Yu Muhuai's arrival had already attracted the attention of all the victims in the house, and now when they saw something to eat, their eyes immediately lit up.

In order to get the information he wanted, Yu Muhuai was also very generous and asked Qianran to find someone to bring some food.

When Qian Ran was about to go out, Yu Muhuai instructed.

"Wash your hands immediately after going out, don't take off the veil, don't come into contact with people, just bring food to the door, don't let them in."

Qian Ran was puzzled, but still agreed to it all.

After a while, the food arrived, and the guards were all at the door and did not come in.

However, because of the food, a large number of people came to the door, wanting to see the situation inside.

Yu Muhuai gave a cold and rigid order, asking the guards to disperse all the onlookers and not to gather outside this room.

The common people were reluctant to give up on food, but they were afraid of the officers and soldiers with weapons, so they could only turn around and leave.

With food and enough to eat and drink, Xiaorong's mother's spirit is much better, and the spirits of the other people in the house are also much better.

Seeing that their situation was improving, Yu Muhuai seized the time and continued to ask the question just now.

"Ten days ago..... Xiaorong's mother leaned against the wall, frowning and thinking, "About half a month ago, I went to the west of the city to help for a few days, and then I felt a little uncomfortable." ”

Yu Muhuai had just come to Gushui City for a few days, and she didn't know much about this side, so she asked, "West of the city?" What's going on over there? ”

Xiaorong's mother replied: "When the people in the city die, they are all sent to the west of the city to deal with it.

The government has set up a temporary site there, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and the officers and soldiers said that if they helped carry and bury the corpses in the past, they would be able to earn some food and money.

I want to raise Xiaorong and her younger brother, thinking that I can earn more money, so I passed. However, I didn't expect that within a few days, I would fall ill...."

I asked some of the other victims and got a similar answer: they lived together and went to work together at that time.

Yu Muhuai nodded, she stood up, took Qian Ran and walked outside.

Walking outside, she ordered the officers and soldiers to cordon off the room and forbid anyone who lived inside from coming out.

Anyone who wants to go in needs her permission to do so. Food can only be delivered to the door and asked the people inside to come out and get it.

People are not allowed to approach, let alone have any contact.

Seeing Yu Muhuai's serious appearance, Qian Ran also felt a little uneasy.

He asked, "Ah Ci, what happened?" Why are you like an enemy? ”

Yu Muhuai turned his head to look at Qian Ran and said lightly: "If my prediction is correct, they may be infected with the plague." ”

"What? Pestilence? Qian Ran was shocked, and his voice was unconsciously amplified.

Qian Ran has always been calm and composed, but when he heard this word, his face immediately changed.

It's no wonder that Qianran reacted greatly, in this era, it is basically talking about "plague" color change.

No one knows exactly how the plague came about, only that if there is a natural or man-made disaster that causes a large number of people to die, there is a possibility of a plague.

After the plague broke out in some backward areas, it would be blamed on the inaction of the imperial court, which angered the heavens and caused the heavens to send down heavenly punishments.

When the founding monarch of the Lanting Kingdom overthrew the corrupt regime of the previous country, he also used this name after a plague broke out in a certain area, packaging his army as a team that "walked for the heavens".

In today's era, most people still believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that the emperor is the person who exercises power on behalf of God, so he will be called the Son of Heaven.

If natural disasters occur frequently and the country is not properly governed, the people are struggling to make a living, and they are starving everywhere, they will naturally think that the Son of Heaven is derelict in his duties, and thus expose the uprising.

Therefore, once a plague occurs, the consequences can be large or small.

Yu Muhuai could actually confirm that Gushui City was already in the early stage of the plague outbreak.

Because in the previous life, after Zhong Ci came to Gushui City, he encountered the same thing.

However, when Zhong Ci and the others found out, the plague in Gushui City had already spread, and it was completely out of control.

The plague is infecting quickly, and the number of doctors in Gushui City is already small, and a few doctors are unfortunately hit, which makes the whole city even worse.

Yu Wenxue's maid Cuizhi also died because of the plague.

After Lou Yunsheng was sure that there was an outbreak of the plague, he sent someone to send Yu Wenxue and Zhong Ci away in time, and quickly sent them back to the imperial city.

What happened to Lou Yunsheng in Gushui City after that, Zhong Ci has no way of knowing.

Because Lou Yunsheng never mentioned what happened later.

Zhong Ci only knew that Gushui City had become a dead city since the plague, and it had been closed for a long time, and it was not opened until Zhong Ci died.

Nearly eighty percent of the people inside died, and those who survived it regarded the experience as a nightmare and didn't want to mention it at all.

Therefore, Yu Muhuai has very little information about this plague.

However, extremely malignant infectious diseases such as plague and smallpox can be ruled out.

Based on the limited information, she speculated that it was caused by some kind of typhoid infectious disease caused by the cooler weather and the deterioration of sanitary conditions caused by the floods.

Therefore, before Yu Muhuai came over, he prepared a very large number of herbs in advance, mainly for this plague.

Of course, herbs alone are not enough.

Yu Muhuai walked and thought about the next way to deal with it.

After hearing that it might be a plague, Qian Ran sent people out of the city to find Lou Yunsheng and told him about it.

Not long after, Yu Muhuai and Qianran came to the west of the city.

Near the gate of the West City, the government temporarily built a Yizhuang to temporarily park the corpses.

After a brief stay in Yizhuang, the bodies are transported out and buried in a nearby place.

In the past, these bodies would have been sent to a special cemetery, and even if they were poor, they would be transported to the mountains to find a slightly more hidden place for burial.

But now is a special time, people are dying every day, the number of corpses is several times the number of before, and the road outside the city is not easy to walk.

Coupled with the limited manpower now, it is really too busy.

Yu Muhuai saw that some people had even dug a pit less than a mile outside the city wall, and were ready to pile the corpses into that pit.

She frowned and stopped the men's actions.

The person who was busy in the dark stopped, looked at the woman in front of him, who was dressed very differently from the others, and looked her up and down.

"This girl from the imperial city, if you have anything to do, go to the officials and tell the old men that we are just working here, and we all follow the rules and orders."
