Chapter 390: The Plague
The young man slowly woke up under Yunyan's healing, he grabbed his hands in the air, and said hoarsely: "Water, water, I want to drink water!" Yunyan brought him a bowl of water, and he poured it violently, spilling a lot on his neck. Yunyan patted him and said patiently: "You drink slowly, there is water." ”
After the young man finished drinking, his mind also cleared up, he quickly climbed out of bed and knelt on the ground, and without saying a word, he knocked Yunyan a few times.
Yunyan hurriedly helped him up: "Brother Tai doesn't have to make this big gift, please get up quickly." The young man wiped tears from his face and got up.
Hyun Bin asked, "What's your name and where do you live?" ”
The young man said: "My name is Li Daniu, and I am from the nearby Xiaomin Village. There was a plague in our village, and I wanted to run out to find the doctor, but I didn't want to strayed into this place and be rescued by two masters. After he finished speaking, he was emotional and wanted to kneel again, he felt that he was very good to be alive.
Yunyan hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "Brother Da Niu, you just said that there was a plague in your village, can you tell me about the specific situation?" ”
Da Niu's face was full of fear, and he recalled in great pain: "A month ago, the sows in the village died, and the piglets in the pen also died one after another. Everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first, and it was handled simply according to the usual handling method. Who knows, if those pigs are not dealt with properly, the people will also be infected, and the whole village will get the plague and half of them will die. ”
He wiped his tears, knelt in front of Yunyan and said, "Please ask the girl and the son to save us!" If we continue like this, our whole village will be destroyed! After he finished speaking, he kowtowed vigorously, and the flesh and blood on his forehead soon blurred.
Yunyan moved his lips, and just wanted to say yes, but unexpectedly, Ao Xue looked at the kneeling person on the ground, and replied without the slightest emotion, as if he often dealt with these requests, and coldly refused: "Please forgive us for not being able to help." ”
Li Daniu's face immediately darkened, he seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and said weakly: "Is this our fate......?"
Xuan Bin said: "This little brother, you can rest for a while, and I will send you out of the valley in the evening." Da Niu nodded, and sat down on the bed with a face full of despair.
Yunyan pulled Xuan Bin to the door, his face was full of disapproval: "Senior brother, it's okay for Ao Xue to talk like this, why are you like this!" Xuan Bin said helplessly: "Little junior sister, this is the rule in the Medicine Valley, you must not rescue outsiders at will, let alone go out of the valley at will." ”
Yun Yan said: "Do you want to watch everyone in Xiaomin Village die!" Obviously we know the cure! Her face was furious, and Hyun Bin was a little embarrassed by the barrage of questions.
At this time, Ao Xue walked out and said, "The existence of rules has its own reason, otherwise what do you think is the reason why Medicine Valley can exist independently outside the world for more than a hundred years?" ”
Yunyan was choked by him, and her whole body trembled with anger, and she threw her sleeves away angrily.
Yunyan returned to her abode and lay down on the bed, smothering the quilt on her head, she breathed hard, her chest rising and falling violently. She knew the despair of giving a person hope to push this person into the abyss again, and what was even more terrifying was that Li Daniu surviving alone was more painful for him than death.
She didn't understand, she didn't understand at all, how could her gentle senior brother, who had extremely high attainments in medical skills, disregard human life like this? So what is the purpose of their medical studies?
Her head swelled and hurt because of lack of oxygen, she lifted the quilt, breathed heavily, her rapid heartbeat gradually flattened, her eyes rolled, and she said with a shining: "Rules are dead people, people are alive." Anyway, Master has gone away, and even if the senior brothers know, they will keep it secret for me, just quietly! ”
She grabbed some medicinal herbs with a cloth bag and took advantage of the faint sky to quietly return to Li Daniu's resting place.
Li Daniu was napping, but he was pushed and woke up immediately. By the moonlight outside, he looked at a man dressed in men's clothes and was a little surprised, and said in surprise: "Miss Yunyan, why are you here?" How is this dressed? ”
Yunyan made a gesture of silence, and then whispered, "Come with me!" Take me to your village. ”
Li Daniu saw that Yunyan was ready to go to Xiaomin Village to treat the villagers, and cried with joy: "Thank you girl for helping!" Yunyan vigilantly stared at the movements around him, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go, it's too late for my senior brother to come, and I can't leave any of them!" ”
Hyun Bin pushed open the door and came in and said, "Brother Da Niu, I'll send you out of the valley." He found the room empty, frowned, seemed to think of something, and exclaimed, "Oh no! ”
Yunyan and Li Daniu came out of the medicine valley in the dark, thinking that they would not be discovered, but they didn't know that they had been following a person from a distance behind them.
Xiaomin Village is only three hundred miles away from the Medicine Valley, Yunyan saw that Li Daniu had just recovered because of the illness, and his body had not yet recovered, so he walked very slowly, and he had to stop after walking a few steps, and he was very impatient. She hugged her fists and said, "How offended!" ”
In an exclamation, Yunyan carried Li Daniu and flew away.
According to Li Daniu's direction, the two soon arrived at Xiaomin Village, Li Daniu touched his head and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Yun not only has good medical skills, but also has very good skills." ”
Yun Yan said: "In order to act for convenience in the future, you must call me Yun Gongzi, remember!" Li Daniu nodded solemnly.
Yunyan looked up at the stone plaque at the entrance of the village, which was engraved with the words "Xiaomin Village", because of the age, there were some signs of cracking, and the few white lanterns on the top were broken and shaky, making the atmosphere even more bleak.
Yunyan followed Li Daniu into the village, which was very large, but none of the lights were on, and the whole village was like a large tomb. The smell of freshly burned paper money and incense candles filled the air, which further exaggerated the terrifying situation.
Li Daniu entered his house, lit a soybean oil lamp, and said with an apologetic face: "Yun Gongzi, because the people in the village are very afraid of light since they got the plague, they will not light the lamp at night, please forgive me." ”
Yunyan put down the cloth bag, relaxed his muscles, and asked, "Is there a good thing in the village?" Can the situation be reported to the court? Li Daniu nodded, sighed and said, "There is one, but Li Zheng is also infected with the plague now." When I didn't get infected before, I went to report to my superiors. Speaking of this, Da Niu clenched his fists angrily and said: "But the people above are afraid of affecting their political performance, so they have suppressed this matter and are trying to solve it privately with the villagers." ”
Yunyan had some understanding of the situation, and ordered: "Tomorrow the sky is bright, you take me to Lizheng's house, and I will arrange it freely." ”
Li Daniu saw that Yunyan already had an idea, so he should also make a decision: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow." ”
The next day, Li Daniu took Yunyan to Li Tong's house in Xiaomin Village. Li Tong's family is no different from ordinary people's families, and even simpler than ordinary people's homes, so it seems that he should be a good official.
Li Tong sat on the couch panting, looked at the guest with weak eyelids, and said apologetically: "Let you see and laugh." Li Daniu said: "Li Zheng, I brought you a doctor back, Yun Gongzi is amazing, and he cured my illness!" ”
Li Tong's eyes were full of disbelief, he couldn't stop looking at the young man in front of him who was too young, and there were some thin skin and tender meat, and said, "Can Yun Gongzi really help us heal?" ”
Yunyan didn't take this somewhat rude look and question to heart, she smiled slightly and said, "Lord Lizheng will know it when you try it." Li Zheng's careful consideration, she understood, which showed that he was treating her as an outsider from the perspective of the villagers, and he was a very good village official.
Yunyan gave him a pulse, and it was determined that he had the same plague as Li Daniu. So he went down to grind the medicine. When Li Tong saw her leaving, he immediately asked Li Da Niu, "Big Niu? Where did you get that little brother? ”
Li Daniu just wanted to talk about Medicine Valley, but suddenly thought of Yun Yan and him in advance about the three chapters of the law, and he must not mention anything about Medicine Valley, otherwise Yun Yan would not treat anyone.
He paused and said, "Alas, you are suspicious! I fainted on the side of the road when I went out to look for water to drink, and this master happened to meet me on the side of the road and came to my aid. He saw that Li Zheng was still a little hesitant, and then said: "You didn't see the situation I had a few days ago, aren't you standing here alive now!" ”
When Li Tong heard him say this, he also had some expectations in his heart, he was originally going to wait for death at home, but he still had a hesitation, after all, this offspring was too young.
Yunyan handed the medicine to Li Tong and said, "Master Li Zheng drink this bowl of medicine, rest for an hour and then see the effect." ”
Li Tong drank it, felt the dry itch in his throat seem to be a little better, and obediently planned to follow Yunyan's words first.
Yunyan walked out of Lizheng's house, pondered for a moment and asked, "Da Niu, where do you have mountains?" Da Niu said: "There is a small mountain nearby, and there is the source of water in our village, and everyone sometimes goes to the mountain to fetch water." ”
Yunyan nodded and ordered: "You go back to Li Zheng's house first and look at Li Zheng, and when he wakes up, he will come to the mountain and tell me." Li Daniu responded, he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "Then Yun Gongzi, where are you going?" ”
Yunyan shook the back basket behind his back and said, "The medicinal herbs I brought are only enough for a few people, and to treat everyone in your village, you need a lot of medicinal herbs." ”
The most critical herb for the treatment of this plague grows in extremely dark places, and it is a rare herb in the world that is the most yin and cold, and it is only this yin and cold attribute that can cure the internal heat of the plague.
This kind of herb is only recorded in the unique book of the medicine scripture in the Zangjing Pavilion of the Medicine Valley, and because of the special growth environment, this kind of herb is also difficult to find. Yun Yan was a little glad that he had read all the books in the Scripture Pavilion at the beginning, otherwise the plague this time would have been really difficult to solve.
