On the spacious street, there are not many bustling shops everywhere, and all the doors of the shops are closed, and there is a bleak scene.
The signboard flag outside the door was drooping, and no one cared about it, and the wind blew through, and the flag was shaky.
The stalls that were originally lively are now unmanned, and only a few empty shelves are left there.
There was a lot of debris on the ground, and occasionally the wind rose, and a piece of flying sand covered the sky.
Occasionally, a group of patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth.
The whole street, like a post-war battlefield, is depressed and desolate.
Is this the bustling Guzhou?
Guzhou is the fief of the seventh prince, Zhong Jichao, who is the son of the noble concubine and should have stayed in Kyoto. However, in order to maintain the position of the crown prince and avoid fratricide, the emperor gave Zhong Jichao a rich and fertile land, allowing him to enjoy glory and wealth.
Compared with Jiangzhou, Guzhou is more prosperous, and now, full of gloom, what kind of tragic situation should it have experienced to bring about today's situation.
Seeing this scene, the three of them turned over and dismounted, with sad faces.
Just as the three of them were about to visit door to door, the leading roe deer who offended Sun Yao and the others on the city tower had already hurried over and blocked the three of them.
Since he has been offended, in order not to let himself have an accident in front of the Seventh Prince, he can only smile and be courteous: "Medical Saint, you have worked hard all the way, the little one has already sent someone to inform the Seventh Prince, I believe that the Seventh Prince will come to greet him soon." β
"Don't dare." Sun Yao ignored it, "Lao Tzu is not a minister, if you don't scold Lao Tzu for being nosy, everything will be fine, and you won't make trouble for Lao Tzu." β
It is rumored that the doctor is short-tempered, and sure enough, with this temper, why couldn't he see it in the first place?
"Doctor Sheng, you are too modest, you and the minister of the Qincha, there is no distinction between high and low." The roe deer continued to tout.
Sun Yao didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't have time to listen to the soldiers' sycophants, so he asked himself: "Where are the people who have the plague settled now?" β
"They're ......"
"Master Jun, he didn't get the plague, I beg you, don't take him away." Suddenly, there was a cry in front of me, hoarse, sad and miserable, and there was a lot of movement on the silent and desolate street.
"Do you know what's going on up ahead?" Sun Yao asked.
When the roe deer asked, he was flattered and hurriedly replied: "There must be someone in one family who has the plague, and the patrolling brothers must take them away to prevent it from spreading." β
Hearing this, Sun Yao led the horse, bypassed the soldiers, and walked towards the place where the accident occurred.
Qiu Yunshui and Han Mu followed without any question.
"Hey, don't ......" the roe deer tried to dissuade him, but no one listened to him, and he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to follow or not.
After thinking about it for a while, he sighed, who asked him to do such a thing, in case someone questioned Sun Yao's traces, how should he explain it, so he had to follow step by step.
Along the way, among the shops facing the street, many people squatted by the windows, looking at the situation outside through the hollow cracks, but no one came out.
Following the movement, the four of them found a dilapidated house at the mouth of an alley, and at this moment, there was a team of six soldiers in the courtyard.
The yard was small, with a water tank, a few old benches, two strings for drying clothes, and a few pear trees.
At this time, four soldiers were carrying a man in his twenties, the man described as haggard, with deep-set eyes, a flushed face, a constant cough, and a confused consciousness.
There was a woman of about sixty years old next to her, unkempt, holding the man's body, and not letting people take the man away.
"It's all like this, isn't it the plague?" The leading captain, with a long beard and a majestic body, is only slightly short and vicious, "If he stays here, he will harm everyone in Guzhou." β
"Master Jun, he just caught a cold the day before yesterday, so he was unwell, and it couldn't be a plague." The old woman's face was full of wrinkles, and her old tears were full of tears, just to keep the man.
"These people are too much, they haven't even let the doctor see it, how can they conclude that it's a plague." Qiu Yunshui was about to step forward, Sun Yao stretched out his hand to stop him, but he didn't explain anything, but waited and watched.
Qiu Yunshui didn't understand its meaning, so she could only watch it.
"Tell me what to say, I got a report, someone said that your son has been in contact with a few people who have had the plague before, and I have been staring at you for a long time, and it is not caused by a cold at all." The captain of the lead debunked the old woman's rhetoric in one word.
"Which one is black-hearted, my wife is dead, the eldest son and second daughter are gone, there is only such a son left, why don't you let us go?" The old woman cursed.
"If you dare to deceive Lao Tzu, you will play less here." The leading captain did not change his face, as if he did not know the so-called accommodation.
"Master Jun, you have pity on me, let him go, I'll kneel down for you." The old woman fell to her knees and pleaded.
"We know you're pitiful, but if he stays, more people will die, why did you let him go?" The leading captain did not compromise, "Don't worry, when you get to the top of the cliff, someone will take care of him." β
"Take care? How to take care of it? In that place where the dead don't know, how can I trust my son to you? The old woman no longer knelt down to the leader of the captain, but hugged the man, refusing to let go.
Seeing that the old woman was still dragging her, the leading captain couldn't help but say something and kicked the old woman away.
With that, he gave the order to have the man forcibly taken away.
"Oops...... There is no reason, son, give me back my son" The old woman lay on the ground, beating her breasts and feet, her face looked desperate, and her hand kept reaching out of the house, helpless and desolate.
"Master......" Qiu Yunshui wanted to stop the four of them, although Sun Yao had not stopped them, but Han Mu did not let her pass.
The four soldiers, each wearing a pair of gloves on their hands, turned their heads one after another as they carried the man, as if they were afraid of being infected.
When the seven of them got out of the house, they met Sun Yao and others, all of them were fresh faces, and they were about to interrogate, and when they saw the roe deer, they asked as a routine.
"Roe deer, they don't seem to be from the city, do they?"
"No, they ...... when they just entered the city"
The roe deer was about to explain their identities, however, the team leader had already interrupted: "You don't need to explain it to me, you can just interrogate it yourself." β
Since he was accompanied by the people guarding the city, this was not his scope of responsibility, and after the team leader finished speaking, he staggered past with a few people behind him.
"Xu Wei, I said you ......"
However, Xu Wei had already left without looking back.
It seems that he is not the only one who has eyes but no beads.
"Listening to the conversation between the two, if there is no accident, the person just now is indeed not a cold, it is very likely to be a plague." Sun Yao pondered, this was only a preliminary observation, and there was no further investigation.
Sun Yao said this, Qiu Yunshui can only believe unconditionally.
"Master, what should I do now?"
"The priority is not to save this man, but to find what they call the precipice." After a few words, Sun Yao was about to follow Fang Cai's team to take a look, at present, he really didn't know how Zhong Jichao dealt with the people who had the plague.
It's just that he only took a few steps forward, but was stopped by a roe deer.
"Doctor Saint, you don't care about this matter for now, after seeing the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince should explain the situation to you, as for how to treat it, it will be discussed at that time."
"What's going on?" Sun Yao asked the soldiers, "Lao Tzu doesn't have the patience to wait for the emperor's kid, and why did he send him to the cliff, hurry up and explain." β
"If you don't admit it, Master will hold you accountable for your rudeness." Han Mu threatened, "Don't think that Medicine King Gu only understands medical skills, not poison techniques. β
The roe deer clutched his neck, which was what he feared, and now he had to do whatever they said.
"A few people don't know, the Seventh Prince gave an order, but all those who have the plague are placed on the cliff, so as to avoid infection to normal people, and try to reduce the number of casualties, this is also a good intention, otherwise, put them wherever they want, how can this be reassuring?"
"Cliffs?" It was the first time Qiu Yunshui had heard of this kind of placement method, not to mention that she couldn't believe it, even Sun Yao had never encountered it.
"Where is the cliff? Take us there. Sun Yao gave the order directly.
"Oh, the medical saint, I don't dare, there are all the people who have the plague trapped there, and there is a new population every day, it is a gathering place for terminal diseases, and the small ones really dare not go, and if the Seventh Prince knows that I took you there, if something is good, then I will be to blame." The roe deer immediately refused, and if he went to the place, it was better to go to the front of the Seventh Prince, maybe it was more likely to be born.
"Lao Tzu and Hades are enemies, but anyone who offends Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will send them to see Hades, believe it or not, Lao Tzu can send you down now." Sun Yao threatened nakedly.
What is a medical saint, that is, the life and death of a man, the soldier has never doubted this sentence.
"Medical saint, you are blessed with a great life, a long life of 100 years, but the small one is only a little blessed, and when you reach the cliff, today next year, it will be my death day." The roe deer was miserable.
Sun Yao was impatient: "Tell Lao Tzu where the cliff is, and Lao Tzu will go by himself." β
"This ......" the roe deer hesitated slightly.
"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu can ...... you right now"
"Medical saint, the cliff is on Qiming Mountain outside the east gate, you can find it in the past." After the roe deer finished speaking, he ran away as soon as he smoked, and his mouth was still babbling, "I didn't say it, I didn't say it." β
"Master, is what he said credible?" Han Mu had a skeptical look.
"Just go and see, the team can't go far, and now they can catch up, they should be able to keep up." With that, the three of them got back on their horses and kicked up a thick layer of dust on the chaotic street.
Sure enough, the three of them didn't run far before they saw four people carrying the man, and the remaining two, one in front and one behind, were still moving slowly, and the three quickly caught up. Beechcraft Tip: How to quickly search for the books you're looking for
The clattering of horses' hooves, in the dry streets, sounded monotonously, as if reflecting the desolation of the state capital.
There were already clues, which inevitably alarmed the patrolling soldiers, and the three dismounted, temporarily tied their horses to the side, and slowly followed.
Follow them all the way to the east, near the gate of East Street, where a group of more than a dozen soldiers is stationed, all of them looking sad and irritable.
Outside the gate, there were several horse-drawn carriages without roofs, made like ordinary board cars, with some straw on them, which was very messy.
"Fuck, there's another one, it's the third one today, and there's still more to come." The soldiers stationed at the gate scolded one after another when they saw the team that gave them away.
"Brothers, bear with me, it's not easy for a few brothers, it's like catching a strong man every day, and today that old woman is going crazy." The leading captain Xu Wei was also bitter, "When the minister and the people from the Tai Hospital arrive, they should be able to improve." β
"When they arrived, they didn't know what year or month it was, and I guess they were afraid of death, so they didn't see anyone for a long time." The captain stationed there, with a black face, full of wind and frost, is probably battle-hardened, has the temper of a general, and the posture of a general, but does not have the demeanor and bearing of a general, so he is just a squad leader.
"Guo He, you're wrong, there are our Seventh Princes here, do they dare to be lazy?" Xu Wei and Guo He are a little familiar, and they talked about it for a while.
"You're wrong." Although Guo He was very arrogant, he was still cautious, and he whispered in his ear, "I guess the emperor doesn't like our seventh prince, so he will be sealed here, although Guzhou is a rich land, but it is far away from Kyoto." β
"That's right, when the Seventh Prince came here, the news spread all over the city." Xu Wei agreed, "However, this is not something we should take care of, you take this person in first, and I have to go on patrol to take a look, so as to save those people who are blind to the mouse, and if they find out, they will not report it, and then we will be miserable." β
"Gotta get it, let your men put him in the car." Guo He is not in the mood to chat, seeing that the number of people suffering from the plague is increasing day by day, no one's mood is much better, in case one is not careful, he will become a person on the cliff.
"Go, throw this kid in the wagon." Xu Wei pointed to one or two carriages, and the four soldiers had been ordered, and they had already wanted to let go, so they threw the man on the straw at will, and hurriedly retreated.
"You two, take him on board." Guo He pointed casually, the mountains and forests are deep, and the so-called cliffs are still hidden in the depths of the clouds, which is a good place to isolate.
"Head, it's us again, we just sent it the previous trip." The two soldiers were reluctant in their hearts, if it was okay if they were sent by others, this person who had the plague was not only drudgery, but also a person who could not get it right, and would have to pay for his life.
"Where is there so much nonsense, everyone takes turns, the next trip is to change someone else, and the two have not come back yet." Guo He's words had been spoken, and the two had no choice but to take the order, sit on the dilapidated and dilapidated carriage, and drive the horses to the legendary cliff.
The two soldiers who drove the car were also fully armed, with gloves and veils.
The three of them followed the trail, and met the six people above.
This time, the roe deer was not there, and Sun Yao and the three of them were like no one. The people of Guzhou were either warned to hide at home, or they had been sent to the edge of the cliff, where did they tolerate idlers wandering on the streets.
"Stop." When he was about to pass by, Xu Wei stared at the three of them and shouted.
Sun Yao stood in front, Han Mu was half a step behind, Qiu Yunshui followed behind the two, and when he heard the words, he stopped together.
"Who are you? Who told you to be here? What about roe deer? Xu Wei was full of vigilance, and looked at the two men in front of him from top to bottom, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.
Sun Yao stood with his hands in his hands and said righteously: "We are here to visit relatives." β
This was simply unexpected by Qiu Yunshui, and I thought that Sun Yao would confidently tell his name, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Visiting family?" Xu Wei frowned, "What's the matter with the roe deer, the Seventh Prince didn't give an order, and idle people are not allowed to enter the city." β
At this time, the roe deer was not there, and Xu Wei was not good at confronting him face-to-face, and he did not see the roe deer being coerced at that time.
"Are you sure you're here to visit your family?"
