Chapter 1 Strange Disease Raid

In the early autumn, a sudden strange disease swept through Wangxian Town.

This strange disease is called green dot disease. Judging from the current symptoms, this kind of green dot disease is generally only for children over one year and under 10 years old. Children over ten years old are generally not infected. Of course, in villages infected with this green spot disease, there are also a small number of green spots on the faces of children over ten years old, but so far no child over ten years old has died from a small number of green spots on their faces. A small number of green spots appear on the faces of children over ten years old, and they will all disappear in less than an hour or two. After the green spot disappears, it will only leave a small amount of hemp on the face at most, and the place where the hemp is left is where the green spot appears. At present, in the villages infected with this green spot disease, no adults have been infected with this green spot disease. As far as the current situation is concerned, this green spot disease is only for children over one year and under 10 years old. Children over ten years old don't need to worry about their parents even if they have the same green spots on their faces. At most, they will only leave a small amount of puchs on their faces and will not die. Once a child under the age of 10 in a village is infected with this green spot disease, within three days, all the children over one or 10 years old in the village will die without exception. This strange disease, which is fatal but only for children, is also known as "child death".

Children infected with this strange disease have a common symptom. They have green spots on their faces, violent coughs, dry mouths and tongues, panicked, tremble their limbs when walking, sometimes as if their bodies are frozen, and sometimes as if they are burned by fire. The initial symptom of infection with this plague is the appearance of three or two small green spots on the face, and then the number of small green spots continues to increase. Soon, the face will be full of dense green spots. Then the green dots spread to the neck, and then continue to spread downward. Before long, the whole body will be covered with a dense green dots.

The green death has been around for more than half a month, and there are 28 villages in Wangxian Town. Twenty villages have been infected with green death. Wangxian Village in the middle of the town is finally fine. For half a month, no child has been infected with green death.

In 12 villages infected with green death, all 11 children under the age of 10 died without exception.

Three families of children under the age of 10 in the remaining village died, and the rest of their lives were not guaranteed.

All children under the age of 10 in the four neighboring villages in the east, west, north and south of Wangxian Village have all died five days ago. Wangxian Village, which is sandwiched in the middle, can keep the child safe for half a month. No child is infected with green spot disease, which is a miracle.

At dusk for half a month, a young woman suddenly cried and scolded in Wangxian Village: "I broke the leg of your disobedient little boy. You came back for three days and nights. Mother has raised your son for nothing in recent years and broke your leg. You are so disappointed. Mother doesn't expect you to grow up. It's done. For more than half a month, my mother has repeatedly told you to stay in the house honestly, don't go out, and can't go anywhere. Why do you take your mother's words as a deaf ear? What can you do? What can you do to go to the Temple to make a wish for the children in the village? Thank God that you can protect yourself from the death of a child. Other people's children are taken good care of by their parents. There is no parent in the world who does not love their own children. The safety of other people's children does not need you to mind your own. What kind of child is dead? It's simply a human plague. If the plague god wants to let someone's child die, how can you, a little child, be protected by one wish? Why is your heart so good? Other people's children have their parents taking good care of them. Why do you need to make a wish for them? You don't want to die. Go and make a wish for the children in the village. Mother can't live without you. You haven't seen the green spots on your body yet, and you haven't been infected with the child's death, even if you are lucky. If you have a long time, how can you live? Do you think about your mother's feelings? If you have three short stories, how can you live?!" Zhang Susu cried and scolded while beating her son's buttocks.

The young woman's name is Zhang Susu, and her son's name is Qiao Xiaoxuan, who is eight years old.

Hearing Zhang Susu's crying and scolding, as well as the sound of beating her son Qiao Xiaoxuan's buttocks, none of the farmers in Wangxian Village went to persuade him to fight, but closed the door. Qiao Xiaoxuan kindly prayed for other people's children, hoping that every family's children in the village could avoid the death of the child. But their parents are actually so indifferent, as if Qiao Xiaoxuan has been infected with the child's death disease, which will infect the child's death disease to these adults, making their adults quickly die of their skin erosion. Door-to-door, whether his child is under ten years old or over ten years old, he closes the door and guards his children closely, as if Qiao Xiaoxuan has brought the child's deadly virus to the village. The air outside the door is full of child death virus.

Wangxian Village is located in the center of Wangxian Town.

A bustling town street passes through the whole village, and on both sides of the street are the villagers' houses of Wangxian Village.

Qiao Xiaoxuan and his three little brothers have just returned from the Wangxian Temple, and there are four female immortal statues in the Wangxian Temple.

There is a lake in Wangxian Town called Wangxian Lake. Legend has it that there is a crystal palace at the bottom of the lake, where four fairies live. The four fairies raised in the temple are shaped according to the four fairies living in the Crystal Palace at the bottom of the lake.

Four little brothers in the village went to the Wangxian Temple today and made a wish to the four fairies for the children under the age of 10 in the village, wishing that the children under the age of 10 in the village could avoid this deadly green spot disease. I wish all children under the age of 10 infected with green spot disease can avoid the plague and recover. And he became a brother in the Wangxian Temple. Qiao Xiaoxuan is eight years old, ranking the eldest; Xu Kangsheng is seven years old, ranking second; Ge Fusheng is six years old, ranking third; Li Guisheng is five years old, ranking fourth.

On the way home, the four little brothers met the land guard of Wangxian Town, beating gongs and drums, tearing their throats, and shouting on the street of the town, nothing more than going door to door to take care of their children, and strictly prohibiting children from all families from going out. Behind the shouting land, he followed the eight servants of Wangxian County who looked around. Although Wangxian Town is not a big town, as a necessary place for business travel in Wangxian County, there are special servants stationed in Wangxian Town.

"Hold, whose four little bastards are you? You are so bold, joking about your own lives and wandering around the street. Why don't you get home quickly!" Dibao found Qiao Xiaoxuan and the other four and shouted harshly.

In addition to the shouting Dibao, eight county magistrates arranged the servants stationed in Wangxian Town, as well as four Qiao Xiaoxuan brothers who were walking home. There were no more people on the street. Qiao Xiaoxuan and the other four little brothers quickly accelerated their pace and ran home as soon as they heard the scolding of Dibao.

"Stop, don't run, you four little bastards, don't rush home, stop! You four little rabbits put up your sharp ears for me and listen to it. Now they all follow my orders and give me door-to-door examinations, and transport all the children under the age of ten who are infected with the child's disease, whether dead or alive, to Wangxian Temple!" Di Bao asked in a fierce voice.

It is not the idea of the local protection or the servants stationed in Wangxian Town to transport all the children who have died of their children to Wangxian Temple.

is an order given by the servant to the county magistrate, Wangxian Town is a child infected with the death of a child.

Qiao Xiaoxuan stared at Dibao's eyes and said, "You are obviously asking us to die. We won't go."

Dibao sneered and said, "Little rabbit, if you dare not listen to me, don't do what I said, and do it honestly, now I will send you back to my hometown in Xitian." With that, he pulled out a machete from his waist and waved it a few times in front of Qiao Xiaoxuan's eyes. Qiao Xiaoxuan's eyes hurt.

Soon, Qiao Xiaoxuan's four little brothers pushed a wheelbrick to transport people infected with this child's death to Wangxian Temple.

The four little brothers are relatively powerful at similar ages in the village. The four of them work together and are barely competent.

Five or six hours later, more than 80 little hairy children have gathered inside and outside the Wangxian Temple. The little hairy children lay on the ground in a mess, and the green pus on their bodies were cracking little by little, and the smelly green pus quickly spread into the air.

Several of the three or four-year-old children have been confused and talking nonsense.

Even those little children who are still a little awake are still staring at the roof and waiting to die.

Qiao Xiaoxuan led three little brothers to sit on the open space in front of Wangxian Temple. Dozen meters ahead, seven or eight big men were patrolling back and forth with knives. One is to monitor the four cubs to prevent the four cubs from running away, and the other is to prevent the parents of the children infected with the child from coming to make trouble.

It is worth mentioning that Qiao Xiaoxuan and the four other little brothers are lucky that there is no abnormality in their bodies, and there is no such deadly little green pus. And at noon, each of the four little brothers got two big steamed buns.

Qiao Xiaoxuan didn't say a word. He bit the steamed buns and soon ate the two big buns into his stomach. His spirit suddenly came up, and his limbs were no longer as weak as before.

After that, he lay down and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep.

However, Qiao Xiaoxuan is pretending to be asleep and thinking about how to escape: he can't escape during the day, and there are strong men patrolling in the first half of the night. It seems that he can only wait until two or three o'clock in the morning to escape.

Li Guisheng took a rice bowl full of clear water one after another and fed the children in the Wangxian Temple who were breathing hard one by one.

Qiao Xuan watched Li Guisheng walk back and forth and scooped up water with rice bowls and fed water to the children infected with the disease. His lips were opened a few times and wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed in his throat.
