According to Yang Wanli and Dian Wei's report, the young woman was bumped into by them when they were monitoring Hao Meng's department last night.

But the two of them were looking at the branches of the tree, when they suddenly heard a slight noise below, and hurriedly looked down, and then found her.

With Dian Wei's skills, he is ready to capture.

After that, he tied him under a tree and gagged him, and waited until dawn to come back to confess to Wu Liang and carry it back together.

After seeing Wu Liang and dozens of soldiers from the nearby Hsmiling Army, the young woman looked frightened, and in a panic, she kept rubbing her legs tied together and retreated.

I have to say that although this girl has a lot of gray on her face at this moment, she can also see that she looks good, no worse than Rou'er who Wu Liang is waiting for, and even has a slight advantage: her brain may not be very good.

I can't imagine that in this place where birds don't, you can meet such a beauty......

"Don't be afraid, girl."

Wu Liang grinned, stepped forward to remove the rags that were stuck in the woman's mouth, and said, "We are not good people...... Bah! We're not bad people. ”

"Hahahaha."

Hearing this, Cao Yu and the soldiers couldn't help laughing.

The woman couldn't laugh anyway, and the nervousness on her face was even better, and she even shrank back silently, if there was a crack in the ground here, she would probably have shrunk in.

This woman should be slightly more mature than the group of "beauties" in Wu Liang's house, although her hair is a little messy, but it has been coiled up and fixed with a wooden hairpin, revealing a slender and white neck.

But that doesn't mean she's married.

According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, this can only mean that she has reached the age of fifteen, has passed the "Lu Rite (Rite of Passage)", and is at an age where she can get married.

At the same time, it also shows that her family background should be okay, at least for now.

Like the group of "beauties" in Wu Liang's family, although some of them are over the age of fifteen, they have not tied up their hair, because they have become orphans or have long been sold, and there are no elders to perform "curtains" for them, so there is no "flute" to "reach".

Emmm…… After I go back, I will find an opportunity to make up for the "gift" to the beauty who has reached the age, after all, someone has already called us "Dad", and we must always fulfill the responsibility of being a "Dad", right?

Thinking like this, Wu Liang smiled and asked again: "It's rude, take the liberty to ask the girl's name, how old is it, where does the family live, and what does the family do for a living?" ”

？

Everyone looked at Wu Liang in confusion, this doesn't seem to be interrogating, right?

LSP up!

The woman also glanced at him timidly, pouting her pink lips and still not speaking.

"Girl, if you don't say anything, I can't let you go, are you sure you don't say anything?"

Wu Liang said with a smile.

As soon as she heard this, the woman finally raised her head, and said with a pretty face, "Hui, Huigongzi's words...... I, my name is Bai Jingjing, nine out of ten, a native of Shichao Village under the mountain, and my father is a gold sore doctor in the village......"

Bai Jingjing?

Isn't that the name of a well-known goblin?

Wu Liang secretly wondered in his heart, but his expression gradually became serious, and he continued to ask: "Since the girl lives nearby, then the rumors of the 'Valley of No Return' should have been heard, why did she dare to enter the mountain alone late at night?" ”

"I, I just went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, but I accidentally lost my direction, and I touched the mountain for a long time, and the sky gradually got dark, and I arrived here in a daze."

Bai Jingjing was startled, a layer of mist instantly appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly replied in a trembling voice.

"Mushroom picking? What about mushrooms? Wu Liang asked again.

"The road in the mountains is dangerous, and I accidentally fell into the mountains along with the bamboo basket." Bai Jingjing replied.

"Does anyone in the family know that you went into the mountains to pick mushrooms?" Wu Liang asked again.

"I don't know, my father is strict on weekdays, and I am not allowed to enter the mountain, so I sneaked out during my father's lunch break, and I wanted to go back before my father woke up, but I don't know ......"

As she spoke, Bai Jingjing had sobbed softly, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks, washing away the stains on them to reveal several lines of fair and smooth skin.

"In that case, you can rest with us for a few days, and when you have time, I will have someone send you down the mountain."

Wu Liang finally stopped asking, nodded and smiled.

"How many days? Daddy can't find me for a few days, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a hurry, if the son can't be separated, if I know the way today, it's easy to find, and I can go back by myself. ”

Bai Jingjing stomped her feet anxiously, and saw that she was about to cry again.

"In this wilderness, there are inevitably wild beasts, how can I rest assured that you can go back alone?"

Wu Liang shook his head with a smile, and said undoubtedly, "It's decided, you stay with us for a few days first, and then we will send you back naturally when we finish our business." ”

As he spoke, he ignored Bai Jingjing's pleading, called Cao Yu and Yang Wanli to the distance, and asked in a low voice, "Yang Wanli, is there a stone trough village near here?" ”

"Yes, I've been here before."

Yang Wanli nodded.

Wu Liang groaned, and said: "Brother Anmin, although there are no loopholes between this girl's words, she is still very suspicious when she appears here late at night, it is necessary to check carefully, you immediately send someone to Shichao Village at the bottom of the mountain to inquire if there is such a person." ”

"Well said."

Cao Yu responded.

In fact, no matter whether there is a problem with this girl or not, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Liang to let her go now, otherwise, if her whereabouts are exposed, especially if the defenders of Yuancheng know about it, they may fall into a state of no return.

And so after three hours.

The soldier who went out to investigate came back and reported:

There is really a family surnamed Bai doctor in this stone trough village, and there is indeed an unmarried daughter named Bai Jingjing in the family, and now the news that Bai Jingjing has not returned overnight has been known to the whole village, and the Bai family is anxious to look around with the villagers.

"All the details make sense, am I being too sensitive?"

Wu Liang glanced back at Bai Jingjing, who was tired of crying and curled up in the corner and fell asleep, the noon sun shone on her pink and clear earlobes, which made people can't help but want to taste it gently.

Wu Liang shook his head.

I'm not greedy for her body, the main thing is that this is Yuan Shao's territory, and for many reasons, now is not the time to release people, at least until we finish our work.

……

Three days later.

"Sima, as you expected, Hao Meng's department has not only found nothing in recent days, but his condition has not been controlled, the number of illnesses and deaths continues to increase, and even Hao Meng vomited today!"

"Now that they have begun to pull out their camp, it looks like they will leave the Valley of No Return today!"

Of course, how can the plague be so easy to solve?

Although Hao Meng's previous methods have been much wiser than many Han Dynasty people, cross-infection is not something that can be prevented like that.

"Good!"

Wu Liang patted his thigh, got up and came to Cao Yu's side, and said with a smile, "Brother Anmin, Hao Meng wants to withdraw, ask our people to bring the mugwort that has been braided into hemp rope and dried recently, and when Hao Meng's department is far away, we will prepare to enter the valley." ”

"Talented and virtuous brother, I still don't understand, what do you want this mugwort for, to ward off evil spirits and prevent mosquitoes? But now it's late autumn, and mosquitoes are much rarer, so if you want to ward off evil spirits, you can't use so much, right? ”

Cao Yu was puzzled.

"No, it's anti-plague."

Wu Liang blinked and smiled, "Although Hao Meng has ordered someone to burn the body of the deceased, there is still plague left near Baoqi, just teach our people to burn mugwort every day, not only can it dispel dampness and drive away cold, but also can play a certain role in preventing plague, just in case." ”

At this time, the vast majority of people still think that mugwort is only used to ward off evil and prevent mosquitoes, although the "evil" in ancient times represents a variety of inexplicable discomfort and evil gas, but still do not realize that it is actually just one or more virus infections, is a disease, and mugwort is not a symbolic sense of evil spirits, burning smoke can indeed play a certain role in preventing plague.

It was not until the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the famous medical scientist Ge Hong officially mentioned in the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription": "The four corners of the bed of the patient with moxibustion are densely used, one for each strong, to prevent miasma." ”

"Brother Xian, you still understand medical science?"

Cao Yu said in surprise.

Meanwhile.

！？

Bai Jingjing, who had been shrinking in the corner, also raised her head suddenly and quietly looked at Wu Liang, a touch of surprise crossed her crystal eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

"Hey, hey, I know a little bit about it."

Wu Liang didn't notice Bai Jingjing's reaction, just scratched the back of his head and smiled modestly.
