Chapter 220: Aftershock Plague
And just like that, five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qi Zhi's illness is obviously improving.
He came to the temple almost every day to play with Tang Miaoyan, and at the longest time, he might not go back in the afternoon.
The shortest one may have left in a quarter of an hour.
Tang Miaoyan only thought that he was in a hurry to recover, and didn't pay much attention to his hospitality.
On the morning of the sixth day, Tang Miaoyan woke up and had nothing to do, so he sat at the door of the hall and looked outside.
This is her biggest hobby in recent days.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't leave this courtyard, Qi Yue's people don't care about her.
And she sat at the door, always just looking out honestly, and there was nothing unusual.
At this moment, two women walked over from a distance, their faces full of worry, and their eyes were red.
"I only have this last relative! As long as the Buddha can protect my grandmother, I am willing to copy as many sutras as I want. β
"But all my family members are still in Jixiang Mansion! My father, mother, mother, mother, three brothers, two sisters, and a younger brother who is not full moon are all there! If I had known that there would be another aftershock, I wouldn't have come to my fiancΓ©'s house to mourn! If the marriage is yellow, it will be yellow, and now the whole family is dead, and it is impossible for him to want me anymore. What can I do? Now it's really a disaster that my mother-in-law's family doesn't have! Woowoowoo......"
The two women walked over as they spoke, and they both cried as they spoke.
Tang Miaoyan was stunned when she heard this.
She lives in a Buddhist temple and has been hearing many people talk about the disaster in Kichijo Mansion lately.
They are all talking about the aftershocks, the plague is rampant, and how many people will die every day.
The imperial court did not send a rescue team, I heard that even Dong Zhen, the former imperial hospital judge, was invited out of the mountain by the new emperor and sent to Jixiang Mansion.
Why is it that he has been gone for ten days, and no good news has come back?
"What is Miss Tang thinking?"
The maid came over to bring her tea, and when she saw her staring at the backs of the two women who were far away, she asked cautiously.
Tang Miaoyan is very easy to get along with, and she also hopes that they will be safe with each other, and in the end, they will be on good terms.
So when Tang Miaoyan didn't make trouble, these people were very thoughtful.
Tang Miaoyan came back to her senses when she heard her voice, turned her head to look at her big watery eyes, and asked:
"How far is Jixiang Mansion from the capital?"
The maid was stunned, although she didn't understand why she asked like this, but this answer was within the scope of what she could say:
"More than three hundred miles."
"So close?"
After Tang Miaoyan said this, he regretted it a little.
In ancient times, when there were no cars, only horse-drawn carriages and two-legged walks.
Three hundred miles is not a short distance.
But the words have already been spoken, and she can't change it even if she wants to.
I could only smooth my long hair with some embarrassment, and sure enough, I heard the maid exclaim:
"Miss Tang is used to riding horses, thinking that the horse is fast all the way, so is the distance close? You must know that today's Jixiangfu earthquakes are continuous, and the official road has long been destroyed. I also heard from pilgrims passing by yesterday that the road to Jixiangfu was so bad that it was difficult to walk on two legs, let alone ride a horse or cross a carriage. There are even some places that are no longer passable, and even if there is no lockdown order, no one can get by. β
Speaking of this, she sighed deeply, looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the west, and continued:
"I heard that there are more than 10,000 people in Jixiang Mansion, and now two-thirds of them are infected! The imperial court sent waves of doctors and officials, but none of them returned. Everyone now calls Jixiangfu a bottomless pit behind their backs, which is a fire pit that no number of people can fill. β
When she said this, she thought that Tang Miaoyan would answer something.
However, unexpectedly, Tang Miaoyan just stood up and walked to his room.
The maid was stunned, not only chased after her and asked:
"Miss Tang, what's wrong with you?"
"Not really! It's just a little sleepy, so I don't sit anymore and go back to sleep. β
Tang Miaoyan stretched lazily and yawned at the right time.
Even the eye circles are slightly red.
It looks like I'm really sleepy.
When the maid left, Tang Miaoyan was lying in the quilt, but she was looking at the top of the golden curtain, quite speechless.
More than 10,000 lives!
As a doctor, the plague is rampant, and she has an unshirkable responsibility.
Thinking of the last time, when fighting the smallpox plague together in Jinlan County, Tang Miaoyan was also blocked from going.
And now?
It seems that as long as she can break through the temple, no one will be able to stop her from going to Jixiangfu.
But now she can't go.
Song Yuanfu hasn't been rescued yet, even if he goes to Jixiang Mansion to get a large amount of underdrawn.
She can't go either!
The life of one man is compared to the life of ten thousand.
Tang Miaoyan felt that she was simply confused.
Which is lighter and which is heavier?
As a doctor, can't she tell the difference?
She should go to Jixiangfu!
The more Tang Miaoyan thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't stay here anymore!
Even if you are sorry for your godfather and godmother, even if you want to save Song Yuanfu and give up halfway.
There are more than 10,000 lives waiting for her in Jixiangfu......
"Miss Tang! Miss Tang! β
When Tang Miaoyan was frowning, he heard a call outside the door.
Maybe it's because she heard the maid say that she just lay down to sleep.
So it was inconvenient for Qi Zhi to come in, so he had to stand outside and shout loudly.
"What's wrong?"
How did he come so early today?
Tang Miaoyan got up suspiciously, put on her coat, and put on her clothes in twos and threes.
Only then did he take the initiative to walk out of the door, and he saw Qi Yue and Qi Zhi coming together today.
Both of them were wearing ordinary muslin shirts, and their appearance and temperament were very different.
Standing together, but there is an inexplicable harmony.
Whoever said that they were not brothers, no one else could believe it.
"It's rare that the weather is good today, let's go shopping together!"
Qi Zhi smiled like the warm sun in March, and as he spoke, he pointed to the carriage that stopped in the courtyard when they came.
Tang Miaoyan subconsciously looked at Qi Yue.
The man managed to get her and imprisoned her in the royal temple.
Can you really let her go out for a walk?
"What's going on? Going out shopping, and you're stupidly happy? This woman likes to buy and buy the character, and she is really the same. β
Qi Yue gave Tang Miaoyan a faint smile back, this was obviously said to Tang Miaoyan, but he deliberately patted Qi Zhi's shoulder.
Qi Zhi was even more happy when he heard this, his face turned red, he took a few steps forward and grabbed Tang Miaoyan's sleeve, and couldn't help but drag her to the carriage.
"What do you want to buy? What do you want to eat? What do you want? As long as you say it, I can give it to you. Let's go to the streets now. Don't stand still and delay the time! β
Tang Miaoyan was half-pulled and half-pushed by Qi Zhi and brought to the carriage in this way.
It wasn't until the carriage left the temple that Tang Miaoyan came back to his senses.
"I want to go to the biggest herb shop."
