I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Seeing Wen Shutang so excited, Xiao Ze was slightly stunned. He didn't know why she reacted so strongly, but from her reaction, Xiao Ze also knew that things should not be that simple.

He pursed his lips and drank the water in the cup in one gulp, moistening his throat and suppressing the soreness in his throat before speaking.

"Yes, it was the kind of red pus, very scary. I roughly remember that he had a fever for about three or four days, because a few days ago, the teacher had just finished the test on our recitation, and he came to tell me that he was feeling a little uncomfortable. Then three or four days later, he went to ask for leave from the teacher, came back, packed up his things and left the academy. When he left, I saw the red rash on his face. From the time he asked for leave until today, it has been about seven or eight days."

Xiao Ze told everything he knew.

With every word he spoke, Wen Shutang's expression became uglier.

If Xiao Ze remembered correctly, then this matter was really troublesome.

Judging from his description, this is most likely the highly contagious smallpox virus.

The smallpox virus has an acute onset, with obvious symptoms of fever, sore throat, cough, chills, headache, fatigue, and back pain, which usually last for one to three days.

Then the chance shifts to the next stage, the rash stage, during which the infected person will gradually develop rashes, pus patches, and large red patches on their faces. Finally, these patches will spread throughout the body, causing constant itching.

If not treated promptly, the infected person will scratch because the rash on the body is too itchy, and eventually scratch his skin to pieces and lose his life completely.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. In this era when medical resources are extremely scarce, once you get this disease, you will definitely die.

Moreover, this smallpox virus is highly contagious. It can be transmitted through excessive contact with an infected person, and even infection can be spread through breathing if one is in the same room.

This highly contagious virus is generally referred to as the plague.

Once the plague spreads, the worst possible situation could be that the entire town is infected and dies.

Seeing Wen Shutang lost in thought, Xiao Ze couldn't help but get a little nervous. He asked cautiously, "Mom, is this disease difficult to cure?"

After hearing Xiao Ze's voice, Wen Shutang came back to her senses. She pursed her lips for a moment and then found her own voice.

"Aze, you are a big boy now. You have the right to know the truth. Next, I will tell you what disease you have, but don't panic. Your father and I will stay with you, okay?"

Seeing Wen Shutang's serious look, Xiao Ze's expression also became serious and he nodded in response.

"I understand, mother, don't worry."

Wen Shutang took a deep breath: "The disease you have is called smallpox, to put it bluntly, it is a kind of plague..."

She slowly explained to Xiao Ze the symptoms of smallpox and what it looked like when the disease broke out.

When Xiao Ze heard that he had the plague, his face turned pale. He certainly knew what the plague was.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Mom, please get out quickly. The plague will pass on to you."

Hearing Xiao Ze's words, Wen Shutang was stunned at first, and then a warm feeling emerged in her heart. The first thing this boy thought of was not fear, but that he didn't want to pass the disease on to her.

Wen Shutang softened his voice: "Aze, don't worry, I will cure you, just listen to me, okay?"

Xiao Ze looked up at Wen Shutang's eyes, pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, but don't tell your brothers and sisters about this. And I'll put you in a room alone when we get home, okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Ze nodded, his tone serious.

Xiao Ze has a calm personality. Although he was panicked for a moment when he heard the word plague, he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Just stay here and I'll bring you the food later." Wen Shutang comforted softly.

After seeing Xiao Ze nod, Wen Shutang walked out of the room. She paused, turned a corner and went to the small storage room behind the house.

Wen Shutang closed his eyes and entered the space, walked directly to Xiao Heibian, picked up the chalk and wrote down what he needed.

"Two thousand disposable masks, one thousand protective suits and one thousand bottles of alcohol."

After writing this sentence, the chalk marks on the blackboard disappeared after a while.

Wen Shutang turned his head and saw dozens of boxes of disposable masks, protective clothing and alcohol disinfectant quietly placed in the corner.

She took out a small amount of supplies from the space, placed them in the corner of the small warehouse and covered them with miscellaneous items. She also moved several bags of rice and flour from the space and placed them in the corner.

If it is really the smallpox virus, then we have to take precautions immediately.

Xiao Ze has been attacked now, so she has to take him back to town. Liu Sufen and Wen Qing are both old and weak, and they need these things to save their lives.

Wen Shutang was thinking about how to tell Liu Sufen. After all, she was afraid of scaring the old couple.

After hiding the things, Wen Shutang opened a bottle of alcohol and disinfected himself completely before walking out.

The family had already started to prepare for dinner. When Liu Sufen saw Wen Shutang coming out, she immediately shouted, "Xiao Qiu'er, go and call Aze to eat."

"Mom, Aze is not feeling well. I will bring him food later. Let's eat first." Wen Shutang explained, and then called Xiao Yizhuo over.

Xiao Yizhuo was about to approach her when Wen Shutang stopped him: "Stop. Just stand there. Go to the kitchen and prepare a meal for Aze. I'll take it to him. Put the meal on the ground and step away. I'll take it."

Seeing her abnormal appearance, Xiao Yizhuo frowned slightly and looked at her seriously.

"What happened?"

Wen Shutang pursed his lips, turned his head and glanced at the happy family in the distance, and whispered: "Go and prepare first, I'll tell you in detail when we get back."

Xiao Yizhuo looked at her steadily, and nodded after a moment: "Okay."

After saying that, he went to prepare dinner for Xiao Ze. He put the dishes and chopsticks on the ground as Wen Shutang requested and stepped away.

Wen Shutang waited until he had retreated to a certain place before walking forward and picking up the bowl and chopsticks: "I'll eat with Aze, you stay with mom and dad and take care of Aye and Wan'er. Don't let anyone look for me and Aze."

"Okay." Xiao Yizhuo only replied with one word. He didn't know why Wen Shutang was so abnormal, but he knew that Wen Shutang must have her reasons for doing so.

Xiao Yizhuo had a bad feeling in his heart, he pursed his lips tightly and then turned back to Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan.

Seeing that he was the only one coming, Liu Sufen asked, "Xiao Zhuo, where is Xiao Qiu'er? Isn't she going to eat?"

"Madam was worried about Aze, so she ate with Aze in the house. Mother-in-law doesn't have to worry about them." Xiao Yizhuo responded calmly.

"So that's how it is. Well, come on, let's eat." Liu Sufen nodded in understanding without any doubt.

Xiao Yizhuo turned his head and took a deep look at the small house to the west.
