Chapter 413: The Plague Strikes the City
Walking into the city, a depressed scene comes into view.
Not to mention the disrepair of the roads, there is also a lack of manual cleaning on the roads, overgrown with weeds and garbage.
Most of the shops on both sides of the road are closed, and on the street, the few pedestrians I occasionally see are also in a hurry, Chen An doesn't need to open his yin and yang eyes, just look at their blue and black eyes, and his face is dark to know what the general situation of the other party is.
Walking on the main streets of the city, I saw the shops that were still open, except for some grain and rice shops, funeral shops that sold coffins, paper money, and incense and candles. The only thing on the road that didn't seem so lifeless, and maybe it was a little vivid was the whimpering cry that had been there all along, but I don't know where it came from.
It is as if there is a funeral in every family, and there are dead people in every household. Turning to the path, you can still see a few people wearing linen and filial piety squatting in front of the house around the brazier to burn paper. At the same time, paper money is sprinkled all over the sky, and with the wind and dust, it is paved in almost every corner of the city road.
"W-what's going on?"
Although Dayou County is a little off, it is also under the rule of Changqing Mansion, Gongsun Sheng did the same as the Zhihui and came here to inspect, I remembered that it was not like this at the time, although it was not popular, it did not reach this level, so I couldn't help but ask Gu Wei for evidence.
"I, I don't know, how can this be? I've only been away from home for a little more than a month. ”
Gu Wei's voice was obviously a little frightened, and his steps involuntarily sped up a little, heading towards the direction that he remembered in his heart.
Everyone also wanted to find out what was going on here, and they didn't have a place to go for the time being, so they followed Gu Wei and walked towards his house.
Fortunately, the county seat is not big, just turn two or three streets, and you will see a three-entry courtyard. The courtyard walls are mottled and the thatch is exposed, looking dilapidated and in disrepair. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is not this, but the theme of the entire county today, black silk and white linen.
Seeing the main color, Gu Wei's whole person was stunned at first, and was pushed by Shen Liang behind him before he came back to his senses, and rushed into the courtyard with a loud scream.
"Mother, mother......"
Everyone glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the first thing that caught his eye was Gu Wei's frozen figure again, followed by an unkempt old woman sitting at his feet.
A mourning shed is facing the courtyard gate, and there are several pairs of straw mats of different sizes in the mourning shed, and four or five spiritual seats are enshrined in front of the straw mats.
Everyone stepped forward to see the words on the spiritual seat, in the middle of the book on the book, the spiritual seat of Zi Gu Ming, the left one is the spiritual seat of the daughter-in-law Liu, and on the right several lines lined up with daughters, grandchildren, granddaughters......
Good guy, is this the death of the whole family? Chen An's eyelids jumped, just looking at the posture, Gu Wei was worried about his mother, but the mother did not die, and the whole family died.
Gu Wei's body was weak, and he collapsed directly beside his mother.
"Wei'er, is that you? Are you back?"
The old woman's family is dead, she hasn't collapsed and gone crazy, and she is strong, she stared at a pair of gray eyes, groped, touched the people around her, and immediately grabbed it and never let go.
Gu Weimu turned his head and saw the old woman, only then did he come back to his senses, and he also grabbed the old woman's hand and cried: "Mother, big, the eldest brother's family ......"
The old woman seemed to want to cry too, but she only made a distorted expression, and she didn't squeeze out a single tear.
Gu Wei seemed to have discovered the old woman's abnormality at this time, and he was stunned again, and asked with tears in his eyes: "Mother, your eyes?"
"I can't see it, after your eldest brother leaves, I can't see it. ”
"Mother, what the hell is going on? What's going on? I've only been around for a month. ”
Gu Wei's whole person collapsed, she was not as strong as the old woman, she said in a hoarse voice: "Ten days ago, people in the city began to get sick, and three days ago, a large number of patients died, your eldest brother's family, your eldest brother's family ......."
As she spoke, something seemed to be blocked in her mouth, and she couldn't speak anymore, and the mother and son hugged each other, one howling, the other trembling silently.
However, her simple words have already made Chen An and the others understand the reason for the matter.
Plague, there was a massive outbreak of plague here.
Everyone reacted differently to this, Yue Ran was the youngest, and she was a woman with innate sensibility, thinking of her several deceased elders, she couldn't help but shed a few tears; Gongsun Sheng and Shen Liang also had sad faces, only to feel that in the face of such a scene, it was useless to say anything about mourning and change; only Han Yueling's expression that had eased slightly because of the journey all the way became cold again, and she said fiercely: "Demon." ”
Yue Ran was taken aback, looked at Han Yueling in surprise and said, "Sister Han, do you think this plague is also a demon?"
Han Yueling nodded, and didn't explain much, but Chen An was suddenly surprised by her actions.
Along the way, all he saw were the old and weak, the young and the young and the young, and what kind of plague left the weak old and the sick to invade the young and the strong? This made his mind go back to the Haizhou chaos in the Great Zhou, and he thought strangely that he didn't expect to meet a colleague.
The old woman and Gu Wei hugged and cried for a while, and when they heard the movement, they reacted first and said to Gu Wei: "Wu'er, you also brought a friend back?"
Only then did Gu Wei react, turned around and knelt in front of Han Yueling and said, "Fairy Han, please, please save my eldest brother's family." ”
The indifference on Han Yueling's face eased somewhat, and he sighed lightly, took out a yellow talisman, crushed one of them, and sprinkled it into the air.
A burst of fine rain and dew sprinkled, Gu Wei who was bathed in it suddenly felt that the panic and sorrow in his heart eased slightly, and the old woman on the side was also dusty, although the origin of the damage caused by sadness could not be repaired, but the dark wounds accumulated in the past few days were quickly healed and healed, and a trace of brilliance bloomed in his eyes again, barely able to blur his vision.
"It is the principle of heaven and earth that people cannot be resurrected after death, although I am cultivating, but I still have no power to reverse, this Ganlin charm can not only dispel the corpse epidemic, but also help you relieve your grief, heal your heartache, and hope that you will mourn and change. ”
This action made Chen Anxin complain constantly: You said this sentence earlier, what kind of talisman is nothing, do you really think you can come back to life? I was taken aback, the great power of the immortals is not as capable as yours, and you have the ability to pretend to be forced.
However, complaining and complaining, Han Yueling's actions are still somewhat useful, at least Gu Wei's mood finally stabilized, helped the old lady to sit up, and started to rearrange the mourning hall. Gongsun Sheng and Shen Liang hurriedly helped when they saw it, Chen An didn't want to behave too abnormally, so he could only follow, and after a while, the mourning hall was renovated.
