Chapter 21 The Son of Destiny
’Cut’.
The wooden door of the fence was pushed open from outside, and a middle-aged man and woman walked in.
The young girl who was hugging in the yard was startled and hurriedly separated.
"Dad, mom, are you back?" said the boy.
Influence of Zhao Qinghe, humans in the Cangtian world call their parents directly, not parents in ancient China.
The girl's face was blushing and she called her uncle and aunt in a slight manner.
The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other and smiled. They saw the scene of the young and girl hugging each other before, but they didn't say anything.
The two children are already seventeen or eighteen years old and are old. They will be able to get the marriage done in a few years.
However, the middle-aged woman thought to herself that she must remind Xiaoqiong to kiss and hug her in private, but she must not take the last step before getting married at the age of twenty.
Otherwise, if you get pregnant, it will be troublesome.
In order to implement the regulations that the Virgin of Qinghe and to consider their own reproduction and continuation, all tribes have strict regulations that men and women before marriage must not have sex.
If there is a perpetrator, not only will he be scolded by other people in the tribe, but the whole family may be expelled from the tribe.
"You are all hungry, I'll go cook." The young mother entered the kitchen.
The young father walked to the young girl, looked at the crushed grass plants in their pottery jars, and asked curiously: "Xiao Qi, is this a new herb?"
"Yes, dad, I feel that it has a high chance of curing your back pain." The boy replied.
"Haha, OK." The young father laughed.
He believed the boy's words, and the two herbs before had already brought him too many surprises.
He was very happy. Not only could the back pain that had bothered him for many years be cured, but he was also happy that his son had the ability to find herbs.
This is a legendary herb.
Originally, their family was just a marginal figure in the tribe, and even because he only gave birth to this son, he was looked down upon by others.
In this era, only those who have more sons can have a hard waist. When paying homage to ancestors and greetings to the New Year, the whole family will go up, not to mention the glory.
The few sons are more or less despised by others.
But since his son found the herb, all this has changed. No one dared to look down on them anymore and his status in the tribe has increased greatly.
Even the tribe leader treated their family very well and took care of them from all walks of life. His son had to read all the precious collections of classics.
After feeling a little emotional, the young father said another thing.
"Just now, I saw your sixth uncle. He had just returned from the Niu tribe in the south. He heard from him that many people in the Niu tribe had the same strange disease. They had red spots all over their bodies, had high fevers and had constant coughs. Two or three were serious, and they had died of illness. Others were getting worse and worse. It was estimated that it would be difficult to survive in the end. Alas, I don't know what happened. Others said that those people did unethical things and were punished by God."
"Many people have the same disease? This... this is not a God's punishment. It is likely that it is an infectious disease, or it can be called a plague." The boy said tightly in his heart.
These days, he has been searching for knowledge about herbs and diseases.
In the sixth volume of "Common Knowledge Encyclopedia" left by the Virgin of the Green Lotus, records of infectious diseases have been seen.
Although there are only a few words, the description is very similar to what his father said.
In the same area, many identical cases will appear. This is formed through human-to-human transmission.
"Infectious disease? Tell me carefully." The young father frowned.
Immediately, the boy introduced the infectious disease in detail.
"Hiss, there is still a disease that can spread humans?"
After listening, the young father took a breath, which was so terrible.
Then, his face changed again and he said nervously: "Your sixth uncle just came back from the Niu tribe, he wouldn't have been infected, right? Moreover, I just saw him... Your mother and I shouldn't have gone home. What should we do if we want to infect you again."
"Dad, don't worry, this is just our guess. Is it true or not?"
The boy comforted, "Besides, didn't Uncle Six say that not everyone in the Niu tribe has contracted that disease? Even if it is an infectious disease, it may not be so easy to get infected. I just met once, so it should be fine."
The young father looked a little slow, but his face was still a little worried.
He pondered for a while and said, "No matter whether it is, it is better for us to avoid it now. The Niu tribe is so close to us, and there are personnel exchanges every day. If that is really an infectious disease, it will probably be spread soon."
"It's okay to avoid it, but where should we avoid it?" the young man asked.
"When I went to the mountains, I once discovered a very secret cave that was very suitable for living."
"Would you like to remind others?" the young man said worriedly again. If this was really a powerful infectious disease, it was a plague. After it was spread, none of the people in the tribe might survive.
"No, if there are too many people, it will only cause riots. If you hide in the mountains, you will also be easily infected."
The young father shook his head and sighed.
"If it is really an infectious disease, it will be a terrible disaster. Whether we can survive can only ask for more blessings."
"Okay, hurry up and clean up. Before dark, you will arrive at that cave."
Immediately, the family began to pack up their things, and the young mother stopped cooking.
When packing up the herbs he picked, the boy thought silently, maybe he could find herbs to treat that infectious disease.
But after looking at his parents and Xiao Qiong, he gave up this idea again.
Forget it, I promised Xiaoqiong that I would never eat flowers and plants again.
After packing up, the family of four rushed to the depths of Qingluo Mountain not far away.
They were already on the edge of the tribe, and they chose to leave when there was no one outside, so no one noticed them.
...
"My destiny son... chose to escape."
Above the sky and at a higher latitude, Cao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.
More than five hundred years have passed, and he has not changed much, but the expression on his face is a little more indifferent than before.
He has been in the "Tianwei" state and has been in the lower realm for more than 500 years. For him, it only took more than 500 minutes, less than ten hours.
But using the 'Sky Eye', we can watch the cycle of time in the lower realm, changing the world, changing lives from generation to generation, and the birth, old age, sickness and death of countless human beings, joys and sorrows.
Even in the fast forward mode, it still had a slight impact on him and his mind and character was slightly sublimated.
There is a little more meaning of 'day'.
