Within Allah's Coastal City.

Long.

Alayanzong stopped his grief and stood up, and then untied the items behind him.

For the sake of ease of movement, before going down the mountain, he found castor skins and rolled them into ropes, tied the herbs in bundles, and tied them behind him with a hare and a pheasant. Throw the basket on the mountain.

Although he ate some dried fruits, he still felt hungry, and when the master was gone, he had to arrange food.

He skinned the hares and deboned them, and the pheasants were feathered and fleshed, which was cut into thin slices and salted.

Make a fire, put the slices of meat in the pan and grill until jerky. Put a slice in your mouth, chew it, and it tastes good.

Then I boiled some more water, and ate supper with dried meat and dried fruits.

He began to pack his things and decided to leave the city.

From what he saw and heard during the day and at night, he concluded that this was an empty city, and now he was alone in the city.

Even if he wanted to stay in the city, there was no food here, and the official food in the city had been exhausted half a month ago.

When the people of Li ran out of food, they would also steal and rob, and the city was once in chaos.

The lord of the city also contracted the disease and died, and the family died several times one after another, and the rest were even more terrified.

Other officials were even more panicked, unable to protect themselves, and finally did nothing.

The soldiers defending the city were not spared, 89 out of 10 of the 500 soldiers died of the epidemic, and the remaining 100 people changed into civilian clothes and fled for their lives.

Faced with the threat of starvation and the fear of death, not only the common people, but also the eunuchs and merchants began to flee one after another.

If Master hadn't fallen ill half a month ago, he might have followed the fugitive army and fled for his life.

It was precisely because Master needed to be taken care of that he couldn't bear to leave. Master is so kind to him, how can he be willing to leave him and leave alone?

Master is a highly skilled doctor. Common diseases are eliminated from hand to disease, and incurable diseases are also studied more.

For this plague, Master has painstakingly developed a prescription, and many of the patients who have taken the medicine he prescribed have recovered, but after all, many have not overcome the disease.

Master is tired.

In this small town of more than 40,000 people, there are only a few clinics. When a large number of people were infected with the plague, Master could not diagnose and treat it even if he worked day and night.

Alayanzong was responsible for catching and boiling medicines, and cooperated with the master to treat patients, and soon all the herbs at home were exhausted.

Alayanzong went up to the mountain to collect medicine during the day and went home at night to boil it.

The master and apprentice are still busy, endlessly.

More and more people are getting sick, and a large number of people are still dying.

The imperial court sent dozens of imperial doctors and brought a large number of herbs, which naturally reduced the burden of diagnosis and treatment for the master.

After all, because of the increasing number of infected patients, Master was still overwhelmed.

The imperial doctor couldn't bear it, and someone was infected. One passed two, two passed three, dozens of imperial doctors died, and the remaining few fled in panic.

Some of the doctors at other clinics died of the disease, and the survivors also fled.

Master's pressure here is even greater, and the burden is heavier, and although the number of residents in the city has decreased significantly, the number of patients who visit the city every day is still the same.

Seeing someone die on the street before he had time to seek medical treatment, Master was extremely distressed and finally exhausted. Master fell, also infected with the plague.

Fortunately, the Alayan Sect knew the prescription and specially boiled the soup and poured medicine for the master, so that the master was able to delay the disease. Although it is not cured, it has indeed improved in the last two days.

Master's fever subsided, and his wheezing calmed down.

However, when Alayanzong saw that his master was getting better day by day, he was very happy, but he was slaughtered by the army.

After Master fell ill, all the health personnel fled out of the city in a hurry, but some left earlier and some later.

The shops closed one after another, not because they didn't want to do business, but because there was no one to buy them, and more importantly, they were afraid of contracting the plague.

The business of the owner of the coffin shop in the east used to be booming for a while, and three or five guys were busy day and night.

Alayanzong and Master were busy treating the sick, while they were busy making coffins and pretending to bury the dead.

Just when the owner of the coffin shop felt that his business was prosperous and his wealth was prospering, he unfortunately contracted the plague and died soon after.

The proprietress asked a few guys to make the last thin wooden coffin and bury the boss hastily.

Dismissed everyone, the proprietress packed up the gold and silver and followed one of the mighty and majestic men, and also fled out of the city.

Just yesterday, the father of Ula no Tao, who was two years younger than him, fell ill and died.

There are no coffins.

Alayanzong helped Ula Zhitao and her mother wrap the old man's body in a straw mat and transport it to the outside of the city for burial.

This morning, when Alayanzong went to pick herbs, he met Ula Peach and her mother who were just leaving the city.

When Ula Peach invited him to flee with him, he declined on the grounds that he still had to take care of his master.

Arayanzong will surely be the last fugitive from the city.

When sorting out the master's relics, when he saw a few books, Alayanzong was even more sad.

The master is still a martial artist.

These books, swordsmanship, stick skills, boxing skills, and medical skills are all the master's life's work. He compiled it based on what he had learned before.

Although Alayanzong had memorized these books for a long time, he couldn't bear to throw them away and decided to take them away.

He wrapped the books in oiled paper, wrapped them in a few pieces of clothing, and packed them with jerky and dried fruit.

There is also a set of knives that Master uses to perform surgical operations, which is Master's favorite. The Alayan Sect could not bear to abandon it.

A short sword with a ruler length, Alayanzong has liked it since he was a child, but because it is too sharp, the master does not let him touch it easily. It wasn't until the last two years, when he had grown into a big boy, that Master let him play.

Alayanzong is equipped with a short sword, which can be regarded as a self-defense weapon.

What Master didn't know was that Alayanzong had also beaten three small throwing knives in the blacksmith's shop, which was his favorite, and he had been practicing it since he was ten years old.

Usually, the knife is hidden in the leather pouch around the waist, which is covered by the hem of the jacket, and it is not visible from the outside.

It is not advisable to bring too many things, too many mobility difficulties. After much hesitation, he decided to bring the freshly picked herbs with him. It is not easy to collect medicines, these herbs are already difficult to find, and they may be useful.

When he had packed his things, he went back to his room to rest.

Where can he sleep, what flashes in his mind is the bits and pieces of getting along with Master day and night in the past ten years.

He is gifted and intelligent, but he is not good at learning literature, and is only interested in dancing with guns and sticks. Although he also knows the art of medicine, he is not proficient in it, because his mind is not there. As long as he had time, he went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.

The master did not force him, and he was deeply pleased to see his increasingly refined martial arts.

The master and apprentice have studied many times, and when the master compares, his martial arts are already too much higher than the master, and there is no need to teach him anymore, but he just told him that he must cultivate his mind to practice martial arts.

It is said that martial arts is the art of justice, the art of kindness, and it is not possible to do evil, but only to uphold justice.

said that his father was a general, and he should be like his father, have the weight of a general, and not insult his father's name.

He took these words to heart.

No matter how much he missed his master, he had to force himself to sleep for a while, because he had to get out of the city before dawn, so as not to be discovered by the defenders and cause trouble.
