When Lin Feng, who was guarding in front of the city gate, heard Ji Liren's secret signal on the city gate, he immediately asked the guards who were standing aside and were about to fall asleep to open the door.

After opening the city gate, when he saw that Sui Ge and Ji Liren had each brought a child, Linfeng was surprised.

"Linfeng, drive our carriage over, and the coachman will stay at the inn." Ji Liren lightly commanded this, and Linfeng took the order, turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Sui Ge caught him and said a few words in his ear, and Linfeng glanced at the two children more, and then flew in the direction of the post station with light skills.

The two children smacked their tongues, and Xu was out of the city and relaxed a lot, and the two of them chatted excitedly.

Sui Ge and Ji Liren stood aside, and they didn't intend to stop it, so they went with their sister and brother.

The guard stood up straight at this point, and did not dare to say anything. These two are more noble than the county officials, how dare he make any mistakes.

"Are you from this city?"

Suddenly, Sui Song looked at the guard and asked lightly.

The guard replied sweatily, "Yes...... Yes, my lord. ”

Sui Ge continued to ask, "You are not sick?" ”

The guard didn't dare to hide it, and replied sincerely: "No, the villain's family moved out of the city early when they heard the rumors, and the family hid in relatives in other towns to live. ”

"Rumors? What rumors? "Twist your eyebrows with the song.

The guard recalled for a moment before he said: "Originally, this disease was not so bad, but I heard that many people in Anping County suddenly got sick and vomited and pulled. Originally, Linjiang City was not big, Anping County was at the foot of the mountain behind the city, and later heard that a few people in Anping County ran to the center of the city, and they bit when they saw people, and there were rumors that if they were bitten, they would become the same as them, and many people in the city didn't even have time to clean up at that time, so they ran out of Linjiang City. The people who didn't leave later seemed to be really infected, and then the government closed the city. The guard licked his lips, "That's all the villain knows......"

Sui Ge nodded, glanced at Ji Liren, and Ji Liren took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it in the hands of the guard.

The guard thanked him again and again and put it away.

Sui Ge said lightly: "I just asked you about this, just forget it." ”

"The little one understands, the little one understands!" The guards nodded their heads again and again.

But after a while, Linfeng really came in a carriage. Sui Ge asked the guards to go back to the post station to eat first, and then come here to watch the night after they were finished, and at the end, he stuffed two ingots of silver into him, and instructed him not to take the initiative to tell Xu Xingzhi's two children, just don't know.

The guards were afraid to sing with them, not to mention it, for fear that they would not dare to say a word. At this time, seeing that they repeatedly stuffed money, I was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Lin Feng suddenly remembered something, took out something from his arms, and handed it to Suige: "Xu Zhizhou said that this thing was put down by a man in black who appeared inexplicably, and said that he would give it to Lord Suige." Xu Zhizhou didn't dare to slack off, and collected it on his behalf, but before he could ask anything, the person disappeared. ”

Ji Liren frowned and spit out a few words: "Bai Yutang? ”

Sui Song nodded, "Eighty percent is." ”

When I opened the sackcloth, there was a small porcelain bottle, no more than two or three times the size of my thumb. Sui Ge looked at the bottle curiously for a while, but didn't find anything special, the surface was ordinary carving.

When I opened the cork with the lid on the bottle, I was greeted by a fragrant smell. Sui Ge looked into the bottle and found that there were only three slightly larger black pills inside.

"Medicine?" Ji Liren couldn't figure out Bai Yutang's thoughts.

Sui Song was silent, and finally put the porcelain bottle back in the cloth bag and stuffed it into the dark compartment of the clothes on his chest.

Lin Feng and Ji Liren carried the two children into the carriage, only to find that the carriage had already placed several dinners, as well as a large bag of dry food and water. The two children hadn't eaten hot food in a long time, and after nodding their heads along with the song, the two gobbled it up.

Lin Feng watched from the sidelines, and felt pity for them: "How long have you not eaten?" ”

Xilai stuffed a chicken leg in his mouth and said vaguely: "We haven't eaten since my mother died...... These days, I only dare to sneak out at night to find something to eat, and I don't dare to make a fire...... Eat whatever you find......"

When the three adults heard this, their hearts jumped at the same time.

Two children, it's not easy.

When the two sisters had eaten and drunk enough, Sui Ge let them sleep in the carriage. Linfeng got out of the carriage, walked to Sui Ge and Ji Liren, and listened to Sui Ge's instructions:

"Tonight, you help me take care of these two sisters and brothers, pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities or lesions in their bodies, as long as you find that the situation is not right, abandon the car and return to the post station, martial law."

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "It shouldn't be, right?" ”

Even if it were, it would be too cruel for these two siblings, right?

Sui Ge looked at Linfeng and said lightly: "Infectious diseases are different from ordinary diseases, if they are really sick people, maybe we are infected with germs now." If it infects other healthy people, it is not just as pitiful for those people. ”

Linfeng's face changed, and he suddenly realized.

"Children are different from adults, they have a quick onset after being infected, and the lesions are obvious, so you pay attention to their situation tonight." Sui Ge glanced at the carriage more.

Lin Feng clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

After a while, he realized something, and asked more: "Then you and the general are not here tonight?" ”

Sui Song looked at Ji Liren, his eyes shining: "Your general will accompany me to catch fast tonight." ”

Ji Liren raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

The night is as cool as water.

Sui Ge went back to the post station with Ji Liren just now, and asked the officials and Xu Zhizhou one by one, and the information he got was relatively official:

The disease came suddenly, and the source was unknown. It is only known that a few cases were found in Anping County at the foot of the mountain at the beginning, and later they were also found in Linjiang City. The disease seems to be contagious, and more than half of the county in Anping County will soon be infected, followed by Linjiang City. Some of them fled Linjiang City early and did not find any illness, while most of the rest who remained in the city fell ill.

The sick person vomits and diarrhea, has a pale face, no energy, no appetite, and likes to drink water. A few days after being infected, some patients foam at the mouth and have expressionless faces, and then bite when they encounter people, and some patients have a tendency to kill people and other injuries.

When Sui Ge asked them if they had sent someone to find out the cause, they were all hesitant.

"They didn't check." Ji Liren pursed his lips, his face was not good-looking.

As a parent official, he did not thoroughly investigate the cause of the epidemic at all, delayed the illness, and finally locked down the whole process. It's just the case with human life.

Sui Ge has been silent and has not spoken.

After a long while, she frowned and said, "At least I know it's not a plague." And I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Where??"

Sui Ge shook his head, "I can't say it for the time being, intuition." ”

Ji Liren raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly, he saw fireworks rising behind the walls. Smoke rose slowly in the moonlight, and a little fire could be faintly seen on the side of the city wall. Ji Liren immediately notified the officers and soldiers of the post station, but was surprised to find that they were not used to seeing each other at all.

Xu Xingzhi rubbed his hands back and forth, and explained diligently: "It is estimated that there are dead people in the city again." Whenever someone died, they would pile up some firewood by the walls and burn the corpse. There was a catcher in this city who was in our former office, and after this happened, he took the initiative to stay in the city. I talked to him before the lockdown, and he would be responsible for organizing the sick people who were still alive in the city, and try to gather people in the city and county together so that they could find out how the disease was changing. ”

"Where did you ask him to focus on his sick numbers?"

Xu Xingzhi didn't think about it, and immediately returned: "It's in the city." ”

In this way, it is convenient to give them supplies or something, and if the situation worsens, it is really necessary to deal with them...... It's still easier to get together.

City?

Sui Ge remembered that after entering the city, he didn't think that there were still people living in the city, but there was fire and smoke in the direction of the foot of the mountain.

If this head catcher did not concentrate people in the city according to Xu Xingzhi's request, what was the reason? Why go to the other side of the mountain?

And the group of people who are looking for Xilai and Sansheng, are they the people led by the headhunter? If the sick numbers are all caught in the mountains and centrally managed, why do you have to arrest these normal-looking children from Xilai?

The more I thought about it, the deeper my brows wrinkled.

"There's no point in thinking too much." Ji Liren's fingers lightly tapped between Sui Ge's eyebrows, helping her smooth her brows, "I know you want to go in tonight to check, I'll accompany you." The problem will always be solved. ”

Sui Song nodded.

Before leaving the post station, she looked deeply at the lights of the post station, and said lightly in Ji Liren's arms: "Did you find out just now, there are more armed officials, and some wooden and flat arrows have been brought one after another. ”

Ji Liren's expression was deep, he looked down at Sui Ge, and said, "The worst plan, I'm afraid you really guessed it." ”

If the epidemic cannot be controlled, the government will kill people.

The two of them bypassed the gate on the side of the wind this time and came to the city wall of the river channel, which happened to have a few haystacks outside the city wall. Looking east from the balcony of this teahouse, you can see four or five people standing in front of a large pile of flames at the city gate, and you can vaguely see the gray and black shadows of corpses in the flames.

"There weren't many people. I'm one and you're four, okay? Thinking of her internal injuries, she still had some pain when she ran a little just now, she still didn't want to be reckless, and let Ji Liren take care of the big head.

Ji Liren grinned and said, "It's better for me to be five, you are zero?" With that, his body flashed, and he disappeared. When I saw him again, he had already fallen in front of the campfire. After a few moves, all five of them fell.

Sui Song snorted lightly: "Don't take me over, let me go that far." ”

It had been a long time since Sui Ge slowly walked to the bonfire, and Ji Liren looked at Sui Ge who was strolling and raised his eyebrows: "Are you taking a walk?" ”

Sui Ge asked with rare humor, "Are you in a hurry for the cave room?" ”

Ji Liren was stunned, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "If you want, you're in a hurry." ”

Tsk, this general has been taught badly, is this the rhythm of making yellow jokes?

Sui Ge looked at the few men who were lying on the ground moaning/groaning, and asked lightly, "I was going to arrest those two children just now, but you?" ”
