Chapter 606: The Beginning of the Clouds and the Sunsink Pavilion (17)
The officers and soldiers guarding the outside are also human beings, and they have a heart made of flesh, and when they hear the cries inside, the children are powerless to call for help, and they will also be soft-hearted, but they can't be soft-hearted, so they have to expel them with tears in their eyes.
When Meng Fusheng came over, he saw this scene, several people cried from the town blocked by the barricades, and the eyes of several younger officers and soldiers were red, and they were wiping their tears with their faces.
When Meng Fusheng approached, an officer and soldier immediately came over and stopped him, "You can't go in here." ”
Meng Fusheng hurriedly said: "I am a doctor, I have an understanding of the plague, maybe there is a way to develop an antidote, can you let me in." ”
Hearing that he was a doctor, the eyes of several officers and soldiers lit up, but a few felt that Meng Fusheng was young, so they did not have hope for it.
"Let's go, the little doctor, the plague is not an ordinary minor disease, there are several old doctors, and even the imperial doctor in the palace can't do anything. It's not that we don't trust it, or we're afraid of taking a human life for nothing. ”
At this moment, the cry inside suddenly rose high.
"Daddy! Mother! Don't leave your daughters behind! ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
Meng Fusheng's heart was sour, and he said very firmly: "You don't have to worry, I must be sure to ask to go in, if I continue to blockade like this, the people inside will definitely die, and the plague cannot be solved by blockade." ”
An officer and soldier sighed and said: "This is true of past experience, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the blockade alone, so the higher authorities also ordered that in a few days, the town will be set on fire." ”
"Burn the town!" Meng Fusheng's face was full of disbelief, "How can this work?" The patients inside are still saved, isn't it too cruel to burn them alive? What's more, there may be some people in it who are not sick, and if they are all burned to death, it will ......"
The officers and soldiers couldn't bear it, "We don't want to, but this is an order from above, and it is also for the plague not to spread, alas, we people below can only obey orders." ”
"Let me try!" Meng Fusheng's eyes were firm, and his tone was sincere, "I'll go in, they still have a chance to live, and you don't need to set fire, if you really let it go, can you really rest assured?" If I go, it will be useless, then you can continue to do what you planned, and I will not stop you. Please. ”
Several officers and soldiers wavered and helped persuade the others, "Why don't you let him go in and give it a try?" What about so many lives? ”
They looked at each other, and they all saw that they were moved in each other's eyes, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, if you really cure them, you will be the benefactor of Xingyun Town." ”
Meng Fusheng held their hands and thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." ”
The officers and soldiers at the head commanded loudly: "Someone, open it!" ”
The barricades were slowly removed, revealing the lifeless Xingyun Town behind it, and a decaying aura of death filled the sky.
Meng Fusheng walked in without hesitation, and as soon as he walked in, a biting cold seeped in through the thin skin and flesh, freezing his bones cold.
Along the way, the doors and windows of every house were closed, as if he was afraid that something would go out.
Suddenly, Meng Fusheng heard the sound of someone sobbing quietly, he followed the sound, and saw an unkempt little girl wearing a tattered coat who was kneeling next to a corpse covered by a broken mat and crying, her skinny little hands on the edge of the mat, dirty.
Meng Fusheng's heart ached, he walked to him lightly, squatted down, and asked softly, "Little girl, what happened?" ”
The little girl looked at him, wearing a thick mask, revealing only a pair of hollow eyes, clear tears slipped silently, leaving two wide tear stains on her little face that she couldn't find a clean place, and it didn't enter the mask, "Daddy can't get up, the mayor and grandfather helped me cover Daddy, just like Mom, they don't want me anymore." ”
Meng Fusheng's heart ached, he tentatively took the little girl's hand, she did not refuse, Meng Fusheng relieved to help her take the pulse, and comforted at the same time: "Little girl, don't be afraid, Daddy is watching you in the sky." ”
There was nothing unusual about the little girl's pulse, which showed that she was well protected by her father, so she was not sick.
"You take your brother to the mayor, your brother will help them heal, and then send you to a safe place."
"A safe place." The little girl whispered, "Safe place, yes, my father told me to go to a safe place, but someone stopped me and didn't let me out." ”
Meng Fusheng thought that what she said was probably the barricade in the town, so he held the little girl's hand tightly and whispered, "Brother can take you there, can you trust my brother?" ”
"Believe my brother." The little girl repeated his words, and her eyes gradually lit up, as if she had been injected with brilliance, "Brother, can you really take me to a safe place?" My father and mother said, let me go to a safe place and wait for them, they were waiting for me there. ”
Meng Fusheng looked at the covered corpse on the ground, and firmly took the little girl's hand, "Well, then you can take me to the mayor first, brother will help them heal." ”
The little girl's big eyes opened and suddenly became vivid, "Mayor Grandpa, can they be okay?" Same as before? Teach us to read? ”
Meng Fusheng looked into her two pairs of eyes squarely and said seriously: "Yes, my brother will make them better." ”
"Uh-huh, brother come with me." The little girl dragged Meng Fusheng away, and after walking more than a dozen steps, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at the corpse, and said in a loud voice, "Daddy, you and your mother remember to wait for me in a safe place." ”
The mayor's family lives in a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, and the little girl is very familiar with the road, and the knock on the door is particularly crisp, "Grandpa the mayor!" Grandpa the mayor opens the door! I'm Yaya! ”
Soon someone came to open the door, it was an old old man, his face and body were tightly wrapped, only a pair of cloudy eyes and snow-white hair were exposed, and his voice was hoarse, "Yaya, why are you running around, what if you get sick?" ”
"Are you the mayor of Xingyun Town?"
The old man seemed to see him at this time, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" Doesn't seem to be from our town? Young man, you don't want to die, come in at this time, go quickly, if you can, take the maid away, she is a good child, and she is not sick. ”
Meng Fusheng saw that he was about to pull the door, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "I came in on my own initiative, I am a doctor, I have research on plagues, and I may be able to help you heal." ”
Meng Fusheng looked too young, the old mayor shook his head, sighed and said, "The young man is still young, he doesn't know the severity of this plague, we have no hope, don't do stupid things." ”
