The crowd was still walking inside, deaf to the event, as if unaware. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Fei also slowly walked into the city, where the wide official roads were sparsely populated, and a wisp of black cloth hung outside many shops.

"Please, please!"

The woman's eyes glistened with tears, she pleaded bitterly, even knelt down and kowtowed, and the basket of fresh vegetables fell to the ground.

The soldier was unmoved, and indifferently drew his iron saber and placed it around her neck.

"Enter, or you will be killed on the spot!"

The woman shuddered, got up, picked up the vegetable basket and walked back to the city step by step.

Xu Fei was carrying a package on his back, and the soldiers glanced at him casually, and then put him into the city.

He hurried to catch up with the woman, who was no more than forty years old, but her back was already bent, and her hands were full of wrinkles and calluses, and she looked like she had been working all year round.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Fei walked side by side with the women, and asked, he flew from the cities along the route to the hinterland of the Western Jin Dynasty overnight, and he didn't know anything about the things in this Long'an City, only that there was another person in the city who was concerned about the original will.

When the woman heard this, she looked up, and Xu Fei's tall figure caused her to look her head high in order to see his whole picture.

"I, I knew there was a plague in this city, and I didn't dare to come even if it was a hundred times the price!"

The woman's heart was filled with grief, and for a moment tears blurred her eyelids.

Xu Fei was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Plague? What's going on? ”

"We are all villagers in this mountain wilderness, a few days ago the city sent a notice, saying that ten times the price to buy our grain, our family is already poor, there is no food, I want to sell some vegetables grown in the field, who knows that this day did not say that the city is a plague! What should I do? ”

As the women walked, they burst into tears, their unclean cuffs rubbing their faces haphazardly.

Xu Fei was a little silent after hearing this, and the meaning of these words also revealed the purpose of the ruler of Long'an City clearly. It's nothing more than a plague in the city, and they don't dare to put the people in the city outside. You can only ask people from outside to bring food to the city.

But why not just say it? Or just let them put the food at the door and let the people inside take it in?

"Auntie, you take this, find a way to find a chance to go home, or stay here, and it's not too late to go home when the plague is over!"

Xu Fei took out half of his belongings from his bag, a few ingots of snow-white silver, enough for women to live in this city for more than a few months.

At the beginning of the period, the woman tried every means to excuse herself, but she couldn't resist Xu Fei's persuasion, and when she thought of the little cub in her family, she had to accept it with tears in her eyes.

Saying goodbye to the women, Xu Fei stayed at an inn two streets away from the town guard's mansion.

"Xiao Er, boil a bucket of hot water and send it to my room!"

Xu Fei paid the bill, looked around the store, in the well-decorated inn, there were few people, and the guest rooms were all empty, Xiao Er immediately responded loudly, and hurriedly asked the room to boil water.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Er came up with hot water one by one, and filled the half-human-high wooden barrel in a while.

"You stay, I'll ask you something, and it's yours after asking!"

Xu Fei casually threw a silver ingot, the price in the city was too high at this time, and the hotel actually accepted two silver ingots from him, a full twenty taels!

He didn't care, because in his perception, the person who was concerned about the original will was in the mansion of the town guard two streets away, and if it wasn't their relationship, wouldn't it be easy to take some money when they killed someone?

"Delle, you ask, I must know what I will say!"

Xiao Er's mouth and nose were also wrapped, and he spoke with a bit of an urn voice.

"What's the plague up with you guys here?"

Xu Fei didn't shy away from it, he took off only a pair of underwear, sat in the barrel and soaked it, and asked.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but according to our shopkeeper, this plague came strangely, a month ago, those powerful people in the city suddenly moved away, and there were less than half of the people left in the whole city, and then the plague suddenly appeared, and the deaths in the past month, it is estimated that there are less than ten percent of people now!"

Xiao Er said, although his words were very scary, but his tone was very stable.

"Oh? Are there any symptoms of this plague? ”

Xu Fei asked casually, but he was thinking in his heart that this plague was not naturally generated, it should be man-made!

Xiao Er thought back, he pointed to his face and replied with a hint of fear.

"Yes, just like the wind and cold, there is pus in the mouth and nose, coughing, and it usually bleeds after two days, and it will definitely die violently within five days! When he died, his nose and mouth were full of blood foam, and according to the original doctor, some even coughed up internal organs. ”

Xu Fei nodded, in his own universe, there were also many plagues in history, with different symptoms, which was nothing to pay attention to.

"And how is this plague contagious?"

"Contagion? Oh, the doctor said that it was similar to the wind and cold, so they asked us to wear this towel to cover our mouths and noses. ”

"Aren't you afraid? Dare to open the door for business? ”

Xiao Er laughed twice and rubbed his hands a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, I'm afraid, but anyway, we can't get out of the city, so it's better to make a profit on this opportunity, maybe I can still ask for a daughter-in-law after the plague has passed, and settle down in the city!"

"Makes sense, go down."

Xu Fei waved his hand, and Xiao Er took the silver ingot on the table and bowed out of the door.

"This plague is supposed to be a virus, spread through the air, and subtle pathogens fly into the respiratory tract, although the people of this world do not know what pathogens are, but it does not prevent them from being able to study this virus."

"From the dead, the sick, or the decomposing corpse, the virus can be synthesized, and it doesn't even need any high-tech equipment, it can be directly injected into the healthy human body at the beginning, and the effect of developing the virus can be achieved through the lesion!"

It is very clear that this matter is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one, and I am afraid that the plague in Long'an City was spread by the person in the mansion of the town guard.

"Let's rest first, and then go at night, if you kill it directly now, I'm afraid the plague will not be able to prevent it, and you have to tie the bell to the bell!"

Xu Fei ran around all night, and the aura in his body was close to exhaustion, so after washing up at the moment, he changed into clean clothes and sat up on the bed.

After the regular cultivation was over, it was already close to noon, and the medicinal power of the five grain pills in the body still provided nutrients, and the stomach did not feel hungry.

Mentally and physically exhausted, he slept with his clothes closed.

"Knock knock~"

Two crisp knocks on the door woke up Xu Fei from his sleep.

"Guest officer? Are you alright? I see you haven't been downstairs for a day, are you sick? ”

Xiao Er's voice came through the wooden door, Xu Fei lifted the quilt, only to find that it was dark, and his room was dark, so he got up and opened the door directly.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Er carried an oil lamp, and the dim candle flame illuminated his face a little terrifying, and only his eyes were on the outside of his whole face, looking like a villain who was going to commit murder at midnight.
