Chapter 35: The Burning of the City
Luo Xue stretched out her hand, checked his pulse, and checked the situation in his body. The meridians are stagnant, and the situation is not optimistic, so it is estimated that he stays with these patients all day.
Luo Xue did not hesitate, and began to alienate the meridians for him, and after a quarter of an hour, the square-faced doctor opened his eyes and looked happy
"Miss Luo is really a master, I feel much better at this moment, and I asked the girl to help my two colleagues also recuperate."
The middle-aged physician and the other physician with a short beard saw that the square-faced physician seemed to be effective, and they also put down the busy affairs in their hands and came up.
Luo Xue checked his condition one by one, except for the middle-aged doctor, who was slightly better, the short-bearded doctor, like the square-faced doctor, was not very optimistic.
"Don't expect too much from a few doctors, my ancestors' mental method is at most to sort out the meridians for the three of them, delay the disease, and if you want to be cured, you have to rely on the three of you to develop a prescription for this epidemic. ”
After explaining this, Luo Xue tried her best to sort out the meridians for them, and half a day passed in a blink of an eye. Both of them were suppressed, they were very happy, and they were a lot more cordial with Luo Xue
Through talking, Luo Xue also learned that the middle-aged doctor's surname was Tan, the square-faced doctor's surname happened to be Fang, and the short-bearded doctor's surname was Wei.
They were all sent to Yancheng by the Emperor of Yan to treat the epidemic, and at first the patients were quite improved after a few pairs of medicines, but then somehow, it became more and more serious.
There are more and more sick people, and until today, there is no healthy person in Yancheng, and they are all infected with the disease.
And because they have direct contact with patients every day, they have not yet developed a new prescription, and they have also contracted the disease. The prescription has not improved, but their bodies are getting weaker and weaker, and they thought that this time they would have to explain here together, but they didn't expect things to turn around.
"Miss Luo is really good, she has a lot of skills at a young age, and I am really ashamed of myself, old man. Through the exchange, Dr. Tan admired Luo Xue very much and praised her endlessly, and Luo Xue was embarrassed.
"Doctor Tan has a good reputation, I happened to be a little help when I hit a blind cat and a dead mouse, to be honest, I am very interested in medical skills, and I hope to learn a little medical skills from the three doctors in the future. ”
"Miss Luo is too modest. You have helped us a lot today, if you can resist this calamity, in the future, the old man will know everything about medical skills" Doctor Tan was in a good mood, and the other two doctors also smiled and nodded.
At this moment, everyone smelled the smell of gunsmoke, "Something is lit here"
Doctor Fang picked up the fan and fanned it, and looked around, but Luo Xue felt that something was wrong.
When you look at it, the city gate is full of dry wood, the ground is wet and oiled, and a fire is burning, and the fire has spread to the outer houses.
The victims who had entered the city were running in panic to escape the fire, but there were many houses in the city, all made of wood, one after the other.
Sooner or later, the fire will engulf the city together, Luo Xue looked out of the north and south gates, but saw that the outside of the city on both sides was heavily guarded at this time.
The soldiers were crowding around, many with torches in their hands and arrows lit by fire, and they were throwing them into the city. Luo Xue's heart was shocked, this is to burn the city!
Is it no wonder that the city was suddenly opened in the morning, and that the bodies of those who had died of the plague were laid out in the city and were not immediately burned because the city had been abandoned.
All the powerful and powerful were evacuated, and the remaining sick people, including the three doctors sent by the imperial court, were abandoned here to be buried in the city.
Luo Xue's heart was cold, and she couldn't watch it. Retracting her senses, Luo Xue opened her eyes, "Three doctors, do you know where there is a well?"
Seeing Luo Xue's solemn expression, Doctor Tan hurriedly asked, "Miss Luo, but what happened?"
"The entire Yancheng is about to be burned down, there has been a fire on the periphery, the north and south gates are guarded by officers and soldiers, and now all those who can still stand up need to go together to get water to extinguish the fire, this is the last hope!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and at this moment, the victims who fled from all directions ran over one after another, shouting loudly as they ran, "Oh no, it's on fire, it's on fire, and the officers and soldiers are going to burn the city."
The scene is chaotic, and at this time, if we can't work together to extinguish the fire, it will be too late to wait for the fire to cover up a little more.
Luo Xue couldn't care so much, she got up and jumped, stood on a roof, used her spiritual power, and said loudly
"Everyone, please be quiet," the spiritual urging voice clearly echoed in everyone's ears, and the crowd was a little quieter.
Luo Xue continued, "It is a foregone conclusion that the officers and soldiers will burn the city, if you don't want to die, listen to me."
As long as they can still stand up, regardless of men, women, and children, they should immediately go to the well to get water to extinguish the fire, and all of them will be moved, and if it is a little later, they will all die here and be buried for Yancheng!"
Hearing this, everyone seemed to see the last glimmer of hope to live, and the crowd scattered and went to fetch water.
Luo Xue let go of her divine sense, followed the direction of the water source where everyone went, and after locking a total of sixteen wells in the city, Luo Xue used her spiritual power and performed spiritual control techniques.
Sixteen water columns rose to the sky and entrenched over Yancheng, forming a transparent layer of water curtain, covering the entire Yancheng, differentiating into the periphery of the fire, and turning into rainwater.
The fire was just too big. A little rain can't be extinguished, and many of them turn into water vapor when they touch the fire.
Fortunately, Luo Xue is now handy at controlling spirits, and her spiritual power can barely support it for a while, so the fire has also been suppressed under the continuous spraying of water droplets in the sky.
At this time, the surviving people also carried basins, buckets, kettles, and various water utensils to help extinguish the fire, and with the support of everyone, the fire gradually showed signs of being extinguished.
On the tower of the city gate, a man is drinking and having fun with a beautiful woman in his arms, flirting with him from time to time, and the beauty in his arms laughs again and again.
I was about to lean my face and kiss Fang Ze, but at this time, there was a report from outside the door, the man showed a little impatience, straightened his clothes, sat upright, and said in a deep voice, "Come in"
A soldier pushed the door in, saw a beautiful woman in the house, and immediately knew that he might have swept the general's interest, and he was quite apprehensive in his heart, but when he thought that he had something important to do, he could only report it head-on
"General, when we were burning the city, it suddenly rained heavily and extinguished the fire, what should we do now, do we still want to continue throwing fireballs?"
When the man heard this, his face became a little serious, "This rain is strange, the houses on the ground are wet, and it is no longer feasible to set fires."
The city is temporarily closed, and it is strictly forbidden for people inside to come out, and everyone is asked to take precautions to avoid infection" After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled to go out quickly.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly agreed to go out, and did not forget to bring the door before leaving.
Seeing that the flames were finally gradually extinguished, Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the roof and began to recover her spiritual power.
I don't know who took the lead in shouting thank you to the female bodhisattva for raining down and putting out the fire, and the house where Luo Xue was was surrounded by a dense crowd of surviving people after a while.
They were unkempt and had black and gray faces, and at this time they put down the pots and buckets in their hands to extinguish the fire, and knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing to Luo Xue, while shouting to thank the female Bodhisattva for saving her life.
"Everyone, get up, I'm not a female bodhisattva, I'm just like you, I'm just an ordinary person, and it just rained heavily, and it wasn't me who did it.
Maybe the sky is merciful and can't bear to let everyone die here today, so everyone should cheer up and fight against the disease, so as to live up to the grace of the rain from heaven."
Saying this, Luo Xue was also a little crooked by her own high-sounding, and she had goosebumps.
"Miss Luo, come and see if there is something wrong with this water. At this moment, I saw a small Doctor Wei wearing a doctor's gown hurriedly coming through the crowd with a basin of water.
Luo Xue rolled over and got off the roof, and released her divine sense to check the basin in the hand of the Chaowei doctor.
Sure enough, there was something wrong in the water, and there was a feeling similar to the kite that I had seen Li Zizi last time, and I must have been drugged in the water.
A sense of foreboding rose in my heart, but many people were here, and it was not a place to speak. Luo Xue had no choice but to suppress her thoughts, "Let's go back and say"
When she returned to the shed and saw that Doctor Tan Wei and Doctor Fang were waiting there, Luo Xue walked over, "Things are a little difficult to do, this water is drugged." ”
