In front of Xuanwu Gate.
Two brothers, one older and one younger, were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, preparing to sell the sweet potatoes they grew at home.
??Among them, the eldest brother is cheerful and the younger brother is shy. As the two of them walked along, the older brother raised his voice and spoke, while the younger brother pursed his lips and smiled beside him.
Suddenly, the eldest brother slapped himself on the neck.
The younger brother was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you crazy?"
"You're crazy." The elder brother yelled, "I'm not crazy."
"You're not crazy, you suddenly hit yourself." The younger brother rubbed his head with a puzzled look on his face.
The eldest brother waved his hand and showed him the blood spots on his palm, "I didn't hit myself, I was fighting mosquitoes. It's strange to say that there are still mosquitoes in this weather. Aren't they all frozen to death? It's really strange."
As soon as he finished speaking, another four or five people swatted the mosquitoes to death one after another.
"There are still mosquitoes in the winter. Fortunately, they are slow and half-dead, so I just beat them to death." The elder brother rubbed the blood on his butt and didn't take it seriously. "Let's go sell sweet potatoes."
The capital city that day was as lively as ever, but the sky was a little gloomy, like the tranquility before a big snowstorm.
If there are elderly people at home, they will probably stand in front of the door with their hands behind their hands and sigh, ¡°Something big is going to happen, something big is going to happen.
However, nothing happened for several days, and the younger members of the family couldn't help but laugh, "What's the big deal? It's just that the weather is not good."
The old people pursed their lips and said nothing.
Three or five days later, several cases of death from high fever suddenly appeared in the capital, but because there were so few, no one took them seriously.
A few days later, the number of people with high fevers gradually increased, and the number of people who went to the hospital could not be accommodated, and this matter attracted people's attention.
But no one told Qiao Lianlian.
The superiors sent people to check, but they couldn¡¯t find out what happened. They only told every household to keep warm, pay attention to the food they eat, and not to drink dirty water.
After a day or two, more and more people were suffering from high fever, and more and more people were shivering and died.
When Qiao Lianlian was checking the accounts of Sixi Tower, he heard Han Zhao mention it and realized that such a thing had happened in the outside world.
"The princess doesn't know that those people are afraid of the cold and have a high fever at first, and then they tremble with chills, convulsions or coma, and then they die suddenly, and it doesn't take long. A good person It¡¯s gone.¡± Han Zhao couldn¡¯t help but sigh.
Qiao Lianlian looked calm at first, but the more he heard, the more serious his expression became.
When she heard the last part, her palms were already sweating, "Are many people suffering from this symptom now?"
"There are quite a few, but most of them are at the east gate. You don't know that Xuanwu Gate used to be so lively, but now few people dare to pass by it." Han Zhao said cautiously, "Everyone says that Xuanwu Gate It's cursed over there, and anyone who passes by the door will get sick and die."
Feudal superstition!
Qiao Lianlian almost wanted to slap the table with her palm, but after thinking about it, she managed to calm down, "Han Zhao, don't be superstitious, this is not a curse, this may be an infectious disease."
It is also a coincidence. Qiao Lianlian used to do research in the laboratory and once curiously browsed through ancient books. In the middle and back position, she once browsed that there were many infectious diseases in history, such as smallpox and the Black Death. But none of them have a serious disease, that is malaria.
Malaria usually occurs in places with high fever, and mosquito bites are the main route of transmission. In the Yu Dynasty, where medicine was not developed, the fatality rate was almost 100%.
But Qiao Lianlian still had some luck in his heart and asked in a trembling voice, "Han Zhao, have any high fever patients been cured in the past few days?"
"There is no choice but to have someone who can cure it. It will prove that it is not malaria and that there is no danger in the capital."
However, what was disappointing was that Han Zhao shook his head, "Not one."
Qiao Lianlian¡¯s heart completely sank to the bottom.
She threw down the account book in her hand and said almost immediately, "Sixi Building is closed. Go and buy tangerine peel, cedar, laurel, eucalyptus, absinthe, fennel and mint. These will all work. Take out all the cash from Sixi Building. Go buy these things.¡±
Close Close?
Han Zhao almost knelt down in front of this aunt, "Princess Princess, do you know how much money the Sixi Building earns per day, and how much the loss will be from closing the building? Even though we have made a lot of money over the years, we can't do this. Especially. There are many dignitaries who have made reservations, and I will certainly offend them all by closing the door, oh my!""It has to be closed." Qiao Lianlian managed to steady his breathing, "Han Zhao, things are very serious now. What happened at Xuanwu Gate may be malaria. Do you know about malaria?"
MalariaAlthough he has never seen it, Han Zhao has heard of it.
It is said that it is a very serious infectious disease, but it is not transmitted from person to person, so it is not that scary, and there should be no need to close the building.
Qiao Lianlian looked at Han Zhao's expression and knew that he hadn't thought it through yet.
She said sincerely, "There is no human-to-human transmission, but so many people fell down at Xuanwu Gate. Isn't it because of infection? Do you think Sixi Tower is infected? Or maybe the guests of Sixi Tower are infected?"
Han Zhao was shocked, "Of course I don't want to."
"Don't worry that Sixi Tower will go bankrupt, and don't worry that those people will blame Sixi Tower. As long as I'm here and Cheng'er is here, nothing will happen."
Han Zhao was startled.
He suddenly remembered Madam Qiao¡¯s eldest son, from an inconspicuous little scholar to the emperor¡¯s grandson and then to the new emperor.
Step by step, it¡¯s unattainable.
When other people see the new emperor now, they can only look up and show respect.
But Han Zhao had seen the awkward and coquettish way the new emperor treated Qiao Lianlian, the way he looked at Qiao Lianlian with admiration, the time when he was young, and the indestructible mother-child relationship between him and Qiao Lianlian.
In an instant, Dong Han¡¯s tense back relaxed.
With such an invincible backer, Sixi Tower is unique, not to mention walking sideways.
He, what else is scary?
Close it!
Han Zhao immediately said, "I'm going to close the building and go shopping."
He turned around to leave, but Qiao grabbed the hem of his clothes and said sincerely, "Dr. Han, the way malaria is transmitted is due to mosquito bites. Now in winter, mosquitoes may not bite anymore, but there are still fatal things like fleas. You usually You must pay attention to the cleanliness inside, dry your bedding frequently, carry some mint and absinthe with you, and don¡¯t come into contact with anyone who is too slovenly.¡±
In this way, you can avoid being infected with malaria with a high probability.
Han Zhao nodded seriously, turned around and went outside.
Qiao Lianlian went straight to the imperial city without any delay.
This is her first time here after Yu Feicheng ascended the throne. According to the original procedure, she should get off the carriage at the city gate and walk all the way to the Jinluan Palace.
But this time, Qiao Lianlian only needed to take off the gold medal around his waist and reveal it, and the guards opened the city gate respectfully without saying a word, letting the carriage clatter into the imperial city. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
