Chapter 45: Liu's Fever
The treasury of the imperial city was swept away by her, and it was a problem for the dog emperor to eat by himself, and there was really no way to help the people, maybe she had to find a way to help these people.
"Keep walking, be sure to rush to Qingshui Town before tonight!"
Song Chatou shouted in front of him, leading the team to go against those homeless people.
The outcasts were so busy running for their lives that they didn't have the heart to pay attention to the exiles.
Only a few well-meaning people spoke out to dissuade Song Chatou and them a few words, telling them not to go any further.
Song Chatou didn't pay much attention to it, but he was still unswerving.
In the evening, everyone really saw the city wall of Qingshui Town, and there were still a large number of homeless people walking out of the town.
The town of Clearwater is low-lying and has rivers crisscrossed inside and outside the town, and those who want to get out of the town have to wade through the rushing river.
Song watched an old man being swept away by the river because of his bad legs, and his children cried and wanted to save the old man, but were stopped by the people around him.
It can't be saved, the water here at the gate of the town is not too deep, but the water on both sides is higher than a person, and there is an undercurrent surging underneath.
Mo said that he was an old man, even if he was a young man who was washed away by the water, he couldn't escape.
Even the town was flooded like this, and the small villages nearby must be even more miserable.
Xuzhou, a water city, became a flooded city in just a few days.
Song Chatou clearly remembered that the rainstorm had only been falling for a few days, so why was the flood so serious.
Taking advantage of the break, Song Chatou went to ask the passing homeless again, and only then did he learn the reason.
It turned out that long before the post station where Song Chatou and they were located began to rain heavily, it had been raining heavily for more than half a month in Xuzhou.
There are many rivers here, and once it rains, it will not stop for ten days and a half, but this year, the rain was rapid and long, and before the rain stopped, the river embankment dam was washed away.
Neither the officials nor the people reacted, and there was no time to repair it.
By the time they realized that something was wrong, the flood had rushed to their doorstep.
They could only flee for their lives, and nothing else could be cared about.
The exile party sat on the side of the road, and not far away were the displaced people who also stopped to rest.
They had nothing to eat at all, so they had to dig up wild vegetables on the side of the road.
Some of the displaced people were lucky enough to carry their family's food before the flood came, while others were lucky to be able to save their lives and escape from the flood.
The homeless people who had food tore up the wild vegetables, boiled some water, took out a little grain from their grain pockets, and boiled them together with the wild vegetables to make a paste.
The paste was green and black, and when the water was boiling and bubbling, it was like a dark dish made by some witch, and it was really unbearable to look at.
But even if it is such a difficult thing to swallow, those homeless people swallow it as if they are eating something delicious in the world, for fear that others will come to rob it.
The homeless people next to them who could only gnaw wild vegetables were really staring at it, and they didn't know if they had not yet reached the stage of annihilating humanity, or if they were afraid of something, so they didn't even start grabbing food.
Or maybe you're not hungry enough to go crazy.
In contrast, the exile team is eating steamed buns and a small piece of wolf meat per person, which is so happy that people are envious and jealous.
The wolf meat was specially saved by Song Chatou, and he found that the wolf meat was not easy to spoil after being roasted dry, so he asked Yacha to keep some of it.
Each person takes a small bite of meat at each meal, and although it is not much, it can still make people taste the meat.
I have to say that Song Chatou is really the most humane escort chatou in history.
He did not oppress the prisoners, and he did not condone the servants under his command to manipulate the female dependents in the exile team, and even thought about the prisoners when they had food.
Thinking about it this way, Song Chatou is an out-and-out good person.
Zuo Xingyan didn't know much about the exile, and these were all told to her by Jing Yannian and Yuanyuan.
Although Yuanyuan is young, she is not simple, she knows a lot of things, which Jing Jingnian and the Yang family told her.
Jing Jingnian, as the concubine of Wuwei Houfu, if nothing else, he will inherit the position of marquis in the future.
Therefore, he has never doted on his daughter, nor has he locked her in a greenhouse.
Those dark and insidious things outside, when he discusses them, he will not shy away from Yuanyuan.
So although Yuanyuan is kind and well-behaved, he knows that people's hearts are sinister.
"I've heard people say that in the past, some of the officials who escorted exiled prisoners would drag the women out of the exile team and take turns humiliating them. If the women died, the officials would report that they had died accidentally, and the other prisoners would not dare to say anything anyway. ”
Jing Yannian also knows these well.
Zuo Xingyan couldn't stop smacking his tongue when he heard it, "Those people are really evil!" ”
"So Daddy said, Lord Song is a good person, although he is sometimes fierce, he has never bullied others."
Yuan Yuan said, looking at Song Chatou not far away with big eyes, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
"Indeed." Zuo Xingyan held his cheeks with his hands, and agreed with Yuanyuan's words very much.
"Yutong, come here." Not far away, Yang's call for a round circle.
Yuan Yuan sighed crisply, said to Zuo Xingyan and Jing Yannian, and quickly ran back to his father's side.
In this environment, Zuo Xingyan still knows how to keep a low profile, she didn't take food from the baggage anymore, but just obediently nibbled on the steamed buns sent by the yacha.
"Lady, lady......"
As the sun approached, everyone fell into a deep sleep, and there was a sudden urgent call from the Jing family.
Zuo Xingyan slept lightly, and immediately opened his eyes to check the situation and found that it was Jing Yi.
He was holding the unconscious Liu, as if something had happened to the Liu.
Song Chatou hurriedly got up and went over to check, "What's the matter?" ”
Jing Yi raised his head and asked Song Chatou for help, "My lord, please save my lady, she is going to die!" ”
Seeing that Liu's eyes were closed, his cheeks were red, his breath was terrifyingly hot, and his body spasmed twice from time to time, no wonder Jing Yi was so frightened that he was about to cry.
"Put her down first! She's having a fever. ”
Song Chatou was experienced, and when he saw the wound on Liu's arm, he immediately understood what was going on.
Jingyi has no owner of the six gods, and after listening to Song Chatou's words, he hurriedly did so.
However, Song Chatou and the others did not have antipyretic medicine at all, and the only Jinchuang medicine on their bodies was also distributed to the Jing family.
"Go get some water!" Song Chatou threw Jing Yi an empty water bladder.
Jing Yi was busy, but fortunately, at this time, water was the most indispensable thing.
Zuo Xingyan saw that the Liu family had already burned and began to talk nonsense, and after thinking about it, he decided to go over and take a look.
"Lord Song, we have picked a lot of herbs in the mountains before, and there should be antipyretic."
Zuo Xingyan took out a handful of herbs from his baggage and handed it to Song Chatou.
When Song Cha looked at it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"That's great, Miss Zuo, you pick out the antipyretic herbs, let them boil them later, and the Liu family will be saved!"
"My lord, I'll make medicine for my mother." At this moment, the Bai family stood up and took the initiative to ask for help.
