Female General’s Code, Fight for His Majesty

Chapter 24: plague

Views:

The smoke brought about by the plague swept over like the haze.

After discussing the countermeasures, Miao Zhe has rushed to the border area of Chu State. Through Bai Yang's recommendation, he had an additional disciple named Shen Jianfeng who accompanied him.

As for why Shen went there, the purpose was actually very simple. Xiaoluzi suddenly disappeared from the Zidu City. He knew that Xiaoluzi was a girl who loved to join in the fun. If there was a plague, she would have to set foot in the plague land. She was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If she is here, then they will survive together. If she is not here, then he cannot die. No matter what, he will not forget and he will take her home.

The first impression of Shen on Miao Zhe is that he doesn't talk much, doesn't do much, does things neatly, and has a strong desire for results, but he can't see through it. Different from the firm pursuit and belief in his heart, he is more like saving people rather than serving politics.

Considering that it was inconvenient for foreign ministers to enter Qin, Miaozhe arranged for Shen Jianfeng to take a few people to enter Qin first, and he would make plans later. Accompanying Shen were Nuo Yi, Qian Fu, Xu Xu and Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai is also a good friend of Miao Zhe. Although he is not as good as the world-famous miracle doctor like Tiancan, he is also extremely precise in using needles and medicine.

And Nuo Yi was a charlatan who was brought out of prison by Miao Zhe. His medical skills were good and not bad. He often cured people to death and often brought critically ill people back to life. This was because he was good at folk remedies. According to him, he could only be impartial. Drugged.

As for Qianfu, although she was recommended by Bai Yang, Shen only felt that the woman seemed a bit out of place in their team. Her innate temperament always made people feel that it was difficult to get close to her. She didn't have any medical skills. , but she told them that her men were allowed to save dying cows and terminally ill people.

Although she was a woman, her superior aura prevented Miao Zhe from finding any reason to reject her and not allow her to join their team.

The five people traveling together came to a village called Biquan. The once clear spring has been polluted, and the once crystal clear blue has now become turbid.

After they rode through Biquan Village, they stopped at Fangyao City, five miles away. I heard that Fang Yao City was the place where the plague originated.

The army had left with the money. The only people left on the street were barefoot people walking on foot.

From the elderly who can barely walk to the infants, they are now homeless.

Their parents and officials had abandoned them, leaving a few surviving soldiers who were unwilling to leave their families and leave alone, and now they have become brothers in trouble.

On the street, an old woman with rashes on her face was lying on a stretcher. Her eyes were slightly drooped, but she still tried hard to open them. She struggled to say, "Son, you go, the only thing left here is It's a dead end. Mom won't blame you."

She had been persuading him for a long time, and the pain in recent days had made her unable to sit up.

Death seemed to be slowly approaching her, waving to her, and she was no longer afraid. What she fears is that her son will suffer the same fate as herself.

However, his son shook his head and said: "Mom, how can I bear to leave you? I am not afraid of death. Besides, I am also sick."

Walk or escape, no matter where you go, no matter where you escape, it's just death.

"Son, you have gone out. You may still be alive after you have gone out. When I went to pray for you, the master said that you have a good life. Just go away, go away."

In her eyes, at least he is not as seriously ill as she is. At least he is alive. Isn't there a glimmer of hope

She thought about his hope, but never thought about whether she still had hope. This is maternal love, so loving that you forget whether you are still alive.

His son still refused to obey and said: "There are three unfilial piety, not having an offspring is the most serious. I am already the most unfilial. How can I abandon you when my mother is critically ill, and then harm other people?"

But the old man still persisted and said: "You go..."

The old man suddenly couldn't hold back his tears anymore. Between the tears, what people see is the most tender scene in the world.

His son leaned down and hugged his mother. Mother and son hugged each other and cried. Could it be that this plague can only bring them death

"you..."

The old man looked at the sky. The sky was so bright for the first time. It seemed that she saw hope at the last moment, but it might be endless despair. But she no longer had the strength to say the word "go", so she could only close her eyes in pain.

Death may be the end, but it is also the beginning. As a mother, when she is dying, she still hopes that her children can survive strong.

In troubled times, how many people are still like ants surviving. Then we should no longer care about the gains and losses of grievances. Looking at the whole life, it is nothing more than vicissitudes of life and displacement.

If you are well, it will be sunny.

All kinds of tenderness are being played out in the entire Fang Yao City. When you argue with your neighbors, when you quarrel with your friends, when you and your competitors are cheating on each other, you never thought that he would be so tender. A scene facing you.

God has the kindness to live well, and everyone has compassion. The deeper you hide yourself, the more you can shine in the face of real suffering and disaster.

It turns out that is the real you, the kind and gentle you.

Everyone who saw this scene felt heartbroken. Although the faces of the five people were covered with veils, it was not difficult to see the sadness between their brows. Their hearts were full of distress for the old woman, and they watched her leave. Nothing can be done.

———

Shen Jianfeng said with great regret: "We came too late."

What can be seen in Shen Jianfeng's eyes is more heartache.

His heart ached for the mother and child in front of him, and for everyone in misery.

But what was even more heartbreaking to him was the strong hope in Xiaolu’s eyes when he saw her again that day.

She always wanted to love desperately, but she was let go by herself desperately

Xu Xu couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to go forward to diagnose and treat them. He only heard him say: "Master Fu, let me go forward and take a look first."

Only then did Shen Jianfeng come to his senses.

But when Xu Li was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Qian Fu.

Qianfu stretched out her right hand, and the ruby on her right hand was particularly dazzling, "Slow down."

Qianfu, who was frowning, exuded a strong intimidation in his sharp eyes, and Xu did not dare to step forward.

Qianfu said coldly: "It's not what you should do now."

What is the origin of this woman? As a guest of Bai Yang's family, he came to Chu State and then to such a dangerous place as Qin State. Could it be that he risked death just to cure the plague? What is her purpose. Shen Jianfeng couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, but when he thought about it, why did he have to come here? I'm afraid I can't tell clearly.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Fu continued: "It is said that there are strange poisons in the border areas. There are types of strange poisons, and conversely, some can detoxify hundreds of poisons. Could they be caused by poisons?"

Zhang Dai quickly rejected Qian Fu's opinion and said: "The poison will not spread so quickly."

"This type is not similar to ordinary plagues. I have read many books, and this is the first time I have seen such a phenomenon." Zhang Dai also saw many sick people along the way. Too many people were lying on the roadside groaning. He showed a very painful look on his face. Although ordinary plague patients feel uncomfortable, the symptoms are more like colds and fevers, and the symptoms are not so painful.

Nuo nodded and asked: "Well, look at the rashes all over their bodies. The patients are all sallow and thin, but their nails are black. Is it related to what they eat?"

Xuancheng also thought about it carefully and replied: "Do you still remember that the blue spring water when we came here was actually polluted. According to legend, it used to be a beautiful place. Could it be related to the water source?"

Shen Jianfeng suddenly remembered that he had heard someone mention the name of this place. It was once a prosperous place for foreign trade, but now it has become a city where no one dares to come.

"Water source? Whether people affect water or water affects people is unknown now." Shen Jianfeng concluded.

Zhang Dai flipped over the medical book in his hand and said, "What Jianfeng said makes sense. Now that we are here, whether we will be infected or not, even though I have been practicing medicine for half my life, I still have no idea."

Zhang Dai is an old doctor and has naturally seen and heard more than these young people, but he still has never heard of this situation.

"If we find a way to rescue us, we can naturally get out alive. So now we need to figure out the origin of the plague and what the inextricable connection is with the blue spring water. The second thing is to figure it out. The route of transmission is through the air, skin contact, or other ways. The third is how to save lives."

Shen Jianfeng thought that now he could only find out the root cause in order to treat the disease and save lives.

After listening to Shen Jianfeng's suggestion, Qian Fu said in a commanding tone: "Then we will divide our troops into three groups. Shen Jianfeng and I will be responsible for the investigation. I allow you to gather the people first, study their symptoms first, and then look at the medicine shop. What other herbal medicines are there? Organize the people who can still move first, distribute food and medicine to everyone, and clean the wounds. As for Master Nuo Yi and Master Dai, you two will diagnose and treat everyone first."

"good."

All four people agreed with what Qian Fu said.

Although Qianfu is a strong person, her mind is also very delicate and her mind is very clear.

———

Xu Xu went to work on organizing the masses, while Nuo Yi and Zhang Dai selected patients of different levels and ages to observe the abnormalities in them. And Shen and Qianfu hurriedly left the city and rushed to Biquan Village.

"Let's follow the water source and go upstream to have a look." Qianfu told Shen Jianfeng to go upstream and have a look, and Shen Jianfeng agreed. "good."

Surrounded by green mountains, the upper reaches of the water seemed to be even worse than the conditions below, as if it had been tampered with by someone with ulterior motives. When he saw the lake for the first time today, Shen Jianfeng had a vague feeling in his heart. Biquan Biquan, as the name suggests, should be a green spring, and Biquan should describe the clear and bright water, but it is so turbid now.

"You have also seen that there is something fishy about this lake. Do you suspect that someone is deliberately doing something here?" Qianfu asked.

"Yes. The upper reaches are polluted. It's hard not to suspect that someone did it deliberately." Shen replied.

"Then who do you think has such great hatred for this place and such great ability to kill so many people." Qian Fu asked him deliberately, wanting to test the man next to her.

Shen Jianfeng replied: "I'm really not sure about this. I just feel sorry for the people. I feel that this matter is not only related to the water source, but there may be other ways."

This answer was considered to be honest and based on what she had seen and heard, so Qianfu burst into laughter. Just as she had begun to feel, although this man was extremely wise and far-sighted, he was by no means a sneaky person.

Qian Fu suddenly laughed and said: "Ha, I heard that Qin Le is tyrannical. To the west of this border, the people are in dire straits and the population is almost gone. Now that the plague has broken out again, this Qin is not destroyed. , are all abnormal.”

"Why did Miss Qianfu see you like this?"

Only then did Shen Jianfeng realize that there was indeed something strange about the woman in front of him.

In his eyes, he thought that most women were as gentle and caring as his brother-in-law Yin Zixu. If they were a gentle woman at home, they would be loved and pampered by their husbands, and they would be loved by all kinds of people throughout their lives.

If Yin Zixu is incomparably beautiful, then the woman in front of her is astonishing to heaven. It is hard not to imagine that she came from heaven and flowed into the world.

There are two important women in his life, one is the princess he is getting married, and the other is Liu Silu.

Who is more important? He never dares to think about this question because he is afraid. Just like that night, he was cowardly when faced with Xiaoluzi's questioning.

Even though he was once extremely handsome, he was still so cowardly.

"Huh, the fall of one regime is just the rise of another." A hint of smile and disdain appeared on the corner of Qian Fu's mouth. "What is there to fear about such a plague?"

Shen Jianfeng thought Qianfu's words made sense, so he nodded silently.

After a while, he said: "There are many strange people and strange things in the world, but Qin Le's inaction has made these people suffer. I always feel that there is a dark force in the Qin Kingdom that is amplifying this matter. change."

Qianfu replied: "But this power is too mysterious. If we don't come, we won't even have a chance to catch the shadow of the evildoer. When we come, we will naturally catch the shadow of the evildoer."

This time Qianfu also agreed with his statement. According to her, they could catch the monster.

Shen asked: "I have heard that the Tongtian Sect in Qin State does all kinds of evil. Do you think it is them?"

Qian Fu asked back: "Do you think it's true? The whole world knows that the Tongtian Sect is bad, so why would they do such a thing here again? If it was them, they would definitely tell the whole world about it."

Qian Fu did not change her usual strong speaking style, but her words were convincing and convincing.

In front of Qian Fu, Shen Jianfeng seemed foolish. He secretly teased himself that this girl was even more powerful than he thought.

It seems that he can only become a weak thug next to her. It seems that he can get twice the result with half the effort by obeying her arrangements like Xu Li did.

Shen Jianfeng and Qian Fu continued to examine everything around the spring, each with their own conclusions in their minds. After eating some dry food, they were ready to get back to the city to help treat the epidemic.

———

This epidemic is strange. I don’t know what method Xu used. In just half a day, Fang Yao City was no longer as chaotic as when he arrived, and order gradually began to appear.

When Noi Yi saw this earth-shaking change, he was also shocked, and then he gave Xu Xu a thumbs up in admiration. In Noi Yi's words, "Head, head, must be the head."

Zhang Dai wrote it down with pen and paper, and planned to classify the people with the same symptoms and different symptoms in detail in the evening.

The refugees began to cook together, and those who were in mild condition began to take action to help those who were in serious condition. Those who could write also began to help greet the patients in serious condition, asking their names, ages, symptoms, and They have been in contact.

When there are no soldiers, everything is a soldier. When there are not enough doctors, can every wounded patient become a doctor? Because they remember the gong sound of permission, and they remember him telling themselves that they can live.

Although they are struggling in pain, they want to tell everyone every second that they actually want to live, but actually don't want to die.

As long as you are alive, you can still do what you can.

People who believe in miracles can always create miracles.
