Bu Tong was noncommittal.

The group staggered, arrived at the Lingyin Temple at noon, and finally could get out of the car and stretch their waists, Butong stepped on the soft snow outside the temple, exhaled a breath of white air, and looked up at the somewhat dilapidated temple gate,

"How good life is, everything is only half-smooth. It's strange that this couplet was already there. ”

Parallel time and space? Obviously, this dynasty has never been seen in history, but this Lingyin Temple ...... It seems that the appearance seen later has begun to take shape.

Butong was confused, could it be that this was actually a branch of ancient times, and was later eaten by history books?

"What's strange?" A person came behind him, and heard Bu Tong's muttering and asked curiously, "Let's rest here for the time being, we can arrive in the evening, Ah Tong is tired?" ”

Everyone asked for a salute, and Bu Tong turned around and gave a blessing.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Four Princes, Tong'er just looked at the inscription at the entrance of the temple, and was quite touched, and it was just sad for a while."

Mu Hesheng smiled and motioned for Butong to enter the door,

"Although Lingyin Temple is in the deep mountains, it is not as good as those famous temples, but it has a lot of aura, if Ah Tong waits for a while, he can go to the pillar incense."

Bu Tong politely let Mu Hesheng go first, bowed his head and chuckled,

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to believe in this, I thought that most of the people who believe in gods and like to worship gods on weekdays are women."

Even if the fourth prince is in the mountains and forests, walking on this moss-covered stone road, he is still personable and upright, with a gentle smile and not frivolous, and he is not angry when he is ridiculed, but explains carefully,

"It's not that I believe in gods, my wife has traveled all over the famous temples in order to ask for a child, and I have heard about it."

Bu Tong looked at Mu Hesheng's gentle face, "Your Royal Highness is benevolent and benevolent, loves the people like a son, God will never treat you badly, and Madame will definitely be able to get what she wants." ”

Infertility? In the future, she can find a few home remedies for her to try.

Bu Tong thought about it like this, followed into the temple, and finally had a place to stay, and he was dizzy all the time sitting in the carriage.

The abbot learned that this group of nobles was going to Dongyi City to treat the pox epidemic, so he sent someone to clean up the wing room overnight and vacate the main hall for rest.

Everyone gathered in the main hall, and the elderly abbot personally arranged for the little novice to pour tea and water for everyone.

"Dongyi City is now a purgatory on earth, refugees are fleeing in all directions, people from all over the world are not able to take refuge, Amitabha, Buddha blesses all beings, and you really appear to go to Zhenji."

The group sat down in the Buddha hall and only felt a lot of pressure, Mu Hesheng smiled and clasped his hands together at the host, "Thank you abbot, the heir of the heavenly family, your duty." ”

Butong drank a sip of tea and looked up at the abbot in surprise,

"The tea leaves in the temple are really excellent."

This abrupt sentence was a bit out of place, and everyone was embarrassed, only Tang Xuanlin also picked up the tea cup and tasted it, and then echoed,

"What Miss Bu said is that it is indeed good tea."

The two quickly exchanged glances, Tang Xuanlin turned his head to look at the abbot,

"Abbot, may I ask how the pox epidemic in Dongyi City has developed now? You've heard it. ”

The abbot sighed softly, "It is said that more than half of the infection is unspeakably painful. ”

Bu Tong smiled, put down the teacup and made a crisp crashing sound, and smiled in surprise,

"Listen to this voice, it is Yuezhou celadon, it is rumored that Yuezhou celadon is produced, the texture is as delicate as glass, the price can be worth ten gold, I am the first time to use it, this tea can be eaten well."

Chang'an and Chun Tao looked embarrassed and quietly bowed their heads behind Bu Tong, but Mu Hesheng's eyes slowly fell on the unused tea cup on his side, frowning.

Shi Qing stood behind Mu Hesheng and couldn't help but speak, "Miss Bu, just say a few words." ”

Bu Tong ignored it completely, but looked at the abbot with a different look inch by inch,

"The abbot is well-informed, Lingyin Temple is nearly twenty miles away from Dongyi City, and the temple people have never gone out, how about Dongyi City, you are so clear."

Everyone's eyes are clear, and in a temple that is obviously dilapidated and the incense is not very prosperous, but the excellent tea utensils are used to make excellent tea, which has to cause people to be puzzled.

Tang Xuanlin got up and instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the cold words seemed to come out of hell and were cold and gloomy.

"What other explanation does the abbot have?"

There has never been such a full of anger, like a rakshasa figure set foot in the pure place of Buddhism, several small novices retreated in fear, and the abbot closed his eyes and repeated "Amitabha".

Bu Tong looked at Mu Hesheng's eyes, and continued to drink tea on the ground.

"I'm afraid that some people are worried that we are afraid of the tragedy of Dongyi City, so let's stop here. I watched the Lingyin Temple wither, only the abbot and these little novices, young and middle-aged people are very few, you can imagine the abbot support, it is not easy. ”

The abbot finally lowered his head, "The female benefactor is kind and good-hearted, Amitabha." ”

Tang Xuanlin approached, "Fourth Highness, Miss Bu, it seems that the situation in Dongyi City is not optimistic." ”

The camps are like that, let alone the people who can't escape?

After a short rest, the group continued to hurry away, and the abbot chased after him from behind, and instructed Xiao Shami to hand over two bags of dry food to Butong,

"Don't neglect to save yourself, don't worry about it."

Bu Tong thought, there is no food reserve in Dongyi City for the refugees to eat, and these two bags of dry food are only enough to solve the urgent need.

"Thank you, abbot, when we return to Beijing, I will definitely send someone to help you renovate the Lingyin Temple."

……

Dongyi City was getting closer and closer, Bu Tong was groggy all the way to the back before he woke up, looking at Chixia outside the window in a daze, Shi Qingce immediately stepped forward, "Miss Bu, my Royal Highness said that I want Miss to lead a team of people to be stationed outside the city." ”

Bu Tong tilted his head in a daze, "Why?" ”

Shi Qing pursed her mouth, "Your Highness Gu Nian, I don't know what the scene is in the city, Miss Bu is delicate and expensive, and now she has been named the county lord's mother, it would be bad if there was a mistake." ”

Bu Tong sighed, "Shi Qing, what do you want me to say about you, just like you, sooner or later you will have to offend everyone for Your Royal Highness." Wouldn't it be nice to say it well? ”

Shi Qing knew that he was speechless, so he had to touch his nose and quibble, "Miss Bu naturally knows that my Royal Highness is for the good of Miss." ”

Bu Tong lazily lay by the window, "Shi Qing, why did you say that Your Majesty sent me a woman to Dongyi City with His Royal Highness?" ”

Shi Qing replied, "Because Miss knows how to treat pox plague." ”

Bu Tong looked at Shi Qing, who was stunned for a moment after saying this, "Yes, I know how to treat the pox epidemic, if I live outside the city, who will treat it?" ”

Shi Qing was dumbfounded.

Bu Tong continued to ask him, "Who will protect everyone from being infected?" ”

Shi Qing finally lowered his head and saluted Butong, "The villain will go and talk back." ”

Bu Tong continued to lie there to watch the sunset, Chang'an had been accompanying him, so he couldn't help but sigh,

"Miss understands the righteousness so well, the adults must be very pleased."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, or the brocade guard who sent things, or the restrained and cautious appearance, handed over a bag of things,

"Miss Bu, my lord sent a bag of sugar cakes to Miss Chun Tao, and when I enter the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find something to eat, so let the girl pad her stomach first."

Bu Tong looked back at the spring peach who was still "sleeping", and stretched out his hand to take it,

"Thank you, Master Tang, Chun Tao is still asleep, I'll give it to her later."

The man quickly retreated, Bu Tong was about to reply to the praise from Chang'an, but found that Chang'an's face was a little bad, as if he was displeased, worried that he mistakenly thought that he was using the brocade guard to go too close, Bu Tong didn't dare to say anything, hurriedly returned to the car and stayed quietly, about two pillars of incense time, Tang Xuanlin's voice suddenly came from the window,

"I'm about to enter the city, take precautions."

Then there was a sound of a blade unsheathed, and Butong opened the curtain,

"Lady Tang."

Tang Xuanlin approached the window,

"Miss Bu's peace of mind is that although I don't know what the situation is in the city, I will never let everyone have any accidents."

Butong nodded,

"My lord, don't guard me here, let's go and protect His Royal Highness the Four Princes."

Tang Xuanlin looked around cautiously, "The Fourth Highness has a Vermilion Bird guard by his side, and the special minister has come down to guard the young lady." ”

The city gate was close at hand, but it was closed, Tang Xuanlin turned his head slightly, and someone stepped forward to call the door,

"We are His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince from Kyoto City! His Majesty personally ordered to come to cure the pox plague! Where is Dongyi County? Open the door now! ”

Butong stretched out his hand and patted the carriage,

"Master Tang, let's bring masks."

When I returned home this time, I learned that Mrs. Qi took the whole family and the many houses in Kyoto City to make tens of thousands, and now they are full of three carts and all brought out, and the protection must be in place.

"Two floors per person."

Tang Xuanlin turned around and ordered to go down when he heard this, and Bu Tong turned around and brought one to Chun Tao in his sleep.

The little brother who called the door shouted four or five times in a row, and there was silence in Dongyi City, and there was no answer.

Tang Xuanlin squinted slightly, "Knock on the door." ”

The brocade guards didn't know where to find a piece of wood in an instant, reinforced it with a rope and slammed into the city gate at once, and the dull sound seemed to crash into their hearts, making people panic and nervous.

A tense atmosphere called "death" slowly spreads.

With a heavy "squeak", the door was knocked open a gap, and the brocade guards pushed it open, but they were pushed back by a foul smell.

Even if he didn't get close, Bu Tong could roughly think of what the humanoids on the ground were.

In ancient times, when medical and health conditions were extremely backward, pox plague, an infectious disease that was obviously not dangerous, often had the lethality to slaughter cities.

The ground at the city gate is full of corpses, it seems that some people who want to get out of the city, because the city gate is blocked, they finally died hopelessly there, the wall is full of mottled notices, posted layer after layer, a group of people slowly march inside, the brocade guard on the road silently dragged the corpse in the middle of the road aside, the street was messy and depressed, Butong lifted the curtain, Tang Xuanlin reached out to press,

"Miss Bu, don't look at it."

Bu Tong looked at the notice posted on the city wall, "What is that?" ”

Tang Xuanlin went to peel off a clean sheet and stuffed it into the car, quite emotional,

"The content is almost the same, Dongyi County, but in fact, he understands the righteousness."

Bu Tong unfolded the piece of paper,

"Dongyi subjects, I am born safe and happy, how did I expect the sky to fall into the disaster, now Dongyi is not guaranteed, crying blood and tears, in order to protect the surrounding cities, I also hope that all the people will stop going out of the city, stay in the city, even if the city is destroyed, it can also protect thousands of innocents."

The broken iron lock fell on the side, which shows that this county seat, in order to prevent the refugees from running out and infecting more people, resolutely locked the city gate and locked the entire Dongyi City......

It's a dead city.

"We should have come earlier," there seemed to be a medical officer behind him who got out of the car, and cried bitterly when he saw the sight of corpses everywhere, Bu Tong carefully put away the notice, lifted the curtain of the carriage and pushed away the coachman who was vomiting,

"It's too slow to move forward like this, abandon the car and dismount, leave a few people to take care of it, and let's go to Dongyi Mansion."
