The next day, Zhu Hongyu got up early. The continuous sound of wooden fish in the night is very rhythmic, and he still sings as before. After listening, Zhu Hongyu left silently with her things on her back.

There were not a single pedestrian on the way to the city, and there were some rotting dead bodies on the side of the road. Mostly dead cows, dead sheep, and of course, people......

It's the same as in a horror movie.

From Taohua Village to Yunmeng Town, you have to walk sixteen miles, there are no mountain roads, they are all flat official roads, and you will definitely be able to reach it after walking for an hour and a half.

The trees on the side of the road, overgrown with thorns, are thriving. And there are no pedestrians on the road, and it looks terrifying.

The closer you get to Yunmeng Town, the more corpses there are, and the city gates are wide open, and the city gates are unattended.

Zhu Hongyu remembered that Jiang Zaiyu, who she had diagnosed and treated, was like a military general, and his status was not low.

The leaders of the army all went to Peach Blossom Town to escape the plague, let alone others.

After entering the gate of Yunmeng Town, there were low bungalows on both sides, and the houses were locked, and it seemed that there was no one.

Zhu Hongyu and her parents came to Yunmeng Town to catch the market a few years ago, and she followed her memory to the most prosperous street in Yunmeng Town - "Vermilion Bird Street".

Only then did I see pedestrians in twos and threes, all wearing long clothes and long sleeves, with cloth scarves around their mouths, just like her.

"Eggs, sell eggs!"

Zhu Hongyu looked at few people around, and she was not timid, she didn't dare to speak in front of a large number of people since she was a child, but now there are few people, but she is very bold.

In the middle of the day, everyone who walked on the street cautiously stepped forward.

"Oh my God, this is really a raw egg! How did it come about? ”

"I'm a villager nearby, and the eggs are twenty dollars a piece. I still have moxa, to ward off the plague gods. A penny of silver. ”

Zhu Hongyu didn't have many goods, but the price stunned the people around her.

This price...... Some are expensive.

But the inhabitants of the city soon understood the fact that the plague was not over, there were fewer and fewer people, and the egg sellers might never come again.

"Little girl, bring me ten eggs. Ten moxa sticks. ”

A sturdy man was revealed in the crowd, holding a tael of silver in his hand and a bamboo basket in the other.

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly counted ten eggs and put them in the man's basket, then took out the moxa sticks from the jar and handed them to the man.

When the people around saw that the man had bought ten eggs in one go, they all donated their money.

Or buy one, or buy five, or just buy moxa, and within half an hour, Vermilion Yu's eggs were sold out.

In the afternoon, she sold four and a half pieces of silver!

Zhu Hongyu was really stunned, she didn't think that she would make so much money! This is equivalent to a year's ration for a family of four in Taohua Village.

After selling her things, Zhu Hongyu wandered around the city aimlessly with a shabby basket on her back. She remembered that Runye told her that there were not many incense sticks and that she needed to go to the city to buy them, but she saw a bookstore open on Suzaku Street.

I don't want other shops to open their doors, but the windows and doors of this bookstore are wide open, as if they are not afraid of the plague at all.

It was still early, and Zhu Hongyu walked into this bookstore. There are all kinds of books on the shelves, not to mention the subset of classics and histories, as well as agricultural and industrial encyclopedias, novels and miscellaneous books.

Walking between the bookshelves, Zhu Hongyu was full of curiosity. She didn't know too many things in this era, only that just like ancient China, there were emperors, ministers, and imperial examinations.

Coming to the history book area, a copy of "Hua Dynasty Zhengde Tongjian" attracted Zhu Hongyu. In her remaining memory, it is now the Zhengde period, and the coins are also printed with the pattern of "Zhengde".

During the Chinese New Year this year, my mother also said that this year is the "thirty-second year" of Zhengde, and I hope that the new year will be better.

"In the Chinese Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, the first emperor died. Testament. The crown prince ascended the throne at the age of 20 and changed his name to Zhengde ......"

In this way, the emperor was fifty-two years old, which was the average age in ancient times. Zhu Hongyu flipped through a large stack of books until the twenty-year of Zhengde stopped.

"In the twentieth year of Zhengde, the national teacher invited Tian's grace and returned to his hometown with his wife, but the journey was unexpected. The whereabouts of his son are unknown. ”

Wait, there are still national teachers in this era? Awesome.

"In the thirtieth year of Zhengde, a plague broke out in Qiongzhou, and the people fled. So the whole country went through many plagues...... The emperor counted his own edicts, but the plague did not stop. ”

This plague has really come to an end, and it has been more than two years. In this way, their family was not bad, and they struggled for two years, and finally exhausted all their silver before leaving the world.

"Little girl, what books do you need?"

Zhu Hongyu heard someone next to her calling her, put down Tongjian, and smiled at the person.

"I just read a book. Are you a store owner? ”

"Yes." The white-haired old man saw that Zhu Hongyu's clothes were shabby, not like she could read, and he was afraid that she would destroy the books.

"Where's the medical book?"

The old man walked to a bookshelf with Vermilion and said, "These." ”

Zhu Hongyu had to glance at it, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" was there, and she hadn't heard of the rest of the books.

For the entire discipline of Chinese medicine, there is no need to worry about anything else with "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", such a general treatise is sprinkled and can write a lot of things.

In general, the level of medicine in this era is very average.

Near the medical books, there is a book called "Aromatic Medicine". She had never read a book about "incense".

"This book is about how to make perfumes and the craft of making incense. Is the little girl interested? Incense medicine is expensive. ”

Zhu Hongyu took the book and probably flipped through it, which talked about how to make incense and incense, and the author said a lot with a stroke of the pen.

"Buy it, there's nothing to do."

Walking out of the bookstore, Zhu Hongyu felt a lot more relaxed, and asked the people on the street, where the incense shop was, it turned out that it was also on Suzaku Street.

Incense is spread on the north side of the bookstore, with a pharmacy and a restaurant in between.

There are no more customers in the restaurant, and there are still some people in the pharmacy, and the business of the incense shop is much better than that of these shops.

Since the plague, the incense shop has been completely on fire, unlike other industries where a hundred flowers have withered. After all, the level of medical care is too poor, and the masses believe that the plague is caused by the plague god. So much so that worshipping the Buddha and praying to God is very happy.

There are many kinds of incense in the incense shop, which is not much different from that of later generations. Zhu Hongyu saw at a glance the incense that Runye usually burned, bought out the inventory, and put it in the back basket one by one.

Out of the incense shop, Zhu Hongyu's favorite thing to visit is the pharmacy. There are several commonly used medicines in Sanguan Temple that have bottomed out, and Runye has no time to come to the town to purchase.

Entering the pharmacy, Zhu Hongyu walked directly towards the owner of the pharmacy who was drinking tea.

"Boss, ten catties of licorice, ten catties of vinegar Changshan, five catties of black plum, and three catties of betel nut."

The owner who drank the tea put down the teacup and looked Zhu Hongyu up and down.

"What kind of recipe is this? Also for malaria? ”

Zhu Hongyu looked at the boss, her eyes were a little strange, this is the malaria pill prescription on the "Miasma Malaria Guide", which is used when malaria is not onset. Only then did I remember that this recipe was estimated to have not yet been born in this era.

"It's not a malaria cure, it's a malaria cut. When the disease is not on, it should be taken with wine. ”

The boss grabbed the medicine for Zhu Hongyu according to the order, because this recipe was not popular, and only Changshan's medicine was more expensive. The rest of the medicines were at the usual price, which really made Zhu Hongyu breathe a sigh of relief.

The road from Yunmeng Town to Peach Blossom Village was not smooth. It was still early, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly carried her things on her back and went to the official road, and the dead bodies along the way had already been cleaned up.

When she returned to Peach Blossom Village, it was twilight, the sky was still bright, and the sunset did not hesitate to sprinkle her warmth.

Sanguan Temple still left the door for Zhu Hongyu, and when she entered, Runye was still sitting in yesterday's position waiting, which really scared her a lot. Is this Runye a grudge against her?

"Dao, Dao, good evening!"

"It's not dark today, are you going to show me how round the sun is?"

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly shook her head and walked to Runye with a big back basket.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to the city without telling you, I wouldn't dare next time. I bought you a lot of incense sticks, can you see if they work? ”

Runye picked up a handful of incense sticks, although his face was still unhappy, but his heart was not as angry as before.

"If you have a little conscience, let's go."

"Where?"

"What do you say?"

Runye walked towards the back of the courtyard, and Zhu Hongyu suddenly realized that this was taking her to wash the incense...... Once again, she entered the room in the northwest corner, and she was really going to die of embarrassment.

Zhu Hongyu really wants to tell Runye to go out quickly, burning incense and chanting is useless, she is just washing! But...... It's really unspeakable. Forcibly enduring the embarrassment behind the screen, the old face turned red, and changed clothes.

Runye still didn't look at her like yesterday. Just as he was ordering incense, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly stopped: "Dao Chief, I will take a bath before I come back tomorrow, you don't have to be busy......

"Take a bath? Where to wash? ”

Zhu Hongyu thought for a while and said, "In the mountains, there are mountain springs in the mountains." ”

"The water of the mountain spring is a moist thing, women avoid cold, you are not afraid that it will hurt when you come to sunflower water."

Zhu Hongyu sighed and thought to herself...... Mom, this dog Taoist priest really dares to say anything, aren't the ancient people very reserved? Why is Runye not subtle at all!

"I ...... It never hurts. ”

Runye lit the incense, walked behind Zhu Hongyu, and said, "Do you want to make a bet to see if you still hurt this month?" ”

Zhu Hongyu felt the warm air in her ears hit her earlobes, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted.

Runye saw that Zhu Hongyu stopped talking, and began to recite the blessing. In fact, there were not a few words in the total, and after finishing the recitation, he put the incense in the incense burner and went out. Only Zhu Hongyu was left depressed to die.

Bet on whom, who's afraid of whom.

After burning incense and bathing, Zhu Hongyu cleaned up the mess after taking a bath, washed the bathrobe again, and hung it in the yard.

There is a reason why ancient people did not bathe often, and a large part of the reason is because of the cost. To boil water for bathing, firewood was not cheap in ancient times. When you take a bath, you can put some flowers and plants, and the cost is more expensive.

If you don't boil water and take a cool shower...... It's easy to get sick, not to mention, in the era when there are no antibiotics, you will die.

Zhu Hongyu was really tired, and it took most of her energy to take a shower. So I didn't eat dinner, put down the mosquito net and fell asleep. I vaguely heard Amber enter the door, and then read a book with the light on.

But she was in a daze and didn't wake up until the next morning, when Runye woke them up, Vermilion woke up with Amber.

Runye left without saying anything outside the door, Amber heard Runye's voice like a mouse seeing a cat, so she panicked and put on her clothes, and asked while putting on, "Sister, where did you go yesterday?" ”

Zhu Hongyu is not as flustered as Amber, after all, she doesn't learn things with Runye.

"Go into the city and sell things."

Amber was not in a hurry to wear it, and hurriedly took Zhu Hongyu's hand: "Sister, are you okay?" Are you uncomfortable? ”

Zhu Hongyu hurriedly shook her head and said, "I am in very good health, and I took a bath with five-spice soup when I came back yesterday, which is very enjoyable." It's okay at all. ”

"Don't talk about my sister, I got some cinnabar yesterday, and I'm busy."

Wait, cinnabar?
