Chapter 214: Illness Comes from the Mouth
Linlang choked.
For this time and space, it is common for three wives and four concubines to have fun.
Even if she crosses over, she can integrate into status and others, but it is difficult to integrate into this. So I was ready to die alone early.
"Give the woman a place to guard the palace sand, and the man can go to the flower building at will? Loyalty should have been a matter for both of them. The boy's words kept echoing in her ears, causing ripples.
Linlang was a little silent.
In the context of such an era, he will only be an outlier.
But Qiubai only thought that she didn't understand, and said with a bit of hatred that iron is not steel, "Forget it, if you marry in the future, I will take care of it for you." ”
……
The master of the yamen was knocking on the cigarette bag.
After hearing about their intentions, he led the two of them back.
"The grain? We didn't see a problem with the food, but we didn't dare to put it in the shop, so it was still in the back of the yard! ”
There are many mountains and few fields in Beishan Prefecture, so there are more hunters than cultivators, and food is relatively rare.
Master Wu must have taken a fancy to this point, so he planned to open a rice shop.
The wagons were parked in a small firewood house, covered with rags.
Linlang took out her mask and gloves and said, "Put this on." ”
Seeing her so cautious, the tip of the master's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Fortunately, Qiubai seemed to see his fear, walked to the front, and opened the rag with Linlang.
The cart of rice lay there quietly, nothing was wrong.
The master just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment the girl suddenly picked up the shovel in the corner next to her and shoveled it down.
"Squeak squeak—"
Suddenly there was a gray shadow rolling between the white rice grains.
Linlang didn't hesitate, raised the shovel, and slapped it viciously.
"Squeak!!
The rat's terrible scream is eerie.
But she didn't blink, only moved quickly and stabbed a string of rats in a row.
In the midst of the blood splashes, one of them crawled out, desperately trying to escape out of the house. But he didn't run a few steps when he was trampled on his tail by a moire boot.
"Squeak!" It struggled frantically, and even turned around to bite the boy.
As soon as it showed its teeth, the flying wooden hairpin pierced its throat and nailed it to the ground. The poisonous rat twitched twice and its fat body was completely immobile.
In the foul smell of the room, the master finally came back to his senses. His eyes stared at Linlang with some fear, "Okay, okay?" ”
"These rats all have the disease on them, and they are the real source of the disease." Linlang shook her head and took off her dirty gloves.
"I'm afraid that there are more than these, they are hiding here and being brought back to Beishan Prefecture, and many of them should have been left in the homes of ordinary people."
Scattering the half-length hair, Linlang frowned and turned over the rice with a shovel, "The saliva, urine and feces of poisonous rats should be the first way of infection." When it reaches people, it begins to become contagious. ”
And how could ordinary people be willing to throw away the grain, it is estimated that they are all washed and cooked as usual. Therefore, in the early stage of the epidemic in Beishan Prefecture, the disease simply entered from the mouth.
"So, what then?" The master suddenly became anxious.
Surrounded by mountains, how can it be so easy to catch poisonous rats even if you want to catch them?
"It's okay, these poisonous rats won't survive the winter."
Poison is not without harm to rats, these poisonous rats are more like time-limited tools, just to achieve the purpose of spreading to people.
Linlang said, "As long as the antidote is formulated to extinguish the infection in people, the rest of the food can no longer be eaten." ”
