"The plague?" All three spoke almost at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn the history of the Dajing Dynasty, there have been two large-scale plagues, one in Xiangzhou and one in the suburbs of Beijing, with countless casualties and wailing, and the people are panicking. Therefore, everyone talks about the plague and changes color.

"That's right! If you want to go to Yunnan, I advise you to avoid this time. Before, there had been bold merchants who entered, but none of them came out alive, which shows that the plague was rampant. The shopkeeper kindly reminded.

"Is there anyone around with the plague?" Wang Yizhu asked. If someone is sick, they might as well go and see what is going on, because it is the doctor's duty to treat the sick and save people.

"The plague has not yet spread, but it is true. In the past two months, people have been moving their families from Dali, and they all say that the plague is rampant inside, and if they don't move away, they can only wait for death. It is said that a man died within five days of the plague. Our Yunnan is the hometown of medicinal materials, and there are many famous doctors, but no one can cure them. Shopkeeper sat on the cold ground and looked up at the surroundings of the house, "If the plague is no longer under control, we are also ready to move out, and then this Xingyue Inn will become a ruined building!" ”

It turned out that the couple were not from Causeway Hill. Ten years ago, the two took a fancy to the huge business opportunities in Causeway Mountain, exhausted their family wealth, and built this luxurious mountain inn halfway up the mountainside, which has also been prosperous and famous in the past few years. Unexpectedly, today because of a plague, it ended up like this. The Xingyue Inn with a rich family is still like this, not to mention those small inns?

Nian Zaidian Xiaoer and the proprietress had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and there was another hidden situation, so the three of them stopped pursuing it and let the two go.

"Childe, are we going to enter this Yunnan or not?" Waiting for the shopkeeper and the proprietress to leave, He Xiaotian looked at Bai Lufeng and Wang Yizhu in silence, and opened his mouth to break the silence.

"If there is really a plague in Yunnan, how can the imperial court be indifferent? If the imperial court has taken action, it must pass through Causeway Mountain, but the shopkeeper and the proprietress did not mention half a word, and the imperial court did not know about it. Not only that, but a few days ago, I received a letter from Xu Qian Feige, which did not mention the plague, which is not in line with Xu Qian's style of doing things. Over the years, Xu Qian would inform all major events in the imperial court.

"All dynasties have attached great importance to the plague, and once the epidemic occurs, a large number of famous doctors must be sent to control it, and strictly control the personnel to go out, so as not to spread the disease and cause irreparable losses. Yunnan is a vast area, and the plague has been going on for months, and there must be a reason why the imperial court has not moved. Wang Yizhu once read the tragic situation of the plague in the book, which recorded that "the epidemic of warp, the pain of zombies in every family, and the sorrow of crying in the room." or die with the door closed, or lose the family. ”

The three of them decided to venture into Yunnan to find out.

Yunnan has many high slopes, and most of the houses are built on the mountainside, and they are mainly low thatched houses, stone houses, and wooden houses. About three hours after leaving Causeway Mountain, I heard intermittent sobbing sounds from the thatched hut beside the road. Listening to the voice, the person who cried should be a young woman in her teens.

Following the prestige, I saw a woman wearing linen and filial piety kneeling in the house and crying. In front of the woman was a corpse, a corpse covered with a white cloth to be exact, lying on a shabby yellow mat.

"Girl, why are you crying so sadly?" He Xiaotian stepped forward to ask.

The young woman stopped crying and looked up at the three of them, there were tears hanging from her big watery eyes, which made people feel pity, "Thank you for your concern, the little woman and her father have been dependent on each other for many years, but when I got up this morning, my father suddenly fell ill with a strange illness." grabbed the herbs and decocted them, but there was no improvement, but after half a day, they were dying. Speaking of sadness, the woman's tears fell again.

"Let me see!" Wang Yizhu's first thought was the plague. This place is only a few dozen miles away from Tongluo Mountain, could it be that the plague has spread here.

"My father has swallowed his breath, and his face is hideous, for fear that he will scare my sister." The woman whispered.

"It's okay, I'm a doctor." Wang Yizhu's identity as a doctor instantly calmed the woman's worries.

Wang Yizhu stepped forward and lifted the white cloth. The deceased was about forty years old, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt with three large patches on it, his face was purple, and he was no longer breathing. But Wang Yizhu found that the deceased still had residual warmth, "How long has your father been breathing?" ”

"About half a pillar of incense." The woman replied truthfully.

"There is still salvation!" Wang Yizhu found that the reason why the "deceased" was not breathing was because the airway was blocked, "Did your father eat anything this morning?" ”

"Sun-dried dates! There are three jujube trees in front of our house, which bear fruit every year, and the flesh is thin and thick, and no one buys it, so we can only eat it ourselves. The woman replied. Could it be that my father's death was related to those dates?

"That's the crux of the matter." Wang Yizhu helped the deceased up, and pushed his hands on his back several times, and the man suddenly spit out a jujube core and relieved himself. It turned out that this person was just choked by the jujube pit and couldn't breathe!

Seeing her father "dead and resurrected", the woman was so happy that she tore off the sackcloth on her body and threw it out of the door, hugging her father who woke up and crying bitterly, "Father, you finally woke up, scared me to death." Didn't you say that you want to watch Yanzi grow up and marry a good man, how can you leave it alone? ”

"Okay, good daughter, don't cry, it's all for the sake of my father. If this girl hadn't appeared in time, our father and daughter would really be separated from each other. The man hurriedly took his daughter and knelt in front of Wang Yizhu, "The girl's great kindness is unforgettable." After speaking, he kowtowed to Wang Yizhu three times. Wang Yizhu hurriedly helped the two up.

Looking around, I found that the family was almost surrounded by walls, and there was nothing in the thatched house except for two beds, one large and one small, plus an earthen stove.

The man claimed to be surnamed Yue, a local, known as Yue Lao, and his daughter's name was Yanzi, and the father and daughter had relied on each other for many years, "Our father and daughter have lived by digging medicinal herbs on weekdays, but in recent months, because of the plague, the pharmacists no longer enter Yunnan to buy, and we have also cut off our source of livelihood, and our lives have become even poorer." Although those sun-dried dates are unpalatable, they are life-saving food for us to live, but I didn't expect to almost lose our lives because of this. A few benefactors should be from other places, why did they come to Yunnan? ”

"Searching for someone." Wang Yizhu replied.

"Let's go back, Yunnan is not peaceful these days, and if you walk more than 40 miles, you will arrive at Fengkou Village, where someone suffered from the plague yesterday." Yue Laoqi persuaded, "Once you get sick, there is no possibility of survival, if there are any more people in Fengkou Village who are sick, I am also ready to take the swallows away from home." ”
