Thinking of the locust plague that occurred that year, Li Chengqian still has lingering palpitations when he talks about it.

"You are about the same age as me, and if you think about it, you also have an impression of the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan."

Li Chengqian sighed:

"I was only nine years old at the time, and the whole land of Guanzhong was infested by locusts."

"My father had just ascended the throne for two years, and in order to quell the rumors and reassure the people, he took all the older princes and swallowed locusts alive."

"Don't look at me like this...... I ate it too. ”

Lu Heng's eyes widened!

He had no knowledge of this history, let alone any memory of the locust plague.

It is estimated that the original owner was also young at the time, so he was not impressed.

Lu Heng hesitated for a long time before he said:

"I really can't remember what happened that year."

"Is it worse than it is now?"

Li Chengqian nodded:

"Serious, much more serious."

"My father sent an edict against himself."

"Fortunately, after he personally ate locusts, he settled the hearts of the people, and everyone began to hunt and kill locusts."

"That's it, it's still all over the Guanzhong homeless people."

"Even that year's has been carried over, don't worry too much, brother Xian, the court will definitely figure out a way."

Lu Heng was speechless for a while.

Looking at the vision, he couldn't imagine anything more tragic.

Right now.

Li Chengqian was surprised:

"Brother Xian, look at the ...... over there"

"Is there an old man?"

Lu Heng's attention was diverted.

He looked intently—

Not far away, there is really an old man, just like the strong men of the Tiger Head Gang, wandering among the refugees!

"At this age, wouldn't you be a member of the Tiger Head Gang?"

Lu Heng groaned:

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

The two of them walked in that direction, and soon came to the vicinity of the old man.

As soon as they arrived, they noticed something strange about the place.

Unlike other places, the people lying on the ground here don't look quite right.

Ordinary homeless people are very thin, with vegetables on their faces, and because they can't eat enough and have little strength, they will lie on the ground and stay still, and get up when they want to work and collect firewood.

And the people lying here, except for the above cases, almost everyone has a painful look on their faces, their faces are wrinkled, the beads of sweat on their foreheads are bigger than the other, and some are rolling and wailing.

Lu Heng became vigilant.

He quickened his pace and walked over to the old man.

"Old man, are you here to treat them?"

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian next to him also moved his gaze to the old man's hand.

The old man held a needle in his right hand and a needle bag sewn from cowhide in his left hand, in which silver needles of various sizes and lengths were inserted.

"That's right."

The old man glanced back at them, and then continued the action of applying the needle in his hand:

"Among these displaced people, the plague has already spread."

"The old man found out when he came two days ago, so he asked them to carry all the patients here."

"If the plague occurs in the village, it can be sealed off......"

"But it can appear among the homeless, and it can only be cured."

Hearing this, Lu Heng and Li Chengqian immediately glanced at each other, and they both saw shock and uneasiness in each other's eyes!

After the great plague there will be a great plague.

But this catastrophe has not yet passed, why did it start to have a plague?!

Lu Heng immediately made a decision, and immediately turned his head and asked Li Chengqian:

"Did you have a knife with you? Daggers will do the same. ”

Li Chengqian didn't know what he was going to do, but he still took out a delicate dagger from his sleeve. Looking at the pattern, it is estimated that it is still produced in the Western Regions.

But when he saw Lu Heng take it, he directly began to cut his sleeves!

"Brother Xian, you are ......"

Li Chengqian was stunned.

Lu Heng didn't pay attention to him at all, and cut off his robe.

Fortunately, it was ancient times, and a large piece of cloth could be cut off with just one sleeve, otherwise Lu Heng would have to run naked now.

Fei Lao worked hard, and he finally cut the cloth pieces on both sides of his sleeves into three parts.

"Take it, follow my example, and tie this thing to your face."

Lu Heng handed a piece to Li Chengqian, and he tied the cloth to his face.

Actually, he originally wanted to make a triangle, just like in the TV series.

As a result, after thinking about it, Lu Heng found a problem.

In the TV series, people don't plan to be masks, they are used to cover their faces!

Triangle, then the chin will leak!

On the contrary, it is made into a square, the upper part covers the mouth and nose, and the lower part can be tucked into the collar, and the sealing will be much better than the former.

Li Chengqian didn't know why, but he still chose to believe in Lu Heng and tied him up in the same way.

"Old man, you can tie it up too."

Lu Heng handed the last piece of cloth to the old man, for fear that the other party would not be willing, and explained:

"Since you are a healer and know that there is a plague here, you still have to protect yourself to cure the disease and save people."

"Although this cloth is made temporarily, it can also help a little, at least it will not be so easy to be infected."

The old man looked at Lu Heng's series of movements.

Finally, he stopped the needle in his hand and looked at the boy with admiration.

"When you are young, you know how to cover your mouth and nose in the midst of the plague......"

"Studying medicine?"

Lu Heng scratched his head embarrassedly.

He doesn't even know how to prick a needle, so he can be regarded as studying medicine.

At most, he's a barefoot doctor who hasn't been a teacher, and it's the kind without medicine!

"You're wrong, the kid can only be regarded as a half-ass."

Lu Heng didn't have such a big face, so he just casually perfunctory.

Then, he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, his eyes became serious.

"Brother Gao Ming, the occurrence of a plague outside Chang'an City is not trivial, and it must be reported!"

Li Chengqian is also in good spirits.

Scared!

Natural disasters are natural disasters, but a large-scale plague occurs at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which is a man-made disaster!

He hurriedly nodded:

"I also think I'll tell you when I get back later...... Tell the government. ”

Because there were still others, Li Chengqian was stunned and swallowed back the words "father".

But he didn't expect that after the old man next to him tied the face towel, he sighed and waved his hand.

The old man looked at the two teenagers helplessly:

"When the old man found out before, he had already persuaded them."

"If they keep gathering here, it will not be a matter of starvation, and even if food is brought in the future, food will not be able to save them if they are sick."

"The ...... Who Can't Be Persuaded"

"It's useless for you to call the government to take it away."

"Displaced people have traveled thousands of miles from Kanto to Guanzhong, how can they leave without food?"

Lu Heng was speechless for a while.

He found that he thought too much about this era and these homeless people.

As long as a person is hungry, he may be able to do anything.

Did the peasant army, which rose up in the last years of the dynasty, suddenly dare to rebel?

All hungry!

If you don't have anything to eat, you will go to grab the food of the big households. More people are gathered, and the big households are not enough to eat, so they will rob the government.

And so on.

In the end, it was time for the rebellion.

"So what to do......

Lu Heng looked at Li Chengqian:

"Is there a way for the government to properly settle them?"

Li Chengqian covered his face and couldn't see his expression.

But he coldly spat out a few words.

"Just let the army out of the camp and drive them away."
