The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 259 Woman

Zhang Kai was a little puzzled as to why his city lord did not allow him to continue the interrogation, but instead, after looking at him, followed the woman's words and took over the topic in a nonchalant manner.

But the city lord must have his own ideas, and he doesn't need to interfere with or destroy his own city lord's plans.

So Zhang Kai lowered his head and stood behind Zhang Wenlai without saying a word.

Seeing that they did not continue with the previous question, the woman's brows unconsciously relaxed, and her attitude towards them suddenly became much better than before.

But it's time for them to leave here.

The woman thought so in her heart, and her face showed the intention of driving him away. She didn't say it directly, but when Zhang Wenlai deliberately talked to her, her words and deeds carried the intention of driving him away.

Zhang Wenlai naturally saw it but did nothing, just said a few words. The woman's eyes trembled when she heard it, and after knowing the noble status of the person in front of her, the fear in her eyes became even worse. But she couldn't say the words to drive her away, so she could only lower her head and let the city lord in front of her and the few people around him enter her small shabby house.

There was nothing hidden in this room that could not be seen. There were only a few simple pieces of furniture placed there.

The others did not look at the furniture for long, but instead focused their attention on a thatched curtain not far away that ran from top to bottom and seemed to block the view inside.

Zhang Wenlai asked the woman what the curtain was used for.

When the woman heard him ask this, she knew that she couldn't avoid the question, but she couldn't speak the truth. She just looked at him in silence. Finally, when Zhang Wenlai wanted to lift the thatched curtain to find out, she spoke, but her intermittent sentences sounded a bit forced. After listening to the woman, Zhang Wenlai nodded, but didn't touch the curtain for the time being.

Just now the woman said that her husband was ill, and very ill, and she was afraid that the disease would infect them, or herself, so she placed a thatched curtain here.

While they were talking here, the man inside the thatched curtain was also awakened by their words. The woman heard the rustling sound inside and knew that her husband wanted to get up, so she hurried to go in. However, just as she took a step, she seemed to think of something, and tied the prepared scarf tightly around the lower half of her face at her sleeves. Then she glanced at Zhang Wenlai and walked into the curtain.

It had been almost half an incense stick of time since the woman went behind the curtain, and they had been standing there waiting for almost half an incense stick of time as well.

When the woman came out, Zhang Wenlai hurriedly went to meet her and asked, "Would it be convenient for you to tell me about your husband's condition?"

When the woman saw that the reason they had not left was because of this question, she was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, nodded hesitantly, and agreed.

In fact, it will be exposed sooner or later, so why delay it any longer?

"My husband is a doctor. Some days ago, he suddenly caught a cold. At first, he didn't pay attention and said he would be fine in a few days. After hearing what he said, even though I was worried, I couldn't say much. Then, two days passed, and by the time he realized it wasn't a cold, it was too late. At that time, my husband suddenly fainted. I had a lot of trouble helping him to the bed, but he woke up not long after. However, in the next few days, he would faint from time to time, and in the end he couldn't do anything, just like now. A doctor can't treat himself, and my husband was helpless, so he had to ask other doctors to see what disease he had, but in the end, they still found nothing."

Zhang Wenlai listened to the woman and was about to say something, but when he saw that she was about to open her mouth, he knew that she had more to say, so he did not interrupt her and just stood there quietly waiting for her to finish. "When I was looking for a doctor to treat my husband, one time a doctor accidentally dropped a medicine bowl and broke it. My husband went to pick it up and scratched his fingertips. The doctor treated my husband's wound and left with the medicine box. But later, when I went to invite the doctor, I saw that the door of his pharmacy was closed. I heard from people around that the doctor was sick, and it was a very serious madness, so he couldn't come to the pharmacy. Recently, I couldn't see him. I felt that this was unusual, so I told my husband, but my husband said that he might have contracted the disease from him."

At this point, the woman seemed to choke up, and then continued:

"I didn't believe it at first, but then I heard from my husband that some doctors he was friendly with had told him that there was a strange disease in the east of the city recently. Many people were infected and the doctors were helpless. In the end, they died of the disease. The symptoms of these people were different. The only thing in common was that they were in a coma for half a day. The rest of the time, they were either going crazy or were like me, suffering from illness and lying on the sickbed all day long..."

At this point, the woman finally couldn't go on. She had been suffering from her husband's illness all day, and she was worried and terrified that he would pass away one day, leaving her behind. She didn't know who to talk to about her emotions, and at this moment she couldn't hold it back any longer, so she covered her face and burst into tears.

Zhang Wenlai just stood there and glanced at the miserable crying woman. The handkerchief on her face was half wet by her tears. He thought for a moment, then handed her his unused handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the tears from her face. After she took it, he stood up and remained silent.

"So this strange disease is still contagious, but I'm not sure exactly how it's transmitted. Maybe it's through physical contact, like breathing, or maybe it's through contact with the patient's blood. I just don't know if it can be transmitted through sweat..."

Zhang Kai on the side muttered quietly, trying to make a summary.

Zhang Wenlai listened to Zhang Kai's muttering, and a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he set his sights on the woman who was still sobbing softly. Although it felt immoral to disturb others when they were crying, Zhang Wenlai decided to be an immoral person for the sake of conclusion.

So he quickly squatted down, took two steps back, and after retreating to a safe social distance, he raised his head and asked hurriedly:

"Why did you wear a scarf when you went in just now? Also, can you tell me if your husband noticed anything?"

The woman was still crying, but when she heard Zhang Wenlai's question, she hiccuped and didn't know whether to continue crying or not. But she could see the anxiety in Zhang Wenlai's eyes.
