Chapter 28 Arrest and escape from the county
"Doctor, save my brother, please save my brother."
"Hey, Miss Jiang, forgive me for being incompetent."
"Woo...... Please save him, woo-woo-woo......"
"Miss Jiang, Brother Ling's strange illness is incurable, and now that the epidemic has just passed, I would like to take the liberty of Brother Ling, has Brother Ling ever taken the elixir given by the Taoist?"
"It's not a plague, my brother didn't get the plague!"
"Hey, it's a big matter, it's not a secret, the matter of Brother Ling's strange illness has spread, the shopkeeper has already reported to the official, and the people in the yamen are coming, Miss Jiang, let's do it yourself......"
The footsteps were far away.
The girl sobbed as she carefully wiped Jiang Wuji's face.
At this moment, Jiang Wujian woke up.
"Brother, brother! Woo woo woo ......" The girl buried her head in the crook of her brother's arm and wept silently.
Jiang Wujian gently patted Xiaoyu's back and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been almost half a month......"
The girl wiped away her tears and brought a bowl of warm white porridge.
"Brother, you must be hungry, right? Drink some porridge quickly. ”
"Okay, I'll do it myself."
He took the mud bowl from the girl's hand and poured it into his stomach in a few gulps.
Although it doesn't conform to common sense, in fact, Jiang Wuxi is not hungry, but the taste of this porridge......
"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious? I asked the shopkeeper to prepare it early in the morning. Seeing Jiang Wujian frowning, Xiao Yu asked.
"It's okay, just that Langzhong is also called by the shopkeeper?" Jiang Wujian asked.
"Well, we are not familiar with the county seat, so we can only trouble the shopkeeper." Xiaoyu sighed, and I felt pity.
Jiang Wuji patted the edge of the bed and said, "You sit here." ”
"What's wrong, brother?" The girl sat down obediently.
"Let my brother look at your feet."
"What?"
"Look at your feet."
"Brother......
The corners of Jiang Wuji's mouth twitched, and he found that his lines were a little bad, but he definitely didn't mean anything else.
"Don't ink, stick your feet out."
"Oh, oh......"
In the aesthetics of ancient deformities, the so-called feminine beauty is to show their "feminine" side.
Petite, delicate, demure and to have soft curves, etc., since "small", cherry mouth, willow waist are all feminine beauty characteristics, therefore, feet are no exception.
Therefore, in some places, there is a custom of binding feet, that is, binding small feet.
Wrapping small feet is to wrap women's feet tightly with cloth to make their deformity smaller, generally women from the age of four or five to bind their feet, until the adult skeleton is shaped before the cloth is untied, there are also lifelong wrappers.
There is no distinction between rich and poor people who bind their feet, but there are not a few people who do not bind their feet, Jiang Zhiyu is one of them, or there is no custom of foot binding in Leping County for a generation.
Although Jiang Zhiyu did not bind his feet, when he took off the other party's foot clothes, he still revealed a pair of white slender jade feet.
The girl turned her head around at this time, her cheeks were crimson, her teeth were biting her red lips, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Just when she was worried in her heart, her brother's voice sounded with some questioning.
"How did the injury on your foot come about?"
"Huh? This, I accidentally fell. The girl withdrew her feet and clasped her knees with both hands.
"How did you fall?" Jiang Wujian asked again.
Jiang Zhiyu frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and said, "Just suddenly, and then that's it." ”
It's not Wei's, it's the corpse of the little foot girl, and the injury on the little fish's foot is exactly the same as the aunt at that time.
Fix the people around me, right...... Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will settle the old accounts with you one by one!
Seeing that his brother was no longer staring at his feet, Xiao Yu hurriedly put on his foot coat back.
"Brother, we don't have much silver."
"Have you finished spending it on me?"
"Hmm...... It's really expensive to ask Langzhong. ”
"Don't look for it next time, it's useless, I'm not sick."
"What's not a disease?"
Jiang Wujian was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "It's a matter of cultivation, it's not a big deal, just find a master to give you advice." ”
"Oh, that's ......," the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I got up and moved my muscles, and suddenly I heard the sound of wheels outside.
When he came to the window, Jiang Wuxi saw several wheelbarrows, that is, carts.
The things on the cart were stacked high, covered with a few sheets of white cloth, and were being delivered out one cart after another.
At this time, Xiaoyu came over and said, "These are corpses. ”
"Corpses?!" Jiang Wujian was surprised.
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "They are all people who died because of the plague, some family members took them away, these are all unclaimed, and there are also whole families who have died, and now that the epidemic has just passed, the yamen has relieved his breath and sent the coachman to transport the corpse to the corpse pit dug outside the county and burn it." ”
As the cart passed by the inn, a rancid stench that could not be covered by a white cloth filled the air, which was disgusting.
"By the way, brother, there was another incident when you were unconscious." Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something.
"How?"
"Recently, it has been rumored that there are evil spirits, saying that there are corpses in Qingyu Mountain, with green faces and fangs, stiff but not rotten."
"Zombies?"
"Well, that's what everybody says."
"Wait, Qingyu Mountain? Isn't that our ......" Jiang Wu got goosebumps all over his body.
Jiang Zhiyu lowered his voice: "The corpses of the villagers were also found by the people of the Yamen, and now the Yamen suspects that the villagers were sucked dry by the zombies, and in addition, the Yamen also found that the money and silver in the village had traces of theft, so it is suspected that the demons drove the corpses, and they are investigating ......."
Jiang Wuji's brain was buzzing suddenly.
Good guy, this person is unlucky, he will really choke to death if he drinks saliva, it seems that this county really can't stay.
"Brother, don't let anyone know that we are from Qingyu Village, otherwise we will definitely cause trouble!" Jiang Zhiyu reminded.
"Okay, got it." Jiang Wujian nodded.
At this moment, a group of people wearing black clothes and scimitars suddenly appeared on the street.
On their clothes, there is also an embroidered word "ya".
The errand of the yamen!
"Brother! Run! Come on! ”
Xiao Yu exclaimed: "I have been looking for Langzhong recently, but I can't cure your illness, and now I am talking crazy outside, saying that you are infected with the plague!" These people are here for you! Run, the officials won't listen to our explanations! ”
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, don't be afraid, I'll deal with it."
Rubbing the girl's hair, Jiang Wuxi put on a Taoist robe, took the copper coin sword, and went downstairs.
At this time, the water outside the inn door was already surrounded by the messenger, and when the leading officer was still talking to the shopkeeper, Jiang Wujian had already strode over.
"Find me."
"You're the one who got sick?" The officer raised his eyebrows and glared.
The shopkeeper on the side hurriedly bent down and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it's him, it's him!" ”
The leader waved his hand and shouted.
"Take it away!"
