Chapter 42: Healing (I)
As the night slowly shrouded, the people in Kyoto City went out with all kinds of delicate river lanterns, and Bu Tong put on a thick cloak and carried his own crooked river lantern out in the breeze.
In the city of Kyoto, the lights are bright, Bu Tong walks on the street, here to see the lantern fans, there to see the sachet small things, it took a long time to get to the side of the Qifeng Bridge, the young lady in white clothes and pink skirts are almost full, Bu Tong is looking for a different color.
Tang Xuanlin, for some reason, has never worn white clothes, all dark dark pattern clothes, if the color is dark today, I am afraid it will be more difficult to find the dark color of the strong clothes.
"Tong'er," a familiar voice sounded on the side, Bu Tong turned his head in surprise, only to see that Tang Xuanlin was also wearing a warm white wide-sleeved robe, untied his perennial hair, and only tied up a small half with a jade crown.
It's just that there is a sachet-like accessory with rough workmanship around the waist, which looks a little abrupt.
This kind of disgust only lasted for a moment, and Bu Tong seemed to recall, I'm afraid this is the one he made for Tang Xuanlin before?
"Xuanlin!" Bu Tong approached with a smile, "You are very different today. ”
Tang Xuanlin gained a lot of attention under this exclamation, and the bold eyes of the little girls on the side, suddenly had some rare embarrassment, pulled Butong and walked down,
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."
Qifeng Bridge was crowded with people, Tang Xuanlin pulled Butong, bypassed the crowd and the riverbank, and found a hidden stone path.
"Tong'er, watch your step."
Bu Tong looked at the black pressure under the path, "Xuanlin, are we going to go under the bridge?" ”
Tang Xuanlin said "um", and his powerful big hand led Bu Tong down step by step, until he stepped on the sand under his feet, and then he suddenly felt enlightened.
Under the Qifeng Bridge, it should have been trimmed, clean and beautiful, the reeds beside the river bank were also cut neatly, there was not a single weed and fallen leaves, the sand was clean, it was soft and fluffy to step on, and even the best viewing position, and put two stones of appropriate size, Bu Tong was surprised,
"There is such a cave, Xuanlin has a heart."
There was already a river lamp floating in the river, and Butong happily took out his own,
"Xuanlin, let's make a wish."
Tang Xuanlin took out the fire fold to light the river lantern, "Okay." ”
The flickering candlelight illuminated the faces of the two people, and the noise of people overhead, but now it was a quiet and peaceful world on the other side.
This feeling is not bad.
The river lantern was gently placed in the water, and Bu Tong hurriedly clasped his hands together, "May the world be peaceful, the family house be harmonious, and the future will go well." ”
Tang Xuanlin clasped his hands together and did not make a sound.
The river lantern slowly floated away, and Butong's line of sight followed away little by little.
"Xuanlin, what wish did you make?"
Tang Xuanlin smiled, "I won't tell you." ”
It's rare to have a hint of arrogance, Bu Tong pouted, "It's not fair, you listened to my wishes, but you didn't tell me yours." ”
Tang Xuanlin pulled her to sit on the stone on the shore, the yellow reeds around her were "booming", the people above her were noisy, and the laughter was endless, thinking of the tragic appearance after the slaughter of the city in the last life, Bu Tong couldn't help but sigh,
"Peace and prosperity are really more important than anything else."
Tang Xuanlin held her hand and slowly tightened it, and the voice came word by word,
"In this peaceful and prosperous world, I will definitely do everything I can to defend it for you."
Large snowflakes finally began to fall from the dark sky, and the crowd exclaimed, and Butong raised his head, "It's snowing." ”
The river is almost full of river lights, but it reflects the land along the river, Tang Xuanlin under the lights, his eyes are clear, his face is like a fairy, Butong is in a trance, and the ghost makes him lean over the thin lips.
Tang Xuanlin was a little surprised, but he insisted on staying where he was and did not move, and when he was about to touch him, a shout suddenly came out from the crowd on the riverbank,
"Epidemic people, epidemic people are going to the city!"
There was an uproar.
"What?" Bu Tong bounced away, "The epidemic people have entered the city?" How is it possible, Yun Fang clearly took people out to settle down! ”
Tang Xuanlin got up and walked to the shore with Butong,
"It's probably because some time ago, the suppression of Kyoto Prefecture Yin was too much, which caused public anger, you go back to the house, I will take Jinyiwei to have a look."
As he spoke, he called out, "Suzaku." ”
A black man appeared, "Overseer." ”
Tang Xuanlin carefully helped Bu Tong to walk back, "What's wrong?" ”
Suzaku's face was hidden under the huge hood and could not be seen at all, only a voice came out, "The plague people gathered at the gate of the city, and when they saw the snow and were afraid that they would freeze to death outside the city, they rushed to the city gate, which was quite broken, and the people were angry, crowded and trampled, and there were many dead and wounded, and the situation was tragic. ”
Tang Xuanlin's brows locked up a little, and the two walked back to the bridge, but it was not as lively as the scene just now, people rushed to tell each other that the epidemic people were about to pour into Kyoto City, and they fled one after another, and for a while there was a feeling of panic on the street, and Butong's throat rolled unconsciously,
"Xuanlin, you go."
Tang Xuanlin was about to say something, but Bu Tong interrupted him, "January is nearby, I'll be fine." ”
Tang Xuanlin nodded and left, dragging a cumbersome white dress, the appearance of a gentleman, and taking the embroidered spring knife was another feeling of slaughter.
"Tong'er be careful, I'll go to the city gate to have a look."
Butong nodded,
"The epidemic people are not thieves, there is no need to suppress them, they just want to live, bring some clothes and tents, they will be willing to focus on the overall situation and be stationed outside the city."
Tang Xuanlin nodded, and a team of brocade guards came in front, hurriedly rushing to the city gate, the leader of the person was black-clothed and equipped with a knife, and shouted loudly, "Protect Kyoto City, no one is allowed to enter the city, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" ”
It's the guy called, Honeysuckle.
Suzaku took a step forward, and Honeysuckle led people to stop, looking at Tang Xuanlin repeatedly in disbelief, "Governor, Lord Overseer?" ”
Tang Xuanlin said "um", then looked at him,
"Don't hurt the refugees, go back to Kyoto Prefecture to get some cotton clothes and tents, and take them out of the city with me."
Honeysuckle's expression flickered for a moment, and then he questioned, "Overseer, the epidemic people are not controlled, and they have injured several brothers who are defending the city, I am afraid that if we bring supplies to them, these Diao people will only gain an inch, and they will be even more disobedient." ”
Tang Xuanlin glanced at him, and Honeysuckle hurriedly bowed his head, "Yes, Lord Overseer, let's do it." ”
After saying that, he left with someone, Bu Tong looked at his back, and suddenly spoke, "Xuanlin, I always feel that this person seems to be wrong and can't say anything, you must remember to pay attention." ”
Tang Xuanlin nodded, "Okay." ”
……
When Bu Tong returned to the Nanguo Mansion, Chun Tao and Jingzhao were already waiting at the door, and Chang'an was also standing on the back, instructing the family at the door.
Seeing Butong coming into the door, everyone stepped forward one after another, "Miss, are you okay?" I heard that there was chaos on the front street. ”
"But I'm scared."
Bu Tong shook his head, his face was as usual, but he took away the hippie smiling faces on weekdays,
"Chun Tao, can the materials from the cloth village be delivered to the house?"
Chun Tao didn't expect Bu Tong to suddenly ask such a question, Mu Ran nodded, "I got up this morning and sent ten horses." ”
Bu Tong lifted her skirt and walked in quickly,
"Call the needlework girl, mother-in-law, even the cook to my yard, I have something to tell you, go quickly."
Chun Tao should turn around and leave, and Bu Tong went to look at the unknown scenery on the side.
"I still have to bother my sister to invite my mother to come, so I said that the epidemic people have gone outside the city to cause a riot, and I have to take some protective measures, and I have to report to my mother."
Jing Zhao's eyes widened instantly, "Epidemic people? He hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran back.
Only Chang'an was left at a loss in place, "The adult wants the slave to wait for the young lady here, and the slave will go back to the adult." ”
"Wait," Bu Tong called out to him, casually pointing to the family next to him,
"You go and report to your father that you are safe, Chang'an and I will go to the warehouse, close the door, and do not open the door without a pass."
The door closed little by little, and Bu Tong walked in with Chang'an, "Chang'an, do you have a lot of strength?" ”
Chang'an nodded in the clouds, "Big." ”
"Good." Bu Tong took him straight to the warehouse, the cloth and fur newly sent by the cloth village rested on the outermost, Bu Tong pointed to the cloth,
"Here, move!"
Saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and picked up one by himself, it was really heavy, Chang'an hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, picked up three pieces of cloth, and walked towards Butong with some difficulty, "Miss, you don't have to get started, I'll move it three or four times back, and I will be able to move it to the house for you." ”
Butong gritted his teeth and walked forward,
"Let's go, wait until you bring the family and carry the rest."
Back in the courtyard, there were already a lot of people standing, tall, short, fat and thin, dressed in everything, Mrs. Qi saw Bu Tong under the porch and hurriedly ordered, "Can't you all see it?" Don't hurry up and catch it for Miss. ”
The fat woman next to Butong looked like a chef, where she had served the nobles closely, so she hurriedly took it and followed behind Butong.
Bu Tong looked at her with a grin, "It's okay, I also have strength." ”
Quickly walked in front of Mrs. Qi and said something important,
"Mother, there has been an outbreak of pox in Dongyi City, and now a large number of refugees have arrived at the city gate and are arguing with the city guards."
Mrs. Qi covered her mouth in shock.
Butong comforted her,
"Mother, my daughter has a way to defend against pox, but this thing is troublesome to make, so I have to ask everyone to come, and go back and take Xiangyun yarn back to do it."
Mrs. Qi was surprised, "How can this pox epidemic be prevented?" ”
Bu Tong looked at the people who were discussing nervously,
"Listen to me, although this pox epidemic is menacing, it is not ineffective, and most of the pox epidemic is transmitted through mouth and nose breathing, as long as it is prevented, wear a mask, wash hands frequently, and ventilate for a long time, it will be fine."
"What is this, the mask?" Everyone asked.
Bu Tong motioned to the cook to take the fragrant cloud yarn forward and unfold it for everyone to see,
"This is a good fragrant cloud yarn, and it is also a good material for making masks, so I will teach you how to make it."
……
After a thorough explanation, everyone divided the fabrics and went back to their respective residences to catch up with work, Mrs. Qi still held Bu Tong's hand a little uneasily, "Tong'er, how do you understand this?" For the mother is still not at ease, can a few thin layers of things not be infected with pox? ”
Bu Tong comforted her,
"Eight layers of gauze are enough, the mother can rest assured, and her daughter will be able to take care of everyone."
"Everyone?" Mrs. Qi was already a smart and beautiful woman, and she heard the meaning of the words, "Could it be that Tong'er wants to take care of those disaster victims, but some of them must have been infected, and it is too dangerous." ”
Bu Tong looked at her with a firm gaze,
"Mother, Tong'er has grown up, she knows what to do and what not to do, I have a party, I can cure the pox epidemic, and tomorrow I will ask my mother to allow me to take a mask and my family to go out to buy medicinal materials to treat the victims outside the city."
Mrs. Qi was worried, "You have never studied medicine, how can you know the prescription?" ”
Bu Tong smiled, "Mother's peace of mind is that this is all lit by the masters in Tong'er's dream, just like the brother's military book, although it is from my hand, but I am not alone in the fabrication, this pox epidemic, there will be no difference, father's side, I have to ask my mother to help persuade me." ”
Although she was still worried, Mrs. Qi knew that what Bu Tong was going to do was right, so she left with a thousand instructions, and brought some fabric to help make it before leaving.
Chun Tao is also a good needlework, and she quickly made seven or eight in the middle of the night, and Bu Tong folded gauze for her on the side, always feeling that something was wrong, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.
It is clear that there was no such a serious pox epidemic in the previous life, why is it ...... now?
Could it be that because of his rebirth, something has changed, so that the people on the other side have a storm for no reason?
Honeysuckle, before Tang Xuanlin reported it, he ordered a killer against the refugees outside the city, most likely because there was someone outside tonight who could threaten the person who was planning to make a trouble, but why did this pox epidemic appear?
……
A bunch of questions made Bu Tong worried, Chun Tao sewed the small things under his hands with flying needles, and comforted Bu Tong at the same time, "Miss, don't worry, I will be protected by His Majesty's dragon energy, and I will definitely be fine." ”
Bu Tong nodded, "Chun Tao, you wait to take a look at each yard, how much have you done?" I'm going to take three hundred with me tomorrow morning. ”
……
At dawn on the second day, Butong, who had just squinted for a while, got up, listened to the sound of rustling outside the door, pulled over the cloak and put on it and went out, the people at the gate of the courtyard were in and out of an endless stream, Chun Tao was counting the masks sent by each yard under the corridor, counting out how many were packed into the baggage, looking at the burden arranged in a row under the corridor, Butong suddenly had an inexplicable touch,
"Thank you for your hard work, once this epidemic passes, you will have a reward."
Everyone left happily, and Bu Tong instructed Chun Tao,
"I went to drive the biggest carriage in the house, piled up the baggage in it, and called five or six strong and powerful men to go out with me to buy medicinal herbs."
