"Gou Wa, what's wrong with you, Gou Wa?"
Erni and the others were playing together when suddenly Gou Wa fainted. Erni and the others surrounded him anxiously.
Hearing the shouts, Gou Wa's mother ran over, pushed aside the group of children, and came forward to hold her child.
Gou Wa closed his eyes tightly and touched his forehead, which was burning hot.
"Chief, something bad has happened. Chief, my Gou Wa has a high fever." Gou Wa's mother shouted anxiously.
Zhao Youtian was also anxious, and hurried forward to touch his forehead. It was indeed very hot, and then he said to his wife, "Mother, I remember I went to the city just now to buy some antipyretic medicine. Take some out and share it with Gou Wa's mother."
Youtian's wife was a little reluctant, but she didn't say anything at this time. She went to find the medicine and handed it to Gou Wa's mother. Gou Wa's parents hurriedly thanked her.
They were also confused. They were only concerned with stockpiling rice and other food, but did not think that they should stockpile some medicinal herbs for their child.
Gou Wa's father quickly stewed the soup and fed it to Gou Wa. Gou Wa broke out in a sweat, his fever subsided, and he opened his eyes.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this. Gou Wa's father carried Gou Wa on his back, and Zhao Youtian saw that it was getting late, so he asked everyone to continue on to the next city.
Along the official road, there were not only people from Zhaojia Village, but also some refugees in groups of three or five.
Zhao Youtian saw an old man and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something. Let's go along the road. Where is the next city?"
"Where are you from? You don't even know. The next city is Jiangcheng. It's still far away. It will take at least five days to walk there."
"So far? Is this the nearest city?" Zhao Youtian frowned.
"Yes, this is the closest one. You guys are not staying in Chicheng anymore?" the old man asked.
"Yes, there are too many people there, and I can't wait. I want to try my luck in the next city." Zhao Youtian answered.
"Alas, I am old now. I think I should go to the next city, maybe I can have better luck. As for Chi City, I think it is difficult to enter it!" The old man shook his head and sighed.
The topic stopped here. Zhao Youtian told his tribesmen that the next city was Jiangcheng. It was about a five-day journey. Everyone tightened their bags, gritted their teeth, and decided to set off for Jiangcheng.
There were more people on Zhao Youtian's side. Although some refugees were envious of some people's heavy bags, they did not take them easily.
After all, there are more people, so safety is guaranteed.
Along the way, we encountered elderly people who could not walk, sick children, and even people who starved to death on the roadside. The war had caused indelible damage to ordinary people.
There were so many refugees that Zhao Youtian did not dare to stay easily. He did not stay until he found a secluded place at night. Everyone gathered together and started to live and cook.
During this period, one or two brave refugees came forward, but were driven away by the tribesmen arranged by Zhao Youtian.
So the others watched from a distance and did not dare to step forward easily.
At night, Xiaocao suddenly vomited. This made Xiu'er panic, and Li Rouniang was also anxious, after all, there was not even a doctor around her, and no one knew what was going on with her!
Li Rouniang could only pour more space water into the grass, hoping that it would work.
The grass was humming all night, which was worrying. Early the next morning, the grass had a high fever. Li Rouniang quickly boiled some fever-reducing herbs and fed them to the grass.
But Xiaocao was still in a daze, and Xiu'er was anxiously wiping her tears. In fact, it was not just Xiaocao, Gou Wa also had a recurring fever, and Gou Wa's mother was also anxiously crying and wiping her tears.
Zhao Youtian was also anxious. How come both children suddenly fell ill?
But it was impossible for so many people to stop here, so they could only keep moving forward, hoping to get to Jiangcheng soon, enter the city as soon as possible, and find a doctor to see.
Otherwise, standing there in the wilderness would only lead to worse consequences, so everyone stepped up their pace.
However, Erya also fell ill the next day. In the following two days, Dani, Erni, Huzi, and even Zhao Xiaopang, these strong children, all started to show symptoms of vomiting and fever.
Gou Wa and Xiao Cao, who were the first to fall ill, were both in a daze at this time. This made everyone very anxious.
At this anxious time, everyone arrived in Jiangcheng.
Zhao Youtian ran to the city gate anxiously and expectantly.
"Brother, gatekeeper, please be kind and let us go in and take the children to see a doctor first." Zhao Youtian bowed and requested.
"Are you sick? What happened?" asked the bailiff.
"The child just has a fever and vomits. We don't know the specific situation." Zhao Youtian answered honestly.
The yamen runner's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly backed away, covering his nose with his hands: "Go, go, go, you are not allowed to enter the city."
"Why is this? Big brother, you can't just stand by and watch them die. They are still children." Zhao Youtian was anxious. His little Fatty and the children in the clan were all waiting to be saved!
"Didn't you hear me telling you to leave? You are not allowed to enter, so you are not allowed to enter." The bailiff took a step back and waved his hands fiercely, as if avoiding a plague, unwilling to get entangled with Zhao Youtian any more.
"Why won't you let us into the city? We want to see the official!" Goudan's mother couldn't hold on any longer while holding Gou Wa. Her Goudan was unconscious at this moment. She was very emotional. She was usually very afraid of the yamen runners, but now she was not afraid. If her Gou Wa was gone, she would not live either!
"Don't come over, stay away from us. You are the plague!" The bailiff shouted in panic as he took a big step back.
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, everyone was stunned. What? Plague!
"What did you say? What plague?" Li Rouniang was also anxious. She had the most children around her, and they all had vomiting and fever in varying degrees. Could this be a plague?
"It's a plague, and this plague specifically targets children. Many children in the city have already been infected. You should not go in to avoid cross infection. And there is no effective medicine so far." The bailiff waved his hand and said.
"No matter what, let's go in and see a doctor. Otherwise we will be helpless outside the city." Li Rouniang said anxiously. Her four children and Xiaocao were all sick to varying degrees, especially Xiaocao. She was so worried!
"The Lord has ordered that sick children are not allowed to enter the city!" the bailiff said firmly.
"Then let's not bring the child in. Let's go in alone and ask the doctor to come out and see, okay?" Li Rouniang thought for a moment and said a compromise.
The bailiff looked at the children in the crowd and hesitated for a moment.
He also has children at home, so naturally he doesn't want to stand by and watch them die.
Zhao Youtian noticed the guard's hesitation and quickly stepped forward to plead, "Please, we won't go in. We just want to ask a doctor to come out and take a look at our child. We can't just let them wait at the door."
"Okay, only one of you can go in." Finally, the bailiff gave in. He was not cruel, it was just his duty. If he violated the rules and was punished, who would support his family?
Zhao Youtian hurriedly thanked them, asked everyone to find a sheltered place near the door to settle down, and then hurried into the city!
