Nanzhuang Village occupies a small area, and there is a bad smell everywhere.

The people of the government gathered here in order to gather all the plague sufferers, but all the famous doctors and doctors with high reputation in Jiangdu were summoned to Jiangdu City one after another.

Placing these villagers here is tantamount to leaving them to fend for themselves.

When the Xiao family soldiers and officers brought by Shang Yuchen entered the village, they went door-to-door knocking in an orderly manner to deliver medicine.

The medicine they brought was transcribed and developed by Childe, but before he came, he had only heard of the symptoms of the plague, and had not seen it with his own eyes. Whether it can save people is still unknown.

Shang Yuchen walked alone in the forefront, followed by Imperial Physician Pei, carrying a heavy black iron medicine box on his shoulder, and when he stepped on the ground, the depth under his feet was a few points deeper than that of others.

In addition to this, there are several other imperial doctors who follow.

Jin Lian didn't know how to heal, so he just followed them with a weapon in his arms and protected them thoroughly.

Master Sun has always been pointing the way ahead, and he has never seen so many big people, so his back is already soaked in cold sweat.

As for Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi, after entering the village, they were busy following the officers and soldiers to distribute the medicinal herbs, and then help with the frying.

However, the villagers were obviously very resistant to the arrival of the prince and others, and the disgust in their eyes made it difficult for them to ignore it.

"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Open the door! We are not bad people, we were sent by the court to save you! ”

Tang Yinchen slammed on a wooden door, and the weeds on the roof fell straight down with his movements. Yang Huanzhi, who had a headache at him, hurriedly grabbed his arm, lest he really collapse the already crumbling thatched house.

"Get out! We are not sick! No need to treat! Get out of Nanzhuang Village! Our village does not accept outsiders! The lackeys of the court, there is no good thing! ”

There was a sound of vicissitudes full of anger from inside.

The people in the village were too resistant to them, and in the door that Tang Yinchen and they were facing, except for the dark old face that appeared at the beginning, the old woman refused to come out again.

Somehow, Yang Huanzhi bowed his hand to the wooden door and said softly, "Mother-in-law, you may be too worried." We came to Jiangdu with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to assist His Highness in making an antidote as soon as possible and saving the people. You are angry and do not cooperate, and you are disregarding your own lives. ”

Before the old woman in the house could speak, another angry voice came from another dilapidated farmhouse nearby, "Ignorance? We don't have the plague at all! It's all to blame for those who suffered a thousand knives in the Jiangdu Mansion! In order to defraud the imperial court of disaster relief money, they lied to the outside world that our people had the plague! He also locked us up and left us to fend for ourselves! The fields are gone, the crops are gone, and those beasts are going to starve us to death! ”

Although the man's voice was unwilling and half-crying, no matter how he heard it, he was full of energy, and he didn't look like a dying person after suffering from the plague.

Since stepping into Liting Town, strange things have always followed.

“......”

When Tang Yinchen heard this, he looked at the gray smoke still rising from the mountain behind him in surprise, and naturally put his right hand on Yang Huanzhi's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" It's been more than half a month since the plague broke out in Jiangdu, but it doesn't seem right! ”

Yang Huanzhi looked around and said, "Remember to hear Master Sun say that this plague is different from the past. The first symptoms of the people were fever and cough, and later they would become insane, insane, and even gibberish. No matter what kind of herbs can't be cured, after three days, the person will die. ”

Tang Yinchen scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "That's the case, but I didn't follow it." But I still think it's weird to hear it, the complexion on the mother-in-law's face just now is darker than black charcoal, and it doesn't look like the color that ordinary people should have. ”

Yang Huanzhi looked at other families as if they were like this, frowned, stepped forward and gently knocked on the door twice, "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, you open the door first." If you have anything to say, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he will definitely make decisions for you! ”

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

The sound of 'crackling' came from the house, as if something had broken, Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi glanced at each other, and hurriedly raised their feet to kick the door open, when they hurriedly walked into the house, looked around the small and simple farmhouse, and the inside was clear.

There are a few kitchen utensils scattered on the wall, but there are many scuff marks and chips on them, and I think it must have been years old.

On the left side of the kang is covered with a mat woven from sorghum straw, and in the center of the kang is a low wooden table. An old woman dressed in cloth was lying on the ground, her clothes were patched in layers, her hair was silver, and her gray eyes were cloudy.

To everyone's astonishment, her exposed skin looked even darker in the light of the torches in their hands, like ...... A charred corpse?!

However, when she saw them, her complexion quickly turned red.

"Wow! Ghost... Ghost? No, no, no! Youkai youkai! Old Yang! Protect me! ”

Tang Yinchen shouted exaggeratedly and jumped behind Yang Huanzhi.

Yang Huanzhi listened speechlessly as he chanted behind his back, and when he listened carefully, it turned out to be an exorcism spell.

took a step forward suddenly, and Tang Yinchen staggered forward with his steps, almost falling.

Tang Yinchen wanted to grab Yang Huanzhi's arm, but he pounced and clenched the folding umbrella in his hand to 'dip in frost', but if that old woman dared to make any abnormal moves, he was afraid that he would really make a move.

"Hey, hey? Old Yang? Don't go there! What if she eats people? Maybe this plague will be contagious, and if you become like this, we won't be able to save you for a while! ”

Listening to his chatter behind him, Yang Huanzhi really stopped.

The old woman stood up crookedly, holding on to the edge of the kang, and with a shovel standing up in the corner, she stumbled two steps to that side, and was about to rush towards them with the shovel in hand.

Yang Huanzhi is just a weak scholar, and he only relies on those three or two tricks to protect himself on weekdays.

Seeing that the shovel was about to fall on his head, Tang Yinchen immediately pressed the frost-soaked mechanism, and with a 'click', the icy cold light flashed, and the frost-soaked flew out of his hand, hitting the shovel in the old woman's hand steadily, and then swirled into his hand.

On the other side, there was a 'click', and the shovel broke in half and fell to the ground.

Tang Yinchen took two steps forward, pressed Yang Huanzhi's shoulder, dragged him away from the front, and when the old woman pounced again, he raised his foot and went over again.

Although his kick was somewhat restrained, there was an old woman on the other side, and her body bones were already weak, and this kick was very likely to kill her.

Tang Yinchen's heart suddenly became weak, and he stumbled when he spoke, "That... That one...... I didn't mean to, I just didn't react for a while! Mother-in-law, are you alright? ”
