Chapter 040: There Will Be Demons (1)
In the west of the city, Wu Pei, the county commander, at the suggestion of Situ Weiming, established a disaster camp here and sent heavy troops to guard it.
When Zhang Shuo came here, the first thing he saw was more than a dozen corpses full of arrows on the street, and the official beside him told him that these were people who had suffered from the plague who wanted to escape from the disaster camp.
Zhang Shuo saw that more than 20 heavy crossbows were densely erected on the walls on both sides of the street, and when the carriage of Zhang Shuo and others arrived, the crossbowmen on the wall obviously received orders and did not make any moves.
The camp is surrounded by walls more than two zhang high on three sides, and the only east side without a city wall is guarded by government soldiers, there are seven or eight streets like Zhang Shuo saw, and all the street entrances are equipped with heavy crossbows, without Wu Pei's order, anyone who wants to escape from the west of the city will be killed by direct arrows!
After a while, Zhang Shuo came to a very wide street, which was narrower than the street leading to the city gate from the south pier of the city, but it was enough to accommodate eight horses to pass through at the same time.
At this time, the streets were full of people, obviously, these were people who had the plague, and when Zhang Shuo saw these people for the first time, he was immediately startled.
To be honest, if it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, Zhang Shuo would have found it hard to believe that someone would have been able to survive after being so thin!
A series of words "skinny" and "skinny and bone" flashed through Zhang Shuo's mind, he had always thought that this kind of adjective had many exaggerated elements, how could anyone be thin except skin and bones?
But the person in front of him told him that this was the case, and Zhang Shuo even saw the depression between the ulna and the radius from some people's arms!
These people ...... How the hell did you survive!
Just when Zhang Shuo was stunned, the carriage of the yamen stopped at the wide street entrance, and several officials skillfully removed three huge wooden barrels from the carriage, lifted the lid of the wooden barrel, and inside was hot corn porridge.
When the wooden barrel hit the ground, Zhang Shuo saw that those people with numb expressions suddenly had a glow in their eyes, and then without the greetings of the officials, they rushed over, holding dirty pottery bowls in their hands, and surrounded the three wooden barrels inside and outside the three layers.
"Don't mess around!
When the people on the street had gathered around, the head of the squad led by the officials knocked on the edge of the barrel with a wooden stick, and shouted at the crowd, and suddenly the restless crowd fell silent.
"See, this is Doctor Zhang!" The team leader took two steps back, invited Zhang Shuo to the carriage, and then said, "This Doctor Zhang has excellent medical skills, and has an ancestral miracle medicine for curing the epidemic, you will have to go to Doctor Zhang to get the medicine after receiving the porridge later, do you know!"
"What?"
"True or false?"
......
As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, the crowd immediately exploded! Only then did someone discover that there were four more carriages coming today, and these four carriages were not filled with wooden barrels for soup kitchens, but a kind of blue vats with no discernible material.
Zhang Shuo nodded to the few officials behind him, and several officials immediately unloaded the eight plastic buckets from the carriage and placed them on the side of the wooden barrel of the soup kitchen.
The soup kitchen began, and it was evident that although the refugees were standing in a very disorderly manner, there was no scramble, and the stronger-looking people stood in the innermost layer of the crowd, and in the outermost layer were the old people who could not walk and some trembling children.
A tall man was the first to get a bowl of porridge, and when the servant of the porridge took back the wooden spoon, the big man swallowed the porridge in the bowl in two bites, and then stretched out his tongue to lick the pottery bowl from the inside out, and then retreated contentedly.
Compared to the porridge that is full of people, Zhang Shuo's side is full of people, maybe in the eyes of that group of victims, what kind of magic medicine, where can it be more important than eating porridge in the stomach.
However, just when Zhang Shuo felt that he should take the initiative, two people suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and walked in his direction.
At first, Zhang Shuo thought that some refugees had finished drinking the porridge and wanted to come over to try the miracle medicine, but he didn't expect that the two people who came over were acquaintances!
"Doctor Zhang!hehey!Doctor Zhang!" Listening to this tone, and then looking at this guy's demeanor, although this person was ragged and dirty, Zhang Shuo still recognized it at a glance, this product was Wu San!
Thinking of Wu San, Zhang Shuo was a little surprised, after he came to the county seat yesterday, he had asked Situ Weiming to find Wu San's whereabouts, but there was no news until now, I didn't expect this guy to run to the camp of the victims!
Zhang Shuo remembered that Old Wu Tou had said that Wu San had not been infected with the plague before the soldiers entered the city, so why was he caught in this place? Could it be that he happened to be infected before he came yesterday?
"Third Brother Wu, why are you here? Could it be that you also have the plague?" Seeing Wu San coming to him, Zhang Shuo asked curiously.
"Don't blame the third brother, it's me who has caused him!"
Before Wu San could speak, the person who came with him spoke, and Zhang Shuo heard the words and looked, Huh, isn't this the son of the rich and noble family who borrowed grain for himself in the first place?
"What's going on?" Zhang Shuo glanced at the two of them suspiciously, Wu San was okay, except for some dirty messes on his body, he didn't see any symptoms, but the rich boy had a yellowish complexion, sunken eyes, and weak legs, and it looked like he should have an epidemic.
Wu San glanced at Zhang Shuo, and slowly explained what had happened in the past two days with a wry smile.
This rich son's surname is Zhu, his name is Jun, his grandfather once entered the court as an official, and the official worships Hucao in Nanyang County, which is also considered a squire's family, but a few days ago, a steward of the Zhu family bought a child who was plagued by the plague from among the refugees, and the result was that one didn't care, and most of the Zhu family was infected with the plague!
Wu San was originally blocked in the city and had nowhere to go, so he wanted to go to Zhu Jun, but when he arrived at the place, he saw that the government soldiers were grabbing his ninth brother and walking out, and suddenly Wu San became angry, picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards the government soldiers!
And then the result was like this, Wu San was beaten severely by several government soldiers, and was imprisoned in the disaster camp with Zhu Jun......
Hearing this, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but sigh, this Wu San is a real tiger, according to the law of Da Zheng, the crime of attacking officers and soldiers is complicity and rebellion, Wu San is lucky that his head was not cut off with a knife!
After learning about Zhu Jun's condition, Zhang Shuo gave him two capsules, because Zhu Jun had just been ill and did not need to use antibacterial drugs, as long as he recuperated a little, there should be no problem with norfloxacin capsules.
With Zhu Jun as an example, soon, other people in the Zhu family also came to ask for medicine, and when the soup porridge ended, more and more people asked for medicine......
