Chapter 64, No Queen

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two days, except for the Taiping thieves and the Xia family warriors who have repeatedly come to screen, Willow Hutong has been calm and fine, and there has been no news from Daddy Fang Baicao's side.

However, if there is no news about this kind of thing, it is the best news, and Fang Rui is not in a hurry.

It was noon.

Jiang Ping'an came to visit, sent the urgently purchased materials, including meat, eggs, oil, etc., and left them to eat and accompany Fang Rui to drink.

Fang Xue's family, the three ladies, Fang Ling, Nannan, a group of female dependents and children, ate in the back room.

Fang Rui and Jiang Ping'an sat down opposite each other on the stone table under the willow tree in the courtyard outside.

Under the cool shade of the trees, the breeze is gentle, and the sunlight is divided into broken gold by the willow leaves, mottled and floating, and the shimmering pieces.

On the stone table, there is a table of sumptuous meals: a large pot of stewed old hen, egg custard, fried soybeans...... There are also two catties of cooked beef, which can be seen with a clear texture on it, and the taste is strong and fragrant, so it is just right to use it for wine.

Gurgle!

Fang Rui picked up the wine jug and poured Jiang Ping'an a glass of old rice wine, the wine was clear, the aroma was mellow, and it rippled in the breeze and sunshine.

"In the past two days, I have seen the Xia family's warriors and righteous army officials screened again and again, but they are searching for the remnants of the Lin family?" He asked deliberately.

"Not really."

Jiang Ping'an picked up the wine bowl, smacked it like a baby, and replied: "The remnants of the Lin family, that night, have almost been killed, only some of the second room escaped, but they have already left Changshan City. ”

"But then again, the Lin family is worthy of being one of the two top families in Changshan City, and they are really rich! After copying the Lin family, the righteous army ate a lot of money, and directly sent a sum of money to the people below, and in the past two days, the business of the green buildings and restaurants in the city has been very popular......"

"Far away! As for those who are really searching,"

Jiang Ping'an looked around, and said in a low voice: "The Xia family and the rebels are searching for the murderers who killed the three six-rank murderers of the Xia family that night. I heard that the murderer is a five-grade master! ”

"Five products?!"

Fang Rui pretended to be surprised: "Have you ever found it?" ”

"Where can I find it?"

Jiang Ping'an waved his hand: "The entire Changshan City has been sifted like a sieve, but I haven't even found a shadow." I heard that the old lady of the Xia family was furious about this and killed several subordinates who were incompetent! ”

"Later, the Xia family also complained that our rebels did not work hard, and even suspected that the murderer who killed the three six-rank warriors of his family was hiding in our rebels...... Brother Fang, don't you think this is ridiculous? ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Fang Rui didn't expect that he, the hidden black hand, would also intensify the contradiction between the Xia family and the Taiping thief.

In fact, to be honest, with Changshan City's existing investigation methods, it is basically impossible to find him.

What follows the smell and so on?

Fang Rui was extremely cautious, every time he made a move, he would carefully check it repeatedly before returning, and use the dark energy that could be three inches away from his body to 'kill the virus' for himself.

And without definite clues, such a large-scale screening is even more impossible to find people. After all, his identity on the surface is really impeccable.

The only way is to leave Fang Rui on the spot - his strength can only be done by a fourth-grade martial artist, and now, in the entire Changshan City, there are only a few old ladies of the Xia family and Zuo Boyang of the righteous army.

Fang Rui would not be stupid enough to make a move in front of the two of them.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that the Xia family can't find anyone in a haystack, and the old lady of the Xia family can only be incompetent and furious.

- Don't blame us for not giving up, but the enemy is too cunning!

Fang Rui asked quietly, "Brother Jiang, what will happen to this matter?" ”

"Follow-up? The Xia family and the righteous army had a very unpleasant quarrel. The righteous army didn't have the patience to go on, how many things to be busy in the city, and yesterday they had already ignored the Xia family and let them toss. The Xia family didn't give up, it was another day of screening yesterday, but they still didn't find it......"

Jiang Ping'an said casually: "If you want me to say, it's good that you can't find it, if you really want to find it, such a fierce and vicious murderer dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the first thing to suffer is our group of officials who are blocking the front and catching ......."

If he knew that the people who had been sifting through the city and were searching for them were sitting across from him, he didn't know how he would feel.

"Evil spirits? Not so much, not so much. ”

This feeling of 'not knowing people in person' is very strange, Fang Rui raised his eyebrows: "I heard rumors that the fierce man who killed the three sixth-grade martial artists of the Xia family is a hero......

"Hey, Brother Fang, you are naïve, such a murderer, how can you be good with it? Even if he is really a hero, he will not show mercy when he is captured like us like this! Jiang Ping'an shook his head.

After chatting for a few words, the two skipped the stubble.

Jiang Ping'an said suddenly: "In the past two days, the rebels have been infected with foci, fever, headache, vomiting, and more than one case, and I don't know if they came to the city from the mountains, and they are not accustomed to ......the water and soil."

He said this as a joke, and he didn't pay much attention to it, just passing it aside.

"Oh?"

Fang Rui seemed to be a little allergic, his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously said, "Could it be the plague?" ”

"No...... Right?! ”

Jiang Ping'an's wine bowl raised to his lips paused, and his eyes widened: "Brother Fang, you are laughing, how can the plague appear so easily?" I've only heard of how old I am, and I've never seen it before! ”

"Besides, so many people died when the city was broken, and they were all right, how could it be possible now? Ha ha! He laughed dryly, saying that it was impossible, but there was some hair in his heart.

"Who can say for sure this kind of thing?!"

Fang Rui shook his head: "In short, let's pay attention to ourselves, and there is no big mistake in being careful." ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Ping'an nodded seriously, obviously listening.

……

After dinner, wait for Jiang Ping'an to leave.

Fang Rui entered the house and called Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan, and explained cautiously, don't go outside in the past two days, and try not to go out.

Fang Xue and the others agreed.

Although they thought that the plague that Fang Rui said was unlikely, Fang Rui was the head of the family, and he was still used to obeying his words.

In fact, Fang Rui also thought in his heart that it was unlikely, the plague, that kind of small probability thing, how could it be so easy to encounter?

But.

Again: there's nothing wrong with being careful.

Moreover, the preparation still had to be done, Fang Rui specially contacted the caravan channel that left Changshan City, and asked Fang Xue and the others to pack their things to ensure that they could leave at any time.

……

Midnight.

Fang Rui was awakened by the bright light outside the window, got up vigilantly, and looked out the window.

Saw:

In the direction of the Lin family, there was a firelight rushing into the sky, blurring half of the sky.

"Is this a misfire?! No, if there is a fire, there should be a sound shouting for fire outside. ”

"That's deliberate, but ...... What is this burning?! ”

Fang Rui had a bad premonition in his heart.

Although he was suspicious, he didn't go to inspect it - the Fang Xue family, the three ladies, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan in the family still need to be taken care of, and besides, what if it was some kind of moth made by the Xia family, specializing in fishing?

"That's it, in the middle of the night, even if I know what the situation is, many things, I can't do it......"

"Besides, if something really happens, Brother Jiang should come over early tomorrow morning to inform him, and my family will know before most people."

Fang Rui suppressed the apprehension in his heart and continued to sleep.

……

Sure enough, early the next morning, Jiang Ping'an came in a hurry.

"Brother Fang, something is wrong, I'm afraid there is really a plague in the city!"

'Oh, I'm a prophecy?! Fang Rui's heart jumped.

Without waiting for him to ask, Jiang Ping'an hurriedly explained: "Two days ago, Brother Fang still remembers the Lin family's annihilation?" ”

"The rebels copied a lot of money from the Lin family, but because there are many dark rooms and tunnels in the Lin family, they will not be able to find them all for a while, so they left some people to search over there......"

"Last night, two soldiers of the rebels found a dark room, but in it, it was not gold and silver treasures, but corpses, and rats, which were devouring and biting on it...... Vomit! ”

Jiang Ping'an patted his chest, retched for a while, then suppressed his nausea and continued: "For an autopsy, those corpses were originally living people, tied up, and there was no food in the secret room, only live mice, and they were eaten alive by rats...... It can be seen that it was not accidental, but deliberate by the Lin family! ”

"Several such dark rooms were discovered one after another, and it is said that there are traces of the doctor's involvement......

'Otherworldly version of biochemical experiments?!' ’

Fang Rui secretly pondered, frowned and asked, "So, the fire in the direction of the Lin family last night was burning the source of the plague?" ”

"Exactly!"

Jiang Ping'an bowed: "After discovering such a dark room, it immediately attracted the attention of the righteous army, and the investigation found that the soldiers who were infected in the past two days basically participated in the Lin family's extermination operation that day...... simply ordered and set fire to the Lin family. ”

"But it only solved the source of the plague, those infected soldiers, who have been out for the past two days, I don't know how many places they have gone and how many people have been infected...... Woe to you! ”

"This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! Lin Jia......"

Fang Rui's brows furrowed, and he suddenly recalled that night: "No wonder, at the last moment of that night, Lin Xiong's expression was a little wrong, it turned out to be like this, and a big thunder was buried. ’

It's just that this means...... It's too bottomless. Deliberately create a plague, the slightest carelessness, is a city to the end! ’

'If you can't control Changshan City, you will destroy it?' What a ruthless heart! ’

Fang Rui was cold in his heart: "I thought that the methods of the righteous army and the Xia family were too cruel, but now it seems that they are still too merciful to the Lin family!" ’

"Yes! Looking back now, the Lin family is afraid that they have been prepared for a long time, and they are determined to destroy Changshan City and fly away. ”

Jiang Ping'an sighed: "Thanks to the righteous man who killed the Tiger Gang leader Chongji Hu and the Wild Wolf Gang leader Duan Wolf, the conflict between the Lin family, the Xia family, and the righteous army intensified, and the latter two took action against the Lin family in advance...... Otherwise, when the Lin family is fully arranged and leaves safely, I am afraid that the spread of the epidemic will be more ferocious and more unexpected! ”

"I heard before that after the Lin family was wiped out, there were hundreds of people in the family, and only some escaped in the second room, and they were pitiful for the Lin family...... Now it seems that the whole fuck deserves it, why does the Lin family keep killing their grandchildren?! ”

Jiang Ping'an gritted his teeth and said.

"The initiator, there is no aftermath!" Fang Rui said lightly.

This is not a simple statement of indignation.

The Lin family in Changshan City has already entered the blacklist of his small book, not for a hundred years, but for a thousand years, this sentence must be turned into a fact.

In short, completely offended an immortal to death, and the Lin family in Changshan City was in trouble!

"Not to mention the Lin family, in view of the current situation in Changshan City, what does the righteous army say? How are you prepared? Fang Rui asked.

"Those soldiers and patients were isolated, and doctors were called to discuss ...... Other than that, the rest, has not yet been said. ”

Jiang Ping'an smiled bitterly and shook his head: "However, Brother Fang doesn't have to worry too much. Of those infected soldiers, ordinary people died a few; The martial artists are all fine, and those who enter the martial arts have stronger resistance, that is, fever, vomiting, and headache...... lost some vitality, and basically carried it through. ”

"And the seventh-rank and eighth-rank martial artists are just a little feverish, and there is nothing to do after that."

Does this mean that the epidemic is not very lethal? I'm not afraid, but my mother, the third sister, Ling'er, and Nan Nan are all ordinary people! ’

How could Fang Rui not be worried?

It's no wonder that he has such a big killing intent in his heart towards the Lin family in Changshan City!

"Okay, Brother Fang, I came here to inform you of the news, and now I have to go back, maybe there will be some orders from above......"

"Brother Jiang, wait!"

Fang Rui stopped Jiang Ping'an, went into the house, and after a while, took out a pile of simple masks made of double-layer silk cloth, and some insect repellent sachets: "This is an insect repellent sachet, needless to say, just hang it on your body like a sachet." ”

"As for this, it's called a 'mask', and it's ...... to wear on your face like this."

He said and demonstrated: "It's mostly for sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces, which is my heart!" ”

For the plague, Fang Rui naturally knows that the main transmission routes: respiratory transmission, rat-flea transmission, and contact transmission.

Contact transmission is relatively best prevented, mainly the latter two: respiratory transmission, rat-flea transmission, and masks, deworming sachets, can be targeted prevention.

These gadgets were all made by him after dinner and before going to bed when he heard the news yesterday, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"Brother Fang, we have such a friendship, I won't say much about other words of thanks, let's go! Take care! ”

Jiang Ping'an turned around and strode away.

……

Send Jiang Ping'an away.

Fang Rui turned around and went back to the house, told the news of the plague, and distributed the masks and insect repellent sachets to Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan, asking them to wear them.

Unexpectedly, whether it was Fang Xue's family, the three ladies, or Fang Ling and the two little girls, there was no panic.

The two little girls are just fine, I don't know anything, but Fang Xue's and the three ladies are ......

'Hey, this is a plague, do you have a snack?!' ’

Fang Rui complained in his heart, and asked directly: "Mother, third sister, do you have such a good mentality?" ”

"Huh? Brother Rui, don't you say it, as long as you don't go out, there are still masks and insect repellent to protect you, what are you afraid of? Fang Xue said as a matter of course.

"Yes, Brother Rui!"

The third lady brought him the washing water, and said with a gentle smile: "There are you at home, only you are there, and we are all steadfast and not afraid of anything." ”

In the past, Fang Rui's calm and cautious style of action brought them great confidence, and they gradually developed a habit that as long as he was the backbone, he was fearless.

"This ...... Your faith in me is too much. ”

Fang Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking about this, he only felt a heavy weight in his heart.

In addition to the trust in me, there are: mother, third sister, may have some psychological preparation, but still don't think seriously enough! ’

He knows how exaggerated it is for the real plague to spread - like his previous life, such a big country can be tossed up and down tired, not to mention that in this era, 'no rooster crow for thousands of miles' in the history books is really not an adjective!

'This time, more than ever, there is no physical enemy, and I have no strength but no use...... This is a war without gunpowder! ’

Frankly speaking, Fang Rui didn't have much confidence himself, so he proposed: "Mother, third sister, why don't we leave Changshan City?" ”

"As for my father's side, it has now been generally confirmed that he is not in Changshan City, let's go to another place and inquire slowly, it's the same......"

At these words, the third lady was not easy to answer, and looked at Fang Xue.

"Okay." Fang Xue thought for a moment and agreed.

She knows Fang Rui's vision, and many facts have proved Fang Rui's foresight.

Hearing that Fang Xue and the three ladies all agreed, Fang Rui's heart was relieved: "I just hope that it's still too late to leave at this time!" ’

……

After breakfast, Fang Rui hurriedly went out.

Not long after.

He returned to Willow Hutong with an ugly face, leaving the caravan in Changshan City, someone was sick and couldn't go, and he needed to postpone.

It can be said that in this case, even if he can go, he will not dare to follow the caravan.

As for not following the caravan and leaving on your own?

In such a year of great drought, there are so many displaced people and mountain bandits outside, leaving in such a hurry, there is no caravan to guide the way, and no one else takes care of each other, the consequences are ......

It is better to take Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan to stay in Changshan City.

At least if you stay in the city, you may not be infected, and even if you are infected, with Fang Rui's medical skills and the medicinal materials hoarded in the cellar, you may not be fine.

Taking a step back, you can also add some medical skills......

Home.

Before entering the door, Fang Rui used his dark strength to 'kill the virus' again, and only then did he enter the door, his face was full of worry, and he said the news that he couldn't leave.

"Brother Rui, you can't go, so let's not go!" The third lady felt Fang Rui's depressed mood and quietly took his hand as comfort.

"Yes, it's okay, we're together as a family, don't be afraid of ......"

Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Fang Xue shook his head, and the other party Rui Wen smiled and said: "Brother Rui, we believe that you are true, but don't put too much weight on your shoulders, if there is anything, let's just carry it together." We may not be able to help much, but it's okay to share the ups and downs......"

"And us!"

Fang Ling took Nannan's hand, and the two little girls also squeezed over.

The bright golden sunlight in the early morning, through the hazy water vapor window, left a beautiful silhouette, and the shadows of the five people snuggled together, swaying slightly on the mottled yellow mud walls that have been many years old.
