Looking at the fleeing villagers along the road, not only Song Shaoqin paid special attention, but the entire escort team was also worried!

After all, they had experienced robberies before, and they had heard the complaints of those bandits, and they had guessed at that time that they were afraid that the world would not be peaceful now.

As expected.

How long has it been, first rampant banditry, and now a large number of fleeing villagers, if it is not for the unstable living environment, who would want to move their families?

What they feared still happened.

Even a corrupt official like the Cao family has some insight into the political situation in the DPRK, and looking at the current situation, they can't help but feel a little anxious.

"How's that good?"

"Will we fight in Dongchu again?"

"Now that our team hasn't even reached half of the distance, can we reach Nanban smoothly after that?"

"Afraid of what? Even if you fight, you can't fight in a place like Nanban. ”

"It can't be civil strife, right?"

"Shh~ Don't say it, this is not what we should discuss."

At the time of the unitary, Hu Dazhi let the escort team camp and rest early, and it was really the situation he saw along the way that made him feel uneasy.

He hurriedly arranged for a few of his men to ride horses to check the situation nearby, so as to obtain comprehensive and accurate information.

He also shouldered the safety of an entire team, and he had to send the prisoners to Nanban smoothly to complete the task, and if something serious happened along the way, it was his responsibility.

A large part of the reason why they were able to repel those bandits before was that thanks to the mysterious and amazing weapons of the Song family, they could make people fall to the ground quietly and easily, and those bandits were also frightened by their battle.

The second reason is that those bandits can't be called authentic bandits at all, the real bandits are all ruthless, and they all have a little kung fu on their bodies, and the most important thing is that they are really people who see blood in their normal years.

And the gang of people they met before were at most called rogues, and they were completely formed by some gangsters, people who were forced to be helpless by life, and they were just a hard spirit.

But if he really encounters a large number of bandit gangs, then he really doesn't have enough manpower.

Therefore, Hu Dazhi had to avoid it in advance.

The refugees who were originally in a hurry saw that the escort team had stopped, and they also followed and stopped nearby, and they were ready to follow the escort team.

After all, they don't dare to guarantee that this road is safe, and with the official team, it can also be reassuring in terms of safety.

However, since ancient times, these common people have been afraid of those who are officials, even if it is just a messenger, but in their eyes, they are also people who eat official food, and they are much better than them ordinary people.

Therefore, the fleeing villagers did not dare to approach the escort team arbitrarily, and only dared to rest ten meters away.

"Mother, let's eat dry food at noon, just boil some hot water." Song Shaoqin suddenly spoke.

Su Lianying was about to cook with the ingredients, and when she heard her son's reminder, she was slightly stunned, and then her eyes couldn't help but look at the refugees not far away, and suddenly sighed secretly.

"Okay, my mother knows."

Su Lianying put away the cloth bag and began to distribute dry food for everyone.

Although she was sympathetic, she knew that she did not have the ability to save them all, so as not to cause trouble for the children.

Now, Cao Tianrong's family follows the Song family's team, but they are not mixed in food, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin both feel that both sides need independent space, and it is more comfortable to be separated.

And Cao Tianrong was separated from the Cao family, and he didn't get any luggage and belongings at all, but fortunately, Xia Ning sent a batch of materials to them before, and then sent a crockpot to them, so that they could cook and eat according to their hearts.

However, from time to time, they will send some food to their family, which is also an alternative subsidy, after a few days of recuperation, Xiao Xu's complexion and mental state have improved a lot, but they still insist on letting her lie quietly on the ox cart to raise the confinement for more than ten days.

Soon, Cao Tianrong and Mai Dong came back, but their expressions seemed to be a little unpleasant.

"Inquiry?"

Xia Ning asked the two of them curiously, how could it be such an expression? Could it be that a foreign enemy has really come in?

Since yesterday afternoon, they have seen some refugees one after another, but most of them are traveling in groups of three or five, because the number of people is not very large, and they are just puzzled, so they don't pay much attention to it.

After all, this was the first time they had met other passers-by on the way to exile, so they couldn't help but pay a little more attention.

Since this morning, they have met more and more passers-by on the road, and they are all in the same state of expression, which cannot but attract attention and curiosity.

Cao Tianrong motioned to Mai Dong to say, and the latter said directly, "Mrs. Hui, the two of us have each asked some villagers, and the situation is almost the same, and we can be sure that things are not far from ten."

These villagers are all from several villages under the nearby Qinghe County, and the reason why they fled with their families is also because of the outbreak of a plague in Qinghe County half a month ago."

"What?! Pestilence? Know what plague it is? Xia Ning was so shocked when she heard the two sensitive words 'plague' that she immediately interrupted Mai Dong's words.

Mai Dong shook his head, "They don't know very well. ”

At this time, Cao Tianrong added, "I heard from a villager that after being infected with the plague, he will have a high fever and in severe cases, he will even have hemoptysis. ”

"This" Xia Ning suddenly felt that this symptom sounded a little familiar, but she couldn't remember what kind of infectious virus it was for a while.

And the Song family on the side was also shocked by the news and were speechless.

Plague!

Since ancient times, there has been no cure for this plague, once infected, there is only a waiting for death, and the only way is to completely isolate those infected with the plague, and then completely burn all the sick and their clothing and supplies, in order to prevent the plague from spreading.

To this day, the world is helpless against the plague!

Song Shaoqin frowned, "You go on." ”

Mai Dong continued, "The plague that broke out in Qinghe County has affected several surrounding villages, and these villagers who escaped are also because their villages are a little far away from the county seat, but they are worried that the plague will eventually spread, so they have to evacuate with their families. ”

"Then how did the local county magistrate deal with it? What is the situation today? "Song Shaoqin never expected such a serious plague to appear in Shaanzhou.

Half a month ago? Isn't that what happened to their family?

But before he was imprisoned, he didn't see any mention of the plague in any Guan Wen, and there was no movement from other departments, and it seemed that no one had received relevant news.

In this way, there is only one possibility, and the people below suppressed this matter and concealed it!!
