Longyun Villa is located on the edge of the Juma River in Yizhou, surrounded by mountains, and is a good place for relaxation. However, Hu Ye is not here for leisure, he is here to meet an old friend.

The box that the middle-aged man threw to Hu Ye last night turned out to be a pair of glasses. Hu Ye didn't think that there were other glasses in this world, so they could only be given to Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian before.

Hu Ye didn't know why the people of Longyun Villa had this pair of glasses, but it was certain that Longyun Villa must have seen those two old men. As for whether they were arrested or invited to Longyun Villa as guests, Hu Ye did not know.

But if they can take out this pair of glasses, it means that they know the relationship between them and Lou Ying. Hu Ye didn't worry about the safety of going to Longyun Villa, with Zheng Da's secret protection, plus the flintlock pistol on his waist, there shouldn't be any major problems, and Longyun Villa didn't seem to have any hostility towards him.

"Childe, I heard that you have excellent medical skills and have the art of bringing the dead back to life?" It was almost time to arrive at Longyun Villa, and the middle-aged man asked Hu Ye on his horse.

"What do you mean by that?" Hu Ye glanced at the middle-aged man curiously, this thing didn't talk much all the way, and he only gave orders to his subordinates after working all night.

"I heard that the four sons of King Yan were congenitally deficient, but the son's wonderful hands rejuvenated, and he actually borrowed his life from the sky to let the four sons survive, and now they are no different from ordinary people." The middle-aged man said with a hint of doubt.

Although he is from the rivers and lakes, not Langzhong, he also knows the danger of Zhu Gaoxi's congenital insufficiency. Many of them died of that disease, which has been condemned as incurable for many years.

"How did you find out? Could it be that the owner of this thing is suing you? ”

When Hu Ye heard this, he had already guessed almost enough.

"Yes, it is indeed an old gentleman who sued us." The middle-aged man nodded.

"One? Isn't it two? ”

Hu Ye asked curiously, did he remember that Lou Ying and Xiao Jiuxian went out of Beiping together, did he separate the two?

"It was indeed two at first, but after the two of them arrived at Longyun Villa. The white-bearded man went back to Jiangnan, looking very anxious. The middle-aged man replied.

Whitebeard must have said Xiao Jiuxian, but why did he anxiously return to Jiangnan? And Lou Ying stayed?

"Why did you arrest Lou Ying? Do you also have congenital deficiencies in your village? Hu Ye asked curiously.

If you want to catch two langzhong, you must be sick and need to be treated. If you don't want those two old men to be treated, I'm afraid there will only be the disease of congenital insufficiency. But why did they let Xiao Jiuxian go again?

"There was indeed a congenitally deficient person in the village before, but he died half a year ago. This time, we invited Mr. Lou here, but he had another condition, and I can't say more about what it is. The owner of the village also gave us a gag order, and only the son himself asked the owner for details. The middle-aged man said. A Zhuangzi appeared in front of it.

It's the morning sun just rising, shining on the Zhuangzi, it looks very fresh, if it weren't for the two guards holding big knives in front of the Zhuangzi gate, it would really be a bit of a summer resort.

"Go and report to the owner, and say that I have invited someone." The middle-aged man rode to the door and said to one of the guards.

"Young Master, have you arrived?" Saren poked his head out, rubbed his eyes, and said. Apparently didn't sleep well last night. Tsing Yi is even worse. I couldn't stand the bumps during the day, and I couldn't adapt to it at night, so as soon as I stopped, I fell asleep again.

"Saren. Later, I will go in and follow Uncle Qian closely, and I must not run around. Hu Ye turned to Saren and said, I can't figure out the situation inside yet, so it's better to be careful.

"Oh. Got it. Saren nodded obediently.

"Childe, let's go in first, and the owner will summon us in a while." The middle-aged man rode back. said to Hu Ye.

The villa is very large, not smaller than Yanwangfu at all, but it is not as luxurious as Yanwangfu.

"Childe, I see that your maidservants are quite tired, or I will arrange a room and let them sleep first." After entering the villa, the middle-aged man said.

Hu Ye looked at Saren and Tsing Yi in the carriage, and said to Lao Qian, "Lao Qian, you take them to rest, and I'll go see Lou Ying." ”

Lao Qian had a hint of hesitation, his responsibility was to protect Hu Ye, if something happened to Hu Ye, he would have no face to live. However, after glancing at the flintlock pistol on Hu Ye's waist, he thought of the tragic situation of the Rolling Tiger, and he was relieved.

Immediately after that, another person came, and said a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and then the middle-aged man smiled and said to Hu Ye, "Childe, the owner of the village is already waiting in the main hall, let's go." ”

Hu Ye didn't speak, and followed closely behind the middle-aged man, holding a bullet in his hand to deal with the emergency.

After a while, the middle-aged man took Hu Ye to the outside of a large hall.

"Zhuang Master, Master Hu Ye is here." After the middle-aged man stayed with Hu Ye, he said a word inside, and then walked out of the main hall.

Hu Ye walked in slowly and found a familiar figure and a middle-aged strong man.

But when Hu Ye looked at the familiar figure carefully, he suddenly felt a little shocked. Because although he recognized that it was Lou Ying's old man, he found that Lou Ying's beard was turned white, and his hair was a little white, and he was about to catch up with Xiao Jiuxian.

"Mr. Lou, what's wrong with you?" Hu Ye hurriedly walked up in two steps and asked Lou Ying in some surprise.

Lou Ying's eyelids were very heavy, and when she saw Hu Ye coming, she had some energy.

"Hu Ye, you're finally here." Lou Ying's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, and she seemed a little weak.

"Who are you and what have you done to him."

Hu Ye yelled at the middle-aged strong man, the previous Lou Ying was old and strong, and it was not a problem to gnaw two pig's trotters, but he hadn't seen him for three months, his beard and hair were gray, and his body had lost a lot of weight, it must have been done by the person in front of him.

Although Lou Ying's friendship with him is not too deep, after all, he got them to Beiping City, and Lou Ying is now like this, and he can't get rid of it.

"Hu Ye, you are wrong, but this matter has nothing to do with the owner of the Dragon Village." Lou Ying whispered to Hu Ye.

"Hehe, it seems that this is the son of Hu Ye who is highly respected by the old gentleman, in Xia Longyi." The dragon snorted. stood up from the chair and said with a smile towards Hu Ye.

"Why did you ask someone to invite me to this Longyun Villa? You don't just want to see me, aren't you interested in bounties? Hu Ye looked at Long Yi curiously.

"I was really interested in bounties before, but last time I was told not to bother with your idea, and I lost the idea. So inviting you to come this time is definitely not a bounty thing. Long Yi said with a smile.

"Empty prints? Who is he, and how come I haven't heard of it? Hu Ye was stunned, who is the empty seal? I've heard of the empty seal case, but it's a big one. It has nothing to do with the individual.

"Hu Ye, it was my idea to call you this time, I heard that you went out of Beiping to the south, and I specially asked the owner of Longzhuang to take my glasses and invite you here. If you don't have glasses, I know you won't believe it. ”

Lou Ying watched Hu Ye and Long Yi talk, sighed, and then said to Hu Ye.

"Mr. Lou, what are you asking me to do? And what's going on with your body? Could it be that this dragon has trapped you? What won't you eat? Hu Ye ignored Long Yi, but asked Lou Ying with great concern.

"Well, that's a long story."

Lou Ying sighed, and the person suddenly looked much older again. Then he said slowly, "Three months ago, Lao Xiao and I got off Xiangshan and rented a carriage. I want to go all the way south and return to Jiangnan as soon as possible. ”

"You know, the drought was already taking shape at that time. Some people have already started to flee, and some people have started to get sick. Lao Xiao and I walked all the way to practice medicine, so we walked very slowly. ”

"About two months ago, Lao Xiao and I came to Yizhou and found that more and more people were sick. At first, we thought it was just these people who ate things they shouldn't eat because of their lack of food, and occasional diarrhea was common. ”

"But then we found out that things are not so simple, because there are more and more people getting sick, and Lao Xiao and I are too busy, even if we add the local Langzhong military doctor, we are all powerless." Lou Ying sighed as she spoke.

The more Hu Ye listened, the more wrong he became, it was a hot day, and he was vomiting and diarrhea, and the situation sounded very bad, his heart suddenly tightened, and he asked very strictly, "Mr. Lou, is there a plague in Yizhou?" ”

"Hey, I didn't believe it at first, but more and more people are getting sick, and we can't help but not believe it." Lou Ying said helplessly.

"It seems that Childe knows a lot about this plague, but I don't know if this plague can be saved." Long Yi paced up and asked Hu Ye a little nervously.

Hu Ye looked at Long Yi, and then asked Lou Ying again, "Mr. Lou, you are treating in Yizhou, why did you come to this Longyun Villa again?" Could it be that someone in Longyun Villa was also infected with the plague, and this dragon caught you? ”

"You're wrong about the owner of the Dragon Village." Lou Ying smiled bitterly, and then explained, "After Lao Xiao and I stayed in Yizhou for more than ten days, we found that there were hundreds of people who came to seek medical treatment, and if this continues, the plague will spread." ”

"The magistrate of Yizhou was worried that the matter would expand, so he wanted to kill all these hundreds of sick people, and even the local guards were dispatched. At this time, if it weren't for the appearance of the owner of the Dragon Village, I'm afraid those hundreds of people would not be saved. ”

"Now these people are still living in Longyun Villa, and Lao Xiao and I were also invited to the villa by the owner of Longzhuang to see if we can save their lives. However, Lao Xiao and I had limited medical skills, and in a month, forty or fifty patients died. Now the patient's feelings are very unstable, if it weren't for the repeated reassurance given to them by the owner of the Dragon Village, I'm afraid they would have gotten out of control. Lou Ying said helplessly.

"What about Mr. Xiao? Why did he go back to Jiangnan? ”

"This drought is large-scale, I discussed with Lao Xiao, I am afraid that there will be plagues in other places, so I decided to let Lao Xiao go all the way south to see if there is such a situation in other places. However, judging from the news he sent back, he has not found it along the way, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Lou Ying said.

"At present, it seems that the people infected in Yizhou are basically in my Longyun Villa, so my villa has been watched by several guards. If we can't cure these people and release them, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of guards will attack my mountain villa. Long Yi smiled bitterly, he knew that he must have taken a big risk to rescue these people back to the villa.

But he is this kind of person, his Longyun Villa can grow up step by step in Yizhou, and the support of the people of Yizhou is indispensable, so it is impossible for him to watch hundreds of people being killed by the government.

Hu Ye also heard the helplessness in Long's mouth. I was also a little guilty about my previous thoughts, so I said with a little embarrassment, "The kid offended the owner of the Dragon Village just now, and I ask the owner of the Dragon Village to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, Childe is a man of temperament, how can I blame him. As long as Gongzi can cure these remaining hundreds of people, it will be a great merit, and I will be grateful. Long Yi waved his hand and motioned to Hu Ye not to care.

"Mr. Lou, what is the situation now, how is their condition?" Hu Ye also knows that now is not the time to be hypocritical. It is not a trivial matter for hundreds of people to get the plague, if it is not handled properly, so that the people of the entire mountain villa are infected, I am afraid that the guards of the whole Baoding Mansion will surround Longyun Villa, and it is possible to set fire to the mountain.

"Two months ago, more than 300 people got sick, last month there were forty, this month is only halfway over, and there are already twenty-five deaths, and the situation is getting worse and worse. Old decay is also deeply powerless. I'll invite you to see if you have any ideas. Lou Ying said ashamedly.

For doctors, the greatest pain is to watch their patients be devoured by the disease step by step, and Lou Ying considers himself a generation of famous doctors. He has been practicing medicine in Jiangnan for decades. Now surrounded by the plague, watching the sick people die one by one, his heart is like a knife, so he doesn't think about food all day long. A person who was originally full of red light was dragged into a thin old man alive.

"Mr. Lou, you go and have a good meal first. Look at you are all so thin, if your body collapses, who will save them? Hu Ye looked at Lou Ying, who was not as good as before, and suddenly had respect for this old man in his heart, but seeing that Lou Ying was still a little uneasy, he said, "Mr. Lou, don't worry, since I am here, I naturally have to do my best." ”

Then Hu Ye said to Long Yi, "Master Long, please get a big meal, I've been running around all night, and I'm very hungry, you must know that there is no way to cure a hungry stomach." ”

Long Yi laughed when he heard this, he heard confidence from Hu Ye's tone, it seemed that the more than two hundred people in the villa were saved. So he shouted out of the door, "Come on, prepare a meal, I want to entertain Hu Ye Gongzi well." ”

"Hu Ye, are you really sure?" Lou Ying asked Hu Ye with some disbelief.

"Mr. Lou, you can rest assured that I can borrow my life from the sky, and I can be stumped by a small plague?" In order to reassure Lou Ying, Hu Ye couldn't help but say big things.

The plague is a problem of the century, how can it be solved so easily, the Ming Dynasty did not have advanced medical methods in later generations, and the treatment could only rely on the prescriptions left by the ancestors, so if he wanted to cure more than 200 people, Hu Ye was not sure.

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words." Lou Ying listened to Hu Ye's guarantee, and immediately felt good, and walked out with Long Yi, ready to have a good meal.

Old man Lou is indeed hungry, and he has been worrying about the plague these days, and he only drinks two bowls of gruel a day. Now it's okay, Hu Ye has spoken, even his life can be borrowed from heaven, and it shouldn't be a problem to solve the plague.

So the old man Lou is eating a lot today, there are a bunch of bones in front of him, and he is still holding a pig's trotter in his hand to gnaw. Hu Ye looked at it and put his mind at ease, it seems that this old man is still Lou Ying, and he has not been defeated yet.

"Master Longzhuang, where do those people live, let's go and see." After eating, Hu Ye wiped his mouth and asked Long Yi.

The sooner the plague problem is solved, the sooner I should rush to Nanjing, now there is only one month, if I can't catch up with the autumn season, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang will not let go of themselves.

"They all live in the back mountain, I isolate them, otherwise it won't be good for the people in the village to be infected." Long Yi also stood up, ready to take Hu Ye to the back mountain to have a look.

"The owner of the Dragon Village has to send people to bring food and water every day, but in the past two days, there have been more and more dead people, and they have become a little restless, and the medicine I boiled for them is not much to drink." Lou Ying followed Long Yi's footsteps and explained to Hu Ye.

"Mr. Lou's prescription is based on Sun Simiao's golden prescription?" Hu Ye asked.

"Doctor Sun's prescription only records the disease of typhoid fever, and I don't think this plague is like typhoid fever, so I prescribed the right medicine and made slight changes to the house. But it can only alleviate the condition, but it can't cure it, and the old decay is now doubting the correctness of my prescription, and this time I'm looking for you to take a look. Lou Ying said, took out a prescription from his arms and handed it to Hu Ye.

Hu Ye's head was big when he saw it, he didn't know what the prescription was, and he had only heard of Sun Simiao's theory of typhoid fever. Let him read the prescription, undoubtedly let him read the book of heaven, he only knows how to defend against the plague. Because the later generations were directly vaccinated, few people got the plague.

But Hu Ye couldn't say that he didn't know anything about the prescription, so he had to pretend to be very good at it, and then said to Lou Ying, "Mr. Lou, you don't seem to have a problem with this prescription, and the specific situation will have to go to the back mountain to make a decision." ”

Lou Ying felt that Hu Ye said that there was no problem, then his recipe must be fine, and there must be something wrong elsewhere.

After several people came to the back mountain, they all picked up a towel and covered their faces, obviously very afraid of the plague.

The back mountain of Longyun Mountain Villa is also very large, and there are several large halls, and those people who have contracted the plague live in those large halls.

"Hu Ye, don't you bring a scarf, it's not for fun, it's too late to be infected with the plague." Lou Ying saw Hu Ye throw the towel aside, and said with great concern.

"Mr. Lou, the plague is no big deal for me, even if I want to be infected, I can't be infected." Hu Ye said hehehe, in the future he didn't know how many preventive injections he had, and there was still a scar on his right arm now, and the plague naturally had no effect on him.

Lou Ying and Long Yi are now even more convinced that they can cure this plague, otherwise who would dare to be so bold and run into the plague crowd without any defensive measures?

"Master Longzhuang, you let us go down the mountain, even if we are not saved, let us die in our own home." As soon as a few people walked into the main hall, a thin patient stepped forward and said to Long Yi with tears in his eyes. (To be continued......)
