Chapter 504: A Thrilling Scene (Debt Repayment, Shen Tu Mingliang, Four Changes)
Wucheng is plagued. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems to have spread violently all at once, and it can no longer be held back, and it can no longer be steady.
The whole Wucheng, the string in the head snapped, and it broke.
The previous panic, the previous uneasiness, the disappointment with the imperial court, has now reached its peak.
The government also knew that this time it had caused a catastrophe, but it did not dare to let the plague spread. The city was locked down overnight, and all the checkpoints were strictly guarded.
If someone breaks in, they will be killed on the spot.
At this moment, they do not know how much disease is caused by the drought. This plague is an unavoidable and extremely depressing event in the history of Tosan.
Walking on the streets, almost all of the streets looked from afar, and there were people lying on the streets. Shriveled and bloodless, he slowly stopped breathing.
Overnight, thousands of people fell in Wucheng.
The lockdown of the city has made the people's hearts more and more frightened.
The doctors in Wucheng were not even allowed to go out of the city to find medicine. The whole city was sealed. Not half a fly can fly.
Slowly, the people seemed to feel something. On the second day of the lockdown, the people in the city couldn't hold back.
The yellow-faced and thin-skinned people surrounded the government office, and almost everyone had ugly faces, with thin skins and bones. A pair of eyes sank deeply, and the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency.... Why is the city locked, why aren't we allowed to go out!"
"You can go out of the city the day before yesterday, you say, you tell us, why do you want to close the city!"
There was uneasiness and fear on everyone's faces.
There is a drought in the northwest, they know. Wucheng is one of the major drought-stricken areas, and they know that it has the highest number of deaths. Rao is like this, but Wucheng has never been closed.
The day before yesterday, there were thousands of deaths in the city overnight, and more than 2,000 yesterday.
Even the soldiers were covered with a thick veil over their faces and their swords clenched in their hands, as if they were going to be killed if they rushed over.
The swords and spears of the soldiers were aimed at them.
The defensiveness on that face frightened them. There seems to be something terrible going on.
At this moment, everyone never imagined that this would be the largest plague in the history of Wucheng. It has spread almost all over the city, but it has also become the biggest opportunity for Wucheng.
"What do you mean by the veil, are you guarding against us?" said you!!" said a woman with a feverish child in her arms, her face full of anger.
"My child is sick, can you let me out? There is no medicine in the city, my child is sick. Still having a high fever .... Please, will you let us out of the city?" the woman scolded and wept again. I almost knelt down and begged the soldiers.
The soldiers didn't dare to move, but looking at the crowd of people silently watching their people, their hearts were also a little empty.
Next to him seemed to be a general, who turned his head and entered the palace.
The anxious hearts of the people were comforted a little.
As long as you can get out of the city, as long as you can get out of the city, that's not the worst guess. Yes, as long as it's not the worst guess.
All the people were panicked, and they hardly dared to look at the fallen people one by one. The crowd seemed to understand something. Now I just want to get an understanding of the result from the official master.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, the general returned. His face was covered by a veil, but his brows were furrowed, and he could faintly see that he was a little depressed.
Looking up at the people in front of him, he took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the general jerked out his broadsword. Pointing directly at the people in front of him.
He shouted, "Everyone wait for the order!"
"Those who trespass on the official mansion will be killed!"
"Those who trespass on the city gate will be killed!" The big sword in his hand swung heavily, and all the soldiers suddenly unsheathed their swords, and they were all fierce.
In an instant, the atmosphere in front of him became tense.
The people seemed to be a little confused, and suddenly they were cold.
"Everyone stand back, don't get ten meters close to the mansion!" The general seemed to be a little unbearable, but in the end, the long knife pointed straight at the people.
"Wow.... Ah, mother... Mother, it hurts...."The child in the woman's arms seemed to wake up with fright, and suddenly woke up.
Suddenly, he began to cry, coughing violently almost bloody, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be gasping for breath with great difficulty.
"Mother.... Not... Hmm, it hurts.... .....The woman's sleeves were tightly pulled by the little bruised and black hands, her eyes widened, and her little face wrinkled tightly.
Curled up in the woman's arms, crying bitterly, calling her mother over and over again, and the woman was distressed and shed tears.
"Official, official.... Please save my child, my child is crying out in pain.... Official, official, help. My child has a fever, and there is no medicine in the city, sir..... The woman cried loudly with the child in her arms, and crawled straight forward on her knees.
"Official, official, I'll come back after seeing a doctor. He's sick, he's sick..."The woman wept heartbreakingly.
Rao is people behind him are a little soft-hearted.
"You let her out, let's not go out of the city!" A few people in front of him couldn't see it, so they lowered their faces and pointed to the child who kept kowtowing on the ground and his body was constantly twitching.
"yes, we're not going out. Will you let the two of them go out to see a doctor?" the old man gasped deeply.
The old man is well-informed, and his voice is shaking at the moment.
If it weren't for that, I would have been able to get out of the city!
The general seemed to pause and took a slight step back. Suddenly, all the soldiers in front of them drew their swords vigilantly towards the people, quite guarded.
"Don't leave the city! Everyone can't wait to leave the city! If you leave the city, you won't be killed!!" The man's voice trembled, and then he clenched his knife again.
As soon as she finished speaking, the child in the woman's hand twitched violently.
"Ah, mother... Hmm, hmm..... "The child's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and when he only shouted, his mother's eyes widened, and he couldn't shout anything. The whole person convulsed, curled up in a ball, and quickly lost his life.
In an instant, the child was gone.
The woman was stunned and sat down on the ground with snot and tears on her face. Holding the bruised body in his hands, his whole body kept shaking.
"Why? You return my child, you return my child! It's just that you are out of the city to see a doctor, why are you not allowed to go out of the city! Child, my child!" the woman cried, and rushed towards the general.
The general's distracted face instantly froze; "There is no forgiveness for killing!"
As soon as the woman ran to the door of the palace, she was instantly pierced by a long arrow.
The picture is forever frozen at this moment, and the woman fell directly at the gate of the mansion.
Everyone didn't seem to expect that it was really an arrow, and they didn't even want to get close to it when they drew a knife, and their hearts chuckled at that time.
I was about to make a fuss.
I heard an old man behind him tremble and say, "In the city, is there a plague?"
"Let's Wucheng, is there a plague? You tell the old man, is there a plague?" As soon as the old man said this, the scene instantly became quiet.
"Our Wucheng has never been closed, even when the Qingxiao army pressed the border, it has never been closed!" The old man's eyes were red, and the crowd was silent without a sound.
The soldiers on the other side were silent.
