Because of a broken arm, for a child, it is really unbearable. Rao is a good doctor, and he can't make people feel no pain at all. The severe pain made the little girl struggle constantly.

At the severed arm, blood continued to ooze.

Wen was pressing her hard, "Don't move, you must hold back, if the wound bursts open and causes heavy bleeding, you will lose your life!" Niu'er, if you want to live, just listen to your uncle's words, don't move! ”

Zhao Wuwu stood there, watching as blood spilled out of the fracture, gradually staining the mattress red. Taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made the decision in her mind, and walked towards the bed.

Pushing Wen away and hugging the little girl tightly, Zhao Wuwu pressed her body that was constantly struggling because of the pain, and said to Wen Gu with a cold face, "Why don't you stop the bleeding quickly?" ”

Wen was stunned at first, he really didn't expect Zhao Wuwu to ...... After being stunned, he quickly took out the needle bag, "Fortunately, when I came out, I carried the needle bag and some gold sore medicine with me, which can still come in handy at this time." ”

"Big brother-" The little girl burst into tears, "I hurt so much, big brother, I don't want to die." ”

Zhao Wuwu's body tensed, and he hugged the little girl tightly, "Niu'er, listen to me, no one wants to die, and no one should die." So, you have to persevere, the eldest brother will take you to the school, or the eldest brother will teach you to learn and write? ”

"Big brother, tell me the story!" The little girl's breath was dying, Xu was in extreme pain, and her whole person kept trembling. With her other hand, she grabbed Zhao Wuwu's sleeve.

Zhao Wuwu looked down at her, the little girl's face was as white as paper, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, trickling down.

"Don't be afraid, big brother will tell you a story!" Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "I'll tell you the story of a legendary teenager." A long time ago, there was a young man who was born rich and noble, and he didn't worry about food or clothing since he was a child. But he was sick, a terminal illness that could not be cured in any way. The disease brought out of the mother's womb, no matter how good the doctor is, is helpless. ”

"A few times, he almost fell ill to death, but he survived with a breath in his chest. Niu'er, you have to be like this teenager, learn to survive, you must live well, only by living can people change their fate. ”

The little girl's lips were pale, "Big brother, what happened later?" ”

Later, in order to prove that he was not a sick man, the boy studied hard. When others spend an hour practicing calligraphy, he uses two hours, and no matter what he does, he is more willing to spend time than others. When others are sleeping, he is studying hard, and when others are eating and drinking, he never leaves his books. At the age of nine, she has become famous in the capital and has become one of the best young talents at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which impresses everyone. ”

"But Niu'er, no one saw his efforts, only his fame. But even so, it is enough to prove that the sick seedlings are not useless. In addition to taking medicine and recuperating, he can do a lot of things. What others can do, he can do better. Zhao Wuwu hugged the little girl in his arms tightly, "Do you understand what the big brother means?" ”

The little girl nodded, "Big brother, are you talking about yourself?" ”

Zhao Wuwu let out a long breath, "Yes." So you have to be good, even if you have one less arm than others in the future, you have to live bravely. We don't live for others, we live for ourselves. No one will be sad because of the loss of you, whether it hurts or not, only we know it, so we have to be stronger. Niu'er, you are still young, and the days are still long. ”

"You think about the sick people, they want to live, but they don't have a chance, but you still have a chance. Because you escaped, as long as you survive this hurdle, you can live, hear what I say? ”

The little girl had closed her eyes, and it seemed that there was only breath left.

"Review, you should hurry up!" Zhao Wuwu was anxious, "What else are you rubbing?" ”

Wen Gu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he was quickly treating the child's wound, re-medicated the broken wound, and forcibly stopped the bleeding with a silver needle, as long as the girl was no longer excited and struggling, the bleeding was stopped.

If the child moves again and the wound keeps cracking, then this life will not be recovered.

"Big brother, if I die, will my mother come to pick me up?" The little girl leaned on Zhao Wuwu's arms and asked with her eyes closed.

Zhao Wuwu couldn't hide her excitement, she never thought that one day a child would die in her arms, if it wasn't for saving her, Niu'er might not be like this, let alone on the verge of death.

"Listen, Niu'er, there are no ghosts in this world, and there are no gods and Buddhas in the sky, if there were, they should have come to save you a long time ago when they saw you in such pain. So you don't have to believe that, you have to believe in yourself, you have to believe in the big brother, do you hear? Zhao Wuwu's voice trembled, "Niu'er, if you want to live, only by living, can you go to study and write, and can you understand like a big brother?" ”

The little girl nodded, "Niu'er remembers—Niu'er has to be like a big brother." ”

The sound fell, and there was no more sound.

Zhao Wuwu panicked, "Reminiscence!" Reminiscence! She shouted twice, "Look at it, why didn't she speak?" ”

Wen Gu hurriedly buckled the little girl's wrist vein, and then probed the child's snort, "Fortunately, I'm still alive, but I fainted in pain." Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, he realized that Zhao Wuwu's face was pale, not much different from the girl who had fainted.

"You take it easy, put the girl down slowly, and just lie flat on the bed. It's okay! Wen deliberately lowered his voice and patted Zhao Wuwu's shoulder gently, "Don't be nervous, she's not dead, she just fainted in pain!" You did very well! It's really good! ”

Zhao Wuwu looked at him with a pale face, only then did he regain consciousness slightly, and slowly put the child back on the bed with great care. Looking at the child's immature face, she forgot a very important thing, that is, Niu'er was infected with the plague.

Now that I think about it, it seems a little too late.

When Zhao Wuwu got up, he looked at the blood stains on his body with a slightly nervous face, which was all Niu'er's blood. Heart, fluttering and beating hard, Zhao Wuwu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I-I'll leave it to you here, I, I'll go first!" ”

With that, she snatched the door out.

Asked Ah Fang for a set of clean clothes, and then asked him to fetch a bucket of water, Zhao Wuwu washed his hands in the bucket, and then burned the blood-stained clothes on the spot.

Looking at the flames rising from his clothes, Zhao Wuwu's heart was complicated.

When did she learn to care about the lives and deaths of others? What if it's a child? In the eyes of outsiders, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, she has a bright future, so no matter what, her life should be more precious than Niu'er.

Ah Fang turned his head to look at the silent Zhao Wuwu, feeling a little strange in his heart, "Who are you, I feel that you know a lot." ”

Zhao Wuwu said, "There are some things that are still rare and confused." ”

"Can you really cure the plague?" Ah Fang asked.

Zhao Wuwu shook his head, "I can't cure the plague, but I can control the plague as much as possible." This plague came in a strange way, so I have reason to suspect that it was a man-made plague. Like the strange man you call him, let me ask you, where did his wounds come from? Let me ask you again, this Yangliu Village is in the middle of nowhere, how did he get here? ”

"According to you, how could he have escaped here alone with such a serious injury? And the prefect Wang Weiyong seems to know something, he didn't come to Yangliu Village to save people, but to find people and kill people. Comprehensive rules and regulations, I think the root cause of this plague should be Wang Weiyong. ”

As if remembering something, Zhao Wuwu pursed his lips and stared, "Do you know that Wang Weiyong has any special habits?" ”

"What do you mean by a special fetish?" Ah Fang glanced at the dog, the two of them were born in the countryside, and they really didn't know what Zhao Wuwu was talking about.

Zhao Wuwu made an analogy, "For example, abusing others, or being a longyang habit, or liking to put people to death." ”

"I haven't heard of it!" Ah Fang shook his head.

"Then do you know that before the plague broke out, there were some unusual things that happened in the nearby villages, or Pinglin City? For example, people are lost, or outsiders often pass through here. And so on, and so on. Zhao Wuwu said meaningfully.

The dog said suddenly, "It's just that over the years, there have always been people in the nearby villages who have gone missing, and then they have gone to the prefect's yamen and have no whereabouts." It won't be long before you find the dead faces of those people in the mountains or on the ridges—"

Speaking of this, Ah Fang also remembered, "Yes, I went to see it quietly with the dog, and these people died very miserably." The corpse was incomplete, either the arm was ulcerated, or the heart, liver, intestines, lungs and kidneys on the body were lost. Some were also gnawed by wild dogs and wolves, and in the end, the prefect's yamen did not have a letter, and they were all gone. ”

"But the prefect also did a good thing later, and now I think about it really feels terrifying." The dog swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then lowered his voice and said, "The prefect has issued an order, if such a thing happens again, the family of the deceased can go to the yamen to receive a pension, which should be funeral expenses, in order to comfort the people's grievances." ”

Ah Fang nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's what I said at the time." Everyone is dead, and we ordinary people have no way, so if we have money, we can get it, so we can buy a coffin. ”

"Do you know where these dead bodies are buried now?" Zhao Wuwu asked hurriedly.

Ah Fang was stunned, "Many of them are in the woods in the west, because they died too miserably, and the family was afraid of bad luck, so they were all buried there." Some don't even dare to erect a monument, so they just pile up a small earthen bag as a marker! ”

Zhao Wuwu's eyes were gloomy, "Then the people who have come into contact with these people, can they have symptoms of the plague?" ”

"Not really." The dog shook his head, "It used to be normal, but this time the strange man died, and there is now the plague." ”

"What are you suspecting?" Ah Fang was puzzled.

"I suspect that the same person who killed those people was the same person who killed this strange man." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his dangerous eyes, "Who is so ruthless and keeps killing people in a row?" Or maybe he's looking for something in these people! ”

She wondered, if these bodies were still there, if the coffin was opened for an autopsy—would there be an unexpected gain?
