On the third day when the sky cleared up, Xiao Jinren, who had vomited blood due to inflammation of the tonsils and finally fell into a coma, opened her eyes and woke up.

After all, the high hillside in the north is not a place to stay for a long time. As the second-in-command among the escorting officials, Bai Qi saw Xiao Jinren fall, so he discussed it with the other two little heads and decided to let the officials join the Tao clan first. Cut down some trees and make a simple raft to float down the river and leave here temporarily.

According to the originally planned route, we had to pass through the valley ahead, exit from the other side of the valley and continue along the river in the northwest direction. Since this road cannot be moved forward in a short period of time due to floods, we can only choose to take a long detour.

This round trip took more than a month of detour at least. The most important thing is that because of the mountains and forests along this road, it is said that there are many bandits who robbed homes and houses. To be honest, not to mention the reluctance of the escort officials, the remaining Tao clan members of more than 800 people and the family members of the deputy general felt miserable in their hearts.

At this time, Doctor Du Fu told Bai Qi a very bad news: there were more than 30% of the prisoners in the exile team who were infirm. Because of the rain in the past few days, even if they had drank it in advance, it was made with brown sugar, wild ginger and isatis root. Hot soup, unfortunately still caught the trick, cold air entered the body and symptoms of high fever persisted.

If that's all, the situation isn't too serious. If they can be treated in time and drink a few herbs, most people can still save their lives. What's terrible is that there are actually quite a few red rashes on their arms and faces. The two most seriously ill have fallen into a coma. The rashes not only ooze pus but also emit bursts of stench.

This is clearly... a plague that is very likely to appear after the flood.

"Then let's kill them all." Xiao Jinren, who happened to wake up, heard what Doctor Du Fu said and said without thinking.

"Sir, this is unavoidable..." One of Xiao Jinren's confidants said with an unbearable expression.

"What's wrong? If we let this plague spread on the spot, what responsibility can you and I bear?" Xiao Jinren was surprisingly calm about this, but in a flash of inspiration, he somehow thought of Xu Yixuan's pretty face. Xiao Lian continued, "But I am not really unreasonable or a cold-blooded person. In this way, those with serious illnesses will be completely dealt with! As for the others, we will set off after a stick of incense!"

Bai Qi was so smart that he immediately heard something was wrong. At least he didn't believe that Xiao Jinren would really let him go mercifully.

In fact, just as Bai Qi guessed, Xiao Jinren is really no longer a human being. Of course, the two most seriously ill ones were taken care of immediately, and a deep pit was dug specially, and half-dried firewood was added...

As for those with mild rash symptoms, they were singled out, including those whose bodies were burned by the cold air, and were strung up one by one with canes and walked at the back of the team. As for the four to five hundred people who seemed to be relatively healthy, they walked ahead according to the previous plan in Changping County.

As a result, pushing the flatbed cart, Xu Yixuan, who was originally walking at the back of the team, as well as Mrs. Tao Wang and Aunt Fang, including Sister Shu and her three siblings, lined up slightly behind the middle of the entire team. Following closely behind were those who had the rash.

After learning this, the three fathers and sons of Zhenguo, who had been relatively unfazed by honor and disgrace before, and whose expressions remained unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, became really angry this time.
