Chapter 233: His Heart's Wish
Divine Doctor Zhu took Lu Yue and Zhu Qing away with a cold face, and halfway through, Divine Doctor Zhu asked Zhu Qing to go back first.
Divine Doctor Zhu and Lu Yue walked along the barren road, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yue was dizzy from the sun, but she saw that Divine Doctor Zhu's pace was also steady, and Lu Yue hurriedly quickened her pace and followed.
The two of them went up the city wall along the steps, and when Lu Yue climbed up, it was not hot, the wind was blowing, and the soldiers who were guarding back and forth greeted Doctor Zhu, occasionally glancing at Lu Yue curiously, but they would soon withdraw their gaze.
The two kept walking, and suddenly Lu Yue saw thick smoke coming from a hill, "Ah, it's on fire?" ”
As a result, after she finished speaking, Divine Doctor Zhu ignored her even more and continued to walk, and Lu Yue looked at the other soldiers with an indifferent expression.
Lu Yue had a little understanding in her heart, and she followed Doctor Zhu in a few steps, "Master, what is that?" ”
Doctor Zhu found that this girl was really a little clever, and he called him an old man when he didn't need him, and he called him a master when he needed to find him.
But he didn't bother to worry so much about her, he looked at the smoking place with a distant gaze and said: "The place where the bones of the people of Huaibei City are buried~"
Doctor Zhu's voice was faint, as if she was saying something inconsequential, Lu Yue was stunned when she heard this, she stared blankly at the green smoke that was blown around by the wind, her face was about to be covered with a cloth, and she felt that she was suffocated a little out of breath, "Whew~" Lu Yue let out a breath, and her lips spit out a few words with difficulty, "Are those seriously ill in prison?" ”
Doctor Zhu hummed lightly, this girl has already seen it, and there is nothing to hide.
"How is this plague so bad?" Lu Yue spit out softly, she had studied history before, and knew that there had been many plagues in history, seriously destroying a country and covering a city, but when she was in this era, she was a little panicked in her heart.
"At the beginning of this plague, it was simply a fever, the throat was red and swollen, and I couldn't eat, and gradually I would have unbearable pain in my chest cavity, and I would have a high fever and coma." Doctor Zhu looked into the distance, his eyes were a little melancholy.
"I know this~" Lu Yue nodded, Zhu Qing had already told her about this symptom on the first day.
Divine Doctor Zhu glanced at Lu Yue and continued: "After the high fever, they will undergo some strange changes, they have no intelligence, they have infinite strength, they are bloodthirsty and like to eat raw meat, and their whole body will collapse, which is terrifying. As long as they scratch a little, the person who is scratched will immediately become sick~"
Lu Yue blinked, it sounds like a modern zombie?
Divine Doctor Zhu said, his eyes turned to Lu Yue again, staring at Lu Yue's hairy heart, "So you are very reckless today~"
Lu Yue shrunk her neck in embarrassment, and said, "I'll be careful in the future~" If you don't see a familiar face, Lu Yue believes that with her own ability, that thing will definitely not hurt herself.
But it wasn't until this moment that Lu Yue knew everything Qin Mufeng had paid for this Huaibei City, the wind blew gently past her ears, and her heart was sour and astringent.
No wonder they didn't dare to reveal such a secret, if the people of the whole city became like this, it would be a hell on earth, or before it reached that point, the emperor had already ordered all these people to be hanged.
Lu Yue greeted the breeze, and saw that Doctor Zhu was still looking at her, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she was moved, this old man was abducted from herself, risking her life.....
"Old man, did you think about coming to Huaibei City before I could speak?" Lu Yue's fierce gaze looked at Divine Doctor Zhu.
Doctor Zhu was so despised that his heart was empty, and he still had a hard mouth on his face: "Nonsense, my old man is not a righteous person, how can I .....?"
Lu Yue snorted and turned her head, "Then Zhujia Village wasn't built by you with money?" Doctor Zhu was speechless when asked.
But let him watch the thousands of taels of gold fly away, and there was no door, "That's for your senior brother to accumulate virtue~"
"Huh?" Lu Yue's face was full of question marks, I don't know what this has to do with her senior brother?
"You are a senior brother who was born since he was a child, after all, his life was criticized for being too poor, so he was thrown into the wilderness, or he was picked up by the teacher~"
"Oh~" Lu Yue glanced at Doctor Zhu lightly, this sound was like a casual lie, she believed that this old man had a ghost.
Oh, this old man is so bad that he even bullies her senior brother.
Doctor Zhu glanced at Lu Yue quietly, and saw that Lu Yue's eyes were clear, as if he believed his nonsense, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose slightly, when this little girl should be fooled, she still has to fool her~
After a long time, Lu Yue glanced at Doctor Zhu and said, "If this is his wish, I will help him fulfill it~"
Divine Doctor Zhu smiled with relief and nodded.
In the evening, because Lu Yue's cooking was more delicious, Zhu Qing had to help Lu Yue, and after a while, several dishes were placed on the table, this time in addition to some pickles, Lu Yue also found a wild vegetable nearby that could be eaten, and they all liked the taste of that dish.
As soon as the dishes were served, before everyone could move their chopsticks, an uninvited guest came to the courtyard, Guo Cheng changed into casual clothes, tall and big, but not as strong as Li Hu.
He was led in, Doctor Zhu's face changed slightly, and he immediately put down his chopsticks and invited someone into the room, Lu Yue wanted to follow, but Zhu Qing dragged his sleeve and sat down.
The two went in less than a cup of tea, Guo Chengcheng came out, said hello to everyone and left, Lu Yue walked in a few steps, and Zhu Qing followed.
I saw that Doctor Zhu was leaning back in his chair in great decadence, closing his eyes and not speaking, and his whole person was shrouded in a great sadness.
The door was closed, and the two stood quietly, Lu Yue stared at Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing looked at Doctor Zhu in a daze, and he couldn't even say words of thoughtfulness and comfort~
Lu Yue opened her mouth, and before she could say a large series of comforting words, Doctor Zhu opened her eyes, stared at the corners of the two of them and smiled slightly, just when Lu Yue wondered if the old man was possessed by something.
As a result, Doctor Zhu stood up and said to Zhu Qing, "You go with me." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lu Yue again, "You just stay here obediently, if I find out that you are secretly following us..."
Seeing that Doctor Zhu was holding a few silver needles in his hands, and the roots were bursting with cold light, Lu Yue hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and Doctor Zhu walked out with Zhu Qing.
As soon as Lu Yue's footsteps moved to the door, he heard that the old man was settling with Li Hu again, and said that if she disappeared at night, he would let Li Hu eat the military stick, was there a mistake? This Li Hu is her Lu Yue's personal guard.
So Lu Yue was forced to do so, and all night, Li Hu stared at himself without blinking, afraid that he would be able to fly.
Lu Yue had no choice but to obediently go back to the house to sleep, but fortunately, she slept peacefully and did not dream any strange dreams.
On the second day, Lu Yue cooked a meal at the usual time, and was about to deliver it to the old man and Zhu Qing, when he saw a swaying figure walking in from the door, and when he got closer, he found that this person was Zhu Qing.
Lu Yue walked up in a few steps and blocked people, "Hey, why are you back?" What about the old man? ”
Zhu Qing raised his head in a daze, opened his mouth and yawned, his lips were as white as ghosts, looking at his white face and the cyan color under his eyes.
Lu Yue guessed that they might have spent another sleepless night, so she didn't say much, pulled someone into the kitchen, and stuffed Zhu Qing with a bowl of porridge.
Lu Yue asked him if he wanted it again, but Zhu Qing shook his head, and Lu Yue saw Zhu Qing's spiritless appearance, so he had to send people into his house, stuffed the quilt, and covered him with a quilt.
Zhu Qing was next to the pillow, her eyes automatically closed, Lu Yue looked at Zhu Qing's stupid appearance, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, she helped tuck the corners of the quilt, and said softly: "Sleep well~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Qing woke up suddenly, looked at Lu Yue with confused eyes, and spit out in his mouth: "Master is going to medicine again~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person suddenly fell to the pillow, closed his eyes, and slept peacefully.
The expression on Lu Yue's face has not changed, she has vaguely guessed from the time Guo Cheng came last night that the old man gave the medicine during the day, I am afraid that there was an accident.
These two people didn't return last night, and today Zhu Qing returned with a tired face, and she had already guessed it.
Lu Yue closed the door and walked out, she stood on the steps and thought about it, then turned back to the kitchen, and filled a small dusty porcelain jar with porridge, and prepared pickles and steamed buns.
She carried the basket all the way to the small broken courtyard in the north of the city, and after she went, sure enough, the medicine room was tightly closed, Lu Yue turned around in place several times, and she didn't want to disturb the old man's medicine, so she had to hand over the basket to a little medicine boy in the courtyard who dried medicine, and she went out.
After walking a few steps, I saw that there were many people gathered around the camp in front of me, as if they were making trouble.
Lu Yue walked up in a few steps and tore those people apart, but saw that in the middle of those people, a doctor was crying on the ground, shouting: "Xiaotong~Xiaotong~"
The more Lu Yue looked at it, the more he felt that this person's face was a little familiar, and suddenly heard someone say: "Hey, what a sin, this doctor Wang fell in love with a rich lady when he was young, but unfortunately he was looked down upon by the snobbish prospective father-in-law, and beat the mandarin ducks, and since then the pair of beautiful people Lao Yan have flown apart." The doctor never married, and it is said that a few months later, the rich lady asked her to send back a child who was waiting to be fed, and then the young lady committed suicide by hanging. ”
"Yes, Dr. Wang is still afraid of ruining the reputation of the rich lady, and has always insisted that this child was adopted by himself, but these two people look so similar, who is blind will not be able to see it~"
"It's just~ Hey, good people don't have any blessings at all, and now this child is also infected with the plague, how can this make people live?"
Lu Yue silently listened to the words of these people, and finally got the name right, isn't this the child who wanted to scratch himself in that prison?
It turned out to be the doctor's child~
Soon Guo Chengcheng came over with people and let everyone go back to their tents, and when Dr. Wang saw Guo Cheng, he suddenly got up from the ground, threw himself at Guo Cheng's feet, grabbed Guo Cheng's trouser leg and begged with tears: "Please, Master Guo, I can't live without him, I want to see him." ”
