The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Yun Niang woke up.

The cold air was filled with the smell of herbs, her eyes were half-open, she had not yet regained consciousness, her head was still aching, and in her blurry and shaky vision, the bonfire was burning, and the dim light reflected the back of the person.

There was the sound of boiling water in the small pot, and the sound of people talking was intermittent.

"Woman, born cold, although the current condition is stable, but not cured, this soup stone medicine must not be broken, three consecutive days, will be raised for a month, before you can walk, otherwise you will have to worry about your life."

"Please also tell me the name, and Ang will repay him in the future."

"The old Hua Tuo, in the past, practiced medicine in the Central Plains, and also visited the famous mountains and rivers, picking herbs from all over the world, but today he just happened to pass by and give a helping hand, and there is no need to say anything about repayment."

The old man who spoke, about fifty years old, with a high forehead, a gray beard, shaking a fan in his hand, driving away mosquitoes, in a boiling small pot, the strong man next to him ignored the hot and slowly poured it into the clay pot, just when he saw the girl open her eyes.

"Yun Niang is awake." Wu Anguo finally had a smile on his face.

The branch was hurriedly thrown into the fire, Cao Ang arched his hand at the old man, got up and ran over, wrapped one hand around the back to the other shoulder, helped the girl to sit up, let the back of her head rest on his elbow, and grinned happily: "It's okay...... Yun Niang, you're okay. ”

Wu Anguo also gathered around, rubbing his hands happily, turning around from time to time to arch his hand to the old man beside the fire, and saying words of thanks.

Here, Yun Niang's body was weak, her head was still a little unconscious, she couldn't speak, leaning on the man's arms, she could still hear what he said clearly, and on her weak and pale pretty face, she struggled to squeeze out a smile. Cao Ang's eyes were slightly moist and red, he was raised by the Ding family since he was a child, and he was more delicate about emotions, leaning over and looking at Yun Niang in his arms, there were some irrepressible emotions, and the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes slipped down, "....... In the future, you can watch it as much as you want, and you can watch it for as long as you want......"

The wind blew through the hills, and the firelight swayed.

The girl's pale face flushed, and her eyes were open wide, with tears in them, and she sniffed, her lips moved open, and she didn't make a sound after all, but buried her head in the man's arms, and her mood fluctuated, and she whimpered and cried quietly.

"Cry, cry, it's okay." Cao Ang rubbed the green silk behind her head and said comfortingly.

Next to the fire, Wu Anguo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sat down and 'snapped' off a branch and threw it into the fire, and said with a smile: "Young Aimu, kiss me and me as soon as you wake up, so that the princess will laugh." ”

"Hehe......" The old man laughed, waved his hand and said, "Whoever doesn't have a young age, it doesn't matter, just let them be alone." ”

Wu Anguo nodded, then fell silent, watching the firelight flickering, he suddenly said: "Taigong has such medical skills, and I heard that there is an epidemic here at this moment, right?" ”

"That's true." Hua Tuo stroked his long beard and sighed: "The old man was collecting medicine in the mountains, and he heard about it when he got off the mountain, and when he rushed there, he was already full of corpses. It's a pity that even if I have the heart to heal, I can't save a few people, I heard that Zhang Jishan in Changsha County has symptoms such as plague and typhoid fever, if he comes to prescribe medicine, and then the government assists him, he can save countless people. ”

"Zhang Ji?"

The old man smiled, his eyes were complicated, and there was kindness, "This person is still in Changsha Taishou, and a good mansion has become a medical hall, which can be regarded as a long time in the past." ”

Changsha is located in the south of Jingzhou, hundreds of miles away, the news of the epidemic in Yuzhou has not passed at this time, even if it can come later, it is too late in time, Hua Tuo can't help but feel a little regretful for this.

"I'll go."

Wu Anguo suddenly spoke, and when his eyes turned to the pair of men and women, Cao Ang also looked over: "Ang will also go together." ”

"You stay and take care of Yun Niang, I'll be faster alone." Wu Anguo took a deep breath and waved the hammer in his hand, "I went to Changsha, if he doesn't come, he will be tied up, and one more person will be burdensome." ”

Cao Ang looked at him silently, and finally nodded. Beside the fire, Hua Tuo looked at them, stroked his beard and smiled, and nodded at them appreciatively, "This strong man is going, old man admires, then this little brother and girl will come with me, after you find Zhang Zhongjing, you will join us in Xudu, how about it?" ”

"Naturally!"

Wu Anguo cooled the medicine in the clay pot, handed it to Cao Ang, and chatted with them for a while, and soon after, the day dawned, the bonfire was extinguished, and the sparks drifted into the air.

************

The goshawk spread its wings and looked down on the dry earth, making a long cry in the clouds. Soaring below the figure, far away to the Yellow River, more than 200 horsemen have crossed the turbulent river, regrouped, and came towards Yuzhou.

Xudu, under the wide city wall, the noise and crying converged, the crowded crowd looked at the city wall, let out a heart-rending cry, behind the wall battlement, someone pulled the bow and aimed downward, the tight string loosened again, and did not shoot out after all. Since the outbreak of the plague in the south, a large number of people have begun to flee in a radial form for half a month, and tens of thousands of bones have been exposed to the wilderness, and many more people who have not died will slowly die in the near future.

Under the double fear of hunger and epidemic, the crazy refugees stormed the city gate from time to time, and if it were not for Cao Cao's strict order to close the city gate, the consequences would be even more serious.

Xuchang City.

"Prime Minister, there are more and more refugees gathered outside the city, and even if it is delayed, I am afraid it will not be able to last long. In the city, some wealthy and powerful people also want to go out of the city to take refuge in Yanzhou or Jizhou, and they have come to my yamen many times. ”

"Joke, leave to Jizhou, they are not afraid that Yuan Shao will kill them on the edge of the Yellow River. Berning, you send someone to warn those people that it is better to be in peace, stay in the city honestly, and when the cold wind blows, this epidemic will only end, and as for the outside, they only need to give some food. ”

On the Cao Mansion, Cao Cao has suffered another head illness in the past two days, plus the troubles, the whole person has been cleared a lot, on the other side, talking to him is Xu Duling Manzhong, the latter has a difficult face, "Actually, I can't blame them for not being in a hurry, there are also suspected patients infected with the plague in the city recently, and I have been isolated." ”

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and waved his hand violently: "Kill ......" In a cold tone, the next action was finalized.

In this case, many people have to give up their dignity and sell themselves or their children to each other, or some of the land in their hands are also merged into the hands of the other party, and the gentry and the family have also completed the measures to expand the family business.

However, the great famine caused by the plague is that few people are willing to do this, after all, if they are not careful, they will themselves be infected, and the gains outweigh the losses, which has always been a problem that people with brains and insight will deliberately avoid. Even if there are many high-pressure promulgations from above, they always have many methods and means to turn things around, and in the past years, decades, and even longer, the family business has accumulated little by little, defeating countless enemies who have stood above their heads.

Merely...... This time, with some exceptions, on the 23rd of July, Gongsun stopped entering the west gate of Xudu.
