Chapter 116: The Plague

Xu really found a doctor to treat me, she was afraid that if I really had it, I would have to pay attention to it when the time came.

In my nervous state, the doctor took my pulse and told the people present that I was not pregnant.

I let out a sigh of relief, and the boulder in my heart finally fell to the ground. However, not everyone's expectations were the same as mine, and I saw Xu's extremely bad face, and looked at me as if I owed her money.

After Xu asked someone to send the doctor away, he left without saying a word.

I glanced at Zhuo Ran, and he actually smiled at me.

"What are you laughing at?" Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood, but when I look at him, my heart is not as depressed as before.

"Let's go, pack our things and go." Zhuo Ran said.

The place where Zhuo Ran took office was a place called Lan County, and I didn't ask him where he was, as long as it wasn't me, it didn't matter where he went.

This time when we went out, we were still in the carriage, Zhuo Ran and I, Xu, and Liu Piaopiao, the four of us were in a carriage, and there were four cars behind us.

We brought with us the maids and the family who were willing to go far away, so that they could take care of the old lady on the way.

There are two carriages for luggage, after all, this time I went to the post, I don't know how many years I will stay.

Because there are many people, we take the official road, which is much more convenient.

After walking for a few days, the road was quite peaceful, and we didn't encounter any mess, but at sunset on the ninth day, we arrived at a city gate, but we were stopped and not allowed to enter the city.

"Why?" After getting out of the car, I asked.

The soldiers defending the city ignored me.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am in a hurry to go to Tongzhou Lan County to take office, and I hope it will be convenient." Zhuo Ran said politely.

The soldier glanced at him and said disdainfully, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Lan County Order." Zhuo Ran replied.

"You can't go over that, let's take a detour." The soldier said.

I took out a few ingots of broken silver and said, "The military masters have worked hard, please have a cup of tea with this bit of silver." ”

I thought to myself, this is going down, but as a result, one of the soldiers said: "No amount of money can buy a life, you better take a detour, this is not allowed to pass." ”

"How can this work, it's almost dark, and it's too late to find a place to stay on the detour! Master Jun, you can do it, let us go! Xu also prayed.

"Is something going on?" Zhuo Ran said.

One of the soldiers said, "The plague has broken out in several surrounding villages, and in order not to enter the city, the envoy has ordered that no outsiders should enter the city." ”

"Ah...... This, Ran'er, today's lunch, we are in a tea shed at the edge of a village, no, ......no, no, no" The soldier's words frightened Xu's face worried.

"Mother, don't worry, it's okay." Zhuo Ran comforted his mother.

Speaking of the plague, I thought of Su Hao, the plague must be related to rats, if you ask him, you may be able to know what is going on.

However, the world is so big, where can I go to find him?

"Let's get in the car." Zhuo Ran shouted.

"Do you want to go around going back?" I say.

Zhuo Ran nodded, "Otherwise, you have a better way?" ”

"Of course there are ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, Zhuo Ran had already said, "Don't hurt them." ”

I wanted to say, "Am I like that bad person?", but in the end, "Isn't that just letting us in?" ”

As I spoke, I had cast a spell to enchant the gatekeepers, and under the control of my mana, they said, "Go in." ”

"Can I go in?" Xu was a little unsure.

"Mother, get in the car." After Zhuo Ran helped his mother up, he came to help me again, and gave me a special look, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what to think.

entered the city without hindrance, which provoked Xu Shi to say, "Strange, really strange......"

Finding a nice looking inn, we booked a room and had dinner at the inn.

Back in the room with Zhuo Ran, I sat down at the table and poured myself a cup of tea.

In order not to make the Xu family suspicious, I can only share a room with Zhuo Ran.

After Zhuo Ran packed up the belongings he was carrying, he said to me who was still drinking tea, "It's time to sleep." ”

Sleep and sleep.

I got up and walked to the bed, and saw Zhuo Ran take out a quilt from the cabinet in the room and spread it on the floor, and then take out one of his thick clothes and throw it on it.

"Isn't it cold to sleep like this?" Although the temperature is already rising, it is still a little cold at night.

"Are you going to blow the lamp?" Zhuo Ran asked me.

"Leave a lamp." I say.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, when we all packed up and went down to the inn lobby, the people passing by seemed to be panicked.

Lang Zhong, who was carrying a cloth bag on his back and holding a "Ancestral Secret Recipe" written on it, followed the innkeeper past us and went upstairs.

"Is this what happened?" Zhuo Ran said.

"Let's go, maybe someone is sick." I say.

After putting everything we had taken down into the wagon, we set off.

After walking all morning, just as we were about to go out of the city gate, we were stopped again and told that we could not go out of the city.

"Why?" Zhuo Ran lifted the curtain and asked.

I wondered, is it because I am afraid that the people in the city will get into trouble with the plague when they go out?

He heard the soldiers guarding the city gate reply: "The plague has broken out in the city, and the envoy has asked that the whole city be sealed off and that no one should enter or leave." ”

"This ...... This...... Isn't it a dead end for us to stay? Xu said worriedly in the car.

"Don't worry, it's okay." I comforted her.

"How can I let go of this! What can I do? Xu was so anxious that he burst into tears.

I was trying to do the same, to get out of the city like I had entered the city yesterday, when suddenly there was a soft sound on the roof of the car, as if something small had been smashed on it, and before I could figure out what it would be, there was more sound of "crackling", and it was getting more and more urgent, it turned out to be heavy rain.

Zhuo Ran's head shrank back from outside the door curtain, and he said, "It's raining heavily, if you don't leave today, let's find an inn in the city and stay first." Wait for the rain to stop before leaving. ”

"But a plague is breaking out in the city." Xu disagreed.

"But now it's raining heavily, and they won't let us go." Zhuo Ran said.

"Mother, don't worry, believe me, it'll be fine." I say.

"If something really happens, I don't care, if there are three long and two short, I will ask for you." Xu stared at me expressionlessly.

I didn't say anything more, and although I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw her talking to me like this, she was also anxious.

After comforting myself in my heart, I didn't pay much attention to it!

"Mother, are you cursing your son?" Zhuo Ran said suddenly.

"Phew! Sling the bull. Xu said as he patted his mouth twice with his hand.

"Mother, it's okay, Ran'er is joking." Zhuo Ran held his mother's hand. (To be continued.) )
