Chapter 13: Give Me to Him
After Wu Xiaofu drew a rune at the door, Huang Chengju watched Tangxi push open the city gate and enter, leaving only one hand shaking without looking back.
Rao knew that the other party was not an idle person, and he was invited to have some skills. But thinking that none of the people who went in these days came out, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart about pushing the good big girl into the fire pit.
Huang Chengju circled around the spot twice, but he didn't have the courage to go in, after all, he could only deliver a meal for thousands of miles when he went in, so it was better to stay outside and soothe the hearts of the people.
Huang Chengju smoothed out the little knots in his heart, and strode back to the camp, ready to personally lead the team to strengthen the security of several sheds.
Don't the plague has escaped, and because of petty theft, there was a lawsuit in a fight. Otherwise, he would not be able to save face as a county magistrate.
Over there, Tangxi entered Qinghuan County, and the houses in the county were empty, and occasionally a few hens could be seen flying over the street with their wings.
It should be those who are sick, and there is no way to take care of these hens and ducks to escape from the cage hungry and run around the streets chased by some equally hungry dogs.
They clearly saw such a big living person as Tangxi, but none of them cared about her, they were not afraid and did not come forward to beg for food, but when she did not exist.
Tangxi can't afford to have a heart for these dirty little guys, so he took advantage of the opportunity of no one to take a leisurely look around the county, not to mention that except for not seeing a big living person in this county, the others are not bad.
The street houses are quiet and neat, and the mountains behind them are like green screens, which is a picturesque scenery. If this demonic energy hadn't messed in, it would have ruined the color grading.
Because Huang Chengju drove all the sick people to the nearby small village at that time, and the others withdrew from the county seat, Tangxi could only walk slowly alone for such a long distance.
She sighed and was resigned to walking by herself, when suddenly a straw basket around her moved, and an apple rolled out of it, and she happened to meet the tip of Tangxi's shoes, and a child rolled out of it.
Tang Xi took a closer look and found that the child's exposed arm was covered with red sores, and even a little bit on her face, although she didn't have a dense phobia, she was still uncomfortable.
A larger boy in the back also climbed out of the barrel, scooped the little girl into his arms, and glared at her with a pair of eyes: "Who are you, why did you come in?" ”
Tang Xi stood still and didn't move, looking at him without any weapons, he said: "I'm Tang Xi, the demon crosser, and your county magistrate invited me to save my life." ”
After she finished speaking, she remembered that she didn't have any proof on her, but it didn't matter, the two children were dirty, and the red sores on their bodies looked even more terrifying, but what was even stranger was that the two of them were wearing summer clothes.
In the winter, Tangxi couldn't wait to add cotton to the cloak to wrap himself tightly, but the two children wore short sleeves.
The child's eyes lit up obviously when he heard the three words of the demon master, and the younger one struggled to get out of his brother's arms, and pounced on the feet of Tangxi like a little wolf cub, Tangxi moved back two steps, and the little girl hurriedly protected the apple in her arms.
The older boy turned to Tangxi and asked, "The county magistrate really asked you to come over, can you save us?"
Tang Xi nodded and asked, "Why did you come here, aren't you all sealed in the village?" ”
The boy's face showed a little anger, looked at Tang Xi and explained: "I can't stay in the village anymore, the rich people have gone to save their lives, we want to see if there is anything to eat, and... There are no people who have left money. ”
Tang Xi's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked a little puzzled: "Help, didn't you say that the plague can't be cured?"
The boy was blown up as if he had been stepped on by the root of his tail: "That's what you said outside?" His tone suddenly became very excited: "Originally, yes, the doctor and the police officer who came in were infected with the epidemic, and everyone originally discussed, but if it was really not cured, they simply went into the village together and burned the whole village with fire." ”
Tang Xi then realized that this was the reason why everyone had gathered in the village, and the boy continued: "The night I first arrived in the village, another group of doctors came, and one of them was able to find a way to cure him. ”
Tang Xi tilted his head: "Then why is Huang Chengju like he doesn't know the news at all, if there was a way, you should have come out a long time ago." ”
The boy looked at the young girl holding the apple, touched her head so that she could eat the apple first to quench her hunger and thirst, and said to Tangxi: "That doctor is not a good person, first everyone thought that he could go out, he first boiled a big pot of soup, this soup can relieve the red sores on our body." ”
Tang Xi nodded, the sores on the boy's hands were indeed just scabbed: "When the doctor came, many of us began to break the sores, when I didn't touch it, it was itchy, and it was hot and hot all over my body, and it didn't work with any medicine, but after drinking that bowl of soup, it was much better." ”
Tang Xi asked: "Isn't this a good thing, as long as it's good, it should be able to get better if you drink it a few more times." ”
This is the crux of the matter, if it was really so easy, Qinghuan County would not have asked them for help, the boy said: "At first, we thought the same thing, but the doctor only gave us three times to drink the medicine, and seeing that the wound was about to get better, he didn't give the medicine for free... ”
The boy's stomach growled, and Tang Xi didn't bring anything to eat, but he still took out the chocolate in the bag and handed it to him, and took the little girl doll to find a place to find out about the military situation.
Only then did I know that those people were not getting better, but they couldn't come out.
The doctor didn't know what kind of decoction he boiled, and after drinking it for three days, the sores on everyone's body were much better, and a group of people offered him up as if they had picked up Hua Tuo while he was alive.
When the soup was distributed on the fourth day, the doctor was unwilling to give everyone any more free food, so he stood in front of the house and said, "I can't drink this soup for nothing, everyone has to pay for the soup." ”
This is not a troublesome thing, it is natural to buy medicine and give money, and everyone hurriedly said that they are willing to spend money to buy medicine.
But as soon as the doctor opened his mouth, he was going to pay a sky-high price, a full 300 yuan a bowl, and the poor people couldn't afford it, but the people in the family who had a little family could afford to drink it, and gave money to buy medicine.
After drinking for several days, the thread on his body was gone, and he said, "If you don't have enough money, you can exchange it for food." ”
Someone suggested that he could write a letter to ask his family to send money, but he refused, saying that he might bring the epidemic out.
Tang Xi was a little confused when he heard this, whether this person was a liar who loved money like his life, or a doctor who really had medical skills and medical ethics.
She looked at the little girl doll licking the candy wrapper, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for the other party in her heart, and took out a piece of chocolate and said: "This is my last piece, you eat it slowly, although you are not full, but you are not dizzy from hunger." ”
Although the little girl didn't understand Tangxi's words, she was reluctant to gobble it anymore, and only licked the chocolate on it little by little with her tongue.
The money in the family was taken away by the people who were not infected, and when the money on his body ran out, everyone began to find food for him, and when the food ran out, he was sent to the mountains to help him build an underground palace.
Tang Xi felt touched and frowned and asked, "Then the doctor wants to be the emperor of the soil?" After speaking, he didn't think much about it, if he really wanted to be the emperor of the soil, he could completely expand the epidemic, as long as he could get the only prescription in his hand, no matter how much money he could get.
But after hearing it, Tangxi understood that this guy didn't want money or persuasion, he probably came for this good landscape.
If this place is rid of the demonic energy, it can be said that it is an outstanding person, and there must be a spiritual vein sitting underneath, and this underground palace may be built on the top of the life gate.
It's not that so many people haven't thought about resisting, and it's not enough to tie people up and clean them up, but this doctor has saved several ruffians with medicine, saying that as long as they can listen to him, they will give medicine and drink.
Those who resisted did not use any punishment, but tied the people to the cowshed, and within a few days the people were stinking.
"The corpse looked terrifying, the flesh in the sores was rotten, all blood mixed with pus, and bones could be seen in some places. ”
When he said this, the boy's face was a little pale, and his eyes seemed to see the scene again: "Originally, two or three days were not so serious, and everyone guessed if it was because of what the doctor had done." ”
Although these are just speculations and have no basis, everyone has been deeply dominated by fear, and the requirements of the doctor are even more obedient.
"My mother sent my sister to him, otherwise my sister and I would starve to death, because my sister followed him, so we could come in and find something to eat, but we had to hand over half of what we found. ”
Tangxi was stunned at first when she heard this, but then she reacted, and a kind of pity and annoyance inexplicably appeared in her heart.
This person is simply a bastard, Tang Xi said to the two children: "Do you have a way to bring me back, just say that you have caught me and want to give me to the doctor." ”
If you go in by yourself, you may not be able to see the doctor himself, the gangsters under him may want to take advantage of it, Tangxi is not afraid of them, he has a lot of means, but he doesn't want the doctor to be wary. The boy looked at Tangxi and asked, "Give it to him?"
Tang Xi nodded: "Although I don't know what he is capable of, but only by being close to him can I find a way to deal with the symptoms, I believe that this is not a simple epidemic, he must have some secrets." ”
If it is not an epidemic, the sores on people's bodies cannot be ignored, but Tangxi looked at the thick demonic aura in the sky, no matter what the reason is not to find out the source, the corpses here will soon be all over the field.
