The old man is the old man in the village, and he is highly respected and has great authority in the village. He is not very clear about the name Li Su, but the old man's words made the Wang brothers change their faces.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with my brother? The third or fourth?" Wang Bao's face turned red quickly with anxiety.
Nowadays, medicine has fallen behind, and if you want to cure minor illnesses and pains, you have to rely on decoctions and half of them to depend on the will of God. The Wang brothers must be anxious.
"The third brother, I'm so burning, and I'm still getting red. I'm sick in the afternoon. The two cowards won't go back to see you." The old man was angry that he didn't fight and slapped the Wang brothers twice.
Wang Zong and Wang Zhi did not resist. Old Man Ren was so excited that he stomped his feet hard, and he didn't bother to say hello to Li Su, and ran away.
The old man stared at Li Su with a bad look. Li Su smiled dryly at him and hurriedly saluted: "This... grandpa, boy, go and have a look, say goodbye."
"Get out! Three bad guys."
…………
Running all the way, Li Su came to the Wang family with a strong breath, but found that the Wang family yard was full of people. Many villagers came, and everyone showed fear on their faces, and they pointed carefully at the Wang family yard.
Li Su's heart sank.
With so many people coming, they all showed this expression. The third son of the Wang family is probably not as simple as having a fever or a cold.
Several strong men from the village stood side by side outside the yard, separating the Wang family's yard from the onlookers. An old man with a cane kept waving his hands at the onlookers incredibly.
"Santhem, all the same! What's the best thing about it? Be careful if you get sick, do you want the whole village to die?"
The onlookers became more and more frightened, and the crowd took several steps back.
Wang Bao and Wang Zhi arrived home first than Li Su, but were held back by someone at this moment. The two brothers struggled constantly to rush into the house, but were stopped by the old man with a crutch.
"Will you go in and look for death? Stay outside honestly and leave a seed for your Wang family."
Wang Zong stared at the old man with red eyes and cried, "What's wrong with my parents? What's wrong with my brother?"
The old man hesitated for a while, then swept the crowd around him and said slowly: "Your brother has dyed smallpox..."
Wow!
The onlookers suddenly stepped back several feet, and a few timid aunts immediately opened their mouths and howled. After a few howls, they were slapped by their own men.
The old man looked at Wang Zong with a gloomy face. He didn't know whether to explain to the two brothers or the whole village, and then said, "This morning, your mother took your third brother to visit Niutou Village next door. When you came back in the afternoon, your brother was wrong. He had a fever all over and had red spots on his face. Just now, news came from Niutou Village that more than 20 people in their village had smallpox, and your brother was afraid he would have been infected too..."
Wang Zong and Wang Zhi burst into tears and their struggle became more and more intense. Wang Zong yelled in a hoarse voice: "Where is my father? Where is my mother? Where is the fourth child? Dad, mother--"
A depressed male voice came from the Wang family's house: "Don't howl, eldest brother, second brother, please stay away from home, smallpox is a life. Your mother has met the third brother, I have touched your mother, and the third brother teased the fourth brother again after returning home. All four of us may be sick and cannot go out to harm the villagers. You are fine. Fortunately, you are playing outside in the afternoon. Listen to Grandpa Zhao, don't go back to this home. You can't go back. Leave a seed for our Wang family. Let's leave the village today to join your uncle and live a good life in the future..."
"Dad, mom--" The Wang brothers cried and used all their strength to break free and rushed into the house. The old man named Zhao was furious and swept over with a cane, staggering the two brothers, and said angrily: "Tie these two cowards!"
Wang Zong and Wang Zhi were quickly tied up and cried continuously. Old man Zhao turned around and shouted at the Wang family house: "You are the leader of the Wang family, you are Gao Yi, you will not harm the villagers. The villagers will remember your great kindness. From now on, your house will be passed on to the two brothers. If the weather is not good, each person in the village will bring the two brothers into adulthood. In the future, they will marry their wives and have children, and the villagers in the village will take care of them."
A choked voice came from the room: "Thank you for your kindness to Uncle Zhao and the villagers. My Wang family has taken it. The two kids in the family ask for the care of all the villagers. The kid is very naughty. He caused trouble next year and asked the villagers to take care of him and repay him for his cattle and horses in the next life."
Old Man Zhao had a gloomy face, sighed heavily, turned around and began to order.
"Call me and go to the county government office quickly. I told the officials that there was a plague in Niutou Village and Taiping Village. I asked the officials to send people to come quickly and go to Chang'an City to invite two doctors. To be honest, don't deceive me. Doctors come if they want to come, but don't want to come. Mo Qiang invites them. Also, the heads of each family have brought their wives and children back. No one is allowed to visit them. They dare to run around and get rid of them. They dare not to run around and get rid of them! Each family takes turns to arrange a few people to stay outside the Wang family courtyard. Who dares to get close to the death to get out of the dead."
The old man had a great reputation in the village. After saying that, the villagers beat and kicked their aunts and children back. Several others ran out of the village and headed for Jingyang County and Chang'an City respectively.
The two brothers Wang Zong and Wang Zhi were carried away, and the two brothers cried loudly. Until now, they could not believe that a poor but warm home was suddenly destroyed.
In the crowd of birds and beasts, Li Su stood motionless, quietly watching the separation of life and death that the humblest people in the world had just experienced, sighing, pity, fear, and sadness... In various expressions, the separation of the family has become a foregone conclusion.
The ear was pulled hard, and then the butt was kicked hard.
Li Su turned around and saw his father Li Dao staring at him fiercely.
"What are you doing when you are so stupid? Go home quickly and run around to break your legs!"
Li Su pointed to Wang Zong and Wang Zhi who were carried away: "The Wang brothers and the others..."
Li Daozheng had a gloomy face, looked up and sighed, "Brothers of the Wang family lived in your Grandpa Zhao's house first, and wait until the plague comes over. The Wang family... is ruined."
Turning his head and looking at the Wang family house again. He heard the faint crying sounds coming from inside. Li Daozheng's eyes were filled with a little pity, as if he was looking at a lonely grave.
***************************************************************
Disaster came without warning.
In less than five days, smallpox quickly infected five villages in Jingyang County and was on the rise.
The county magistrate was so anxious that he jumped to the court. While asking the doctor, he reported to the court that Jingyang County was only more than 60 miles away from Chang'an City. The news of the plague was scattered, and the people of the 108 fangs of Chang'an Capital were all in panic. The court moved quickly. An imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Office ordered two Imperial Medical Office to lead more than 40 doctors from the Imperial Medical Office to go out of the city with a full cart of medicinal materials. At the same time, Jinwu Guard also sent a general to lead the troops out of the city, isolating the villages in Jingyang County and prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving.
What is more terrible than plague is panic and rumors, which are more devastating than disease.
The villagers in Jingyang County were scared and took their families to escape outside the village. They didn't care where they fled. The important thing was to leave their devilish hell-like hometown and save the lives of the whole family, even if they were refugees and beggars.
The entrance of the village was firmly guarded by the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard. The villagers wanted to go out and it was not working. The general who led the troops ordered the stick to drive away the villagers with tears. The county magistrate knelt behind the soldiers, kowtowed to the villagers while crying, and asked the villagers to guard their own homes and not to make the plague spread more and more.
Painful, touching, sad, and helpless scenes are happening outside the capital of Chang'an. Disasters are like mirrors under the sun, illuminating the hearts of people.
