Chapter 227: Entering the Epidemic Area

Zhou called Yang Shuyong, Qiu Chen had already taken a hot bath, put on Zhou's clothes, cleaned up, and was drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup.

Yang Shuyong was also taken aback when he learned the news of the blockade of Qinghe County, because the blockade of Qinghe County was sudden, and Yang Shuyong was blocked in this Nanmarsh Lake, and he didn't hear any news at all.

After sighing and being surprised, the three of them immediately discussed how to deal with it.

According to Qiu Chen's meaning, the chickens and ducks in Nannuma Lake were disposed of, and Yang Shuyong and his wife and all the people in Nannuma Lake were transferred, at least they had to avoid Liujiaao first. After that, it depends on the situation and whether it is necessary to continue north.

But this opinion, Yang Shuyong and Zhou can't accept it.

The couple came to this Nanmarsh Lake since the New Year, built roads and houses, and planted lotus roots and water chestnuts. Those chickens and ducks were also hatched one by one by Zhou with a few women, neither white nor black, and pulled from small chops to big ones, carefully taking care of them, and that intention was no less than taking care of the children. Seeing that the chickens and ducks have grown up, they are about to place an order, and they are reluctant to let them throw away at once.

Qiu Chen's mouth was dry, but he still failed to do the ideological work of Yang Shuyong and Zhou.

Seeing that Qiu Chen's face was not good-looking, Yang Shuyong hesitated and said: "Or, let your sister-in-law and women follow you to Liujiaao to take refuge, I will take the men to guard here, and then send a few people to guard the intersection to prevent people from coming in, we have a world of our own here, and it is estimated that the epidemic will not be able to spread in." ”

Qiu Chen was discouraged, looked at Yang Shuyong, and then at Zhou, and exhaled a long breath.

She saw that the main reluctance was the Zhou family, if the Zhou family was sent away according to Yang Shuyong's opinion, Yang Shuyong would be left alone, and it would be much easier to make persistent efforts to let him transfer.

"Good!" Qiu Chen responded in one bite, and at the same time keenly noticed that Zhou glanced at Yang Shuyong disapprovingly, obviously worried that her husband would stay, and secretly laughed in his heart, and then said, "Since the sister-in-law is leaving, it will be too tiring for those chickens and ducks to be left with the eldest brother......

"It's almost time to lay eggs...... Zhou quickly reminded.

Qiu Chen smiled: "The hens are kept to lay eggs, let's not deal with them, those roosters and ducks will be sold no matter how long they grow, and it will not be bad for so many days, the rain is lighter, and the sister-in-law will take someone to pick them out and send them to the workshop in the east of the city in a basket." ”

Zhou was very satisfied with this suggestion, and immediately said: "Keep a few cages for your own family and bring them over for our parents and children to eat." ”

This is not a problem, Qiu Chen naturally agreed. Zhou didn't wait for the rain to stop, took a hat and hurried out, beckoning the women to identify and select chickens and ducks.

The next thing was much simpler, Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong discussed the horses and vehicles of Nannuma Lake, and quickly agreed to send the Yang family Zhuangzi's woman and Qingzhuang home first. However, Qiu Chen also said that let them go home and discuss, if they want to avoid trouble, they can go to Liujiaao to live temporarily. Tomorrow, when the rain is light, the women and children of the Zhou family and the old He family will be sent to Liujiaao immediately. The men stayed still, but kept an eye on the news outside, and if there was any change, they immediately left this side and left.

Yang Shuyong could see that this plan was Qiu Chen's greatest concession, so he agreed without hesitation.

After discussing these things, Yang Shuyong went to arrange for the people who sent Yang's shop back to the village, and took people to distinguish the chickens and ducks that were well selected.

Qiu Chen sat on the kang and watched the heavy rain outside through the propped up window. Now there was no wind, and the rain poured down like a river of heaven, and the raindrops fell to form thousands of rain lines, connecting the gray sky with the white and bright ground. Heaven and earth are the same color, a piece of water.

Yang Shuyong and Zhou's movements were very fast, and after a while, they heard the neighing of horses outside and the sound of people talking and moving, and after about two quarters of an hour, the sound outside gradually subsided, and silence was restored. The helpers of the Yang family's shop were all sent away. It was getting dark.

The people of Yang's shop were personally brought by Yang Shuyong to send it, Zhou and Qiu Chenjiang had dinner, Yang Shuyong also turned back at the end of the unitary time, and brought back the news at the same time, after the helpers of Yang's shop discussed with their families, five of them were reluctant to leave, and the other eight were willing to go to Liujiaao to avoid disasters.

With the news, the next step is to arrange the vehicles and horses. The only people who need to be transferred here are the women and children of the Zhou family and the Lao He family, a total of seven people, as well as four children, and two carriages are enough. There are three carriages on this side of Nanmara Lake, Yang Shuyong will take people to run again tomorrow, send Zhou and others to Liujiaao, and bring all the carriages at home by the way, first, to pick up those people who want to leave Yang's shop, and second, to transport some grain back in Anyang City.

After learning the news of the siege of Qinghe County, Qiu Chen's first thought was Yang Shuyong and his wife, and the second thought was the grain in Anyang City. Why didn't she think about shipping the food back first when she was at home?

At the moment, it is obviously unrealistic to point to the carriage to transport, and the only way to go to the Luohe wharf tomorrow is to see if we can find two boats to transport the grain away. If it can't be transported to Liu Jiaao, it must be transported to the house of Zhengding Mansion first.

In the sound of rain, Qiu Chen pondered and pondered, and he fell asleep at some point.

The next day, before she could open her eyes, she heard the birdsong outside, sat up, and pushed the window open.

Oh my day!

The sky was so blue that Qiu Chen almost cried with joy!

The heavy rain stopped, and the rest of the resettlement and relocation work was much easier.

Yang Shuyong took two homeless hired workers to drive the Zhou family and the women and children of the He family to Liujiaao. At Zhou's request, a cart full of chickens and ducks was loaded. Lao He's grandfather and his wife took care of the chickens and ducks in Nanmara Lake with the rest of the hired workers.

Zeng Da Niu was sent to the Luohe Wharf in the east of Anyang to look for boats, or to find a carriage, and to contact the workshop in the east of the city to check the situation there, if it was still functioning, bring some people over, as many cars as possible, and transport the selected roosters and ducks to the workshop.

Before leaving, Qiu Chen asked Zeng Da Niu to let Xu Qianzhi do the matter of finding a boat. Xu Qianzhi had been messing around on the dock before, and he was very familiar with everyone, and there were naturally many doorways.

Lao He went to the lake to check the water situation, and Qiu Chen circled around the highland. A few days ago, the homeless young man was hired to strengthen the lake embankment and wharf, and the effect of this rain was apparent. The rain stopped, and there was basically no water on the high ground, and at this moment, the sun came out, and the chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep that had been held for a long time and a night were all released, and they were spreading joy along the lake embankment.

The road leading to the outside has also been heightened and reinforced, and drainage ditches have been dug on both sides, so that there is not much water on the road at this time, but the ditches on both sides are muddy and the water is quite rapid. It is conceivable that without these two drainage ditches, the road surface would still be flooded!

At noon, Zeng Da Niu rushed back and brought Xu Qianzhi and four carriages.

It's just a pity that Xu Qianzhi didn't get a boat, and a few days ago, the big families in Anyang City moved north one after another, and the big ship had already been used by them. In the past two days, the medium-sized families in the city and the people with a little money have been transferred, and medium-sized boats and small boats have also been hired, and the two things that Anyang City lacks most now are probably ships and carriages. Even the four carriages of the workshop had been asked a few times before, but they were all rejected by Xu Qianzhi.

Unable to hire a boat or carriage, Qiu Chen had no choice, so he had to send Xu Qianzhi to pack chickens and ducks and send them to the workshop. The east side of the city is far away from Qinghe County, and the tension of the people is much worse, and the workshop is still operating normally.

However, before leaving, Qiu Chen instructed Xu Qianzhi that the blood, water, chicken feathers, and internal organs after killing chickens must be dug and buried deeply, and they must be disposed of!

In the evening, Xu Qianzhi led people to drive the seven carriages collected to Guanmao'er Hutong, and Qiu Chen left Zeng Daniu to take care of Nannuo Lake, and also rushed back to the city before. The carriage came, loaded the grain without stopping, and went out of the city before closing the city gate in the dark, and transported it to Liujiaao.

In the evening of the next day, Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng rushed back with more than 20 carriages from their families and Xu Qianzhi's seven carriages. That night, more than thirty wagons loaded with grain left the city. Fortunately, there is still a lot of carriages and horses going out of the city every day these days, and these thirty carriages are tightly covered, and in the eyes of people, they will only think that a big family has withdrawn late, which is not very noticeable.

If the grain was transported day and night for five days, and most of the grain in Guanmao'er Hutong was transported away, Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. With this food, the family has enough food rations for two years.

In the past few days, there has been very little news from Qinghe County, only that the plague has spread very quickly in the Ludao area, and almost no villages in the blockaded area have escaped the spread of the plague. As for the specific number of morbidities and deaths, no one knows.

In addition to this, there is another news, saying that Wu Yunqiao has been staying in the epidemic area in Qinghe County, and these days he has taken the officials and Mr. Lang Zhong in the county town to diagnose and treat patients, and is trying to save himself. The people of Anyang City have already gone to five or six, and there are not many people left, Qiu Chen hurriedly walked from the street twice, but he still heard more than one person praising this county order as a good official. It can be seen that this Wu Yunqiao's good reputation has spread widely.

After transporting the grain, Qiu Chen finally had a showdown with Yang Shuyong, and the remaining hens and ducks were only a few hundred, loaded with cages, and even those goats, more than ten vehicles were transported over in one trip. Yang Shuyong thought about Lao He and Qingjiang and others, although he no longer insisted.

Yang Shuyong loaded the car, packed it up, looked back at Qiu Chen and walked straight to the horse, and couldn't help but wonder: "If you don't rush today, you should take the car!" ”

Qiu Chen led the horse over and said with a smile: "Big brother, you take them back first, I still have to deal with the workshop in the east of the city, and when the arrangements are made over there, I will go home......"

This is also reasonable, Yang Shuyong was about to give a few more instructions, when he heard Qiu Chen say again: "Big brother, I have handled it here, and I may also go to Beijing." You tell your family, don't worry about me, when the time comes, I will write a letter to my family. ”

As if he was afraid of being interrupted by Yang Shuyong, Qiu Chen paused slightly, didn't give Yang Shuyong a chance to speak, and followed closely: "Qin Yong, they have a way to summon the interrogation, you listen to them more, once Anping can't keep it, you and the second brother will quickly take the family to Zhengding." I handed over the money to our mother and Lin Xu, and Lin Xu asked him to give Mrs. Lin a few flowers. Our mother's there is enough for you, and you don't have to save too much when you get to Zhengding, don't lose your parents and children. ”

Yang Shuyong listened to the girl's words and felt a little wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he agreed one by one, and instructed Qiu Chen carefully to finish the affairs as soon as possible and go back early. You have to pay more attention to yourself, if you really want to go to Beijing, you should be more careful on the road, and so on. Qiu Chen naturally smiled in response.

After sending Yang Shuyong away, Qiu Chen returned to the house in Guanmao'er Hutong. In the house in Anyang City, she and Qin Li, Zeng Daniu, Chen, and Jialiang were left. Qiu Chen called both Jialiang and Chen over and sent the two of them back to Liujiaao together. Who knows, these two people are very resolute that they want to stay, and where Qiu Chen is, they will follow.

"This Anyang City is about to become an empty city, can't you see it? Seeing that the plague has arrived in Qinghe, it is only a few dozen miles away from Anyang City, who knows when the road will be transmitted, what is the use of staying if you don't leave? If you have swords and guns, you can block it for me, and when the plague comes, can you also block it for me? Qiu Chen can be described as haggard these days, seeing these two people refusing to leave, he became angry.

Jia Liang glanced at Chen, lowered his head and agreed. Chen silently knelt down for Qiu Chen, kowtowed, and said, "Madam, let the slave maid stay by her side and serve." Hou Ye sent the slave and maid over, it was to serve the lady, if the lady was given up at this time, the slave and the maid would not be able to explain to the Hou Ye. ”

Qiu Chen was about to reach out and pull Chen up, but he suddenly heard this, but he was stunned, and his hand stretched out in the air and slowly retracted.

Raising his eyes to look at Qin Li, Qin Li also shook his head awkwardly: "This, this matter, I really don't know the way." ”

Qiu Chen rolled his gaze and said lightly, "Who else besides you?" ”

Chen shook his head: "Master Hou just didn't worry that there was no real person around his wife, so he sent a slave and maid." There is no one else. ”

Qiu Chen closed his eyes, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and lightly asked Chen to get up, so he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and only sent Jialiang back to Liu Jiaao.

Seeing Jialiang driving a carriage carrying a cart of dry goods that Lin Mansion had stored before, gradually drifting away, out of the official hat alley and disappeared, Qiu Chen turned back, did not stop much, directly took out a bag from his bedroom and carried it on his shoulder, and asked Qin Li and Zeng Daniu to carry two boxes into the car, and also loaded more than a dozen bags of rice, and then, she pulled the rouge herself and walked out of the gate of the Lin family.

She went directly to the prefect's yamen.

Qinghe County is subordinate to Anyang Prefecture, and if you want to enter the quarantine area of Qinghe County, you must first pass through Yunyizhou, the prefect of Anyang. Of course, the reason why Qiu Chen came to him was to hope to get the support of the Yun Governor's Mansion. She didn't know the specific situation of Qinghe County, but after being locked down for so many days, she didn't know how long the road would be blocked in the future, and perhaps the most lacking thing was not food, but the medicinal materials needed to treat the plague.

The purpose of her coming to Yun Yizhou was to hope that Yun Zhifu could also come forward to organize a batch of medicinal materials for the treatment of the plague, as well as sugar and salt for auxiliary treatment, for the sake of her political achievements. It would be great if we could mobilize some more food.

Originally, some time ago, the river embankment in Anyang Mansion was firm and there was no disaster, and Yun Yizhou was still a little complacent. In addition, the rich families in the city gave porridge, so that the displaced people were properly settled, Yun Yizhou won the Mingwen commendation, and couldn't help but be proud that he taught the people in a good way, and his political achievements were outstanding. He is just over forty years old, and if he can enter Beijing and enter the sixth ministry at this time, he can be said to have qualifications and experience, and he will not be worried that he will not be able to become a hall official in the future. Even if you can't enter the six departments of the capital, you can move your position and be transferred to the provincial government, maybe in a few years, you can become a local magistrate.

It's just that he didn't have long to daydream before he broke out that there was an epidemic in Yishui County, which was hit by floods. At first, he didn't put it in his heart, even Guo Jingquan's old guy jumped out to discuss the prevention and control of the epidemic with him, he also gave it a shirk, so angry that Guo Jingquan entered the epidemic area alone, at that time he also laughed at the old man Guo was tired of being crooked, and he couldn't find it at ease, who thought, in less than half a month, the plague spread from Yishui County to Hui County, and then to the surrounding prefectures and counties, even Anyang Mansion was also recruited, and Pi County and Qinghe County found the epidemic successively, so he had to coordinate with Hu Yanxun and mobilize the army to block the epidemic area.

That Qinghe County Commander Wu Yunqiao is a strong seed on weekdays, the master who loves the more truthful children, strong up, no one's account is bought, and his reputation among colleagues is very bad, because of this, this Wu County Commander was born in the second list of Jinshi, and he has been in the Qinghe County Commander for nine years, and his performance is flat every year, and he has not moved a step. In addition, the age of this Zhongjin sergeant is already thirty-nine years old, and after nine years as a county magistrate, he is now forty-eight, and he has the potential to die of old age in this county magistrate.

Fortunately, this strong county magistrate satisfied Yun Yizhou this time, and did not run away with his family like the county magistrate of Hui County, nor did he run to Anyang in a panic like the county magistrate of Pixian County, but after discovering that a merchant in Qinghe County went south and returned home to become ill, he immediately took the official to block the epidemic area in person...... However, the epidemic was severe, even if Wu Yunqiao acted quickly, but the county government had limited manpower, and failed to block the expansion of the epidemic.

However, Wu Yunqiao's rapid response still played a certain role, otherwise, Anyang Mansion is estimated to not be spared.

The heavy display of troops can be regarded as stopping the spread of the epidemic, but the population of the epidemic area in the nearly two counties is also nearly 100,000. 100,000 people...... If it is really dead, let alone promotion, this Anyang prefect is afraid that he will also do it.

At this time, Yun Yizhou suddenly regretted it. He regretted that he didn't listen to the words of that old man Guo Jingquan, and even more regretted that he didn't leave the fold of epidemic prevention and control......

Yun Yizhou was circling in the Yamen study, but he heard a report that Lin Yang from Liujiaao in Anping County asked to see him.

Yun Yizhou has long known that there is such a Lin lady in Lu Dao, and he has long known that his second son has cooperated with him in the soap making business, and in just half a year, he has earned back a lot of money. However, because of the difference in each other's identities, I haven't seen me.

Yun Yizhou was very surprised, at this time, what did this Lin Niangzi do when she came to see him? Could it be that something happened in the two joint workshops? Thinking of the second child's entrustment when he was leaving, although Yun Yizhou was not in a good mood, he still ordered Lin Yang to be invited in.

After a cup of tea, a man dressed in a cyan trim walked in.

Yun Yizhou was slightly stunned, and the person who came in had already bowed his hand and saluted: "Liu Jiaao Yang Haitang has seen an adult." Because it is convenient to wear men's clothes when going out, if there is any rudeness, I hope that adults will bear with me! ”

As he spoke, the person below had already raised his head after saluting, Yun Yizhou blinked his eyes, and then he saw that although the person who came was dressed in men's clothes and hair, and his demeanor was generous and untwisted, but looking at his eyebrows and eyes, he was too beautiful and delicate...... Well, if it's a man, it's just like that if you want to come to Pan An to live again!

"Well, that's it!" Yun Yizhou didn't have a bad impression of this Lin Niangzi, who had heard of it for a long time, but he was used to the official tone, and he was also used to being invisible, so he responded lightly at this time, saying that he didn't care.

Qiu Chen smiled and thanked him, and then sat down in the lower seat with Yun Yizhou's gesture.

"You came today, but ...... But what's the matter? Yun Yizhou was full of irritability, and he didn't have the heart to deal with a woman, so he bluntly asked Qiu Chen about the purpose of coming to see him.

Qiu Chen didn't go around the bush, and also replied directly: "My lord, I came this time to ask your lord to allow me to enter the epidemic area and treat the infected person. ”

Yun Yizhou's heart jumped, his originally half-hung eyes suddenly widened, and he stared straight at Qiu Chen and said, "You want to enter the epidemic area?" Are you Langzhong? ”

Qiu Chen got up and solemnly arched his hand: "My lord, I'm not Lang Zhong!" ”

Didn't Lang Zhong enter the epidemic area? Yun Yizhou rushed up with anger and was about to scold, but he heard Qiu Chen continue: "My lord, although I am not Langzhong, I know some methods of pharmaceutical dispensing. Moreover, he has also been familiar with ancient medical prescriptions and knows some effective methods for epidemic prevention and control. I had already learned about this epidemic before I came, and although I dare not say that I am completely sure, I have the power to give it a try. ”

"Really?" Yun Yizhou could barely sit still, leaning on the armrest of the chair, leaning forward subconsciously, his eyes staring closely at the bottom and talking, his expression calm and not showing any forced or other expressions. He had made sure that the young woman was not joking, but he couldn't help but want to confirm it once.

Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and said generously: "In front of adults, everything I said is true, and I dare not have a word of truth." ”

Yun Yizhou really couldn't sit still this time, so he got up from the chair all of a sudden, took two steps forward, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped, stood three or four steps away in front of Qiu Chen, and said, "Since you have learned about this epidemic, do you know how severe this epidemic is?" Six or seven out of ten infected people can't get out of a day! ”

Qiu Chen still nodded calmly, indicating that he knew what he said, and then said, "My lord, I went to the epidemic area this time and made sufficient preparations for self-protection. …… However, when I went to the epidemic area, I would like to ask for some support from adults! ”

Yun Yizhou listened to her words and made up his mind to enter the epidemic area, hesitating in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little lucky, if this Lin Niangzi can really eliminate it...... No, as long as the epidemic in Qinghe is controlled, even if it saves him Yun Yizhou once, so that his eunuch journey will not stop there!

So, instead of questioning or disbelieving, he asked, "What do you want, and tell me about it!" ”

Qiu Chen arched his hand and said, "This time I have entered the epidemic area, and my strength alone can save two people...... Nine people and ten people, but this is obviously unable to effectively control the spread and ravages of the epidemic. ”

Yun Yizhou's heart jumped suddenly, and he directly interrupted Qiu Chen's words and said, "How many people do you want to go in with you?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not asking the adults to send someone to accompany me, I just want to ask the adult to give me a warrant, I have the warrant in hand, and after entering the epidemic area, I can contact the Qinghe County Yamen, and they will send someone to assist." ”

Yun Yizhou raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly.

"That's number one. Second, the prevention and control treatment plan I formulated for this epidemic requires a large number of medicinal materials, as well as a large amount of salt and sugar. I'm afraid I can't find many of these things in Qinghe County now, so I ask for your support...... When I enter the epidemic area, I have to bring a batch with me. If you still need it later, you need to be responsible for supplementing it. ”

Medicine is needed to cure diseases, which is known to three-year-old children. What can sugar and salt be used to treat epidemics? It's not about cooking!

Yun Yizhou was puzzled, so he asked.

Qiu Chen briefly told him the principle of cholera prevention and control: "...... Because the patient vomits and diarrhea severely, it is necessary to replenish a large amount of water in time. Sugar and salt can also be given to the body as soon as possible, so that sugar and salt are needed. And, according to my preliminary estimates, the dosage could be significant. ”

If it is left to other officials, there may really be no way in this situation, but Yun Yizhou is not afraid. The second eldest of his family has two fleets, transporting goods back and forth between the north and the south. Yes, sugar and salt, without going out, Yun Yizhou can get a large number of them. What's more, if he takes out these sugar and salt from the Yun family, he is not afraid of losses, and he will use them to control the epidemic and relieve the people and the crisis, where does he need to pay out of his own pocket. When the time comes, there will naturally be the treasury of Fuzhou to pay.

"Well, I promise you!" Yun Yizhou's mind just turned and he happily agreed. "Do you have any other requests?"

Qiu Chen nodded, and said, "There is one more thing, which is to ask the adults to issue a notice to appease the people, telling the people that the epidemic is controllable and not to panic...... Well, this time when entering the epidemic area, the clothes and belongings used by the sick and dead and the sick will be burned, and this matter must also be explained in the notice, so as not to resist and obstruct the people. ”

These are all trivial things, Yun Yizhou agreed without thinking about it.

So, Qiu Chen said simply: "Then ask the adults to transfer the medicinal materials, sugar and salt as soon as possible, I want to enter the epidemic area as soon as possible, the sooner the better!" ”

Yun Yizhou has been having a headache about this plague in the past few days, there is such a person who automatically invited Ying to enter the epidemic area, and what he said is true, it sounds quite credible, Yun Yizhou can't bother to verify whether what Qiu Chen said is true, he is like a drowning man at this moment, and he will die to grasp the straw. Therefore, hearing Qiu Chen say this, he naturally did not delay, and immediately ordered people to prepare medicinal materials and sugar and salt according to the list listed by Qiu Chen.

Qiu Chen then made an appointment with Yun Yizhou, and after two hours, they would meet at the West City Gate. Then he walked out of the prefect's yamen, walked two streets before he saw a cloth village that was still open, went in and bought forty or fifty pieces of cotton thin cloth, handed them all to Chen, explained to her, and asked her to sew masks one by one.

Qiu Chen had already planned for a long time, and from the moment he entered the epidemic area, several people wore masks. Do everything possible to prevent the infection from happening.

Two hours is not long, but it is enough for Chen to sew out twenty or thirty masks.

Qiu Chen sent five to Qin Li, Zeng Daniu and Chen, and the rest were put in the carriage. Then he told Zeng Daniu and Qin Li, who temporarily acted as coachmen: "Remember, since entering the epidemic area, the drinking water of people and horses needs to be boiled water." The fodder for the horses should be kept away from the village, preferably from the water source of the river. ”

Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu wrote them down one by one and repeated them again, and Qiu Chen was relieved.

The group came to the West City Gate, and in this atmosphere, they didn't expect a restaurant to be open, let alone eat the restaurant's food casually. Fortunately, the guys they brought in the car were very complete, Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu were both people who were used to marching, and quickly set up a pot, fried boiling water with charcoal brought with the car, and everyone washed their hands with soap and cool boiling water, Chen had already quickly cooked a pot of porridge with dried meat and wild vegetables, heated a few steamed buns, and a few people had lunch on the side of the road.

After drinking tea and just putting away the pots and pans, the head of the prefect's yamen came over with a team of officials and seven or eight carts. Qiu Chen joined him, and the group headed west.

Approaching the evening, the group arrived at a distance of more than ten miles from the county seat of Qinghe, where there were several tents set up on both sides of the road, and the road was set up with deer barricades, horses and other things to intercept, and the soldiers were divided into several places, and those who guarded on the road also guarded in all directions, all with solemn faces, quite a bit of a solemn taste.

Seeing a cart coming, his own soldiers stepped forward to stop and ask. One of the soldiers immediately turned around and ran to a nearby tent built on a high place.

Qiu Chen wore a bamboo hat on his head, dressed in cyan straight embellishment, and sat upright on the horse. Since there is a full head hunter arranged by the Yun Governor to lead the team, she naturally does not need to come forward in this work of dealing with the soldiers.

Qin Li and Zeng Daniu also wore bamboo hats, and one of them drove a carriage to stop in front of the horse rejection deer, and was cooperating with the officials who saw them off behind, tying the carriage transporting medicinal herbs, sugar and salt and other things to their own carriage behind their own carriage.

Trained horses do not need to be watched too intently, the front and rear carriages are tied together, and the horses behind will automatically follow the front carriage, and the coachman only needs to control the first carriage, and one or two more people will take care of the front and rear, and two or three people can easily drive a convoy of ten or twenty carriages.

The little officer in charge of the guard obviously knew the whole catcher, the two met politely and greeted each other politely, and the whole catcher took out the warrant issued by the Yun Governor's Mansion, and pointed to Qiu Chen on the horse, Qiu Chen turned over and dismounted, came to the two, and bowed his hand to the little officer.

"Tsk, just your little body and bones are still going here, I advise you to dispel the idea and quickly stay away and run for your life!" The petty officer was sent to guard such a place, and every day he suspected that he would be infected, and he was in fear and depression for a long time, and this mood naturally did not improve. At this time, he was naturally not polite to a Langzhong.

However, although this person is not easy to stop talking, it is not entirely bad-hearted, Qiu Chen arched his hand and said: "If no one goes in and finds a way to control and eliminate the threat of the epidemic, not to mention that the tens of thousands of people inside will be worried, and even the people outside us will not stop." Instead of waiting all day in fear, it's better to go in and give it a go. If we can cure the epidemic, we can all live in peace! ”

Seeing that Qiu Chen was neither annoyed nor angry, neither humble nor arrogant, the little officer couldn't help but look at Qiu Chen again, and re-evaluate this good-looking and overly good looking man in his heart...... Since he can be recognized and valued by the Yun Governor's Mansion, this young Lang Zhong who is not good at talking should also have a few unique skills, right? Maybe we can cure this terrible epidemic!

"Alas, since Childe said so, he was not reluctant, but after Childe entered, he must be careful...... The people here are gone......"

As the little officer was talking, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from a dense forest not far away, and under the reflection of the setting sun in the west, it rushed straight through the treetops and into the sky.

"See? There is a village less than five miles ahead, and it takes ten days to work, and it is estimated that six or seven people died...... No, it's starting to burn people again! Burning ...... every day At this time, there are still people who are dead and people are burning, and in a few days, maybe no one will burn and no one will bury them......"

As the little officer spoke, the fear and worry came back to him, and his voice was lowered all the way, and at last it simply disappeared into the dim sunset.

Qiu Chen, Qin Li, Zeng Daniu, and even the Chen family in the car all looked calm. However, the whole catcher and the dozen or so officials who followed him looked worried, and they all aimed at the head catcher with their eyes, hoping that he would lead the team back quickly, while subconsciously falling backwards.

This place is so horrible! I don't know if standing here and watching people burn to death over there, will it be passed on as sick? The dead body will not move, and those soot ashes can be carried far away by the wind, and if they fall on the body, can they also cause epidemics?

Qiu Chen's eyes saw the performance of a cadre of officials, and then looked back at the little officer who had just spoken, Qiu Chen had to admit that this person was really calm, and there was a touch of silence in his calmness, and he looked at the billowing smoke at this time, and he also lost his interest in speaking.

Human life is as thin as paper, and he is here to stand guard for them...... If he is sick himself, will someone come to take care of him? Could it be that after his death, it was also burned like this, and even a handful of ashes were blown away by the wind?

Staring at the black pillar of smoke, a burly man came slowly from the tent on a high place, and from the outstanding expression and the well-mannered dress, it could be seen that this man was of a higher grade than all the soldiers he had seen before.

The man got closer and closer, and Qiu Chen finally saw his face clearly. The person who came was actually Anyang's commander - Hu Yanxun.
