Chapter 47: The Curse
Fang Junyao thought about it for a while, and then remembered that among the pills she had learned, there were several medicinal properties that were weak, and people who had not cultivated could take pills to strengthen the body, as well as a few pills that cleared and strengthened the body, and she made up her mind, "Let's go and have a look." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Unexpectedly, the people guarding the tents on the side of the road resolutely did not allow them to pass.
"The first few villages and towns are all plague patients, and you are not allowed to go there."
Liu Yishuang tried to negotiate with them several times without success, and she was very anxious, "We have someone here who can cure this plague, let us go, we are here to save people!" ”
The other party shook his head, "It's not that we don't trust your medical skills, the disease is strange, the sick people have seizures, and they are covered with rotten sores, but all the doctors in these ten miles and eight directions have no way to alleviate the symptoms, let alone cure them, you are all young, how much ability can you have?" Not only did Dr. Liu from Liuya Town not cure people, but even he himself was terminally ill and could not be saved, so you better leave quickly! ”
Liu Yishuang was like being struck by lightning when she heard this, "What did you say?!" My dad ...... My dad is sick too?! ”
The man was stunned for a moment, "Are you Dr. Liu's daughter?" Didn't you go to learn from a teacher? Coming back? ”
Liu Yishuang nodded again and again, and said pleadingly: "My father is sick, please let me in, we really have a way to cure the disease!" ”
"But what if ......"
Fang Junyao said: "Life and death are fate, I won't blame you." ”
"You, alas......," the man sighed, "forget it, you can go in, only in and not out, as long as you don't spread this strange disease, I don't care what you do!" With a wave of his hand, several men next to him moved the barricade and laid planks over the ditch, and the carriage slowly passed.
The man was right, there were sick people everywhere, mild symptoms, limping and not knowing what to look for on the side of the road, and when they saw them come in, they came up to try to ask for something to eat, and if the symptoms were severe, they even lay on the side of the road wailing and screaming, and even more serious were dying and did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Liu Yishuang's tears swirled in her eyes, as the carriage drove into Liuya Town, all of them were people she was familiar with, and before the carriage stopped, she rushed out of the carriage and into a small courtyard, "Dad!" Mother! ”
There was a slight movement in the room suddenly, Liu Yishuang pushed the door in, Fang Junyao and others followed, and heard her crying, "Dad, wake up!" ”
Doctor Liu has been in a coma for several days, and Mrs. Liu is still in good spirits, but above her exposed fingers, Jun Yao can see at a glance that there are several small pustules, which are slightly yellow and clear, and it seems that they will burst in the next second.
She took out two pills from the Qiankun bag to clear the poison and strengthen the essence, fed them to Mrs. Liu and Dr. Liu, looked at Dr. Liu's face, and fed him a pill to strengthen his body.
"The situation is a bit complicated," Rufu came in from outside the door, "Almost all the people in Liuya Town have mild or severe symptoms, is your pill enough?" ”
"It's not enough, I can only refine it again, but the herbs in the Qiankun bag may not be enough."
Lu Yanzhi said: "It's useless to rely on pills to detoxify alone, this disease is so strange, and the source must be found out to be completely broken." ”
Now Liu Yishuang is busy taking care of her parents and other patients, and the rest of the people will simply divide labor, Lihuo and Rufu will go to find the pill, Fang Junyao will be responsible for refining the medicine, and Lu Yanzhi will be responsible for finding out the source of the disease.
Er Sheng no longer gave instructions this time, just helped her classify the medicinal materials, Fang Junyao found an empty room, closed the door and began to refine the medicine.
She first took out a stack of fire-based talismans, then took out her own Dan furnace, and Er Sheng handed over the medicinal materials, "This is a hundred-year-old spirit grass, will it be a waste for them to use it?" ”
"Medicinal herbs are used for use, where is there any waste is not wasted, not to mention that these kinds are not very precious."
"Just for mortals......"
Fang Junyao turned his head to stare into his eyes, "Ersheng, I hope you understand, although the Great Dao Immortal Road needs to be cold and cold to shield distracting thoughts, it is not to make us become an impersonal ice cube, maybe Yang Sheng and their feelings do not need outsiders to beak, but this time is different, human life is at stake, do you understand?" ”
"But ...... Mortal"
"What about mortals?" Fang Junyao stared at him.
"It's ant-like, so you don't need to bother about it."
"Then what am I cultivating for?"
Er Sheng sneered lightly: "Immortal." ”
"To be a wood or stone that can live for tens of millions of years?"
Er Sheng opened his mouth, and Fang Junyao took the herb, "I don't want you to understand, but I hope you don't change my mind." ”
At least she looked at Liu Yishuang's expression, and all she could think of was to cure Dr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, so that her friends would not be so sad.
She forced out the spiritual energy from the palm of her hand, slowly wrapped the spiritual grass, and began to refine the essence of it.
Er Sheng helped her to activate the talisman seal under the Dan furnace, and with the assistance of the talisman seal, Fang Junyao quickly forced out another ball of aura again and began to heat the Dan furnace.
Lu Yanzhi walked around Liuya Town, and found that the patients here did not seem to be very serious, at least there were fewer dying patients on the street than elsewhere, and on the way he saw countless patients who did not know whether they were alive or dead, it seemed that Liuya Town should not be the town where the disease first occurred.
"This lady, do you know where the epidemic was first discovered in this neighborhood?" Lu Yanzhi leaned over and asked the old woman sitting on the ridge munching wild vegetables.
"Ahem, it started in Shuanghua Town, where everyone is dying, where did you come from?"
Shuanghua Town? Lu Yanzhi talked to her a few more words, but found that she didn't know anything about the epidemic, so he decided to go to Shuanghua Town to have a look.
Shuanghua Town was a little far away from Liuya Town, and the shapeshifting charm was gone, so he had to walk there.
Along the way, I kept meeting patients wandering in the villages and towns, these people were all blue and black, and their exposed skin was full of pus, some of them had festered, exuding an uncomfortable smell, Lu Yanzhi's face did not change through the crowd, and he finally arrived at Shuanghua Town when it was dark.
From a distance, he felt that there seemed to be an unusual aura here, the town was lifeless, and he couldn't see the patients who were wandering around without food, and there was a boy curled up under the archway engraved with "Shuanghua Town", and his original face could no longer be seen with abscesses, Lu Yanzhi hesitated, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The boy snorted in pain and slowly raised his head.
He also had a lot of pus on his face, which looked very terrifying at a glance, Lu Yanzhi clenched his fists with some discomfort, "Excuse me, where have all the people from Shuanghua Town gone?" ”
"All dead," the boy's voice was hoarse, and he opened his mouth almost inaudible.
"What?"
"The people here...... It's all dead......" he struggled to open his mouth and gasp, "do you have anything to eat?" ”
Lu Yanzhi took out dry food and water from the Qiankun bag, the child almost snatched the food from his hand, gobbled it up, although he was choked and rolled his eyes, he still ate in a big gulp, Lu Yanzhi stretched out his hand to help him pat his back, but saw that his body was full of puscesses that had been ruptured under the tattered clothes.
No wonder he seemed to be in pain just after patting him on the shoulder, Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but lighten his tone, "Eat slowly and drink some water." ”
When he was finally full, Lu Yanzhi finally heard him ask again, "Who are you?" Are you here to find someone? The people here are all dead. ”
"I'm here to help you, I heard that Shuanghua Town was the first place where the epidemic was discovered, right?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
"Yes, but you can't help me, I'm dying," he said, his eyes dark, "they're all dead, I'm going to die, it's a curse, and no one can escape it." ”
Lu Yanzhi noticed that he said the curse, and asked suspiciously, "Whose curse?" Don't worry, my companion has a little medical skills, and her medicine is also very useful, can you tell me about the situation? ”
This kid is just a little beggar in this Shuanghua Town, he has a pair of eyes on Lu Yanzhi's body, and the eyes he usually exercises make him understand that the person in front of him is not simple, but he still has some concerns, "You can't help it, it's very powerful, and all of us can't do anything about it." ”
Lu Yanzhi summoned his flying sword, circled in the air, and returned to the scabbard, "I think I can." ”
The little beggar Gouyu's eyes widened, obviously unable to react, Lu Yanzhi said, "I'll take you back first, and you tell me what happened here." ”
After that, he took out a piece of rune paper from his arms, folded it into a paper crane and used a little aura, and the paper crane staggered and flew up, "There is no transformation talisman, take this to deal with it first, can you move it yourself?" ”
The sores left by the dog hurt all over his body, he gritted his teeth and slowly stood up with the pillar of the archway, leaving a sticky handprint on it, and then climbed up the paper crane with difficulty, the paper crane shook slightly, and slowly flew up, flying to the ground half a person high, and slowly followed Lu Yanzhi to fly back.
Lu Yanzhi returned to the courtyard, Fang Junyao hadn't come out yet, the medicine she wanted to refine this time was not very difficult, but the quantity was very large, and the medicine in her hand was only enough to refine about eighty, which was enough for her to be busy for a long time.
When Liu Yishuang saw the person on the paper crane, she was so frightened that she exclaimed, this child has almost no good meat on his body, it is rare that he is still alive, not only alive, hearing Liu Yishuang's exclamation, he even showed a somewhat worried smile to her.
She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him off the paper crane, her touch made the dog almost faint in pain, but he just snorted lightly twice, and looked at Liu Yishuang's clothes soiled by him in some panic, for fear that the other party would be angry, so he refused to save him.
After taking the medicine given to him by Liu Yishuang, Gou Yu felt that the strength in his body slowly returned, and then his heart settled down a little, and he told Lu Yanzhi with some trepidation about the scenes he had seen that made him have nightmares for several days.
"I hear its curse, and this disease in Doubleflower and the surrounding towns is its curse."
About a month ago, something happened in the mayor's house in Shuanghua Town, and the mayor's daughter-in-law was found to have fornicated with someone.
But this woman actually cried and said that she already had the flesh and blood of that person, and she didn't expect to be let go, but the child was innocent, could she give birth to the child and die.
This incident was very big, so the little beggar Gouyu also witnessed the scene of the woman being stripped naked and tied into rice dumplings, crying hoarsely.
But she refused to say who the adulterer was.
No matter how she asked, she just said that she didn't know, the mayor loves face in Shuanghua Town, everyone knows it, such a thing happened, and she could have quietly dealt with this woman who smeared his face, but this woman is not afraid of death, and when the matter was exposed, she rushed out of the house with her face open, and made this matter known to everyone, and now she doesn't say the adulterer's name, but she still wants to give birth to the thing that makes him lose face, the town mayor was furious, and immediately ordered to beat the child in her belly first, and then sink her into the pond.
The executioner was a little unbearable, although this woman did shameless things, but she was kind to everyone on weekdays, so everyone felt that there was no way to be ruthless to her, the mayor's son who went out to do business all the year round saw that his father was so angry that his face was purple, and he rushed up and hit her in the stomach with a stick.
The blow was so hard that the woman fell and struggled for a long time on the ground, and in full view of the whole town, blood stained the ground where she was lying, and the fetus, with all her hands and feet, slipped down.
There were people in the crowd who watched the excitement, some who couldn't bear it, and some who spit on women who didn't abide by women's morals, but no one stepped forward to help her, even if they covered her with clothes, the mayor of the town was helped away by his son, and the original Shentang also lost its meaning after the woman screamed and lost her breath, and the people dispersed, and a few people even talked about the woman's white body from afar, and the words couldn't be heard.
Gou Yu just thought that a crowded place might have a greater chance of getting money, but he didn't expect to witness such a bloody scene, and he almost crawled out of here, shrinking into his own dilapidated den until dark.
When he was finally so hungry that he couldn't hold it anymore, he left his nest again, wanting to beg for a hot bun, but he heard that no one had collected the corpse of that woman, and he didn't know who her concubine was, so he could be so hard-hearted.
The dog didn't know what kind of leopard gall he had eaten, so he went to Shuanghua Lake in the dark at night.
The corpse lay silently, with the fetus, and the dog's remaining courage was surprisingly great at that moment, and he took off his tattered coat and covered the woman.
The woman's eyes were open, looking at the dark sky, there were no stars tonight, everything was so dark that it seemed to be stained with ink, and the dog's remaining guts suddenly shrank into mouse gall after covering his clothes, and he ran again with a crawl, but before he ran a few steps, he suddenly heard a sigh behind him.
The dog was almost frightened by the rat's gall and froze, he wanted to run, but his legs became weak and became noodles, he collapsed to the ground, and turned back in horror, and in the darkness he saw only a shadow that wanted to be a person but did not look like a person, the shadow was a little human-like, but behind it seemed to have a tail slowly wagging slowly, it sighed again, leaned over and picked up the woman.
The slippery fetus was reached into its sleeve, it seemed to be kissing a woman, and it seemed to bow its head and weep on her chest? The dog couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't hear clearly, he couldn't see clearly in the dark, but his ears seemed to have suddenly lost their effect, and the strong fear made him only hear his more and more violent heartbeat, he only watched the figure stand for a long time, and then the heartbeat in his ears suddenly quieted, and in the silence, he heard a strange voice: "They must not die well, and everyone here must not die well." ”
It turned around and said, "I'm going to kill them." ”
The first person to catch the epidemic was the son of the mayor who killed the woman, who had a high fever, and then began to grow sores, and then the mayor, the woman's maid...... The mayor's family went out of the funeral one after another, until there was no one in the mayor's house who could carry the coffin out of the funeral, and other people in the town who had been watching the excitement began to show symptoms one by one.
After the dog was scared to death that night, he was always worried that the mayor's house would be slaughtered overnight, but at first the mayor's son died, and the cause of death was illness, and he relieved his heart a little, until the mayor's family died and the rest of the town began to fall ill, he only moved in his heart and vaguely remembered what happened to him that night.
But it was too late, those people died of abscesses one by one, but there was no way to get out of the scope of Shuanghua Town, and he couldn't, he could only walk to the archway that said "Shuanghua Town", and then the next step was not to step out, there were people from other towns, they could come in and get out, and they also took away the strange epidemic, but the people of Shuanghua Town, none of them could get out.
No one should die well.
