Chapter 353: The Meng Family Ancestral Hall
"Open the door."
The old man spoke, and one person stepped forward to unlock the lock.
When the people inside the door heard the commotion, the noise became louder, and when they heard the noise, they knew that they had a tendency to gather at the door.
As soon as the door opened, like a flood leaking out, the beast came out of the cage, and several large festering people on their bodies were about to rush out with their teeth and claws. They all looked like teenagers under the age of seventeen or eighteen.
The man who opened the door kicked one back, dodged to the side. The stick-bearers rushed forward and beat them until they could no longer resist them, so they dragged them and threw them back into the ancestral hall.
Chang Le, as a bystander, was dumbfounded, and felt a chill ripple over his body at the thought that he was about to be thrown in as a participant.
"If you have a red disease, you can pray for your ancestors in the ancestral hall and ask your ancestors to bless our Chuancao Village. What are you trying to do with running out? Didn't you run out and hurt the rest of our village? ”
The old man said earnestly, squinted at the corner of his eyes, and said, "Put the three of them in there too." The ancestral hall will deliver a meal every day, and you will take one last journey here. ”
The door of the ancestral hall was open, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see the specific situation. All you know is that it's like a haunted house, with pairs of eyes staring at you, waiting for you to enter and eat you.
Boom!
The door slammed shut, and the inside was cut off from the outside again, making it even more dreary.
In front of Chang Le and them were more than a dozen people with godless eyes and zombies, and those people were all looking at Chang Le and the three of them with those gray eyes. Among these people, the eldest is elderly, and the youngest is only a few years old, both male and female.
They muttered something in their mouths, and then slowly dispersed. The villagers who had been beaten before were lying at the door, moaning to themselves, and no one cared about them.
"Why are outsiders also imprisoned in this ancestral hall?"
"It's not unusual, as long as you get sick, you're bound to be thrown in. Let's wait for death together. ”
"Judging by their appearance, it's the one lying on the ground that is serious, and the other two should be infected."
“……”
Si Boyan stood next to Chang Le, protecting her, looking at the ancestral hall left and right.
This ancestral hall of the Meng family is not big, it is a high-walled courtyard, and it is deliberately heightened to see that this high wall was deliberately heightened later, thinking that it was afraid that the people in it would escape out. In the middle is the main hall where the ancestors of the Meng family are placed, and there are two small rooms on the left and right, and then there are two rooms on the left and right.
After the men dispersed, they all went back to the left and right compartments. Some were unwilling, and their mouths were still wailing in pain, which was the same voice that Changle had heard outside the ancestral hall before.
"Shall we take Yu Shan to the ancestral hall first?"
Chang Le squatted next to Shan and checked Yu Dan's injuries, and found that his body was still hot and scary, and now he was in a complete coma, not knowing what it would continue to develop.
Si Boyan looked around and nodded: "Let's find a place to settle him first." I'll carry him. ”
Chang Le was trying to lift Yu Shan up, but the attempt failed. Hearing this, he stepped aside, and Si Boyan put Dan's body on his back as soon as he turned around, and Chang Le helped to stabilize it.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, we have to find Meng Jiu as soon as possible." Si Boyan whispered in Chang Le's ear.
As soon as they were about to step into the ancestral hall, they came running from nowhere, a young girl, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with two round buns, messy and fluffy. The girl flashed in front of them, and with a pair of hands, stopped them.
"You're outsiders, so you'd better not enter our ancestral hall."
The girl looked normal, not sick, and not very sloppy.
Si Boyan listened to the girl's words, stopped, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you girl for reminding me, then I don't know where we can stay for a while?" This friend of ours is now suffering from a high fever and needs a place to stay. ”
The girl looked at Si Boyan, and her little face suddenly turned a little red. He glanced at the man he was carrying, saw that his face was red, and lowered his arms.
"People who have a high fever are the most likely to infect others, and it can also aggravate other people's illness. Come with me. ”
After that, the girl is already leading the way. Chang Le and Si Boyan glanced at each other and followed closely.
The girl led them to the small room on the right side of the ancestral hall and gently pushed the door open. Inside was a simple living room, with a bunk, and the bedding on the bed was messy, and there was a foul smell.
"This is a place for these people with high fevers, you put them on and come out." The girl explained, "When his high fever subsides, he can come out and die." ”
The corners of Chang Le's mouth twitched unconsciously. It's really hard to accept that I heard such a breezy sentence from the mouth of such a flower-like girl.
Si Boyan still did it first, thinking that the girl had just said that people with high fever were easy to infect others, so he didn't let Chang Le follow up. He went in and made the bed casually, put down the sheet, covered him with a quilt, and then came out.
"Sister, who are you?"
The girl asked Chang Le, but her eyes kept glued to Si Boyan, and her face was still flushed with suspicion.
Chang Le didn't have to look carefully, he knew that the girl must have looked at her boss Boyan. Also, Si Boyan has elegant manners, gentle conversation, good voice, good looks, and an aristocratic atmosphere. Usually when a woman sees it, she will indeed be tempted, not to mention that she is a girl in the flower season.
"We are just ordinary businessmen, and we are passing by here and unfortunately contracted a disease."
This is the fake identity that Changle used to go south.
"You're different from the merchants I've seen, what kind of business do you have?" The girl noticed that Si Boyan was looking at her, and immediately dodged her gaze and looked at Chang Le.
Chang Le saw her little girlish actions clearly, and said with a smile: "We are in the calligraphy and painting business. ”
When the girl saw Si Boyan approaching, she smiled a little nervously: "So that's the case." ”
"Dare to ask the girl, I don't know the identity of the girl?" Si Boyan came out and closed the door, and asked the girl out loud.
Chang Le watched the show next to him and was very happy.
"I, my name is Meng Jin, my father and mother call me Ah Jin, and my eldest brother can also call me Ah Jin." The girl smiled, put her hands behind her back, "I don't know what the name of the big brother is?" ”
"Under the divination." Si Boyan smiled gently.
Meng Jin looked at Si Boyan like this, looked at Chang Le, and asked, "Then ...... this sister is?" ”
Si Boyan glanced at Chang Le's appearance of watching the play, and said with a smile: "She is my wife." ”
Meng Jin's smile froze for a moment, and Chang Le couldn't laugh for a moment.
"No, I'm ......"
"How not?" Si Boyan interrupted Chang Le's argument, reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "You don't want to harm a little girl." ”
Chang Le looked back at him and wrinkled his eyebrows: "Then you will harm me?" ”
Si Boyan smiled silently, hugged her tighter, turned to look at Meng Jin and asked, "I don't know if we have a place to live?" ”
"Ah......" Meng Jin suddenly came back to his senses, the flush on his face faded, and he was still smiling, "Yes, you look like you are also suffering from red disease, you can live with us." Also, we're going to be cleaner here, too. ”
Meng Jin turned around and led the way in front.
Chang Le saw the opportunity, knocked off Si Boyan's hand on her waist with a few slaps, and glared at Si Boyan with a biased head.
Si Boyan smiled even more, and his shallow eyes were all smiling.
Chang Le understands that this Si Boyan looks like an emperor, but in fact, he is not a serious gentleman, and he has the same shamelessness as King Huai.
"Miss Meng, you are here because you are suffering from red disease?"
Si Boyan shifted his attention to Meng Jin. Meng Jin didn't look back, just nodded and slowly admitted.
"Well, I came in seven days ago, and now it's past the time of the high fever. It won't be long before I start to have white spots on my body and fester......"
Hearing this, Chang Le's heart was suddenly pinched.
Meng Jin seems to be a good girl in her youth, and she should have a lot of life to spend. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for such a girl to be festering all over her body.
Thinking of this, Chang Le couldn't help but start to feel dizzy, and felt even more dizzy.
Si Boyan grabbed Chang Le, reached out and touched her forehead, and tested the temperature of her neck, and found that her body temperature was much higher, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Meng Jin noticed something strange and turned to look at Chang Le.
"Is it time for her to have a high fever too?"
"It should be." Si Boyan bowed his head and asked a little impatiently, "I wonder if the girl knows where Dr. Meng Jiumeng is?" ”
Meng Jin nodded, stopped in front of the small room on the right side of the ancestral hall, and pointed to the door.
"He's right in there."
There is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and this is the case. Si Boyan didn't expect to find the person they were looking for so quickly.
The furnishings in the small room are the same as those in the small room on the left side of the suite.
At this time, a man in his mid-thirties was sitting on the bed, his legs in the shape of a dustpan, and a wooden plank tied to his left leg. He didn't look out of the ordinary, and he looked a little cleaner than those outside.
This person is Meng Jiu.
Meng Jiu's family has been a doctor for generations, and he has always been respected by the villagers of Chuancao Village. Now Meng Jiu had an accident in order to collect medicine for the villagers to cure their diseases, so he was sent to this ancestral hall. In addition, after he came to the ancestral hall, he still worked tirelessly to check the situation for everyone, and the old man who originally occupied the room automatically gave up the room.
Under Meng Jiu's arrangement, the situation in the ancestral hall has also improved greatly.
First, a room was vacated, and those who were sent in with a high fever were put aside, and those who had subsided went to the left wing, and when they entered the ulceration period, they went to the right wing. The conditions here are not good, but everyone is required to pay attention to cleanliness.
Every day, Meng Jiu either studied the books brought in by the trustees or gave needles to the villagers here in an attempt to delay their symptoms.
At this time, when Chang Le and Si Boyan came in, Meng Jiu was reading a book, and the book was still wooden.
Meng Jiu raised his head when he heard the movement, and shouted casually.
"Ah Jin, you're back."
"Brother Jiu, this is the person who came in today, and there is another one with a high fever, so I let him put it in the hut."
Meng Jin closed the door, blocked the cold wind outside, quickly explained the situation, and when he saw Meng Jiu twisting his eyebrows, he explained.
"This big brother's name is Bu Yan, and this is the wife of the big brother. They are in the painting and calligraphy business, and they have contracted red disease with us. ”
