Chu Lan pushed the bicycle, turned into an alley, and saw that there was no one around, so he changed his clothes, took off the spirit fox mask, covered his mouth and nose with rags, and continued to explore.

Many people fell to the ground along the way, obviously suffering from this epidemic for a long time without eating, skinny, seeing Chu Lan, a stranger coming here, they all reached out to pull Chu Lan's trouser legs.

Chu Lan flashed to the side, looking at them with a little distress in his eyes, it was a look full of despair, they wanted to die quickly, for them, it was better to die than to suffer from illness.

"Please, kill me, I'm so uncomfortable. ”

"Help us"

"Help me ... ”

There are still many words that have not been finished before they have lost their breath, Chu Lan's heart hurts like a pinprick, he once felt admiration for the calmness of the Xuanhua City Lord, and now all his good feelings have been swept away.

This kind of person deserves to die, but are you still helping him do things?

No, it wasn't his intention to get involved in this vortex at the beginning, but now that Yang Huan's quirky little girl is missing, and this village has fallen into such a miserable situation, he has decided this matter, and he has to manage it to the end.

Chu Lan walked with his head down, trying not to listen to those voices, the more this happened, the clearer those voices became, as if the red-clothed thief was pricking his heart with his embroidery needle.

He saw a small figure whose condition was not too serious, and stepped forward to ask, "Little brother, are there any people here who are a little less ill!"

The little boy's eyes flashed, and he pointed in a direction, and as soon as Chu Lan turned around, he stretched out his dirty little hand and grabbed the corner of Chu Lan's clothes.

"Little brother, help us"

Chu Lan forcibly endured the grief and indignation in his heart, turned his head, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, you'll all be fine, wait for me to come back"

"Okay, ahem, ahem"

As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed a few more times, and Chu Lan turned around and walked in the direction that the little boy was pointing to.

Along the way, there were many officers and soldiers who looked like people, pinching their noses with their hands, loading one after another villagers who had no breath, rotting and smelly into the car, and Chu Lan carefully bypassed them.

Seeing a warehouse-like building in front of him, he pushed the door open and entered.

It was very empty, with weeds piled up in the corners, and there were no people.

He walked for a week and didn't find anything unusual, could it be that the little boy lied to himself?

stepped on the ground with his feet, the sound was not dull, but there was a faint crisp sound, Chu Lan's heart moved, it is estimated that there is still a space below, no wonder it was not discovered by the officers and soldiers.

He was superbly sane, and it was only then that he caught this subtle voice.

After the divine sense was fully released, Chu Lan walked to the corner, removed the weeds, touched the ground with his palm, and then stretched out his two fingers, and with a strong force, he said that the ground was buckled up, and there was indeed a space below.

Lighting the fire, he put the floor tile back in place, and he stepped on the ladder and entered the space underground.

There were dozens of people here, and when they saw outsiders coming, a few sturdy young men immediately jumped up, all looking at Chu Lan nervously

Chu Lan glanced around, fixed his mind, waved his hand to show goodwill, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not from Xuanhua Mansion, I want to come to you to understand the situation, go back and find someone to develop some medicine for you, you will all get better."

These people looked at each other, with doubts and joy in their eyes, and at most they were incredulous.

"Really?" was silent for a while before the little girl said timidly.

Obviously, the rest of the people had not completely let go of the mustard in their hearts, and looked nervously at this young man with a big sword on his back.

Chu Lan took out the Bagang Sword Tire and gently put it aside, which made them exhale.

Chu Lan found a place to sit down, and at this time, an old man was supported by several young people and walked over tremblingly. Apparently very respected in this group.

"Young man, I am the village chief here, if you have anything to ask, just ask the old man. ”

"How long have you been like this?"

"It's been about three months, three months ago, someone was the first to fetch water in that creek, and it didn't take long for this symptom to appear. ”

"So the root of this virus is that creek?"

"Yes, there is very little well water in this village, most of the villagers live on the water of that stream, and the disease is very contagious, and it didn't take long for people to die here. ”

"Later, someone from Xuanhua Mansion came and said that they had medicine to treat this disease, but it was very expensive, each bottle cost ten taels of silver, where did we have so much silver, we could only hold on like this, and live on a very small amount of well water."

He stretched out his hand to the side, and Chu Lan followed the direction he pointed, in the middle of this room, there was a small well, and the water in it was almost bottoming out, and it was pitiful.

No wonder An Zeyang can harvest so much gold and silver in such a short period of time, it turns out that he used this way, what is the difference between this and Cao Kan's life?

Then the spread of this plague is mostly inseparable from An Zeyang.

Chu Lan asked the question he wanted to know most now, "There is a big man in red clothes with a full beard, has he ever been here!"

The old village chief had a tangled look on his face, and he was silent for a while before speaking.

"Not long ago, there was a big man with a beard like you said, but he didn't wear red, he was the first time he came, we had never seen him before, he went to the house of the famous widow Liu in our village, and he hasn't seen him since. ”

Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and he asked eagerly, "What kind of person is that widow, and what is he doing there?"

The old man leaned on his crutches, gasped a few times, and cleared his breath before he spoke

"That's a famous widow in our village, her husband is said to have died when she was pregnant, but she is very filial, has been taking care of her parents-in-law, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, her child gave birth to three children, and she is about to be raised, hey"

Chu Lan listened anxiously, how could this be somewhat similar to the characters he appeared in his dream yesterday, but he didn't speak, and continued to listen to the old village chief.

"The three sons and daughters of her family are very happy, all of them are as strong as a wooden mound, every time they see the elders they greet warmly, but they still did not escape this catastrophe, that day Widow Liu went to the Qingxi to wash clothes, and when she came back, she transmitted the disease to a few little ones, and even her parents-in-law died before the big man came. ”

Chu Lan hurriedly asked again, "What else, old man, think about it again."

The old village chief lowered his head, full of sadness, he frowned and pondered for a while, and then said with some uncertainty

"They were a family of six, and soon after they died, the big man came to his house, and there was a cry of pain, and the villagers speculated whether it would be the ghost of Widow Liu's husband, and someone sneaked over to look, and saw from a distance that Widow Liu fell to the ground, holding a needle and thread in her hand, embroidering a shoe. ”

Chu Lan's cold hair stood up, and he felt that he had found a very important clue, which might be related to the various strange behaviors of the big man in red, and he asked with a trembling voice

"Embroidered what?"

"Emmm, it looks like a peony!"

——————

Chu Lan seemed to be slowly pushed into the depths of the sea, his limbs were limp and weak, he couldn't struggle, his whole brain seemed to be shaken wildly, and the things around him became more and more blurred, and he couldn't tell what was real and what was false.

The scenes of last night's dream came to his mind, especially the picture before he woke up was frozen for a long time, six people, bleeding from seven orifices, covered in purple, miserable and terrifying. Chu Lan only felt that there was a chill behind them, and they seemed to be alive, looking at themselves with great sadness.

Chu Lan was dazed and stiff along the way, and after saying goodbye to the villagers of Qingxi Town, he left here like a walking corpse, changed into the clothes and appearance when he first came in, and left Qingxi Town, took the ape flying method, and rushed to the main city of Xuanhua.

He really didn't want these poor people to endure this suffering for another second, and it was most important to heal them quickly.

There is another thing worth noting, at the end, the old village chief added, "On the night that the big man appeared, the six corpses of Widow Liu's family disappeared!"

When he came to a pharmacy in Xuanhua City, he handed over the small bottle containing Qingxi stream water in the ring to the person who took the medicine, the man took the small bottle, shook it, and asked Chu Lan what this was, Chu Lan didn't answer positively, just asked

"Sir, do you know what special ingredients are in this, and is there any medicine to solve it?"

The man went to the inner room and did a long time of extraction and experimentation.

Chu Lan was waiting anxiously outside, so he came to a teahouse opposite to drink tea, and it wasn't until an hour later that he walked out, his face was not good-looking, and he said heavily, "I don't know what ingredients are in this, it's just ordinary water."

Chu Lan's eyes flashed, and he didn't speak, but he was very angry in his heart, he had waited so long to tell himself such a result, this doctor must have found something, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't dare to tell himself.

Chu Lan didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves and turned around to leave here, the doctor looked at Chu Lan's appearance, shook his head, and said with some guilt, "Little brother, this matter is a bit deep, it's better for you not to get involved."

Chu Lan didn't seem to hear it, and went straight to Lu Botong's mansion.

He knew that most of the doctors in all the pharmacies that were open now would not reveal the truth, so he wanted to ask Lu Botong, who was very well-connected, for help.

Lu Botong saw Chu Lan's ugly face, motioned for Chu Lan to sit down first, personally brewed a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Chu Lan.

Chu Lan didn't drink, but said straight to the point, "Senior Lu, do you know a retired doctor?"

Lu Botong frowned, "Little brother, what are you looking for this kind of person?"

"To tell you the truth, I went to Qingxi Town"

"Hey"

Lu Botong didn't speak, he sighed, with his communication, he naturally knew about the affairs of Qingxi Town a long time ago, and he also saw some eyebrows from it, but although he couldn't get used to it, he didn't care about it.

Hearing Chu Lan's words, he had already guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Okay, I know one, retired early, but a strange man with superb medical skills, I'll take you to him!"

Chu Lan was overjoyed, respectfully clasped his fists, and had a sense of respect for this Lu senior.

Lu Botong is an old man, although he also feels sad about the affairs of Qingxi Town in his heart, but he really doesn't want to soup this muddy water, Chu Lan is young and doesn't know how old the rivers and lakes are, and there is a momentum in his bones, so Lu Botong also wants to borrow Chu Lan's hand to solve the affairs of Qingxi Town.

"It's just that the old man is a little weird!"

"How weird?"

"You'll know when you go!"
