Chapter 308: Mutual Suspicion

Zhong Duoqian didn't know how he got out of Tan Kelong's room, but when he walked out of the room, he felt like he was soaked in cold sweat when the cool breeze outside the door blew him.

He felt uncomfortable with his sweat-soaked clothes, so he reached out to scratch them.

But when he stretched out his hand, he was surprised to find that red pimples had appeared on the back of his hand.

Zhong Duoqian didn't realize the seriousness of the problem when he saw these acne at the first time.

But when he stretched out his other arm, he found that there were also many red pimples on the arm of his other hand.

In the next second, Duoqian quickly pulled his sleeves, and after seeing the situation of his arm clearly, a bad feeling immediately came to his heart.

"I might just be rubella!"

At this time, Zhong Duoqian was still comforting himself, in fact, he already had that terrible conjecture in his heart at this time.

Although he was young, he had heard of smallpox.

According to the old people who experienced the smallpox plague, the smallpox outbreak was covered in pox.

"yes, I'm rubella, maybe I ate something before."

However, once a thought arises, it is impossible to suppress it so simply.

Therefore, Zhong Duoqian has been comforting himself.

But just as he kept comforting himself like this, several people suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard.

These people looked flustered, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they immediately ran towards Tan Kelong's room.

And one of them was too flustered and bumped into Zhong Duoqian all of a sudden.

Due to the force of the impact, the man directly knocked Zhong Duoqian to the ground.

And he himself was tripped over it.

Originally, Zhong Duoqian wanted to get up and scold this guy who didn't have long eyes.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw the man looking at him with frightened eyes.

He ······ He's ······ too."

The man who hit Zhong Duoqian stepped back quickly with his hands on the ground, while his mouth kept shouting.

Seeing this, the others immediately stepped forward and dragged the man back, and their faces were all horrified.

"Who's making a noise outside?"

Tan Kelong in the room was originally playing with the remaining glass bead, but just as he was enjoying it, he heard some noise outside the door.

So he got up and opened the door, and said angrily.

"It's not good to help you! They seem to have smallpox! ”

A person who came to report the news immediately rushed to Tan Kelong's side, and then said eagerly.

"Who got smallpox?"

Tan Kelong didn't react for a while, so he asked casually.

But as soon as he spoke, he realized what the man was talking about.

"What? Smallpox? Where did smallpox come from! ”

At this time, Tan Kelong's fat face also showed a frightened look.

The plague of smallpox is a nightmare for anyone, and it doesn't discriminate against you because you have a lot of money or because you're in a position of power.

Everyone is equal in front of it, and once infected, they can basically only resign themselves to fate.

If you want to survive on your own, or you can only wait for death.

However, the fatality rate of smallpox is too high, according to historical records, but the fatality rate of anyone infected with smallpox is about 30%.

Although the fatality rate may not seem high, it is terrifying that one in three people dies from smallpox.

What's even more terrifying is that this condition is much more contagious than other diseases.

Even if you don't have close contact with a smallpox patient, you can get infected.

And the people who rushed in just now to report the situation to Tan Kelong were originally arranged by Tan Kelong to dispose of the other two people who had swallowed glass beads.

Just as they dragged the two men to a room to prepare for their move, one of them was torn by the crowd in the resistance.

In an instant, the dense acne on his body was discovered by everyone.

At first, they didn't think it was serious.

But when the other of the two saw that his companion was covered in pimples, he immediately pulled back his sleeves.

Not surprisingly, his body was already covered with acne at this time.

At this time, the few people who were about to kill the two of them realized how serious the matter really was.

So they didn't care about the task Tan Kelong ordered.

They rushed out of the room in desperation, and then rushed towards Tan Kelong's room at a rapid pace.

So the next thing is that they knocked down Zhong Duoqian in the yard.

In fact, these people were really scared of smallpox, but as long as they could calm down, they would realize that it was not a wise move to go to Tan Kelone at this time.

Because they completely forgot that the two of them came out of Tan Kelong's room just now.

Since these two people have now been confirmed to have smallpox, how could Tan Kelong, who was in the same room with them just now, be spared.

And the real right thing for them to do should be to run out as soon as possible.

Only in this way can they ensure that their probability of smallpox is reduced.

But it doesn't help to say that now.

"Helper, just now we found that the two people you asked us to get rid of were covered with red pimples, which are clearly smallpox!"

The man immediately said with tears in his voice.

"Are you sure it's not rubella?"

Although Tan Kelong was also extremely nervous at this time, he still tried to restrain his panic and asked.

"How can we even recognize rubella, helper?"

Tan Kelong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw the other party say this.

The man in front of him was a backbone of their Duowen gang.

His father was also a famous doctor in the county town of Sizhou, and he also studied medicine with his father for several years since he was a child.

It's a pity that his father died young, so his family eventually fell into the middle of the road.

Although he had studied medicine, he had not studied very seriously at the beginning, so he had several people die when he was treating people.

As a result, his reputation was discredited and he was sued, and he should have been sentenced to exile.

But in the end, he was brought out of prison by Tan Kelong through a relationship and became a member of the Duowen Gang.

On weekdays, he will be responsible for treating the brothers in the gang for simple illnesses, and occasionally make a cameo appearance as a law enforcer in the law enforcement hall.

This time, he was ordered by the gang leader Tan Kelong to extract confessions from these two people and let them tell the whereabouts of the two glass beads.

"Helper, and this kid also has smallpox!"

Before Tan Kelong could come to his senses, the kid who knocked down Zhong Duoqian just now commanded Zhong Duoqian who was lying on the ground and said loudly.

Tan Kelong was directly woken up by his voice.

"Lao Ding, what should we do now?"

Tan Kelong also eased his hands and feet at this time, he didn't know what to do now.

At this time, he could only turn to the subordinate in front of him who knew a little bit of medical skills.

"I don't know what to do, don't say it's me this smallpox, even if my father is alive, he can't do anything about it!"

The man known as Lao Ding didn't know what to do, so he could only tell the truth.

And his words were undoubtedly like a scoop of cold water, directly extinguishing the last flame of hope in Tan Kelong's heart.

"Then we will directly kill the three of them now and bury them quickly, will we be able to avoid being infected by them?"

Tan Kelong immediately looked at Zhong Duoqian on the ground with a fierce look after pondering for a moment.

"It's not smallpox, it's just rubella!"

Zhong Duoqian saw that Tan Kelong had already become murderous, so he immediately got up and then knelt on the ground and cried.

"Just now Lao Ding said that you all have smallpox, and you still want to deceive Lao Tzu."

Tan Kelong was not as calm and relaxed as he was in the room just now, and he was completely fierce at this time.

"I'm loyal to you, I respect you as if you were my father!"

Zhong Duoqian said with a handful of snot and tears.

At the same time, he was crying as he crawled in the direction of Tan Kron.

His move frightened Tan Kelong and the others to retreat.

"Don't fucking come here, I'll cut you right now!"

Tan Kelong roared angrily at Zhong Duoqian who crawled towards him.

And Tan Kelong also pulled Lao Ding and several others in front of him, wanting to block Zhong Duoqian in this way.

Seeing this, Zhong Duoqian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and then turned around and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.

His movements were like a dexterous rabbit, and Tan Kelong, Lao Ding and others who looked directly at him were dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Zhong Duoqian's figure completely disappeared from their sight that they realized that his Zhong Duoqian's crying just now was just acting for them.

Even when he knelt down and approached the crowd, he was just trying to make everyone retreat so that he could create enough space for himself to escape.

"Gang leader, that kid ran away, can we chase after him?"

A young man who was blocked in front of Tan Kelong looked at the direction where Zhong Duoqian disappeared and asked.

"Are you a fucking idiot? That kid has smallpox, do we think our lives are too long to catch up with now? ”

Tan Kelong slapped him on the head.

"Lao Ding, I heard that smallpox is very contagious, you haven't been infected if you have been in contact with those two guys just now, right?"

Just after Zhong Duoqian disappeared, Tan Kelong suddenly realized that the few people in front of him had come into contact with the two people before.

So he immediately jumped a few steps behind him, widening the distance between him and Lao Ding.

At this time, Lao Ding and the others looked at Tan Kelong in surprise.

They didn't expect that this Tan Cron people would even start to guard against them.

If they hadn't come over to report to Tan Kelong just now, Tan Kelong wouldn't have known about smallpox for a while.

But now this guy still suspects that they are infected, and they don't suspect that he is infected.

And when Lao Ding thought of this, he suddenly realized that Tan Kelong had been in contact with these three smallpox people before.

So he immediately took a few steps back, widening the distance between him and Tan Kelong again.

"What do you mean, Lao Ding?"

Tan Kelong saw that Lao Ding actually took the initiative to distance himself from him, and at the same time, he also showed a vigilant look on his face, which couldn't help but make him feel a little angry.

"Helper, these three people who have smallpox have all been in contact with you!"

Lao Ding didn't care about anything at this time, so he said immediately.

Lao Ding's words immediately reminded several other people, so these people immediately opened up the distance between them and Tan Kelong.

And all of them showed vigilance in their eyes, which made Tan Kelong, who was already very angry, even more angry.

"What do you all mean? Do you want to sentence the Duowen Gang? ”

Tan Kelong, who felt humiliated, could bear it at this time, so he continued to ask angrily.

"Gang leader, we don't mean to betray the gang, it's just that you have been in contact with those three people, so it's very likely that you are also infected, and we are distancing ourselves from you now to help more!"

A middle-aged man said with a flattering face.

"That's right, helper, if you also have smallpox, then we have to make sure that the rest of us don't get infected, otherwise if everyone is all infected, then our Duowen Gang may be completely gone."

The other person followed.

"What the hell do you mean that Lao Tzu will harm many of the Duowen Gang!"

In the end, the man's words completely ignited Tan Kelong's anger, he didn't expect that he would one day be used as the culprit for destroying the Duowen Gang.

"Gang leader Xiao Huang didn't mean that, don't think about it."

At this time, Lao Ding immediately stood up to play a round.

"What else does he mean if he doesn't mean that?"

Tan Kelong still couldn't bear his subordinates talking about him like this.

"Helper, you also said that we have been in contact with those two people just now, and we are likely to be infected at this time, but the symptoms have not yet appeared, so it is wisest for you to keep a distance from us."

Lao Ding is not a loss is an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, he just changed his rhetoric slightly to resolve Tan Kelong's anger.

"Lao Ding, tell me how long it will take for smallpox to have symptoms after being infected?"

Tan Kelong asked worriedly at this time.

"I don't know how long it will take for smallpox to get sick, and my father didn't tell me about these things in the first place!"

Lao Ding said with an embarrassed face at this time.

"What would we do if we were all infected?"

Since he was not sure when the symptoms would appear, Tan Kelong considered the worst-case scenario.

"If we were all infected, the best thing to do would be for us to isolate ourselves and keep all the people in the city from contact with us to prevent them from being infected."

Lao Ding thought for a while and said.

"I don't care if anyone else is infected, what I want to ask now is how we can save our lives if we do get infected."

Tan Kelong immediately said angrily.

In his opinion, if he dies, he still cares about other people who are a, just like me, then he is flooded.

"This ······"

Just as Lao Ding was recalling the knowledge about smallpox that his father had taught, another person suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard.

As soon as the man entered the courtyard, he shouted in a panic.

"It's not good to help the master, our courtyard is surrounded by people from the government!"
