Chapter 204: "Governing" Pingcheng

After dense preparations, Chi Wan set off for Pingcheng from the day before yesterday, and now she has just arrived. When she got out of the carriage, she saw that there was no one guarding the gate of Pingcheng, and there was no one else within a radius of 100 miles.

She was suspicious, but she still commanded the attendants and the carriage to go inside.

In the middle of the city, the city was lifeless and lifeless, the doors of the houses were closed, and even if there were people walking on the streets, they were also infected with the epidemic and ready to die.

Those people have large red spots on their skin, and there is no shortage of dense red rashes that itch unbearably. If you keep picking at that patch with your hands, it will break it, and once you break it, it will bleed endlessly, which is very scary.

Chi Wan immediately saw that this was an epidemic, and she had seen it in modern times, and it seemed to be a virus infection, so it would become like this.

In addition to this, she also found that those who suffered from the epidemic were also extremely uncomfortable. I saw a person on the side of the road vomiting because his stomach was turning over the river and the sea, and he was holding on to the wall. But because I don't eat, all I vomit is stomach acid and even blood.

Ji Wan endured the uncomfortable feeling, it was hard to imagine that such a huge epidemic had occurred in Pingcheng, could there be no one to treat them, and let the epidemic spread so wantonly?

Suddenly, a person grabbed Chi Wan's hand and ran away with her. Ji Wan was horrified and tried to break free, but the man told her, "Follow me, I'll take you to a safe place." ”

They ran for a while and came to a courtyard. Ji Wan gasped as she looked at the person who had just pulled her. It was a man, but in his twenties, without any signs of an epidemic, and appeared to be a healthy person.

Looking at the whole courtyard, there are many people gathered in it, and all of them are people who have not yet contracted the epidemic, it seems that this is a gathering place for those who are healthy, and it is only here that it is safe for the time being.

"I see you're from outside the city, what are you doing in the city?" The man asked.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Chi Wan and her attendants, up and down, to make sure they really weren't sick.

Chi Wan replied to the man and said: "I am from the capital, and I heard that there is a cloth called Huanhua silk in Pingcheng, which is famous far and wide, and I have come to negotiate." ”

When it comes to Huanhua silk, many people begin to sigh and even cry in a low voice. Chi Wan asked anxiously, "What the hell is going on here?" Why is there such a severe epidemic? ”

The man sighed and said, "Alas, we don't know this, the epidemic seems to spread overnight, and finally it became what it is now. ”

"Illness is the most tormenting, not only physical but also mental, some people hide at home and curl up in bed and cry uncontrollably, some people have been tortured crazy and run around the street, and even look up to the sky and laugh."

"And the people who are not sick, that is, us, are locked up at home without leaving the house, but they can't avoid being framed, the sick people who are unbalanced in their hearts want us to become like them, we finally found this abandoned yard to hide, it is hard to imagine that there are all kinds of things happening elsewhere burning, killing and looting."

Chi Wan didn't know what to say for a while, her own fabric negotiation could only be put on hold now, she lamented the fate of the people of Pingcheng, as a doctor, looking at the helpless appearance of these people, she suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

"Is there a pharmacy nearby?" Chi Wan's question shocked everyone, and Chi Wan's entourage was also shocked and said, "Miss, do you think about it?" ”

"If you come here, you will be safe, I know some medical science, I know how to heal, I will do my best to treat them."

Everyone looked at Chi Wan as if they were looking at the savior, and the man was also very excited: "What you said is serious?" You are still the first doctor who is willing to come to Pingcheng to treat our Pingcheng people. ”

Chi Wan said: "I have my own way, or do I have to confirm what kind of epidemic this is, what you just said about the outbreak of this epidemic overnight?" ”

"Yes, it came quietly, and none of us noticed it. We used to live in a village not far away, but now that the village is occupied by sick people, we have to flee here. ”

Chi Wan thought, if it is said that it is extremely contagious, then how can these people in front of her escape, but they are very healthy and do not have any disease characteristics, what is the difference between them and those people outside?

Everything still needs to be investigated, and there is no hurry, Chi Wan plans to go outside to check the patient's condition after being fully armed, and then make a decision.

At this time, near the city gate, someone saw a huge procession in the distance, and the flag holding it indicated that they were people sent by the royal family.

"Someone's coming, look someone's coming! It's the one who saved us! Hearing such a call, hope was rekindled in the hearts of many Pingcheng people. They all crowded around the gates of the city, crowding to be the first to be cured.

As they got closer, they could see more clearly, they were wearing a special kind of clothing, which looked the same as the usual clothes of the doctors, but they wrapped themselves tightly, and their faces were also covered with special masks.

The people of Pingcheng didn't know that it was a special isolation suit, and they were still vying to point at them and say, "Look, those are the doctors sent by the royal family to save us, there are thousands, we have hope!" ”

A man rushed out of the crowd and rushed forward on his own, he could no longer control his desire for life, he rushed to the front of the large group and knelt down at once, shouting: "Help me, help me!" ”

Seeing this, many of the others rushed forward, but suddenly saw the man at the head of the group take out a long sword from his waist and plunge it straight into the heart of the person kneeling in front of him.

In an instant, the man fell in a pool of blood, scarlet blood splattered out, reflected in the cold eyes of the leader of the leader.

Frightened shouts, people no longer stepped forward, but began to run towards the city. The leader gestured, and the guards behind them all stepped forward, drove those who were sick into the city, and then closed the gates of Pingcheng, completely turning Pingcheng into a dead city.

After dealing with all this, the chief arranged for some men to be stationed outside the city, and he himself went into the city with another group of men, and if he found a man who was sick, he was imprisoned and prepared to be burned at the stake.

For a moment, there were many complaints, the cries of children, the moans of old men, and the cries of women, but they could not shake the guards. They are not doctors sent by the royal family to save lives, but life-saving ghosts!

In a clearing in the center of the city, a high torture platform had been erected, and a cart of patients had been pushed up, and at the signal of the chief, the guards placed wood around the prisoner cart, and then a fire set them on fire, and the people in the prisoner cart were also buried in the flames.

The fire was terrifying, and the cries of the people were as terrifying as the screams of terrible ghosts. However, the guards didn't care, and the burned people were only a small fraction of them, and there were still too many to deal with.

"Let's go, keep catching." Under the command of the chief, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and if it persists like this, one day the epidemic will be completely destroyed, and the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be completed.

In the courtyard in the corner of Pingcheng, Chi Wan had a bowl of soup and a box of external plasters beside her, and under the expectations of everyone, she applied ointment to a sick child in front of her and asked him to drink the decoction she had concocted.

"It only takes one day to see results." Ji Wan said to everyone.

The child's mother picked up the child and asked with concern, "Good girl, are you still uncomfortable?" ”

"Mom, the skin is no longer itchy, this sister's medicine is amazing."

Everyone suddenly had hope again, they kindly called Chi Wan a miracle doctor, and said loudly: "The miracle doctor is alive, our Pingcheng can be regarded as saved!" ”

Chi Wan motioned to everyone to be quiet and said, "This medicine can only alleviate at present, but it cannot achieve a radical cure. ”

The woman said, "All right, miracle doctor, we believe you will be able to do it." ”

"Divine doctor, you are merciful, the Buddha and the gods will definitely help you to help Pingcheng tide over the difficulties!"

The courtyard was full of joy, and suddenly the man who had gone out to forage for food came back in a hurry, and his face was full of horror, and he couldn't even speak clearly. He stumbled and stumbled in front of the crowd, gasping for breath and saying, "Yes! There is fire! ”

"Fire? Where is it burning? The crowd asked.

The man shook his head violently and said, "No! Fire, burn people! ”

"What are you talking about, let's sit down and catch your breath." The woman poured him a glass of water, but he waved his hand and said intermittently, "There are people from the capital, and they ...... They took them all and burned them all! ”

"What did you say!" There were disbelieving looks on everyone's faces, and a few people who were not afraid of death also ran out, and finally came back with the same shocked faces, and said, "Really...... All burned to death! ”

Everyone immediately panicked, they were in a commotion like headless flies, and some people asked Chi Wan for help and said, "Divine doctor, what can I do now!" ”

Chi Wan analyzed: "Could it be that the emperor wants to burn everyone in this city to death to ensure that the epidemic will not spread?" ”

"Oh, what a good thing to do now!"

A person looked at Chi Wan and suddenly thought of an outburst: "Divine doctor, haven't you found a way to cure us, and you are also from the capital, you might as well go and tell those officers and soldiers that you can save us!" ”

Chi Wan shook her head and said, "Just because I'm from the capital doesn't mean I'm familiar with them, do you think they'll believe me?" Not only will this be useless, but it will also expose your current hiding place, and even if you are not sick, they will treat you as if you were sick, and then none of us will be able to escape. ”

"What can I do now, what should I do!"

Everyone was flustered, but Chi Wan was unusually calm, and said, "Let's hide here first, don't expose ourselves, and the rest can only take one step at a time." ”
