Lei Yingchun stared dumbfounded at Ye Zhen who opened the city gate alone, and Mo Rongzhan walked in as if nothing had happened, as if he was accustomed to Ye Zhen's ability.
"Come in." Ye Zhen glanced at Zhao Tianji and urged him to enter the city quickly.
"I... I brought a few people with me, and they volunteered to help out in the city." Zhao Tianji swallowed, looked at Ye Zhen with eyes full of respect, behind him was an ox cart with four or five people sitting on it, Looks like just ordinary people.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly, and asked Zhao Tianji in a low voice, "Who is it?"
Zhao Tianji said, "That's Aunt Feng. Her son and grandson are inside, and she wants to go to the city to take care of them. There is also a doctor I brought from Wangdu City. I heard that you are going to the city for treatment, and I want to help you." .”
Not everyone is afraid of the epidemic, and some people can't bear to see the massacre.
"Do any of you suffer from cold and fever?" Ye Zhen nodded slightly, then asked the people on the bullock cart.
The people on the bullock cart shook their heads slightly, and looked at Ye Zhen nervously.
Ye Zhen felt the pulse of each of them and made sure they were healthy before letting them go into the city together.
"Miss, let me go in and help you too." Lei Yingchun came back to his senses and hurried over.
"No need." Ye Zhen said lightly, "There are enough people."
Lei Yingchun stood stiffly outside the city gate, watching helplessly as they closed the city gate.
Looking at the re-closed city gate, the soldiers outside were all stunned.
"Lord Lei, shall we...do we still want to set fire?" the deputy general walked to Lei Yingchun and asked in a low voice.
"What kind of fire are you setting? Didn't you see Concubine Tian go in?" If the fire was set down, Shui Yichen would definitely want them all to be buried with him.
The lieutenant asked, "What should I do then?"
Lei Yingchun said, "Immediately hurry up and tell the emperor about this matter."
After Ye Zhen and the others entered the city, they realized that the entire Luomei City seemed to be an empty city. The morning sun was bright and brilliant, but it seemed that it couldn't take away the haze here. Walking slowly along the street, I saw that the sick people were hiding at home, and some of them were dead, and they were carried out and piled up in the corner of the alley.
The people hiding in the house heard the sound, quietly opened a door, and looked at Ye Zhen and the others with eyes full of fear and panic.
At the end of the street, there were several corpses lying across. The youngest child seemed to be only two or three years old.
"Find a place to put the medicine down first." Ye Zhen couldn't bear to see these scenes, and whispered to Zhao Tianji.
"I remember there is a general's mansion in Luomei City, why don't we go to the general's mansion first." Zhao Tianji said, a man like him felt sad seeing these scenes.
Ye Zhen nodded slightly. They found the General's Mansion first, but there was no one there. After they settled down, Ye Zhen cooked medicine for all of them to prevent them from being infected.
"Remember to cover your mouth and nose, pay attention to washing your hands, and scald your clothes with boiling water..." Ye Zhen told Zhao Tianji and the others, "Don't be careless. Also, drink a bowl of medicine every day to prevent infection. gone."
"Okay." Zhao Tianji nodded.
Aunt Feng, who seemed to be in her thirties, looked at Ye Zhen timidly, "Then can I go to my son and grandson?"
Ye Zhen said, "Don't walk blindly in the city, let's burn the... dead people outside first."
"Burn?" Aunt Feng exclaimed.
"If you don't do this, the epidemic will only get worse." Ye Zhen said.
They don't have many people, but time is tight, so they can only use the fastest method.
"I'll go with you." Mo Rongzhan said lightly to Zhao Tianji, "The others stay and help."
"Ah Zhan, can you do it?" Ye Zhen was worried that his injury was still not healed.
Murong Zhan said in a low voice, "It's a trivial matter."
Zhao Tianji glanced at Mo Rongzhan, thinking that although this person is no longer the emperor, the aura of the superior is still fierce. If he is with him, no one will dare to object.
"Then you go with me for treatment." Ye Zhen said to Aunt Feng and the others.
Aunt Feng hesitated to speak, Zhao Tianji said, "You let you in because you said you needed help. If you find your son and the others, you will definitely let you take care of them."
"Thank you." Aunt Feng said in a low voice.
"Concubine Tian, with so many people, can we really cure them?" It was a young doctor who spoke. His ambition came to Luomei City and he had nowhere to use it. None, when he learned that Concubine Tian was coming in for treatment, he followed without saying a word.
However, after entering the city, I realized that this place is no longer called Luomei City, but hell.
"We will do our best." Ye Zhen said.
Zhao Tianji and Mo Rongzhan nodded slightly, and they walked towards the gate one after the other.
"Let's also prepare. I have seen the medicinal materials, and they are quite complete." Ye Zhen said.
"Yaoyao..." Zhao Tianji stood by the gate, turned his head and called Ye Zhen with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously, and walked over.
Outside the gate of the general’s mansion, there were dozens of civilians standing there at some point. Each of them had pale faces and fear in their eyes. When they saw them open the door, they began to kowtow, “I beg you, give us a way out, don’t kill us …”
"Give us a way out."
"Don't kill us."
"..."
Ye Zhen looked at them in surprise, "What's going on?"
"These are the people in the city, don't you think we are here to kill them?" Zhao Tianji whispered.
"They don't seem to be seriously ill." Ye Zhen said, walked to the middle-aged man who was kneeling at the front, and said to him, "You go and get up first, we are not here to kill, but to treat your illness."
"Liar! We already know that the emperor ordered to massacre the city..." a woman cried.
Zhao Tianji said, "We are not lying. This is Tianfei. Do you know who Tianfei is? Her medical skills are the most powerful. She will definitely cure you and will not kill you."
"Tianfei?" Those people were stunned for a moment, "Isn't Tianfei dead?"
"No, Concubine Tian is here, she is here to save you." Zhao Tianji said.
"Concubine Tian, help me, Concubine Tian, help me..." Those people immediately kowtowed to Ye Zhen when they heard what Zhao Tianji said.
Ye Zhen said in a deep voice, "You all get up first, if you want to cure your illness, you have to listen to my orders, now you all go to the Yamen, I will go there to see a doctor and deliver medicine for you, which one of you If there are dead people, they must be carried out, otherwise the plague will never disappear."
"We listen to the concubine Tian."
"Yes... we listen to you."
For the people of Luomei City today, cremation is certainly unprecedented, but the living are more important.
Survival is a human instinct, and they all want to live.
