The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 930 Infection



Chapter 930 Infection

He and Yan Xu looked up at the same time, looking at the face of Yushu Niang, who was wearing a mask.

The serious expressions of the two men frightened Elm Tree Mother so much that she temporarily suppressed her cough.

Old Zhuang asked somewhat anxiously.

When did you start coughing? Do you have any other symptoms?

Elm Tree Mother suddenly realized what was happening, and her face turned pale with fright.

"You mean I was infected too?"

No, that's impossible. I've always been very careful.

When I was taking care of her, I kept my face towel on very tightly the whole time!

Moreover, I don't have a fever right now.

This cough must be from catching a chill last night.

Yes, that must be it.

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, her emotions running high.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xu immediately drew his broadsword from his waist and threatened him in a cold voice.

"Stop right there! If you take another step, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Elm Tree Mother saw the gleaming broadsword, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

She wanted to say something in her defense, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a cough came out first.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xu confirmed that the person was indeed infected.

At this moment, the soldier who was in charge of driving the carriage also returned from relieving himself.

Seeing this stalemate from afar, he instinctively stopped.

Just as I was about to ask what had happened, I saw Elm Tree Mother cough again.

He heard a lot of coughing in the carriage while rushing to catch the train.

Almost the instant the coughing sound rang out, he instinctively took a few steps back, pointed at Elm Tree Mother, and shouted.

"You, you've been infected too!"

Oh no, this disease is so contagious, it must be a plague!

I'm not doing this job of driving the carriage anymore! I'm not doing it anymore!

As he spoke, he saw Yan Xu and, as if grasping at a lifeline, ran and shouted.

"Second Brother Yan, I'm quitting the job of driving the carriage. Here's your money back!"

When Yan Xu saw him running over, he turned the tip of his knife around and coldly stopped him.

In the camp, Bai Song also heard the commotion and ran over.

After briefly understanding the situation, he looked at the carriage with wariness in his eyes.

At the same time, I made up my mind.

Keep her in the hospital for two more days at most. If her condition doesn't improve after finishing the medication, then she needs to stay in the hospital for at most two more days.

Then he would have to consider settling the person in one place.

Taking them on the road again would be far too dangerous.

Bai Song calmed the soldier down with a few words and led Yan Xu back to the carriage.

He found an opportunity to talk to him about it privately.

Yan Xu's eyes flashed with reluctance, but he did not object.

When Old Man Zhuang returned, Lu Qingqing had already prepared breakfast.

In addition to reheating the dry food and cured meat, I also made a separate bowl of porridge.

Although the temperature isn't too cold now, they still feel the cold wind when they're rushing to catch the train.

Drinking some hot porridge in the morning will warm you up and make it less likely to get cold when you're rushing to catch a bus.

Given the current situation, after Lu Qingqing divided the food into bowls, the four of them ate in the carriage.

Outside the carriage, other families also kept a distance between themselves while eating.

An untimely cough broke the silence.

If it's just a cough or two, people will just assume it's from choking on food.

But the continuous coughing frightened everyone.

Bai Song peeked out of the carriage to check the situation, and when he saw that it was his soldiers, his expression immediately changed.

Seeing the man coughing, he quickly told the others to stay away from him.

Upon seeing this, the coughing soldier hurriedly reached out, trying to say that he was alright.

But the more he did this, the worse his coughing became.

The surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they ran more than ten meters away.

Just as Bai Song was about to say something, he heard coughing coming from the crowd again, and not just from one place.

The crowd erupted into chaos, everyone running far away, not even daring to approach the camp.

Bai Song watched this scene with a solemn expression.

He looked at the coughing soldiers and coaxed them to go to other positions first.

The soldiers were afraid and wanted to plead for mercy.

Seeing this, Bai Song coaxed and threatened the person who was coughing, and finally managed to settle the person in a separate place.

When this scene unfolded, everyone was terrified, fearing that they too would be infected.

Not only did they lose their appetite, they didn't even dare to go back to camp.

Seeing this, Yan Xu was worried that something might go wrong, so he looked at Bai Song.

Bai Song put down the dry rations in his hand, got off the vehicle, and called the soldiers who were still healthy to a distance away.

Because of the distance, the people at the camp couldn't hear what they were saying.

At this moment, between coughs, the sick soldier strained his ears to try and hear what was being said on the other end.

Problems also arose among the villagers at the very front of the camp.

Yushu's father and eldest brother have also started coughing.

Sun Laohai was quite a distance away, so he advised them to go to the back and travel alone.

But the two refused to agree and kept making excuses.

They knew in their hearts that once they got to the back, even if they weren't infected, they would still get infected.

Just like his mother (wife), a perfectly normal person in the past, she also got infected.

Those who go to the back are destined to be abandoned!

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Sun Dahai stepped forward.

Unlike his father, he didn't care about saving face or anything like that.

He then spoke with a stern face.

"Whether you have been infected or not, no one can say for sure right now."

However, if you have a cough, you cannot stay in the line for the time being.

You all heard what Boss Bai just said: there are absolutely no people coughing in the team.

If you refuse to go, I'll have to explain the situation to Boss Bai.

How he'll handle it then is hard to say!

When Elm Tree's father heard him threaten him like that, he was so angry that he pointed at his nose and was about to curse him.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, a cough came out before he spoke.

Moreover, once the cough starts, it just won't stop.

Upon hearing the coughing, Brother Yushu couldn't suppress it either and started coughing as well.

The two coughed harder and harder, as if they were coughing up their lungs.

This scene terrified the other villagers, who were even more unwilling to let them stay in the group.

Just as the stalemate was reaching its conclusion, Bai Song finished his conversation.

The atmosphere among the soldiers was noticeably less tense than before.

As Elm Tree Father watched Bai Song and the others walk back, he shrank back in fear.

Even after spending so much time with those soldiers, the villagers were still afraid of them.

Soon, seeing Bai Song and the others getting closer and closer, Yu Shu's father and elder brother also agreed to go to the back alone.

However, no matter what they said, they refused to go with Elm Tree Mother.

The Elm Tree Wife and Elm Tree Sister had no choice but to prepare a bundle for each of them.
