"Daddy? What's wrong with you, Dad? Don't scare me! We're about to get to the county seat, you hold on a little longer! Let's go to the doctor."

A man in his thirties fell in the middle of the road, and a boy about ten years old next to him lay on him and cried so sadly.

"It's a refugee from Sand City again!" Thinking of the family he saw the day before yesterday, Li Mumu was not surprised.

Li Mumu turned his face to look, and sure enough, Xiao Yan's expression was not good again.

Xiao Yan walked over and saw the man who fell to the ground coughing uncontrollably, sweating profusely and his mental state was not very good, he stepped forward to help the young man help the man up, but was stopped by Li Mumu, Xiao Yan looked at Li Mumu puzzled.

"Don't go, he... It doesn't seem good! Li Mumu thought of the problem that was most likely to erupt after the war, and thought about it for a while before speaking.

“...... Pestilence? Xiao Yan thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"You know?" Li Mumu didn't expect Xiao Yan to guess his thoughts at once.

"Hmm. Can you be sure? ”

Li Mumu took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and then squatted next to the man to check it for him.

"It's a plague!" Li Mumu withdrew his hand and said to Xiao Yan.

"Is there a way to heal?"

"He can't wait." It's not that there is no way to heal, but he can't wait for Li Mumu to find a way to cure him, and Xiao Yan understands what Li Mumu means.

The young man next to the man watched there for a long time, and the big sister in front of him seemed to have a way to cure his father.

"Sister, please save my father! Please, I'm willing to be a cow and a horse for you, just save my father's life. The young man kept kowtowing to Li Mumu as he spoke.

The young man's forehead turned red all of a sudden, and Li Mumu lamented in his heart, it is always the ordinary people who suffer from the war.

"Get up! Your father's he... Been sick for too long! It's too late to take medication now! Li Mumu's words undoubtedly sentenced the man to death.

The young man's eyes turned even redder, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, "Please, think of a way!" I can give you my life. ”

A ten-year-old child can say such a thing, and he is also a person of filial piety, Li Mumu was rarely moved by compassion.

"I can only temporarily alleviate his current symptoms, if you father and son have anything to say, please explain as soon as possible."

Along the way, many people are like his father, he never got up after he fell, and the young man also knew that he was in a difficult position to be a strong man, and it was already good to be able to talk to his father.

With the help of Li Mumu and Xiao Yan, the boy and his father came to a hillside outside Li Mumu's village to rest temporarily.

This is a plague, Li Mumu didn't dare to bring people home at all, and the whole village was in danger if he was not careful.

Li Mumu went home and boiled a bowl of decoction for the man, forcibly poured it on him, and then administered acupuncture to him, and after a while, the man's face looked much better.

The boy looked at Li Mumu happily, but was splashed on his head by Li Mumu with a basin of cold water, "This is only temporary, and the effect of the medicine will arrive after an hour." ”

As for the time, everyone knows it.

After a while, the man slowly opened his eyes, saw the son who was guarding next to him, raised his hand and patted his head gently, and the boy's eyes instantly turned red again.

Although the man was groggy from the pain, he also knew in a trance that it was the two people in front of him who saved him.

"Ahem... Ahem... Thank you both! "The man still struggled to speak.

"Let's drink some water first." Li Mumu handed the water bag in his hand to the boy and asked him to feed his father to drink.

"What's going on at the border?" Xiao Yan said to the man.

The man was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Xiao Yan was talking to himself, "In the northernmost county seat of Shacheng, all nine villages are gone..."

"Gone?"

"yes... The Beijon soldiers slaughtered the village, did not sweep and occupy it, and then went to the next village after looting. Nine villages have been lost in this repetition. ”

"How did you get sick?"

"Alas! I don't know what's going on, but people in several nearby villages began to get sick one after another, and their symptoms became more and more serious, but within a few days, many people died. ”

"And you...?" It stands to reason that the man has been infected, and according to his footsteps, he will not be able to escape from Li Mumu and them.

"Those of us who are infected with the disease are all in one place by the government! Those who died were thrown out and cremated, and I had to wait until I died, but my son was not sick, and he was still young, so I stole a horse at night and escaped with him. ”

The man looked at his child lovingly, and he could only accompany him here......

"Dad~~" The boy couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"Did you send someone from the court?" Although he had already asked which family the day before yesterday, Xiao Yan still wanted to hear something useful.

"I've heard from those who are soldiers that they can't do it now. The Imperial City already knew about this and was ready to send someone over. The soldiers on the border did not dare to slack off, and came into contact with the Beirong soldiers several times. ”

"The Beirong soldiers are not like the previous guerrilla fights, for some reason, the last few times they are very strong, and there is a faint tendency to attack the city."

"Is it someone from the Xiao family sent by the emperor?" Li Mumu had already guessed that Xiao Yan should have something to do with the Xiao family in his mouth.

"Alas! No! If only we wouldn't have to escape. "The man seems to have a strong trust in the Xiao family.

"General Xiao Xiao is nowhere to be found, and the emperor has sent people several times but has not found it! General Xiao was seriously ill, and I heard that he had the heart to go on the expedition, but the emperor was sympathetic and did not agree in the end..."

"What do you say? Old General Xiao is seriously ill? Xiao Yan suddenly looked nervous.

"It's... Oh, yes! Therefore, the emperor sent other people to come, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, it is said that Qin Xiang's son was sent to supervise the army. ”

Xiao Yan was still immersed in the news he had just heard, Li Mumu saw that the man's face was getting worse and worse, and he also knew that his time was running out.

"Talk to your father! We'll wait for you over there. ”

Li Mumu pulled Xiao Yan to the side, "Mumu, I..." This seems to be the first time Xiao Yan has called his name.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, I didn't ask you!" Xiao Yan should also know what he guessed.

"I... I'm sorry! Xiao Yan felt a little sorry.

Li Mumu didn't know if he was sorry because he had concealed his identity, or because of something else. Although everyone has their own hardships, Li Mumu still feels depressed in his heart.

She turned to sit down on a rock and said no more.

"Daddy!!!!" The boy's painful voice broke the awkward atmosphere between Li Mumu and Xiao Yan, they knew that the man was gone.

Li Mumu's suggestion was that it was best to cremate the man, but the boy disagreed, so Li Mumu had to dig an extremely deep pit with Xiao Yan and help the boy bury the man.

"Thank you, big brother and big sister..."The boy's eyes were swollen from crying, and his eyes were confused when he looked at Li Mumu, he didn't know where he should go in the future......
