Chapter 66 (Fighting the Plague I)

The depths of the endless grassland are yellow, and it is already autumn, and the trees are dry and the leaves are scattered everywhere.

Not far away, more than 20 houses built with wood, dead branches, and shrubs were full of plague patients, and half a month ago, Duo Ge Pei had already gathered all the patients infected with the plague in Suqi City and the grassland for treatment, Li Yan received the most special care, she had a special house, and there were people to take care of her daily life, and even the medicine was supervised by Duo Ge Pei.

On the day he first arrived, Yinuo carefully identified the ingredients of the medicine, "There are hay, bellflower, gypsum, water horn cattle, succulent ginseng, and the most important medicinal herbs, danpi, bamboo leaves, mast charcoal, forsythia, skullcap and red peony. ”

"There are no such medicinal materials in the radius of Su Qi City for hundreds of miles. Dogope explained.

"You have to find these medicines to cure the disease. "Inodo.

Duo Ge Pei nodded, "Leave this matter to Ke Mu, he will definitely be able to solve it." ”

"Aman. Seeing Ke Mu walking away, Yi Nuo said, "The most important thing at the moment is to isolate patients of different degrees, the house must be sprinkled with lime powder every day, and the newly infected patients should be allowed to stay outside as much as possible, the cold and damp house will make the condition worse, on the contrary, the light of the sun will extinguish some of the sterilization on the body." ”

"Good. Dogopé nodded, and called his men to tell him about it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ke Mu purchased all the medicinal materials, and Yinuo checked each medicinal material one by one, and after making sure that the medicinal materials were ready, he ordered someone to set up a cauldron in the courtyard, put all the medicinal materials into it, and boiled it for more than three hours, and then distributed it to everyone to drink, and then disinfected every corner of the courtyard with lime powder, even if everything was done, there were still people dying.

Dorgope forbade An Ning and Inuo to go near the quarantine area to avoid being infected by the disease, and An Ning and Ino would always stand not far from the house, watching the dead bodies being carried out, and An Ning would feel heartache whenever she saw the death of the sick and the desperate cries of their loved ones.

"They're a human life. An Ning said with her mouth exposed.

"Human life is predetermined, don't be sad, Miss. Ino reassured, but her expression was no better than An Ning's.

"You shouldn't be here. Dogo Pei came from afar, "You're going to be infected." ”

"I really don't want to see anyone die again. "Tranquil and uneasy.

"Miss Enoch has brought me a cure for the plague, and I am grateful. Dorgo Pei said.

"I wonder how long this plague will last?"

"This plague is not spreading very quickly, it is much lighter than the plague of five years. "Nearly 2,000 herders died that year, and we had no better way to treat them, so we killed more plague patients, and the infection was brought under control." ”

"Killed the plague patient?" An Ning turned to look at Dogope in surprise and looked at him uneasily, "So." She suspected, "This time your Abba continues to kill people to control his condition?"

"I'm not going to let that happen again. Dogopé assured.

An Ning shook his head, "Su Qicheng, your father has the final say, you can't be the master." ”

They walked away from the house, and Ke Mu ran from a distance to report, "Aman." He respectfully put his left hand on his right chest and bowed his head and said, "There are more than 60 plague people sent to Suqi City on the grassland, and Dorqi stopped them at the checkpoint, saying that the Great King has issued a killing order to kill all these patients, including those plague patients in Suqi City. ”

Duo Ge Pei moved his mouth angrily, "I'll go meet Daddy." ”

"I'll go with you. An Ning stepped forward to stop Dogo Pei.

"You stay. "I can't let Abba know that you're still here, I can solve these things." ”

An Ning nodded, "Be sure to bring them back." ”

Duo Ge Pei nodded, and Pei turned to leave and ordered Ke Mu, "We don't have many houses, I'm afraid we can't accommodate these people, so I ordered to go down and use all my troops to build houses." Also, send people to the herdsmen, and bring all the patients who have a fever here. ”

Duo Ge Pei and Ke Mu had already walked away on the horse, An Ning was very worried, she wanted to follow, but there were no horses, it seemed that there was only walking, "Let's not make trouble for Aman." Yinuo's words calmed Anning's heart, yes, she couldn't go to meet the Maharaja, she and Yinuo hid here for six days, and nothing leaked out.

When the sun was in the west, his men brought wood, branches, and weeds from afar, and they used thick logs to set stakes, branches to build walls, and weeds to make roofs, and it was a little cold at night to build such houses in this season, and the piles and branches for building houses on the grassland were limited, so they could move everything they could to make sure that the houses were built to the best of their ability.

Before dark, An Ning and Yinuo went to see Li Yan, her condition improved a little under the careful care of the subordinates, her forehead was still a little hot, and her lips were a little dry and purple, but the festering skin on her face had begun to heal slowly, and her skin began to be rosy.

"Sister, when will my illness be cured?" asked Li Yan in a faint voice.

Ino drove away the tattoos on her body, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "The ulcers on your face have begun to heal slowly, and it won't be long before you can go home." ”

"...... home?" Li Yan looked up at the ceiling, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Yinuo carefully observed Li Yan's expression, "Don't you want to go home? Your father and mother are waiting for you to go back." ”

"Nope. Li Yan's sad expression floated on her face, "My mother died of a plague three years ago, and my father found another woman and gave birth to two children. I really like my sister who came here six months ago, she is so much like me, I often stand in the door and sneak a few glances at my sister, she is really cute, she can play by herself at such a young age, and she will giggle somewhere. From the beginning of my fever, my mother threw me into a dark grass hut, I was very thirsty, and I had nothing to eat, so a few days later a steamed bun was delivered. Officers and soldiers searched for plague patients from house to house, and I was dragged to Suqi City by a group of sick people in a coma, and then I met you, and I have never seen my father until now. Before leaving, my mother said that if I could disappear like this, she would be relieved to tell my father that this was the beginning of their happy life. If I return alive, she will have my father sell me into slavery. ”

Yinuo's nose was sore, tears were rolling in her eyes, she straightened Li Yan's messy hair, "Get up, sister will help you wash your hair." ”

Li Yan nodded, got up with the help of Yinuo, who poured hot water into the basin, helped her clean up, and helped her braid her young lady-style braids.

An Ning finished feeding the medicine for another old grandmother and walked towards Yinuo, "It seems that Li Yan's illness is much better." ”

"She was destined to be a lonely and miserable child. Enoch tied a gray ribbon in her coiled hair, sat down on a long bench, took Li Yan's hand, stranded the ends of her forehead and said to An Ning, "How can life keep her from harm?"

"I know you're kind to Enoch too. An Ning caressed Li Yan's face lovingly, "But there are some things that we can't control."

"Miss. Ino turned his head to her, "Can I take her with me? I want to take her away from here, I want her to be unharmed in the future." ”

An Ning pursed her lips and sighed, "If you can take care of her, then let her stay with you, but there is one thing, you have to make it clear to her family before leaving." ”

"Miss, did you agree?" said Ino, getting up from his chair.

"After following me for so long, you have no regrets, how can I refute your request. An Ning said with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss. ”

"You're so kind to me. An Ning's smile became more and more obvious.

Yinuo pulled Li Yan closer to her side, squatted down, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and told her with a serious expression, "Li Yan, would you like to leave here with me, go to a place where there is no harm and no pain?" she waited for her answer with her eyes.

"Do you want me to be your slave?" Li Yan asked without understanding, raising her head.

Yinuo smiled and pinched Li Yan's nose with his hand, "I will love you for the rest of my life, will I be my sister?"

"Is that my own sister?"

"Of course. "From now on, you will be the most important person in my life, except for Miss." ”

"Sister. Li Yan threw herself into Enoch's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. Yinuo stroked Li Yan's hair and let her cry happily in her arms.

That night, Yinuo stayed by Li Yan's side to take care of her, and Dogo Pei never returned, and several dead people were carried out of the house in the middle of the night. In six days, too many people had died here, An Ning couldn't count the numbers, and for every person who died, a fire would be lit in the distance and the corpses would be burned, and the swirling fireworks and the scorching smell of the dead made An Ning shudder.
