Chapter 121: The Plague
Lu Li saw that Du Heng was faintly on guard, and hurriedly explained: "Du Jun is not in a hurry, he is no longer the same as he was under the Ge family before. Thanks to the help of my brother and uncles, I have already changed my ways! ”
Du Heng vigilantly looked at Lu Liwu, and found that he really couldn't sense any evil qi from Lu Liwei's body, so he took his hand off the hilt of the sword and said, "What's going on here?" How did everyone become like this? And you, why are you sick too? ”
Lu Li sighed and said, "Alas, this matter is a long story. The source of the epidemic is unknown, but it broke out suddenly last year. The affected person first has a black face and a sunken hall, and then develops to weakness and brittle bones, and then dies unexpectedly. Many people are walking on the road, and then they suddenly collapse, and they can't be saved anyway. Moreover, the disease is extremely contagious, and it can be superimposed, and those with mild symptoms will continue to be infected by those with severe symptoms, accelerating death. ”
Du Heng said: "Is this disease really so bad? Even your Lu family can't be cured? ”
"Not only can't it be cured, but even ourselves," Lu Liwei stretched out his two black arms and smiled bitterly, "It's impossible to escape." ”
"What about Lu Lisheng? Isn't he here? Du Heng looked left and right.
Lu Li smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, it's a rudeness, I almost forgot about this stubble." The elder brother was in Zhenxi to diagnose people, and he took Du Jun over here. ”
Du Heng felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Liwei's polite attitude, but he didn't say anything, just followed Lu Liwei to the west of the town.
When the people of the town saw three healthy men walking in the street, they retreated to the side, as if they were afraid that they would spread the disease. However, they did not want to go far, but looked this way from afar, and their eyes were full of wonder and envy.
A few people were walking and walking, and suddenly they heard a noise not far away.
"Where did you come from Hanako, who dares to snatch my cake?"
"Have pity on my son! He hadn't eaten for days, and if he didn't die of illness, he would starve to death! ”
"He's hungry? I'm still hungry! Now that the epidemic is so severe, who doesn't go hungry? Is your son rare? ”
When a few people approached, they found a woman holding a little boy and arguing with a man with a stubble face. All three of them were dark-faced, but the little boy was skinny and skinny, and he looked particularly pitiful.
The woman took the man's hand and shook it with great effort, begging without stopping. The little boy stood beside him, staring at the cake in the man's hand, his saliva almost dripping to the ground.
The man was impatient, picked up a stick from the side, and raised his hand to hit the woman.
Without waiting for Lu Li's reaction, Du Heng was quick-eyed, handed over Xiao Du Ruo to Sanxiu, instantly moved to the man's side, grabbed the man's wrist holding the stick, twisted it, and pulled his hand on the man's back.
"Ouch! Awkward! Awkward! The man was in pain, and the cake in his hand fell to the ground.
Du Heng said coldly: "You are a big man, you want to be ruthless to women and children, do you still have some shame?" ”
The man screamed, "Shame? Can incorruptibility be eaten? Where did you come from, the broom star, you don't even have a strip of cloth wrapped around your face, and you don't think you can live long? ”
Lu Liwu ran over to relieve the siege and said: "Du Jun is angry! This year's harvest is not good, every family is starving, the so-called people are poor and short-sighted, don't be too difficult for them! ”
Du Heng snorted coldly and let go of the man's hand.
The man rubbed his reddened wrist and said, "Doctor Lu, you give a comment, whose life is not life?" Is her son's life worth it? I finally exchanged this cake with a little treasure at home, and my wife and children are still waiting for me at home! ”
Sanxiu sighed and said, "It's all poor people......"
When the woman saw a few living people, her eyes lit up and she wanted to come forward, but she hesitated for a moment and then retreated, and said in a loud voice: "This handsome man! At first glance, you are not an ordinary person, you have pity on my son, give him something to eat! ”
Du Heng touched the deflated gluttonous bag on his waist. Since he went through the five levels set by Shui Yangbo and ate the apples inside, he has never restocked.
"I ......"
Before Du Heng could continue, the little boy next to him suddenly wiped his tears, pointed to the side and cried: "She...... She ate the cake! ”
Everyone looked at the little boy's hand and found that Xiao Duruo was sitting on the ground at some point, holding the cake just now and munching on it.
The man scolded: "You are a liar, pretending to be benevolent and righteous, but secretly letting your own children steal other people's food!" ”
Du Heng knew that he was wrong, his face was green, and he was speechless.
Sanxiu looked up and saw a dry peach tree branch sticking out of the wall, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't worry, we can't compensate you for the cake, but we can exchange other things with you." ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "What do you get in exchange?" ”
Sanxiu shook the cinnamon twice, and many tiny cinnamon shone with golden light floating onto the branches. Then, the dry leaves on the peach branches instantly turned green, and dozens of bowl-sized peaches emerged from between the branches. The pink peach bent the branches heavily, which was very cute.
The man was dumbfounded.
"Immortals!"
The surrounding people quickly gathered around and kowtowed to Sanxiu, and several children cheered and climbed the peach tree to pick peaches.
Lu Li said worriedly: "This girl, but will she bring the dead back to life?" ”
Sanxiu nodded and said, "Doctor Lu doesn't have to worry about the harvest." ”
Lu Li said with great joy: "Can that girl help save the people in the town?" ”
As soon as the words ended, another cry of pleading rang out from the kneeling crowd.
Sanxiu looked at the people who knocked their heads on the ground with a guilty face, shook his head and said, "I did think about this problem just now, but things may not be that simple. ”
The hopeful eyes of the people dimmed again.
Du Heng was a little unbearable and said, "Let's take us to see another Lu Shen Doctor first, and see what he says." ”
Lu Li said worriedly: "What Du Jun said is true! Next, I will take you two to my brother and ask him to talk to you in detail. ”
Sanxiu was just about to take Xiao Du Ruo's hand, but suddenly found that Xiao Du Ruo had disappeared at some point.
"Where's the sweet peach? What about sweet peaches? Sanxiu was shocked, looking around but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Du Ruo.
Du Heng was also shocked into a cold sweat, jumped out of the crowd surrounded by groups, and ran around the town.
Lu Lisheng was checking the pulse of a mother-in-law under a simple shed in the west of the town. He also had a face towel around his face, and his hands and forehead were slightly blue, although he was a little better than Lu Liwu, he was still sick.
"Doctor Lu, how long can I live?" The mother-in-law asked nervously.
Lu Lisheng was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "The old man relaxes first, I will ask someone to grab the medicine for you later, you take the medicine on time, it will always be fine." ”
The old woman sighed and said, "Alas...... The miracle doctor didn't want to say it, but the old woman also knew, thanks to the miracle doctor, who could let the old woman live for two more days. ”
Lu Lisheng looked at the old woman's stumbling back with a gloomy expression. He was about to reach for the teapot in his hand, but he felt empty.
Xiao Du Ruo appeared on the table at some point, holding a teapot as big as her head, and gulping tea.
Lu Lisheng was stunned for a long time, obviously not thinking about why a beautiful little girl appeared here, and she held her teapot and drank it for a long time.
Xiao Du Ruo put down the teapot and wiped his mouth, and burped loudly.
"Little sister, whose family are you? How did you get here? Lu Lisheng took the teapot and found that it was actually drunk by Xiao Du Ruo.
Xiao Du Ruo ignored Lu Lisheng's question, but picked up the brush on the side of the inkstone. She stared curiously at the ink on the tip of the pen, and then opened her mouth to put it in her mouth.
Lu Lisheng was so frightened that he hurriedly snatched the brush from Xiao Du Ruo's hand and said, "This is not something to eat!" Didn't your mom and dad teach you? ”
"I don't have a dad! I only have my brother! Little Du Ruo exclaimed in a milky voice, and then lowered his head to search for other new things.
Lu Lisheng sighed and muttered to himself, "Oh, it turned out to be an orphan......"
Xiao Du Ruo was also curious when he saw the inkstone, so he put his hand in. Lu Lisheng hurriedly picked up Xiao Du Ruo and stayed away from everything on the table.
"Where the hell are you from?" Lu Lisheng hugged Xiao Du Ruo and walked to the other end of the shed, "You look so cute, the person who brought you here doesn't care, why don't you even put a face towel on?" ”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came.
"Brother Amu! I've found Sweet Peach! ”
Sanxiu hurriedly ran to Lu Lisheng's side, and Lu Lisheng saw Sanxiu's face, and took two steps back with some vigilance.
At this time, Du Heng also ran over from the corner, followed by a large group of people full of expectations.
"Du Gongzi, why are you here?" Lu Lisheng said in surprise.
Du Heng was a little anxious when he saw someone holding Xiao Du Ruo, but when he heard the voice, he found that it was Lu Lisheng, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was found by you, this girl is too good to run, and she can't catch it."
Lu Lisheng looked at Du Heng, then at Sanxiu, and then at Xiao Du Ruo, and then smiled at Du Heng: "Congratulations to Du Gongzi for coming out of the shadows, finally getting a good match, and giving birth to such a lovely daughter." It's just that your daughter is a little naughty, and she just told me that she doesn't have a father. ”
When Sanxiu heard this, his face suddenly turned red to the root of his ears.
Du Heng smiled: "If this is my daughter, I will tie a rope to her and tell her to run around again." ”
"Then this is ......" Lu Lisheng looked carefully at Xiao Du Ruo's pink face.
Sanxiu said: "This is the reincarnation of Miss Du Ruo. ”
Lu Lisheng was so frightened that he almost threw Xiao Du Ruo out.
Xiao Du Ruo giggled, and wiped the ink on his hand on Lu Lisheng's face.
"Hahaha! Big Flower Cat! ”
Lu Lisheng gave little Du Ruosai to Du Heng, helplessly wiped the ink on his eyes, and said, "Miss Du really doesn't care how old she is." However, the reincarnation of the immortal clan will take a hundred years or even a thousand years, why did Miss Du reincarnate so quickly? ”
Lu Li said happily: "Brother, this show girl is through the art of resurrecting the dead!" ”
Lu Lisheng's eyes lit up, and he said to Sanxiu: "No wonder I felt that this girl had an extraordinary bearing just now, and there was anger between her eyebrows, it turned out that she had this stunt." The scarf was useless to the girl. ”
Lu Li worried: "Then can we ask the girl to help heal the disease?" ”
Lu Lisheng was noncommittal, but just set his eyes on Sanxiu with an inquiring gaze. Sanxiu raised Gui Yi on Lu Lisheng's head a little, and then looked at Lu Lisheng again without speaking.
Du Heng looked anxious on the side and said, "You two, what do you look at me and what I see you?" Anyway! ”
Lu Lisheng and Sanxiu looked at Du Heng, and then said in unison: "No." ”
Lu Li worried: "Why? ”
When the surrounding people saw that the two of them were full of clouds, they immediately sighed and occasionally sobbed.
Sanxiu said: "This disease is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and even if the method of rejuvenation is applied, it can only delay time temporarily. If you want to cure it radically, you still need to find the lesion and remove it. ”
"The lesion is still unknown, otherwise it would not have been incurable for many years." Lu Li was depressed.
Lu Lisheng looked at Lu Lisheng, hesitated for a moment and said: "Liwu, in fact, I have found the lesion, but I haven't told you about it, because the medicine for this disease is extremely difficult to find, even if you know how to treat it, you don't know where to get the elixir." However, fortunately, Du Gongzi came, and he could be regarded as having a little hope. ”
Du Heng was a little surprised: "What kind of medicine?" Does it have anything to do with me? ”
Lu Lisheng nodded and said: "The name of this medicine is Weixiang, it is only born in sweet jujube, and there is only one plant left in the world. ”
