The next day, the sky rained again with a light drizzle.
Concerned about Li Xiang's physical condition, I learned that the red rash has shown signs of subsiding, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After having breakfast, he went to crowded places to help cut down trees and build temporary shelters.
In daily life, there are constant rumors and gossip here; when people have nothing better to do, they tend to focus on others' business.
He always turns a deaf ear to gossip.
I didn't expect to hear words like infectious disease, Li Hua and his daughter today.
"What infectious disease?"
After the flood, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.
Now they are on the mountain, there is no corpse of human or animal, and the probability of getting sick is not high.
Plus the water they drink is from a spring on the mountain, so basically there's no source of infection.
So where did the infectious diseases in their mouths come from?
After he understood the cause and effect of things, he was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Never thought that mother and daughter went out yesterday, but suffered such a great grievance.
Thinking of Li Xiang getting up early in the morning, that face full of red acne, couldn't help but bring a touch of heartache.
Especially when he saw that those who said these things were mostly people from Li's village and Lian's village, he became unhappy.
It seems that not only Lian Fu Gui Xian, but also Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most extreme among the extremes.
Mu Yan's gaze was fixed, locking onto Li family's eldest daughter-in-law, also known as Li Hua's elder aunt Zhao Lihong, and said in a cold tone.
"What infectious disease? Auntie doesn't understand so don't talk nonsense, little sister didn't get any infectious disease."
Zhao Lihong was chatting enthusiastically with the woman next to her when she was suddenly slapped in the face by a half-grown child, and her expression immediately turned ugly.
"Hmph, where did this little brat come from? Saying I'm talking nonsense? Saying I don't understand? Heh heh, so you think you understand?"
"Yesterday, that dead girl's red rash wasn't just seen by me,"
"Everyone has seen it, you say I don't understand, does everyone else not understand either?"
"Besides, what's with this 'little sister' business? Who are you?"
"When did I meet that granddaughter of mine? What she's got isn't a contagious disease, what is it?"
Several wives nearby heard it and also came over to size up Mu Yan, and someone really recognized him.
"Huh? Isn't he that messenger kid from Wangjia Village? If it weren't for him, who knows how many people would have died in this flood!"
"Speak more politely!"
As soon as they heard this, several men also came over and patted Mu Yan's shoulder with a show of force.
"You few old women, always gossiping about others when you have nothing better to do."
"This child is a good kid, he has been helping everyone build a wooden shed recently, you are not allowed to bully him."
"Doll, you're a young man, don't mix with those old ladies,"
"Go with your uncle over there, we'll be eating soon, eat more today!"
Mu Yan smiled gratefully at those men and then turned around to look at Zhao Lihong, saying coldly.
"I'm saying it again, Hua Yi's daughter Li Xiang, she didn't contract the disease,"
"The rashes on her body are just allergic hives, they will go away in a few days, don't spread rumors."
"Urticaria?" The word sounds familiar.
"You're saying that child just has an allergy? Not a contagious disease?"
Moyan looked and finally saw someone who understood, and nodded immediately.
"Yes, she just didn't know what she was allergic to, and it's already less red this morning,"
As for strawberry allergy, it's better not to mention it. After all, he really hasn't seen strawberries this season, and mentioning it would only lead to ridicule.
Zhao Lihong was very displeased with the child's gaze at her and immediately sneered and curled her lips.
"You speak as if it's true, so I'll ask you, how did you know?"
"I remember them saying they lived in Nanshan, huh, maybe?"
"It's like this, there are tigers on South Mountain, everyone knows that, so they all live in this area."
"Why did the mother and daughter run south of the mountain?"
"Then you won't be afraid of being taken away by a tiger in the middle of the night?"
