XXXVII. Get out of hell on earth early
Not to mention how everyone laughed at Fan Niangzi's obvious heart, nor did it mention that Fan Niangzi was annoyed and angry. After the doctor finished diagnosing Fuluo's maid, it took a long time to think about it, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had an answer. He hurriedly came out, opened the medicine box and took the filthy medicine, wiped it on the end of his nose, and put it in his mouth, and wanted to say to people, seeing that no one was staying with him, so he hurriedly took a bath by himself, and saw that there was still no one, so he found it himself, and heard laughter from a distance, and heard the sound of scolding swords, and he thought: "It's bad, the robbers are strife." Think again: "That's a good thing!" They all beat each other to death, and I took away all the gold and silver treasures, and reported to the government for a meritorious service, and I became a rich man -- hey, no, if I reported to the official, the gold and silver treasures would go to the government! What's wrong with me? It seems that I have to be taken away without suing the prosecutor - if the officials find out, shouldn't I be one of the thieves? "Thinking about it, hesitating and making a decision, it's really heartbroken.
And the robbers fought for a long time, and they didn't see who was killed or injured, and at the end of the jade stop roared: "It's too idle, isn't it?!" ”
The robbers stopped in disbelief. Fan Niangzi looks the most aggrieved. The hands stopped, the mouths didn't stop, they were still fighting there, and they heard a quiet voice: "Everyone is in good spirits?" ”
This sound came out, like a phoenix language, this is called the sound of a hundred birds. Fan Niangzi didn't know where to go, her hands were twisted in her clothes, and her eyes were already begging for mercy and admitting her mistake. Chi Tao's expression was also restrained, so he greeted him. A circle of people greeted him. Butterfly smiled tiredly and pulled the cloak and said, "I'm not good." You're not getting things right. ”
Jade Blocker scratched his head: "Oh, we didn't do things well? "As he spoke, his heart was empty. I feel like there are piles of tasks left unfinished. But which one exactly? I couldn't tell for a while.
Butterfly Xiaohua has pinched her fingers and said: Someone's road, someone's item, which step should be done on a certain day in a certain month, and where is it now? Say a word, get rid of a bunch of people. Only halfway through the conversation, all the people who had already met each other left. Fan Niangzi was left in the light, bowed her head and said, "Yangongzi, I'll give you a messenger." ”
Butterfly smiled and said, "Well, you did a good job." You've brought two more meatballs? ”
"Yes." Fan Niangzi explained the origin of the master and maid of Fuluo, "If you don't fish for nothing, you won't fish for nothing." Raw or cooked, we all make money for nothing. ”
Butterfly smiled and said, "They're all sick. You're going to leave it alone? Even if it's dead. I have to give them a bury pit. ”
Fan Niangzi's face was red: "Immortal." Immortal. I told the doctor to watch it. ”
Butterfly smiled and asked, "Where did the doctor go?" ”
When the doctor heard it outside, the anger in the sky turned into peace, and the people stopped fighting, and asked him about it! He pondered. It's better to be aware of the times. Don't wait for Fan Niangzi, "I'll go find him!" He himself obediently came over and reported: "Go back to the salt bar." Back to the eldest lady, I know what is wrong with them. ”
"What disease?"
"Infected with corpse plague!" The doctor said, "Everyone, wash up." Take your medicine! ”
Originally, the great plague was prone to follow. When the doctor said this, everyone believed it. Suddenly, chickens and dogs jumped in the village. Bitter Fuluo master and maid, no one dares to send soup and water, not to mention it. Everyone took a bath and cleaned their bodies, took all kinds of defilement drugs for internal and external application, and the existing ones were not enough, and they had to be transferred from the outside. These drugs are also in short supply. Butterfly Xiaohua originally stocked up a little after the flood, not too much, and now there is no need to sell it, so she will be transferred back to her own people first. The loss of money is beyond calculation, just don't cost people's lives.
If you are really afraid, you will come to whatever you are afraid of, so be careful, the epidemic has spread. The doctor fell first, and several brothers also fell ill one after another. Everyone inevitably complained about Fan Niangzi: "What kind of meat? Invited two plague gods back! ”
Fan Niangzi was ashamed, and in a fit of anger, she returned to kill herself. The jade barricade hurriedly blocked it. Fan Niangzi said with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, it's my fault, I'll take it." You let me die and apologize! ”
Butterfly smiled and said: "It's not a pity for you to die, and go and take care of the sick brothers." ”
That's a good place to settle. It turned out that those who were sick would not have spread the plague even more violently if they had mixed with the able-bodied, so they were isolated in another place, together with the lord and maid of Fuluo, and still no one dared to go in and help them to eat and drink. Butterfly Xiaohua looked at them pitiful, Fan Niangzi simply wanted to commit suicide to apologize, it was better to go in and serve, in case of illness, it would be just a death.
At that moment, Fan Niangzi nodded in agreement, and brought a set of things like cooking and cleaning, and went there. Butterfly smiled when he came back, and Lin Dai looked at him differently than usual. He used to be always cowardly, like willow silk tired of swinging in the wind, and he didn't know when he could stop, but at least there was a treetop for him to carry. Now he was silent, as if the wicker had been woven into a basket, and he was about to bear the weight, he was tougher than anyone imagined, so he held it silently, Lin Dai looked helpless, and said: "I want to ask you to let me go, but you don't agree." I'm going to take this opportunity to mess with you, and I see you're so pitiful. ”
Butterfly Xiaohua listened to her say this, smiled, and walked in front of her. She was sitting, and he sat next to her, and there was no stool, but he sat down in the chair, with his head resting on her lap.
Lin Dai said: "The ground is damp. Don't get sick too, get up. ”
Butterfly Xiaohua asked, "Even you've heard about it?" ”
Lin Dai said: "Hmm." ”
Butterfly Xiaohua closed her eyes and said, "Then don't talk about it, let me rest for a while." ”
Lin Dai said no more. The weather near dusk was very sluggish, the sky and the earth were vast, and occasionally a gust of wind came, and the particles could be seen flickering and drifting near the door, and I didn't know whether it was dust, or the phosphorus powder left by the moths last night.
She looked at his head resting on her knees, and at first felt light, but slowly she felt a heavy weight, pressing against her legs, and not hurting her. Her hands didn't move, her eyes brushing his hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and the bridge of his nose. He was beautiful, as he had always been, and she knew it, and when she looked closely, she felt more and more: he really could stand up to scrutiny. is so beautiful, like a poem, and it is a poem that only people like Lin Yusheng and others can write, and every stroke is soaked in the innocence of thousands of years.
How could such a person become a bandit leader? Don't say anything to excuse selling salt as a crime in modern times. In ancient times, it was a felony, worse than murder and human trafficking. So these people really killed people and sold goods.
He must have had a very serious reason, she thought, to be forced down this path. But years of legal practice told her that the reasons are not always so important. It's the results that matter.
Now that he is lying heavily in front of her, does he want to accept it?
He opened his long, narrow eyes, his gaze was clear, and he didn't look at her, but asked, "Are you all right?" ”
Lin Dai suddenly cleared his heart and said, "It's okay if you're fine." ”
Butterfly smiled and turned her head slightly towards the hem of her skirt, as if to bury her face in the folds of her skirt, and asked the texture of the fabric if she meant it or not.
Her affection and concern for him was always genuine. It's just that her sanity allows her to express this affection? That's all.
"I just drove a woman who eats your jealousy into the ward." Butterfly smiled as if nothing happened.
"Oh? Woman? Isn't it a man? After Lin Dai was slightly surprised, he made a joke and brought the matter over.
Butterfly smiled too. Someone from outside came to report that a new brother had fallen ill.
In fact, if you fall ill, there is nothing else, it is just a send to the ward. If everyone is sick, then the whole cottage will be a sick cave, and there is no need to think about isolation.
Lin Dai asked Diexiaohua: "Didn't you do isolation?" Where is the sickness dying again? ”
Butterfly Xiaohua is worried about this.
He's not a doctor, so he can't cure the disease. But he is the ringleader and is responsible for the quarantine measures. A group of people are all sick, there is always a gap to drill, right? But he scrutinized every link, and even the filth was not transported from there, but was hidden and disposed of on the spot. How can this still spread? It's like a plague god spreading bad disease in the air!
Lin Dai didn't believe in God - even if she herself was brought over by those unreliable non-human officials, she still didn't want to believe that there was any plague god haunting! Coming from a modern age, she knows that infectious diseases are transmitted through germs, viruses and other things. Could it be that something is contaminated with the virus that continues to infect everyone outside? She persuaded Butterfly Xiaohua to burn everything that the patient had come into contact with, burn everything that could be burned, bury everything that could be buried deeply, and at least clean everything else, and do more disinfection, maybe it can cut off the source of infection. Preferably, there is a clean area where healthy people are evacuated first.
Butterfly Xiaohua has already sent someone to inquire. To clean the area, only go over the flooded area. The area affected by the flood is currently suffering from a great plague, and even the army does not dare to come in. In Gyeongnam Province, a huge province that has been ravaged by floods, the people have just escaped the fate of drowning, and they are about to die of illness in the blink of an eye. It doesn't matter if they get sick or die. It's right next to Kyoto! What should the nobles in the capital, especially the emperor, do? Are you also infected? The plague is passed on to people who do not choose whether they are high or low. At this time, the elites finally stopped saying "people are different from people, we are different from you". They admit that they are also fragile human bodies and are greedy for life and afraid of death. Therefore, isolating Gyeongnam Province is more important than saving them.
Salt sellers' cottages are also trapped in this area. If you want to escape, it's not impossible. But to flee that far is to completely abandon the sick brother. Morally speaking, it just can't be done.
The only people who can get out of this hell on earth in time are probably people like Yun Zhou and Tang Jingxuan who are lucky, have high status, and have active wrists - well, at least Yun Zhou's wrists are active.
They left Gyeongnam Province before the plague blockade. Fu Sanniang didn't have this kind of luck. The prefect did not dare to send such an obvious patient out of the country. Fu Sanniang had no choice but to stay here to "recuperate". (To be continued......)
