Chapter 192: Gathering Intelligence
After coming out of the old man's house, Nangong Xue sent the remaining antidote to the people's homes one by one, and asked some questions from the younger young people from time to time...... Just recently, or before the plague, did you notice anything special going on, or did you have any special people coming? But it was a pity that most of the people shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, seeing that most people had not been able to give an answer to her question that would lift her spirits along the way, Nangong Xue couldn't help but look a little melancholy.

Chen Jiayu looked at Nangong Xue so melancholy, so he followed a few steps and comforted: "Nangong Xue, don't be like this, maybe these people don't pay much attention to these things or people you ask on weekdays, but there will always be someone who knows." But what are these things for, you ask? ”
“……。” Nangong Xue stopped and turned her head to look at Chen Jiayu, and replied, "Even if it is an in-depth understanding of the situation of this incident." Because this disease is not caused by themselves, but from outside. Of course, this is still a speculation, and it has not been completely confirmed, but I just want to find out. ”
"Hmm. Got it. Chen Jiayu nodded slightly, "Then I'll help you ask, so that it can improve efficiency." ”
"Well, thank you very much." Nangong Xue smiled slightly and thanked him. After saying that, the two of them went to inquire about the news in two ways.
But not long after separating from Chen Jiayu, a little girl ran over at some point, pulled the hem of Nangong Xue's clothes, and said in a milky voice: "Big sister, my mother asked me to call you over, saying that she was a little impressed by what you asked, but I don't know if it will help you." ”
"Oh?" As soon as Nangong Xue heard that there was news, she replied in surprise, "That's really good, so I'll ask my little sister to take me down." ”
"Okay, please come with me." The little girl nodded in response, and as she spoke, she led Nangong Xue to the door of a house, and the little girl pointed to the door and said, "This is it, please come in with me." As she spoke, the little girl gently pushed the door open. Immediately, Nangong Xue also walked in.
As soon as she entered the gate, Nangong Xue saw that the courtyard was not very big, and the layout of the entire courtyard was the same as the courtyard in her impression, but it was relatively small. After sparing the wall, Nangong Xue saw a young woman sitting in the courtyard boiling Chinese medicine, when a breeze gently brushed her cheeks, and then brought the strong smell of Chinese medicine.
At this time, the little girl who led the way trotted to the woman's side and said, "Mother, I brought you the big sister." She was the one who asked on the street. ”
Then Nangong Xue first bowed politely, then stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Hello." My name is Nangong Xue. ”
"Hmm." The woman nodded slightly, "Please sit down, we hope you don't laugh in this humble house." ”
"No, no, no." Nangong Xue replied again and again, "That's good." ”
"Then I won't go around the bend with you," the woman put the fan in her hand aside and said straight to the point, "My name is Li Shuzhen, this is my mother's house, I heard you talking to someone at the door when I was boiling medicine today, you want to inquire about something, right?" ”
"Well, yes," Nangong Xue replied, "Then I want to ask if you noticed anything special happening just recently or before this plague, or if there was any special person here?" ”
“……。” Li Shuzhen thought lightly and replied, "I know a little bit about what you asked." But I don't know if it's the answer you want. ”
"Huh?" Nangong Xue replied, "It's okay, you can say it, whether it's the reply I want to hear or not, it's better than not being able to ask about anything." ”
"Oh, well. If that's what you want to hear, I'll tell you. Li Shuzhen replied, "Here's the thing: in the two or three days before the outbreak of this disease, a group of merchants came to Yunshui Village, and I saw that they were dressed like people from the Western Dynasty, but the leaders were people from our Central Plains. These people also sold things in Yunshui Village for a few days, all of which were transported from the Western Dynasty. They stayed at the Yuelai Inn for a few days and then left, but they walked on the front foot, and we got sick on the back foot, and I don't know if we ate the wrong thing, or what we came into contact with, and then if it wasn't for our county official Wen Shilong Wen invited you here, I am afraid that our hundreds of families would have to go to see the Buddha collectively. As he spoke, he couldn't help shedding a few tears.
“……。” Nangong Xue looked at Li Shuzhen calmly, paused slightly and comforted, "Eldest sister, don't be sad first, now we are doing our best to heal you, so you will definitely live well." But you just said that you were like that after the group left, you were like that, right? So what have you bought, can you tell me more about it? ”
"Uh-huh......." Li Shuzhen calmed down a little and continued, "I just bought some snacks and the like, and I didn't buy anything else, but everyone seems to have bought not only food, but also other things, such as cloth, some household things, etc." You see, I haven't remembered this as accurately in a long time. I can't remember a lot of them. ”
"Oh......." Nangong Xue nodded slightly in response, "Oh yes, then why didn't they remember this when I asked others?" How would you ....... ”
"That's not surprising." Li Shuzhen replied, "Yunshui Village is located on the border zone, and there are often some caravans coming and going here, and many people are used to it if they can't remember it, so it's normal not to remember them." The reason why I remember it is because I think it might have something to do with these people, but maybe it doesn't matter and I can't say it. ”
"Oh, that's right." Nangong Xue responded, "Then I understand." ”
"That's all I know, and I can't remember anything else. I can't remember it, because there were so many caravans passing by. Li Shuzhen added, "Hey, this Yunshui Village used to be very lively, but now it is ......." But now that we have you and we have hope for life, Lord Wen is really our good parent, oh yes, if you go back to your life, you must talk to Lord Wen well, if it weren't for him, there would really be no today. ”
"Hmm." Nangong Xue nodded and replied, "Don't worry, when you are all completely healthy, we will go back, and then we will tell the emperor what you want, I believe that the emperor will definitely reward Lord Wen when he knows about it." ”
"Then it's hard for you." Li Shuzhen thanked.
"You don't have to say that, these are all things we should do." Nangong Xue said, "Then I won't bother much, you boil out the medicine early, drink it for a few days, and when your body is better, we will come to see you." ”
"Hmm." Li Shuzhen replied, "Zao Zao, you go and send this big sister, my mother still has to boil medicine, so I won't send it." ”
"Yes, good mother." The little girl nodded in response, and sent Nangong Xue out as she spoke. (To be continued.) )
