The smallpox plague has spread outside the city and intensified, and the people of Jiangnan began to flee in panic.

In the end, this incident alarmed the newly appointed assassin Wang Yuechao, mobilized 1,000 regiments to train soldiers, blockaded Lengyan Town, Dantu Town and more than ten surrounding villages, and strictly forbade the exiles to flee, otherwise they would be treated as mobs, killed, and the corpses would be burned on the spot.

I have to say that Wang Yuechao has been on an errand in the poor mountains and bad waters in Lingnan, and met with the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty, with the spirit of a horse, and forcibly blocked many villages and towns outside the city with iron-blooded means to suppress the riot.

But even more terrible than the smallpox plague were rumors and panic, which were more devastating than the disease itself.

Runzhou City has been closed, and the fortress to Jinling City is also strictly guarded by the garrison, preventing the flow of merchants and people, unless there is a road guide opened by the Assassin Mansion and the prefect's yamen.

The people of Runzhou City were in a panic, because in the next few days, smallpox patients also appeared in Runzhou City, dying in the streets or in the alleys, and the plague enveloped the city.

All entertainment activities in the city were canceled, the Qinglou was deserted, and the Peony Pavilion of Xiangyun Pavilion was still two finales away, and it was also stopped.

Liu Monong came to Su Mansion with the maid Xiaohe, and she is not hiding her good impression of Su Chen at present, anyway, Su Chen's identity is exposed, and the world knows that she has an ambiguous relationship with Su Yixuan, and now that she is in and out of the Su family, she can be regarded as confirming the rumors.

Some talented people who wanted to pursue Liu Monong suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and even gave up in disgrace, because they couldn't be compared with "Jiang Zuo Sulang" because of their talent.

However, there are also talented people who concentrate on preparing for the exam, hold back their energy, and plan to show their skills in the autumn and suppress Su Chen's limelight.

"Brother Su, Runzhou is locked down and can't leave for the time being, what do you think for the time being?" Liu Monong was a little worried that the plague would spread and he might be infected at any time, so he came to Su Mansion with other thoughts.

Because of the plague epidemic, no one is sure that they will survive, and if tens of thousands of people die in this disease, Liu Monong does not feel that he will be lucky to escape.

Rather than parting with life and death and dying alone, it is better to come to Sufu more often these days, be able to get along with the man you like, and survive such dangerous days, which can be regarded as sharing hardships together.

Liu Monong even had the intention of committing himself.

Even if you have it overnight, it's better than not having it.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "It's okay, do a good job of protection when you go out, such as wearing a mask and protective equipment, and when you get home, wash your hands with soap, and don't go to crowded places to gather, this chance of infection will be reduced a lot." ”

"This is a mask?" Liu Monong asked when he saw some palm-sized pieces of cloth on his desk.

"That's right, this is my Bai Susu, looking for the Bai family workshop to make a batch of masks, and take them with you when you go out, which has a protective effect, but you women use veils more, which also has a certain protective effect. But these are side details, in the face of smallpox such a stubborn virus, the role it can play is still limited, in the afternoon I plan to go to the assassin Shi to discuss the matter of going out of the city to save people. ”

Liu Monong was surprised: "Brother Su, you have to go out of the city to save people, this is ...... It's too dangerous. ”

Su Chen shook his head and said with a comforting smile: "Don't worry, I have already thought of how to prevent smallpox, but I need to go out of the city to find medicine in person, and I need to send someone to cooperate with me." ”

So, Su Chen said his thoughts selectively and stabilized Liu Monong.

"If Brother Su can treat smallpox, then the people don't know how much they can live, and everyone in the world will be grateful for Brother Su's medical skills.

Liu Monong sighed that when she was a child, she experienced a scene of family destruction and death, which hurt her a lot, and in the face of today's disaster, it evoked her sad memories and was sad for the tragic experience of the people in those villages and towns.

At this time, knowing that Su Chen had a way to treat them, Liu Monong was naturally very happy. Niuniu Chinese Network

Su Chen asked, "In the past few days, have you stopped performing in Xiangyun Pavilion?" ”

Liu Monong nodded and said, "Well, because of the influence of smallpox, the Xiangyun Pavilion has been semi-closed, and the performance of the Peony Pavilion has also stopped." ”

Su Chen said: "Okay, let's move to Sufu to live during this time, don't go back, your Xiangyun Pavilion is crowded, and the smallpox plague is spread there, once a person is infected, there is no special medicine, and severe patients can only go to the time, mild patients can carry it by themselves, and it will be better faster with the decoction." The method I think of dealing with smallpox is also based on prevention, and it can be life-free from smallpox, because the dose is limited, so we give priority to our own use, and then promote it. ”

When Liu Monong heard this, he not only felt the danger of the situation, but also because of Su Chen's care, his heart was warm, and his good impression of him doubled.

In the past, I always felt that Su Chen deliberately avoided her feelings, but when the disaster came, Su Chen wanted her to move into Su's house for protection as soon as possible, and she did not shy away from suspicion, which made her very moved.

"Brother Su, then you must be careful when you go out!"

Su Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my own safety." ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the yard, and a catcher broke into the yard and shouted: "Where is Su Gongzi, something is wrong." ”

Su Chen frowned and walked out of the door, saw that the head catcher was Lu Jin, and asked, "Lu head catcher, what happened?" ”

Lu Jin arched his hand and said: "It's not bad, the prefect has a high fever, it seems that he has smallpox, and he just took the car back to the prefect's yamen, and the prefect is now locked in a side room, not letting people approach, only asking people to prepare dry food and water for him at the door." The prefect also said that if he could not withstand the illness and died in a few days, he would be cremated directly......"

Su Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, even Governor Peng's mansion was infected with smallpox, and things seemed to be a little out of control.

He had been waiting for the Peng prefect to come back, wanting to promote his own treatment of smallpox, which required the help of the yamen, who knew that after waiting for a few days, he had prepared all kinds of medical tools at home, and sent his family to buy a few cows outside the city to reserve, but he waited back to the Peng prefect's mansion who was infected with smallpox, which was difficult to do.

Su Chen said: "What he did was right! Did you come to me to persuade the prefect? ”

Lu Jin shook his head and said, "No, we in the yamen all know that Su Gongzi has excellent medical skills, and he can save people by opening his stomach last time." This time, there may be a way to treat smallpox, so we came over and asked Su Gongzi to come over and see the prefect. ”

"......" Su Chen was a little speechless, he knew that cowpox could prevent smallpox, but it was not easy to treat people who already had smallpox.

At this moment, the door of the main hall opened, and Peng Jingqing had already heard Lu Zhutou's conversation, and rushed out and said, "My father has smallpox?" It's not serious, no, I'm going back to see him-"

"Stop, you can't go!" Su Chen suddenly shouted and stretched out his hand to stop her.

It is a matter of his father's life and death, Peng Jingqing usually has sex with her father, but blood is thicker than water, and the father-daughter relationship is deep, and at this time she is still very worried about her father's safety, so she does not listen to persuasion at all.

"Su Chen, get out of the way!" Peng Jingqing glared at Su Chen, came up stubbornly, and returned to his wild nature.

Su Chen grabbed her arm and said calmly: "It's better for me to go, you stay at home and don't take risks." If your father really has smallpox, anyone who comes near it will be dangerous, your injuries have not healed, your body is not strong enough to resist, and you can easily be infected in the past. Besides, you don't know how to heal, so it's useless to go, so I'd better take a look. ”

Lu Jin also said: "Miss, let's let Su Gongzi pass." ”

Peng Jingqing looked at Su Chen's serious face, and took the initiative to save people, his heart suddenly softened, he stretched out his arms and threw himself into Su Chen's arms, tears flowed, and cried: "Su Chen, you must save my father!" ”

Su Chen said in a firm tone: "I know, I won't let your father have an accident!" ”

"You can't have an accident either!" After Peng Jingqing finished speaking, he leaned over his lips and kissed him on the cheek, then turned around and ran back to the room with some embarrassment.
