"Hurry up and leave, old man. If this is over, the people here will definitely come to arrest us."
“…”
The old man was just talking casually, but he didn't expect his wife to actually believe it.
"Alright, alright, stop believing everything I say every day. Why don't you pack up and leave?"
The wife also sighed, then packed up the little sugar figures on her stall and went back. The old man selling vegetables next to her also had sand on his vegetables.
I didn't know and thought it was dug out from the sand.
There are quite a few potholes on this vegetable. To be honest, if the wind blows, it will eventually be eaten by insects.
Look at this one.
It's all bumpy.
But what can be said and what cannot be said.
This weather is really sigh-worthy.
There's nothing I can do. I naturally have nothing to say about this kind of weather.
To be honest, the group that hurried back were the ones that were almost on the verge of collapse and were planning to withdraw from the east. Each of them had red faces and ears as if they had altitude sickness. No one knew what they had experienced at the border.
Don’t look at the people anymore, look at the old horse. It looks like it is in good condition, but in fact it is in even worse condition. You can tell from the horse’s roar that it is not in good condition.
I felt like there was something stuck in my throat and I was gasping for breath.
"Why don't you two old men go back quickly? Hurry up, and all the people nearby, go back quickly!"
"What do you mean by hurry back? We can still stay here for a while, in case someone else comes..."
Before he could finish his words, he almost couldn't help coughing, as if his throat was filled with scattered cotton.
I feel itchy when I talk, and when I feel itchy I want to cough, and when I cough I can't help it. After I finally hold it back, I can't help but take a deep breath of air, and then when I talk, the same thing happens again and again.
Repeat, repeat again.
Cough, cough again.
This disease is considered incurable at this time. Many people are unaware that they have been deceived by this disease that looks like pharyngitis. They are still coughing and even start coughing up blood.
Isn't it a manifestation of tuberculosis?
However, this disease was easily cured in the early stages, but this group of people were unaware of it when they coughed, and they always had a lucky mentality and were afraid of being isolated for treatment, which led to them directly developing tuberculosis.
Nothing can be done day after day.
This group of people didn't seek treatment in the first place in order to save money, but if they really collapsed and moved in, wouldn't they still have to spend money continuously? Let's not talk about anything else, just see who is willing to let themselves die.
Who can be willing to spend all the money they have earned in their lifetime?
During this struggle, the emperor also sent people to treat the disease. After all, the disease developed so quickly that doctors were mobilized to treat the disease as quickly as possible. As for the money for medicine, there was no need to worry.
And the one who returned at this time was Namo Bu.
He was pale and the horse under him was powerless. It had only run a short distance and it became like this. This horse was a rare Arabian horse, but now it was dying. If he was not sure, it might die on the spot.
After this person came in, he started coughing violently, and then he continued coughing when he left. His complexion finally regained a little redness because of the coughing, but the redness was not much and it was just okay.
In the end, his face turned pale again.
It looks just like a scary vampire, making people feel suffocated and scared. It's really incomprehensible.
"Did you encounter those vast expanses of yellow sand?"
"The yellow sand over there is much thicker and thicker than here. I'm afraid this side can't bear it. Besides, the soldiers are all pale and coughing."
cough?
"Not only is he coughing, but he's also showing symptoms like pale complexion, difficulty breathing, and weakness in his limbs. The military doctor almost said there's nothing he can do, so I, Your Majesty, can't do anything either."
"No matter how much you say, remember that if I don't summon you, you must not come back. Do you know how many people are watching this border guard covetously? If you leave..."
Zhao Xin could hardly imagine what the border was like today.
If you don't even intend to defend this border and start to retreat, what kind of prince are you? I appointed such a hereditary official in vain, but I didn't expect him to withdraw his troops.
"Your Majesty, don't worry or be anxious. I've already made some top-secret arrangements at the border. I'm afraid it might be difficult for that group of people to get through. Besides, I have my elite troops leading the team there, so they shouldn't make any mistakes."
"That's good. If that's the case...what's wrong with you?"
Before he could finish his words, he noticed that the man's face had turned pale, he was coughing all over, and he even collapsed with a thud. Isn't this the symptom of the middle stage of the disease with redness of the face...
Then Dongzheliu hurried over with a medicine box.
Following behind him was a group of veteran imperial physicians. They knew Dong Zheliu's abilities and had no intention of stealing his business, so they just planned to watch from the surrounding area.
"Come and take a look."
The man had been carried over safely, and Dong Zheliu suddenly put on his mask when he was testing it. The whole mask was really tight and there was no room for air leakage.
You're not afraid of suffocating to death, are you?
"Your Majesty... and all of you, please stay away from this thing. My goodness! I just realized this thing is actually contagious!"
"infect?"
The man lying on the bed with his limbs weak was even thinking about standing up and leaving, but was pushed onto the bed next to him by Dong Zheliu.
"Why did you suddenly stand up? Are you planning to leave right away? Do you really want to run away?"
"I... ahem... that's not what I meant... the main thing is to avoid infecting His Majesty... after all, His Majesty is usually in charge of these matters... ahem."
If we talk about this person's intentions, he is indeed kind. He intends to leave quickly and not let the emperor and the others get sick. But the point that makes people complain is...
It's a bit unkind of you to come back and infect others when you already know you are sick.
"Stop coughing, and start holding your breath now, then breathing in and out. Let me hear your voice."
Namo Bu endured the coughing sound very seriously and also endured the dry and itchy throat to breathe, although he really couldn't bear it or it was very painful.
But he was also very glad that this prison-like feeling could end so early. As long as he could feel comfortable for a while, just for a while.
Then close your eyes.
"Keep him awake and don't let him sleep. It feels like there's something like cotton wool stuck in his throat. It must be because of the strong wind."
