He can also say that he is a Ming monarch and that there is peace and stability under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

But that's not to hide your ears and steal the bell, and to deceive yourself.

Li Shimin's temperament does not allow him to be an emperor who lives in the imperial city, and since he finds a problem, he will solve it.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Yuan was no longer entangled in this issue, this matter has been shown to the world, there is no joke, no matter how much Li Shimin regrets it, he will not retract this sentence.

"By the way, I don't seem to have been here again recently, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still miss it a little." There was a hint of confusion in Li Yuan's tone, "It's a pity that on the day of the child's wedding, I was sick and couldn't go, so it's a pity after all." ”

Li Shimin said truthfully: That child went to Yongzhou. ”

"Smack

Li Yuangang shook his hand as soon as he picked up the preserved fruit for no reason, causing the preserved fruit to fall on the case.

"When? Why didn't you stop it?! ”

"Don't you also know that now that the plague is raging in Yongzhou, you actually let this child go to the land of right and wrong!"

Li Shimin had already guessed that Li Yuan would have such a reaction, and immediately said: "Father, don't worry, Shi'er has been vaccinated against cowpox and will not be infected with smallpox." ”

"And She'er ran out behind my back this time, and he also cares about the people and wants to do something for the people of the world."

Li Yuan naturally knew about the cowpox vaccine, especially when he first knew, he was full of praise for Qin Shou.

"I'm not worried about smallpox, but I'm worried that Yongzhou is too chaotic now, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong."

"At that time, even if you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it will be irretrievable!"

After a long period of persuasion by Li Shimin, plus a promise to Li Yuan to send another team of men and horses to protect Qin Shou's safety. Li Yuan was a little angry.

After walking out of Daqing Palace, Li Shimin looked up at the sky and muttered, "Calculate the time, Shi'er should be almost in Yongzhou by now." ”

On the fifth day after setting off from Chang'an, after a long journey, Qin Shou and his men finally arrived in Yongzhou.

Along the way, Qin Shou has seen too many tragic situations.

There was a smell of death everywhere, especially in the villages near Yongzhou City, which were even more sparsely populated, and even a few villages were completely empty.

When passing through the mountains, there was even a bunch of bandits who suddenly appeared, and were killed by Qianniuwei.

"Human tragedy."

In the early morning of the fifth day, the team stopped outside the Yongzhou City Gate, Qin Shou looked up at the closed city gate, and sighed faintly.

At first, Qin Shou could still give some food when he encountered the fleeing homeless, but as he got closer and closer to Yongzhou, the team's own food was a little precarious, and in the end they could only watch these tragic situations.

Today, Qin Shou finally truly feels what is called: Xing, the people are suffering. Death, the people suffer. As the lowest level, the people are the first victims of all disasters.

"Childe, give me a bite to eat."

When Qin Shou looked up at the city gate, a boy who was no more than six or seven years old was in tatters, his bare arms and toes were purple from the cold, and he even had many acne.

"Stop!" Qianniuwei Wang Jingjing gave an order, and the spear in the soldier's hand fell instantly, staggering in front of the boy.

Hearing this, Qin Shou suddenly felt a nameless fire rise in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but he saw that the boy's face was covered with herpes and pustules.

It's smallpox.

As soon as the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed by Qin Shou.

In the final analysis, Wang Jingjing is just performing his duties, and there are not a few refugees begging for food from the team along the way, and Wang Jingjing can't bear it, and even pulls out some of his own rations to help them.

And the reason why the boy was stopped was because he had smallpox.

"Childe." The boy's eyes showed despair, and he threw himself on his knees, "My mother has not eaten for two days, I beg you, just give me a bite to eat, I want my mother to be able to eat before she leaves." ”

Bean-sized tears dripped down on the yellow earth, quietly soaking down.

Qin Shou looked at the boy, his pupils trembled and trembled, and after a long time, he raised his steps and walked towards the boy step by step.

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

Looking at the pus on the boy's face, Qin Shou's voice trembled a little.

After hearing Qin Shou's voice, the boy raised his head, and then shook it gently, "My mother said, this is called a relief bag, it will only hurt for a while, just endure it." ”

"It won't hurt anymore."

It won't hurt anymore in the future.

For some reason, Qin Shou's heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by dense glass, making him breathe tight for a while.

Yes, it will only hurt for a while, and it won't hurt anymore in the future.

Cold corpse, how can you feel pain.

The boy's mother deceived him and did not tell him that the disease was called smallpox.

When the soldier with the spear heard the boy's words, he turned his face sideways, and could not bear to look at the young child again.

They have all been vaccinated against cowpox, so they don't need to worry about smallpox.

Wang San took out the dry food from his bag, walked to Qin Shou's side, and handed the dry food to Qin Shou.

After Qin Shou took it, he handed the dry food to the boy again, and said softly, "How long have you been out?" ”

"It's been a long time." When the boy received the dry food, he looked at it as if it were a treasure. "After Daddy unpacked the bag, Daddy took us out of town."

"It is said that the air outside the city is good, and the disease heals quickly."

"My father's illness has been cured, and he has been in the city for many days."

"It's been a few days in town." Qin Shou's eyes were slightly red, and he trembled and wanted to touch the boy's head, but he shrank back.

Fortunately, the boy kept looking at the dry food in his hand and didn't care about it, "Yes, I just don't know why, my mother's illness hasn't healed yet." ”

As he spoke, the boy's tone lowered.

Qin Shou gritted his teeth, asked Wang San to bring some dry food over, handed it to the boy, and said in a soft tone as much as possible: "Go back quickly, let your mother have a full meal." ”

After taking it, the boy wrapped the dry food in his clothes, nodded happily, and said, "Thank you, Childe!" ”

With that, the boy ran away as fast as he could.

The boy ran away for a long time with dry food, and along the way, some homeless people tried to rob him, but when they saw the boy's pus, they fled in fright.

Walked through the woods and made a few turns.

The boy stopped in front of a shack that was not a house at all, but a pile of grass and trees.

For some reason, the boy stopped in front of the grass and wood hut and did not go inside.

Instead, he carefully took out the dry food, and ate it one bite after another.

The dry food was very dry, and Xu was in too much of a hurry to eat, and the boy choked, hammered his chest desperately, and swallowed it.

After a short time, three steamed buns fell into his abdomen, and the boy took the stained residue of his clothes with the palm of his hand, shook it off, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After doing all this, the boy gave a rare burp, then raised his arm to wipe his mouth.
