This plague is like water flowing out of the ground, like a fire burning the plain.

Meng Yining sat and thought about the two men in front of him, the most important thing in front of him was not what kind of diplomatic relations and rejuvenation of the country, war and conquest, and even the most basic peace and contentment could not be guaranteed. The top priority is the plague of plague. She pushed open the window and stood outside the door, going to the kitchenette to see if the food was ready for tonight, there was a rat infestation, there were shadows on the walls up and down, and she didn't want her dish to be eaten by rats twice. Meng Yining left the two men in the house and went straight out.

The small kitchen was covered with gauze with freshly steamed pastries, Meng Yining looked at the repeated heat, and suddenly had an idea, and asked the palace maid next to him, "But there is still such gauze?" She remembered that her sister did the same when she was dealing with the white powder in Zhao Yien's house. The palace maid nodded and brought a little, and Meng Yining asked them to wash it and dry it in the sun in the courtyard tomorrow.

The next day, the sun was fortunately warm, and she was a little sleepy. Meng Yining used scissors to cut pieces of gauze into palm-sized sizes, and brought new cotton stored in the palace. A thin layer of cotton is stuffed between the two pieces of tulle, and then sewn on. Fasten two straps so you can tie them up and down around your ears. She remembered that her sister had used this method, and it might be useful to follow suit today.

Jing Chi watched the little girl sitting in the yard chattering, and walked over to see what she was tinkering with. Before she could ask, Meng Yining stood up and saluted and said, "Take it, maybe it's still useful." ”

He looked at the white cloth in his hand and smiled: "How did you come up with it?" Does this work? ”

"If it's so fast, maybe it's not just rats that will infect people, maybe there's something in the air that will get people, so be careful. My sister did that, and it should be fine. She smiled.

"You still have a sister?" Jing Chi looked at the things in his hand.

Meng Yining raised her eyebrows, and nodded shyly, "Well, my sister is back." Her voice was faint, but it made Jing Chi confused. He always felt that Meng Yining's life experience was not as simple as he thought, he was not a princess, nor was he born to a palace maid. After all, Gu Zi'an treats her like a sister on weekdays, but she is not. Jing Chi is not stupid, so he can naturally see heresy. But people don't want to say it, and he doesn't ask about the harmless details.

The baby came out of the side yard, and Jing Chi greeted him, "Sir, is it okay to rest last night?" ”

"Thank you for your care."

"Then let's go." Jing Chi greeted Meng Yining, "You put on your breathing mask for Mr., and the excess will be distributed to the palace first, and then to the people of Xiantao." They also need to be taught how to make it. ”

Meng Yining nodded, "Where are you going?" ”

"The source of the plague." Jing Chi said solemnly, "In the hundred years of Xiantao, there has never been such a chaotic epidemic. In addition to burning the dead and settling the living, it is imperative to find out where the source of the disease is. It is also necessary to cut off the road for the Xiantao refugees to go to other places, otherwise, the entire Great Xia will soon fall into this epidemic, and the foundation for the people to live and work in peace and contentment for a hundred years will collapse in an instant, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"I'll go with you." She stepped forward.

"Yi Ning," he frowned.

She shook her head, "Don't worry about me, I'm not worried about you." Although Xiantao is safe, but now that the people are wandering around, what will happen if you can't keep it safe, I must ensure your safety, so I will explain it to me and to the king. Time is pressing, let's go. "What she said is affirmative and cannot be denied. After a few days of not seeing, Meng Yining's stubbornness in her bones was undoubtedly revealed, she used to be submissive, but now she has her own attention.

Jing Chi's eyes lit up and nodded, "Okay." ”

The baby originally lived in the mountains, and it was because he drank the water in the mountains that he contracted the disease. He guessed that the source of Xiantao's moat might be able to find the problem, if not, why didn't the people in other regions be contaminated at first, but Xiantao. Moreover, the disease is spreading rapidly and has never been seen before. How can we get everyone infected with the epidemic in a short period of time? There was a precedent of poisoning the well in the past, which had led to the death of the whole village, and he was a little panicked in his heart, so he must check it out.

Xiantao's moat is extremely wide and the water flow is vast, and the residents of the city and nearby villages rely on water for water, relying on this river for fishing, laundry, and fetching water. Their lives are inextricably linked to the river. After walking a short distance, the group saw a wide river. Seventy years ago, the people of Xiantao built a canal to bring river water to the city. The water is not turbulent here, but a large embankment was built to guard the water source and to serve as a lookout during the war.

Several people stood around the embankment, watching the water flow through the thin iron pillars, but did not notice any vision.

Meng Yining asked casually: "Is the source of this river a fairy peach?" ”

"No, it's a small mountain range in Yanrong." The attendant on the side said.

"Where is it going?" She asked again.

"East of Chengping."

Meng Yining was slightly stunned, and muttered Yan Rong in his mouth. She didn't have any evidence, but when she heard these two words, she knew that it might be related to Yan Rong. Now hearing the name of his home country, instinctively physiological nausea. She looked back at Jingchi and said abruptly: "Do you think that natural disasters are occurring?" ”

"What do you think, sir?"

The infant shook his head, "I don't know, but if there is a natural disaster, the plague also occurs mostly in the year of great drought, and the people have no way to survive, and they will eat wild mice and be infected with epidemics." However, the peach is abundant, and there has been no major drought or waterlogging in recent years. But if it is a man-made disaster, who did it? What is the purpose? ”

Meng Yining's eyes became cold inch by inch, she watched the surging river flowing into Xiantao City, and suppressed the emotions in her heart without blinking, "I'll go down and take a look." She said to look for the fence on the embankment. She saw something black floating on the dark blue water, and if she was far away, she would have thought it was the shadow of a dark cloud. Meng Yining picked up a long wooden stick casually and hooked the water.

"Yi Ning, what are you doing?" Jing Chi shouted, and the small voice was about to pounce into the water.

The wooden stick was not long enough, and the water was rippling, even if Meng Yining squinted his eyes, he couldn't see what this mess was. There happened to be a small wooden boat on the shore, and she dragged it into the water, and swam with her oars to the black masses. Across the boat, she could feel the coldness of the river, which seemed to be buried with souls and bones. Getting closer, and suddenly, she saw what the slimy pink and black was!

Meng Yining vomited.

The mandarin duck cake I ate last night vomited in the river!
