Chapter 017: The Plague
In the courtyard of Qi Lianmo's Mansion of King Qi, the door was closed, and there were bursts of struggles and whimpering, as well as the sound of chains shaking. There were three people standing in the courtyard, the old housekeeper of King Qi's Mansion, Shadow Black Wood and Yun Duqing of Yun Mansion.
The three of them all looked at the closed door in front of them with solemn faces, and Yun Duqing couldn't help but say, "Still haven't found any other way to alleviate it?" ”
"No, it seems that there is only that place" Kuroki looked at the house and replied softly, since the birth of the little master, Kuroki was assigned to the little master as a shadow guard, so many years, he has long been regarded as his own relative, every time he sees the pain of the little master, he can't do anything, he really wants to bear it for the master.
"Do you still have to speed up the search for the Holy Maiden, but we've been looking for it for so many years, this..."Yun Duqing frowned slightly, and her good-looking peach blossom eyes were no longer as indifferent as usual, and some were more dignified than ever.
The three of them stopped talking, only hoping that Qi Lianmo would survive the night, and secretly prayed that the night would leave quickly and the dawn would come soon.
"I was fortunate enough to meet a miracle doctor before, and at that time, the doctor gave the little master a bottle of medicine, which can be survived by swallowing one pill on the fifteenth day of the month, and said that the little master is afraid that he will not live to live to twenty" Kuroki's worried voice broke the dark silence again.
"Then what are you waiting for, get him the medicine" Yun Duqing's eyes widened.
"That bottle is only thirty grains, a month's supply, long since it was used up, all these years the little master has survived like this" Kuroki also wanted to give it, but there was no more.
"What about that miracle doctor, why don't you bring it back, can't the Qi Wangfu afford to raise a miracle doctor?" Yun Duqing was puzzled.
"No, that divine doctor likes to be chic, he doesn't like to be restrained, it's useless to stay, he can only make one bottle a year, Yun Gongzi, you know, my master naturally doesn't like to bind others, so he doesn't force it, but the divine doctor will also send a bottle to the palace every year, this year seems to be less than time, last year's one has been used up" Kuroki sighed.
Yun Duqing didn't know what she could help, and she didn't know how to heal, although she had money, she couldn't buy medicine with money, so she was really powerless.
"Twenty years old? He..."It's the beginning of life... Yun Duqing couldn't help but look at the closed door again, did the little person inside have to endure such an ordeal when he was only ten years old?
The old housekeeper also burst into tears, and sighed heavily, "Alas"
The three of them fell silent again, and they didn't have any extra thoughts to say anything, they just hoped that it would be dawn soon.
Finally at dawn, there was no movement in the house, the three of them hurriedly opened the locked door, as soon as they entered, there was a stuffy smell of blood, the little man on the bed was lying on the bed like a corpse, soaked in sweat and sticking to his body, the wrists and ankles of the tied chains were grinding blood because of the struggle, and a white underwear was also stained with blood, as if he had just come from hell.
"Ahem... Is it dawn? Qi Lianmo asked weakly.
"Mmmm, lord, get ready for hot water, why don't you clean it first..."The old housekeeper watched distressedly as Hei Mu and Yun Duqing untied the chains that Qi Lianmo had tied.
"Hmm" Qi Lianmo lay on the bed slowly, closed his eyes tiredly, and wanted to sleep... But there was still important things to do at noon, Qi Lianmo only rested for a while, then opened his eyes, ready to clean up and tidy up.
"Lian Mo, you..." Yun Duqing really felt sorry for this very young and old little man on the bed in front of him.
"Well, it's okay, let's talk about something" Qi Lianmo blinked his tired eyes vigorously.
Luofu, who had been busy all night, just stopped for a moment in the morning, but humbly found that Luofu's eldest lady Luo Ziqi fainted during breakfast, which was really painful.
Let's just say that why do I feel so heavy and dizzy, it turns out that I am infected with wind cold, Luo Ziqi thought, but this infection with wind cold is also strange, my body is not weak, how can I easily be infected with wind cold?
I simply finished taking the medicine, felt a little better, and fell asleep deeply.
But after two hours, I was awakened again, not because of the noise outside, but... Luo Ziqi felt that he had forgotten something, and Luo Ziqi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"If it rains, if it rains," he anxiously shouted at the door.
"Miss, what's wrong" Ruoyu thought something had happened to Luo Ziqi and trotted in.
"Let's see if the second and third ladies are infected with any wind chill," Luo Ziqi instructed Ruoyu to ask immediately.
She remembered that it was the plague, a new type of highly contagious plague that could be transmitted through saliva, contact and poultry, and the first symptoms were fever, cough, and general weakness, much like ordinary wind chills.
Coincidentally, in the last life, the south of the city broke out first, and then the entire capital was infected, and the capital almost lost more than half of its population because of this.
Because it was a symptom of being infected with wind and cold at the beginning, everyone didn't particularly care, and it was only when half of the people in the city were infected that everyone found that something seemed to be wrong, and then a doctor proposed that it might be a plague, and for a while the people in the capital were panicked and wandered around, but the plague that spread in the capital infected the entire monarchy, causing an unprecedented disaster.
Now it is just beginning to sprout, and in the previous life, because it was a new plague, the doctors had never seen it, and it took a lot of time to make an antidote, and many lives were lost because of it.
Now this wind chill is a reminder to Luo Ziqi, although Luo Ziqi is not a righteous person, but he can't bear to think of so many lives.
History records that the 33rd year of the Great Monarchy was plagued, the whole country fought against it, there was no plan to invest in manpower and materials, inherent serious diseases and chronic diseases, all gave way to plague treatment, taking care of one and losing the other, now the whole country is closed, the traffic is suspended, the treatment is abruptly stopped, the patients are not treated, the secondary disasters are becoming more and more obvious, there are people who smuggle to other places, only to get rid of them as soon as possible, crying and pleading, those who hear are compassionate, but there is no long-term plan, and they are sad!
Confirm whether to do countermeasures first, Luo Ziqi thought about it, and wrote down the prescription of the previous life in case of emergency.
Fortunately, Luo Ziyou and Luo Zifei have not been infected with the wind and cold for the time being, but they can't be careless, and they have to go to the south of the city in advance.
After taking the medicine, Luo Ziqi slept for a while, and after dinner, he returned to Qiyun Garden, where Luo Ziqi sorted out the situation of the plague from what caused it, how it was infected, how it was prevented and monitored, and how to treat and isolate the infected people.
But you can't take it out now, because it hasn't exploded yet, and even if you say it, no one will believe it, and that's how people's hearts are.
After thinking about it, let's go to the south of the city first, I just found Jiang Yichen, and I am not suitable for exposing anything, and I can't be trusted, but Jiang Yichen is different when he comes to do it, he can guide how to solve this plague, Luo Ziqi seems to have thought of a solution.
Early in the morning of the second day, Luo Ziqi was ready to go to the south of the city, but told Luo Xiangguo that he was going to play, Luo Xiangguo didn't want Luo Xiangguo to go out to run around just before Qi Fenghan, but he couldn't bear Luo Ziqi insisted on going, so he let Ruoyu accompany him, and also sent some guards to protect Luo Ziqi secretly.
Luo Ziqi was originally going to find someone, which would surprise Jiang Yichen, that person was originally cautious, but when he thought about it, he would follow anyway, I have a way to get rid of you.
So he set off to the south of the city, to say that the south of the city, it is really a good place to enjoy the scenery, no wonder the infected people spread so quickly, they all came to see the scenery, and then brought the plague back to spread naturally faster.
Thinking back to the empty south of the city in the previous life, Luo Ziqi sighed, it was really a dark memory.
About half a day, finally arrived in the south of the city, the people I saw along the way were very simple and enthusiastic, and the heavy heart of Luo Ziqi also had a feeling of relaxation, no wonder those dignitaries and scholars like a garden party on the left and a garden party on the right.
Luo Ziqi first asked Ruoyu to find an inn and said that he wanted to rest, and those guards stayed at the door or sat downstairs, as if drinking tea, and secretly looked at Luo Ziqi's private room, but Luo Ziqi still had a way to sneak out of the inn before their eyelids.
After all, it is a child's body, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and it is easy to climb down the tree by turning over the skylight, and taking advantage of the kung fu in the inn, he also changed into a teenager's costume, even if her own father may not be able to recognize it, not to mention these guards who don't know that the young lady they want to guardian has slipped away.
Luo Ziqi swaggered down the street, enjoying a more simple atmosphere, thinking about how to meet Jiang Yichen.
It just so happened that there was another scene of bullying and bullying in front of him, Luo Ziqi thought, how can this be unified everywhere, for example, the drama of bullying and bullying will be staged every day.
Luo Ziqi just wanted to find Jiang Yichen quickly, and he didn't want to be nosy, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the "weak" who was being bullied, so he was familiar with it, and he twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, it seemed that he was also a guest in Ziyitang, and it seemed that he was still worshipping Jiang Yichen as a brother, so if he said this, Jiang Yichen was also nearby, which was really a coincidence.
Luo Ziqi thought that he didn't want to take care of this idle matter, so he quietly squeezed into the place where he was making trouble.
Sure enough, it's the same routine again, either it's insulting or it's about being forcibly taken away as a concubine.
But this "weak" seems to be a man, and this troublemaker is also a man, Luo Ziqi couldn't help muttering in his heart, is the south of the city so open, what kind of broken sleeve is popular now? What a real eye-opener.
But looking at the "weak" on the ground, thirteen or fourteen years old, although his whole body was dirty with dust, he could also see that beauty could not be everything, Luo Ziqi was stunned, and instantly understood, but it was also, who would not be moved by such a celestial posture.
And it's just a homeless outcast, even if it is robbed, as long as there is such a slightly larger force, it will be calmed down casually, and even if there is a grievance, there is no place to appeal.
Luo Ziqi hated this kind of thing the most, but fortunately, she brought some self-prevention itching powder with her, planning to sprinkle it on the person who made trouble later, and ran away with that person.
"Yo, Lin Ningchen, Young Master Ben has already said it, if you follow Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben will definitely let you eat and drink spicy food" The troublesome young man seemed to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old gentleman, and he glanced at the two guards he brought, don't let this little beauty run away.
"I, Su Tianba, you want to force me, let's go to the next life" The beautiful young man named Lin Ningchen spat viciously on the ground.
Luo Ziqi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't imagine that the little beauty was quite temperamental, at least not as gentle and harmless as it appeared on the surface, and it was quite interesting. Looking at this situation, it seems that it has been more than once, and Luo Ziqi is suspicious, why hasn't he succeeded in kidnapping, this person named Su Tianba is too incompetent.
Seeing that Su Tianba's face turned red, and the two guards also quietly wanted to surround Lin Ningchen, Luo Ziqi waved his hand quickly, and the powder blew down the wind towards the three people who were plotting against him, and he ran away with the people on the ground.
Lin Ningchen was stunned for a moment, but Luo Ziqi didn't care, he pulled him up from the ground with a skillful pull, and said viciously, "Run!" Stupid"
