After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 46: Sequelae of Smallpox

　　The last ray of light sank into the sea level, and the old man led the people who went out back through the night.

Under the light of the torch, two old men in ragged clothes followed.

“Little brother, they are villagers from Jianzui Village. They want to trade vegetables and dried fish with us for some old clothes and food.”

Old man Tie saw Ziyu and others moving on the shore and walked quickly to the front road.

“Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in Jianzui Village. There are three families and not a single young person.”

 “Did they say what the reason was?”

Ziyu, who had nothing to do, drew pictures on rice paper and taught Xiaoluo how to play backgammon with grains of rice.

 “Thank you so much, sir, thank you so much, sir!”

 Let’s take a look at their respective strengths.

 Ships passing by will stop here to buy some food and fresh water.

“Uncle Tie, bring everyone in the village to the dock early tomorrow morning.

Wang Xingwang, who was at the same table as the Ziyu brothers, had the opportunity to ask what happened.

After further questioning, Ziyu found out that the oldest person in the village was the village chief.

My family runs a medical clinic and has some assets in Yundu City.

Ziyu’s half-truth and half-false words deeply touched Wang Xingwang.

 Attracted three children to gather together to watch the fun.

“Little brother, you are planning to buy those villagers. According to what the old man said just now, they are all people who have suffered from the plague.

They are old and weak and have no choice but to wait for death.

 The weak have no right to speak out in this world and can only be slaughtered by others. "

Old Man Iron nodded in agreement. He also encountered two plagues when he was wandering, but the earth escaped, so he was not so afraid of plagues.

 At night when the stars and the moon were just shining together, a gust of sea breeze blew.

 Only those with sufficient strength are qualified to get what they want.

 It seems that smallpox gives people the impression that it is as fierce as a tiger!

 “This is true, little brother understands medical science!”

 The weather in summer is like a child’s face, it changes at a moment’s notice.

 Because they are afraid of infection! "

Although the old man sympathizes with the plight of those people, he will not make decisions without authorization.

Less than twenty people survived, and twelve are still alive today.

　　We had no choice but to block the road to the outside. Although some people survived in the end, their way out was cut off from now on.

“Little brother, no!” Wang Xingwang stopped him.

 My face is the scar left by the plague at that time. "

Ziyu’s words made Wang Xingwang fall into deep thought.

“I’ve learned a lot from my father since I was a child, and now that I’m here, I’m not afraid to tell the truth to Brother Wang.

At that time, I thought that if I reported it to the government, I would get help, but I didn’t expect that they would burn the village.

The old man who was brushed by Ziyu lowered his head and took two steps back, not daring to look directly into Ziyu's eyes.

“Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. It’s not that they are not repaid, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

"Why don't you go out to find a way out from the sea? As long as you leave this area, there is a way to survive." "It's useless. The scars on our faces are the best proof.

The youngest is a twenty-eight-year-old woman, one of three women in the village.

 Five years ago, two overseas ships were stuck at the dock.

　No one anywhere will accept someone who has survived the plague.

 It is true that no ship has passed through Jianzui Village for too long, and even if there were ships passing by, they would not stop here.

Ziyu flicked her hands, and an unpleasant rancid smell came from the old man's body and rushed straight to her forehead, almost knocking her out.

“Someone set up a checkpoint at the intersection leading to the outside world, prohibiting the old, weak, sick and disabled in Jianzui Village from going out unless each person paid a toll of one hundred taels of silver.

 In the name of repairing the ship, all the young men in the village were tricked into boarding the ship and taken away.

 Little brother will definitely get what he wants! "

 The village chief lost his desire to live, and all the strength in his body was released, as if he would die in front of his eyes at any time.

Having caught up with the ancestors of beggars!

A group of unscrupulous thieves snatched away the young men in the village and left behind two white-skinned men who were about to die.

But he was framed by the powerful, and both his parents died.

 …

 Big waves on the sea surface came one after another, and ships could only temporarily dock at Jianzui Pier.

Those who are willing to sign the deed of sale will be taken away, and there will be no need to discuss anything else. "

Ziyu could tell at a glance what kind of disease the old man had, which was really shocking in the backward ancient times.

 What did the Jianzui Pier look like in the past?”

 The old man raised his face to Ziyu under the torch, his face was full of pits.

 The rain did not stop overnight, but tended to intensify.

Purple jade eyes flashed, and she turned to the old man who was getting off the boat with his things.

“Ten years ago, Jianzui Village was prosperous because of Jianzui Wharf.

Ziyu didn't expect that people who traveled all over the country would have such thoughts.

These three women enjoyed a life of polyandry prematurely, but due to poverty and disease, not a single newborn child was left in the village.

 Dark clouds covered the stars and the moon, and the two groups of people left in a hurry.

 It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone in this world. Xiao Luo is still young and can only take him to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. "

 If you ask the villagers about something, the old man will take care of it.

 Unexpectedly, those two people got the plague.

Ziyu saw two old men approaching. They looked haggard and their clothes were as torn as linen.

 “Young master, don’t come too close, I smell bad.”

The food in the cabin was fragrant, and the boatmen and Ziyu people mingled together to eat.

“Those are Buddhist deceptions. There are only a few evil people in the world who have been punished.

Huge raindrops fell on the deck, causing waves of rain and mist.

  【Sequelae of smallpox. 】

Xiao Luo and I were desperate. We wanted to seek refuge with relatives, but we were turned down.

This place is so poor that even pirates will not patronize it, let alone merchant ships.

　　The onlookers were so frightened that they retreated one after another.

 It will not be contagious in the future, but it will leave scars on the skin, making people mistakenly think it is contagious. "

 If you stay there for a long time, you can easily get infected, which can kill people. "

 Those were the two scourges. Most of the people left in the village died from the plague.

 “I dare to ask the old man how old he is!”

 

When the two old men heard Ziyu's words, they hurriedly bowed and thanked her.

“You don’t have to be polite, old man. When did this situation start for you?

This place has been abandoned by the local government, and these people have only a dead end. "

The half-short cuffs and trouser cuffs, and the invisible colored hemp threads are all exposed, and will break into strips with a little force.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own arrangements!" Ziyu waved her hand to signal Wang Xingwang not to speak.

“The little old man is 45 years old this year and is the head of Jianzui Village.”

 …

 I originally thought that the old people must be in the group of people in their sixties, but I didn't expect that the actual age was too far apart.

“I know, let’s get on the ship and give them our food at market price, and find a few sets of old clothes and two old quilts in exchange for them.”

“Brother Wang, you are a bit worried!

It is true that the people in Jianzui Village suffered from the plague. What they contracted was an infectious disease called smallpox.

　　The servants pursed their lips and snickered. In their opinion, the young master was an informal person.

There is also a little less fear of purple jade because of tying people up.
