Chapter 32: Malaria
[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you share it on Facebook]
“What!”
Seeing Li Guo’s flustered look, Qin Hao had a bad idea: Zhuge Xuancai and Li Guo had just gone to Pingyuan Village to deal with a dispute, and now he was the only one back to report the news. Could it be that something happened in the village?
"What happened?"
Zhuge Xuan is his think tank, and most of the political affairs are handled by him now. If he has an accident, Qin Hao dare not imagine what the consequences will be. In an instant, cold sweat soaked his clothes on his back. After calming down a little, he restrained and asked: "Is Zhuge Xuan in trouble?"
Li Guo was stunned when he heard this, knowing that he had made Qin Hao misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Zhuge is fine, but there is a problem with the newly resettled households in Pingyuan Village."
Hearing that Zhuge Xuan was fine, Qin Hao's heart was half relaxed, and he asked: "What happened to the households?"
Only hearing Li Guo tremblingly said two words, Qin Hao's heart, which had just been relieved, rushed to his throat, and it was almost about to jump out.
What! Malaria!
"How can I get this disease?" After knowing the news, Qin Hao paced back and forth in the lobby anxiously, and lost his mind for a while.
My head was confused, and I didn't know what to do!
Malaria is a disease that many people in many places will get even in the 21st century with advanced medical technology. It is mainly transmitted through mosquito bites, flies and other insects.
If it were still that century, as long as you had money to buy some anti-malaria medicine, you could take a few days off after taking it and you would be cured.
But now it is the Ming Dynasty, the 17th century, where can you get the medicine and how can you treat it.
Moreover, malaria can be transmitted to people, and it is highly contagious. Most of the plagues in ancient times are actually this disease. One person spreads to ten, ten to a hundred, and if you want to infect a large area, there will be no treatment.
Qin Hao dared not imagine such a scene. His career has just started, and he can't interrupt it directly.
"Quick! Go and see!" Qin Hao anxiously shouted to the guards to prepare the horses. The most important thing now is to confirm whether it really happened.
Taking the reins handed over by the guards, Qin Hao flipped sideways and jumped on the horse's back. Without waiting for others, he galloped towards Zhulin Village quickly.
The journey was originally a quarter of an hour, but there was no interest in strolling leisurely in the past few days. This time, it took only half the time to see the plain village.
At this time, the outside was surrounded. Qin Hao looked carefully and saw that it was Li Yi's new army. After getting off the horse, he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Yi wiped the sweat and shook his head. He was not very clear. He just received the transfer order from Lord Zhuge and rushed here in a hurry. He blocked the exits of the village according to the order and did not let any villagers come out.
A moment later, a Shuntian death soldier trotted out. Qin Hao hurriedly waved to call him over and asked: "Where is Zhuge Xuan?"
"Your Highness, Lord Zhuge is in the village now."
"What, who let him in." Qin Hao was furious, "Is he going to die? I'm so angry."
Qin Hao is a good man but not a saint!
In his heart, even if this village is destroyed, or even all the households under his rule are not infected, it is not as important as the arrival of Zhuge Xuan.
By then, it would probably be just a matter of moving to another place to carry out his hegemony, but this man couldn't make any mistakes.
"Take him out quickly!" Qin Hao ordered hurriedly, he didn't want Zhuge Xuan to die here.
"Yes!"
"Wait, take me with you!" Qin Hao suddenly changed his mind, he didn't know why Zhuge Xuan risked his life to go in, and he hadn't arranged for someone to stop him from going in, there was something fishy.
"Your Highness, you can't!" Now Li Yi was anxious, and hurriedly pulled Qin Hao to dissuade him.
He also knew what was going on at this time, it was malaria. He couldn't help but think of the experience at the beginning, someone in the village near them had this disease, and then the government burned them all to death without distinguishing right from wrong, but they didn't know what kind of patient they were.
"Shut up!" Qin Hao glared at Li Yi fiercely and scolded him, "Now do what Lord Zhuge has given you, don't ask or care about anything else.
Without my order, if any villagers dare to come out privately, they will be strangled immediately, and no one will be allowed to go in again. This is the general's order, do you understand!"
"Yes!" Li Yi's eyes were red, and he choked as if he was parting with his life and death.
Qin Hao ignored him and drove into the village with Shuntian's death soldiers.
Li Yi looked at the voice of His Highness gradually fading away, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He silently said, "Goddess Mazu, please bless His Highness to come back safely."
"Cheer up! Don't let anyone out!" Wiping away his tears, Li Yi reorganized his mentality and urged the new recruits.
At this time, Chen Hu and Li Guocai rode a slow horse and came late.
Chen Hu dismounted and saw only Li Yi and the soldiers, but not His Highness. He dismounted and asked, "Where is His Highness?"
"Inside." Li Yi pointed to the village.
"Where is Lord Zhuge?"
"Also inside."
"You idiot!" Upon hearing that both of them had entered the village, Chen Hu's face flushed. He grabbed Li Yi's collar and said angrily, "Don't you know what malaria is? Why didn't you stop them? Have you forgotten the miserable state of the village?"
"No!" Li Yi shook his head desperately. He would never forget the rising flames, gray smoke, and the inhumane screams in his life.
"Then why did you stop His Highness!"
Chen Hu grabbed Li Yi's collar tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe and his face flushed.
Li Guo hurried over, slapped Chen Hu's hand, and advised: "Chen Hu, loosen up quickly, Li Yi is going to be squeezed to death by you."
Hearing this, Chen Hu glanced at Li Yi's face and knew that he had used too much strength. He wanted to loosen up, but he was angry, so he threw him to the ground.
Seeing this, several new soldiers next to him wanted to catch Chen Hu. They were not from Honghui Village and had never seen Chen Hu.
They only knew that this person was a little dangerous and might rush into the village, so they wanted to catch him, but Li Yi on the ground hurriedly stopped them.
"Step back, this is Lord Chen Hu, and he will not easily violate the order of His Highness."
"Your Highness, what is the order?"
"No one is allowed to enter or leave the village without the order of His Highness." Li Yi slowly got up, dusted off the dust on his body, and stood at the entrance of the village and said.
"Alas" Chen Hu sat on the ground, turned his head, and sighed repeatedly.
His Highness was his hope. He wanted to rush in and pull him back, but the order had been issued. Chen Hu knew Qin Hao's attitude and would not disobey the order even if he died.
"Don't worry, Your Highness and Lord Zhuge are blessed with great fortune. This little malaria will not be a problem for them."
Li Guo tried to smooth things over and advised, "It's not like no one has recovered before. Think about the magical methods of Your Highness, and you will be fine."
