Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan came to Cao Pi's mansion and met Cao Pi, but before treating Cao Pi, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to talk to Cao Pi...
When Cao Pi heard that he was saved, he quickly thanked Ma Xiaoquan profusely.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "I save your life, and I hope to get a promise from you! Little Cao, I wonder what you think?"
Cao Pi coughed a few times and said slowly: "Don't worry, Lord Shangxian, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it!"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "I have been traveling in this world for some years. Here, I have also established a family of my own. However, although I do not participate in the disputes in the world, I do not want my own family.
Children are being bullied..."
Cao Pi reacted quickly and interjected: "Please rest assured, Lord Shangxian, I can protect your family!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "You? Why do you do that?"
Cao Pi's face was already ugly, but being choked by Ma Xiaoquan made it even worse.
"Hey! Yes, why should I?"
Ma Xiaoquan patted the back of Cao Pi's hand and said hehe: "You don't have to blame yourself. Things in this world have their own destiny. If it's yours, it must be yours. If it's not yours, you can't force it.
.Little Xiao Cao, in a few years, I will return to the fairy world. At that time, no matter how good you are, please protect my family and my children."
Ma Xiaoquan changed his last word of address from "I" to "I". Of course, Cao Pi could understand the purpose of the entrustment by Master Shangxian.
"Master Shangxian, please rest assured. I, Cao Pi, swear to God that if I ever neglect Master Shangxian's family, I, Cao Pi, will strike with five thunderbolts..."
Modern people don't care about poisonous oaths, but ancient people cared about it very much.
Cao Pi was able to express his position immediately after Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, which made Ma Xiaoquan very relieved.
Ma Xiaoquan will not grow old, die, or get sick. During this time, Ma Xiaoquan has been thinking about a question: What if one day, everyone around him will slowly grow old and die, but he is still young and healthy
If he is alive, then what is his purpose in living in this world?
Ma Xiaoquan thought of many ways to die, but Yuan's words completely shattered Ma Xiaoquan's thoughts.
Yuan said: Starve to death? It's impossible. If you are hungry to a certain extent, I will immediately activate the dust seal to temporarily freeze your physical energy at a certain stage. In this case, even if you don't eat or drink water, you won't be able to survive.
Have any questions.
Ma Xiaoquan thought about suffocating himself to death again.
Yuan added: Want to suffocate yourself to death? That's impossible. Although you can't breathe underwater, I can protect you immediately after entering the water...
All in all, as long as Ma Xiaoquan has the idea of committing suicide, the source of time in the body will immediately take preventive measures. After all, the source is in Ma Xiaoquan's body. If Ma Xiaoquan really dies, the source of time, which has just become conscious, will also die.
Although after re-finding the host body, the source will be resurrected again after a few years, but the source at that time will not be the source now.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, smiled, and nodded: "Okay, with your words, I am satisfied. Come on, stretch out your arms!"
Cao Pi hummed and slowly stretched out his arm.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched his sleeves, took out the prepared push needle from the small package, and then covered it with his sleeve. Ma Xiaoquan slowly moved to Cao Pi's arm, felt for the vein, and Ma Xiaoquan plunged it in without politeness.
.
Originally, the injection should be done on the buttocks, after all, there are very few nerves there, but as a modern person, Ma Xiaoquan is very concerned about these things.
Ma Xiaoquan also thought about inserting a needle into Cao Pi's butt, but as soon as he thought of the story of "picking up soap", Ma Xiaoquan immediately changed his mind.
"Hissing" the needle entered his body, and Cao Pi suddenly felt unbearable pain.
Looking up, Master Shangxian looked serious. Cao Pi did not dare to say anything, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Fortunately, the injection didn't take long. After just a few breaths, Cao Pi felt his arms loosen up.
Pulling his arm back to take a look, he found a small pinprick on the skin.
"Press the bloody eye tightly, otherwise it won't bleed!"
Cao Pi nodded and quickly pressed the eye of the needle with his hand.
Ma Xiaoquan stood up, holding the used needle in his hand, and as soon as he concentrated, he was immediately burned completely by the red lotus fire.
Cao Pi was very curious, but what Master Shangxian did just now was too hidden. Apart from the pain, Cao Pi didn't know what Master Shangxian did.
"Okay, have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan grabbed the small package and turned away.
...
Looking at the disappearing figure of Master Shangxian, Cao Pi had many questions in his heart, but...
...
Three more days passed. During these three days, several more patients suddenly broke out among the people who had been quarantined before.
As for Cao Pi, because Master Shangxian came to "treat" his illness every day, his condition gradually stabilized and he basically recovered.
Compared to Master Shangxian, Cao Pi was much more decisive and brutal. For those who were sick, whether they were servants or concubines, Cao Pi ordered people to set fire to the house directly. Although the method was very cruel, it effectively prevented the illness.
spread.
only......
As the saying goes, there can be no fire without wind, so tuberculosis can only break out unless there is a source of infection. Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, so why did tuberculosis break out only in the Ma Family Courtyard in such a large area as Yecheng?
.
"Could it be..." Ma Xiaoquan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
After unfolding the few remaining special drugs such as penicillin and cephalosporins, Ma Xiaoquan called Yuan and asked: "Yuan, do you think Cao Pi and my wife really have tuberculosis?"
In his left eye, Yuan thought for a moment and then said: "According to past circumstances, the onset of tuberculosis should not be that fast. So, to be precise, your wife and Cao Pi may have had a disease similar to tuberculosis before!"
"What kind of disease is this? Is there such a disease?" Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised.
Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Of course, it's just that you don't understand medicine."
"Then there must be a source of infection for such a disease, and it cannot appear out of thin air, right?"
"I'm afraid this matter is a bit strange..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I have to investigate this matter carefully!"
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan quickly called his apprentice Mao Gang over and gave detailed instructions.
After Mao Gang received the order, he immediately started investigating.
only......
Late at night, Mao Gang called Ding Yi.
Mao Gang said: "Ding Yi, he said that Ma Xiaoquan asked me to investigate his condition. It seems that this matter aroused his suspicion."
Ding Yi said respectfully: "Master, no matter what, it is all Mr. Lu's fault. He is a little anxious."
Mao Gang snorted coldly and thought to himself: Well, Mr. Lu, you almost made my Huayue heart leave me by some unknown means. Huh, you did too much in this matter.
Mao Gang said: "Go down and negotiate with Lu Xian. I want to meet him!"
