Chapter 232: Leaving Qinghe

Chapter 232: Leaving Qinghe

Because it is not a dynasty, it is just a matter of listening to things, and it dispersed just after Sizheng. From the low discussions and even disputes, it is not difficult to see that there must have been some problems that caused a heated debate during the political hearing this morning.

Among these people, there were only two people with solemn expressions, solemn faces, and they did not make peace with others, and hurriedly walked out of the palace gate and entered the six departments. Stepping into the Sixth Executive Yuan, the two slowed down, glanced at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.

Qin Xiuyi, a scholar of the Liang State Minister's Department, who was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe, was slender and handsome, and was handsome, a famous beautiful man in the dynasty...... I'll go back and arrange for people to go out of Beijing to the epidemic area. Master Zheng should hurry up! ”

Zheng Jiyu, who was known as Lord Zheng, was the secretary of the household department at the time, and when he heard this, he also sighed and arched his hand: "Thank you Liang Guogong for maintenance, I will go and allocate grain, rice, and silver money, and allocate it as soon as possible!" ”

Saying that, the two arched their hands again and parted ways, and Qin Xiuyi, the Duke of Liang Guo, went straight to the Tai Hospital on the back of the Ministry of Rites. Zheng Jiyu hurriedly turned back to the household department, thinking of a way to transfer silver, grain and rice. Although it can be called the peace of the country and the people now, the rivers and rivers of all sizes must be dredged, and the grain funds must be allocated for large and small disasters...... There was not enough money in the household. In this flood in Nanzhili, grain and rice had been allocated for relief a few days ago, but in the blink of an eye, there was another plague...... Although Zheng Jiyu was under a lot of pressure, he was also accustomed to the practice of crowding here and moving there, and at this time, while walking to the household department, he had already begun to think about where to move a part of the grain money to the epidemic area first.

The officials of the previous dynasty dispersed, and there were only the tall and solemn Yu Linwei and the little eunuchs who should be on duty to clean in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, but these people were all trained, and they stood still for an hour without taking away the sample, let alone making a sound, almost the same as the incense burner and bronze crane in front of His Majesty.

In this solemn silence, occasionally officials were summoned to meet or enter the palace to ask for an audience. Occasionally, let the quiet Qianqing Palace make a little more noise.

In the middle of the day, a tall young man in a green robe walked into the Qianqing Gate with the support of two guards, and came to the front of the palace to meet His Majesty.

After the tea, a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, shook the dust in his hand, bowed down and said, "Chuan Jingbei Marquis will meet you!" ”

Qin Zheng let go of the two supporting guards, and was supported by the two little eunuchs who came up, and bowed slightly to the middle-aged eunuch: "There is Lao Huang's father-in-law." ”

"Master Hou, don't say that, where can the old slave afford it. It is the blessing of the old slave to be able to move the Hou Ye...... "Huang Fuhai is the chief eunuch beside the emperor, he has been serving by the emperor's side since he was in the palace, no one dares to underestimate him, he is the most obedient on weekdays, he is respectful to everyone, lukewarm, but in front of Qin Zheng, he seems to have something alienating. At this time, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "Master Hou is injured, why should he be so persistent...... That's the little things......"

The latter sentence is very low and vague, if it weren't for Qin Zheng's close ear and good ear strength, he would almost be inaudible.

Qin Zheng nodded, didn't say anything more, and entered the Qianqing Palace by Huang Fuhai.

The group went straight into the Dongnuan Pavilion where the emperor lived, Qin Zheng waved away the two little eunuchs, walked a few steps forward a little slowly, and was about to kneel down with his hands down.

A sneer came, and then he said, "Hmph...... Alright, alright, you have injuries on your body, and you don't talk about rules at this time. ”

Qin Zheng didn't insist, he bowed down and thanked him, and then slowly straightened up.

"Tell me, what are you doing when you come to the palace to honestly care for your injuries at home?" On the kang by the window sat an old man with a short beard in his early fifties, with a clear face, looking at Qin Zheng with a gentle expression and asking, with a wave of his hand, Huang Fuhai immediately asked the two little eunuchs to move a chair over, and the old man on the upper level said lightly, "Sit and talk back!" ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Qin Zheng slowly bowed deeply and saluted, and then sat down on the chair, "Back to the emperor, Weichen heard that the epidemic situation in Nanzhili was severe, which made the emperor worried. The ministers are willing to escort grain and rice to the epidemic area, assist the local officials in providing relief to the victims, prevent and control the epidemic, and do their best to share the emperor's worries, and hope that the emperor will give him permission. ”

The old man on the kang, that is, Emperor Jingshun, took a sip of tea with a blank face, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng who was sitting below, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Are you saying that there is no one in my court?" For such a trivial matter, you still need to come forward as a wounded person? ”

Qin Zheng hurriedly stood up with the armrest of the chair, knelt down silently, bent down and kowtowed respectfully: "The emperor is the Holy Lord Mingjun, and the court is also full of talents...... It's just that this epidemic is a disaster, rampant and rampant, harming countless people, the minister's father and the Tai Hospital, epidemic prevention and plague removal is the duty, every day for this worry and trouble, the minister can't bear to see the old father so troubled, so please live, I hope the emperor can allow the minister to go out of Beijing on behalf of his father, go to the epidemic area to drive the plague, share the emperor's worries, and fulfill his responsibilities for the minister's father! ”

The emperor's face moved slightly, looking at the prostrate man on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and there was a slight sense of relief in his retracted gaze.

"Although this matter is more troublesome, you don't need your father to go in person, but it is just to arrange for some skilled imperial doctors to go over, your filial piety is commendable, but your injuries have not healed, don't ......" The emperor said with a rare gentle comfort.

It's just that before the emperor's consolation was finished, he was interrupted by Qin Zheng, who was prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty, if the plague is not eliminated for a day, it will harm the people and make your majesty worried...... Besides, the minister did not need to charge into battle and get on his horse to kill the enemy this time, and this kind of injury would not hinder him. In addition, the minister heard that the epidemic in two counties in Nanzhili has been controlled, and there must have been a way to prevent the epidemic and eliminate the plague, and the epidemic situation in all other counties is still urgent, and it is also because the counties lack mutual coordination in setting up cards for epidemic prevention. The local epidemic area belongs to several state capitals, and two counties are under the jurisdiction of Henan Province, so it is inevitably inconvenient to unify with each other. If the ministers are in the past, they will be able to adjust the management and coordinate the operation, and with the guidance and coordination of the Tai Hospital and the Tai Doctor in the medical techniques and prescriptions, they will definitely try their best to contain the plague as soon as possible and eradicate it as soon as possible. ”

Laugh at...... The emperor chuckled and shook his head, pointed at Qin Zheng and said, "To deal with the plague, you should treat it as a war...... Well, well, since you have pleaded so repeatedly, then I have granted your plea! ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Qin Zheng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Emperor Jingshun raised his hand, and Huang Fuhai hurriedly walked over, helped Qin Zheng up from the ground, and sat down on the chair again.

Emperor Jingshun said: "This time, I ordered your father to mobilize the imperial doctor, and ordered the household department to allocate money and grain and send it to the epidemic area of Nanzhili. Since you have passed, you will take charge of this epidemic and relief for me. Well, the matter of money and food...... You are allowed to act cheaply, and pick two people to help you. The epidemic is as fierce as a tiger, and it can't be delayed, since you invite yourself to go, then go back and pack up, and set off tomorrow! ”

Qin Zheng listened respectfully, and after Emperor Jingshun finished speaking, he got up busily, thanked the leader, and was dismissed by Emperor Jingshun with a wave of his hand, "Fuhai, send him out of the ......."

Qin Zheng was helped out of the Dongnuan Pavilion by Huang Fuhai, and then turned around and walked outside the hall.

Huang Fuhai helped Qin Zheng and said in a low voice: "Master Hou...... Taking care of civil affairs is not as good as governing the army, Hou Ye went back first, and then the old slave received the holy decree golden arrow, and sent it to Hou Ye! ”

When Qin Zheng returned to the Jingbei Hou Mansion, a physician immediately rushed over to clean up the bleeding wound for him, and bandaged it with medicine. After resting for a while, setting up lunch, Qin Zheng took a bowl and was about to eat, when Qin Junyi broke in angrily from outside.

Qin Zheng hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to greet him: "Father, have you had lunch?" If you don't use it, eat it together! ”

"Eat, what to eat, I make you angry, where can you still eat!" Qin Junyi slapped his palm on the kang table angrily, shaking the bowls and bowls together, and several girls also trembled, and they didn't dare to make a sound even if they hung their heads and forced their hands.

Qin Zheng waved his hand, and the girls and mothers-in-law retreated quickly and closed the door as if they were in amnesty. In the blink of an eye, only Qin Zheng's father and son were left in the house.

"Father, you can also see that as long as the son is in the capital, he will not think about peace for a moment, and if he is injured, those people will not let go...... In such a situation, it is necessary to be careful every day, and not to mention that if there is a mistake, it is likely to be a monstrous disaster. The son thought about it for many days, and only then did he get such an excuse to go out of Beijing, to be loyal to the king, and to avoid all kinds of disasters...... Moreover, his son's military achievements are too heavy, and he has to think of a step back. It was just because of this plague that I gradually took care of chores...... After the plague, his son tried to ask for orders to control the river workers of the Luo River...... If you can get the emperor's permission......"

Speaking of this, Qin Zheng paused slightly, walked to the door neatly, and instructed the girl outside the door: "Qing Kite, send someone to the kitchen to ask for a meal again...... Ordered someone to retreat outside the courtyard, and you yourself stood guard outside the door. ”

A tall and beautiful woman answered in a low voice, and in a blink of an eye, all the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard dispersed outside the courtyard. He ordered Qingping and Qinghe to go around the courtyard to see, and Qinghe sat in the hall at the entrance of the courtyard, drinking the tea brought by the little girl while waiting carefully.

After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he watched the girl's mother-in-law retreat cleanly, then closed the door and turned back, sat opposite Qin Junyi, and said in a low voice: "This time, the emperor ordered the child to act cheaply, and pick two people who are good at dispatching grain and grass to take with him...... Therefore, the child reasoned that when the plague receded, the child continued to ask for the order of the river workers,...... There is also a certainty of seven or eight points that will be allowed. After the river is repaired, the time can be long or short. Without a child in Beijing, the father doesn't have to worry so much, just do everything in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Qin Junyi listened to the eldest son's words, and the anger when he entered the door just now had already dissipated a lot. Looking at his son's pale face but still calm and indifferent, somehow, I thought of the two concubines in the family and the young second son, not to mention the young second son, that is, the eldest son who is only four years younger than the eldest son...... On the other hand, the eldest son, not to mention his young age and outstanding military achievements, has become more and more mature in the court's response, and his vision is so far-sighted that even he is inferior to his father.

As a result, Qin Junyi couldn't help but remember the gentleness and grace of his late wife...... Pantothenic acid in his heart, he sighed secretly, he was ashamed of this mother and son after all!

Qin Junyi's expression faded into anger, but he also fell down, and commanded happily: "Since you have considered it carefully, then the father will not stop you." But you also have to remember that there are still ...... at home As a father, you also have to take care of yourself, the epidemic prevention and plague drive away naturally those doctors have to do, and you can't do anything when you enter the epidemic area, so it is better to coordinate and manage outside. ”

Qin Zheng responded respectfully, and listened to Qin Junyi say again: "This time, I arranged six imperial doctors for my father to go to the epidemic area, one of them is Cheng Wenxian, who treated your injuries, let him follow, and feel at ease for my father." ”

After telling these words, Qin Junyi became more and more depressed, rolled his eyes astringently, and looked away from his eldest son - his son's body and nose are like him, but his face and eyebrows are very similar to his deceased wife - maybe because of this, every time he sees this child, he always reminds him of his own injustice, yes, he always subconsciously doesn't want to see this son who was once regarded as a treasure by him!

It's just that when he learned that his son went to the palace with an injury to invite himself and go to the epidemic area for his father, he couldn't ignore it anymore. At that moment, he realized that he had lost a lot of money, and he had no ability to compensate for it.

Lowering his eyes, he took a sip of tea, and felt that the astringency in his throat was slightly better, Qin Junyi said, "...... You're not too young anymore, well, it's time to talk about kissing when you come back this time...... I'll ask your mother to choose some for you, and you'll see for yourself when the time comes......"

This time, Qin Zheng didn't agree, but said lightly: "There's no need to discuss it at this time...... Princess Fu'an's ......"

"Yes, then I won't mention it for now." Qin Junyi also came over suddenly, got up stupidly, and said as she walked out, "Tomorrow when you leave Beijing, my father will not come to your side alone......

He found that at some point, there was very little that he, the father, could do for his eldest son...... His eldest son had already grown into a man who could stand up to the sky and the earth alone when he was not paying attention!

Qin Junyi left in frustration and did not let Qin Zheng send it.

Qin Zheng insisted on sending his father to the gate of the main courtyard, watching Qin Yi lead his father away and away, bypassing a section of the flower wall and not being able to see it, but he was still standing there.

How long has it been since his father has been so concerned about him? Moreover, he suddenly discovered that Junyi's son, who was promoted as the most beautiful man in the capital back then, had a fat body, his waist was no longer so tall and handsome, and his hair even had a little gray hair...... At some point, my father has shown obvious old age.

After writing a summary of the epidemic prevention measures, the next day came the three-day period of Qiu Chen, Yun and Liao.

Qiu Chen went to the Guangong Temple early in the morning to see, most of the patients in the Guangong Temple have no obvious symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, but after a serious illness, the body is very weak, and the remaining symptoms are also alleviating, and there are no critical patients. Qiu Chen looked at it and discussed with Tian Langzhong to separate all the patients who had no obvious symptoms, thoroughly clean and bathe, and then arrange for further treatment and recuperation in the cleaned room.

Because the patients have improved in large numbers, the family members and young people who were busy and tired before are also much more relaxed, Qiu Chen also discussed with Tian Langzhong to divide these people into two shifts and work in shifts, so that it is also convenient for the family members to rest and clean.

Coming out of the Guan Gong Temple, Qiu Chen turned back to the county office, took a bath again, changed the clothes of the plot, and rode to the blockade checkpoint.

Waiting at the blockade checkpoint were not only Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, but also Yun Yizhou, the prefect of Anyang, and Hu Yanxun, the commander of the command.

Qiu Chen looked at the crowd of people outside the checkpoint, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned over and dismounted calmly, handed over the reins to Qin Li behind him, and slowly walked forward.

"Hehe, Mrs. Lin really saved countless people this time, and her merits are immeasurable! Mrs. Lin has worked hard! Yun Yizhou smiled and got up to say hello.

Qiu Chen smiled and arched his hand: "I've just done some trivial things, I don't deserve Lord Yun to say that!" ”

As he spoke, he also slightly bowed his hand to Huyanxun next to him: "Lord Huyan!" ”

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing also walked over, but they could only stand behind Yun Yizhou and did not have the right to speak. Qiu Chen glanced at the two of them and smiled and gestured.

"Mrs. Lin is too modest. The old man already knows what you have done in Qinghe, it can be said that you can stop the plague in just one month, it is really a great achievement, the old man has already written an excerpt and submitted it, presumably, the emperor will be pleased to know it...... "Yun Yizhou opened his mouth is a long compliment, Qiu Chen was secretly vigilant, I am afraid that Wu Yunqiao is really accurate.

She smiled slightly, listened quietly, and sure enough, after Yun Yizhou praised him at length, he paused slightly, changed his words, and continued: "Lin Niangzi took action to relieve the people and the people from hanging upside down, and the merit is infinite...... It's just that now the people of Pi County are still ravaged by the epidemic, and many people die of the epidemic every day, and the old man knows that Lin Niangzi has worked very hard these days, but for the prefect of Anyang, the old man has to come cheekily to ask Lin Niangzi to ask Lin Niangzi to enter Pi County again and save the people of Pixian County from fire and water...... The old man is here to salute Mrs. Lin! ”

As he spoke, he actually swept Qiu Chen to the ground across the horse, which was already the most solemn etiquette except for kowtowing.

Not to mention Yun Yizhou's identity, that is, age, Qiu Chen would not accept this gift, yes, when Yun Yizhou bowed, he dodged to avoid it, and when Yun Yizhou got up, Qiu Chen said: "Lord Yun is like this, isn't it a begonia!" ”

Yun Yizhou shook his head with a heavy expression and said: "Mrs. Lin disregarded her personal safety, waded into danger, and saved the people from fire and water, the old man's gift not only represents himself, but also represents the Qinghe people who were saved by Mrs. Lin, and the people of Pixian County who eagerly hope that Mrs. Lin will save her life, this ceremony, Mrs. Lin can not only accept it, but also should accept it calmly!" This is the heart of the old man on behalf of the people! ”

Qiu Chen really wants to roll his eyes? This Yun Zhifu is cunning and cunning, and he has said all the good things, so Qiu Chen has completely been completely ignored by his words, and if he doesn't go to Pi County, he will ignore the lives of hundreds of people in Pi County...... What an old fox!

Since this old fox squeezed her and praised her to catch up with Guanyin, who was rescuing the suffering, then she might as well fight for some welfare for the people of Qinghe!

"With Lord Yun's love for the people, what I do is really insignificant...... "Who wouldn't pat on the back?" Hello, hello, everyone! Qiu Chen still doesn't believe it, there are so many rich Internet, film and television, and literary materials for reference, she doesn't dare to say anything else, if she is cheeky and sycophant, she is still very confident!

She didn't say much, and as soon as she finished saying a few words of flattery, Qiu Chen changed the topic, "Although the epidemic in the epidemic area has been basically controlled, most of the people who have been treated are very weak and ...... in a short period of time At least I couldn't work in the fields for half a year, and seeing that autumn was in winter, most people's fields were abandoned, not only was there almost no autumn grain, but there was no way to do autumn planting...... There are also many old people and children who have lost their support, alas, it is really pitiful, and these have to be settled by Lord Yun. Compared to Lord Yun, I just used the methods of my predecessors to save people, which is really nothing. ”

Yun Yizhou was said by Qiu Chen, the smile on his face gradually faded, and after Qiu Chen finished speaking, Yun Yizhou reluctantly smiled bitterly and shook his head: "These...... There's always a way. A message has been sent from Jingli, and the relief from the imperial court is about to be allocated, these ...... If there is something insufficient, the old man must take the lead, and then find a way to be comprehensive! ”

Qiu Chen immediately bowed his knees and said, "In this way, Begonia will salute and thank Lord Yun for the people." Presumably, the people can successfully pass this catastrophe, and they will always be grateful for the immeasurable virtue of adults! ”

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing stood behind Yun Yizhou and Hu Yanxun, originally embarrassed and anxious, but after listening to Qiu Chen's words, they couldn't help but dissipate a lot. Seeing that Yun Yizhou was squeezed by Qiu Chen's stupid face, but he had to force a smile to deal with it, Yun Jichen lowered his head and snickered very unkindly.

His father always calculates others, and this time he was also calculated by Qiu Chen in person...... Ahem, really, it's a rare sight!

It was barely a city, but Qiu Chen had to agree to Yun Yizhou's request, and when he returned to Qinghe County, he began to pack up and prepare to go to Pi County.

The night before leaving, Wu Yunqiao came over for dinner again. Qiu Chen made an exception and let Chen scald two pots of wine.

Taking a sip of wine, Qiu Chen sighed: "I really let Master Wu say it!" ”

Wu Yunqiao has no other hobbies, but he loves wine, and in the past, when he was free, he would always perm a pot of wine every night and pour himself a drink. Since Qinghe had an epidemic, he has been busy on patrol almost every day, and this is the first time he has drunk. It's just that Wu Yunqiao is no better than those reckless men, he doesn't drink heavily, he just squeaks and squeaks the wine and tastes it carefully.

Hearing Qiu Chen's words, Wu Yunqiao raised his head from the wine glass and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid it's also a little worry, with Mr. Qiu's sentiment, he can enter the Qinghe epidemic area without hesitation, and naturally he won't watch the people of Pixian County suffer, presumably, even if there is no Lord Yun, Mr. Qiu will rush to Pixian County...... Ha Luha, speaking of which, not only is Xiao Ke worrying about it, but Lord Yun is also a villain in vain! ”

Wu Yunqiao didn't see Yun Yizhou's expression at that time, but he also heard that Qiu Chen had squeezed Yun Yizhou to promise to find a way to make a living for the disaster, thinking about the old fox being deflated, Wu Yunqiao felt happy, and he had some regrets. It's a pity why he didn't go with him, so that he could see Yun Yizhou's wonderful expression at that time!

Qiu Chen glanced at Wu Yunqiao, who was smiling happily, took another sip of wine, and said lightly: "Although Lord Yun agreed to think for the livelihood of the victims, it is impossible to think that it will be sufficient, and the difference will still be troubled by Lord Wu." In addition......"

After a pause, Qiu Chen glanced at Wu Yunqiao, whose expression had basically not changed, and knew that this Wu County Commander must have thought about this time in advance, and looking at his appearance, he should also have a way to deal with it. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, although this Lord Wu is a little stubborn, he is a good official who really thinks about the people. It's just that after this epidemic, I don't know if this good official can continue to do it!

“…… Lord Wu also has to plan early, but I am afraid that after the epidemic is over, the court's reward and accountability will come down. ”

The reason why Qiu Chen said this was because after contact with Wu Yunqiao, this Lord Wu did a lot of things, but he didn't know at all, or he didn't care about socializing with his fellow officials, let alone pandering to him. For such people, there is a country proverb that is very appropriate - pushing the grind and grinding the roller, thankless! --It's about people like Wu Yunqiao, who has good things and doesn't have him, but if he is held responsible, I'm afraid that the first one will be able to count him. This has nothing to do with Yun Yizhou's official character, it is just human nature, and no one is willing to promote a lonely and unruly person!

Wu Yunqiao laughed for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "To tell the truth, I was full of ambition and ambition when I was studying, and I thought that one day I would be named on the gold list, and I would benefit the party as an official." can really be an official, do it conscientiously, and consciously have a clear conscience for the people, but he is excluded everywhere and criticized in everything...... Originally, there was no epidemic, and I planned to resign and return to my hometown at the end of my term. My wife farms and raises children at home, and it is really hard not to enjoy a little happiness with me for so many years. When I go back to my hometown, I can also help her a little bit, so that she can save a little! …… Now that there is this epidemic, I don't care if I go to the government and stay in office. When I went to the government, I also returned to my hometown two years early, ploughing and studying every day, or starting a school again, teaching three or two children, but for the rest of my life, I was more comfortable than in this officialdom. ”

Hearing him say this, Qiu Chen was speechless. Taishan has changed, his nature is difficult to change, and it is impossible to change Wu Yunqiao's character. Also, she was worried about it in the first place.

These words made the two of them lose interest in talking, Wu Yunqiao drank the wine in one gulp, got up and bowed to Qiu Chen and said: "No matter what happens to Xiao Ke, it is still the Qinghe County Order, for Mr. Qiu's great kindness to the people of Qinghe, Xiao Ke has thanked the people for Qinghe!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't dodge, but respectfully returned the salute and didn't say anything more. He respects her for healing and saving people, and she respects him for his dedication to the people, and they both know each other in their hearts.

Early the next morning, Zeng Daniu and Chen were left to pack up and load the car, and Qiu Chen was escorted by Qin Li, drove a carriage, and went straight to Zhoujiazhuang out of the city.

Sister-in-law Zhou's maiden family, Qiu Chen has been paying attention to it these days, the situation is okay, Zhou's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all fine, and a nephew has recovered from the disease. Qiu Chen had also sent some rice grain before, but he did not identify himself. This time, she was going to leave Qinghe and go to Pi County, Qinghe would be locked down for at least two months, and she brought more than a dozen bags of rice, as well as many ingredients sent in by Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, she loaded a car and sent them to Zhou's house. quietly told Zhou's mother his identity, and carefully told some precautions before leaving with peace of mind.

When I heard that Qinghe was sealed, the first thing I thought of was Yang Shuyong and Zhou, and I was anxious. Treat others with herself, presumably the Zhou family is also thinking about her parents and relatives all the time, and she should do her best to help the Zhou family take care of the Zhou family.

didn't stay in Zhou's house for too long, Qiu Chen and Qin Li went back to the county office.

Zeng Daniu and Chen have already packed their bags and loaded their cars. When the cart came, it was full, and when it was time to leave, except for Qiu Chen, who had half a cart of bedding rolls, the rest of the cars were empty.

The news of Qiu Chen's departure was not spread, and a big car quietly left the Qinghe County Office.

But Qiu Chen obviously made a mistake in his estimation, such a big carriage was enough to swagger through the streets of Qinghe County, which was depressed and cold. These days, there are also some people in the county who know Qiu Chen, and they know that it was she who stayed in Qinghe, controlled the spread of the plague, and saved the lives of those people...... Seeing Qiu Chen riding a carriage out of the city, someone soon stepped forward to ask.

Qiu Chen couldn't lie, so he told the truth. Unexpectedly, the news spread extremely quickly, and by the time Qiu Chen and his party left the city gate, hundreds of people had already followed on both sides of the carriage and behind the carriage, and the number was still increasing.

Some people cried and begged Qiu Chen not to leave, after all, the epidemic in Qinghe County has not been completely cleared, and there are still hundreds of people living in the Guan Gong Temple who have not come out of the village!

Qiu Chen looked at the people gathered more and more, listening to the higher and higher crying voices, knowing that it was okay to ignore the road like this, so as soon as the convoy left the city gate, Qiu Chen ordered Qin Li to stop, she walked out of the carriage, stood on the wheel, and made a circle to the people who surrounded her, straightened up, and said loudly: "Everyone, fathers, please don't cry." Since I have come here to fight the epidemic with my fathers, I will no longer put my fathers in danger! ”

After a pause, waiting for the voices of the people to calm down slightly, Qiu Chen said again: "No one in our Qinghe County has been sick for twelve days. The patients living in the Guan Gong Temple have not died for ten days. The situation in the villages and towns below is similar, and no one has fallen ill and no one has died for a few days, which shows that the epidemic in our Qinghe County has been controlled, as long as the villagers deal with it according to the method we have formulated, pay attention to cleanliness, do not eat raw food, do not sound raw water, the epidemic will not occur again. ”

Someone shouted below: "Mr. Qiu, if you leave, what will happen to those patients who are not yet well?" What if they're sick again when you're gone? ”

Before the voice fell, many echoes rang out in the surrounding voices.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Folks, don't worry too much. Most of the time, I just look around, but in fact, it is Mr. Langzhong in our county who treats the villagers and asks for medicine and prescribes medicine. Now that the epidemic has been brought under control and I leave, it is natural that those gentlemen will continue to treat those patients. Rest assured, the gentlemen in Langzhong in our county have good medical skills and sufficient medicinal materials, and the patients who have not yet recovered will soon be cured. In addition, some patients have basically recovered, but they are still living in various treatment centers and have not returned home because they are too weak to prevent re-infection, and those who are weak and need to recuperate after serious illnesses. Therefore, the villagers don't have to worry, they don't have to be afraid, just live in peace. ”

"I am very touched and ashamed of the deep affection that the villagers have for me. However, the epidemic situation in Pi County is still severe, and many people are still sick every day, and many people die from the epidemic every day...... Thinking that they are also simple villagers like us, presumably among the villagers, there are also many people in Pixian County who have relatives and friends, I saw those who died of epidemic disease in our Qinghe, and they were still thinking about their parents, wives and children when they were dying, they were unwilling to die, unwilling to worry...... Looking at our surroundings, there are elderly people who have lost their children in this epidemic and will have no one to support them in the future. There are also children who have lost their parents and have no one to support them in the future...... Treat yourself to others, and the villagers say, should I go over and try my best to control the epidemic so that no one will die of illness? ”

When these words came out, the clamor asking Qiu Chen to stay gradually subsided, and some people had tears on their faces, but they were no longer afraid of Qiu Chen's fear of leaving the epidemic again, but tears of thinking of their relatives and friends who died in the epidemic, and thinking of the pitiful situation of those lonely old orphans......

Qiu Chen saw that the people's mood had calmed down a little, so he bowed down again and saluted everyone, got up and waved his hand: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, don't worry, I will go to Pi County, which is only a few dozen miles away from Qinghe, and it is only two or three hours to ride a horse, and it is very convenient to come back." Xie Lu, thank you for seeing you off, folks, please go back! ”

As he spoke, Qin Li drove the horses back on. The people who had been surrounded by emotion before consciously retreated to both sides, making way for their convoy.

Being able to leave smoothly, Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. She was already in the car, but she couldn't lower the curtains.

The people outside the car shouted: "Mr. Qiu, when will you come back?" ”

Some people also shouted: "Mr. Qiu, you have stopped the epidemic in Pixian County and come back!" ”

Qiu Chen didn't say anything, and she couldn't say anything, she held the curtain of the car and waved to the people on both sides.

I don't know who said that a basket of wild vegetables was put on the wheel: "Mr. Qiu, this is a mushroom that was just dug up, it's not a good thing, let's give you something to eat!" ”

Someone put two eggs in the vegetable basket: "Mr. Qiu, these are the two eggs that my mother boiled, take them to you on the road!" ”

Someone hurried over and put what was probably the only chicken left in the family on the carriage, "Mr. Qiu has worked hard these days, this chicken is stewed to make up for your body!" ”

……

More came one after another, and most of the people who came later came prepared, either carrying a handful of vegetables, or a few eggs, or a bag of candy that was treasured at home......

The empty carriage was filled with a lot of things, and gradually it became more and more numerous.

It's messy, it's worthless, it's something that has been left on the shelf for too long...... But Qiu Chen has been deeply moved by this simple gift, this simple and sincere words......
