The serious look on their son's face told them that there was no luck, and the couple sat back on the wooden pier helplessly.

In fact, when my son opened his mouth, he already believed it in his heart. After all, his son was never an aimless person, and he would never talk nonsense about such an important matter.

"But...how could it be?" Qin Dagen was still shocked.

It's not like the people in the village are unaware of the danger of the plague, and everyone is avoiding it for fear of being infected. Every household doesn't even leave the village, and they don't even gossip about their parents. How could someone be infected? Qin Dagen is still Can't figure it out.

"Dad, this is the Zhang family"

"Which Zhang family?" There were two surviving Zhang families in Shangqin Village, Ms. Li couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Goudan's house."

"It's his house? How is it possible? The road at the entrance of the village has been blocked and no one goes out!"

"Mom, just because no one went out, doesn't it mean no one came in?" Qin Shu's eyes were slightly cold.

"You mean..."

"Ah..." Qin Dagen was interrupted by his youngest son's cry before he finished speaking.

"...I remembered!"

"Say what comes to mind as soon as possible."

Qin Dagen, who was already anxious enough, was so surprised by his youngest son's behavior that he still had no patience left.

"It happened a few days ago. I went out to get up at night. I heard some movement and went out to take a look. There were indeed a few figures in the distance walking towards Goudan's house at night."

"Why don't you tell me such an important thing... I'm so angry." As soon as Mrs. Li heard this, she reached up and pinched her youngest son's ears, and patted him a few times.

In fact, Mrs. Li also knew that she was venting her anger, and she couldn't blame her younger son for this incident. However, she didn't feel bad at all when her younger son took the initiative to act as a barrel of fire.

...It hurts, it hurts, please be gentle, mother...I am your biological son..."

"I wonder if you don't know the pain..." After all, Mrs. Li let go of her hand, and then sat on the wooden pier with a sad look on her face.

Although their home was still some distance away from the Zhang family, the plague was so contagious that she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

"Your son is not a wooden person..." Qin Ming muttered quietly.

"What do you say?"

"No...I didn't say anything. I mean, mom, you've worked hard. Does your hand hurt?" Qin Ming, who was desperate for survival, quickly expressed his sincerity.

"You..." Ms. Li shook her head, but she felt a little more comfortable than before when her youngest son made such a fuss.

"Hehe... But I really didn't think much about it that night. I just heard some noise and saw a figure passing in front of our house. I vaguely looked at the person at the back who looked like Li Goudan's father. At that time, I was surprised that a family was so late at night. Why are people still hanging out? It's just... I just woke up early and forgot everything." At the end of the sentence, Qin Ming was obviously a little guilty.

"I don't blame you." Qin Shu gave his younger brother a comforting look. He was already in a daze, so even if he saw something, he still thought it was a dream.

"So they came in at night." Qin Dagen couldn't help but get angry.

Obviously, Shangqin Village had already reached a consensus when they learned that the plague started to spread. No outsiders could be brought into the village under any circumstances. I didn't expect that the Zhang family would be so courageous at this time. This is not harming others or ourselves. ?
"Obviously" Qin Shu nodded.

"But what should we do now? Should we notify the villagers? It's been several days. Isn't someone already infected?" Li felt like her head was going to explode.This family is really mentally ill.

"You must tell the villagers, and someone has been infected. At least the Zhang family must have been infected. I saw Zhang Goudan's father had coughed, and someone in their family must be gone. I saw him He secretly buried the person behind the house.”

"You read that right?" Qin Dagen stood up again suddenly, with fear on his face.

There are already people gone, how serious that is.

"No, you know I'm used to getting up early to practice."

"Brother Shu, you're not close, are you?" Mrs. Li looked at her son worriedly.

"No, I just saw it from a distance. When I came back, I quickly changed all my clothes and boiled water to wash and iron my clothes."

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Li felt more relieved after hearing this, "The Zhang family wants to kill the whole village. If it doesn't work, go and tell the villagers..."

"Mother, don't worry..." Qin Dagen quickly grabbed Li.

"How can we not be anxious when things are like this..."

"Mom...Dad is right, it won't be less than half an hour."

"The people in the village must tell, but this matter cannot be made public. Now they feel guilty and only dare to hide within the confines of their own homes. If everyone goes to call for punishment, I am afraid that the Zhang family will jump over the wall. After all, they have been infected. If If someone breaks a jar and throws it, someone with malicious intentions deliberately releases the source of infection, we cannot guard against it..."

Qin Shu's words made everyone in the family take a breath of air.

The imperial court said that this plague is extremely contagious, and everyone must not go out, stay at home, and be sure to do a good job of protection and disinfection. Use boiled water to wash your home, and use water that has been boiled repeatedly for drinking water. , you can smoke it with mugwort twice a day. Fortunately, there is quite a lot of mugwort and it is not difficult to pick it up.

But if the Zhang family really does something bad, even if they smoke it every day, they will still be unable to prevent it.

My son is right, this matter should not be made public, just let everyone know about it, to prevent them from really jumping over the wall in a hurry, with the mentality that if I am not good, everyone should not think about it.

"Father, mother, please quietly tell the few people in the village who have good relations with you about this matter. However, you must cover your mouth and nose, and you must keep a distance when speaking. Especially, make the stakes clear. We just need to take more precautions." Spot them."

Qin Dagen and Mrs. Li nodded. They didn't dare to approach anyone else unless their son told him.

"Brother Lu, Brother Ming, you two don't go out, let alone talk nonsense, you know?" Qin Dagen looked at the other two sons worriedly.

The two brothers nodded quickly, knowing that this was not the time for them to be willful.

Then the couple couldn't sit still anymore, so they carefully covered their mouths and noses and left the house.

On this day, everyone in Qin Village became nervous and stayed away from the Zhang family. Those with children at home were kept away from them.

The only good thing is that not many families survived in Shangqin Village, and the distance between each family was still quite large. As long as they didn't get too close and the protection was good, it shouldn't be a big problem.

As for the Zhang family, as Qin Shu said, they really did not dare to go out because of their guilty conscience, lest the villagers would find them and drive them out or treat them as evil stars and burn them.

It was not uncommon in the past. For the safety of the entire village, sick people would be burned.

The Zhang family was very scared. Even after taking the medicine given by the court and even secretly going up the mountain to collect medicine, the family members still fell down one after another.

Zhang Dali regretted to death that he should not have listened to his mother-in-law and took his eldest brother's family back home in order to get some food. Unexpectedly, someone fell down on the third day after arriving at their home, and it continued like this every day, even on the third day. They were quarantined for a while, and their family members did not escape.
