the last time they fled the famine, and now they are about to repair their houses, and they will face another rush?
The Ji family is a little hesitant and reluctant to face this problem, why isn't Mrs. Ji?
At this moment, she was extremely resentful of why she was in such a hurry to repair the house, not to mention spending all the savings she had earned here, and now she was still worried.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Ji said to her children and grandchildren:
"The plague is far less terrible than that, and we must sell the house before it spreads anywhere."
"But where is the house to sell?" Ji Lao is worried.
The house is big, and it is such a brand new house that has just been repaired, where can it be sold if it is sold?
"If we want to leave, we still need some money on the way, and there is not much food at home, so we must prepare dry food."
Mrs. Ji groaned: "The most important thing now is to have silver on hand... The price of the house is a little lower... Try to go to the city to find a tooth shop! ”
The tooth shop is a bit similar to a modern agency, where you can not only buy some maids, but also help find or sell houses.
