The interrogator said: "The lord of the mission, I don't know the severity of the matter, I see that the mission is demolishing the accounts, so I don't need to report anything, to see the delay of the master's trip." ”

spoke the dialect of the Western Regions, and turned Chen Lu into Guan Gong's face, secretly ashamed. The few words of this questioner, who were neither humble nor arrogant, left him speechless.

Open your mouth and close your mouth to the Great Celestial Empire, and keep saying that no matter at home or abroad, you are all a child of the Celestial Empire, preaching overseas and educating people's hearts. This slogan was shouted loudly enough, but at the critical moment, it was still an escape word.

Chen Lu came to his senses, glared at him, and said, "I have more than 400 people in the mission, can we solve the problem by staying here? Naturally, someone will be left to assist you in dealing with the epidemic, so you can talk about it well." ”

The interrogator thought that this was a mistake and blamed the Celestial Empire, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. Chen Lu asked him to get up and speak, and the interrogator got up, sat there, and explained the matter.

It is the spring famine season, and almost every household is about to run out of food, so people go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and set wild meat. There's no way, as long as you can eat, everything will be in your stomach.

There is a hunter here, named Mantai, who fought two badger rats with him. There are a lot of badger rats here, and they reproduce very quickly. But the locals worship the badger rat as a god, and no one dares to touch it during the spring famine.

Mantai's new daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, so she had no choice, so she put two of them and cooked them at home for her daughter-in-law to eat. After two days of eating, it was nothing, and on the third day, the daughter-in-law shouted that she was uncomfortable and out of breath.

The chief doctor came and gave her a little sedative, and she slept peacefully for the night. When he woke up the next morning, he was even more noisy, clutching his chest so hard that he didn't take a breath and died, one corpse and two lives.

The barbarian was furious and let the chief doctor die. moved a lot of peacemakers, gave seventeen taels of silver, and the chief doctor wore linen and filial piety, as a filial piety ceremony, and then gave up.

Who knew that a few days later, the chief doctor also died, exactly the same as the death of Mantai's daughter-in-law. The imam did the Dharma and prayed to God, and God said that the chief physician was asked for his life by his daughter-in-law, and one life was exchanged for another.

A few days later, the Mantai family all suffered from the same illness except for himself, which attracted the attention of the Institute of Reasoning and sent the imam to do it. The patriarch said that the badger rat was the prophet's pet, and that the barbarians not only killed him, but also ate the meat, and the badger rat sued God, and God punished them.

Mantai was not convinced, and said: "This is not right, my daughter-in-law is the only one in the family who eats, she is not eating well, and the family says that she offended the gods, so they buried the other badger rat meat, and did not even dare to move a mouthful of soup." ”

The imam ignored him, and it was a gods, and it was a show, and he spent a lot of money, but he couldn't save it, they all died, and the family was left with only one barbarian platform.

And that's not all, immediately after that, the imam, the dancers, and the mourners all got the same disease, and they all died in a few days.

The Yamen of the Institute of Science and Technology was in this village, and knowing that this was a plague, he quickly moved the yamen to a place fifteen miles away from this place and organized people to prevent the epidemic. Seeing that it had spread to two more villages, he had to order that he was not allowed to move around, and that he was not allowed to mourn when he died. Xiang Qianhu's letter to the Qianhu Office is whether to send troops to blockade the village, and now the Institute is waiting for a reply.

Chen Lu was angry in his heart, he had been watching this kind of thing for a long time, and he was still waiting for a reply from Shangfeng? But he couldn't say anything, and said, "You go back first, this is the big tent of the mission to receive you, if you have something to do, don't send someone, I'm afraid it will be infected." ”

The questioning officer took the order and left, and after walking not far away, Chen Lu asked, "Is that barbarian still alive?"

"Alive. ”

"Let him come here. Then he said to Ruhatu: "This is your station, so you should not enter the camp, and no one will be allowed to enter the camp." Ruhatu responded.

Chen Lu hurried back to the Chinese army's big tent.

Xizi came out, Chen Lu waved his hand and asked him not to come out, he stood outside and said, "Lord Lieutenant, my Zicheng has an idea, please approve it." The mission set up camp as soon as possible and set up camp a hundred miles away from the official road. I stayed behind to assist in the detection of the plague, and then went after the mission, leaving the people of Ruhatu behind, and a military doctor, and of course the gang leader. ”

Li Da was also very happy when he heard this, and said, "That's good, but you can't stay." It would be fine for Ruhatu and the military doctor to stay. There are still two quarters of an hour to go, so let's get ready. ”

Chen Lu said: "My son has made up his mind, please agree." Li Da just said categorically no, there was no discussion. Chen Lu didn't dare to say any more, and turned around to leave.

At this time, Dolan spoke: "Lord Lieutenant, I know that you are here to protect Lord Chen, and I will also stay to ensure that your Lord Chen is unscathed." ”

When Li Da heard him say this, he had no idea for a while. Chen Lu said: "My son Cheng first thanked the adults for their care. Please rest assured, ordinary evil things can't help my son. ”

Li Da made up his mind: "Okay, it's decided, it's just that Dolan is a girl's family, and it's inconvenient, so let's change to Langzhong." ”

Nalan said, "My lord, I will also stay and be my sister's companion." ”

Chen Lu didn't wait for Li Da to speak, and said first: "Others can keep it, but you can't keep it." ”

Nalan understood what he meant, but still deliberately asked, "What can't I keep?"

One sentence stopped Chen Lu, but the person he is good at words is usually not afraid of lip lawsuits, and he has to fight with others if he has nothing to do, so he immediately reacted and said, "If you don't follow the army, who will protect the adults?"

Nalan also did not show weakness: "When I am not in the camp, the envoy is also fine." General Ha naturally has a way. ”

Li Da was also a little unhappy, and he didn't know whether this Nalan was intentional or unintentional, he ran errands with Chen Lu again and again, burning Ha San's jealousy to the sky, and making the whole mission restless, but it was an errand, no way. Is it necessary this time?

Li Da thought about it carefully, if she didn't stay, Dolan really couldn't help it, she was a weak woman after all, she couldn't let her live in a tent by herself at night, right? Li Da had no choice but to agree, but Chen Lu just didn't agree.

Ha San saw that the big tent of the Chinese army had not been demolished, so he hurriedly ran over to take a look. found Chen Lu standing outside talking, gave a suspicious salute, and ran in to urge the account to be opened.

Li Da told the reason and told Ha San to leave Chen Lu's big tent and the two big tents next to him. Ha San was quite in favor, he knew that Chen Lu was almost a half-immortal, and the general epidemic did not pose any threat to him.

But he didn't want Nalan to stay, thinking that Dolan was really not easy to do, in turn persuaded Chen Lu to agree, Chen Lu felt funny, what else could he say?

Ha San arranged specific matters, left two gang leaders, two stoves, and a military doctor to assist Nalan, and all the soldiers changed into spring and autumn clothes and left the camp.

Chen Lu ordered that a fence be set up outside the remaining large tents. Dolan gave preventive medicine to all the people who stayed behind, and fed some of the horses and camels that were left behind. She made a large piece of medicinal cloth, tore it open, and distributed it to everyone, around her mouth and nose, and she made a demonstration herself.
