Chapter Ninety-Six: The Plague Rages

"Come on, what the hell do you want money from your grandmother?" Mo Xiaoxian broke the rhythm of the casserole and asked to the end.

Liu Xiu turned his heart sideways, rubbed his hands and said: "That, I just want to go to Lihua's house when I go back to Nanyang!

Mo Xiaoxian and the little ibis laughed when they heard it.

"Are you quite emotional? Don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in the master, and the gifts prepared by the time will definitely make your Lihua heartbeat for you, and completely bow down under your pomegranate skirt, haha!"

"!" Liu Xiu scolded with a smile: "My family Lihua is not the kind of person who admires wealth and wealth!"

"Yo! Yo, is it sour? Return your family Lihua, did she agree to marry you, or did she agree to elope with you, a poor boy?"

Liu Xiu said proudly: "Although I haven't yet, I am confident that I will touch her with my affection, and sooner or later she will agree!"

The little ibis raised his small fist on the side and said, "Come on, I'll support you!"

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and expressed her gratitude.

Mo Xiaoxian struck him and said, "Don't be scared! Don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue! Let me ask you, how long have you not seen her?"

Liu Xiu folded his fingers and calculated: "Three years, four months and sixteen days!"

"So long?" Mo Xiaoxian sighed, "It's over, it's over!"

Liu Xiu didn't know what Mo Xiaoxian meant, and asked, "What's over?"

Mo Xiaoxian helped him analyze seriously: "You don't have any alliances with others, why should people wait for you for so long? A woman is pregnant in October, and she can give birth to three and a half babies in more than three years!"

Liu Xiu's head was full of black lines, his green tendons were exposed, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Shut your stinky mouth!"

Mo Xiaoxian put his arm on his shoulder and grinned: "Don't be angry! I'm also reminding you, doesn't our ancestor still have a famous saying, as long as the hoe is waved well, there is no corner of the wall that can't be scraped, and with the master here, she has a baby, and she can help you pry it over!"

"Mo Xiaoxian, I'm fighting with you!"

The rampaging Liu Xiu had already lost his mind, and whether it was Mo Xiaoxian's opponent or not, he went up and grabbed and bitten, with a desperate posture.

Mo Xiaoxian screamed, ran away, and the two of them chased after me, and soon came to a small village.

"Brother Xiaoxian, don't make trouble with the two of you, this village is a little weird!" The little ibis who followed them entered the village and gradually noticed that something was wrong.

Mo Xiaoxian and Liu Xiu stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little ibis pointed to the closed doors of every house and said, "You see, there is no one on the streets in this village in broad daylight, and the doors are all closed!"

The little ibis didn't remind him, and Mo Xiaoxian and Liu Xiu didn't notice it when they were patronizing and playing.

"It's really strange, let's find a house to go in and have a look!"

Mo Xiaoxian took the lead and walked to the nearest house, knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, and was just about to forcibly break in, a young peasant woman staggered over and opened the door, and after seeing Mo Xiaoxian and the three of them, she asked with a blank face: "Is there anything wrong with you?"

Mo Xiaoxian was surprised to find that this peasant woman was only about thirty years old, but there was a dead air lingering between her eyebrows, and she was as thin as firewood, obviously dying soon.

"I'm passing by here, traveling a long way, and I want to beg for a bowl of water to drink, but I don't know if it's convenient?"

The peasant woman shook her head and flatly refused: "You better hurry to other places, don't stay here for long!"

After speaking, the peasant woman was about to close the door, Mo Xiaoxian blocked the door with her body and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have water to drink, I just want to ask what happened in the village?

The peasant woman didn't want to say anything, but she just drove Mo Xiaoxian and them away, but Mo Xiaoxian and the others had to ask what was going on, and seeing these people so entangled, she said with a little anger: "Our villagers here are all suffering from the plague, if you are not afraid of death, just continue to mess around here!"

"Plague?" Mo Xiaoxian and the others glanced at each other, although they had a premonition, they still felt incredible.

The peasant woman thought they were scared, sighed and was about to close the door again, Mo Xiaoxian hurriedly stopped: "Don't hide it from your sister-in-law, you know how to treat your sister-in-law, can you let you treat your sister-in-law?"

The peasant woman hesitated slightly, although she didn't believe Mo Xiaoxian and the others, but she still invited them into her home.

When they came to the house, Mo Xiaoxian and the others found that there was a five or six-year-old boy lying in the corner of the kang, his face was pale, as thin as a peasant woman, and his exposed skin showed red spots, and his condition was even worse than that of a peasant woman.

"It's a dog, and it's plague!" the peasant woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her tears had long since dried up.

After taking a seat on a bench, Mo Xiaoxian asked, "When did the plague start?"

The peasant woman seemed to be asked about her sadness, and sighed: "Just two months ago, for some reason, the people in the village were infected with a strange disease one after another, first dizziness, what to eat and vomit, at first everyone didn't take it seriously, half a month later, they were so hungry that only skin and bones remained, the whole body festered, and the most famous doctor in the nearby town was helpless, and soon all these sick villagers died, including my husband." Now we orphans and widows are suffering from the same strange disease, and now we are just waiting in vain to die!"

Mo Xiaoxian got up and carefully examined the child on the kang, and then checked the pulse of the peasant woman, secretly wondering in his heart, this is not like an ordinary plague, but more like a poison in the body.

"Dare to ask sister-in-law, who told you that this is the plague?"

The peasant woman thought for a while and said, "It was the people sent by the government who told us that they also cremated all the dead villagers, saying that it was to prevent the spread of the plague!"

"People from the government?" Mo Xiaoxian said strangely, "What did the doctor who treated you say?"

The peasant woman replied: "What else can I say, just tell us that they can't cure this disease and leave, and then when the people from the government came, they told everyone that the villagers were infected with the plague, and we were not allowed to leave the village, for fear of spreading it to other villages." ”

Seeing Mo Xiaoxian's solemn face, Liu Xiu asked eagerly, "How is it, can you cure it?"

The peasant woman is also very concerned about this issue, it is better to have hope than no hope, not to mention that she has a child, even if she exchanges her own life for the child's life, she is willing to exchange her own life.

"I don't dare to jump to conclusions now, as far as I know, the plague mostly occurs after natural and man-made disasters, but this village does not have this kind of experience, listening to my sister-in-law say that the villagers suddenly suffered from a strange disease, which is very strange!"

Liu Xiu said thoughtfully: "It's very strange! But since it is not caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, what could it be because?"

Mo Xiaoxian said in a shocking voice: "Someone should have deliberately poisoned it!"
