Chapter 61: The Disaster Zone
"Did your godmother call you, why are you in such a hurry?" Song Xinshu put down the teacup in his hand and said.
The little girl was a little anxious and said, "Madame said that she has something important to discuss with the girl, and see if the girl can go to the house now." ”
Song Xinshu stood up all of a sudden, something happened to the Mansion Taishou?
She followed the little servant to the Taishou Mansion, went straight to Fan's room, and saw that Fan was sitting at the table crying, so she hurriedly walked over and grabbed Fan's shoulder.
"Godmother, I'm here, what's going on?"
Song Xinshu had never seen such a fragile Fan, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Fan wiped his tears with the handkerchief in his hand and said: "Now that Chengnan is sick, your godfather was ordered to go to deal with it, we said that we would write a letter to the family every day, but there has been no news for two days, you tell me about my heart......"
Fan's is really worried, in case there is a three-long and two-short ...... in the disaster area.
Song Xinshu's heart also sank, but he still comforted Fan without changing his face and said: "Godmother, don't be too anxious first, Xu is godfather is too busy with work, and he didn't care about writing family letters for a while." ”
Fan couldn't calm down at all now, and said, "No matter how busy you are, your godfather will never forget to write a letter to his family, otherwise I will go to the south of the city to find him, right?" ”
Only when she saw Zhang Guodong with her own eyes could she be relieved, otherwise she would not be at ease anyway.
Song Xinshu hurriedly said: "Godmother, if you go, I will also go, I am young and strong, and my resistance is good, you don't have to worry." ”
Song Xinshu was also very worried in her heart, where had she seen such a thing as the plague, would the situation at the scene be terrible?
But she Song Xinshu is not a timid person, in order to determine Zhang Guodong's safety, in order to make Fan's peace of mind, she has to make this trip no matter what.
Now that she has decided, she acted as quickly as possible, and after returning to the Subei Tea House, she asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and dry food for her to set off, and Ah Ja packed the clothes for her to wear.
This time, she planned to take Zhou Sheng with her, after all, she would feel more at ease when he was by his side.
The housekeeper was very calm and prepared everything in an orderly manner, but Ah Jay didn't expect his wife to leave, and hurriedly packed his clothes, thinking about whether his wife would be hungry on the road, and packed a lot of pastries in the store.
Song Xinshu couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the package that Aja had prepared for him.
"I'll just go for a few days, you bring me so much food, I don't know, I think I'm going on vacation."
"Ah Jay is worried about Madame, Madame must return safely!" Aja's tears swirled in his eyes, the plague was so ferocious, if it was accidentally infected, it would ......
Song Xinshu raised his hand and touched Ah Ya's head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
Liushu also helped Zhou Sheng prepare a salute and sent him to the gate.
Song Xinshu got into the carriage, looked at the group of reluctant people in front of him, and waved his hand vigorously.
She asked the housekeeper to prepare several bags of rice and load them on the carriage, and there must be a shortage of food and clothing in the disaster area, so there is nothing wrong with preparing them.
When it was dawn, the two finally reached the border south of the city.
From the moment I entered the south of the city, I saw that the surrounding scene was desolate, and there were no peasants plowing the fields.
According to the address given by Fan, Zhou Sheng drove the carriage and finally came to the place where the victims were concentrated.
When their carriage slowly stopped, the eyes of the victims gathered here were all focused.
Song Xinshu jumped out of the carriage, and Zhou Sheng walked over and handed her a masked white cloth and said, "Madam, it's better to be careful." ”
Song Xinshu nodded, covered his face with a white cloth, and was surrounded by sick residents, seemingly isolating these people who had been infected.
Some families are leaning together, and some mothers are holding small babies in their arms.
Song Xinshu looked at the child's pale face, so he leaned over to look more closely, Zhou Sheng grabbed her arm and said, "Madame, be careful." ”
Song Xinshu forgot for a moment that the disease was very infectious, so he straightened up and looked at the scene in front of him with a worried face.
"Xinshu, why are you here?"
Song Xinshu heard the sound of grooming, and looked back, it was Zhang Guodong who she was looking for, she trotted to him, and saw the godfather she hadn't seen for a few days, with a scruffy beard, and the clothes on her body were dirty in several places, and she was a lot older all of a sudden, and her face was tired.
"Godfather, I can be regarded as finding you, my godmother is dying, saying that you didn't send a letter home."
Zhang Guodong said with a sad face: "I was too busy two days ago, I just sent someone to send one back this afternoon, and your godmother will receive it in the evening." ”
Zhang Guodong looked at the two people in front of him, hurriedly took them to his tent, and ordered someone to bring two bowls of thick juice.
"Godfather, what is this?"
"This is a medicine to prevent the epidemic, you will not be so easily infected with the plague if you drink it, drink it quickly!"
Looking at Zhang Guodong's serious expression, Song Xinshu lowered her head and sniffed the medicinal juice in the bowl, a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to her face, and she retched silently.
Her least favorite thing since she was a child was to take medicine, but here she had to drink it to save her life.
Zhou Sheng had already picked up the bowl and drank it a few times, without hesitation at all, Song Xinshu frowned and held his breath, picked up the bowl, closed his eyes tightly as if determined, and drank it in a few sips.
Zhang Guodong watched the two of them finish drinking the medicine, and said, "You have also seen me, go back quickly, it is very dangerous here, remember to report to your godmother when you go back." ”
"Godfather, I'm here to help you, how can I go back so quickly?" Song Xinshu said firmly. "And I also brought you something good!"
Song Xinshu asked Zhang Guodong's subordinates to unload all the rice in the carriage and put it neatly in the tent.
Song Xinshu opened the pastries he brought and put them on the table, and said, "Godfather, you must not eat well here, I will bring some pastries for you to taste." ”
"It's still your sweetheart." Zhang Guodong pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and sent it to his mouth, the familiar sweetness slowly melted in his mouth, and he nodded contentedly.
In the past few days since he came to the south of the city, he has not eaten well, and he has been dealing with dry food, and the disaster here is so serious, he feels a little exhausted.
"Godfather, what's the condition now, it looks like it's serious."
"It's really serious, and besides, after the imperial doctor sent by the palace developed a few pairs of medicines, it had some effects, and now the condition is not under control."
Song Xinshu also fell into deep thought, she raised her head and said to Zhang Guodong: "Godfather, since I have come, I can't go back so easily, I will help you here for a few days, so that my godmother can rest assured." ”
Zhang Guodong saw her insistence like this, so he didn't say anything more, he knew the character of his goddaughter, and he must do what he decides.
Zhang Guodong arranged a tent for Song Xinshu, and she slept alone in the tent at night, and the wind at the foot of the mountain was stronger than that in Jinling City, blowing on the tent "whining".
Thinking that there was still a lot to do tomorrow, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Before dawn, Song Xinshu was woken up by a voice outside, and the woman's cry penetrated into her ears one after another.
She put on her clothes and walked out of the tent, the mother she saw yesterday was suffering her sick and dead child, Song Xinshu saw this scene, she felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to go over and take a look.
Zhou Sheng didn't know where he came out, and suddenly stopped in front of Song Xinshu and said, "Madam, the corpse infected with the plague is more dangerous, and it's better not to pass." ”
Song Xinshu's heart was heavy, but there was no choice but to watch the woman's tears flow all over her face, and in the end, the child in her arms was still taken away.
Dead patients must be treated intensively, otherwise the damage will spread even more severely.
Song Xinshu couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only step aside to see if there was anything he needed help with.
She is busy here, helping to decoct and cook medicine for a while, and helping to deliver medicine to patients for a while, and she is very busy.
When the sun went down, she didn't have time to sit down and finish her water, and she rested while looking at the scenery in the distance.
At this moment she saw a group of people on horseback walking in the distance, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, and she kept an eye on the group until they approached.
Zhang Guodong also spotted the soldiers who were slowly approaching, and stood with Song Xinshu and watched.
When they walked in, they found that it was a group of soldiers, Zhang Guodong greeted them, and talked to the generals led by them.
Song Xinshu stepped aside, afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to speak to them.
The number of sick residents was still increasing, and she helped to decoct the medicine, caring about her image at all, rolling up her sleeves high, and sitting in front of the fire and fanning the wind.
Zhou Sheng came over with a bowl of water and said, "Madam, you also have to pay attention to your body, don't get tired." ”
Song Xinshu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about the business in the store." ”
"There must be no problem with the housekeeper watching."
Although Song Xinshu is very relieved to be a housekeeper, she is still worried.
Just when she was thinking about her own affairs, she suddenly saw the general who was talking to Zhang Guodong just now walk into the rest area of the victims and inspect the situation of the victims.
Song Xinshu looked at the person a little familiar, and looked at it for a while, only to realize that this person was a person she was extremely familiar with.
That person turned out to be Su Qing!
Song Xinshu felt that her hands were shaking, her heart suddenly began to beat violently, she stood up suddenly, and wanted to immediately jump into his arms and recognize him, but she felt as if her legs would not move.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Song Xinshu moved a small step forward.
And at this time, Su Qing, who was dressed in military uniform, also slowly turned his head, looked in her direction, and looked at each other.
