275. Be filial to the end
At this time, someone outside the camp shouted, "The barbarian platform is coming." Chen Lu was about to leave the camp, Dolan had to follow, Chen Lu didn't let him, for fear of infecting them, Dolan smiled and said, "My lord, think about it, isn't it the same as if we went to yourself?"
Chen Lu thought about it for a while, and smiled, it was true, waved his hand outward, and walked out first.
Mantai was waiting outside the big tent, Lu Hatu asked him to stand five steps away, saw Chen Lu come out, saw that he was dressed as an official, covered his mouth and nose, he couldn't see his age, he could only see the dark, bottomless, and seemingly a little naughty eyes, judging that this person was about the same age as himself, in his twenties, Mantai immediately knelt and kowtowed.
Chen Lu asked him to get up and speak. At this time, someone had already brought a stool for Chen Lu, Chen Lu sat down and asked, "Are you Orion?"
"Yes, the villain knows that he has made a big mistake and harmed others and himself, and he also knows what the master wants to ask. "It's Mongolian.
Chen Luben spoke the Western Regions dialect, and when he heard him speak Mongolian, he also changed to Mongolian and asked: "I am a person who understands when I hear you, let me ask you, where is the body of your family?"
Mantai was stunned for a moment, he thought that the government was going to punish him, and hurriedly said: "It's all buried in his own backyard." This is the death order given by the reason, and those who dare to carry it out and bury it in the ancestral grave will put the living in prison. ”
Chen Lu nodded and asked, "Has your family taken any medicine?"
"At first, the chief physician was still alive, and he got some medicine to eat, but he also died, and some of the Lang Zhong below him refused to help, so there was basically no medicine to eat. ”
Dolan came over and asked him in Mongolian: "You are the only one left in your family, you still look good, what do you usually eat?"
Mantai replied: "The villain is old and young, and he can't mix it with a round belly once a year of hard work." Usually hunting, wandering around the mountains, I have to use the things on the mountains to satisfy my hunger, most of them are wild vegetables dug in the mountains, and the villain's favorite food is medicinal chicken gall. ”
Chen Lu and Dolan glanced at each other and shook their heads, and Dolan said, "Let's go to the village with you to have a look." ”
Mantai was taken aback and said, "Master, this is not good, the time has not passed, if you get it, you will get sick, and if you get sick, you will not be saved." You are all golden branches and jade leaves, but you can't take risks like us. ”
Chen Lu said: "We are officials of the Celestial Empire Mission, and since we know about it, we can't sit idly by. You lead the way, my old man will go with you. Then he turned back and said, "Let no one follow." ”
The medic said, "My lord, I'll go with you." Chen Lu waved his hand, made a whistle, and the big green horse ran over.
Mantai said: "Master, this livestock is also infectious, let's walk." ”
"It's okay, you just have to go on your own. Chen Lu said, leading the horse to follow, feeling as if there was someone behind, and when he looked back, Dolan was following with the medicine box on his back.
Chen Lu was taken aback and said, "You can't go, my old man will go to see what the situation is first, and then I'll tell you back, go back quickly." ”
Duolan shook her head, Chen Lu was anxious, and said, "Don't mess around, go back." That's an order. Dolan shook her head. Chen Lu came to the real temper and said, "Okay, you go, my old man just got off and went back to sleep." So saying, he led the horse and walked back.
Dolan seemed to turn a deaf ear, turned a blind eye, and still followed the barbarian forward. Chen Lu lost his temper, so he had to follow behind.
Nalan inside also saw it and shouted, "Master Chen, wait for me." ”
Chen Lu said angrily: "Defend the camp, make any more nonsense, and go after the mission." Nalan had no choice but to stop.
Chen Lu and the others walked for two quarters of an hour, and came to a fence outside the wall, and saw that there were a few people wearing linen and filial piety in the courtyard. Chen Lu and Duolan left the barbarian platform outside the courtyard and walked in. The people were taken aback, saw that it was an official, did not dare to stop it, knelt down and kowtowed, waiting for questioning.
Chen Lu and the others walked over and looked at the dead man, a woman who was nearly sixty years old. Duolan had already walked up to the corpse, saw that the deceased's face was bruised, and the bruises on his neck were bulging, and nodded to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu said: "Get up, it seems that you are not from this village." ”
Several people stood up and replied in Chinese: "My lord Mingjian, this is our aunt and grandmother, and we are here to mourn." ”
Chen Lu asked, "How many patients do they have at home?"
"And three patients, two good people. ”
Dolan had already entered the house at this time, and it was too late for Chen Lu to stop him. After a while, Dolan walked out and motioned to Chen Lu, and the two stepped aside.
Dolan said: "I have seen it, this is a plague that has long been extinct in your interior, and when it became ill, the qi and blood were not smooth, and the face was blue, and finally it led to respiratory failure, and I swallowed that breath in horror. ”
Chen Lu nodded and said, "Is there any way?"
Dolan said, "Get out of here first, go back and discuss it slowly." ”
Chen Lu turned to these people and said, "This disease is an infectious disease, don't you know?"
"I heard that our village doesn't have it yet, and the pavilion chief won't let us come, so we came secretly. We are all Han Chinese, and it is okay to die, but we can't be filial, and we can't shorten the number of ceremonies. ”
Chen Lu wanted to say, this is not filial piety, let alone etiquette, this is looking for death. He really wanted a big-eared melon seed to pick it up, beat them all over the ground to find teeth, and said angrily: "Your pavilion chief is right, you can't go back, just serve the sick here, and practice filial piety to the end, and you have done your courtesy." ”
After saying that, the two walked out. Chen Lu was a little anxious, seeing that the reasoning office here was okay, and it seemed that it was also being dealt with, and the boss Yamen had not said anything so far, it was really careless about human life. In the Celestial Empire, this will be held accountable, and there are even officials who have been beheaded.
Duo Lan didn't pay attention to Chen Lu's emotions and answered Chen Lu's question just now: "This kind of plague is recorded in many medical books, but this is not the Celestial Empire, the land is barren and the people are poor, where is the condition to cure the disease? ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Lu and found that his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth, and then he realized that he had burned him another fire. immediately changed his words: "Of course, this is not without a cure, such as this one." ”
Mantai greeted him, and Dolan asked, "Could you please do us a favor and take us to find the thing you often eat, what's it called?"
Mantai said: "Medicine chicken gall, no problem, this thing is everywhere here, I'll go back and get tools." ”
Chen Lu saw that the sun was already in the west, and he hesitated a little, he was afraid that Dolan would not be able to bear it. If it's Nalan, he doesn't have to worry, it's a female man.
Dolan seemed to understand what he meant, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, although the little girl is not your Nalan, she is not the daughter of the little feet." As he spoke, he still looked calm
Chen Lu made her see through her thoughts, a little embarrassed, and said, "Miss Dolan said that she was laughing, why did she become my Nalan?"
Dolan didn't show any expression, and she didn't make any distinctions. At this time, Mantai came out and walked to the back mountain with the two of them. Mantai said, "The master's horse." ”
Duolan saw that Chen Lu was looking at the distant mountains, and replied casually without thinking: "It's okay, don't care." ”
Chen Lu asked, "How far?"
"There are three miles of official roads and five miles of mountain roads. ”
Chen Lu asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
Mantai said: "Just this piece of official road, there are mountain roads in front, and you can't ride a horse." ”
