Chapter 53: A Chance Encounter
The words were divided into two ends, and since Ye Shuying was separated from Shen Yuhong, she asked everywhere to find her traces. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info remembered that she said that she wanted to go back to Huaxi Valley, so she bought a horse, rode a horse and went south, the official road, I don't know how much I walked, I inquired hundreds of times along the road, but I never got any news of Shen Yuhong's whereabouts. It's really a sea of people, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Three days later, Ye Shuying suddenly remembered that Shen Yuhong had grown up in Huaxi Valley since she was a child, and this time she came out of Huaxi Valley with her feet and walked to Hucheng, and then went to Nanjing to take a carriage, this girl probably didn't know how to ride a horse at all, so even if she returned to Huaxi Valley, she could only walk or take a car, and the trip would never be faster than riding a horse.
Ye Shuying thought of this, so he turned the horse's head again, turned back to the north, and looked for it along the road. On the way, I don't know how many lone carriages I stopped, and how many misunderstandings and abuses I suffered, but I didn't see any trace of Shen Yuhong.
Slowing down like this, and inquiring more carefully for three or four days, Ye Shuying traveled until noon, settled in an inn in Fengyun City, had lunch, rested for a while, and then went out of the city from the west gate of the county seat.
When I arrived at the west city gate, I saw chaos in the city gate, with more than 100 people gathered around and more than a dozen officials shouting.
Ye Shuying rode a horse, condescending, and saw more than a hundred people surrounding more than forty ragged people, pointing and discussing, and a few people even smashed cabbage leaves and eggs on those in the middle. The dozen or so officials were eyeing the forty or so people in the middle, and their swords were swung at them to prevent them from moving any further.
The leading official shouted: "Uncle advises you for the last time, get out of Fengyun City quickly, otherwise the sword in the hands of the uncle and the brothers will be unkind......" As he spoke, he took a step forward with his left foot, waved the saber a few times, and hurriedly retreated, as if he was a little afraid of those who were surrounded in the middle.
The onlookers also cheered: "Get out of here...... Let's go...... Get out of Fengyun and don't bother us ......"
The leading official looked under the city gate and shouted, "Hey, the people over there, are they blind or have their brains flooded?
The people under the city gate gave way one after another.
Ye Shuying looked at this situation and knew in her heart that the more than forty people who were surrounded in the middle must be refugees who had fled from elsewhere, and wanted to settle in Fengyun, but they were unanimously resisted by the people and the government. In this case, he had seen it when he followed Zhou Yueyang in Feisha Village, and Feisha Village had helped many such refugees.
Ye Shuying turned over and dismounted, wanting to go over and ask why everyone was so strongly rejecting these victims.
At this moment, among the refugees, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old suddenly convulsed, his eyes were confused, and his hands were groping wildly, trying to walk towards the official.
The officials were panicked and shouted, "Little ghost, don't come here...... One step further, Uncle is going to kill someone......"
A woman in her thirties quickly pulled the boy and said, "Child, don't go......"
The boy had barely taken two steps when he suddenly fell to the ground, spat out some yellow water from his mouth, and then remained motionless.
The officials and the onlookers were in a panic again, and they all took four or five steps back. But the scolding was louder.
Seeing this, Ye Shuying stayed on the spot. Do we still need to ask about this obvious matter? These refugees may have fled here from a place where a contagious epidemic has broken out somewhere, and it is no wonder that the officials and people here do not accept them.
Seeing that the woman was holding the child's body and crying bitterly, and the people here regarded them as plague gods, Ye Shuying didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a petite and delicate figure suddenly pushed away the crowd, walked straight to the woman, took the child's hand and tested his pulse.
Ye Shuying saw that the petite and weak woman was not the Shen Yuhong he had been thinking about for a long time, but who was it? He was both surprised and happy, and shouted in a lost voice: "Miss Shen, no!" But it was too late. Shen Yuhong not only tested the child's pulse, but also rolled his eyelids, pinched his jaw to look at his mouth......
At this time, an official picked up a load of liquid and put it next to the leading official, who scooped up a spoonful of liquid with a melon scoop, raised it high, and then poured the liquid back into the barrel from the air, and shouted arrogantly: "Look at it, this is the best tung oil, if you don't leave, grandpa will pour this tung oil on you and burn you to death on the spot!"
One of his subordinates came to the base of his ear and said, "Big brother, what should I do with that girl?
The leading official glanced at Shen Yuhong, with some pity in his eyes, and said, "She has already come into contact with these plague gods, of course they will be dealt with together." After saying that, he shouted to the refugees: "Grandpa, count three times, if you are still here and refuse to leave the city, grandpa will pour this tung oil on you." One!"
Shen Yuhong was indifferent, he didn't seem to hear it, and his mind was all on the child.
Ye Shuying looked at Shen Yuhong and was secretly anxious.
The refugees looked at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down. If you can stay in the county seat, maybe you can find one or two kind-hearted Langzhong to see a doctor, if you are kicked out, you will lack food and medicine, and there is only a dead end.
"Two!"
The refugees kowtowed and begged.
The onlookers shouted and cheered, and the momentum grew: "Get out, get out, get out of Fengyun ......"
Ye Shuying held the Yintai Sword tightly. He knew that Shen Yuhong was from Huaxi Valley, and the doctor was benevolent, so it was impossible to leave this group of refugees alone.
"Three!" The official led by the official raised a spoonful of tung oil in his right hand, the corners of his mouth curled, and his face showed an irrepressible impulse.
Ye Shuying saw that there was a stall selling umbrellas next to him, so without thinking, he grabbed a large black umbrella, pushed away the others, and ran to Shen Yuhong's side to quickly open the umbrella and rotate.
With a "whoosh", a spoonful of tung oil was sprinkled on the umbrella, and most of it bounced off the umbrella surface and splashed on the surrounding officials and people.
Ye Shuying turned her head and shouted, "Miss Shen, don't take them away quickly!" and shouted to those refugees: "Everyone, this girl has excellent medical skills, you follow her, she will treat you...... Let's go......"
The refugees got up one after another and rushed towards the city gate with Shen Yuhong. Ye Shuying threw the umbrella, drew his sword out of the sheath, and escorted him behind to prevent the officials from suddenly killing the refugees in a frenzy.
The officials and the onlookers followed them out of the city gate from a distance, and followed them for more than a mile to make sure that they were really gone, and then returned to Fengyun, leaving four officials to guard the intersection to prevent them from returning suddenly.
Ye Shuying saw that the officials didn't chase after him, so he returned to the city to lead the horse, and bought a lot of dry food by the way, so he hurriedly caught up with Shen Yuhong and those refugees.
Shen Yuhong traveled three or four miles southeast with more than 40 refugees, when another man in his forties showed symptoms like that boy, suddenly convulsed all over his body, and his spirit was a little trance, and then he fell to the ground, and some yellow water flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The refugees were a little panicked, and if the epidemic was not controlled, they would probably all die in four or five days, which is why the officials and citizens of Fengyun City would rather force them to die than let them go to the county seat for treatment. They set their sights on Shen Yuhong - could this petite and fragile girl who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old really cure their plague?
Shen Yuhong hurried to the man's side, checked his pulse, and checked his eyelids, mouth, neck, armpits, near his collarbone, etc. The man's condition was more serious than that of the boy, the two-inch pulse was weak, the pulse was weak and astringent, the two-foot pulse was thin and thin, erythema and lumps appeared near the collarbone and under the armpits, and the edema of the feet was over the ankles and spread to the knees, and the edema spread over the knees.
After Shen Yuhong's examination was completed, he hurriedly walked towards Ye Shuying, who was leading the mount behind. Ye Shuying thought that she was looking for him, so she hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen, is there anything you need my help with?"
Ye Shuying was a little dazed now, he knew that this plague was very contagious, once it raged and spread, there would be a tragic situation of "going out and seeing nothing, and the white bones covered the plain", and thousands of people died politely.
He wanted to say something to stop Shen Yuhong, but he was afraid that after she heard it, she would think that he was as cold-blooded and ruthless as those Fengyun people. I don't know when he started, he was a little concerned about Shen Yuhong's attitude and opinion on him.
Shen Yuhong seemed to see that Ye Shuying was reluctant to get close to those refugees, but she needed a helper who could help her a lot without touching those dangerous refugees. Shen Yuhong said with a smile: "Brother Ye, I didn't expect to see you again, thank you for helping these people just now." I know these people are dangerous, but I can't leave them alone. ”
Ye Shuying said: "I know. I've also helped some refugees with the people in Feisha Village before, but it's just ...... This time the refugees were different...... You're likely ......"
Shen Yuhong said: "I understand, I won't let you take risks with me." Brother Ye, can you help me buy some medicinal herbs before you leave?"
Ye Shuying lowered her head with some shame and said, "I'...... I won't leave you until you're safely back in the Moon Villa or Flower Creek Valley, and if there's anything I need to do, just ask. Since you have decided to save these people, I will stay and help you. You are the tall foot of Mr. Lu, the 'Wonderful Enemy Yama', I really don't need to worry. ”
Shen Yuhong blinked his eyes that were as bright as autumn water, and said, "Brother Ye, thank you for trusting me. I need to use some medicinal herbs, and I need you to go back to the county seat for me to buy them. ”
Ye Shuying said: "Okay, you say, what do you need?"
Shen Yuhong said: "Peilan, Huoxiang, Atractylodes, Magnolia, Sophora Sophora...... Each of these medicines costs three catties and is packaged separately. ”
Ye Shuying remembered them one by one, handed over the dry food she had just prepared to Shen Yuhong, turned over her horse, and said, "Wait for me for a moment." Turning the horse's head, he rushed back to the county seat to buy medicine.
