Chapter 26 The Erosive Border Epidemic
An unprecedented black snow fell for three days and three nights.
The name of black snow comes from the white snowflakes dyed with a trace of black lines, so it is called black snow.
With the black snow pouring down, it lasted for three days and three nights, so that the world imprinted the scene of black snow and deeply remembered the name of black snow.
The black snow fell more than three feet thick, covering almost all the mountains, rivers and castle towers.
Extending from Chang'an City to the north, to the Mobei grassland, it is all covered with black snow, and there is not a trace of other things showing the color in the noon sun.
"Rustle, squeak"
An overlapping figure flashed and landed on the tree on the hill on the left side of the border pass, stepping on the tree for a while, throwing off the snow stuck to the leaves of the tree, falling in a sloppy manner, setting off the peculiar appearance of a man and a woman.
A woman, no, should be a woman.
Because the woman has her hair coiled on her head and a peach blossom hairpin, it is particularly dazzling against the background of the black hair and the surrounding snow.
The peach blossom hairpin reflects the rays of the midday sun, projecting a red fluorescence.
It's not dazzling, but it's very eye-catching.
It seems to have a magical power, seductive and fascinating, just want to explore what ability is contained in the peach blossom hairpin, so dazzling?
However, the woman inserts a hairpin, which means that the woman has reached the age of fifteen.
Looking at her leaning on the man's left shoulder, her face was red, her smile was like a flower, as if she was a concubine, obviously the woman was married.
It's just that it looks like her beautiful melon seed face is pink and tender with a layer of fluorescence, no matter how you look at it, she is not very old.
At first glance, the woman is at most sixteen years old.
However, with the man who hugged her slender waist, she showed her Miaoman figure shrouded in a colorful suit embroidered with lotus flowers in Hunan Province, and a delicate and handsome face dressed up in a camouflage suit on the man's body, which can be described as a golden boy and a girl, a pair of beautiful people.
The two of them hugged each other like glue, standing on a tree more than ten meters high, like a fairy couple, not stained with dust.
If this is seen, I don't know how many sentient beings will be envied?
At this time, they looked at the chaos at the border pass and were a little moved.
"Husband, when are we going down to save people?"
The woman leaned on her husband's shoulder, overlooking the crowd crowded down the mountain to the front of the pass, smiled, frowned, and said.
The people below seem to be all inhabitants of the grassland, mostly women and old and weak.
Everyone looked sickly and skinny.
But they rushed to the pass as if they were crazy, and they were not afraid of death, and they were not afraid that the soldiers on the walls of the pass would shoot with bows and crossbows, and climb up with arrows.
And let them step on their feet, and put their hands on the place where the dead and wounded are all over.
It was a human wall slope, and it was shocking.
I really don't know how many people died?
Is this the horror of the pandemic?
It's horrible!
The woman looked discolored, subconsciously hugged her husband's waistline, and leaned her body on her husband tighter, frightened.
The man gently patted his wife's waist with his left hand, comforted her and said, "Don't worry, madam, it's okay."
They are just normal birth, old age, sickness and death.
Even though they were affected by the epidemic, they looked very sick.
Even if you die of illness and are unwilling to die, it is ugly.
They don't seem to deserve to die, very unlucky?
However, natural and man-made disasters themselves are a big fate.
Just like this clear mirror-like sky, who knows if a meteorite will fall from it and kill whom?
Besides, if this person is unlucky, he can choke to death by drinking cold water.
Therefore, Mrs. should put her state of mind right, look down on life and death with a normal heart, without losing her reason, and be more able to analyze the current confusion and do nothing. ”
His words have a bit of a Taoist flavor.
However, he is dressed as an idle cloud and wild crane, as if he is not dusty, but he is not dressed as a Taoist priest.
This made his words profound.
In any case, he is also fifteen or sixteen years old, how can he understand these things at a young age?
It's just that the woman didn't doubt him, but happily accepted her husband's point of view, nodded slightly and said, "The husband is right, it's me who is in love?"
It's just that I understand these truths, but I can't suppress the compassion in my heart.
Watching them struggle on the verge of life and death, I could feel their desperation and their desire to survive, but I couldn't do anything, and my heart was very sad.
I wondered, can't the husband cure them of the plague? ”
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that this plague was rapid and difficult to cure.
Along the way, I encountered many patients who broke into the gate, all of whom were infected with the plague.
Among these people are aliens.
and the people within.
All of them were infected by the plague and were only thinking of breaking into the territory and looking for a doctor to cure them.
Another reason is the crazy catharsis before dying.
Grab money and people, and act recklessly.
Villages and towns that were not guarded by officers and soldiers have been plagued all over again.
Everywhere I passed, there were countless dead bodies.
is in response to that sentence: There are frozen bones on the road, and there is no smell of chickens for hundreds of miles.
Yes, this unprecedented catastrophe has killed many people.
And it is still spreading to the territory of Datang, tea poison, I don't know how many people will die?
And she has seen these tragedies, and together with her husband, she rescued people, but the result was powerless, at most she helped some passes to expel the tide of infected people.
In fact, no one can save it.
I can only watch them die of illness, pain, and madness......
If you see too much, you will numb your mind, but she is not like this, she will only feel more and more sad, she can't save people's sadness, and she feels guilty that she can't do anything!
The man felt the guilt in her heart, and comforted her a little helplessly: "Don't worry, as long as your husband's cultivation is further advanced, it is estimated that you will be able to restrain this plague......"
"Really, then go and cultivate......"
The woman was startled and dispelled the sadness in her heart, raised her head to look at her husband's handsome face and said, she was overjoyed.
The face is red, pink and tender, and the temptation just wants to take a bite.
She didn't know how attractive she was, so she sent it to the door.
The man who watched swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said ill-intentionedly: "Madame wants to continue, for the husband ......"
"Ah, don't, my husband is dead, I'm not coming......"
"Haha, Madame will coax people ......"
"Ah, don't say it, besides, I'm in a hurry with you!"
The woman was ashamed, her face was so ashamed that she was almost dripping blood, she lowered her head and pinched her husband's waist with her hand and threatened, but she was reluctant to pinch it hard.
It's like flirting and scolding and sprinkling dog food.
Fortunately, the man knew that his wife's face was thin-skinned, so he changed the topic: "This should be the territory of Tongxian County, right?"
Don't forget what we're here for.
We are not here to reflect on how many people have been killed by the epidemic and how many more people will be killed by the plague.
We're here to find someone......"
"Ah, yes, let's go down and ask?"
The woman was startled again, and when she came back to her senses, she immediately anxiously pulled her husband's arm and shook it and said, not worried about the shaking body standing on the tree at all.
It's like dancing and strolling on a tree.
But she didn't look down, she just stepped on it so indiscriminately, and a pair of little feet in camouflage boots stepped on the tree every time, which was really accurate and incomprehensible.
The man looked at her with pity and a shy and anxious look, nodded in response, and then both flew away from the tree and flew towards the pass thousands of kilometers below.
At the pass, there was a mess on the city wall.
"Kill, don't leave a single one, can't let them climb up and scourge us all, kill them all for me......"
The border master waved Li Tong forward with his sword, and ordered the soldiers who ran and attacked the city wall to block the people below the city wall.
This battle has been going on for five days and five nights.
When the battle was fought to this point, whether it was a shortage of manpower or the consumption of materials, it almost reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.
This is also the result of his order to save soldiers on frugality, as well as to bring their own strategic materials during shifts and rest.
Otherwise, he would have been defeated and killed long ago.
"Kill, climb up a group of plague pigs in front of the left, shoot arrows ......"
"General, there are too many people below, and we don't have many arrows to stop them, or we don't switch and give way......"
The battlefield was eroded, and the material officer in charge of the supplies trotted over and knelt down on one knee to report the military situation.
Li Tong slashed at his neck with a sword, glared at him angrily and scolded: "Mess with our army's heart, find ...... death"
"General, the imperial envoy is critically ill, and if the general doesn't save the envoy, even if he blocks these plague pigs from breaking into the pass, he won't be able to escape death!"
"Damn, he brought it on himself, who let him go deep into the grassland and contract the plague, he deserves to die......"
