"Lord Daotai, there's still no news from the capital, right?" Wu Liande watched Yu Sixing walk in from the door tiredly, but when he saw Yu Sixing's demeanor, he also knew that things had not improved.

"After all, this matter is too big, and I think it will not be decided until the end of the year." Yu Sixing said this, but in fact, he was not sure at all. Usually, there are countless rights and wrongs in the Daotai Yamen, but at this time there are many people, and there are few people on the streets of Harbin at this time, which has become more and more lively in recent years. Consulates are closed.

Yu Sixing asked someone to bring a pot of wine and two cups over, "Come, Doctor Wu, let's take a break today." ”

"It's going to be the New Year in a day or two, and Lord Yu won't be at home to spend more time with his family, so what kind of wine will he drink with me." Wu Liande Road.

"Who still has the heart to celebrate the New Year now, and it is a blessing to be able to celebrate the New Year together." Yu Sixing is happy in the bitterness.

"Lord Yu, Lord Wu, a telegram from Lord Taonan Qin." Suddenly, the official at the door ran in with a startled voice.

"What's the matter?" At the moment, Yu Sixing is not in the mood to blame the gaffe of the servant.

"Big event, big thing, Lord Qin said that he would burn the corpse in Taonan!" The officer's words shocked Wu Liande and Yu Sixing, and they each looked at each other in disbelief. At present, cremation of corpses has become the most effective means of self-rescue, but without the will of the imperial court, neither Yu Sixing nor Wu Liande dare to take this step.

"What? You repeat! ”

"Lord Qin called the Governor and decided to publicly burn the body at the Taonan Cemetery tomorrow." The official said it again.

Yu Sixing was fast, stepped forward in two steps, snatched the telegram from the hand of the servant, and quickly swept it, the whole person was stunned, and only sighed for a long time, "What a Qin Yu, the old man is not as good, the old man is not as good!" ”

Wu Liande was speechless for a long time after reading the telegram sent by Qin Yu to Xiliang, and now there are too many people who know how to protect themselves.

"No, if I hide this from my aunt, she will have to skin me when I turn around." Cheng Ming saw Qin Yu locking himself in the house and explaining some affairs, as if he was explaining what was going on, he couldn't help but feel sour, thinking of the third aunt's previous doting on Qin Yu, if Qin Yu really contracted the plague, Cheng Ming didn't dare to imagine what would happen later.

"It's not certain about this, didn't the doctor say it too, I'm not sure, I think you should say these things yourself later."

"Forget it, it's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, forget it, let him go." Qin Yu also felt that he was thinking too much. Today, the cough is even worse, and he has a high fever, the whole person is sick, and he can't lift his spirits, which is quite similar to the symptoms of those plague patients in the previous few days, so Qin Yu can't help but think about it elsewhere.

"Is Miss Chen there?" Qin Jian, led by Wang Yuhai, found the residence of Chen Xinyi and her third uncle's family.

"Xinyi rests in the house." Chen Xinyi's third uncle heard a knock on the door, opened the door ajar, and poked his head out of it.

"I'm Lord Qin's cousin, and I'm here to find Miss Chen, and I have something to tell her." Qin Jian said anxiously.

"Xinyi hasn't laughed since she came back the day before yesterday, how did she get it like this, if your family doesn't see us as a small family, we won't climb this family business." Chen Xinyi's third uncle said something angry.

"Things are not what Miss Chen thinks, my cousin didn't let Miss Chen go to the barracks for her own good, you let me go to see her, and I can make it clear when I see her." Qin Jian said anxiously, "Otherwise, in another day or two, maybe there won't be that chance." ”

Chen Xinyi's third uncle hesitated for a while, but still let Qin Jian into the house.

"Xinyi, Lord Qin's cousin came to you and said that there was something important."

Chen Xinyi sat by the window, her body didn't move at all, she looked out of the glass window with a blank face, the whole person seemed to have no soul, compared to the ruddy one a few days ago, the whole person looked haggard and pale.

"Miss Chen!" Qin Jian shouted a few times before Chen Xinyi reacted.

"Actually, my cousin treats you like this for a reason, he, he is sick, and now the doctor doesn't know whether it is the wind cold or the plague." Qin Jian hesitated a few more times when he spoke, but finally decided to speak out. In their opinion, if Qin Yu left like this, he would inevitably be too lonely, and as for Chen Xinyi, if she couldn't be with Qin Yu, she would have no status.

Chen Xinyi's somewhat stagnant eyes suddenly became a little angry, and she suddenly looked at Qin Jian and said in a trembling voice, "Qin, Qin Yu is contaminated with the plague?" ”

"I don't know, I have a bad cough and a fever in the past two days, he locked himself in the house, no one is allowed to enter, we have no choice, no one to take care of, even if it is not the plague, I am afraid that a good person will not be able to withstand such a toss, although the request is excessive, Chen, Miss Chen, you might as well go and see him." My cousin has never let us tell you, and I came here secretly. ”

"I'll go now." Chen Xinyi stood up suddenly, her eyes were red, and the crystal tears could not be suppressed.

"He is not in the barracks now, the cemetery burned his body today, my cousin went to the cemetery, and I prepared a carriage at the door." Qin Jian saw Chen Xinyi running out of the door in a gaffe, and hurriedly shouted in the back, watching Chen Xinyi get into the carriage without hesitation, Qin Jian couldn't help but sigh, Qin Yu said it well, Chen Xinyi, a woman, looks soft and weak on the outside, but in fact, she is very strong inside.

The cemetery in the south of Taonan has accumulated tens of thousands of corpses during this time, and these corpses have accumulated into mountains of corpses, and many of them have begun to decay in them, but due to the low temperature, coupled with the north wind blowing again, standing in the north, I don't smell the stench that makes people have a strong desire to vomit.

"At present, the situation has reached such a severe level, there is no need for foreplay, it is poured with kerosene and burned, so many people, it is estimated that it will not be burned in a day or two. If I'm unlucky, I'll get sick in the next few days. When the time comes, I will be cremated here, and I must be fair after all. After a violent cough in the carriage, his voice was a little weak.

"Your Excellency!" Ding Cheng, Wang Yuhai, Yang Xing, Li Chengwen, Tian Helin and others who were closer dismounted and knelt on the ground, their voices choked. Most of the soldiers behind had already known Qin Yu's situation at this time, and they knelt down one after another.

When Chen Xinyi rushed to the vicinity of the cemetery, she only saw a group of soldiers kneeling on the cold ground, and her nose couldn't help but be sour, and at the same time, there was also a trace of pride in her heart, except for Qin Yu, she had never seen anyone who could be so supported by the soldiers.

The carriage passed through the kneeling crowd, Chen Xinyi got out of the carriage and approached Qin Yu's car step by step.

"Qin Yu." Chen Xinyi stood next to the carriage and called softly.

"Xinyi, it's you." Qin Yu was a little surprised, "Why are you here, aren't you Qin Jian and Cheng Ming, those two bastards?" ”

"Don't blame them, I'm here myself." Chen Xinyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, her face flashed with a hint of happiness, "You have taken up my body, so how can I marry in this life, if you want to leave me alone like this, I will not live alone." ”

"You, hey..." Qin Yu didn't know what to say, after a long time, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Chen Xinyi's pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, which was much clearer than before, Qin Yu jumped out of the carriage, untied the cloak on his body, draped it on Chen Xinyi, and watched the raging fire in the distance engulf the mountain of corpses.
