As soon as Feng Qingge, Leng Junyi, Xiao Liuyue and Xue Xichen entered the military camp, they saw Feng Bi coming towards them. Feng Bi saluted Feng Qingge and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Mo Kai has already met him when he came back.
Aunt Xue told me what happened. Aunt Xue said that the soldiers in the military camp were infected with pox, is this true?"
Feng Qingge nodded affirmatively, with a solemn expression, "It's absolutely true!"
Feng Bi's face suddenly changed and she said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Leng Junyi asked in a deep voice: "Feng Bi, have you ever understood what's going on?"
Feng Bi replied: "As soon as my subordinate came back, I heard Qing Tao say that some soldiers in the military camp had suffered from high fever in recent days. At first, the doctor treated them as a common cold. However, within two or three days, these soldiers began to have symptoms of high fever.
The rash gradually spread all over the body, and soon it turned into pustules. The doctor said that it may be infected with pox..."
Feng Qingge frowned and asked solemnly: "How to deal with it?"
Feng Bi said: "Zu Hai has ordered these soldiers to be placed in isolation. All those who came into contact with them burned their clothes and sprinkled powdered medicine on them to bathe. However, I believe the prince has heard about the pox epidemic in the city. If
The acne is spreading, I'm afraid..."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates advocate killing them all!"
Lei Sheng came in a hurry. The iron-blooded man's eyes were red and he choked, "Although... these are good brothers who have been with us for many years, but... but... we must not let the epidemic spread!"
"Your Majesty!" Yun Yi arrived shortly after and said anxiously, "The first soldier infected with pox was discovered six days ago. According to the condition of smallpox, he had been infected at least ten days ago. We cannot confirm that in the army,
How many soldiers are infected with pox, how can we kill them all!"
Qing Tao heard the news and came over. He said: "The only solution now is to isolate all the soldiers. No one is allowed to come and go at will. After more than ten days, and it is confirmed that there is no pox infection, you can move around with confidence."
Lei Sheng asked coldly: "How can we isolate an army of three hundred thousand people one by one? Besides, someone has to bring them water and food to clean up the dirt. Soldiers also need to patrol the streets in the city, as well as those who died of pox.
The body also needs someone to deal with it...who will do all this?!"
Zu Hai came from the side and said: "More than ten years ago, pox swept Chechi Country, with a death toll of 85 million people. Chechi Country was almost destroyed because of this. Isolating and killing infected people was the only way at that time.
Methods to prevent the spread of pox. If the sick are left for treatment, they will inevitably have to take care of their daily lives. The result will be that the people taking care of them will be infected again. They will be treated again and infected again. In this vicious cycle, how many people will be left in our army in the end?
"
Yun Yi retorted, with a stern face, and spat out a few words from between his teeth, "If you give up these good brothers who share life and death, aren't you afraid of being infamed for the rest of your life?!"
"Letting all my brothers die and causing my army to suffer annihilation is not worthy of the brothers who died of the disease?!" Zu Hai said tit for tat, "If I have to choose, I, Zu Hai, would rather bear this infamy!"
"enough!"
Feng Qingge interrupted their argument coldly and turned to Xiao Liuyue, her brows furrowed into deep grooves, "Liuyue, as you can see..."
Xiao Liuyue frowned, but before she could answer, Xue Xichen raised a smile and whispered, "Brother, you are not immune, so you should stay and vaccinate those soldiers who have not yet been infected with smallpox. As for those who are infected,
Just let me go!”
"Xichen!"
Xiao Liuyue held Xue Xichen's arm, her face was as cold as water, as calm as a pool, and she was rare and solemn. Her clear eyes stared at Xue Xichen's eyes without blinking, and he asked seriously: "Are you sure you don't
Will something happen?"
"Yes! Why don't you believe me?"
She came from the 21st century. At that time, smallpox had long been extinct. New babies born every year needed to be vaccinated against pox, which is the dot-like scar on everyone’s arm. Therefore, she already had immunity and was absolutely immune.
You can get smallpox!
"Could it be that Grandma Xue had acne?"
Feng Bi looked Xue Xichen up and down, wondering what kind of beauty Xue Xichen looked like hidden under her heavy makeup. It is said that people who have had acne will be left with scars all over their body and bumpy faces.
, Could it be that Xue Xichen’s heavy makeup is just to cover up the acne scars on her face?
"Ah! Stop asking so many questions! All in all, I am 100% sure that I will never be infected with acne." Xue Xichen said calmly, "I am a person who cherishes life as much as gold, and there is nothing that I can be sure of.
, I won’t do it. Although my medical skills are not as good as those of my senior brother, and I only have half a bucket of water, at any rate, getting a pimple is still OK!”
Xiao Liuyue's eyes were fixed on her for a moment, and the sharpness in his eyes seemed to see through her body and her mind. "Xichen, I don't allow any accidents!"
Xue Xichen raised her face and smiled lightly, "There won't be any accidents. Liuyue, you know, Xue Xichen is most afraid of death! How could she make fun of her own life!"
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
After a long silence, Xiao Liuyue finally nodded in agreement, saying only four short words, "Be careful."
"I'll do the work, don't worry!"
Xue Xichen pretended to smile casually, turned around and waved to Feng Bi, "Feng Bi, take me to the tent where you isolate the sick soldiers."
"this……"
Feng Bi hesitated and raised his head to ask for Feng Qingge's opinion. Feng Qingge's expression was cold and her eyes were dark, as if falling into the abyss. He was silent for a long time and nodded imperceptibly.
With Feng Qingge's consent, Feng Bi said to Xue Xichen: "Aunt Xue, please come with me!"
…
Xue Xichen followed Feng Bi to a few simple brick and tile houses away from the military camp. Feng Bi stopped in front of the brick and tile house and looked sideways at Xue Xichen. Xue Xichen asked: "Is it right here?"
"right here."
"Okay! You don't have to accompany me anymore!"
Feng Bi was surprised, "Aunt Xue wants to go in by herself?"
Xue Xichen replied calmly: "You have no immunity. If you go in, you will die. Don't worry, I will be fine!"
After that, she left Feng Bi behind and pushed open the rotten wooden door of the brick building alone.
On the floor, the figure groaned in pain, and the face exposed under the quilt was strangely red. Red rashes swelled up, and in the skin under the rashes, there were huge abscesses, one after another, which was very scary.
Looking around, there are dozens of people in the room, and everyone's face is covered with abscesses. In the room, various unpleasant smells are mixed together, making people feel nauseous.
I had only read about it in books before, but I didn't want to see it actually be so scary. Xue Xichen couldn't help but shudder and stroked the goosebumps on her arms.
If she wasn't worried about Xiao Liuyue's safety, she would never want to wade into this muddy water. It's not that she has no sympathy, it's just that she has seen too many life and death in her life, and there are countless dead souls under her hands. She is not a sympathetic person
A common woman, she didn't know whether it was better for these people to survive with scars all over their bodies, or to die happily like this.
If it were her, who loved beauty as much as her life, she would definitely choose the latter!
So, at that time she would...
Thinking of this, Xue Xichen's mood couldn't help but dim.
That’s it! The matter has come to this, it’s useless to think too much, it’s better to vaccinate these people quickly!
