Guo Shixiong has heard of this son-in-law of the King of Huainan, it seems that he bought it back when he bought someone in the palace of Huainan!

That is, it turned out to be a slave!

Later, because he was handsome, he was favored by the county lord, and he was clever, so he became the first military general next to King Huainan.

However, he felt familiar, not because he had seen him many years ago, but because he felt who he looked like.

Guo Shixiong couldn't think of it for a while, and besides, there are many people in the world who look alike!

In the same barracks, there are also soldiers who look alike, so there is nothing strange about it.

Guo Shixiong retracted his thoughts and walked in behind King Huainan.

This time, he brought grain over and prepared to escort the county lord of Huai'an into Beijing.

The King of Huainan and General Guo Lao had already discussed in private, and the lord of Huai'an County would marry Guo Mingjun. The two families are related.

But because it was a critical moment to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion on the occasion, this was done privately in advance, and then a grand wedding was held for them.

~

Wang Xiao went to the granary to inspect it, and then told the soldiers to store the grain and medicinal herbs.

He stood here for a moment, then walked to the recruit's camp.

This group of recruits was recruited only today.

They came in with a high fever and coughing, thinking they were infected with the plague and dying.

Ants are still stealing life, let alone people?!

So these people thought that they really had the "plague" and were persuaded that the military service could treat the plague for free, so they all ran in and became soldiers!

Now these people's names have been crossed out of the register, and they are among those who died in the plague.

These death lists will be reported to the imperial court.

Wang Xiao walked into a line and watched everyone receive the decoction with an expressionless face.

"General, is it really good to drink these decoctions? I'm coughing to death! My head hurts too! "Someone asked the soldiers who distributed the decoction.

"Of course, the medicine is guaranteed to cure the disease! This is a prescription from the Valley of the Divine Doctor! King Huainan spent a lot of money to prepare the elixir for everyone! Because the imperial court did not have any silver to allocate to the people of Huainan Mansion, the king of Huainan couldn't bear to watch everyone lose their lives like this, so he could only pay the money himself! I don't know when it's a head?! ”

"King Huainan really loves the people like a son!"

"Fortunately, there is King Huainan, otherwise we would have been arrested and burned to death! I heard that the imperial court has sent people down to catch the plague everywhere, and they plan to lock them up in a village and burn them all to death! ”

.......

There was a lot of talking.

At this time, it happened to be the turn of a middle-aged man with a beard and a little gray hair.

The middle-aged man covered his mouth and nose with one hand and coughed incessantly, and he reached out to take the bowl of soup handed over by the soldier.

The middle-aged man's clothes were patched and short, and when he reached out, he revealed a scar on his arm.

Wang Xiao saw the birthmark's pupils shrink.

He glanced at the man, remembering his look.

Then he turned around and walked to the soldiers who had already received the decoction medicine and the county lord of Hui'an.

Wang Xiao's lips pursed slightly, and his steps were a little heavier than before.

Thunder took the potion, and like everyone else, he held the potion, drinking it and walking aside.

Then I found a place with a lot of people and sat down.

Here is a man talking about how their village began, and how the whole village was infected with the plague.

It's very eloquent.

"In our village, there was a man who caught a few fish in the river, and he went into the city to sell the fish, and when he came back, he got up the next day with a fever and cough, and then the whole family had a fever and cough! Then his neighbors had a fever and cough in less than four days! Our whole village has a fever and cough! Oh my God! It's really scary! I've been burning it for three days and three nights, and I don't have any money to look at. In the pharmacy, there is no medicine to grab! I thought I was going to die! Thankfully, there is no end to it! Finally drank the decoction! ”

"Our village too! It's because somebody was working in the city and came back, and when he came back, he kept coughing, and then the next day he ......."

......

Everyone, you and I talk about what is going on in your village, and the whole village is infected with the plague.

Lei Ting listened quietly, and in order to get acquainted with everyone, he also interjected: "I came back from the completion of the work in the neighboring county, lived in the city for a day, and woke up the next day with a cough and fever!" I haven't even returned to my house! I don't know what happened to our village?! If I had known, I wouldn't have come back! Anyway, there was no one at home when I went back. Originally, I was thinking that the fallen leaves would return to my roots, and I had to come back to marry a lady. I didn't expect to be infected with the plague, and I don't know if I will lose my life! What bad luck! ”

"Brother, you haven't married a wife at such an old age?" Someone was surprised.

"It's not because we were poor before, our village is also very poor, and no one wants to marry!"

"What village are you?"

"Yes, brother, what's your name, and which village are you from? Or I'll introduce you to my daughter-in-law. ”

……

A couple of people asked.

"My name is Wang Dazhuang, from Dashi Village, because there are often big stones falling on the mountains in the village, so it is called Dashi Village! The village is relatively small, and it is in the mountains, I don't know if you have heard of it? Out of the corner of his eye, Lei Ting saw Wang Xiao walking towards them, and Lei Ting specially told him.

He always felt that the look that Wang Xiao had just looked at him was unusual.

It shouldn't be so unlucky, as soon as you come in, you will be recognized by the people of King Huainan!

Thunder thought to himself.

However, his current identity, the master has already arranged it, and there is absolutely no flaw to find out!

"Oishi Village?! I've been! There are only a few families in the whole village! It's all thatched huts! Moreover, there are often falling rocks on the mountain road that kill people, so few people in the village come out, and few people go in! No wonder you can't marry a daughter-in-law! ”

....

Wang Xiao happened to hear their conversation when he passed by, and wrote down Dashi Village and Wang Dazhuang in his heart, planning to check it out and pay attention to this person.

Wang Xiao felt that he didn't recognize the wrong person!

Capital

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming as scheduled.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival.

In this era, May is the month of evil, and it is necessary to ward off evil spirits and defilement.

The people are accustomed to racing dragon boats, eating zongzi, wearing sachets, and magnolia pots, so as to get rid of all evil and filthy spirits.

In addition to these, on this day, every household of the folk will put calamus and mugwort on the door, and the married daughter will also give a pu fan to her parents.

And among these customs, dragon boat racing is the grandest!

The imperial court will hold dragon boat races, and various villages of the people will also hold dragon boat races.

Legend has it that if the river races a dragon boat on the day of the Duanyang Festival, it can drive away the unclean things in the river.

This year, the plague is raging, and there are natural disasters in both the north and the south.

The floods in the south have passed, but many food has been drowned, and many people's houses have been washed away, causing heavy casualties.

But it is being rebuilt, and it can be regarded as some relief.
