Because of the drought, how many people dragged their families to the places with disaster relief porridge sites, and Meixian County was among them.

In less than a month, there were many more dilapidated dwellings not far from the county seat, mostly straw huts made of wood, and worse, only a roll of bedding, on which five or six people slept.

So many people gather together, and if they don't clean their bodies and hygiene for a long time, the flies and insects that they provoke gather here, "buzzing" and wandering.

In a straw hut, a woman was lying on a broken straw mat on the ground, her cheeks were red and she was delirious, and it was a very hot day, but she shivered from time to time, as if it was very cold.

With a "brush", the straw curtain at the door was lifted by a thin child of six or seven years old, and he was seen holding a wooden bowl with a missing mouth, and walked to the woman's side.

put the bowl down, shook the woman's body, and the immature voice sounded: "Mother, mother, porridge, a bowl full of very thick porridge, mother, mother, open your eyes and take a look?" ”

She called for a long time, but the woman didn't react at all, the child sat on the ground, his eyes quickly reddened, and he called again: "Mother, mother, wake up, mother, wake up, mother, wake up?" ”

"Woo woo, mother, mother, don't leave me alone, mother.... Woo woo woo .... Mother, wake up...."

The cries of children immediately attracted the men patrolling the neighborhood.

I saw a man dressed in errand clothes coming over, lifted the curtain, didn't come in, pinched his nose and glanced in a few times, and muttered: "Another one died?" ”

With a disgusted face, he waved his hand at a few men in ordinary clothes and patches, and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you drag people away quickly?" ”

"Okay, okay." Several men hurriedly responded, lifted the curtain and bowed in, dragged the woman out and went out.

"Wow.... My mother is not dead! My mother is not dead! Let go! Let go! My mother is so hungry, as long as she drinks porridge, she can wake up! ”

The child clung to his mother's thigh with all his might, resisting the man's strength, and cried out on his lips.

A man hesitated, stretched out his hand to probe the woman's snort, turned his head and cautiously said to the messenger at the door, "My lord, this lady is still angry." ”

There was a hint of boredom on the officer's face: "It won't be long before I run out of gas!" Sooner or later, it's going to be a death, why don't you drag her away for me? ”

Several men in the house glanced at each other, they were all ordinary people in the county, and they would follow the errand to help, just to do dirty work and earn hard money.

For a while, no one in the house answered, only the cries of children were still ringing.

The messenger's face darkened, and he opened his mouth to scold, but he heard a serious question behind him: "What are you doing here?" ”

This sound? It seems to be.... The thought flashed through his mind, and the messenger didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he turned around and bowed respectfully.

Carefully reported: "My lord, this woman is dying soon, and the little one will drag her away!" ”

Mu Ming, who was standing opposite, glanced at the master beside him, and saw that he didn't mean to make a sound, so he could only say again: "Soon?" That is, it has not been breathed yet? Are you going to be reckless about human life? ”

The messenger's face showed a trace of bitterness: "My lord, it's not that the small ones don't care about human life, it's really the county magistrate who gave an order, and more and more people gathered outside the city." ”

"In the past few days, a lot of people have been sick, and if they are not dealt with in time, I am afraid that there will be trouble."

Mu Qingfeng frowned slightly, and asked, "Many people are sick?" Have you asked Lang Zhong to come and see it? ”

The bitterness on the officer's face was even more, and his bowed waist did not straighten up: "My lord, the weather has been hot recently, and it has not rained for many months. ”

"It's not just people who are sick outside the city, but there are also many people in the city who are sick, and Lang Zhong in the city doesn't stop every day, where can he get out of the city?"

Besides, they can't afford to pay any money.

Of course, the rest of the sentence, he didn't say it with interest.

Mu Ming saw that his master's expression was cold, and he opened his mouth and scolded the messenger: "Bold! Is that how you do things? ”

"Isn't this a disregard for human life? Still stunned, why don't you go and ask Lang Zhong to come and see? ”

"Yes, yes!" The messenger did not dare to disobey the order, so after answering the sound, he turned around and ran towards the city.

Mu Ming here raised his eyes to look at the young man, hesitated and asked, "Lang Jun is worried that something is wrong?" ”

Mu Qingfeng's gaze swept over the people around him who were not in good spirits: "The weather is hot, and it hasn't rained for a long time, I'm worried about ....."

What he was worried about, he didn't say.

But Mu Ming immediately understood what he meant, he was not an uninformed person, and he had been forced to read a lot of books by a teenager, so he naturally knew that the catastrophe was accompanied by the epidemic.

A touch of melancholy also appeared on his face: "If that's the case, how can it be good?" ”

It's good that those Lang Zhong can take care of the people in the city, but there are so many people outside the city, where can they take care of them?

After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, if there is really an epidemic here, how can you be in danger with your precious body?" Let's hurry back to the city, shall we? ”

Mu Qingfeng waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't come close, just wait here and see what Lang Zhong says." ”

A messenger came out, and a man about fifty years old was soon invited.

saw that before this Langzhong entered the grass hut, he first took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, tied it behind his ear, covered his nose and lips, and barely did some protection, and then walked in reluctantly.

If he could, he, an elderly man, really didn't want to come over, but there was no way, who made him unlucky, he happened to be found by the messenger, so he could only take on this drudgery.

Entering the straw shed, Lang Zhong's eyes swept over the state of the woman on the straw mat, his expression was immediately tight, and he took out another handkerchief from the cuff and put it on the woman's arm, and then began to call the pulse.

After more than ten breaths, Lang Zhong was sweating profusely, and walked out of the grass shed with a panicked face, came to Mu Qingfeng, bowed his waist and reported: "Lord Hui, this woman has an epidemic. ”

"At most, I can hold on for two more days, but if I don't have good medical skills, I really can't treat her."

Mu Qingfeng frowned lightly when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a while, and Lang Zhong, who was frightened by this attitude, became more and more uneasy, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down in strings.

After a few breaths, the young man's cold and steady voice sounded: "This woman doesn't say for the time being, there are many people outside the city, do you have a way to curb the epidemic?" ”

Lang Zhong first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and thought for several breaths.

Cai said with an embarrassed face: "This ..... It's really difficult for me to do it alone, and I still need to discuss it with other Langzhong in the city before it's possible! ”

When Mu Qingfeng heard this, he immediately rushed to the other side and ordered: "Gather Lang Zhong, who is skilled in medicine in the city, to discuss this matter together!" ”
