Chapter 23: On the eve of the outbreak of the epidemic
Xiuyuan cautiously glanced at Lu Manman: "Miss Lu, but An'er is not good?" ”
Lu Manman looked at these people in fright, put Xiao Tong's hand down, took out a small black bottle from his bag, poured out one of the pills the size of a mung bean, handed it to Xiuyuan, and said, "Cut this potion open, each of you take a sip, and I'll tell you when you're done." ”
A few people did so without questioning at all, and obediently drank the water, even the confused little boy drank it, and then Lu Manman asked Xiuyuan: "Besides Yunyang, where have you been?" Where were you five days ago? ”
Lu Manman has always been gentle in front of them, and now he was frightened when he saw Lu Manman's serious appearance.
"Five days ago, we went to spend the night in a village outside Yunyang City, and it was too late to be afraid that we would not be able to enter the city, so we borrowed to stay at an uncle's house, and then we entered Yunyang City, worked for a few days, and only came here today."
"Have you been walking together all along?"
"Yes, we set off together in Jingyang Mansion a month ago, and we are all from Jingyang Mansion, but we are not from the same town." The rest replied.
Lu Manman heard Xiu Yuan's words, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything, but put his hand in his mouth and blew a very rapid sound, not long after, a strange bird flew in, Lu Manman directly grabbed Xiu Yuan's hand and cut it, and tore a piece of cloth, and then wrote a good word with blood, tied it to the bird's body, and the bird quickly flew away, and Xiu Yuan was a little depressed, obviously they had ink, but Lu Manman used blood, but Xiu Yuan saw Lu Manman's face, and pressed the words to his mouth.
At this time, Lu Changman looked at a few people and said: "You should really thank this rain for allowing me to come here and meet you, otherwise in a few days, you will become a corpse, and this little boy will be gone tomorrow." ”
Lu Manman's words startled them, a little incredulous, Lu Manman raised his eyebrows and saw the most stable person among them: "You are looking for death by yourself, borrowing in that village, now I am afraid that the people in that village have all died, and fortunately, this thing is not as fast as the plague infection, otherwise the entire Yunyang City will be killed by you." ”
"This child is young, all the onset is fast, and you can resist for a day or two at most, this is a mutated epidemic, a virus extracted from a poisoned animal, the incubation period is up to ten days, and the child is at most five days, and I can't save you two days later, do you know, what I gave you just now, but a hundred poison pills that can only be bought for 10,000 gold, can solve most of the poison, but you still have to take a few more days of medicine to discharge the remaining poison."
When they heard the 10,000 gold, when several people didn't have time to be frightened, Lu Manman threw down another sentence: "Remember to return the money to me in the future, and also, you have to charge interest." ”
A few people who were moved to tears immediately had a collapsed expression, but they couldn't even take out ten taels of silver, 10,000 gold, that is, 100,000 taels, where did they find 100,000 taels, even if they sold themselves, they couldn't make money.
However, several people are not people who rely on debts, Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaosheng gave the girl an IOU, if Xiaosheng can't finish it in this life, let my children and grandchildren continue to pay it back." ”
The rest of the people also followed suit, one by one Cui Tou signed the deed of sale, Lu Manman accepted it calmly, and then put away the things, and then said: "Don't feel lost, although you haven't stayed in Yunyang for long, and they haven't eaten the same thing as you, but the virus is still contagious, and the people in that village are probably not there, I'm afraid I have to burn the village, think about those people, how lucky you are, you just need to drink a sip of potion, those people are even worse, although because they haven't gotten sick yet, It is much easier to treat, but it is also very miserable, you have to put it in a wine vat and cook it for three days, not to mention, and drink at least half a year's medicine, these tortures and time, you people who want to do scientific research can not afford to delay. ”
Then a few people nodded silently, they were indeed lucky, if they found out later, they would have died by themselves, and more innocent people would be affected, and they would have to be left with a stench for 10,000 years after death.
The only thing that makes Lu Manman feel good is that although these people are stunned, they have not said that they have medicine that they should donate to save the people, otherwise Lu Manman will directly poison these people to death.
Liu Xin'er was sitting quietly in the cave room, and suddenly felt something fly to her hand, Liu Xin'er carefully lifted the corner of the hijab, and saw a somewhat ugly bird (you are ugly, your whole family is ugly, Lao Tzu is a noble phoenix descendant) with a strip of cloth tied to his leg, Liu Xin'er untied the strip of cloth, and there was a line of blood words on it: There is a village outside the city that is infected with an epidemic and destroyed, remember to burn it with quicklime and burfill it, the Yunyang epidemic will break out in three days at most, tell Governor Chen, The antidote is: hot soaking of spirits for three days can relieve life, and then find a doctor to follow the prescription for treating the epidemic, ten days a pair, even half a year, can be all lifted, your first business is here, remember to exchange it for gold for me.
Liu Xin'er knew that this was the news from Lu Manman, I am afraid that when Lu Manman left, he found out that Liu Xin'er didn't care that his wedding was not completed, so he directly lifted the hijab, picked up the pen and copied the blood book written by Lu Manman again, of course, he said that the matter of dividing the money was not copied.
Liu Xin'er quickly opened the door, ignoring the surprise of all the guests, pulled her father-in-law and ran: "Quick, something is wrong, go find the prefect." ”
Liu Xin'er's husband is a very gentle person, seeing that Liu Xin'er was in such a hurry, he didn't blame Liu Xin'er for having no rules, but said distressedly: "Okay, I'll go right away." ”
Then many people saw a man in a wedding dress running wildly on the street, and when he arrived at the yamen, the man was already out of breath and said, "Quick, I want to find the prefect, there is something urgent, very urgent." ”
The prefect, who was already about to rest, met Liu Xin'er's husband in his living room, "What's the matter that makes you so anxious to see this official." ”
The man directly handed the letter in his hand to the prefect, and when the prefect Chen saw it, he almost fell to the ground and made a sharp voice: "Really? ”
The man nodded again and again: "Seriously, seriously, it was given to me by my mother, and my mother is the eldest girl of the Liu family." ”
Governor Chen hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on, go, take Miss Liu over, and then go and find Master and Guard Lin for me." ”
