His previous guess was correct. The sudden blood disease in the town had some connection with the medical clinic in the city. It seemed as if he had figured it out completely.
"Someone deliberately spread the blood disease! And then used the antidote to make a profit!"
Xia He subconsciously rushed out, wanting to inform the town government about this!
But when he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped!
Most of the refugees in the town were of low status and were under the jurisdiction of the military forces within the vassal states.
It has been more than a few months since the blood disease appeared, and the price of the antidote has been rising again and again. How could those people in the military station not know about it?
In addition, the ruffians I met by chance at Li Huiying's house before may be related to the casino in the town.
"It's possible that Song Bao's brother-in-law, the owner of the casino, was behind this!"
"Someone in the military must be protecting this matter!"
Anyway, those who died were all insignificant poor people, and not many people would care.
Thinking of this, Xia He felt a chill in his heart.
"These beasts..."
If he really went to the government office to report this matter, not only would his blood disease not be resolved, but he would also be in danger of being killed.
Moreover, his idea of joining the army would also be ruined. Although Zhou Bo was optimistic about him, they were not close friends, so he would definitely not be able to protect him. Besides, Zhou Bo was just an ordinary soldier...
Human nature, Xia He doesn't dare to gamble!
"If you have a powerful background, why do you have to be so timid?"
Xia He clenched his fists and returned to the yard.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to rescue the people in the city, but he really doesn’t have the ability to do so!
"You must practice martial arts and become a warrior!"
Only by becoming a warrior, getting rid of the status of a slave, and becoming a military household, can your words carry weight!
He must climb up, because this is the only hope of survival in this troubled world!
When those people want to deal with him again, they should think carefully about whether it will result in a few broken teeth!
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I must join the army!"
Although the antidote has been developed, it can only be used on our family members first.
The next day.
The rooster crows.
Xia He climbed out of the bed immediately.
Before leaving, he told his wife,
"Lan'er, you don't need to work in other people's mansions anymore. Just stay at home and give me a big fat boy someday."
Li Huilan blushed and said a few words coquettishly.
Seeing that look made Xia He feel hot again, and full of love in his heart.
But there is still important business to be done and we can't delay.
"Give this medicine to my sister's family later, and tell them not to buy medicine from the clinic anymore. But don't tell anyone."
Xia He has not only developed an antidote, but has also removed the toxic "Aconitum" from it.
The medicine my daughter-in-law took to my sister's house is just a few pills. She won't need to take more in the future and will recover soon.
"Brother He, please come back early. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Xia He smiled slightly, walked over and kissed his wife, and seeing her blushing shyly, he carried a few pounds of cooked snake meat out of the door, ready to eat while walking.
The city remained the same, as if nothing had changed.
The morning sun shines on the streets.
"Hey, it seems like a lot of people are joining the army?"
Xia He saw many people carrying large and small bags and walking towards the military camp, both young and old.
Although joining the army is very dangerous as it requires fighting on the battlefield, it provides food to eat and the opportunity to practice martial arts, so many people want to pursue a career like him.
But the military camp never keeps idle people, Xia He had thought about this secretly a long time ago.
This time the general relaxed the restrictions on recruiting soldiers and also gave them the opportunity to learn martial arts. This must be because the pressure from the barbarians on the border was too great.
In recent years, even if there were no barbarians in the various vassal states, there would be frictions and conflicts between them, and countless people had died.
"Stop making noise! Everyone who is coming, please line up and stand!"
When Xia He arrived at the recruitment site, he heard a young man in armor scolding with a cold face. The others immediately dared not say a word.
He had been planning to queue up obediently, but he didn't expect to see Uncle Zhou.
"You don't have to line up with the others, just follow me."
Zhou Bo waved his hand and directly moved a mule cart to take her out of the city: "I will take you directly to the guard post. You killed that giant python. Many people in the barracks have heard of you, haha!"
Many people around looked over with surprise and envy.
Xia He touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to keep a low profile.
But Uncle Zhou’s voice is really too loud, so it seems that there is no such opportunity.
The town where Xia He lives belongs to Youzhou. There are nine guards outside the city. The tens of thousands of troops claimed to be strong include the military slaves. The total number of main military households should be several thousand.
Although these military households were all managed by the chief military governors of the vassal states, they were not the real main force.
The guards were only the foundation. The elite troops that could really resist the southern barbarians were the four guard warrior battalions under the Jiedushi. This was the fundamental reason why the southern barbarians did not dare to invade easily.
If you can join the Warrior Camp, that would be a real chance to rise to prominence, with very generous treatment and the opportunity to become a general.
Xia He finally understood after learning about these.
Although the country he is currently in is called Daqin, it is completely different from the Daqin in his impression.
Many systems are more like a mixture of multiple ancient countries. The most important thing is that people here can practice and become warriors.
Perhaps it is because of the existence of these warriors that the Qin Dynasty was able to exist for hundreds of years?
After learning so much information from Zhou Bo, Xia He nodded while digesting it.
