Chapter 006: Beginning with the End of the Beginning
It all started at the end of the day
The two medical officers picked up the twig and poked the corpse, still motionless, when the corpse's mouth moved. The squatting posture of the two couldn't help but turn into a backward sitting, with their legs desperately pushing forward and their buttocks moving back. They only now realized that something might have crawled into the stomach of the corpse, cockroaches, rats and the like.
Sure enough, an awl-faced rat's head poked out of the corpse's mouth, and then crawled out with difficulty with its wriggling body, and the huge body stretched the corpse's mouth surprisingly large, maybe it could be stuffed into a steamed bun. Look at the stomach of the deceased, sure enough, it is a lot of suffocation.
At that time, the two people still had the heart to pay attention to those, and instinctively picked up something and threw it at the mouse that had not yet crawled out. The rat died, and a daring medical officer picked out the rat's carcass with a twig and placed it on a flat cart. Let the remaining one continue to burn, push the cart back by himself, go back to the temporary headquarters, and find the imperial doctor.
Because of a mouse, looking for a royal doctor, others think that this brother wants to invite merit and wants to go crazy, in fact, anyone who sees this mouse will be surprised and don't even blink their eyes. Otherwise, there are so many refugees on the journey from the city gate to the temporary command office, so they put down their work and follow themselves through the streets.
When asked where the rat came from, the doctor was tight-lipped. Because it's not a trivial matter.
The mouse was three times larger than the average mouse, its whole body was black, and its tail was long and hard like a nail in a coffin. None of this is surprising. Surprisingly, the scarlet eyes, though half-closed, were as large as quail eggs by the only slit and the huge sockets of the rat's head, and their teeth were sharper, sharper, and longer than those of ordinary mice. Although the people of Bingzhou have the habit of eating mountain rats, who still has an appetite when they see it.
Jiachen Baihu just felt that it was very peculiar when he saw this mouse, and it smelled a little stinky. Half-seriously, half-jokingly, he asked, "Is this a specialty of Bingzhou!?"
Locals standing on both sides, "This is not a specialty of the people." And they all said no.
Jiachen asked him where the mouse came, but the medical officer was hesitant, looking at him left and right, with a look of speechlessness. Jiachen understood in his heart, so he called out the medical officer and Bai Shell, and the three of them walked on the street, looking at the pavilion that was about to be built, and asked about the mouse.
When Jia and Bai heard this, they knew "what is a hot day and a cold sweat". The rat must have entered after the person died, or the patient would not have felt it. As for what the doctor said, the rat was a demon that had become a spirit, parasitic in the patient's chest, eating when there was something to eat, and eating people's internal organs when there was nothing to eat.
I don't believe in this thing, Jiachen and Baihusk. Although there are no wonders in the world, the ghost fox fairy just has to be cautious in his words, so as not to confuse the public. After praising the medical officer and criticizing the medical officer. Their faces sank. The mouse's coat is dark and shiny, and its body is muscular, and its eyes are red. Either you become a refinement, or you are ......
Either that, they often eat human flesh. Human flesh has been a high-quality medicinal material since ancient times. It can replenish qi and essence, nourish blood and moisturize hair. Now that 800,000 people have just died in Bingzhou, and the rats have also experienced this catastrophe, they have run out of food and cooking all of a sudden, and it is not surprising that they eat dead corpses and human flesh when they see them.
But the most infuriating thing is that rats have gnawed on plague or toxin-laden corpses. Rats themselves carry the virus. In the future, the virus will be contaminated on the clothes, bedding, and food and vegetables that people eat. The consequences are great. Even if you drink ten bowls of plague god soup every day, it is useless.
Now the town is repaired as before, and the houses are built brighter than those in the imperial capital, Baicheng. It's just sparsely populated and crowded.
Jiachen ordered 240,000 soldiers and civilians to clean the halls and halls, drive out the plague in the south of the city, especially in the diseased areas in the south of the city, and directly burn the damaged clothes, bedding, and moldy food; Suddenly, such a military order was issued, and it was confusing. After all, Bingzhou, where there are a large number of soldiers, is still arranged in an orderly manner in accordance with military orders.
The plague was brought under control, and every house up and down the city, even at the mouth of the street, the corners of the houses were white, and a new layer was sprinkled on top of the lime powder that had already agglomerated and blackened. Suddenly, lime dust rolled up in the streets, from outside the city to inside the city. I saw that the initiator of the dust and lime was a man and a horseman, ignoring the pedestrians on the road, and galloped westward, which was the direction of the temporary headquarters.
"Report-" A long voice rushed straight to the top of the yatang from outside the mansion, only to see that the soldier was dressed up, and his clothes, eyelashes, and temples were stained with wind and dust, but he didn't have time to beat it.
"Report to your Excellency, General Meng Feilong has a letter to read. ”
Jiachen asked the commencement soldiers to drink tea under the hall, and he opened the letterhead and read it. There are as many as five or six pieces of stationery. probably just wanted Jiachen to approve 500 stone of grain and send it to Daliu County outside the city. Because it would take a lot of timber and masonry to rebuild the capital of Bingzhou, Meng Feilong took 2,000 soldiers to mine, and it was planned that it would take about ten days to collect all the timber needed. The food they brought was only for seven days. Meng Feilong wanted to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, the jungle near Daliu County is famous for its many birds and beasts, and there are wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like in the wild, as long as you are willing to fish and hunt, you can find enough food for three or two days.
But when he got here, Meng Feilong found that although the sky is blue and the land is wide, but this endless jungle is all gray and pressed, before the rainstorm, no one paid attention to the gray here, but this rainstorm has washed down the ash on the trees and houses, why are the trees still the same color. The mountains in the distance also want to be shrouded in dark clouds, and there are no dark green leaves. The breeze comes out and comes out. Only the weak branches swayed. Only the thick fallen leaves on the ground rustled.
Just after the catastrophe, no one has experienced the sand and dust that does not fall for more than a month, and they dare not say that the yellowing and withering of the leaves are just to anger the mountain gods and the earth.
But this place has become a place where birds don't. There were no birds flying in the clear blue sky, and there were no hares or animals in the vastness. You can't hear the birds chirping and the cicadas in the jungle, but it's summer, is it normal to have no cicadas! Some soldiers who are good at hunting, while cutting down trees, spread their nets in the woods to dig out the burrows of cunning rabbits. But there is still no gain. Where did they go? They all ran out of state, and I haven't heard of it.
On the sixth day, the rice and grain brought with him bottomed out, and half of the task had not been completed. So he ordered the correspondent to hurry back home and get some food.
After reading this letter, there is no problem with the transfer of food. Jiachen was thinking about where the beasts had gone.
"Sect Master, I previously appointed the feudal system to guard the land of meteorites, and he has already arrived to pass the paper cigarette. He said that many carcasses of local animals had appeared near the crater, and that their heads had rushed in the direction of the meteorite. He wanted to ask what he was going to do with it. The attendant beside the sect leader said.
"This meteorite is really not to be underestimated, I used my spiritual eye to investigate, but when I arrived at the meteorite thirty miles away, I felt a strange force that was extremely hot and expelled me, and I didn't expect that what the five gods said 'untouchable' was true. Whenever there is an artifact, there must be an elephant to accompany him, tell the Feng system, just let him take care of the falling spirit stone, don't ask about other things, I just want the people of Bingzhou City to be jealous of him. Don't dare to take a step closer. Hahahahaha. "The Sect Master had better laugh heartily, showing the dark side of a person.
"Sect Leader Shengming, the Feng Department is naturally cunning, and his cultivation has reached the median of cloud painting. Although there is still a gap between the Moon Halo Position and the Sect Master, it has already surpassed those of us who are in the Water Pattern Position. It's even easier to deal with mortals. The point is that he will live to get the spirit stone back. Congratulations to the Master!
"Less flattery, I let him go because I think he is truly sincere to me, and after two hundred years of suffering in that place, which of you can stand it. It's going to be hell there. I was suppressed by the external force of the spirit stone, and I thought that it would be difficult to become an immortal!" said the sect leader with some regret.
"Yes, yes, the bishop did. The attendant bowed respectfully to the ground.
