Chapter 12: The Unlucky Abel
Needless to say, a series of ambiguous things happened after the four of them woke up the next morning, and after the four of them simply ate a little food, they began to rush in the direction of home, Si Nanpei could already imagine how many pennies were piled up on his desk - no way, although he didn't have any serious duties, but these chores were really only he understood, and the king was not afraid of Si Nanpei interfering in these aspects.
By the time we returned to Theresa's castle, it was nearly noon. The new castle designed by Sinampei is still under construction, and Sinanpei can hear the sound of construction workers tinkling in construction.
This made him very distressed, after all, the two castles were very close to each other, and he felt that the construction was strictly affecting his quality of life, and he had also mentioned that Theresa had moved to live in the town of Aliai to live with the king, but for her who had no official business to deal with, there was no need to rush to the city in the summer to find guilt.
And the chores that Sinampei handled, they didn't need many people to run around in the city, so they still didn't move out of this leisurely countryside after all-the quality of urban life in this era is really not higher than that in the countryside!
"Ah, I really haven't taken a shower for more than 20 hours, and I'm sticky, it's really uncomfortable. Theresa complained.
Sinampei couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the church say that taking a bath is not good for your health?" Although Sinampei knew that Theresa and her best friend especially liked to take a bath, and there were often situations where Sinampei came to look for her and she was taking a bath, but he didn't expect that Theresa was so diligent in taking a bath?
"You have to listen to the church in everything, you can't live yet!" Hillelia pouted, "Even if the Pope decrees that bathing is heretical, I will wash it the same!"
Theresa nodded vigorously.
Sinampe Khan. At this moment, a homeless man in tattered clothes on the side of the road suddenly pounced, and it happened in an instant......
Sinampei didn't react at all, but it was Kara who immediately protected Theresa and Shilmelia, who were very close.
"There are assassins...... "Sinampei subconsciously exclaimed—but there were no guards around them. But before he could finish the word, the homeless man fell to his knees with a pop.
I saw the homeless man crying bitterly: "Mr. Si, it's me, Abel!"
All four were stunned. Sinampei leaned down and helped the homeless man to his feet, then carefully examined his dirty face, and after a long time, he recognized the poor young man.
"Abel, how did you get down to such a journey? I remember leaving you a lot of activity funds at that time, right?" Si Nanpei asked with some weakness.
When he broke through from Pali City, the number of people he could take away was limited after all, and the king clearly ordered to give priority to the craftsmen and scholars, plus a bunch of dignitaries and nobles who could not be thrown away, so Sinampei had to discuss and let Abel voluntarily stay.
However, it was impossible for Sinan Pei to watch him die after all, so he used his authority at the time to leave him a sum of money, so that he could stay in Pali City as a decent person, and collect information by the way...... But Sinan Pei still felt very sorry, he just was.
"Pali City...... There's a plague outbreak in the city of Pali!" Abel cried with a handful of snot and tears.
"Huh?" Sinan Peiqiang resisted the urge to take a step back and quickly wash his hands, and reluctantly smiled and continued to hold Abel on his shoulder, "Abel, when did that happen?"
"The first outbreak was more than thirty days ago, and by three weeks ago, fifty percent of the people in Pali were gone!" Abel said sadly, "almost all of my boys died, and I myself almost went to see God, but fortunately there was a priest in the city who could heal......"
"And then, and then that Edward didn't know what he was mad about, and what kind of march he was doing, and something happened on the way, and the delicate Bishop of Pali fell to death on the spot, and then the whole city was in chaos, and some mobs began to make trouble, and they were all about, and I and a few poor sick people could not stop the mob alone......"
"The high-ranking people I can contact are almost dead, the intelligence work is no longer possible, and I have gathered some interesting information, so I have decided to come back and report to you and Your Highness...... On the way, I was robbed again, and everything of value was robbed of all my body, and I ate all these kinds of corpses all the way to survive. ”
Sinampei and the girls' faces were ugly. Needless to say, all kinds of corpses, certainly human ......
"Abel, there aren't many people who have fled from the north these days?" asked Sinampe, "The news of the plague in Pali has not been able to reach ......"
"Because everyone is dead, and when the plague broke out, there were basically no caravans in the city......," Abel touched his tears, "but before I escaped from Pali City, the plague had been contained, and not many people died, so I'm afraid it won't be long before you get all kinds of news." ”
"Abel, don't say much about the information you've gathered, go back and take a good bath, and let the servants warm up the water............" Sinan Pei wiped his sweat, the current Abel is no different from a mobile source of infection!
Abel wiped his snot and agreed.
The depressed Sinampei and Theresa looked at each other speechlessly. Although the plague in the north has made the people of Caledonia anxious, but since the north is so miserable, will the south be far away from such a tragedy?
There is only a prayer for the poor transportation conditions of this era that will not allow so many sources of infection from the north to flow into the south. Pray that these viruses won't be so viable.
But...... I'll have to go to the king for advice.
"Si, you follow me and go in person. Theresa commanded, "But...... Let's wait until I'm done with lunch, I'm done taking a shower, and then I'll go over. ”
"......" Although Sinan Pei was reluctant, he still agreed. Theresa's castle wasn't close to the town of Aliai, and it would be a terrible job to run in a carriage like this. But when it comes to such a big event, this is also something that has to be done.
"I'll go too!" Almeria smiled as she raised her hand, "I'...... I have some personal belongings that I need to purchase......"
Of course, the money was paid by Theresa.
Sinan Pei is considered to have accepted his fate, he was born a hard worker. Even if you are next to a little rich woman, you have to be busy to death......
