Chapter 241: An Empty City
When Bai Yuxi saw him coming, he stretched out his hand to support his somewhat sore head and said: "The disaster relief that was said to be good, now it is like investigating a case, and the people don't know where to go, how to provide disaster relief." ”
"You have to look for it, now that the snow is so big that you can't see far, and it's not easy to find. Ji Yun answered, even if his martial arts are strong, he can't solve this matter.
"It's not an option to sit here like this, we each take a team of people out to look for it, we can't delay any longer, and the disaster relief must have a result as soon as possible. Bai Yuxi put his hand down and cut the railway.
"We're fine, but those ordinary people ...... Cough...... People who are not good at martial arts are afraid that they will not be able to walk for long. Hongyunyan reminded.
"You don't need them to follow, you and I will each lead a team of people and let Lord Lin stay here. Bai Yuxi immediately said, "I took Yunyan and Bai Li, as well as February, you and my two brothers, and Qin Xianzi, his health is much better, I use the best medicine, and nothing will happen." ”
"Okay, I'll go inform them. Ji Yun nodded and said, "I can't just take them, I have to bring a few people from the army, otherwise they will be suspicious." "Those people are not actually considered the army, but he really can't think of what to call them, they are more disciplined than officers and soldiers, but they are not as good as the army.
"No problem, don't go too far, when the food and water are almost consumed, you will come back, people can't fight against the sky, and they will freeze to death outside. Bai Yuxi sighed.
"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough. Ji Yun turned around and left as he spoke.
Bai Yuxi still needs to explain some things to Ouyang Yi, and it is more reassuring to keep him here, otherwise he is afraid that Lin Choujiang will do something without thinking about it at that time, and those imperial doctors also need to be taken with them.
Bai Yuxi asked Bai Li to prepare things, and by the way, he informed them that Qianqian didn't know martial arts, so of course he stayed here.
When it was time to set off, she found that there were still a lot of people, and there were six people in the martial arts, who were now also her subordinates, who let her have a high salary and good benefits, and become her subordinates, with few things and good days, what can you do well.
Ji Yun had already brought the couple back, and they were going out to find someone, so they naturally needed a guide, and they just happened to bring one with them.
The couple was also willing, and their parents were not at home, and they left the house because they learned that they had contracted the plague, thinking that they could not pass it on to their parents, but they did not see them when they returned, and of course they had to follow them.
Ji Yun and the others took the man and the group to the east with an umbrella.
Bai Yuxi and the others walked to the west.
According to them, there are the most villages on these two sides, and there are also some low mountains, in which caves can be dug to hide people, and they are usually places for families to put some things.
On the road, messy footprints were left behind, because the heavy snow did not stop, and the footprints were immediately covered.
Bai Yuxi asked the woman, "Did you feel anything strange when the plague happened?"
"Strange place?" The woman was ordinary-looking, very realistic-looking, and her complexion was a little dark, like a peasant girl who had been working all year round.
"It's something that doesn't happen often, something that's different from what it doesn't happen on weekdays. Bai Yuxi thought she didn't understand.
The woman said as she walked, "County Lord Qincha, I understand, I'm just thinking about it." ”
"You recall. Bai Yuxi held an umbrella and walked side by side with her, the wind was not strong, but on the snow, the voice didn't seem so clear.
She recalled, "It felt...... There is nothing strange about it, but if I want to say that it is strange, there are many fewer beggars on the street, and I thought they had changed places at the time, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is not because they are too dirty, that the plague is generated. ”
Bai Yuxi's expression did not change, and said: "The disappearance of the beggars does not mean that the plague was produced by them, if it is really what you think, then there is no plague every day in the world." ”
"Alas, I also said it casually, guessing blindly, the county lord Qincha is a miracle doctor, and what he said is right. The woman laughed.
Bai Yuxi has a new understanding of her, she looks like a very honest person, but she is still careful, she can please people, and she is also a filial person.
All the way to the west, several people said a few words from time to time, and Bai Yuxi also knew more about this Tingzhou through the woman's mouth.
The woman didn't know much about it, and most of it was surmising.
Since the flood in Tingzhou, the prefect of Tingzhou committed suicide, Tingzhou has become very chaotic, people's hearts are unstable, some people even become thieves, robbing and killing people, and then the plague appeared, everyone was in danger, and people continued to escape from Tingzhou, and the plague spread to several nearby states.
Two hours later, the people saw the village, and it was getting dark.
But they saw the fire.
"Miss, there is a fire, there must be people living inside, look at this light, I am afraid there are a lot of people. Bai Li walked in front and said.
"Be careful, it could be those people. After saying that, she felt that she was too worried, if it was those people, Fuyao would remind her.
Fuyao was now in her arms, sticking out her little head, and looked at the mountain behind the village, it was a very high mountain, it was dark, but she could feel the smoke on the mountain, because it was not real, she didn't warn it.
"I see, miss, you are here first. After Bai Li finished speaking, he walked forward, and the heavy snow in the afternoon covered the roads of the village.
When she got closer, she found that there were many footprints on the ground, and the snow in front of the door had been cleared, but every house was closed.
She came to a house, turned sideways, held a hidden weapon in her left hand, and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone in the house?"
For a while, I didn't talk to him.
Bai Li knocked on the door again and said, "Kind-hearted people in the house, please open the door." Her knock on the door became more urgent.
"Who are you?" said an old woman from inside the room.
She could feel the people in the room feeling a little uneasy, as if they were afraid of something.
"Kind-hearted person, can you open the door, the snow is very heavy outside, my young lady and I have passed here, I really can't stand the cold, please ask the old woman to take us in for one night, as soon as the morning dawns, we will leave." Bai Li said in a tone of joy and pleading.
"Ahem...... Ahem, where are you from?"
The people in the room coughed heavily, as if they were stuck in something, a sound she had heard from people with the plague, but she wasn't sure.
"We came from Yunzhou to find our relatives who had been separated. Bai Li casually panicked.
The people in the house fell silent, and after a while said, "You can go, you can't live here, and I will hurt you." ”
"Grandma. ”
A childish voice sounded, weak as if it was about to die, if it weren't for Bai Li's deep internal strength, maybe he wouldn't have heard this sound.
