151 The Healer's Benevolence
The sun is very warm, but Su Yue's state of mind at this time is very desolate, this plague has only just begun, and it is not known how many people will die from the plague in the future.
But after all, King Gong is a golden body, if he is unwilling, how should this plague develop, and will it eventually be ruined, or? Next, Su Yue and Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The three of them were immersed in an atmosphere of sadness, and a knock was remembered outside the door.
Obviously, I have hung a rest sign today, but I don't know who is knocking on the door outside.
I thought that when I heard no movement inside, the people outside the door would automatically leave, but the knock outside the door became more and more urgent and heavier.
"Bang!" A loud bang shattered the peace in the backyard.
Su Yue and Shopkeeper Li glanced at each other, walked out of the backyard before and after, and went straight to the counter.
"Search for me!"
Before they could get out of the backyard, a large number of people dressed as soldiers poured in from the front yard, dressed in uniform official clothes and wearing ordinary long swords at their waists.
"Official, what are you doing here?" Shopkeeper Li greeted him with a smile, he has kept his duty for so many years, and he has basically had some holidays with the government on weekdays, but today I look at the rampaging posture of this official after coming in, it is a little unkind.
Shopkeeper Li smiled and took out a certain amount of silver from his long sleeves, walked to the head of the official, and stuffed the silver into the soldier's hand, the soldier was stunned at first, and then his face became much kinder.
"Let's check in the city, if there is any plague in your house?" The head was the oldest of the soldiers, about forty years old. He was not short, his right leg was a little lame when he walked, and his face was full of beard, and he put the silver in his sleeve, and suddenly smiled.
When the shopkeeper Li heard this, he secretly knew that something was wrong, it would not be good if this group of officers and soldiers searched the hut in the backyard where the medicinal herbs were kept, Xiao Hei had just died, if they knew that there were people who had committed the plague here, I was afraid that even a few of them would be arrested.
"Official, our Jiren Pharmacy has always kept our duty. It is true that they do not dare to hide the plague patients privately. I hope the official will see it! Shopkeeper Li nodded and bowed again, thinking that he would be able to settle things with a certain amount of silver, but the man who took the lead didn't seem to have any plans to leave.
"Something like the plague is a big deal, if it's not carefully investigated. We can't afford to check it out. But it's for the sake of losing his head. I hope that the shopkeeper will cooperate, as long as we have finished the search, there will indeed be no plague patients. In this way, we will have to go back to make friends! Although Li Pimple has not had any outstanding appearance for so many years, his leg was also broken by a sergeant of the enemy country during a foreign invasion, but fortunately, when the emperor was wise, let him, a disabled man, stay in the army, and the family will not sleep in the open air, he is still grateful to the current court, although sometimes he will take advantage of some small advantages, but he is never sloppy in major matters.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly took out two sets of silver from his sleeve.
Li Pimple looked at it with pimple, but the officials behind him were also watching, even if he received these two pieces of silver, the house must still be inspected.
The soldiers behind him saw that the head had tasted the sweetness, and they were a little reluctant in their hearts, but after all, Li Pimple was older, and he was the leader of their group, so although he complained in his heart, he didn't dare to speak out, and they were all on standby.
"Shopkeeper, I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that this plague is really important!" After Li Pimple finished speaking, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and said, "Everyone search for me, search carefully, don't let go of any corner!" ”
The soldiers received Li Pimple's instructions, and after a while, their efforts dispersed.
There was a banging sound in several houses in the backyard immediately, and the sound of searching constantly filled Su Yue's ears.
Even if it is the plague, Su Yue certainly knows that the matter is very important, and it is understandable for the court to do this, but when he waits, he may have to suffer Xiao Hei, life and death are human nature, maybe in the end, Xiao Hei will not even be able to keep a whole corpse.
The plague is like a tiger, once it spreads, maybe the lives in the city will be ruined, if the imperial court does not control it, tomorrow there may be thousands of people who die of the plague like Xiao Hei.
"Report!" A soldier rushed out of a shady hut in the backyard in a panic, and said to Li Pimple with a somewhat panicked expression: "There are dead people!" ”
The little soldier was not very old, maybe he had never even been on the battlefield at all, his voice trembled, and the little soldiers around him also gathered after hearing the sound.
"Come in with me!" Li Pimple gave an order and sent a few people in.
When he was on the battlefield, Li Pimple had never been afraid, even if he was broken by a soldier of the enemy country, he had no regrets, but now when he saw the corpse of the man lying in the shadows, the strange smell from the corpse made him scared from the bottom of his heart.
"Get out of here, everybody!" Li Pimple covered his nose, it was obvious that the people in the room were dying in a strange manner, and the smell emanating from him was by no means an ordinary stench, this smell made people smell more than dizzy, the people who came out of the house, except for Li Pimple, the rest of the soldiers were all vomiting on the ground.
This kind of plague is already very contagious, Su Yue and Shopkeeper Li used disinfectant to cover their mouths and noses before they dared to approach, and the infectiousness of the dead people, the incubation speed of bacteria on the corpse is even faster, so it is only an hour or two, and the corpse has begun to stink and pus.
Seeing that the shape was not good, Li Pimple took out the signal flare in his arms and lit it in the courtyard.
The white flare hit the air with a bang, and soon Su Yue heard a large number of footsteps from the street, and there should be no less than twenty people coming.
Su Yue eased up at this time, walked up to San'er, and patted him on the shoulder.
San'er raised his head, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, the impermanence of life was too unexpected for him, he still didn't believe that Xiao Hei, who was still staying together yesterday, was separated forever today. He didn't want Su Yue to see him crying, and he didn't want Su Yue to be sad when he saw him, but when his eyes met Su Yue's calm eyes, he was a little shocked.
In Su Yue's eyes, there was not the slightest hint of sadness, on the contrary, the bursts of care in those eyes made San'er feel less uncomfortable in his heart.
Raising his head, San'er stood beside Su Yue very well-behaved, like an obedient child, in my impression, San'er had never been so well-behaved before as he was today.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was Xuanyuan Yan in a silver-gray robe who led a large group of soldiers in, and not far behind him, Xuanyuan Che was standing in a white printed tunic robe.
The two of them were slightly stunned when they saw Su Yue, and Su Yue's gaze only stayed on the two of them for only a few seconds, and then she avoided them and looked away.
"Lord Wang, there are already plague-infected people dying in the house here!" Li Pimple gave up his life, and the soldiers who couldn't vomit because of the smell just now all stood up one after another, standing weakly behind Li Pimple. (To be continued......)
