Chapter 150 Rat
Chapter 150 Rat
If you get this plague, you will die. Yuan Fang is only in his teens and his life has not even begun!
But soon, he felt something was wrong.
Yuan Fang stayed in the carriage the whole time and rarely came out except when the team stopped to rest.
Lu Tianming asked coldly:
"Osmanthus, don't say that!"
Lu Tianxin had just come back from the toilet. Seeing this, he ran over, grabbed Guihua and walked towards his own cart.
He walked and looked back and said:
"Brother, this child must have fallen asleep. I'll take her back right away."
Guihua wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his father covered his mouth and dragged him back.
When they reached the cart, Lu Tianxin angrily threw Guihua to the ground and looked at her with disappointment in his eyes.
"I was really wrong. I should have listened to your mother. When you stole your brother's things when you were little, I should have beaten you. If I had intervened then, you might not have become like this!"
Lu Tianxin scratched his messy hair and pointed at Guihua and cursed:
"If your uncle hadn't helped you last time, you wouldn't be alive now! You were only able to survive because Yuan Fang gave up his proper marriage to you, don't you know that?"
"Now you're slandering Yuan Fang again. If you keep going like this, I won't have the face to follow your uncle anymore. Do you have to make your whole family die before you're satisfied?"
Seeing her father like this, Guihua said aggrievedly:
"Dad, I really saw my cousin..."
Lu Tianxin interrupted her before she finished speaking:
"There are so many people in the team, young and old, they are all fine. Do you think Yuan Fang, who has been in the carriage the whole time, is in trouble?"
Lu Tianxin warned Guihua sternly:
"I raised an ungrateful thing like you, and I deserve this. But if you slander Yuan Fang again, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between father and daughter!"
After Lu Tianxin finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Lu Tianming.
Guihua was scolded by her father and started crying in grievance.
On Lu Tianming's side, Lu Yuanfang has also returned.
Next to her were her mother Cui and sister-in-law Guan, and Lu Tianming was asking them about the situation.
Lu Yuanfang was surrounded by so many people, and when he heard his father asking about his toileting situation, his face turned red with embarrassment.
But this matter was exposed as a plague, and she knew that she could not hide now and had to explain it clearly.
Lu Yuanfang explained in a low voice:
"It was too hot before I went to bed last night, so I didn't cover myself with anything. When I woke up this morning, I had some abdominal pain."
Cui also explained beside him;
"Yuan Fang's stomach isn't very good. He gets sick easily when it's hot or cold."
Lu Tianming also knew about his daughter's situation, but everyone in the team was looking at him, and he couldn't just explain it away.
Lu Tianming said loudly to everyone:
"This plague develops very quickly. We'll know by evening whether it's diarrhea caused by a cold. During this time, I'll lock the carriages and not let the women out."
When everyone heard this, they nodded, thinking that this was the only way.
Lu Tianming led them all the way here and helped them so much. They couldn't force him to abandon his daughter just because of a guess.
Everyone secretly decided that they would go back and tell their families not to take off the scarves until they were confirmed.
Cui and Guan accompanied Lu Yuanfang to the carriage, while Yao Bowu looked at her with a worried look on his face.
It was not until Lu Yuanfang got into the carriage that Yao Bowu seemed to have thought of something.
He ran back to his carriage and searched around, only to find the herbs he had prepared earlier.
He took the medicine and wanted to run to Lu Yuanfang's carriage, but was called by Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao had scolded her son many times, warning him that he had already broken off the engagement with the daughter of the Lu family and not to get too entangled with him.
But this silly boy has always been like this.
Mrs. Yao sighed, took the herbs from Yao Bowu's hand, and carefully tied the scarf around her face.
Then she took the medicine and rushed to Lu Tianming's carriage. After exchanging greetings, Mrs. Yao came back empty-handed.
Yao Bowu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother deliver the medicine.
At this time, Lu Qingqing also took a small bowl, poured space water into it, and sprinkled some brown sugar.
She didn't know whether Lu Yuanfang had the plague. If so, the entire team would be in danger.
If this bowl of spatial water can cure the disease, then she won't have to worry about encountering another plague in the future.
If it's not, and it's just simple diarrhea, then everyone is happy.
Lu Qingqing specially heated up the brown sugar water and tied a scarf around her neck before bringing it over.
Lu Tianming was boiling medicine. When he saw her coming to bring him some brown sugar water, he felt emotional.
After everyone knew that his daughter was suspected of being infected, they tried to avoid his house.
Apart from Madam Yao who came to deliver the medicine, no one else dared to get close.
Lu Tianming took the bowl and felt that it was still hot. He felt that Lu Qingqing was even more thoughtful.
"Daya, Yuan Fang hasn't confirmed yet, so don't stay here any longer. Go back quickly. When Yuan Fang gets better, I'll take her to thank you."
Lu Qingqing nodded, and when she walked back, she saw Lu Tianming handing the bowl into the carriage.
After a while, the empty bowl was handed out.
Time was tight now, so Lu Tianming simply poured the medicine into a clay pot and let it sit after it boiled.
If they had continued to work normally, the sun would have risen by the time they set out.
Soon, everyone continued their journey.
Throughout the morning, Lu Tianming asked about Lu Yuanfang's situation every once in a while.
Until he stopped at noon, Lu Yuanfang didn't feel any discomfort, even his stomach didn't hurt.
When the people in the team heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, the team encountered a small market town, which was built on both sides of the official road.
This market town was different from the previous ones. There was not a single living person in the town.
From the entrance to the town all the way inside, there were corpses everywhere on the roadside and a foul smell was emitted.
What’s even more terrifying is that rats kept coming in and out of the pile of corpses, and some of the corpses were gnawed to the point that their bones were exposed.
The rats were stained red with blood and were running around and biting like crazy.
When Lu Tianming and his group passed by, some rats actually ran towards them.
The first few carts were horse-drawn or ox-drawn, and the livestock were frightened and kicked their hooves to avoid the mouse.
Lu Tianxin, who was walking behind the ox cart, was startled by a rat that suddenly jumped to his feet. He kicked the rat aside.
The rat turned around and continued to run towards him. This time Lu Tianxin saw the rat clearly.
The rat was covered in blood, with bits of human viscera clinging to its fur.
When it ran towards Lu Tianxin, it bared its teeth and showed strong aggressiveness.
Lu Tianxin had never seen this kind of rat before and took two steps back in fright.
Lu Qingqing, who was sitting on the ox cart at the back, was quick-witted and shot the rat nail to the ground with one arrow.
The mouse squeaked in pain, struggled a few times, and soon died.
The people at the back of the team also heard the sound and picked up their weapons.
Then I saw rats rushing towards the team, some were swept away by sticks, and some were chopped to death by knives.
Lu Shuhe used a stick to hit a rat that was trying to climb onto the car. Seeing a few more rats coming over, he said anxiously:
"Dad, there are more and more rats. We can't stop here!"
