Bai Ling walked around the county for a few days before he found a satisfactory shop, but unfortunately the other party refused to sell, and Bai Ling had no time to consume, so he had to give up.

Before returning to the village, Bai Ling wanted to go to Ouyang's house, and while seeing the old lady, he also brought a lot of New Year's gifts to pay New Year's greetings in advance to express his gratitude to the county order.

There was a secret guard left by Shangguan Yu, and Bai Ling met Lao Wu at night.

The six people that Shangguan Yu gave to Bai Ling are now the number one people Bai Ling left in various places, and they have first-hand information about the local area.

"There was no riot in Baifu County, the market was also under control, and there were few shops and houses for sale.

Lao Wu roughly reported the recent situation to Bai Ling, and prepared first-hand information so that Bai Ling could know in more detail.

"In terms of manpower, I have found something that can be cultivated, and the character aspect still needs to be investigated. On the Fucheng side, the harvest is much better than here. ”

"There's chaos over there?" Bai Ling's brows furrowed slightly.

If Shangguan Yu leaves this time, he will definitely go to Fucheng, and if there is a riot, he may encounter danger.

And on the side of Fucheng, Miao Xuan has not heard news for a while, and Bai Ling is uneasy.

"There are people in Fucheng who are falling ill one after another, and they are suspected of being plague." Old Wu said in a low voice.

"What?" Bai Ling's face changed, and he asked, "Is there any news, what are the symptoms of the sick victims?" What did the doctor in Fucheng say? How did the government house the sick victims? ”

Listening to Bai Ling's repeated inquiries, Lao Wu straightened his face and said: "I don't know the specific news, it only says that the government gathered the sick victims in an abandoned village outside the city, and the officials guarded them and prevented people from entering or leaving. ”

"Are there any precautions in the city?" Bai Ling's heart sank.

If the government does not handle it properly, it will definitely cause panic among the victims, and then there will be chaos on the part of the city, and then it will spread to all sides.

"The city has blocked the city gate, those who leave the city will not be stopped, and those who enter the city will be strictly checked." Lao Wu replied.

Hearing this, Bai Ling did not speak, but bent his fingers and tapped on the table, his expression was serious.

Lao Wu glanced at Bai Ling, then lowered his eyes and was silent, waiting for Bai Ling's instructions.

"Try to block the news and don't panic the people here. I will go to see the county lord tomorrow, and then set off for Fucheng, you ask someone to send a letter to my house, and say that I will go to Fucheng to negotiate a deal, and the return date is uncertain. ”

Bai Ling quickly made a decision.

Whether Shangguan Yu is about to go to the direction of Fucheng, or he doesn't want the world to be chaotic, Bai Ling must go over and take a look.

"The subordinates should bring someone to accompany the master, in case there is chaos over there, it is too dangerous for the master to be alone. In addition, the master needs to allocate manpower and materials, and he also needs to be called by someone. Lao Wu pleased.

Bai Ling thought for a moment, with the secret guard by her side to protect, it would be difficult for her to use the things in the space, and it would be okay to bring Lao Wu with her.

"You choose someone who can run errands and follow you, and you will leave tomorrow before noon." Bai Ling nodded.

After Lao Wu left, Bai Ling called the dark guard to appear and ordered: "Immediately use your channels to deliver news to Shangguan, let him and his party wear masks at all times, and take a drop of the potion I prepared every day." ”

The dark guard was guarding in the dark, and he heard the conversation between the two, and wanted to persuade Bai Ling not to go over.

But the northern land is the fief of the Han Palace, and the financial aspect supports the expenses of the entire Zixiao Army, and there is absolutely no civil strife, so this idea was dispelled.

Bai Ling didn't know that the dark guard had put the expectation of curing the plague on herself, and she chose to go for this purpose.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Ling went to see the county magistrate, told him about the situation at the government office, and asked for a letter of recommendation so as not to hinder his actions.

Afraid that Shangguan Yu would arrive first, Bai Ling chose to ride a horse day and night, and when he arrived at the closed village, the inside of his legs was already worn out, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

When the official led by the county commander saw the letter of recommendation, he did not embarrass Bai Ling, but he was not optimistic about Bai Ling's ability.

"A few of you are staying outside so that you can communicate with the outside world in a timely manner." Bai Ling stopped Lao Wu and the others from following, and gestured in the direction where the dark guard was, signaling him not to go in either.

Putting on an isolation gown, Bai Ling walked into the village with the medicine box on his back, but his heart became heavier and heavier.

The village was dilapidated, cold and cold, and on the way you could meet people lying in the snow, frozen to death without anyone to help them.

Bai Ling's arrival did not attract attention, the people here seemed to have seen through life and death, or were waiting for death, casually looking for a place to live, without any communication with each other.

After checking the pulse of more than a dozen people in a row, those people raised their heads and saw Bai Ling combing the girl's head, so they lowered their heads again, which showed that they did not trust.

"What kind of medicine did you all take? Where are the medicine bowls or medicine residues stored? Bai Ling squatted in front of a woman who was humming a song with a child in her arms, and asked out loud.

The woman raised her frozen purple face, looked at Bai Ling's eyes and suddenly filled with brilliance, stuffed the child in her arms to Bai Ling, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Girl, please save my child. He's not sick, he's just fainting from hunger, can you please take him out? He's still so young, he's the only bloodline in the family! The woman cried, her chapped lips bloodied.

Bai Ling carefully held the child in his arms, and after checking his pulse, the expression in his eyes sank a little, and he was still angry.

"How many days have you been here? Doesn't the government care? Bai Ling lowered his voice, afraid that he couldn't help but roar.

"It's been several days, a bowl of rice soup and a bowl of medicine every day, and many people can't survive anymore." When the woman heard this, she cried even louder.

Perhaps the woman's cry was different from the usual cry of those relatives who died, and gradually some people came closer, one by one, skinny as wood, and swayed by the wind.

Bai Ling looked up and swept over, and saw lifeless faces, only to feel a dull pain in his heart.

These people are contagious cold, and if they are not treated in time, they will indeed kill people, but they are not incurable.

It's just that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is slow and the cost is too high, and without the imperial court to allocate money, the yamen watched them drag to death.

"Do you want to live?" Bai Ling spoke up, and when he saw that everyone did not answer, he shouted loudly: "Do you want to live, answer me loudly!" ”

"Yes! We want to live! The woman looked at the child in Bai Ling's arms and was the first to shout.

The eyes of the others gradually brightened, and they all cried with a whimper, or shouted in a trembling voice to live.

Putting the child back into the woman's arms, Bai Ling stood up, but his petite body was like an overwhelmable pine and cypress, and he raised his voice:

"If you want to live, listen to my arrangement, and all those who can move should immediately go to the yard to find someone who can cook, and get some firewood to make a fire to keep warm. Tonight at the latest, I'll let everyone eat their stomachs, drink healing medicine, and have a quilt cover to keep out the cold! ”

Hearing Bai Ling's words, no one acted, I don't know if he was overly surprised and petrified, or if he didn't believe Bai Ling's words.

"I am a doctor sent by Lord Ouyang from Baifu County, if you want to live, cooperate with me, if you don't want to live, just wait to freeze to death in this ice and snow. I'm not an immortal, I can't save people who are bent on death! ”

After Bai Ling finished speaking, he strode away from the crowd and walked in the direction of the entrance of the village.
