After the old man told Xiaoruo, he hurried to the private school where Xiaozhao was.

Along the way, he walked and observed all the people passing by.

This person was holding a clay pot with a missing corner in his hand, the person ten meters away was wearing a wet padded jacket on his elbow, and another person was carrying a dead chicken hanging upside down, dangling contentedly...

The old man Cen had a panoramic view of the details that he hadn't noticed before, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became, so he could only speed up his pace secretly, and rushed to the private school as soon as possible.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, are you here to see Xiao Zhao?"

No one in the private school knows that Mr. Xiaozhao's favorite student is Xiaozhao, who is the youngest but the most talented, and looks as cute as a jade carving.

Even the door boy of the private school paid a lot of attention to Xiaozhao's family. Seeing who's ancestral grave smoked such a child prodigy, he naturally remembered Xiaozhao's family.

"Hey, yes, yes." Old man Cen didn't correct the doorman's address, he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xiao, please inform me that there is something urgent at home. I'll pick Xiaozhao home."

In order to prevent others from disturbing the students' study, the private school does not allow other people to enter the private school without authorization, and can only let the doorman notify.

The doorman bowed and returned the salute, and then went to report to the teacher who was teaching that day.

"Xiaozhao, since your family is looking for it, it must be something important at home, so you go back. But you can't miss your homework, you have to finish it on time, you know?"

Seeing that Xiao Zhao nodded obediently, the master smiled gratifiedly and said, "Go, don't make your family wait in a hurry."

After packing up the textbooks and putting them in the cloth pocket, Xiao Zhao followed the doorman out of the private school.

Old man Cen stood outside the private school with his hands behind his back and his head stretched out his eyes. Seeing a familiar little figure coming out, he hurriedly waved to Xiao Zhao.

"Zhao Zhao, here!"

Xiaozhao ran to old man Cen with a small body, raised his head and asked, "Why did Grandpa Cen come to pick me up so early today? Did something happen at home?"

"Come home with me first, let's go back and talk."

Taking the cloth bag from Zai Zai and holding his little hand, old man Cen didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly took Xiao Zhao home.

When they got home, both Xiao Niao and Xiao Xun had been called back, and the whole family was tidy.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, old man Cen hurriedly closed the courtyard door and bolted it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and went to sit down at the table in the courtyard.

His actions made others even more puzzled.

"Old man, what's the matter?"

Xiaoruo asked and poured him a glass of water, telling him to take it easy.

"Hey, today's incident reminds me of when I was a child." Old man Cen took a sip of water from the cup and said slowly, "I was only eleven or twelve years old, so I must have been in my infancy, so I don't know what happened at that time." What."

Zheng Dongyang nodded, he really didn't know why old man Cen was so nervous today.

"It was also night at that time, everyone was still asleep, and met the earth dragon turning over."

Speaking of the past, old man Cen's chaotic eyes became even more blurred.

"The scene was so miserable. I can't count how many people were crushed to death by the falling roof beams. There were cries everywhere..."

"Many families were wiped out immediately, and the corpses were stacked up to more than ten meters. They couldn't be buried in the graveyard. In the end, they had to be thrown into mass graves..."

"Later on, there was a bastard who owed gambling debts. There was nothing in his family that could be sold into gambling money, so he went to the empty houses to rummage and search for them."

"First, he rummaged through his hidden savings to gamble, and when he lost, he continued to gamble. Just like this, he rummaged through all the empty houses where people died because of the earth dragon."

"When he ran out of gold and silver, he sold crockery and pottery. Later, there was nothing to take. He even went to the mass graves to pick up the clothes of the dead who were still in good condition. of."

"In this way, this bastard lived a comfortable life for a while, but before he knew it, people in the town began to suffer from strange illnesses."

"First, there was coughing and fever, followed by vomiting and diarrhea. People became chills, limbs became weak, and finally their hands and feet festered, and pus oozes all over their bodies. They died miserably. The whole process of onset was rapid, and it only took a few days from the beginning to death."

"Those who got sick first were those who bought clothes and utensils from that bastard. When they realized that something was wrong, they angrily asked the bastard for an explanation. Only when they arrived at his house did they find that their whole family had already died at home. !"

"The corpses are rotting and full of maggots! This disease can be transmitted to others. People died every day in the town that year. The doors of every house were closed tightly, and no one dared to go out casually."

"But some doors were closed and never opened again..."

In old man Cen's old voice, Xiaoruo's heart sank gradually, and she understood what the strange disease the old man was talking about.

Ancient technology and sanitation were backward. Once a catastrophe occurs, the corpses of humans and animals will quickly rot if they are not disposed of in time.

The breeding bacteria will spread into the groundwater, or contaminate the people and animals that come into contact with it, resulting in the outbreak of widespread and violent infectious diseases, commonly known as the plague.

The situation Xie Chunhua said today is exactly the same as the precursor of the plague that old man Cen said, I am afraid that Qinzhou will not escape this disaster in the future.

"When I went to pick up Zhaozhao just now, I saw many artifacts of the dead in their hands..."

At the end of the conversation, the four adults looked at each other and understood how serious the situation that might happen next was.

Xiaoruo was the first to calm down. She understood that in this world without antibiotics and hypochlorous acid for disinfection, the plague cannot be avoided or cured entirely by manpower, and more can only be done according to destiny.

She calculated the amount of food and oil stored at home. Although she prepared a lot a year ago, after a month of consumption, the remaining rice, noodles, meat and vegetables were only enough for the family to eat for about half a month.

"Senior Zheng, Axun, bring your money to buy rice, noodles and meat. You can buy as much as you can. It's best to go to several stores and buy in a scattered manner. Don't draw too much attention from others."

"Old man, you are at home, looking at Niaoyou and Zhaozhao. I remember that we still have realgar tung seeds in our warehouse, and we will burn them later. We have to use the smoke of realgar tung seeds to fumigate clothes, shoes and socks when we go in and out."

After arranging the adult's task, she knelt down and looked at the two cubs at the same level, and said solemnly: "Niaoyiao, Zhaozhao, from today on, you two are not allowed to go out again, unless sister-in-law says yes. Do you understand?"

"Isn't it okay to go to a private school?"

Xiao Zhao's little face wrinkled slightly.The master has just started to explain "Qu Li", and he still wants to ask the master tomorrow what it means to "be proud, not follow one's desires, not be satisfied with one's ambitions, and not be extremely happy".

Touching his face that had just begun to lose baby fat, Xiao Ruo looked at Xiao Zhao's big black eyes, and said word by word: "No, yes, yes."

Then he stroked his little head reassuringly: "If you don't understand something academically, you can ask Senior Zheng first."

She breathed a sigh of relief after getting the two cubs nodding in unison.

The home is properly arranged, and the rest is the outside world.

Xiao Ruo looked at the sky, it was sunny today, but the heavy rain could hit the city at any time, and Qinzhou was on the verge of collapse.
