No one answered her, only one or two birdsong sounds, which seemed more empty and eerie.

Wanying's heart jumped and she ran into the backyard. She went straight to Xu's mother's room, as long as the person lived, Wanying thought to herself. But I was still afraid, although the weather was not hot in the early morning, Wanying's palms were sweaty and became slippery. Every step I took felt like I was stepping on a single-plank bridge, and her body was already very honest about her scared emotions. That instinctive retreat, repressed, but requires a strong will to overcome.

Wanying was already in front of Xu's mother's room, and she shouted, "Xu's mother, I'm back, are you inside?" ”

She couldn't wait for her to answer, she couldn't wait to push the door in. But I found that the door was locked from the inside!

Wanying hurriedly knocked on the door, knocking knock, as if using all her strength.

"Mother Xu, it's me, Wanying!"

Wanying couldn't help crying.

Another series of knocks. Bai Lu was already standing behind her. looked at her anxious appearance, but I didn't know if I wanted to bother.

Seeing that she kept knocking like this, he frowned and wanted to pull her away and tell her to try something else.

However, soon, not waiting for the white road action. Wanying stopped knocking on the door, but slammed on the door instead. Her thin body "banged" into it, as if she didn't feel any pain at all, and hit it several times in a row.

Bai Lu felt her resoluteness deeply, and hugged her just as she was about to collide again.

"I'll come."

Wan Ying looked at Bai Lu blankly, Bai Lu looked at the pair of black eyes, but felt that there were too many emotions in them: uneasy, scared, resolute and a little grateful, but like a wounded deer, people feel pity.

Bai Lu put Wanying down, then took two steps back, sighed, and bumped into it.

"Boom..."

The door opened.

As soon as the door opened, an indescribable smell came out.

Bai Lu hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and quickly pulled Wanying over with his other hand to prevent her from entering. Before he had time to think about it, he covered her nose and mouth with his hands.

Bai Lu is a practitioner, and his martial arts are excellent among the younger generation. The experience of fighting and killing for many years made him judge at once that the strange smell was the smell of death. That lingering smell after the corpse began to decompose. On a summer day like this, the corpse can't be put away for a day.

As soon as he jumped, he retreated with Wanying in his arms, and then jumped together, made a light effort, and flew out of the courtyard.

Wan Ying only had time to glance at it hurriedly, but with just one glance, half of the three souls and seven spirits were gone!

Mama Xu's body was stiff on the bed, lifeless, her face was covered with horrible acne, and it was the same on her hands and neck. Some have been scratched, pus-shedding, and scabbed. No piece of flesh is good.

The lingering pain and despair could still be seen on the frozen face.

It's only ten days!

How is it like this, people are caught off guard and can't be believed.

When I heard about the plague in Wenxian County, I only felt that I had to bring Xu Ma out, but I didn't expect that it was too late; I never thought that such a terrible epidemic would happen to my relatives.

Wanying's head was groggy, and the corners and corners of the familiar courtyard could have too many marks of Xu Ma.

The dried loofah and watermelon peel on the steps lay quietly, waiting for someone to collect it.

The broom leaned against the wall, its open hem untidy, telling of the countless times her user had rubbed it against the floor.

On the bamboo table under the camphor tree, there is a sewing box. Wanying remembered that Xu's mother still planned to buy a new pair of shoes for her, but she always had to come to the yard to do it when the sun was fine. Because of my bad eyes, I can't see clearly in the house.

Yes, Mother Xu is old, so she shouldn't be so hard anymore. A pair of shoes, I have earned so much silver, just go to Shengjing to buy a pair.

In the future, don't let Xu Ma always run around the kitchen, smoky and burning, it's good for everyone to go to the restaurant together.

Now, what's the use of thinking about it?

Bai Lu had already taken her out of Shuiyue Nunnery, and seeing her dull eyes, he thought that she had lost her relatives at a young age, and it was also pitiful. sighed.

Wanying is now depressed and at the mercy of others.

Bai Lu wanted to take her to the carriage and leave quickly. But Wanying suddenly narrowed her eyes, and suddenly seemed to come back to her senses.

She broke free of Bai Lu's arm and rushed in again. knelt down in front of Xu's mother's door and kowtowed three times.

Bai Lu naturally followed, he was worried that this girl would not be able to think about it for a while, and he was afraid that the qi in the room would infect her.

But she quickly got up again, brought firewood and straw from the firewood house and piled them up outside Xu's mother's house. Bai Lu also helped her.

"Is there a fire fold?"

Bai Lu suddenly heard her speak, and he didn't react for a while, so he paused for a moment. Then she hurriedly did as she said, and took out the fire fold from her bosom. A personal attendant, these are to be on hand.

With a sharp blow, the fire is lit, and the firewood is lit by the straw next to the house. The fire soon spread to the wind, burning to the doors, windows. Tongues of fire gradually engulfed the room, and the tiles crackled and fell.

From beginning to end, Wanying watched quietly, without saying a word or shedding a single tear. Bai Lu felt a little depressed.

I watched with her, wanting to comfort her, but I didn't know how to speak.

Wanying stood for a while, and finally took a step, and she went to the front of her house. The pigeon, which had been hungry for two or three days, was dying, and when he saw that his master had finally returned, he only moved lightly, and was already exhausted.

Wan Ying lifted the pigeon cage, and then looked at the burning house, the ink in her eyes was like a thick night that could not be dissolved, cold, extremely silent, and even formed a barrier, and the hot air could not get close.

Bai Lu drove away with Wanying and returned to Qiwuzhuang.

Murong Yu was also very busy. A large number of troops and doctors came to Wenxian and quickly isolated all the infected patients according to the previous plan. Imperial physicians and folk doctors began to study how to cure the disease.

The situation was far worse than Murong Yu had imagined. This fierce epidemic is like a flood of beasts, no one can stop it, and the death toll of the original few hundred people has quickly risen to 1,000.

Murong Yu's brows seemed to be unable to stretch all the time.

After returning, Bai Lu placed Wanying up, and then quickly reported it to Murong Yu.

However, he didn't have time to care about this little servant.

"But what is the cure?"

The imperial physicians and the doctors discussed for a morning, but they had never seen this epidemic, and the epidemic struck too quickly to save the patient. It's all at a loss for the time being.

This time, the Tai Hospital sent Cao Yuanju, who is younger and usually acts more aggressively. When it comes to such a risky errand, only he is willing to take it. But the medical skills are indeed excellent in the entire Tai Hospital, and they also rely on some real talents, so sometimes they are also proud of others.

He was the first to walk out, and he saw Murong Yu waiting outside. When he asked, he had to shake his head.

I'm afraid, this errand is quite difficult.
