Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2245 The root of chaos, the madness of life and death

I?

   I don't have a name.

   Well, it can’t be said that there is no name at all, because I was born under the wheel of a Lele car, so I was called "Lele", but everyone knows that this is not exactly a "name".

  I hope to have a more formal name, such as "Kalas" or "Leite". The former is courage, and the latter is honesty. This is a name...

  『Lele』, sounds like the name of a horse, or a cow?

  The big boss is meeting with the witches and drove away those of us who serve the witches.

   There must be some very important things.

  Some things have indeed happened. Although most of us live separately from the people in the tribe, we have heard some bad news from those people in the tribe.

  The big boss has an order that does not allow such news to be spread in private, so basically everyone will start like this when they tell me, "I tell you, the big boss said, this can't be spread in private..."

  I just nodded.

   Then they will talk.

I really hope that these news are not true, just rumors of these people, but since the seventh sun in March—well, counting thirty suns, it will be the next month—after the rise of the strange death in the tribe Appeared.

  To be precise, it appeared in the tent at the southernmost tip of the tribe, and the people who lived there were all the people who managed those "Kadazi". "Kadazi" means bone dregs, which means that they are captured prisoners of war, which are considered half animals, and of course someone must be responsible for grazing them.

  Although it is said that the leaders in the tribe tried their best to conceal this matter, they said that the two people were injured and killed while grazing "Kadazi", and then killed all the "Kadazi" over there to be buried with them...

  『No indiscriminate transmission is allowed! 』

   There is a new order.

But just like what I said before, this kind of thing has actually been spread long before the ban was issued. Some people said that the two shepherds who died had no external injuries at all, and they were not like what the big boss said. Said what was injured.

  Later, I originally thought that this matter would be over like this, but on the fifteenth sun, three more people died, the same as the previous two people...

  The big boss ordered us to leave the pasture and come here.

  We all thought that this matter was over and we could live happily again, but we didn’t expect that on the twentieth sun, people started to die again. This time, five people died.

   Twenty-one suns.

  Just three people died, which made us happy for a while, thinking that this inexplicable death would soon pass.

   But at the time of the twenty-two suns, eight people died.

  Twenty-three suns are eighteen people...

   Today, there are twenty-four suns, and not long after they rise, ten of them have already died. No, someone came to report just now, so it was eleven people...

  I stared at the wooden board in front of me. The sun and the villain painted on it seemed to be shaking on the wooden board, which made me a little dizzy.

   It is said that there are still some people in the tribe, um, some very large people, who have started to cough.

   It is said that some of these coughing people are okay, while others will keep coughing, getting bigger and bigger coughs, and finally cough up all the flesh and blood in their bodies, and then...

There's no after that.

  The witch has prayed for everyone, but...

   doesn't seem to work.

  Uh, I shouldn't think so, please forgive me, the gods in the sky.

  The witch said, this is a warning from the heavens, and anyone who has done bad things will have to pass the test of God this time...

   Well, there seems to be some truth, anyway, the stupid big guy who used to beat me up when I was young and robbed me of food, the guy with the name "Karas" died at twenty-two suns.

  I seem to feel a little happy...

  This is wrong, I can't feel happy.

  The way "Karas" died was really ugly.

  I don't know how to describe it, but it's smelly and ugly anyway.

  All the people in the tribe were flustered, they didn't even want to live in tents, they said there were devils in the tents, and then they would rather build bonfires in the wild.

   Fortunately, it's not too cold now, otherwise...

  『Lele! Lele..." There was a shout in the distance.

  I responded subconsciously, then stood up, only to find that someone was turning the corner with a carriage...

   I hate this name!

  The guy next to him opened his mouth wide and smiled, showing his yellow and black teeth, which made me really want to grab a handful of dirt and throw it into his mouth!

I know this big yellow tooth, he is jealous of me, because I can count, I can count from one to a hundred, and he can only count to twenty, and with the help of his fingers and toes, if his fingers If two or three are missing, can we only count to seventeen or eighteen?

   It is precisely because of this that I am more valued by the witches. This piece of wood can only be given to me, not him.

  『Lele! 』

  I stood up abruptly, this time I was right, it was the witch calling me!

  I hurriedly grabbed the board and ran to where the witch was.

  Maybe the board became heavier, or maybe I ran too fast, I felt dizzy, and the ground shook a little, and there seemed to be some insects crawling in my chest...

  『Cough cough cough...』

  I couldn't stand, fell to the ground, and coughed.

  I felt like my head was buzzing, like a little hammer was hitting my head.

  『No...cough cough, it’s all right...』

  I tried to stand up again, but I saw the witch's face contorted...

  I have never seen the face of the witch turned into this. He shouted something loudly, and then someone rushed up, grabbed my leg, and dragged me away...

Between the grass clippings and the clods of dirt, I saw the big yellow teeth dragging me, he grinned wide, showing those yellow, yellow and black teeth, like a dog biting meat, desperately in drag.

  I wanted to struggle, but I didn't know why, all my strength seemed to go to the chest and abdomen, and then I escaped from coughing...

  I suddenly realized something, and I tried my best to grab the grass that was passing by in front of me!

   I'm staying here!

   I am not sick!

I…

  『Cough cough cough...』

  ...(⊙x⊙;)...

  『Are you sure? He was also sick? The witch closed his eyes, "Oh...he is my favorite child...so don't let him suffer...send him on his way, the gods will accept him..."

  A guard with a knife leads the way.

  The witch wiped away tears that didn't exist, and sighed.

  『It’s very troublesome now...』 The big boss stood aside and said, 『There are already five tribes suffering from the disease... What I’m worried about now is that this disease will increase...』

  The big boss glanced at the witch, "And I doubt...whether you can get the divine will? 』

  『You are blaspheming! ”The witch immediately put down the expression of pity before, and stared at the big leader fiercely, “Do you know what you are talking about? ! 』

  『I did not blaspheme! Those who cannot obtain God's will are the real blasphemers! ’ The big leader was not afraid of the intimidation of the witches at all, ‘You said before that the will of the gods came here, but more people died here! What are you going to say? ! Is it God's will, or you tampered with it... Or, you don't get any guidance from God at all...』

  『Your thinking is very dangerous...』The witch twitched his face a few times, 『Boss, the gods are everywhere, omniscient, omnipotent...You actually doubt the power of the gods...』

  『Say it one last time! I do not doubt the gods! I suspect you! The big leader stared at the witch, "If you don't get the guidance of the gods today, then you have betrayed the gods!" Lost the favor of the gods! Everyone in our tribe cannot be implicated because of your actions alone! I must be the master for my tribe, for thousands of Dingling people! If you can't accept the guidance of the gods, then change to another witch who can be guided by the gods! 』

  The muscles on the cheeks of the witch kept beating, "I can receive the guidance of the gods!" 』

  『Then tell me what is the guidance of the gods? ! ’ The big leader pressed on, “Don’t say it’s the gods who are telling us to die! 』

  The sorcerer's expression changed, and then he suddenly seemed very surprised, "What? Have you also received this message from the gods? 』

"what's the message? 』The big leader froze for a moment.

The witch closed his eyes, with a look of grief on his face, "Actually, the gods gave me the information from the very beginning, but I have been unwilling to accept it...the gods reminded me again and again, but I...hey...so the gods reminded me again Boss leads you...」

  The big leader couldn't help touching his head, a little confused, could it be that he really received something?

"what? The big leader suddenly remembered, "Could it be..."

  The sorcerer nodded compassionately.

"This is impossible! ’ the big boss called out.

  The sorcerer closed his eyes, unmoved. Having been in this profession for so long, from youth to old age, the witches and witches deeply know that gods must be high and unfathomable. If everything can be deduced by mortals, can they still be called gods? The more unreliable words, once believed, become more solid and unbreakable.

"This is impossible! impossible! ’ the big boss repeated, shaking his head again and again.

  The witch narrowed his eyes, "But the gods have already told you...even you said so..."

"What did I say? ! I didn't say anything! ’ the big boss said angrily.

  The sorcerer has a calm demeanor, "Gods must not be deceived..."

  『I…』 The big boss gasped, then frowned and said, 『Why? ! 』

  The witch looked at the big leader and said, "The gods also told you... what were you worrying about before?" Confused about what? And now, is the answer...』

  The big leader frowned deeply, "Could it be that..."

  『That’s right...』The witch said slowly, 『Before which event, we didn’t have these problems...but now...isn’t this the guidance of the gods? 』

  『…』 The big leader fell silent, then glanced at the witch.

  The witch is also targeting the big boss.

  『You think I'm a fool? ’ said the big boss in a low voice, ‘You know what you’re talking about? 』

  The witch also lowered his voice, "I know...the Huns also encountered such a problem when they were still there...the big boss is so smart, he must know how the Huns solved this problem..."

  『The Xiongnu…』The chief fell silent.

  The witch said slowly: "I was hesitating before...but now, big boss, you see, even the children around me...this is God's warning...if you say..."

  The big leader became more and more silent.

  Although what the witch said was absurd, it is very interesting that he just hit the truth.

   Plague has been with humans since ancient times.

  In other words, when there were no humans, these germs, viruses, molds, etc., were already the masters of the earth, and humans...

  When human beings were born, compared with these germs and molds, they were like younger brothers.

  The key is that human beings still like to die.

  The problems encountered by the Huns back then were actually similar to those encountered by the Dingling people.

  In fact, it seems to be very mysterious and complicated. In fact, the answer is very simple, but it cannot be solved according to the current understanding and medical technology.

Isolate and check all people and livestock, isolate the sick people and livestock, and then treat them while removing all intermediate hosts to prevent secondary infection of pollutants, etc., which are very common and common means of disease prevention and epidemic prevention in later generations. The United States can't even do it, causing the virus to spread wantonly in the sewers at the center of its empire, let alone the current Dingling tribe in the Han Dynasty.

Most of the plagues are caused by germs and viruses, and these germs and viruses are often group-like, that is, people in this group of tribes may carry them, but they will not get sick, and then they go to another tribe. People in a tribe do not have the ability to immunize against this germ, so it breaks out.

Especially for the original Dingling people, their lives were relatively simple at the beginning, and there were no major changes. Then because of the sudden decline of Xianbei, and then the crazy expansion of the Dingling people, many people left the land where they originally lived. It also accepted a lot of people from other tribes, and there is no habit of paying attention to hygiene...

Because of the temperature, it’s okay in winter, the germs don’t multiply too much, and the infectivity is not so strong, so even if someone got sick at the beginning, they didn’t get attention, and now when spring comes, the temperature rises When the temperature is high, the infectivity of the germs is no longer limited by the temperature, and they will start to attack.

And now it just so happens that these Dingling people, because of Yuyang, were originally scattered tribes, but now they are gathering together, and they don't pay attention to camp sanitation like General Hussars. Human excrement plus animal excrement, Then in the spring, mosquitoes breed, and then humans and animals infect each other, spread in all directions, and eventually it will be out of control.

   It is impossible to solve such a problem according to Ding Lingren's current medical level, so there is only one way left...

   Let these sick people die, and the natural plague will disappear.

  『I summoned the heads of all ministries... 』The big boss finally said, 『This matter... When the time comes, you need to know what to do...』

  『It is my duty to convey the will of the gods...』The witch returned to his original unfathomable expression.

  The night in the desert carries a special coolness.

  The wind blows from the north, and it seems to have a cold breath, like the smell of death.

  On the mound, the big leader stood in the middle, surrounded by the tribal leaders who had been summoned.

  『These days...everyone got a lot of good things...』 The big boss said slowly, 『It’s all good things...right? Cattle and sheep, women and children, countless furs and blankets, and war horses... are all good things...』

  『But the good things on the surface are not necessarily good things on the inside... 』The big boss looked around slowly, 『What happened in the past few days... don't I need to say more? Our shaman said it was because of the curse of the damned Xianbei **** in these things! 』

   All the leaders were in an uproar, whispering to each other.

"I see! Now I understand! 』

  『I said so! These Xianbei dogs are uneasy and kind! 』

  『As expected! The Xianbei dog has such a poisonous heart! 』

  『That’s right…』

  The big boss waited for a while, and after the surrounding voices became quieter, he said again, "There is a way to break this curse, and it is the only way... Come on!" Raise the fire! 』

Following the order of the chieftain, the fire was lit on the back of the hill, and the witch wearing a colorful robe held up a staff wrapped in colorful silk, trembling all over under the light of the fire. It was as if all the joints of the hands and feet were distorted, dancing an inexplicable and weird dance, and making a voice that fluctuated from high to low, sometimes sharp and sometimes low...

  Before the fire, some bound people were writhing on the stakes, like bugs or sheep with their hands and feet trapped.

The witch jumped more and more, moved more and faster, and her voice became more and more high-pitched. With the last roar of the witch, several dinglings with colorful patterns on their bodies came forward, and then The person on the wooden stake was disemboweled, and then the **** heart was pulled out from the chest and abdomen alive, and thrown into the burning fire...

  A smell like a chicken heart dropped into a raging charcoal fire when grilling accidentally, spreading in the air...

  The heat wave is rolling, distorting the air above the campfire, it seems that something is jumping in it, and it seems that there is nothing...

   The wind blows.

  The banners, robes, and even the leaves of grass were buzzing.

"listen! ’ Wu’s voice seemed to be full of irresistible tone, ‘God is speaking! 』

  『Close your eyes! Listen to this voice...」

  『God, God is saying...』

"Blood! 』

  『More blood! 』

  『Use more blood! Only then can this curse be broken! ”The sorcerer opened his arms and shouted frantically, “Either it belongs to us, or it belongs to the enemy!” Blood! more blood! 』

  『Ding Ling Wansheng──』The big leader drew out his saber, stood on the mound and raised it high, roaring across the night sky, "We want the blood of the enemy!" Enemy blood to break the curse! I give the order in the name of Chief Dingling...』

  『All cursed tribes! 』

  『Immediately—』

  『Go out! 』

  Clouds, sweeping.

  The wind roared away.
