What Wang Guilin didn't say was that in fact, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart, remembering that the plague that Aunt Wang told him at the beginning seemed to be caused by the hot weather and too many deaths.

Now the farther south you go, the hotter the weather becomes, and not everyone can hold on to food like them along the way, and there are not a few people who have fallen on both sides of the road, and sometimes they fall directly in the middle of the stone road, and they have to cross over.

As many people die and the weather is hot, will the plague also be produced?

Wang Guilin was vigilant, "In the future, when we see corpses, we will all walk around, and we are not allowed to touch them."

When some homeless people see someone falling in front of them, they may pull them to the side to find a secret place to share the food, or they will directly divide them on the spot, and those who do not eat people will also grope on them to see if there is anything that can be used, and if there is really none, they will also pull away all their clothes.

Several people braved the scorching sun to travel, and now the most difficult thing for them was not food, but water.

During the break, they sat down in a sheltered place and sent people to find water, while the others waited in place.

Their food is secretly prepared in the middle of the night, and they never dare to open fire during the day to attract people.

After a short break, there was a noise ahead.

"What's going on?" Fang Mu asked curiously.

Brother Fang glanced at it, "It is estimated that someone has fallen again, and they are dividing the meat."

Fang Mu looked away with a bad face, hating herself for asking so much.

Whenever one person falls down this road, countless people will pounce on the body, and divide it on the spot.

There are even some people who rely on their strong bodies to gather a group of people and set up stalls directly on the spot, selling human flesh like pork.

Now that there is a shortage of water, they still pour out human blood and sell it as water.

There are quite a few people who buy it.

The man who had rested for a while to look for water returned.

Everyone looked expectantly, but the other party just shook his head and didn't speak again.

Seeing that the other party didn't find water, the others were all dark-eyed.

When the time came, he licked his dry lips and continued to walk forward with heavy steps.

……

After Dong Zhongren came to visit for a period of time, there was another accident in Taixi County.

The streets have become sparsely populated, and most of the shops have closed.

In contrast to the prosperity of the past, there is a sense of panic throughout the city.

The East Gate has been completely closed to the public.

The place where the displaced people were housed at the West Gate was full of busy people wearing masks, and the smell of herbs wafted from the city gate.

A few days ago, Wang Xiujuan confirmed that a homeless person carrying the smallpox virus came to the gate of Taixi County, and after three days of quarantine, the outbreak was completely outbreaked.

Hundreds of people were infected at once.

This was followed by news that thousands of people had been infected.

In total, more than 4,000 people are now infected with the smallpox virus.

All of these people were assigned to quarantine according to the severity of their illness, and were controlled separately from the rest of the displaced people.

Chang Yuan sent a large number of troops to help maintain order.

The homeless people were very desperate after they found out that they had the smallpox virus, and then they heard that Ning Changrong was going to let them be locked up in other places, and they were all panicked when they were isolated alone, afraid that they would be burned to death directly, and they all attacked the soldiers' siege defenses, if it weren't for the soldiers all preparing in advance and killing dozens of people, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth.

Under the great calamity, there will be a great plague.

There are at least hundreds of thousands of displaced people coming in waves.

Wang Xiujuan had already prepared in her heart, but when she really confirmed that the plague had occurred, she felt cold in her hands and feet.

didn't recover from it for a day and a night at home, so scared that Ning Qingxi didn't go anywhere, and stayed with her.

"."

Wang Xiujuan opened her eyes and found Ning Qingxi lying on the side of the bed, and was awakened by her movement as soon as possible.

"Milk, are you alright? You scared me to death! If it weren't for the fact that you weren't sick or burned,

I'm worried about what's wrong with you."

"You've slept all day and night!" Ning Qingxi's tone was a little choked and panicked.

Wang Xiujuan stroked her head, she had been helping until midnight after being diagnosed that day, and when she came back, she fell asleep and slept for a day and a night.

She touched Ning Qingxi's little hand and comforted, "Milk is fine, I guess I'm tired."

"It's good that you don't have a fever, otherwise I would have thought you were infected." Ning Qingxi's face palpitated.

"You stupid boy, you forgot that our family has been vaccinated, and we have antibodies to the smallpox virus in our bodies, and besides, I was tightly surrounded by masks at the time, and I didn't have direct contact with them. Otherwise, do you think that the milk is really so stupid that she rushed to check it when she knew that she might have an epidemic?" It is indeed the duty of a doctor to treat diseases and save people, but Wang Xiujuan in ancient times was not a doctor, just an ordinary old lady, an old lady who just wanted to accompany her family and live a peaceful life.

The two talked for a while, and suddenly footsteps sounded outside the door again, "Ah! Mother-in-law woke up? Great, mother-in-law, you wait, I'll bring you porridge." Li Dafeng's babbling voice sounded.

Before Wang Xiujuan could say anything, Li Dafeng's voice disappeared at the door.

Ning Qingxi explained: "The whole city is panicked, everyone is not in the mood to do business, most of the shops are closed, and the second and third aunts are all at home."

"My father is watching the epidemic prevention strategy you have set, and there is no large-scale outbreak of illness today. General Chang has transferred a lot of troops from Taizhou Mansion to come over."

Ning Qingxi briefly recounted what happened that day.

After listening, Wang Xiujuan knew in her heart that everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Li Dafeng walked in with porridge, followed by Ning Lao Erning, Lao San's family.

"Mother, you're awake."

"Mother, you're finally awake."

"Great, fortunately, you're okay, mother, I know that my mother can't be fine."

Everyone gathered around Wang Xiujuan and said with concern.

Li Dafeng's eyebrows furrowed, put down the porridge, and waved his hand, "Go, go, my mother has just woken up, and you guys will be so noisy that it will affect your mother."

Everyone looked at Wang Xiujuan's face was not very good, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, but just looked at her with worried eyes.

Li Dafeng personally took the porridge, sat on the edge of the bed, scooped a little porridge with a spoon, and wanted to hand it to Wang Xiujuan to feed her.

Wang Xiujuan was a little embarrassed not to overdo it, "I'll come by myself, I'm just too tired, and I can't move my hands yet."

Li Dafeng saw that Wang Xiujuan could hold the bowl, so he smiled and put the bowl in her hand.

"Mother, eat slowly. Then I'll go out with everyone first, and then call me when you're done eating."

then took everyone out, leaving the space to Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan.

"Where's your father?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

"My father should still be busy, and there is such a big thing, and all the people in the county government have been summoned to Ximen. The second uncle and the third uncle are on the night shift, so they are free at home during the day."

"Enough masks? Do we still have alcohol?"

Wang Xiujuan asked worriedly while eating.
