Chapter 383: Precursors of Plague (2)
After hearing that Lao Li was seriously ill, the middle-aged man who was called Brother Huang immediately frowned and asked anxiously, "What did you say?" Lao Li is dying? ”
"Yes, Brother Huang, let's go and take a look, Lao Li is not the first, many people have fallen in the past few days, but they are not as serious as Lao Li!"
"Then you go and report to Lord Xu's camp, and I'll go see Lao Li!"
After this Huang brother finished speaking, he and the other man who was talking to him parted ways, leaving Xiaocao and Xu Yuan to stay where they were and look at each other in disbelief.
"Sister Xiaocao, what are they talking about? How can so many people suddenly get sick? ”
"It should be fine, it should be that everyone has been too tired to build a residence recently!"
"To get it done before the weather gets colder?!
"It should be, that's why so many people are tired and sick, Yuan'er, let's go find Ge Hong first!"
"Where to look? This camp is so big, so many people! ”
"Follow the person named Brother Huang, I think since Ge Hong is here, he should also go to investigate the condition!"
Xu Yuan saw that since Xiaocao said so, she didn't object, and she was also a little worried about this suddenly seriously ill Lao Li, although she didn't know who Lao Li was, but Xu Yuan was kind by nature, she really wanted to know what was going on!?
Xiaocao and Xu Yuan followed Brother Huang all the way to the vicinity of Lao Li's residence, and saw that in this settlement, there were still many houses that had not been built, and the place that seemed to be surrounded by many should be where Lao Li was!
Xiaocao and Xu Yuan did not step forward immediately, but circled around the crowd, and it was also a matter of luck that they happened to meet Ge Hong and Zu Daozhong, who had just come out of the crowd!
Zu Dao was sharp-eyed, saw Xu Yuan at a glance, and immediately said unhappily: "Yuan'er, what's the matter with you?" Didn't I ask someone to send you back? This is where you should be as a little girl? What if something happens?! ”
"Hmph, very heavy heavy brother, who told you that Miss Ben can't come back if she goes back?!"
Zu Daozhong saw that Xu Yuan also really liked it, but he didn't really care that she deliberately ridiculed her name in the sentence, but instead reached out dotingly and pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, then this will go back with the very heavy brother, there is an accident here, it's not good to stay for a long time!" ”
"Something's wrong? What's the matter!? ”
Zu Daozhong didn't answer Xu Yuan immediately, because he found that Xu Yuan also had a little girl with her hair and face covered, needless to say, she was the "famous" grass next to Xu Yuan!
"You're the grass?!"
"Slave and maid exactly! Xiaocao has seen the young general, and he has seen Lord Ge! ”
"Grass? You're here too? Ge Hong heard a familiar voice calling him, so he lowered his head and saw Xiaocao and Xu Yuan.
Ge Hong didn't know Xu Yuan, but Xiaocao, he remembered it deeply, this little girl who had been through hardships with her was still the same, with her hair covered in her face!
Xiaocao was about to thank Ge Hong for saving his life in the past, but he didn't want to, Ge Hong first said to Zu Daozhong: "Young General, let's go, it's really not appropriate to stay here for a long time!" ”
Zu Dao nodded again, bent down and picked up Xu Yuan, ready to take her with him.
Xiaocao didn't expect that Xu Yuan would like Zu Daozhong so much, and let Zu Daozhong hold him in her arms so obediently, this little girl is really likable.
"Xiaocao, let's go too, let's talk as we go!"
"No!"
Along the way, Ge Hong's face was not good-looking, and Zu Daozhong's expression was also very worried, so Xiaocao and Xu Yuan didn't speak, just looked at the two of them silently.
Finally, Zu Daozhong couldn't help but ask, "Lord Ge, do you want to talk to Lord Xu about this matter first?" ”
"I've already seen Master Xu when I went, and he already knows about this matter in the camp, so I think I should be on guard!"
"Then what does Lord Ge think about this!?"
"I checked the bodies of a few people, and I can't see anything for the time being, they are generally symptoms such as headache and brain fever, which are as serious as Lao Li's, but they are rare!"
"Is it the winter plague?" ("Trivia of Epidemic Identification": "Spring is called spring plague, summer is called time plague, autumn is called autumn plague, and winter is called winter plague.") ”)
"It's hard to say, Lao Li's neck is a little swollen, and his body is weak, so he hasn't carefully examined other parts of his body, but he hasn't found anything special!"
"Well, I've gone to see a few other illnesses that are mild, but they are just minor symptoms like a low-grade fever or cough, or maybe they're too tired from building a settlement recently."
"I hope it's not winter plague, if it's really winter plague, it will be troublesome, we lack medical treatment in our hands, and supplies are also very scarce...... Ay! This winter plague is actually a kind of typhoid fever, which will kill many people! ”
Hearing this, not only Zu Daozhong, but even Xu Yuan and Xiaocao became a little unnatural......
"Lord Ge, is it really that serious? Then whether you and I go directly to my father to talk about this matter, this is not a trivial matter, we must be prepared in advance! ”
When Ge Hong saw that Zu Daozhong attached so much importance to it, he immediately had a lot more affection for this young man!
Ge Hong nodded at Zu Dao and agreed: "Okay, let's go to General Zu now to talk about this matter!" ”
Zu Dao saw that Ge Hong also agreed with his opinion, and felt a little more settled in his heart, and then quickly put the little Xu Yuan he was holding in his hand on the ground, handed it to Xiaocao, and then said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, Yuan'er will be handed over to you, you take her back to the women's camp, Master Ge and I are going to report this matter to my father!" ”
"Slaves obey!"
Ge Hong and Zu Dao saw that Xiaocao had already agreed, so they changed direction and walked directly to the camp of the Wujiao Army.
And Xiaocao and Xu Yuan looked at Zu Daozhong and Ge Hong drifting away, and the mood of the two children became heavier and heavier!
"Sister Xiaocao, do you really think it will be a winter plague?"
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, General Zu is so good, he has taken in so many exiled people, if there is really a god, how can this kind of dirty thing happen in our camp?!"
When Xu Yuan saw Xiaocao say this, her heart calmed down a little, she looked at the sky again, and said, "Let's go and talk to my mother about this, Yuan'er is always not at ease!" ”
"Okay, let's go now!"
And just when Xu Yuan and Xiaocao were rushing to the women's camp to report to the Xu clan about what they had discovered in the people's camp, somewhere only about five days away from Tongguan, a team of people was hurrying from Chengguan City to the direction of Tongguan!
They are none other than Lao Cui and Hua Mei's team!
It is also a coincidence that the book is not written, and Lao Cui's men and horses met the one who Zu should have sent out to find them at this time!
