Chapter 187: A Place to Stay
Lianzhi led the horse into Feng'an, it was already winter, but the people walking on the road were still thinly dressed, and they shrank forward in the cold wind.
Lianzhi could see that the windows of many people's homes were broken, and they couldn't stop the cold wind at all.
Lianzhi's outfit was a bit eye-catching, and when she walked into Feng'an, she was noticed by many people. Many passers-by stared at the burden on Lianzhi's body, and there was a green light in their eyes. As if he hadn't seen anything, he walked straight forward.
When she first arrived in Feng'an, Lian Zhi didn't immediately go to Wen Zhiyu, she needed to understand Feng'an's situation first.
At this moment, a man rushed up and was about to grab Lianzhi's burden, but was kicked away by Lianzhi.
Lianzhi sympathized with the refugees, but she never sympathized with such robbers.
After the man was kicked away, a group of people rushed up directly this time, Lianzhi had no killing intent towards these people, he could only open them, but they would pounce again if they were opened, Lianzhi was a little impatient.
At this moment, Lianzhi saw a little boy, the little boy was peeking at Lianzhi, and when he found that Lianzhi saw him, he immediately turned his head and ran back. Lianzhi turned on his horse and immediately followed him.
Lianzhi stopped in front of a ruined temple, and when she dismounted, she saw the little boy standing in front of the ruined temple.
Lianzhi walked up to the little boy, squatted down and said to him, "Thank you." ”
The little boy had never seen such an approachable person, and was a little embarrassed: "I didn't want to help you." ”
"Didn't you bring me here, if it weren't for you, I'd still be haunted by those people."
"I think those people are too much and shouldn't have robbed you of your stuff."
Lianzhi saw the ruined temple behind the little boy: "Where is this?" ”
The little boy turned his head and looked at the ruined temple, with some confusion in his eyes: "This is, my current home." ”
"I'm new to the city and I don't have a place to stay, can I stay at your house for a few days?"
"No way!"
The little boy refused simply, and Lianzhi asked, "Why?" ”
"You're a foreigner, you're going to be scared."
"Afraid of what?"
"Because it's full of sick people." The little boy looked very sad and "everyone who saw them would run away in fear." ”
Lianzhi was a little strange: "But don't you live here?" ”
The little boy lifted his sleeve and exposed his arm, which was covered with purple-red blood stains, which looked very terrifying: "I am also sick, and this blood stain spreads very quickly." ”
The little boy thought that he would see fear and disgust on Lianzhi's face, but Lianzhi didn't, she just put down the little boy's sleeve: "It's cold outside, can I go in and see?" ”
"Big sister, aren't you afraid?" The little boy is weird.
Lian Zhi shook his head: "What is there to be afraid of?" ”
"Xiaocan, who are you talking to, why don't you come in quickly?" Just then, a woman with a bowl of rice shouted, "Come in and eat." ”
Lianzhi looked at the woman, and there were purple-red blood marks on the woman's neck, which had spread to her chin.
The woman put down the rice bowl, walked to Xiao Can's side, took his hand and prepared to take him back, as if she didn't see Lianzhi from beginning to end.
Xiaocan grabbed the woman: "Auntie, can you let this big sister in?" ”
Xiao Canniang looked at Lianzhi: "You want to come in?" You are a good person, what are you doing here, there are all sick people inside. ”
Lianzhi replied: "I don't think there is any place to stay here in Feng'an, I wonder if I can spend a few nights here?" ”
"You'd better hurry up, what's there to do in this Feng'an? While you just came, you can still walk now, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”
"This eldest sister, I also have nowhere to go, can you help me?" Lian Zhi said sincerely, Xiao Canniang was a little surprised: "You can go to other places?" There are people who are sick here, aren't you afraid of being infected? ”
Lian Zhi shook his head: "This disease shouldn't be contagious, right?" Moreover, I think that the people here may be kinder than the people outside who are not sick. ”
"You're a strange girl." Xiao Canniang didn't refuse this time, and went in with Lianzhi.
Seeing Xiao Can Niang and Xiao Can coming back with people, the people in the broken temple were surprised: "This girl is also sick?" ”
Lian Zhi looked at the people sitting in the ruined temple, there were old and young, men and women, there were about a dozen people, and the blood marks on their bodies basically spread to the chin, so it seems that Xiao Canniang is still good.
Lianzhi noticed that there was a man's blood that had spread to his temples and connected to the corners of his eyes. Xiao Can rushed to the man's side at this time and shouted, "Daddy." ”
Xiao Can's father hugged Xiao Can and asked, "Where did you run just now, your mother couldn't find you no matter how she looked for it." ”
"I just saw this big sister being bullied, so I brought her back." Xiao Can replied.
Xiao Can's father looked at Lianzhi: "This girl, Xiao Can is ignorant and brought you here, I'll let his mother send you away, it's not safe here." ”
Lianzhi replied: "But it's the most unsafe for me to leave here now, at least you won't bully me here, right?" ”
Xiao Canniang stepped forward: "Dad, this girl doesn't dislike us for being sick, she wants to spend the night here, it's too chaotic outside, she really has nowhere to go." ”
An old lady spoke: "Or let her stay, as long as you don't dislike us." Ordinary people ran away when they saw us, and it was rare to have someone who was not afraid of us. ”
"Thank you, auntie." Lianzhi smiled and responded.
It was just time for dinner, so they invited Lianzhi to eat together, and Lianzhi did not refuse, so they ate with these people.
"Girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Lianzhi."
"Miss Lianzhi, you are a girl's family, why did you come to such a chaotic place in Feng'an?"
Lianzhi replied: "I'm here to find a husband." ”
"You're married?"
Lianzhi nodded: "That's right, my husband is in Feng'an, and I'm here to find him." ”
"You're coming alone?"
"I received a letter from home, he seems to be sick here in Feng'an, I was worried about him, so I looked for him all the way, and I wanted to go back with him."
Listening to Lianzhi's words, everyone present was a little infected, and an uncle spoke: "The current little girl is really not simple, her courage is commendable, I believe you will definitely be able to find your husband." ”
Lianzhi asked, "May I ask, apart from here, where else will Feng'an take in sick people?" ”
Xiao Canniang spoke: "Miss Lianzhi, in fact, we are not a shelter here, everyone used to be neighbors. Later, many of us got sick, and everyone else avoided us, and then the sick people took the initiative to move here. In fact, a lot of people have died here, and we should die here in the end. ”
Xiao Canniang looked at Xiao Can's father as she spoke, and the man's blood had spread to the corners of his eyes, and it had only been a day or two.
Xiao Can's father was optimistic by nature, and continued: "What his mother means is that there is no fixed shelter here, and some people lie at home when they are sick, so it is not easy for you to find someone. ”
"Thank you." Lianzhi thanked her, she had a medicine given to her by Gu Shiqi, which could extend her life for a month. But Lianzhi can't give it to Xiaocan's father, she has to leave this medicine to Wen Zhiyu, and there are so many people here, one medicine is not enough.
Selfish or not, her first instinct must be to plan for the people around her.
Lianzhi chatted with these people while eating, and everyone found that Lianzhi was not a high-ranking lady, but very easy-going, so there were more words, and a lot of Feng'an things were mentioned in the words, and Lianzhi secretly wrote it down in his heart.
After the meal, Xiao Canniang and the others cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Canniang stayed the latest, and when she was the only one left, Lianzhi came over, and she handed over a piece of silver to Xiao Canniang.
Xiao Canniang didn't accept it: "This is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”
"I can see that you are taking care of everything in this temple now, right?" Lianzhi said, "You will definitely spend money to prepare meals every day, if I eat your food for nothing, is it too much?" ”
"That's too much money."
"Not much, I know how much to give. The uncle and the aunt have suffered all their lives, so give them something good. ”
"Girl, you're a good man." Xiao Canniang finally accepted the money, she knew that Lianzhi was a person who was distressed and sick in the broken temple, "Actually, I wasn't in charge of this place, but my illness was the lightest, so it was handed over to me according to the convention." When the bloodstains continue to spread, there will be new patients in the temple who are not serious, and the person in charge will be replaced. ”
Although this dilapidated temple is broken, it can be seen that the people who live here cherish it very much, so they try their best to repair it, so that they finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"May I ask, what the hell is going on with this disease?" Lianzhi asked, "Can't it be cured?" ”
Hearing Lian Zhi's question, Xiao Canniang smiled a little tiredly, she leaned against the stove, and those past events resurfaced in her mind......
