Chapter 41: The Eunuch's Riot in the Lower Room (I)
The air was filled with a foul smell, flies and insects flew wildly, and everywhere was filled with painful moans and coughing and panting......
"How many are you carrying out?" The aisles on both sides are scattered with staring eyes, looking at the people carried out, as if they have seen themselves in the near future.
The guards with thick white cloth on their faces formed in twos and twos, and from the depths of the east hall they would carry out the little eunuch who was sure to have passed away, this was the earliest sick patient, from this morning, the door of the closed palace was only open for the deceased, and in the afternoon, the imperial doctors directly announced that they would not close the door, and they were heavily guarded, ready to carry people out to burn it at any time.
Close, open, close, open, open...... The gate was like a passage to the Yama Temple, waiting for their way to death.
The panic of the sick will kill people reaches its peak as the death toll continues to increase.
"Someone is dead again, I'm afraid, I don't want to die!"
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."
"Why are you putting me here?"
"I'm so hungry, I'm in pain......"
"I didn't do anything wrong, why did I get this disease, why did God punish me like this!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"
"Is there anyone who will come to help?"
"The Imperial Doctor will be here soon."
"Yesterday I heard that someone called the Imperial Doctor."
"How can anyone do such a stupid thing, what if the Imperial Doctor never comes again?"
"Can you only wait to die?"
"No, there are so many of us, and the little master in the palace, how can they ignore us? They may be too busy to take care of us for a while......"
……
Standing in front of the door of the eunuch's lower room, Mo Qing accompanied the old man and everyone again and again, watching wave after wave of dead corpses being carried away, and directly pulled up the crematorium in a large open space in front of the lower room, and burned it on the spot.
Mo Qing admitted that she was shocked, the heartstrings in her heart trembled, she was shaken, maybe she should have come out to help earlier.
"Isn't it only the fourth day? How did so many people die? After the silence, Mo Qing couldn't help but ask.
A student behind the old man replied: "It's just that on the fourth day that everyone thinks, there are actually many people who have a fever and feel unwell before they find out, but they can bear it very well, and in the end those who can't hold back are discovered." Therefore, this time is conservatively estimated to have to be pushed forward by four or five days before it is the outbreak point,"
"Yes, who doesn't have three illnesses and five pains, at first no one took it as a thing, until a large number of people with the same disease were recorded by the hospital, and then began to investigate thoroughly, it is not easy for the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to seek medical treatment, and there are many people who do not bear to report, and the number of infected people will not be able to control at this time." It seems that the people brought by the old man are all from the hospital, and it is a pity to mention this matter.
"Can I go in and have a look?" Mo Qing has already disregarded the identity of the slave and called himself me, but everyone will not care about a small title at this time.
"Mo Xiaoyou are sure?" The old man was afraid that Mo Qing would not be able to stand it, and his students went in to see it, and after many days of illness, the environment of the eunuch's room was worrying, because the eunuch could not bear it, and he was unable to clean it, and it was actually stinking inside, which was not too much compared to the latrine.
"Hmm." Mo Qing was sure that the original purpose of this trip was to enter it, but now it is a matter of course, and there is no need to bother with Aunt Yunxiu to do it by himself.
"Since Mo Xiaoyou wants to see it, then the old decay will be with you." Lu Yuan made him eager to try.
"You're old, but you're still ......" Mo Qing looked at the gray-haired old man, if this is dyed, it is difficult to say whether he will live or not.
"Huh~, the doctor is not afraid of age." For the difficulty of this plague, Lu Yuan's envoy is also challenging, he practices medicine, and he likes incurable diseases the most, and the more difficult it is, the more he likes to make up.
"Then for the sake of safety, please prepare more wormwood to smoke wormwood." Seeing that the Lu Yuan envoy was in high spirits, he thought that it was not just the purpose of accompanying him in, so he gave up, let's go together, and there was no problem compared to the precautions in place.
"This is already available, so my subordinates will go and get it." A discerning leader of the guards waited on the sidelines, and when he heard this, he immediately made a statement.
"The students are with them, too." The latter few spoke in unison.
Mo Qing glanced at it, and after talking to her and the old man, these people obediently asked Aunt Yunxiu for some masks to wear, and they were not pedantic people.
……
The four guards in front and back carried the smoke mugwort, and opened the road on the left and right sides, and the thick white smoke spread out in all directions, and as soon as they entered the door, they received a lot of attention and whispered.
The smell of the eunuch's room is really not good, through the doors and windows, the smell of urine and the smell of sweat from fever and sweat are mixed together, forming an extremely disgusting smell, which can be smelled while wearing a mask, but fortunately, the smell of smoke is neutralized.
Because there was a doctor in front of him who was beaten by a patient, although he was not injured, the head of the guard who came in this time was not at ease, so he brought a few brothers with good skills to follow him to deter some eunuchs who were inevitably irritable.
But gradually, some eunuchs who didn't know what they wanted to do followed behind, walking more and more.
Based on the deterrence of force and sabers, it is very peaceful for the time being.
"Babble~" The door of the east hall was opened.
Xiao Xiazi, who silently followed Mo Qing, was the first to rush in, because Mo Qing had explained, so Xiao Xiazi was agreed to follow.
"Brother Dongzi!" Xiao Xiazi excitedly wanted to share the good news with his brother Dongzi, he brought Mo to come, Mo promised to bring the imperial doctor, he knew, he knew, Mo promised to have a way!
Xiao Dongzi in the quilt didn't react, and he was drowsy.
"Ink ...... Miss Moqing, come and take a look. Xiao Xiazi ran out of ideas, and hurriedly called someone.
Mo Qing then came in, the smell of filth filled the room, some people vomited, some people wet the bed, and as soon as he entered the door, a heat wave mixed with all kinds of unpleasant smells came in the room, and he almost didn't vomit out the contents of his stomach.
"Quickly open the window, ventilate, and smoke the wormwood." Mo Qing couldn't help but take a step back, in this environment, the concentration of germs is extremely high, and even if you have a mask, it is difficult to keep yourself safe.
The guards poured in, opened the windows to ventilate, and the two smoked mugwort barrels released a sufficient amount of white mist, exerting their power in the invisible air.
The two guards carrying moxa buckets outside the door were not idle, and they also started the work of smoking mugwort around them.
When the smell dissipated, Mo Qing and the envoy of the Lu Academy went to see Xiao Dongzi first, and several other imperial doctors were not idle, and they all looked at the patients in the other rooms.
"Ouch, it's all burned out, and it's all burned out later." The envoy of the Lu Yuan walked in and said bluntly.
Mo Qing didn't have time to pay attention to the old man, and directly lifted the tightly wrapped quilt of Xiao Dongzi, wanting to cool down people first, a suffocating smell, Mo Qing reflexively turned his head.
Vomit~
