Leaving Weiling City, several people in the carriage were still discussing Luda just now. Yu Xiaohang said with admiration: "Envoy Lu Jiedu is a real soldier, after listening to what he said just now, I am now enthusiastic, and I can't wait to join the army immediately." ”

"Not everyone in the army is like Ruda, even if there is a city guard on the front line, there is no difference between soldiers who eat and wait for death, even if you really want to join the army, you have to choose a good general to follow. Liu Buxiu recalled what he and Liu Fang had seen and heard in the days of begging in Yuzhou, and couldn't help but feel it and said.

Qi Delong just nodded, feeling that it made sense, and changed his words and said, "Oh, that's right. The shopkeeper, I've never heard you talk about the situation between you and Xiaofang in Yuzhou, why don't you talk about it now?"

Liu Buxiu waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this. "It's all old things, so don't mention it. ”

Seeing Liu's non-stop attitude, Qi Delonggang did not force it, and several people closed their eyes in the car to recuperate. The laughter of Qi Qi and Liu Fang in the carriage behind was particularly loud, and the girls really had endless words when they met each other.

The carriage swayed along the road, and although they were on the official road, it was still bumpy because the road was in disrepair. said that it was an official road, but it was very strange that there was no one on the official road, and Liu Buxiu and his party completely occupied the entire official road.

Yu Xiaohang observed the way and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Shopkeeper, even if it is an official road, there are a few people, whether they are fleeing or rushing, why have they walked for so long and not seen anyone?"

Qi Delong just guessed: "Could it be that the people who fled knew that Weiling would definitely lock the city gate, so they simply didn't go to Weiling?"

Liu Buxiu shook his head, "This is unlikely, every catastrophe Weiling knows, and the victims also know that Weiling will definitely not let them in, so they still come to Weiling in a hurry." ”

Yu Xiaohang suddenly thought of a possibility, his face became a little ugly, and he stammered: "Yes, shouldn't they all be dead, there are no refugees at all." ”

As soon as Yu Xiaohang said this, the three of them immediately looked at each other, and no one spoke. In fact, the three of them all thought of this possibility, but Yu Xiaohang said it, but as soon as he said it, he felt that the atmosphere was instantly a lot tense.

Liu Buxiu was worried in his heart, but he was still reassuring everyone: "No, let's think about the better place." ”

Mikasa is not far from Weiling, and it is only half a day's journey. Liu Buxiu and his party set off around the time of Shin, and by the time they could see Mikasa Castle from afar, it was already dark.

At this time, Liu Buxiu and the others did not dare to enter the city directly, so they asked the coachman to drive away from the official road first and turn onto a small road on the edge of a Weishui tributary. The men found a large open space by the river and parked the carriage.

Liu Buxiu beckoned everyone to get out of the car and said: "Mikasa's situation is still unclear, I haven't even met anyone along the way, and I can't find anyone to ask, let's not go into the city today, let's spend the night by the water, it's better to be bitten by mosquitoes than to be infected with the plague." ”

Everyone nodded, it was normal to wander the rivers and lakes and sleep in the wild, so no one raised any objections, and they were busy. When the five coachmen arrived at the edge of Mikasa Castle, their expressions were so nervous that they couldn't hide the frightened expressions on their faces. Liu Buxiu didn't want them to be in danger, and it happened that so many people had a lot of water, so the coachman loaded the empty barrels on a carriage and let them go back to Weiling first.

Liu Buxiu and Liu Fang were very skilled at picking up branches and hay, and quickly built a stone stove with stones, and the life of beggars in the past few years seems to have been very fruitful.

Zidron had just unloaded the carriage from the horses, and then gathered the horses together to let them rest. They didn't dare to let them eat grass and drink water casually, for fear of getting sick again, so Zidlong simply cut a pile of wood with his sword and made a fence to fence off the horses.

Yu Zhao and Xiao Yue connected the carriage with a rope, and then set up the remaining part in the middle with thick branches and spread licorice on top. After a little tidying up, it was made into two beds, but each of them had four wheels.

Yu Xiaohang unloaded a large pile of pots and pans from the carriage, and then began to prepare for cooking. And Qiqi consciously went to the edge of Weishui and took some of the water back to study.

Qi Qi was rarely serious, she took out a lot of finger-thick singing pipes from her package, the top was open, and the lower part was curved on the back cover. The most amazing thing about these pipes is that they are all transparent, you must know that there are few transparent utensils in the entire Southern Zhou royal family, so these few pieces in Qiqi's hand are probably not priceless but priceless.

When Qiqi came back with water, Liu Buxiu and Liu Fang had already made a fire, and Yu Xiaohang also put the cleaned ingredients into the pot to cook. While the water was boiling, everyone gathered around the stone stove and watched Qiqi's movements.

Yu Xiaohang asked, "Qiqi, what are these pipes of yours? ”

Qi Qi replied with a smug face: "This is the exclusive domain of our Thousand Machine Gate Jiang Yantang, called 'Test Tube'. Specially used to test medicinal properties and toxicity, there are only twelve in the entire Jiang Yantang, and these five were left to me by my mother before she left. ”

As he spoke, Qi Qi poured a small amount of water into five test tubes, and then took out more than a dozen small porcelain bottles from the package and added them to the test tubes one by one. The novelty of everyone's intuition stared intently.

The water in the test tube produces a lot of different effects when it encounters different herbs. Some of the water turned green and yellow, some produced some black or blood-colored sediment, and the most impressive test tube was that after adding medicinal herbs, the water in the test tube boiled, and then the water was steamed dry.

This scene simply opened the door to a new world for everyone, and everyone sincerely admired the pharmacological research of Qianjimen. When everyone was amazed, Qi Qi's expression became more and more solemn.

Liu Fang saw that the problem seemed to be more serious than expected, so she asked, "What's the matter, Qiqi, is there no solution to this plague?"

"It's not that it's incomprehensible, it's just that you've seen the water that has just been steamed. ”

Everyone nodded, Qi Qi frowned and pursed his lips, and said, "I have found a medicinal herb that can neutralize toxicity, and that is Shenbao." However, this herb is positive, too domineering, and will continue to affect the human body after the toxicity is removed. If this herb is really used to detoxify, the plague on the patient's body can indeed be removed, but after removal, it will be dehydrated and die in a very short time. Think about how painful it must be for a person to die as if he had been dried by the air. ”

Liu Buxiu sighed and said, "If this is the case, it is better to die directly because of the plague, even if you cure the disease in this way, it will only make people's death more painful." ”

Qi Qi nodded, his expression gloomy, obviously deeply remorseful for not succeeding in finding the perfect way to detoxify.

Seeing Qi Qi like this, Liu Fang couldn't help but step forward and patted Qi Qi on the shoulder and comforted: "Qi Qi, don't think about it first, just do your best, let's think about it tonight, if not, we will go back to Weiling tomorrow, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." ”

As he spoke, the thing was cooked, and the fragrance wafted out. Yu Xiaohang opened the lid of the pot, waved away the white smoke wafting out, put a spoonful with a spoon and put it to his mouth to taste it, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, he smashed his mouth and said: "Don't think so much about it first, come and taste my craftsmanship, this taste is simply amazing." ”

Now everyone stopped discussing it, after all, the stomach had been rumbling with hunger after a long afternoon's journey, and now there was nothing more pleasant than filling the stomach.

Yu Xiaohang took out the dishes and chopsticks, put a bowl on everyone, handed them to everyone in turn, and handed them to Liu Fang, I don't know if it was because it was too hot or not stable, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a clatter, and it was shattered.

"It's okay. Yu Xiaohang hurriedly asked.

Liu Fang waved her hand and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't hold it steady just now, I'll take these fragments aside." Saying that, Liu Fang began to bend down to pick up the fragments of the porcelain bowl, but the edges and corners of the porcelain bowl were too sharp, and he accidentally picked up and picked up, and his fingers were cut.

Liu Buxiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked over, grabbed Liu Fang's hand and looked at it, making sure that it was okay, just making a cut. So he said with a little reproachful concern: "Fang'er, why are you so careless, after all, this place is not as good as Weiling, and it is in the wild, in case something else happens because of the wound, you will still suffer." ”

Liu Fang lowered her head, couldn't bear Liu's endless nagging, and muttered in a low voice: "Got it, brother." I didn't mean to break it, so it's not an accident. ”

"Xiaohang, you can help Liu Fang clean this up, so that she won't hurt herself again. Yu Xiaohang nodded, put down the spoon, squatted over, took the pieces aside, and buried them with soil.

Liu Buxiu really couldn't do anything about his sister, so he had to pretend to be stern and shouted: "Okay, stop talking, wrap it up quickly!"

Liu Fang took out a strip of cloth from the package, and was about to wrap it around his hand, when suddenly Qi Qi shouted: "Don't wrap it!"

This startled everyone, and Xiao Yue couldn't help but ask: "Qiqi, what are you doing, startled, weird and scary." ”

Qi Qi didn't reply to Xiao Yue, but the solemnity on her face just now suddenly swept away, her two big eyes flashed with excitement, and she walked to Liu Fang's side nervously, and said with a strange smile: "Sister Fang'er, do you want to discuss something with you?"

Liu Fang watched Qi Qi staring at her broken fingers, feeling as if her saliva was about to flow out, and she instantly felt a chill all over her body, always feeling eerie. Weakly asked, "What's the matter, tell me." ”

"Hehe...... " Qi Qi smiled more and more weirdly, her two hands kept rubbing close to Liu Fang, and then under her frightened gaze, Qi Qi grabbed Liu Fang's bleeding fingers and asked, "Sister Fang, borrow some blood!"
