Chapter 399: Meeting in a Different Country
Wen Yuxin's long journey, Jiang Xinyi realized that she had really fallen into it. It seems that there is a cat scratching in my heart, and I feel so uncomfortable.
Early the next morning, the shopkeeper of the "medicine" material shop personally sent Jiang Xinyi the "medicine" materials from a large carriage that had just entered the capital. Because she knew that she ordered this batch of goods, not because she heard the news of the plague and hoarded goods waiting to make a fortune, but to help those who really needed it.
Therefore, the shopkeeper of this "medicine" material shop only collected the payment according to the purchase price.
Jiang Xinyi counted the things to bring, and set off with An Pengfei and the others.
Along the way, Jiang Xinyi, who likes to joke, became mute for the first time, locking her eyebrows and not speaking.
Jiang Yulang, An Pengfei and Xizi all whispered to comfort her, saying that it was okay, and the prince would be fine. Jiang Xinyi refused to admit it with a hard mouth, saying that she was not worried about that person at all.
The convoy drove overnight, only occasionally giving the horses a break, and then continuing on their way. Finally arrived at the area where the plague broke out on the fourth day.
Jiang Xinyi asked the entourage to wear masks, which she asked Xiaoping to make overnight, and there were hundreds.
At the outermost part of the plague outbreak site, there were soldiers with veils covering their faces guarding them, Jiang Yulang stepped forward to explain the situation, and then let them go, anyway, the order given to them by the top was to only enter, not to leave.
It has been explained to those who want to enter that there is a plague inside, and if those who come still insist on entering, do not be embarrassed.
The convoy passed through several layers of checkpoints, and when it went inside, it began to see a miserable scene.
At the entrance of each village, soldiers led the uninfected people to dig pits, pour lime into them, and put the dead in for burial. It is rare to see a coffin, because there are too many dead people, where to put so many coffins, and the weather is too warm, so I don't dare to let the deceased rest for three days, or ask Mr. Feng Shui to pick the day of burial.
Along the way, Jiang Xinyi left some food and "medicine" materials, and when she arrived in the big town, she didn't see Wen Yuxin's figure. Looking for a good inn, An Pengfei asked Jiang Xinyi to rest first, and then went out to find out where Wen Yuxin was.
Jiang Yulang went to contact the people of the government, and Xizi and the guys who came with him sorted out and took care of the "medicine" materials, food, and silver on the car.
Jiang Xinyi took a nap with her clothes and got up and went to the street. Looking at this big town, it was originally a very prosperous place, but now, the streets are full of lifelessness, and from time to time I see people carrying corpses wrapped in cloth to the burial sites designated by the government.
People seemed to be numb, and there was little wailing to be seen. The officers and men went from house to house for fear of missing out on those who died of illness at home but no one knew about it.
Jiang Xinyi looked at the orderly scene, and couldn't help but admire the official this time, this is definitely a good official!
She was spinning when she suddenly saw a person in front of her fall to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Thank you, Childe." The person who was helped up by Jiang Xinyi raised his head to thank Jiang Xinyi, but the veil covering his face slipped down. The festering on the man's face startled Jiang Xinyi.
"Childe, please stay away from me, so as not to get infected." The "woman" took a few steps back in a panic and said to Jiang Xinyi.
"You should go to the hospital when you're sick, why are you still walking around and don't see the notice?" Jiang Xinyi frowned and asked.
"Childe, please treat me as if you didn't see me, I'm going to be isolated, and the two dolls and my mother-in-law will starve to death." The "woman" pouted and knelt on the ground begging Jiang Xinyi.
"Don't talk about it yet, take me to see it." Jiang Xinyi stepped forward and hugged her and said.
The "woman" hurriedly re-blindfolded the company, fearing that it would infect others, and second, fearing that it would be forcibly taken away by officers and soldiers. She led Jiang Xinyi into a courtyard in a circle, turned around and closed the courtyard door.
"Mother, I'm so hungry." The people in the inner room heard the sound of the courtyard door and ran out, it was a pair of very cute little girls, twins, about four or five years old.
"Big sister, little sister, don't come here, forgot what my mother said?" The woman shouted angrily.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, let's die together." The one who walked out of the house with the sound was a blind mother-in-law. The two children hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the "milk" and "milk", and looked at Jiang Xinyi and their mother pitifully with their eyes.
Jiang Xinyi now understands why this "woman" refuses to go to the quarantine place for treatment, she is not worried about leaving this blind mother-in-law and her two children.
"I'm sorry mother, my daughter-in-law is useless, I didn't get food." The woman was very guilty, and suddenly fainted to the ground.
"Mother." The two children let go of the "milk" and "milk" and wanted to run over.
"Big sister, little sister, take care of 'milk' and 'milk', don't come over." After Jiang Xinyi stopped the two children, she stepped forward to check on the "woman", but she just fainted, not out of breath, so she vigorously set up the "woman", got her into the house, and put her on the bed.
"Mother-in-law, don't come over when you look at the two children, I'll call someone to help." Jiang Xinyi said to her mother-in-law at the door.
"Childe, although I am blind in my eyes, I know that you are a good person, I beg you, old woman, don't call someone here, don't worry about us. If the officers and soldiers called, they would have dragged her away and burned her alive. The old woman begged in Jiang Xinyi's direction.
"Mother-in-law, who did you listen to, burn the sick to death?" Jiang Xinyi asked puzzled.
"Don't hide it from my son, I experienced this plague once when I was young, and the court was afraid that it would not be able to control the epidemic, so it ordered the officers and soldiers to push the infected people into a big pit and burn them alive. It was only a few years ago that my son went out on business and died in a foreign country, and my eyes were blinded by crying. Therefore, I beg my son-in-law to do well, don't call someone, maybe my daughter-in-law will survive with a great life. The old woman said in horror.
I completely forgot that there were two little granddaughters beside me, and they were already shaking with fear.
"Mother-in-law, I don't know what happened before, but the current emperor is a Ming monarch, and he will definitely not give an order to do such an exterminating thing. The person who came this time was Yu Wangye, and he was not such a cruel person. Mother-in-law, please believe me, even for the sake of these two children, can you bear to let them go to Huangquan at a young age? Jiang Xinyi patiently explained.
"This, this, okay, I'll trust you once, old woman." The old woman rubbed the heads of the two granddaughters beside her, compromised, and stepped aside to make way for her.
"Thank you mother-in-law for your trust, I'll be back soon." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she strode out, for fear of delaying the time, the mask was a little stewed, and she didn't wear it when she went to the street.
As soon as Jiang Xinyi arrived on the street and wanted to ask where the isolation and treatment place was, she saw a group of people walking in the distance, led by the person she missed, Wen Yuxin.
"Why are you here?" After Wen Yuxin saw Jiang Xinyi, her face was first surprised, and then she immediately changed her face and asked angrily.
Seeing that he murdered himself, Jiang Xinyi was a little aggrieved, but now was not the time to fight with him.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, there's a patient over there who needs treatment." Jiang Xinyi pulled Wen Yuxin's sleeve and ran to the "woman's" house.
Xiao Li behind Wen Yuxin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed. I thought, this master, it's really interesting, the prince dares to follow wherever he goes, and he is really not afraid of death?
Actually, Wen Yuxin was really happy to see her, she hadn't seen her for a few days, and her heart was empty. However, the epidemic is so serious here that this is not the place she should come! That's why he couldn't help but get angry, and he didn't have a big throat fire on her for a long time.
Who knew that she was not angry with herself, and she also held her hand, Wen Yuxin's heart was suddenly warm, and she regretted why she was angry with her.
After arriving in the small courtyard, Wen Yuxin ordered someone to carry the "woman" away and send her to the quarantine area for treatment. He asked someone to take out the mattress and quilt from the bed on which the woman had just been lying and burn it.
Jiang Xinyi assured the blind mother-in-law that the child's mother would come back soon, and then + passionately told them that she would send food later. Then he and Wen Yuxin left.
"You're coming alone? Jiang Yulang, they don't care? Where do you live now? When did it arrive? After leaving the hospital, Wen Yuxin asked Jiang Xinyi a lot of questions.
Liu Jun and the others hurriedly took people out of the distance, and they had no choice about the relationship between the prince and this Jiang Gongzi.
"You interrogator, I'm hungry and refuse to answer." Jiang Xinyi raised her eyebrows defiantly and said.
Wen Yuxin really had no choice but to quickly lead her into a small noodle restaurant. While ordering noodles, Jiang Xinyi asked the store to make three more bowls of noodles, and then asked Xiao Li to send them to the blind mother-in-law's house first.
They are still hungry, how can Jiang Xinyi eat!
"Let's just order it, the plague has caused the restaurants to close, and I'll invite you to eat when I go back to the capital." Wen Yuxin watched her eat a bowl of green vegetable noodles and said.
"Cut, I still need you to invite me back to the capital?" Jiang Xinyi rolled a pinch of noodles with chopsticks, and ate it when she finished speaking.
"Is there any difficulty now?" After Jiang Xinyi pulled down a bowl of noodles, she looked up and asked.
"There are not enough 'medicine' materials, because of the closure, there is not even enough food now." Wen Yuxin twisted her eyebrows and said.
"We've pulled a few carts of 'medicine' materials, but I don't know if it's the kind we need here. There is also food, which should be able to save the emergency. The rest is not enough, there is also silver, you can send someone out to procure it, how about it, let's be interesting enough, still murder me, hum. Jiang Xinyi said triumphantly.
"Really? Great, it's a godsend. Wen Yuxin did not hide her excitement at all.
"But there's one thing you have to be careful about." Jiang Xinyi whispered and said to Wen Yuxin very mysteriously.
"Say something." Wen Yuxin saw that she was so serious, and asked seriously.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that among the silver I brought this time, there is a batch of treasury silver, which is inconvenient to disclose, so let you find a way to charge it into the disaster relief money you brought to use it, as if you brought it, how about it?" Jiang Xinyi said with a smile.
"You can't steal it from the vault, right?" Wen Yuxin asked as she felt a cold sweat on her forehead.
"Where do you think I'm going to be, who am I, and can I do that? This is the disaster relief money that Jiang Shiqian's old thief embezzled last time, and I just helped him return this time. Jiang Xinyi glanced at Wen Yuxin and said.
"What? Could it be that you went back to your mother's house to live for this? Wen Yuxin gasped and asked.
