But Bai Erlang said: "Smallpox was introduced into the Central Plains from foreign countries. If they are afraid of smallpox, they should not go to the west. The farther west you go, the more people will get smallpox there, right?"
Nie Canjun didn't read much, so he only knew that smallpox was terrible, but he really didn't know where it came from, so he couldn't help but tilt his head and ask, "Did smallpox spread from the Western Regions to the Central Plains?"
Because Man Bao is a doctor, Bai Erlang searched some medical books with them, and added the discussion between her and Bai Shan, so he knew more. Too many people died, and the disease was rampant. Some soldiers got the disease, and after recovering from the disease, their faces were covered with pockmarks, so it was called smallpox."
"This disease was spread back to the Central Plains with the soldiers, and then this disease has not disappeared for some reason." Bai Erlang paused and said: "I heard Man Bao say that it is very powerful, and one of them survived. Even if it is buried in dust, exposed to the sun, or washed away by rain, it may live for a year, or even longer."
Nie Canjun and the others were shocked.
"Besides, it can also reside in other animals, so smallpox always breaks out at any time. Unless everyone has smallpox seeds in their bodies, the disease can't be eradicated."
Nie Canjun and the others began to ponder. They never felt that the vaccinia prescription was so important.
So Nie Canjun listened attentively. Although there was still very little information, he still heard some.
While recording, he wondered, "Did General Guo not care at first? Although it's a bit difficult to find out, it's not true that he didn't hear any news, right?"
Mr. Zhuang lowered his eyes and said, "The Western Regions are not stable. General Guo is so busy, I'm afraid he doesn't have enough energy for it."
Nie Canjun thought about the busy Anxi Governor's Mansion during this time, and felt that what Mr. Zhuang said was right, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
I feel that General Guo didn't take His Majesty's will to heart, otherwise why would they need to make this trip
Although their trip is not bad.
But before Nie joined the army to express his dissatisfaction, General Guo led the army in person.
Of course, these have little to do with their missions, the Duhu Mansion only sent someone to remind them not to go west and south recently if they have nothing to do.
They were going to fight Kucha, and if the members of the mission were accidentally injured by accident when they ran there, they would have to be loyal to the country.
Mr. Zhuang came forward to answer, and after sending the person out, he turned to look at Bai Erlang, "Did you hear that?"
Before Bai Erlang said anything, Nie Canjun hummed bluntly: "Lord Zhuang, General Guo is too proud."
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "He also has good intentions."
During this period of time, they fought against each other in the ring, and basically paid back what he had done to Liu Huan some time ago, but the four young men Bai Erlang showed up, making General Guo unable to use many methods, but his son did not Standing on his side, even if they want a conflict between their "little youngsters".
Under such circumstances, it is rare for General Guo to send someone to remind them.
But General Guo was obviously not so kind. He had to send someone to inform the mission under his son's reminder, and he snorted and said to Guo Zhao, "We told you, they may not appreciate it."
Guo Zhao said, "Father, it's their business whether they accept it or not, but we have fulfilled our responsibilities in protecting the government, so that's enough."
He didn't want his father to be entangled in old feuds, so he changed the subject and said, "Father, the channel has been opened, and the letter has been sent out more than half a month ago. It should have reached Yumen Pass by now. I don't know if the imperial court will send troops to help."
General Guo said: "Your Majesty is ambitious. The Western Turks have always been enemies of the imperial court. These small countries in the Western Regions are swaying left and right. They take the food and silk from our Great Jin, but beg for mercy from the Western Turks. This time it is just a plague in Xiazhou. Then I became rebellious, His Majesty will definitely not tolerate it, don't worry, as long as the document enters Beijing, His Majesty will definitely send reinforcements."
There are a lot of people in Kucha, there are a lot of soldiers and horses, and there are Western Turks behind, so it is really difficult to defeat them all by relying on the thousands of soldiers and horses in Anxi Duhufu.
But they can eat some first, and there is little general Meng watching over Tubo, so it's not a big problem.
Guo Zhao agreed, so he went to Kucha with his father.
When the war broke out, General Guo didn't have time to talk to Liu Huan, and his old enemies were temporarily put aside.
Bai Shan and the others are in the wilderness at this time, they are far away from Kucha, not to mention Xizhou, so naturally they don't know about it.
They have already passed a desert, which is a grassland. They asked people in nearby villages yesterday, and they also saw fireballs falling, and one of them was going to be further ahead.
In their words, "First there was a loud noise, and we ran out to see a huge fireball falling from above our heads, fortunately it went to the desert over there, and did not hit our village, otherwise we would die. "
When Bai Shan heard this, he immediately said to Man Bao, "It shouldn't be far away."
Man Bao also felt that it was not far away. After they had been out for so long, they finally got good news. Just as they were about to have fun, Teacher Mo, who had been busy all along, also went online.
He urgently contacted Man Bao, knowing that it was daytime and it was difficult to talk to her, so he sent her an email directly and told her, "The main system agreed, and it will upgrade the system 0531 to a level, which will be shared by the alliance and the encyclopedia. .”
Man Bao's eyes brightened, and Ke Ke also beeped, notifying: "The upgrade is in progress, it will be temporarily shut down, please inform the host."
After saying that, the voice disappeared.
Manbao can only see the space of the system, and even the mall is currently offline.
But Man Bao was very happy, reached out and took Bai Shan's hand, shook it, and said happily: "Shall we stop for a day?"
Bai Shan turned his head and asked her, "Are you tired?"
Man Bao shook his head and whispered to him, "We can wait for a good news."
Bai Shan didn't ask what the good news was. He nodded and said to Daji, "Find a place where we can camp nearby. Let's rest for a day and leave tomorrow."
Daji responded and asked people to find the water source. It would be more convenient to station by the water.
Man Bao climbed up a small slope, looked into the distance and said, "I don't know if the other team has news."
After coming out, after inquiring about the news with some nearby villages, Bai Shan perfected the direction map.
Then after they entered the desert, they divided their directions before facing the known tiankeng. They only took two villagers as guides, and the rest formed another team and headed in another direction. According to They went in the direction Bai Shan calculated, and I don't know if they can find it.
But if they can't, they should turn around in a few days.
Man Bao was awakened in the early hours of the morning. She noticed the familiar squeaking sound, and immediately got up from the blanket, slightly closed her eyes, and contacted Ke Ke.
Keke updated the system, and the tablet greeted the host, "Host, the upgrade is complete, and the scanning program is restarting..."
Manbao can hear the joy from its voice.
