Something happened! Tang Shiyue suddenly woke up, got off the bed and walked out.
Ding Jiu had just released the eagle used for communication and was startled by the sound. He pressed the soft sword at his waist with one hand and flashed out like a fly.
Tang Shiyue had already opened the door. The people outside the door kept kowtowing and crying hoarsely: "Empress Fu, save me! Save me! Save our Dongzi!"
She was dishevelled and Tang Shiyue didn't recognize her at first. After taking a closer look, he was surprised: "Second Aunt?"
This turned out to be Tang Dongzi’s mother.
Tang Shiyue was stunned and asked, "What happened?"
She looked around and saw that the villagers who had just gathered around were also very confused. Tang Shiyue said, "Second Aunt, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, just tell me."
Dong Zi's mother just kept kowtowing. Seeing that she was crying like crazy, Tang Shiyue stepped forward and wanted to help her up: "Aunt, you get up first..."
I had already stretched out my hand when I heard someone shout, "Don't touch her!"
Tang Shiyue looked up in surprise. It was Tang Shijin. He said anxiously, "She has smallpox! Smallpox! Tang Dongzi has smallpox! Give it to her!"
...
...
smallpox!
Dongzi's mother's crying suddenly stopped, and everyone screamed at the same time, and suddenly there was a large empty space.
Tang Shiyue's expression remained calm, and asked, "How did you know?"
Tang Shijin said in a trembling voice: "I...I usually study in Potou, which is very close to their home. At first I only heard that Dongzi had a fever, and then I heard that Second Aunt also had a fever, and then I heard them shouting that they had blisters this morning..."
This may not be true.
Tang Shiyue recalled his sneaky figure before.
But she had no time to think about it at the moment!
She quickly glanced at Dong Zi's mother and said, "Is it true? Auntie! Is it smallpox?"
Dong Zi's mother raised her head suddenly, her face full of panic.
Suddenly someone exclaimed and pointed at her. Sure enough, there were pustules all over her face!
Everyone shouted again and their faces changed color.
Behind him, Ding Jiu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Tang Shiyue's arm: "Master Tang, I will take you away immediately!"
Tang Shiyue shook his hand off, "I won't leave!"
She said to Dongzi's mother, "Don't be afraid! Take me there first, I need to ask Dongzi!"
Someone screamed, "Master Tang! This is smallpox!"
"When smallpox comes, the whole city will be covered with corpses!"
"Burn, burn! Burn them all quickly! Otherwise we will all die!"
"Shut up!" Tang Shiyue shouted, "Who are you burning? I saw Dongzi playing with a group of kids the day before yesterday. Aren't you afraid that your own children have already died?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Tang Dongzi is smart to begin with. After following Tang Shiyue for a while, he has gained a lot of experience and a good temper. The half-grown children in the village like to play with him the most. It is the busy farming season these days, so there is a group of them playing around every day.
Someone immediately sat down on the ground: "We, our Erlang played with him..."
"He came to see our Gui'er the other day..."
She suddenly burst into tears.
"Why are you crying!" Tang Shiyue shouted again: "Don't panic! Uncle Tang Qi,"
She called someone at random: "Go and inform the clan leader first, Chen Dalang, go and call the village head, Chen San, go and call the village doctor. Everyone else who has children at home, go home and check if your children have a fever, check their whole body, and check if they have rashes or chickenpox! Those who don't have children, hurry up and inform the whole village! Finally, you also hurry back to the martial arts hall to check, and inform Mr. Xia and A Yu! Now! Immediately! Hurry!!"
"And you, Second Aunt," she dragged Dongzi's mother up from the ground, "Stand up straight for me, take me to find Dongzi now!"
Ding Jiu suddenly took a step forward.
He came here nominally to protect Tang Shiyue, so his first reaction just now was to take her away.
But in fact, his real, or main purpose, is to monitor her and see what she does. So, should he sit back and watch what she will do, what she can do, and how she does it?
He didn't expect that he would have to face such a difficult decision after only being here for a few days!
However, seeing her calm and composed as she gave orders, he did not dare to interrupt for a moment!
In this era, people's reliance on gods is infinite. In front of the smallpox that everyone is afraid of, they actually managed to stay calm because of Tang Shiyue's orders. They ran like flying, some went home, some called for help.
Tang Shiyue has never been a reckless person.
She looked unconcerned, but in fact she was holding Dong Zi's mother's hand through her sleeve.
Smallpox is transmitted through inhalation and direct contact, but it is not necessarily contagious. Most importantly, she cannot stay out of it at this time! She is gambling! Gambling on her luck!
But her attitude did give Dong Zi's mother great courage. She broke free from her hand and stumbled to the front.
At Dongzi's house, several people were in the yard, as if they were going to carry Dongzi away. When Tang Shiyue walked in, everyone was shocked.
Seeing that Tang Dongzi was still conscious, Tang Shiyue called him, "Dongzi!"
Tang Dongzi was startled. When he saw her, he immediately turned over and knelt down, crying: "Master Tang..."
Tang Shiyue said: "I'm asking you a question, answer it quickly! Where did you go before you had a fever?"
Tang Dongzi calmed down anxiously and said, "I worked in the lantern shop in town for a few days, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I came back."
"After you felt sick, who did you stay with?"
"Xiaogui and Tongzi from the village...many people have lived together..."
Tang Shiyue asked a few more questions. At this time, someone came over here crying, holding a half-grown child in his arms. He knelt on the ground as soon as he arrived, crying so hard that he couldn't raise his head: "Empress Fu! Our Erlang also..."
Things are serious.
Tang Shiyue suddenly clenched her teeth.
It was as if a hand was grasping her heart. Her whole body tensed up, but her mind was clearer than ever.
She stood up straight and spoke clearly, "Ding Jiu, please go to the county government office and tell the county magistrate what happened today. Ask him to send someone to check Lantern Square to prevent the spread of the epidemic. Then you guys don't have to come back. Come back after this."
Ding Jiu froze suddenly and looked at her in astonishment.
But she didn't even look at him, and continued to instruct: "Finally, you should go to the town and find Shen Qian to see if he can find a way to invite Mr. Su Ji, or ask him to help find another doctor."
She turned around and looked for him. "Uncle Tang? Tang Yi! As I recall, your house is a single-family home, quite far from other people. Go home and pack your things immediately. Leave everything except the clothes you carry with you. I will come back and give you a new house and belongings."
"Aunt, take Dongzi with you, Aunt Liu, take Erlang with you, and all the children with fever in the village, along with their sleeping blankets, gather over there first."
"Doctor Chen, please come with me and check on the children. If you have medicine at home, feel free to use it. If you don't have any, I'll ask Ren Dong to buy it for you, and I'll pay for it all."
"Also, if you all had acne in your youth, come and tell me..."
The panicked crowd quickly calmed down after hearing her calm and clear instructions, and then each of them got busy following her orders. The old clan leader and the head of the village hurried over and quickly made arrangements.
In the midst of this chaos, the sound of horse hooves approached, and someone asked in surprise: "Ayue, what happened?"
Amid the devastation, Young Master Meng's face was as bright as the moon in the sky.
But no matter how good-looking it is, he showed up at such a bad time! He just came to cause trouble!
