Chapter 98: The Stench

In fact, Wei Changfeng didn't have much to say about finding someone, he walked for a day, and also inquired for a day, but he heard about two rich people surnamed Li, one is eighty years old, not to mention being Li Qianyue's uncle, it is too old to be her grandfather, and this rich man resolutely denies that he has a brother in Xingcheng; Another uncle who is almost old enough to be Li Qianyue's uncle, but he is a big fat man who is beautiful and fat, at first I heard that a woman was looking for an uncle, and she was busy admitting herself, but under interrogation, she showed her feet in a few words: this big fat man has no brothers at all, no one. Looking for it again, I asked all over Jinzhou, but I couldn't find the third rich man surnamed Ma.

Nina listened to Wei Changfeng's words, seemed to be smiling happily, and leaned over gently: "General Wei, after looking for a day, you must be very tired, I will go back to the account with you, how about beating your legs?" ”

"You better help Miss Li guard the door." Wei Changfeng threw down a sentence, turned around and left, for fear that Nina would come up again.

Nina looked at Wei Changfeng's back, but her smile was gone, and she sighed lightly: "Changfeng, how can I say hello?" ”

Early the next morning, before Wei Changfeng had time to ask Li Qianyue if he had any other clues, Ma Yong sent a herald and ordered Wei Changfeng to lead the men and horses of his headquarters to maintain law and order, rectify the city defense, and specialize in patrol work.

Wei Changfeng had to put down the matter of helping Li Qianyue find his uncle and take the team to inspect. At this time, Jinzhou was initially decided, the magistrate was not yet in place, and the affairs could only be led by the Han army first, and there was still some chaos in the city.

Wei Changfeng inspected the streets of the city, all the way from east to south, and then to west, and as far as he could see, he saw that the people were all unclothed, with yellow faces and thin muscles, dull expressions, and secretly hurt themselves in their hearts.

After noon, Wei Changfeng finished eating and continued to inspect the west of the city, planning to turn from west to north, and then return to the camp to rest. Turning a street corner, a stench came to the nostrils, the smell made people want to vomit, the smoked Wei Changfeng coughed, and the accompanying soldiers also covered their noses and retreated one by one.

"Let's take a look." Wei Changfeng commanded with the stench.

The crowd struggled to walk a short distance, only to see a field of houses in front of them. The houses were low and low, with thatched houses and small mud houses, all crooked, and in front of the houses were one garbage heap after another, and the sewage flowed sideways, and the water was black and yellow, and this pungent stench came from the water.

Wei Changfeng coughed twice, still unable to resist the stench, seeing that some of the soldiers accompanying him were retching, he thought to himself that such a place is really uninhabitable, so let's quickly inspect it and leave.

Seeing that there was no place for his horse to ride in front of him, he turned over and dismounted, gave the reins to the soldiers, and strode forward, hoping to see a few rooms before he vomited, and then left. After only a few steps, something moved on the side.

Wei Changfeng was taken aback, looked to the side, and at a glance, he only felt that the lunch in his stomach was surging up.

In the garbage heap next to it, there was a person upside down. I really can't tell how old this person is, I can only see that it is a man, covered in feces, thin skin and bones, if he hadn't moved, he couldn't tell that it was a person at all.

Wei Changfeng endured his nausea, approached the person on the dung water, and asked, "Who are you?" How so? ”

The man heard someone talking, tried to open his eyes, wiped a handful on his face, wiped the dirt from his eyes, opened his mouth, but did not speak, and only made a low "ah" "ah" "ah" sound in his throat.

Wei Changfeng made up his mind twice in his heart before he reached out and grabbed this person's shirt, trying to pull this person up, only to pull up half a foot, and with a bang, this person's clothes were already shattered, and his body fell down like a piece of dead wood, splashing a piece of sewage.

"Come and help"! Wei Changfeng shouted behind him.

Several soldiers frowned and gritted their teeth, and together they helped to carry the man out, but although they carried out the garbage heap, they really couldn't find a clean place, and they were helpless, and the door of a low-grade earthen house on the side opened, and an old man came out.

When the old man opened the door and saw a general with a few soldiers carrying the man, he was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Put him down quickly!" He is sick and cannot be touched! ”

When several soldiers carrying the man heard this, they hurriedly let go of their hands in fright, and with a thud, the man had fallen to the ground.

Wei Changfeng hurriedly stepped forward to look, and saw that this person was blank and no longer breathing. He sighed, turned his head and asked the old man, "Who is this person?" How do you know that he has a bad disease? ”

The old man replied, "The general has just arrived, and I don't know what is going on here. The place where the old man lived was called Dead Man's Alley in the city, but some people who had a bad disease and could not be cured threw it into these garbage heaps and transported it out of the city in the middle of the night every night. ”

Wei Changfeng heard it strangely and asked, "Is it just thrown here alive?" ”

The old man smiled, and the smile was indescribably bitter: "Dead or alive." The Donghu people don't care whether these people are alive or dead, anyway, they are thrown here and transported outside the city to be burned, and the living will also die. ”

Wei Changfeng suddenly felt a chill on his back.

In front of him, there seemed to be a group of Han people, all of them skinny, burned alive in the fire, these people all opened their mouths wide, wanted to call, but could not make a sound. At this moment, he couldn't even feel the pungent stench, he seemed to smell the smell of burnt flesh.

He settled down and asked, "What is your surname?" Why do you live here? Are all of these houses occupied? ”

The old man replied indifferently: "The old man's surname is Zhang, and he lives here to earn a living and get a bite to eat." The custom of the Donghu people is not to transport garbage out of the city during the day, only to pile up the garbage here, and in the middle of the night, they will find some Han people to help them transport garbage, and they are also afraid that these people with vicious diseases will be transmitted, so there are some people who have no food and clothing, and they have nothing to do for a living, so they risk death to transport these people with vicious diseases and garbage out of the city for a living. As for the ...... in these houses," he paused and continued, "Originally, there were people living in them, but now it is impossible to say which of the people living in the houses are still alive and which are also dead by the disease. People are dying here every day, or just throwing them in the garbage heap, or pulling them out of those houses and throwing them in the garbage heap. ”

Wei Changfeng's heart was sad. Alien humiliation, people are not as good as dogs. He sighed and comforted: "Daddy Zhang, now that the Han people have recovered the city, you will not be bullied like this anymore, I will report to the commander after I go back, and find a way to help you clean up here, at least so that you will not live like this." ”
