"What?" Liu Yuexiang was so frightened that she couldn't stand even while holding her child: "Smallpox?"

Ji Miaomiao, who was listening next to her, also widened her eyes in fright.

Smallpox is another epidemic disease in ancient times, but adults who have been sick will have immunity.

In ancient times, children basically suffered from a disease with a very high mortality rate, which was accompanied by high fever and itching all over the body.

Only when the acne comes out can we escape from danger. If it doesn't come out, the child will basically have a narrow escape.

It is said that Emperor Kangxi had pimple marks on his face when smallpox broke out. Many princes died because of smallpox, which shows how dangerous it is.

If children from ordinary people's families get it, it really depends on their fate.

If you can survive it, you will survive it; if you cannot survive it, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.

The other children were just frightened by the adults' surprised attitude and did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

But Ji Miaomiao knew, and she also knew that smallpox was extremely contagious!

She's still so young...she shouldn't be so unlucky, right?

"Doctor Liao, is it really smallpox that my grandson has?"

The village chief also seemed to have aged ten years. He stared at Doctor Liao with wide eyes, unwilling to miss any subtle expression on his face.

The villagers quickly made way for an encirclement and drove their children further away.

"Why are you standing so close? Go far away!"

How far can it go?

We all live in the same village, how can we go alone?

The Forbidden City is so big and it can still be spread, let alone they are a group?

Moreover, they did not know before that the grandson of the village chief, Zhao Jiawei, was suspected of having smallpox. If he really wanted to infect the children, he would have already been infected.

Faced with the actions of the villagers to drive away the children, the village chief sighed inwardly.

He didn't feel sad at all. Whose child doesn't feel bad for him? This is normal.

But he was afraid in his heart that he would become the sinner of the whole village.

Moreover, when his only grandson contracted this disease, he felt distressed and anxious, and wished he could take his own life instead.

"I can't tell for sure." Dr. Liao frowned and carefully examined Zhao Jiawei's whole body:

"His whole body is hot now, and he looks like he's about to break out. It looks like smallpox. It's not ruled out that it's chickenpox."

The symptoms of chickenpox and smallpox are very similar, and it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye and feeling the pulse.

The only difference between them is that smallpox pimples will scab after disappearing, but chickenpox will not.

The fatality rate of chickenpox is not high. Children usually suffer from high fever and are cured when the pox breaks out.

"Doctor Liao, you have to save my grandson!" Seeing Dr. Liao's expression of embarrassment, the village chief's wife was so frightened that she fell to her knees and cried:

"We only have one grandson. If something happens to us, how will our whole family live?"

Zhao Chuanliang is definitely unreliable now. Even if he is reliable, he only has two daughters.

There is only one seedling in the whole family, and this is their whole family's hope.

Who knows if they will survive if they are fleeing now? If there is not enough food later and women are too hungry to give birth to children, how can they have grandchildren?

Zhao Chuanyong, a man, saw his son's face flushed and unconscious, and he gritted his molars and knelt down to Dr. Liao:

"Doctor, please save our son, please."

The village was quiet for a while, except for the village chief and his family who were crying and howling.

But the others didn't look relaxed at all.

No matter what the disease is, it is extremely contagious, and their children cannot be ruled out as being infected.

The faces of Huang Jiagui and his wife changed drastically:

"Doctor Liao, can only babies get this disease? Can adults get it?"

Smallpox is said to be very deadly. The couple has no children, but what if they themselves are infected?

When the village chief's family was worried, the two of them rushed over and grabbed Doctor Liao and asked him, looking half-dead frightened.

Liu Yuexiang, who was holding her son in her arms, became even more disgusted with these two people when she saw this.

It is true that no one is afraid of death, but she is already in a desperate and complicated mood, and it is irrational to vent her anger on others at this time.

Doctor Liao just frowned because of the rude behavior of the two people:

"It is very rare for people who have had chickenpox to get smallpox, at least I have never seen one."

Everyone was slightly relieved after hearing this.

Most of them had acne when they were young.

Huang Jiagui and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they don't get infected, what does anyone else care about them?

Anyway, they didn't have any children.

"We're not completely sure it's smallpox yet. You guys get up first. Since I'm here, I will definitely do my best to treat the child."

Doctor Liao reached out to help the village chief, with a rather emotional look on his face:

"When I was collecting medicine, I found that there are quite a lot of medicinal materials on this mountain. Let's settle here first. The current situation is indeed not suitable for leaving."

Now that Zhao Jiawei has symptoms of the disease, traveling further will not be helpful to his condition.

And we don’t know if the children in other villages have been infected...

Thinking of this, Doctor Liao hurriedly gave instructions:

"Find a place to gather children suspected of smallpox together, and keep children without symptoms away from each other, so as to prevent the infection from becoming more severe."

"good."

The village chief nodded in agreement and said to Ji Liangqing: "We will go up the mountain to find a place right away."

"Okay." Doctor Liao agreed and said to the crying village chief's wife and Liu Yuexiang:

"You hold the child and stay away first."

These are all open spaces. It doesn’t really make much difference if you are far away, but some distance is definitely better than no distance at all.

Several brothers who had a good relationship with Zhao Chuanyong volunteered to follow Liu Yuexiang's mother and son and the village chief's wife.

To avoid any danger if you are far away.

Zhao Chuanyong patted the shoulders of these brothers with red eyes, silently remembering their kindness in his heart.

Of course he couldn't stay here. He wanted to find a good position so that his son could recover well.

Ji Liangqing was also among those who were going up the mountain.

There are several children in their family. He had acne when he was a child, but for some reason, his son and daughter have not had acne at their current age.

How dangerous it would be to be infected!

Ji Liangqing was so anxious that he could only find a place quickly to separate the children.

"Xueyan, Qiuyun, you two ask the children to stay in the car."

As soon as the village chief and others left, Mrs. Ji immediately ordered her two daughters-in-law to help the children get on the bullock cart.

After all, the bullock cart is a confined space and can be considered independent.

"Okay, mother!" Wang Xueyan and Ye Qiuyun both responded hurriedly.

Ye Qiuyun carried Ji Miaomiao and went up with several nephews. The boys curled their lips in dissatisfaction:

"Mom, why do we have to come up when Huzi and the others can be down there? I haven't had enough fun yet!"

The person who said this was Shi Jia. He had always been naughty and liked to follow Hu Zi and others down below to cause mischief.

"You bastard, are you looking for a fight?" Wang Xueyan glared:

"Someone is sick and has smallpox, and you still play down there. Do you deserve a beating?"

"What is smallpox, mother?" Ji Shijia's eyes widened, full of doubts.
