"Your Majesty, our tribe is located by the sea. About a month ago, someone in our tribe found the wreckage of a broken ship on the beach. Next to the wreckage, we found an unconscious man, and our tribe rescued him."
The person had a strange hairstyle, wore loose and baggy clothes unlike those of the other countries in our Nine Provinces, was barefoot, and had a long, curved sword at his waist. After waking up, he spoke a strange language that no one could understand.
After some gesturing and communication, we learned that he came from a country on the other side of the sea called 'Yamatou Nokuni' and his name was 'Musaxi'. We didn't understand what it meant, so we just called him Musaxi.
After Musaxi woke up, he had nowhere to go, so he stayed in the tribe and helped with the work. He was quite diligent, and the tribe members gradually accepted him.
Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Musaxi started to have a high fever. The tribal shaman tried everything to treat him, but his high fever just wouldn't go down.
Three or four days after developing a high fever, Musaxi began to develop red rashes on his body, which then gradually turned into small blisters over the next two days.
It looked like he had been bitten by some poisonous insect, and the witch doctor applied herbal water to him, but it had no effect whatsoever.
About five days later, these small blisters turned into pustules, which felt hard to the touch, and the high temperature persisted.
A few days later, the pustules seemed to be getting better, but Musaxi started scratching his whole body frantically because of the itching. He broke all the pustules, and pus flowed all over his body, making him look extremely scary.
At this time, many people in our tribe also began to show the same symptoms as Musaxi, with fever and rashes appearing. Some of the weaker people died during the rash stage.
The shaman diagnosed Musaxi's illness as an epidemic, and now nearly half of the tribe has been infected, with many people dying.
Those who were not infected have been sent to a cave outside the tribe to prevent them from getting infected.
Even so, new people are still being infected every day. If this continues, our Frostmoon tribe will be wiped out. That's why we've come to beg Your Majesty to save our people.
At this point, Chief Hui Piao, with tears in her eyes, knelt down before King Bei Li and Lin Wanqing and kowtowed.
According to Chief Hui Piao's description, Lin Wanqing's face was growing paler and paler.
In her previous life, she was a nurse. After hearing the description from Chief Hui Piao, she immediately realized that the symptoms Chief Hui Piao was describing were actually smallpox!
As for the pronunciation of "Musashi," she remembered that there was a character in a game she played in her previous life whose name was pronounced the same, which was translated as "Musashi."
So, Japan also exists in this world?!
Lin Wanqing immediately took a step back and shouted, "Guards, lock up Chief Hui Piao! Make sure he doesn't come into contact with anyone, and absolutely no one is allowed to touch anything he's used!"
Chief Huipiao panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have not been infected, otherwise I would not have been able to come to Jingqiang for help."
The Northern King also noticed something was wrong from Lin Wanqing's expression. He knew that his queen was quite capable.
He hurriedly ordered his men to lock up Chief Hui Piao as Lin Wanqing had requested, then looked anxiously at Lin Wanqing, "Your Majesty, do you know what kind of plague this is? Is there any cure?"
Lin Wanqing looked at the Northern King, unable to hide the fear in her eyes.
Damn it!
Damn it!
This Hui Piao clan chief clearly came into contact with smallpox patients, yet she still came to the palace to harm her!
Smallpox virus can be transmitted through droplets.
Although Chief Hui Piao does not appear to be infected now, smallpox virus has an incubation period.
Fortunately, it takes ten days to travel from Shuangyue tribe to Jingqiang, and Chief Huipiao has not yet developed symptoms, so it is highly likely that he has not been infected with the smallpox virus.
Lin Wanqing was still worried, so she had him locked up and observed for a while longer.
If in another four or five days, at most ten days, Chief Hui Piao is still fine, it will prove that he has not been infected, and I will be safe.
Lin Wanqing then thought that the distance between Shuangyue Tribe and Jingqiang was neither too far nor too close. If the people from Shuangyue Tribe fled to Jingqiang and brought the smallpox virus with them, it would be a catastrophic disaster.
She still needs to rely on Bei Li to achieve her goals, and she can't let anything happen to Bei Li.
