Chapter 15: The Plague (3)

The man in the dark clothes looked at the Central Plains region, and countless similar cases had occurred in various parts of Great Xia, saying that it was "innumerable", because the 100,000 people counted by the government were not accurate enough, and they were few.

Spread like a lotus flower. One to ten, ten to hundred.

In some of the clearings of the city, there were dead rats that no one cleaned up, spitting blood from their mouths. In some cities, suspected patients and corpses are piled up in caves. Some cities have built high walls to block diseases outside the walls. And Juyi City is an abandoned city.

The inside of Juyi City should be the same as the outside, with rotting corpses, rotting and damp beds, and people who are still breathing at the door. Maybe Juyi City is safer than outside?

According to Baidu, Juyi City began to cleanse its body fluids. It's like a flood of the earth that loads houses, washing away everything.

Now the plague is even more severe.

Ten thousand people are buried in one day, and 10,000 dead are twice the size of a medium-sized city. They were picked up by strong men from thick peach trees to mass graves, stacked in piles, lit, and turned into wisps of green smoke.

The strong man wore a mask made by Juyi City and watched the exuberant fire in silence.

I don't know if there are familiar faces of strong men on these nameless corpses. But their silence and silence are the utmost respect for the dead.

It turned out that there was also a mass grave of crows and cuckoos, and after one fire after another, it became a lonely graveyard. It is now used as a large and safe open space for the incineration of the dead.

Among the ashes, there are always raised pebbles that cannot be burned, but unfortunately no child dares to pick them up and play with them anymore.

The woman in the pharmacy hadn't been out for two days, and she was kept alive by three baked cakes a day and a pot of water. Nantong was sent to the infected area by her.

She is now experiencing symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, severely painful pimples on her body, and bloody blisters on her skin. Chills, high fever, late stage!

But the prescription just needs to try the last three combinations again, and she must have one that will work, great.

Xiao Junwu is really good to her! It is estimated that it was the water scooped up by the mouse, Nantong had not yet become ill, but she was already terminally ill on the third day.

The old lady was guarding the door, and when she heard a bang, she immediately opened the door. The confident and beautiful woman was gone, her face was blistering with blood and pus, her body was curled up in a ball, and her breathing was rapid, as if she was in great pain.

"I beg you, kill me, kill me." She begged frantically but didn't get close to Imperial Doctor Zhao, she couldn't infect him.

"Last night, you said you had to try five more prescriptions, you told me, I'll decoct the medicine."

Baidu tried her best to endure this illness, she had already refined something, and now she only had to try three more prescriptions. She wrote down the method on paper and placed it on the most conspicuous table, and she could keep her heart as calm as water and die peacefully.

On a dark purple carved camphor chair sat a woman, dressed in splendid clothes, but very haggard. She held the girl's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the girl on the bed, kind and gentle.

The woman's fingers on the bed moved slightly, opening her fan-like eyelashes.

"Wu Xin? No Xin, no Xin woke up. ”

"Who are you?" She rubbed her eyes, unable to believe her eyes.

The woman smiled, tears welling up in her own eyes. She wiped away the girl's tears, "Silly girl, don't you recognize your mother?" ”

"Mom. I miss you. She threw herself into the woman's arms, "I had a dream in which there was no you, your father, and no brother. There's also a very bad, very bad man out there. ”

"What's wrong? My silly girl cries when she wakes up. A man in a brown suit walked in and hugged the mother and daughter who were crying.

"Dad, Mom, why do you all wear ancient costumes? Is Hanfu Festival here? How long have I been asleep?"

The woman regained her energy and asked a series of questions like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate. When she was no longer confused, she looked around, this is not a hospital, antique.

"Dad? Mother? Baidu looked at them suspiciously. Xiao Junwu didn't know when he stood behind them, he raised his spear and stabbed at them. Mom and Dad's faces blurred in her vision, gradually dissipating into smoke.

"Mom, Dad." She sat up in shock and returned to modern times. The smell of fire water made her miss it so much. Her parents weren't with her in the ward, she got out of bed and looked into the hallway, where there was no one.

When she looked back, Xiao Junwu was sitting in her hospital room. He stared at him with his dead fish eyes half-open, as if he was entangled in a poisonous snake, and it was difficult to breathe.

She tried to escape, but he blocked the door, his tall figure blocking the light outside the door, and the room was dark. He suddenly kissed her, and she didn't dare move. He plunged a knife into her body, blood like a swimming column.

"Help!"

Lightning opened his eyes.

"Sister Mo is awake, Imperial Doctor Zhao, Sister Mo is awake." Nan Tong ran out cheering to spread the word about this good deed.

Baidu can't move now, her whole body is full of needles, it's the old lady's acupuncture! It's terrible, I actually had a dream within a dream, and it was all related to Xiao Junwu.

The old lady faltered, but was very happy.

"Sake girl, you're awake. You've succeeded, and the prescription is right. I have already sent it to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

"How long did I sleep?"

"Seven hours. I was worried that the girl would never wake up again, so I stimulated the girl's pain point with a silver needle, and now the girl is awake. The girl can sleep a little longer, I've already sent the letter. If we are lucky, the king of Chu will take us out today. ”

Sake Baidu does not believe Xiao Junwu, she was killed twice by him in her dreams.

"Imperial Doctor Zhao, have you cooked all the medicines? Did it send it to people in the city? The old lady took the silver needle off, and she rubbed her temples.

"It's a time to drink with the girl." He boiled three pots in total, and each patient drank three bowls. The decoction is not thin and has a strong taste.

"That's good." She lay down and continued to squint.

"Rest girl! Nantong and I won't bother. The Imperial Physician pulled Nantong, who was looking at her deeply, out.

This city can finally rest for a while.

In a tent thirty miles away in front of the city of Juyi,

"What did you do?" A seven- or eight-year-old child who looked like Xiao Junwu scolded Xiao Junwu, and tears were forced to roll in the frame.

"What does it have to do with you?" The half-widened man replied boredly.

"If something happens to Aunt Du, I won't let you go." The child glared at him viciously, as if he had a deep hatred.

The man chuckled and mocked.

The bucket of water had not yet been emptied, and one was afraid of polluting the river and land, and the other was worried that the animals underground would carry the disease. The child ran to the bucket and pricked it straight to the headache.

The man was so angry that he lifted him up and threw him out for a long time.

"Xiao Shenzhi, half of your life is given by me."

The boy wiped the liquid from his mouth, "You killed my mother, and that half life would have been worth your life." Now my life is my own. ”

"As stubborn as your mother. Come and send the son to Juyi City. If you want to see that woman, go and see her, if she's not dead. His tone was as cold as his thin lips.

He stood there giving orders, but no one moved. The prince and the prince often quarrel like this, but this time they are really angry. The prince is the only one left by the princess with commemorative significance, and the prince said that the prince is his shame, but the prince always loves to watch the prince fall asleep, and likes to pick thorns when the little prince is practicing martial arts. The father and son had a dispute, but they were also happy.

Xiao Shenzhi walked towards Juyi City by himself.

"If you dare to go in, don't come out, and if you dare to come out, I'll pluck your mother's grave." Xiao Junwu threatened him, "In the grave of the lonely mountain." ”

"Whatever." He's no longer a kid and he's still intimidating him with these.

"Xiao Shenzhi, your wings are stiff, aren't they?" He copied a thick wooden stick, Xiao Shenzhi did not dodge, but Xiao Junwu knelt down for the child.

It's not that he is willing to kneel, it's the blind man in Gushan who tricks him. As long as he had the idea of stopping Xiao Shenzhi from doing something, he would be biting like a bug all over his body.

At the beginning, the blind man intercepted Le Yihan's body, and he took advantage of the fact that he went to the imperial court to stabilize his power, attacked the palace, injured the secret guards around Shenzhi, and abducted Shenzhi. He tracked down for two years before he found out that the blind man was hiding in the lonely mountain, and he raised Shenzhi and the beast together. When he first saw Shenzhi, Shenzhi asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Your father."

"My father has already buried my mother, who are you? How dare you lie about my father? "Shenzhi unleashed a pack of wolves to attack him.

He stunned Shen Zhi, but was chased by the beasts of the lonely mountain and ran all over the mountain, this kid has leadership skills.

The lion and tiger roared, attracting blind people who went down the mountain to exchange food.

"You killed his mother, and you still want to be his father, are you worthy?" The blind man beckoned his sword to his neck.

Xiao Shenzhi looked at this father curiously, he did look a little similar. But if you want to be precise, it's a small version of Xiao Junwu.

"You let our father and son separate for two years, is this your repayment to Le Yihan?"

None of them answered each other's questions. The blind man's skills are very high, and after giving him Gu, he let him take Shenzhi away.

Xiao Shenzhi knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, "Thank you, father, Concubine Zhang for her nurturing grace over the years." But Shen Zhi has found his mother, and he no longer needs to send someone to the fence. ”

Xiao Junwu's hands trembled, and his body stiffened, "You said that you are under the fence?" ”

"Shen Zhi knows that the master has entrusted Shen Zhi to his father Concubine Zhang for five years. I've bothered you all these years. ”

Xiao Junwu had lost his composure, his phoenix eyes were completely opened, and his whole body trembled.

"Xiao Shenzhi, I actually raised a white-eyed wolf over the years."

Xiao Shenzhi no longer refutated, he entered the city and did not look back. There was the one who gave him the persimmon inside, and he was going to find her.

The city is no longer desolate, the people here are cleaning and burning the streets of the houses, they are not like the patients they see outside the city, they are more energetic.

Sake Baidu can't sleep, and once he closes his eyes, there will be a scene where Xiao Junwu kills himself. Imperial Doctor Zhang said to let her rest well, and leave the cleaning and cleaning to them. She was busy, lying on the tree and eating mung bean cakes. A child was taken to her small house by Imperial Physician Zhang.
