Chapter 88 Blood Test
After rushing out of the intersection, Hu Dahai did not go far.
He was lurking in the nearby woods, preparing to pick up Shen Wan, but he saw Sun being killed.
As an official, he had the responsibility to protect his fugitives, but this time he did not.
This woman always loved to stir up trouble, but now that she is dead, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Scarface was not there and the other officers didn't know the way very well, it was at their urging that Hu Dahai led everyone to a safe area.
Shen Wan just said “hmm” without much expression on her face.
"The villagers said there's a Black Wind Village nearby, do you know about it?" she asked calmly.
Hu Dahai frowned and said, "I've heard that it's a bandit's den."
"But the situation in Niujia Village is special now, so we have no choice but to take that route."
"By the way, we stopped at Niujia Village. Will there be any problems?"
Although he was brave, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought of the old man's face covered with pus-filled sores.
Shen Wan smiled and said, “That’s the second thing I wanted to say.
"Brother, gather everyone here immediately so I can do a blood test."
Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai immediately called all the fugitives over.
"I don't want her to be checked." Dengtuzi's mother saw this and immediately said, "This woman has been in the village the longest, so she is the most likely to be infected with the virus."
"If we let her get checked, she might infect us with the virus!"
Although the other exiles did not dare to speak directly, they also found various excuses to shirk responsibility.
"I'm far away from that old man, so I should be fine."
"Then I'm even fine. I'm still standing at the end of the line."
Seeing that they were determined to do so, Shen Wan smiled coldly: “I know what you are worried about.”
"How about this, I'm going to go to the woods and stay away from you guys."
"Let Xie Murong and Big Girl take your blood, and then have them give it to me. Is that okay?"
Since she left the team, Xie Murong and others have not had any contact with her, so this arrangement is appropriate.
The prisoners thought about it and agreed. After all, they also wanted to know whether they were infected.
So, Shen Wan told Xie Murong and Da Niuniang the precautions for blood collection, and handed them a bag of silver needles and several small bottles.
Both of them are very smart and can understand things quickly and become proficient in it soon.
Seeing this, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai drove the carriage into the woods and stopped in an open area.
"Just keep an eye on me outside," she said calmly. "If anyone comes later, don't let them disturb me."
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, just nodded.
"So good!" Shen Wan touched his head and smiled mischievously, "I'll treat you to some candy when I'm done!"
Xie Mubai's face darkened.
This girl, doesn’t he know that a man’s head is like a woman’s waist, and that neither should be touched casually?
Shen Wan didn't notice anything unusual about him, she just carried him out of the car and stayed inside.
Soon, Xie Murong came over to deliver the first batch of blood samples.
Each blood sample was marked with the names of the prisoners, and each time Xie Mubai took it and handed it to Shen Wan.
After doing this several times, Xie Murong became curious about Shen Wan in the carriage.
"I'll give it to Sister-in-law Wu this time," she said with a smile. "Honestly, I'd like to see how Sister-in-law Wu uses this blood to determine if it's infected."
As she spoke, she reached out to lift the curtain hanging on the car.
Xie Mubai's eyes turned cold: "Just try if you dare to move."
Xie Murong was startled when he heard the cold voice.
She had never seen a fifth brother who was like the devil in this way.
"Here...all for you..." Her face turned pale and she handed the blood sample in her hand tremblingly.
Xie Mubai took it and said coldly, "Go."
After Xie Murong heard this, he stumbled away.
After she left, Xie Mubai handed the blood sample in.
He sat outside the car, listening to everything inside.
The carriage was quiet, without any sound.
If I'm not mistaken, when the curtain is lifted, there will be no one inside.
But he didn't move.
The clown girl asked him to guard her simply because she believed in herself.
Soon, the results of more than one hundred blood samples came out.
When she saw the test results of the top criminal, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Sure enough, the thing I was most worried about happened.
Shen Wan thought about it, then left the space and found Hu Dahai.
She pointed at Dengtu Ziniang and said in a low voice, "She has been infected with the virus. Although it's very mild and not yet contagious, she is too old. I'm afraid her body can't handle it."
When Hu Dahai heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
The presence of an infected person in the team is definitely not a good thing.
Just because it’s not contagious now doesn’t mean it won’t be contagious in the future!
He looked gloomily at the old woman and said, "Come out and stay away from everyone!"
"Why me?" Dengtu Zi's mother looked surprised.
She didn't understand, but everyone else understood the underlying meaning behind these words.
They covered their mouths and noses and kept their distance from the woman.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Dengtu Zi's mother came to her senses.
"Bitch, stop accusing me!" She pointed at Shen Wan's nose and cursed, "How could I have smallpox?"
"I know, you and the Sun family are in cahoots. My son was killed by you!"
Shen Wan was too lazy to pay attention to her.
She was tired after a day of work and had no energy to argue.
"What are you going to do with her?" She looked up at Hu Dahai.
Hu Dahai didn't even think about it and said decisively: "Just leave her here."
Upon hearing this, Dengtu Zi's mother was so angry that she almost fainted.
There is no village or shop nearby. The only place close by is Niujia Village where we just escaped.
She would rather die than go to the village full of smallpox patients.
"No, I don't want to be here!" She quickly looked at her illegitimate sons, "I'm not sick, I want to be with my son!"
When the bastards heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.
"Mother, you better listen to the official!"
"Yeah, it's not good for your health if you force yourself to go on the road like this."
They were originally illegitimate children, and their stepmother didn't treat them well, so they wouldn't be stupid enough to continue traveling with her.
Listening to the cold and resolute words of the bastards, Dengtu Zi's mother felt as if her heart was wrapped in ice and was falling straight into the endless abyss.
Looking at her white hair, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel pity.
"The villagers of Niujia Village are fine now." She thought for a moment and said, "If you want, I can say hello to them for you."
"I'll leave you enough medicine. You're just infected now. As long as you take the medicine on time, you'll be fine soon. You won't even have a scar."
In fact, it’s not bad to stay in Niujia Village, at least I don’t have to travel long distances.
"If you want to keep me, you can stay. I won't stay anyway!" Dengtu Zi's mother sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wan stepped forward.
She bent down and said in a low voice, "Do you think it's okay to keep walking?"
"There's a bandit den ahead, and there's a poisonous forest further ahead."
"You've seen how many of us have died along the way, and we have no idea how many more will die on the road ahead."
"To be honest, of the prisoners exiled to the Greater Northwest in previous years, we were lucky if 60% of them could make it."
After hearing this, Dengtu Zi's mother fell silent.
After walking for these days, she was obviously exhausted and didn't know how much longer she could hold on.
Besides, those illegitimate sons were unreliable, and she didn't think she could count on them at the critical moment.
"Am I really infected?" she asked.
Shen Wan nodded.
