212. Smallpox in Ba County(1/2)
A few days later, the group finally arrived in Kuizhou Road.
Zhao Dongting experienced the magnificence of ancient landscapes on the way, and Jun Tianfang's injuries gradually improved.
It was just because Yunjin and Wu Amiao had neither practiced internal skills, and Jun Tianfang was injured again, and his speed on the road became slower and slower.
After a month, I finally arrived at Ba County, which is close to Chongqing Prefecture.
Although the war in Chongqing was over at this time, it was still desolate. Outside Ba County, the mountain villages were abandoned and even the city walls had collapsed a lot.
Jun Tianfang led the horse with four people, Zhao Dongting walked in front and walked into Ba County.
Most of the people I saw along the way had dull expressions and bitter faces. Moreover, I only saw more than ten people in the entire Ba County town for hundreds of meters.
On both sides of the road, inns and shops are mostly closed, and even the Rangers can't see many.
Occasionally, someone looked at Zhao Dongting and others, all with strange looks.
This made Zhao Dongting sigh at the cruelty of the war, and he couldn't help but feel something was wrong. It was obviously the same for Jun Tian and the others.
It was not until I walked into the depths of the city that I finally met the inn that opened.
Dr. Tea leaned against a rag on the door.
When he saw Zhao Dongting and others walking over, he didn't ask whether they were playing the lead or staying in a hotel, but hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at Zhao Dongting and others.
After more than ten seconds, he breathed a little relieved and asked, "How many customers are staying in the hotel?"
Zhao Dongting and others tied their horses to the stable outside the inn and walked to the entrance. Zhao Dongting asked, "Dr. Tea, why is it strange in the entire Ba County?"
Dr. Tea looked frightened, "I'm sure the guest officials said that the surrounding counties are suffering from smallpox now!"
"smallpox!"
Jun Tianfang, Le Wuchen and others all changed slightly.
In this era, smallpox is incurable. As long as you get infected, you will be helpless even if you are a peerless master in the world.
Although smallpox may not be fatal, even if it is lucky enough to heal, it will leave pimples on the face.
Wu Amiao was not afraid and was careless, "No matter what kind of flowers he had, I would like to bring you good wine and food first."
As he said that, he smiled and looked back at Zhao Dongting, "Brother Dongting, will you treat him?"
Zhao Dongting laughed, walked to the store, and said, "I know you are a pauper, I won't invite you, can you please?"
Wu Amiao laughed.
That night, several people stayed in the inn.
However, when he was about to leave the next day, Wu Amiao, who had been getting up very early, had not seen him get up for a long time.
Zhao Dongting went to Wu Amiao's room to look for him, but saw Wu Amiao lying on the bed and moaning, with turbid vomit on the ground.
When Wu Amiao saw him, he immediately said, "Don't come over, I may have been infected with cholepox."
His face was full of bitterness, but he still forced himself to show a smile to Zhao Dongting.
Wu Amiao, who is not afraid of smallpox, is infected with smallpox.
Zhao Dongting didn't expect this to happen. He didn't know where Wu Amiao was infected, but after being stunned, he still walked towards him.
Wu Amiao said: "Brother Dongting, do you treat me as a friend?"
Zhao Dongting stopped more than two meters in front of his bed, "Of course you are friends."
Over the past month, the two have gone down the river to fish and go up the mountain to chase rabbits. Although Wu Amiao does not know Zhao Dongting's identity and Zhao Dongting does not know Wu Amiao's past, the two are truly friends. People who meet each other are always easy to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Wu Amiao smiled bitterly, "If I die, can you help me bring my ashes back to Wujia Village?"
Zhao Dongting was silent, and then suddenly said, "You are waiting for me here."
After saying that, he ran downstairs to the inn.
Jun Tianfang, Le Wuchen and Yunjin were already waiting for Zhao Dongting. When he saw him coming down, Yunjin asked, "Where is Wu Amiao?"
Zhao Dongting looked a little solemn, "He has smallpox."
"ah!"
Yunjin covered her mouth, her appearance was fading.
When Dr. Tea heard this, he looked like a slight face and shouted, "Heaven, smallpox? Is your companion suffering from smallpox?"
He scratched his head in a hurry, "What's this? What's this?"
As he said that, he ran to the back of the inn.
Soon, the inn owner, who was not dressed in a mess, ran out of it and muttered: "It would be better if I had known it would have been better if I hadn't opened the door."
When he walked to Zhao Dongting and others, he said bluntly: "You guys, you have to take your companions away."
Zhao Dongting said coldly: "Who said we are leaving?"
The cold eyes pulled the shopkeeper back several steps.
He collapsed to the ground and cried, "Didn't it harm our whole family if you leave people with smallpox in my store?"
Zhao Dongting ignored him and said to Jun Tianfang and Yunjin: "Senior Jun, Yunjin, you two stay here, don't let Wu Amiao have anything to do."
He was worried that they would all leave, so the shopkeeper would drive Wu Amiao out directly.
"Need not."
At this time, Wu Amiao's weak voice came from the stairs, "You go, just wait until I die, come and collect my body."
He was an extremely optimistic person, but he was not optimistic at this time.
The shopkeeper and Dr. Cha were like seeing a ghost, hurriedly hid far away, and waved to Wu Amiao, "Don't come over, don't come over."
Zhao Dongting's cold eyes stabbed the two of them again, and then said to Wu Amiao: "You go to the room and lie down. Smallpox is not bound to die. You still owe my big meal, so you can't die so easily."
As he said that, he asked Dr. Tea again, "Is there anyone nearby who raises cattle?"
When Dr. Tea saw that several people were swordsmen, he didn't want to mess with him but didn't dare not mess with him, he replied: "Yes, yes. What are you asking about this?"
Zhao Dongting said: "Take me there."
Smallpox has long been completely eliminated in modern society, but he remembered that he had read it online that cowpox can prevent smallpox. Wu Amiao had just started to develop the disease at this time, and maybe he was saved. Whether smallpox will die is related to human immunity. Many people are still alive after suffering from smallpox.
Dr. Tea looked at the sword behind Le Wuxuan and stood up reluctantly.
Later, Zhao Dongting and Le Wuchen, led by Dr. Cha, went to various parts of the city to knock on the door.
Jun Tianfang and Yunjin stayed in the inn and watched the shopkeeper to prevent him from throwing Wu Amiao out.
But they didn't know what Zhao Dongting went to find Niu to do.
On the empty streets of Ba County, Dr. Cha's face was shattered. They had just knocked on several doors, but the people inside didn't even open the door.
The smallpox is rampant, and everyone is in danger.
After finally someone opened the door and went to see the cow inside, Zhao Dongting just shook his head and sighed.
This made Dr. Cha very angry. If he knew how to fight, he would definitely have to remove this strange guy from all over the place.
Fortunately, many people raise cattle these days, and Dr. Cha is familiar with this area. After seeing more than ten families, Zhao Dongting finally found the cow he wanted.
At this time, they stood in front of the cowshed, and there were two cows inside. The breasts of one of them had already ulcerated.
Zhao Dongting showed joy and said, "It's this cow. Master, can I buy this cow?"
The owner of the household thought for a moment and offered a price slightly higher than the market price.
Zhao Dongting said nothing, gave money, and asked Dr. Tea to lead the cow away.
When he went outside, Dr. Cha couldn't help but ask, "Customer, what do you want this cow to do?"
Zhao Dongting said: "Treat smallpox."
Dr. Tea and Le Wuquan were both surprised, "Can cattle cure smallpox?"
Zhao Dongting didn't say much, but returned to the inn, used his sword to scrape off some pus from the place where the cow's breasts were ulcerated, and ran upstairs.
Wu Amiao lay on the bed, his face full of melancholy, and muttered, "It seems that I will never be the number one swordsman in my life."
Seeing Zhao Dongting open the door and come in again, he said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here again? Go out quickly, the smallpox is so confusing!"
Zhao Dongting didn't speak and walked up to him with a sword.
Wu Amiao was shocked, "Brother, you are going to kill me now?"
"Get out of here."
Zhao Dongting said angrily: "I'm risking my life to treat you."
As he said that, he grabbed Wu Amiao's hand and then slashed a sword on his arm.
Wu Amiao exclaimed in pain.
Zhao Dongting wiped the pus from the sword on his wound again.
Wu Amiao shrugged his nose, "What's the thing? It's so smelly."
Zhao Dongting said: "Don't worry, your smallpox symptoms should worsen sharply in the past few days. Just rest here."
