When Lou Xiaoyi got up from the bed, he felt that his waist and back were aching.
This could be the aftereffects of coming back from the sand kiln, or was it because he read the secret books that his mother gave him last night?
This shouldn't be the case. Haste makes waste. Such a simple logic wasn't hard to understand.
After putting on his clothes, he was still a little cold. There was something flowing down his nose, and his throat was a little tight. As he thought of this, he couldn't help but cough a few times.
He had caught a cold.
His mood hadn't been very good recently. Eight of his friends had gone to the sand kiln to explore. In the end, two of them had left, and two of them were lying down. Everyone was grounded at home, and no one could go out. Perhaps because of this, his mood was a little low, and he fell ill.
At this time, it should be time for him to pay his respects to his mother, but he chose not to go.
In this world, it was unfilial to not pay respects to his mother because of a small illness. However, he was a soul that had transmigrated, and he had his own views on hygiene. Compared to infecting his family with a cold, paying respects to his mother wasn't a big deal.
What happened next was, of course, a series of stories in the big house. His mother and Aunt Cai came to visit him, the only child. Even if he had made a huge mistake and caused a huge disaster, the only child was still the only child.
They were about to call for a doctor, but Lou Xiaoyi stopped them. This kind of small illness was nothing to him, and it would pass in two days. For him, who was in the prime of his life, his body was in its best condition. What illness did he have to call for a doctor immediately?
But this time, there was a problem with his judgment. He hadn't recovered from his cold for a few days, and he started to have a high fever. His whole body was cold and shivering.
He had reached the point where he had no choice but to call for a doctor.
After more than ten days, he didn't know if it was because of the doctor's brilliant methods, or because his body's resistance was strong, but he got through it and slowly got better. He could walk on the ground and eat some light food.
But an even bigger problem began to appear. A large number of people in Lou Province fell ill, and their symptoms were exactly the same as Lou Xiaoyi's. Including the two old madams.
Lou Xiaoyi realized the seriousness of the problem, but he couldn't do anything about it. He didn't have an official position, and he hadn't really entered the path of cultivation. He was just a good-for-nothing with a bad reputation.
Could it be a rather serious flu?
This was also the doctor's opinion. However, in all his years of medical practice, he had never seen an influenza spread so quickly. Of course, they were not called influenza, but epidemic!
Even the doctor was not spared. Furthermore, as time passed, patients with the same symptoms began to appear sporadically in Lou Province's neighboring markets, shops, and pharmacies!
The few old doctors in Pu City came to a conclusion and finally confirmed that this was an epidemic. It was spreading rapidly, and there were already cases of people dying from it!
"Don't go out, the door is closed! The money was sent in through the people outside!
Maintain ventilation, wash your hands frequently, and don't gather together! "
Lou Xiaoyi made his decision! In the current Lou Province, the two madams were bedridden. All sorts of matters, big and small, were on his shoulders, yet his decision was so unreasonable!
"Don't we need to go to the state capital to get a doctor?" Ping 'an was very puzzled. He was also one of the few people in Lou Province who had no symptoms. Could it be that his body's resistance was strong, and he was in the prime of his life?
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head. "No need! It's too late! "
At night, he went to his mother's bedside and held his mother's hand tightly. His mother was very weak now, and she was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious! When she was awake, Lou Xiaoyi told her his decision.
"News has already spread in Pu City, saying that the few of us bumped into something bad in the sand kiln, and then it brought disaster to everyone!"
Lou Yaoshi shook her head. "It's not my son. My son has the protection of Wen Kui Xing, so nothing can harm him! Isn't Little Yi better? This means that the heavens are very bright! "
Lou Xiaoyi said softly, "Mother, this is actually a simple epidemic. It's purely within the scope of medical science. Those people are ignorant, so they spread such rumors. You don't have to take it to heart. Your son can handle it!
However, medical problems can only be solved by common medical knowledge! Our Lou Province was the first batch of people to discover the epidemic, and I'm also the first! This is the truth! No one can deny it!
Now that there is no medicine to treat the epidemic, how can there be a cure for it every time it happens? Therefore, we can only bear it ourselves. We don't go out because we don't want to spread this epidemic to more people!
I think father would have done the same if he were alive!
Mother, your son has dragged you down! "
Lou Yaoshi smiled. Her son had grown up and knew what to do and what not to do! Yes, if Major Lou was alive, he would have done the same! This was the integrity of a true scholar-official. He was not afraid of making mistakes, but he was afraid of not having the correct attitude towards mistakes! Compared to this, what was life and death?
His heart relaxed, and he fell asleep again.
Lou Xiaoyi looked up at the sky. He had the dream of saving the world, and had the nature of being kind to others, but at that time, he could not do more!
This was a problem of ability, not a problem of attitude. Therefore, he did not feel guilty!
During the day, one of the prefect's aides called Hu Yong came to see him. He was a very ordinary official, but he could feel that this person was not ordinary. This was intuition!
This person was very likely to be the mutant that the seven of them wanted to be!
Hu Yong examined Lou Xiaoyi's body and carefully questioned him about everything that happened in the sand kiln. He didn't find anything special, but in the end, Lou Xiaoyi couldn't help but tell Hu Yong the most important way to deal with epidemics in his previous life: quarantine!
He was very clear that this was something that even the government could not do. This required a powerful dynasty and scientific knowledge. This could only happen in his previous life.
However, he still had a glimmer of hope. In this world, there was also a very powerful system of power, and that was the power of cultivation!
He did not know any cultivators! His friends were all second-rate. Therefore, he could only tell this to Hu Yong. He did not know if he would listen. Could he pass this message to the higher-ups?
This was all he could do! A sense of powerlessness took control of him, making him thirst for power more than ever!
The situation was getting worse and worse, and it was on the verge of losing control! More and more people died. At first, it was just a rumor, but later, the reality of the people around him appeared, and then family, friends, and neighbors …
Pu City was turning into hell!
The people who were still alive began to madly retaliate against Lou Province. Although they did not dare to rush in, for fear of being infected by the epidemic, the bricks and tiles never stopped! The source of food had long been cut off. When the merchants heard that they were from Lou Province, they were not willing to sell anything to them, even if they offered a high price!
Under such a harsh environment, the people of Lou Province began to die of illness one by one, including Aunt Cai, and then his mother!
Lou Xiaoyi looked up at the sky. He was depressed and could not vent his frustration! He began to doubt the necessity of his existence!
For a kind person, everything that happened was unbearable!
