Seeing Li Si so out of shape, Zhao Sheng looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Si didn't answer, stepped forward, grabbed the corner of Zhao Sheng's clothes, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did they go?" Do you still have those two cows with you? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng took a step back and said, "I only met with them in Pingshui, because they are all from Jizhou Prefecture, so I chatted a little more, how can I know where they went." ”

When Li Si heard this, he still didn't give up, and asked anxiously, "Then do you remember the direction they were going?" ”

Seeing Li Si so out of shape, Zhao Sheng was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know them?" ”

Li Si wanted to continue to ask, but seeing Zhao Sheng's slightly frowning brows, he still took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and then said, "I don't know." ”

I don't know, why are you in such a hurry to find out?

Before Zhao Sheng could ask, he heard Li Si speak:

"I don't know them, but I know that they have a way to stop the plague from spreading! Or rather, their cattle were able to stop the spread of the plague! ”

Li Si's categorical tone made Zhao Sheng stunned in place.

Their cattle, able to stop the spread of the plague?

Isn't this man crazy?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Shenghu glanced at Li Si suspiciously, and took a step back.

Seeing this, Li Si said: "I'm not crazy, according to my observations, the plague spreading here is very likely to be smallpox, and the best way to treat smallpox is to vaccinate cowpox in advance, the so-called cowpox is......

Hey, I can't tell you for a while, but you just have to tell me where that family and their cattle have gone, and if you can find them, I will give you a reward of 1,000 taels of silver! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the shadow guard on the side and ordered, "Quick, bring a thousand taels of silver!" ”

"Yes!"

The order that the shadow guard accepted was to completely obey Li Si's orders, so without hesitation, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and placed it on the table.

Zhao Sheng saw the gold ingots on the table, and the whole person was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that Li Si would really take out a thousand taels of silver, just to inquire about the whereabouts of the two cows.

Could it be ......

Did those two cows really hide the secret of stopping the spread of the plague?

But how is this possible?

Zhao Sheng was stunned.

Li Si couldn't wait to urge: "If you really can't remember where they are going, tell me a general direction, this matter is related to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lives, and it can't be delayed!" ”

When Zhao Sheng heard him say this, he finally stopped thinking nonsense, supported his forehead, and said, "Don't rush, let me think about it." ”

"Okay."

Seeing this, Li Si quieted down, not daring to disturb Zhao Sheng's thoughts.

There was a glint of anticipation in his eyes.

He's almost sure.

The two cows contracted cowpox, and the family was immune to smallpox because they were in constant contact with cows and were also infected with cowpox.

If the whereabouts of those two cows can be found and sent to Daqian, a large number of cowpox can be cultivated to make smallpox vaccines.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhao Sheng suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I remember that they seem to be going to Chengming Mansion to join a relative." ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Seeing that he had said the exact name of the place, Li Si showed excitement on his face and asked, "Can you be sure?" ”

Because of the excitement, my voice trembled a little.

Zhao Sheng nodded and said: "No accident, it's Chengming Mansion, at that time, I saw that they were carrying two cows, so I said, you take these two guys, from Jizhou to Jingshi, it's really not easy, the man said, it's really not easy, but fortunately, if you hold on for a while, you can get there, and then I casually asked, where are they going, they said it was Chengming Mansion." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Si almost jumped up excitedly.

At this moment.

He didn't care about the possibility of contracting smallpox, hugged Zhao Sheng, and said excitedly: "If you can find those two cows, it will be equivalent to saving thousands of Li people, and this credit is one percent of Brother Zhao!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the shadow guard beside him and ordered: "All pack up and salute and leave for Mingcheng Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

The shadow guards bowed and turned to pack their bags.

When Zhao Sheng saw this scene, he was instantly stunned, stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Si's sleeve, and said, "Brother Li, you have gone to Chengming Mansion, what should we do." ”

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that there was still someone to take care of here, and after hesitating for a moment, he looked at a shadow guard and ordered, "You stay and take care of them." ”

As he spoke, he took out the thermometer made by the Engineering Academy from his arms, handed it to the shadow guard, and advised: "From now on, record it once in the morning, noon and evening, body temperature, and status, if the number on it exceeds thirty-nine, I will dispense the medicine according to my prescription and feed him to take it."

Remember, in normal times, you can't take off the veil, you have to cover your mouth and nose all the time, and when you are the only one sleeping in the house, you can take off the veil and put it outside to breathe, and the next day you have to change it to a new veil. ”

The shadow guard arched his hand and said, "The humble duty has been recorded!" ”

Li Si nodded, looked at Zhao Sheng, and said: "In the past few days, you are still living in this mansion, whether you can find those two cows or not, I will come back, if I find them, I will never break my promise, and I will definitely give you a thousand taels of silver!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "If those two cows can really stop the spread of the plague, it should be me for the people of the world, thank you, the thousand taels of silver, shouldn't give me ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "That family has a total of seven people, although the clothes are not luxurious, but at first glance it is just a solid family, the master's surname is Sun, but I don't know what it is, six feet tall, extremely strong, very eye-catching in the crowd, and his wife looks extremely thin, which is impressive."

In addition, the family also carried two and a half children, accompanied by a man and two women, who were supposed to be the brothers and sisters of the master's family. ”

When Li Si heard these descriptions, he became more confident, his face showed excitement, he arched his hand, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Zhao Sheng also arched his hand, said no more, and watched Li Si leave the house.

It's crazy.

Or really capable.

It's up to you in the next few days.

Of course, the most important thing is that he and his wife, his apprentice, were able to survive these days.

"Whoever heals the sick must be calm, have no desires or desires, and first have great compassion and vow to save the suffering of the soul......

Nor shall they look ahead and backward, worry about their own good and evil, protect their lives, and see that they are distressed, and if they have it, they will be deeply sad...... This can be a great doctor for the common people, but on the contrary, it is a giant thief with spirits! ”

Looking at the back of Li Si leaving, the great doctor's sincerity he had recited before slowly sounded in Zhao Sheng's ears.

"If I could stick to my opinion and tell the prefect that there might be a plague in the port, or tell the imperial history, would the situation be different now?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart.

He looked at Li Si's departing figure and muttered, "No matter what, I hope you can fulfill what you said and stop the spread of the plague." ”

............

After Li Si came out of Nanwang Mansion, he rushed to Chengming Mansion non-stop.

Chengming Mansion City, like Nanwangfu City, is just a small city, because it is not far from Beijing, it has become a temporary foothold for many merchants, and it is relatively prosperous.

It's not easy to find a family here to flee with two cows, but it's not that difficult either.

The premise is that the family did come to Chengming Mansion.

Li Si and seven shadow guards, with luggage, rode horses, all the way north.

At the beginning, what I saw and heard was not much different from Nanwangcheng.

Later, it was found that the situation here was significantly different from that of Nanwangcheng.

Whether it is in the countryside or in the city, there are many fewer people loitering.

Although it is not yet to the point where corpses are scattered all over the field, it is true that many people can be seen digging pits and burying corpses on the roadside.

Such a scene is enough to be called miserable in Li Si's eyes.

But in the eyes of the shadow guard, it is very ordinary.

There are many more miserable scenes on the battlefield.

Such a picture cannot cause their emotional turmoil at all.

Stop and go all the way.

Three days later.

Li Si took the shadow guard and rushed to Chengming Mansion.

Unexpectedly, when entering the city, no one stopped him, and no one even looked at the road guide.

Li Si led the horse, covered his mouth and nose with a veil, and when he entered the city, he saw an old man sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun, and couldn't help but ask: "Old man, where have the guards at the gate of this city gone?" ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, waved his hand, and said, "Where else can you go, you are all lying at home." ”

When Li Si heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he wanted to say something, but he felt that it was unnecessary, so he turned to the topic and asked: "Old man, do you know that the family in the city is newly moved in, and the owner's family is six feet tall and leads two cows. ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "I don't know." ”

Seeing this, Li Si showed a look of disappointment on his face and continued to move forward.

This time.

The shadow guard behind him suddenly asked, "Who should I ask if I am looking for someone?" ”

The old man didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and kept silent.

Seeing this, the shadow guard took out a few copper plates of the Yan Kingdom from his arms and threw them over.

The old man glanced at the copper plate and said expressionlessly: "The old man doesn't ask for food. ”

It means giving too little.

Old guy, do you still dislike giving money?

The shadow guard grimaced, drew his sword, walked over to the old man, and put it on his neck.

The old man didn't expect this shadow guard to be so arrogant, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said: "Looking for the dog in the north of the city, he knows the news best." ”

When Ying Wei heard this, he put away his knife, looked at Li Si, who was a little confused in front of him, and said, "Boss, let's go to the north of the city to have a look." ”

Li Si looked at the old man, then at the shadow guard, and nodded.

A moment later.

Shadow Guard successfully found the so-called dog in the north of the city.

It's a young man with a thief's eyebrows, and it's not a good thing to look at.

This time.

Li Si didn't speak, and handed over the initiative of questioning to Ying Wei.

After all, these shadow guards do these jobs on weekdays, and when it comes to finding out news, no one in the world is better at it.

"Find a person, surnamed Sun, six feet tall, sturdy, leading two cows, with six family members, to come here to seek refuge."

The shadow guard looked at the dog in front of him and said coldly.

The dog didn't speak, just stretched out his palm.

The Shadow Guard took a small piece of silver from his bosom and placed it on the dog's hand.

The dog wanted to ask for more, but when he saw that these guys didn't seem to be easy to provoke, he smiled flatteringly and said, "The person you are looking for came six or seven days ago?" ”

Shadow Guard nodded.

The dog said, "They live in the north of the city, and I will take you there." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward.

Side.

When Li Si saw this scene, he could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart, and his heart jumped wildly.

Whether it's cowpox or not, you'll find out soon!

A moment later.

The dog took Li Si and his party to a mansion and said, "A few big brothers, it's in front." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the door of the mansion and turned to leave.

At this time, a shadow guard stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and said coldly: "If you see someone, you can go again." ”

When the dog heard this, his face showed helplessness, and he said: "A few big brothers don't know, the owner of that family is a practitioner, if he knows that the little one brought you here, I'm afraid that he will break the little leg." ”

Ying Wei said coldly: "Then you're not afraid that Lao Tzu will break your legs?" ”

When the dog heard this, he did not dare to say any more.

"I'll take a look!"

At this time, Li Si on the side couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and was about to step forward.

"Wait!"

A shadow guard suddenly grabbed him and said, "The owner is waiting here, I'll go." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Li Si stood in the corner, watching the shadow guard talk to the person who opened the door.

A moment later.

The shadow guard turned his head, looked at Li Si and his party, and nodded lightly.

"."

Seeing this, the shadow guard who was holding the dog let go of his hand.

The group walked up.

"Who are you?"

This time.

The owner of the mansion, the six-foot strong man who was chatting with Zhao Sheng on the road, walked out, looked at the shadow guard a few times, and showed a vigilant look on his face.

Li Si forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "I, can I take a look at your cow?" ”

“......”

The strong man was stunned for a moment, and then his brows furrowed.

"What did you say?"

He thought he had misheard.

Seeing this, Li Si repeated: "I heard that you brought two cows when you came, can I take a look at those two cows in your house?" ”

The strong man thought he was entertaining himself, and frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"My family lacks two cows to plough the land, and I want to buy yours."

At this moment, Li Siman's mind was full of the two cows, and the reason was also to think of where to go.

The strong man glanced at the shadow guard behind Li Si, suppressed his anger, and said, "My cow is to be used to give birth, not for sale!" ”

Heard for cubs.

Li Si was even more excited, his eyes burst into light, and he said, "The cub is good, the cub is good!" ”

The description of the cub is a cow.

And cowpox mainly appears on cows!

Li Si stared at the strong man directly, and said in a trembling voice: "I'll give me a hundred taels of silver, show me your cow!" ”
