Chapter 73: Disaster Strikes
The epidemic and love of Xinghe were first discovered in a little-known small village in Xinghe Xipan, and it was named Hexi Village because it was in the west of Xinghe.
That year, the upper reaches of the Xinghe River burst the embankment, and the water rushed down, flooding the entire Xinghe County, although some people were spared, but the epidemic brought by the flood after the flood caught the people of Xinghe County off guard.
A widower in Hexi Village, because only one daughter married to another place, died at home for many days and no one found out, and when the neighbors in the village found his body, it was already crawling with maggots, and the people in the village felt unlucky, so they buried the widower's body hastily, only thinking that it was old and died naturally, and did not investigate deeply, until later, the villagers who had come into contact with the widower's corpse had a rash one after another, and began to vomit and diarrhea, and the high fever did not go away, which aroused the vigilance of the village doctor.
But the speed of the epidemic spread too fast, and by the time the imperial court got the news and sent people to Xinghe County, half of the people in Xinghe County who had escaped the flood had already died from the plague.
Although Jiang Tian is still young, she had already followed Jiang Chen three years ago, and when the epidemic spread most severely in Xinghe County, she shuttled among the sick to feed them medicine, check their pulses, and burn their bodies.
She is the person who knows the epidemic in Xinghe County the most, as long as she takes a look at the patients in Cunshantang, she can know whether Qing Dai's guess is true.
Time was pressing, Jiang Tian simply made a mask for herself, and when she wanted to hand it to Qing Dai, Qing Dai said, "Miss, that person was in charge of the doctor's treatment just now, and Bai Qi was responsible for it, so she had long been suspicious, so she didn't let me have any contact with that person, otherwise she wouldn't let me come to Miss, just Bai Qi ...... her."
Jiang Tian stuffed the mask into her hand, and her subordinates kept moving, first cutting the fabric into a suitable shape, and then smearing it with herb juice against the plague, "Don't worry, if it is really the epidemic in Xinghe County, we developed a prescription three years ago, and Bai Qi is the most diligent of you, she will definitely be fine."
Jiang Tian grasped the mask he wanted to bring to Bai Qi in his hand, his expression was firm, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Qing Dai or comforting himself.
If it was an epidemic in Xinghe County, they did have a ready-made prescription, but what she didn't say was that the epidemic in Xinghe County had been completely eradicated by the Divine Doctor Sect three years ago, and if it really reappeared in Luming County, it must have been deliberately done by someone.
Today, because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are no patients in Cunshan Hall, except for the person suspected of being an epidemic, now there are only Chen Da and Bai Qian, Bai Qian has long been protected for the two, and the sick person was also isolated by her alone in the empty house in the backyard, but when she saw Jiang Tian, her face still changed, "Miss, this is not the place where Miss should come, Miss should go back quickly."
She stepped back as she spoke, widening the distance between herself and Jiang Tian, "I have carefully studied that person's illness, and it is undoubtedly the epidemic disease in Xinghe County, I have been in contact with Chen Dadu in the past few days, and you must not come to the hospital, miss."
Bai Qi and Qing Dai are the medical women trained by Jiang Chen, the three of them are master and servant, but they are more like a master-apprentice relationship, Bai Qi works hard, Qing Dai is more out of the box, for more than ten years, Bai Qi has been like a sister, taking care of Qing Dai.
That's it.
She took Qingdai away, she just didn't want to involve her, but she didn't expect Qingdai not only to go and return, but also to bring Jiang Tian here.
"Now that we know that it is an epidemic in Xinghe County, the most important thing now is to investigate and investigate why this epidemic has spread here in Xinghe County three years later. This epidemic is less like a natural disaster, more like a man-made disaster."
"I think so too, Xinghe County has hundreds of miles to say the least, and this epidemic has disappeared for three years, and its sudden appearance is already suspicious, not to mention that I see that the patient looks suspicious, I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
Jiang Tian took out two pills, one handed it to Bai Qi, and the other pressed it under his tongue, "Is it suspicious, what is sacred, or I have to meet in person to know."
She stopped Qingdai, who wanted to follow, and distanced herself from her, "Since Bai Qi has been in contact with that person, if there is really a problem, it is too late to avoid it now, you are so born in the front hall, if I have any accidents with Bai Qian, you remember to seal the backyard and not allow anyone to enter."
Where is Qingdai willing to agree, "Miss, where are you talking about, even if you want to go, it should be me, how can you let Miss put herself in danger......
"At a critical juncture, don't care about these false courtesies, you're not good at these, it's more important for you to take care of the outside than anything else."
Jiang Tian and Bai Ji turned around and went into the backyard, Qing Dai was anxious, but she could only follow what Jiang Tian said, she first smeared the medicine on her and Chen Da's bodies, and after ensuring that neither of them was infected, she sealed the entire Cunshan Hall.
Fortunately, Chen Da has been living in the backyard, and now that it is the New Year, he has saved a lot of food in the backyard, and it is not a problem to support a few people for ten days and half a month.
Although the two of them were not infected, Cunshantang received this patient and must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and Jiang Tian and Bai Qi will not leave for a day if they don't come out.
He family.
Jiang Tian didn't have any news back until noon, Yu Qingzhi knew that he was more than lucky, this day He Lianjun and Jiang Chen were invited by the head of the Shangshan Academy to go to the mountain as guests, Yu Qingzhi always felt that something bad was going to happen, she handed over the work in her hand to He Wanyue, and advised, "Wanyue, Sister Jiang hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid this matter is not trivial, you stay at home honestly, I'll go to the academy to find your brother and Jiang Chen, we must plan early, we can't sit still."
He Wanyue hurriedly nodded, "Sister-in-law, you can go with confidence, everything in the family is with me."
The customs of the Southern Dynasty are actually not much different from the modern life of Yu Qingzhi before, but the people of the Southern Dynasty are used to three or five friends from the Chinese New Year's Eve, or visit each other, or climb high and look far away to express their feelings, the mountain chief of the mountain academy has been friends with Jiang Chen for a long time, and accidentally heard Helan City mention that Jiang Chen now lives in their home, and sent someone to send an invitation early, strongly inviting He Lianjun and Jiang Chen to the mountain as guests.
The two of them set off from home before dawn in the morning, and now they are being led by the mountain chief, and they are interested in the scenery inside and outside the academy.
Helan Cheng was by the side, looking reluctant.
"This kid in Lancheng, although he has a lively temperament, has good qualifications, and now there are many disciples in the academy, and he is the most popular with me."
Li Xiuwen, the chief of the mountain, is a wonderful person who has no flowers and no wine, but he will get drunk when he drinks again, although he was stared at by Liu Meiyu this time, he still had the courage to drink a little drunk, he made a gesture to touch the top of Helan City's head, but was deftly dodged by the latter, which made him laugh.
"You two brothers, at first glance, they are not things in the pool, but I don't know when this small Luming County became the land of Wolong?"
A cold light flashed in He Lianjun's eyes.
The face of the person in front of him was slightly red, and his eyes were scattered, as if he was really drunk, but what he said made He Lianjun instantly vigilant.
Without waiting for He Lianjun to answer, Li Xiuwen pulled Jiang Chen to talk about the wind and snow, as if it was just a drunken remark from him.
In winter, the mountain is full of snow that cannot be melted, and the four of them hold umbrellas and go all the way up the winding path down the mountain.
The Shangshan Academy was built halfway up the mountain, and then except for the houses where a few students lived in the academy, only a white and vast natural scenery remained, and they climbed the stairs, and when they reached the top of the mountain, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on their bodies.
Li Xiuwen also sobered up when he saw it, and collapsed in the pavilion on the top of the mountain without much scruples, full of wanton freedom.
He seemed to sigh, but he didn't, "I think when I was young, I was raised by my ancestors in the capital, and I also saw many young heroes, although I was still young at that time, I still don't forget the demeanor of one person."
Li Xiuwen is eight years older than He Lianjun, his maternal ancestor is the king of the capital, although it is not a big family, but it is also a noble scholar, his grandfather Wang Songqing, the official to the prince and the prince, won the trust of today, Li Xiuwen has been raised by his side since he was a child, and he acted completely in the capital, when he was young, the old man Wang was still in the court, and the Wang family was naturally a family of nobles in Beijing, so no matter who set up a banquet, Li Xiuwen will be invited.
His words were quite meaningful, as if he remembered his old man, and he sighed, "Brother Jiang has lived in Penglai Mountain for a long time, but I am afraid that I don't know much about the family of the gate valve under the mountain, but I don't know who Brother He is?"
He Lianjun's expression remained unchanged, and he replied ambiguously, "I grew up in this county since I was a child, and I can count as this
county people."
Li Xiuwen shook his head when he heard this, with a look of pity, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I looked at Brother He's style, and I thought that Brother He was that person, but I didn't think that I had misunderstood, that person had an outstanding demeanor, but he didn't even have any blood left, it's really sad to think about."
Jiang Chen looked at He Lianjun, his thin lips pursed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
His hand clenched the long knife on the side, and his finger bones turned white.
Neither of them spoke, and Li Xiuwen was talking to himself and enjoying himself, "Do you know who I am talking about? It is the Duke of Wei who was quarreled and exterminated by the current saint on the charge of treason......
Before he finished speaking, the long knife in He Lianjun's hand was already across his neck, so fast that even Jiang Chen didn't react, "Say, who are you!"
He Lianjun's aura was fully open, showing the domineering oppression of the superior person, even Jiang Chen's face changed slightly, on the day of the competition between the two, it was clear that there was no distinction between the martial arts and the middle, but now it seems that He Lianjun intends to give in, he is far from being an opponent with the speed of the knife and the strength of the strength in his hands.
He was a little surprised, and hurriedly went to persuade, "Brother He, why is this?"
"This matter is not Brother Jiang's business, I will explain to Brother Jiang slowly when I have the opportunity," He Lianjun used a slight force, and forced Li Xiuwen to no way back, the blade was tightly pressed against Li Xiuwen's neck, and even a little deeper could have killed Li Xiuwen, "I thought you were sincerely invited, but since we met today, you have been constantly tempting me, if you don't answer honestly, I will take your life." 「
Li Xiuwen is just a powerless reader, but even at this moment, when he was very caught in the neck by a long knife, he only restrained a casual smile on his face, and with a bit of scrutiny, he said quietly, "Who am you, you ask? Then I want to ask you first, do you remember the teachings of your parents to you since you were a child, to teach you to do something and not to do something, to teach you to help the poor and save the world?"
Facing He Lianjun's long knife, Li Xiuwen's momentum was not weak at all, "You use this knife in your hand to deal with me, but you see that I am a weak scholar and do not know the slightest martial arts, then the He family boy, what are you going to use to deal with the one on the dragon chair?"
