Everyone set out on the road again, but because of the dead soldiers, it was not as easy as before. The remaining seven guards were three in front and four in back, with Mu Lingxue in the middle. Because they came across the trade routes between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, they encountered
There were also more people.
Most of them were business people, and many of the caravans were resting on the roadside. Mu Lingxue and the others looked like a rich lady, but there was no convoy accompanying them, and they often looked at her with side eyes.
Because they were in a hurry and on the road, the few of them could only eat the dry food they brought with them. It was better when Longhu was there. After all, he could catch some prey. He left early. For safety, several guards did not leave Mu Lingxue.
around.
After walking like this for two days, nothing happened. On the third day, before I even got close, I could hear bursts of wailing in front of me. Several guards immediately tensed up and put their hands on the swords at their waists.
, alert to the surroundings.
Mu Lingxue looked serious, "Go to the front and have a look."
This voice sounded like it was made when a person was in pain. In her previous life, she was a top student in medical school and often traveled among patients. She often heard this voice.
Several guards followed closely. Among the group, only Mu Lingyun's pace slowed down. Lu'er glanced at her, lowered his eyes, missed her, and strode forward to follow her.
After pushing aside the grass, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw dozens of people lying on the grass. The wailing sound came from their mouths. There were men and women in this group, and some even more.
The old and young women continued to look closely, and when they saw clearly the red blisters on their faces and arms that covered their bodies, everyone took a cold breath.
"It's smallpox." Mu Lingyun was the last to come up, but the first to exhale in horror. He instinctively jumped a few steps behind him, his face turned pale.
She still remembered that smallpox broke out in the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that year. Many people died at that time, and no one could cure it. Finally, the emperor issued an order to drive all those who had smallpox to a mountain in the capital to fend for themselves.
In that year, many families in the capital were destroyed, and the people's resentment became even louder. However, the emperor suppressed it with force, so how could ordinary people resist?
Lu'er also changed her face. She also remembered what happened in the capital that year. At that time, a servant who was a buyer in the mansion also fell ill. Her aunt immediately handed over the servant, and even the people who had been in contact with the servant
They and their families were handed over. Although those people were not infected with smallpox, they were regarded as smallpox carriers and were directly driven out of the capital. Together with those who were infected with smallpox, they were sent to the mountains to fend for themselves.
"Master" and several guards stopped in front.
This smallpox is not a trivial matter. After such cholera is spread, there is no way to cure the disease. If something goes wrong with the princess, how will they explain it to the prince?
Cui Hao rarely had a look of forbidding on his face.
Mu Lingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, with a slight smile on her lips, "No problem, I'll go over and take a look."
With the patient's heart in it, more of the fighting power in facing challenges is aroused.
It was difficult for the guards to stop him. What was the difference in status? Cui Hao's eyes lit up after hearing this. He was so powerful and kind-hearted. How could he be following the wrong person?
Although Lu'er is worried about her master, she will never oppose her master's decision.
"Are you crazy? That's smallpox, it's contagious. If you don't want to live, we don't want to die." Mu Lingyun was the first to jump out.
This woman is getting more and more wrong, she shouldn't be like this, she should hide behind people when something happens and cry helplessly, but now everything has changed.
Before, she could be regarded as being in the palace, using the power of the princess to suppress others, but now? She knew it was smallpox, but she still went there? Who did she think she was? A miracle doctor? If you want to stand out, you shouldn't be in this kind of place
when.
"Mu Lingxue, your superior status can give you everything, but it can't give you life. Have you forgotten why you came out this time? Your father is still waiting for you. Is it possible that in your eyes, these people are more important than your father?
Is it important? Do you want to be an unfilial daughter? When you and your wife were let go, you already had the reputation of being unfilial. I think this is not a mistake for you. You'd better recognize it clearly. What you should do now
What is it?" Mu Lingyun said a lot without giving any face.
When the eldest brother gave the mother and daughter the gold medal for forcing her to die, everyone in the capital secretly felt that she was unfilial and greedy for life and afraid of death. Therefore, the good reputation of the most talented woman was also hidden, and her reputation became less and less.
good.
Mu Lingxue didn't know this, and if she did, she wouldn't care. After all, she was no longer the real Mu Lingxue.
Everyone else looked at Mu Lingyun. Although they felt that they should not go there because the smallpox was contagious after all, they were not as selfish as the woman in front of them. She only cared about her own life and death, and shamelessly blamed others for their faults.
Originally, they looked down on this second young lady along the way, and only thought that they were superior, but who was she? She was just the daughter of a guilty minister, and she escaped secretly. If the princess hadn't been kind-hearted, who would have cared about her if it were someone else?
Her life and death.
She didn't have the slightest intention of dying, but she always targeted the princess everywhere, and even said a lot of humiliating words to the princess. She really thought that someone owed her something. Everyone looked at Mu Lingyun with more and more disgust.
It's not that Mu Lingyun couldn't feel it. She didn't care where she was wrong. She blamed Mu Lingxue for everything. If it weren't for her, how could these people see her like this? Everything was her fault.
"You can go first without coming with us. You know the way, right?" She didn't deserve to talk nonsense or argue with such a person.
This kind of indifferent attitude made Mu Lingyun furious, but she couldn't do anything. She didn't like this feeling. Yes, this woman used to bow her head and act small in front of her. She was aloof and ignored her.
She even enjoyed her helplessness, but everything changed, making her want to get sick.
No, she has to endure it. After a long time, she will be on top of this woman again, and everything she did today will definitely make this woman pay her back.
While Mu Lingyun was secretly resenting here, Mu Lingxue had already walked towards the group of helpless people lying on the ground. She squatted down next to the person closest to her, stretched out her hand to pick up the woman's hand, and looked at the skin carefully.
With the ancient technology, smallpox could not be cured. However, these people in front of them did not get smallpox, but water beans. Mu Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief.
Although water beans are not as good as smallpox, the prognosis of chickenpox is generally good. Most of the scabs fall off without scars, but when the acne rash penetrates deep into the skin and there is secondary infection, shallow scars may be left, usually on the forehead and face, in an oval shape. Severe cases
Chickenpox or severe encephalitis or pneumonia can lead to death.
Glancing at the people lying on the ground, many of them couldn't help itching and scratched their bodies vigorously, which made Mu Lingxue's heart ache. "Come here, let's see where there is a water source nearby?"
At the same time, he told Cui Hao, "This is water beans, not smallpox. Avoid scratching the herpes with your hands: pay special attention not to scratch the facial herpes to prevent the herpes from getting infected by scratching. If the lesions are deep, they may leave scars."
Go look around and find some herbal medicine to reduce fever. The most important thing is to let them bring down the fever. Clothes and quilts should not be too thick, too tight or too hot. Sweating will make the rash itchy. Lu'er,
Go and open everyone's clothes. Remember to be careful not to let your hands touch the herpes on their bodies, especially the liquid. Tell them to endure it as much as possible and not to scratch it. If they scratch it, their appearance will be disfigured.
Wherever the fluid from herpes goes, it will be spread."
When she said this, everyone had a direction in their hearts. More importantly, they no longer had to worry. Fortunately, it was not smallpox.
Mu Lingxue then ordered the remaining guards to tie up the children's hands. The adults couldn't help scratching them, let alone them, so they could only tie them up forcefully.
The guard who was looking for water soon came back, "Master, there happens to be a creek behind the woods. People passing by nearby mistakenly thought it was smallpox, so they all took a detour and walked to the other side of the creek."
Mu Lingxue nodded, "Since we are close, let everyone get up, and those who can walk walk to the stream by themselves, and tell them to wash themselves with more water and not to use too much force. Be careful to break the herpes. We will arrange it later."
Yes, you take two people to hunt some prey and come back."
Looking at the clothes of these people in such tatters, I guess they all come from poor families. They have water beans, and the most important thing is to have good physical strength. These people are so thin that they look like they haven't eaten for several days.
The guards retreated in response. Some of the people lying on the ground slowly sat up after hearing the guards' words. They all thought they had smallpox and were rushed here to die by the officers and soldiers. Now they saw someone coming to save them.
How could they not be excited, and they didn't care too much, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
Mu Lingxue's nose felt sore. This era where human lives are not regarded as ants is really chilling.
The injured mostly walked to the creek, and some crawled when they couldn't walk. The children were all followed Mu Lingxue's idea, using two thick branches and their robes blocked between the branches to make simple stretchers.
The children were carried one by one to the creek.
There were originally merchants passing by the creek. After seeing a group of people with smallpox washing themselves by the creek, they were horrified and immediately left with their heads hanging. Mu Lingxue watched everything coldly, but Cui Hao came back soon.
There is a bunch of herbs in the bamboo basket behind me, including jute and silver sage, which are all good medicines.
Because I was outside, I could only find a big stone by the stream, pound the herbs with branches, and give the soup to everyone who got the water beans to drink.
Mu Lingyun was originally far away, but when he saw everyone doing everything in an orderly manner, he bit his lips and sat down not far from the stream. With Mu Lingxue's guidance, he took a bath with water to cool down.
, the itching pain was much lessened, and with the hope of rescue, the adults endured the itching and were even able to help and look after the children together.
I just felt that I had been working hard for a while, but when I looked at the sunset in the west, it was almost dark. Unknowingly, it took a whole day. Mu Lingxue looked up at the setting sun and showed a wise smile.
