Qing Yi didn't know that there was already a cure for this erythema disease, so he thought he would die for sure.
But when she saw Mu Yang, who had already suffered from erythema, standing in front of her alive, she realized that she still had hope of life.
Wen Yantong didn't expect her bones to be so weak, she just let Mu Yang show her face, and she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
A little surprised, "Miss Qingyi, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say that there is no cure for this disease? Why did you turn around and beg us?"
Qing Yi was confused, knowing that Wen Yantong was venting his anger, so he didn't dare to say anything, just kept begging for mercy, "I was too stupid before, you adults have a lot, don't bother with me, Besides, my parents are innocent, you don't need to save me, you must save them!"
Wen Yantong looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were full of indifference, "If you want your parents to live, you should honestly tell everything you know. What is the source of this erythema!?"
Qingyi cried out, "It's not my fault! When the man gave me the things, he said that the disease would not be contagious. I didn't know it would happen. If I knew, I wouldn't..."
"Who gave you something!" Wen Yantong interrupted sharply.
"Yes, it's a man. I don't know who he is. He gave me a red pill and said that if you throw it into the well water, people who drink the water will be infected with erythema, which is incurable." Qing Yi panicked, "But this disease is neither painful nor itchy. Apart from red spots on the skin, there will be no symptoms."
"So you ordered someone to throw the pills into the well of our house." Wen Yantong said, "I never thought you would be so vicious."
Qingyi climbed a few steps forward, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I don't beg you to save me, I beg you to save my parents, and other people in my house, these people are all innocent !"
Wen Yantong wanted to slap her on the face, but he endured it, and finally did not do anything, but said, "The people in Yibei City are not innocent? We came from Chaoge all the way, just to protect Yibei An Ning's soldiers are not innocent? Your parents are also to blame for giving birth to a stupid and vicious child like you!"
Qing Yi cried and kowtowed in apology.
Wen Yantong said with a cold heart, "You and your relatives will have to pay for your actions. We will not give you a medicine to clean up your family. You are lucky if you can survive, and you deserve it if you don't survive!"
After she finished speaking, she left in a flick of her sleeves, her molars rattling in anger.
Qing Yi yelled even more desperately, begging loudly while hugging the iron gate, his voice echoed for a long time in the dark and damp prison, and finally became extremely miserable.
Wen Yantong was striding, and when passing by Chi Jingxi, Chi Jingxi grabbed her wrist.
She stopped in her tracks, her face still angry, and she didn't want to speak for a while.
Chi Jingxi didn't say anything, but patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and the three of them walked out of the cell without a word.
Mu Yang was the first to break the tranquility, "We all drank the well water from what she threw into the well, why am I the only one who got sick?"
Wen Yantong's anger gradually subsided, although he didn't speak, he couldn't help thinking about this question.
Perhaps Mu Yang's physical characteristics are different from others, most likely because of acclimatization. The soldiers who came to Yibei were all people who often went to various places and had undergone intensive training, so Mu Yang was the only one who was not acclimatized at the time. It may be because of this that the erythema disease seed cast by Qingyi broke out on him.
As Qing Yi said, the disease is not contagious, and there are no other symptoms except red spots all over the body, which is in line with Mu Yang's disease.
However, those who coughed up blood and had high fever after getting sick were probably because erythema mutated in the human body, becoming contagious and obvious symptoms.
This means that the disease on Mu Yang is not contagious, but there are other people in the city who are sick, and the erythema has mutated in those people.
The source of the disease was not the well in their house, but from another source.
Chi Jingxi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to Mu Yang, "Yanger, you and Wen Yantong go home first, now that the erythema disease in the city has not been cured, it is better for you to go out less and stay at home is the safest."
Wen Yantong agreed that the ancient protective measures were not as good as modern ones, but Chi Jingxi has done it to the extreme. Every day, people go door to door to check the physical symptoms of the people. Once there are signs of illness, they will be taken away for isolation. Drug treatment.
After hearing this, Mu Yang naturally didn't dare to make a fuss, and took Wen Yantong home honestly.
On their way back, Mu Yang suddenly said, "When Qingyi introduced the disease, I'm afraid he didn't expect his relatives to also contract the disease."
Wen Yantong became angry when he thought of her, and snorted, "I should have let you beat her to death when I was in Chaoge, lest she come out and harm the world."
Mu Yang looked at her angry face and asked, "Are you really not going to distribute medicine to her family?"
When Mu Yang asked this question, he didn't want to persuade him, but he just felt that Wen Yantong was not that kind of heartless person.
Sure enough, Wen Yantong sighed softly, "How can I not give it, even if I get angry and say no, the young master will give them the medicine."
Mu Yang couldn't help but curl his lips, but he still held back his smile, "Didn't you say they deserved it?"
Wen Yantong said, "Whether Qing Yi lives or dies is her own fault, but her parents and relatives are indeed innocent, and their upbringing will also be punished."
Mu Yang nodded in agreement.
Qing Yi's life is mortal, even if it is an explanation to all the sick people in Yibei City, and her parents lost this arrogant daughter, it can be regarded as the punishment of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man.
Wen Yantong was too angry with Qing Yi, so even if he had planned in his heart, he still had to say ruthless words before leaving, making Qing Yi tortured repeatedly in infinite pain.
This is what she deserves.
Chi Jingxi stayed in the prison to deal with the follow-up matters, and Wen Yantong and Mu Yang went back to the house together.
Fu Zixian and Chi Jingxi got busy again, and they often didn't see anyone for several days, and it was Wen Yantong and Mu Yang who passed the time for each other.
During the free time, Wen Yantong taught Mu Yang how to play backgammon, and ordered someone to make special playing cards. Made of thin wood chips, it is as tough as playing cards when pinched. On the cards are simple strokes such as Wen Yantong's own handwriting of the Kodak Duck.
Wen Yantong named it: Wen's Wooden Plaque.
It took a lot of effort to teach Yang Doudizhu.
The main reason is that Mu Yang doesn't want to be a farmer. He thinks that farmers are too cheap, and he wants to fight for landlords. In order to teach him the rules of the game, Wen Yantong even wrote down the rules by hand, pulling Mu Yang's back every day.
During the days when they couldn't go out, Wen Yantong and Mu Yang could only rely on this to pass the time.
Chi Jingxi ordered the people in the whole city not to drink the well water dug in their own homes. In order to prevent people from secretly drinking, they also sent people to every house to seal the well. There is a river around Yibei City, and the people in the city mainly eat the water from that river. The doctors lived by the river and studied what was sprinkled in the river every day.
However, the people of Yibei City can only go to the distant river to carry water for food.
There is more than one river in Yibei City. Because the enemy army is also stationed in the north of Yi, they must also drink water, so there must be river water that is clean and harmless.
When the order was just issued, there were mourning and complaints in the city, and the voices of the people's resistance were a bit loud, but this was a special period. Chi Jingxi was tough and severely punished many people who secretly opened wells to drink water. The common people can't compete with officials, so they can only honestly carry water from a distance.
The autumn wind brings coolness, and the scorching heat disappears. Fast forward to October.
Under Chi Jingxi's strict control, erythema gradually disappeared from Yibei City. The medicinal materials transported from various places also arrived in Yibei smoothly, saving many people. This epidemic that was supposed to spread in Chang'an City and turn the prosperous Chang'an into a dead city was wiped out before it started vigorously.
Later, the doctor tested again and again, and after confirming that there was no disease remaining in the river, the sealed wells of every household were pried open again by the soldiers, and life returned to normal.
The autumn in Yibei is golden, and the weather is much cooler.
Wen Yantong also changed into thick clothes, and sometimes when wandering outside at night, she even had to wear a quilted waistcoat.
She silently counted the days. Before winter comes, those enemy troops stationed in Yibei will definitely move.
Because they couldn't bear the severe cold and snowstorm in Yibei, so on the eve of the coming of winter, they either attacked the city in one fell swoop and occupied Yibei, or they evacuated Shaojing.
Of course the greater possibility is the former.
Chi Jingxi discussed this matter with Wen Yantong, and also approved of the strategy Wen Yantong said earlier, so he held meetings more frequently to formulate strategies for the upcoming offensive.
Wen Yantong actually didn't know much about that, he just stared at the sky every day, muttering to himself, "When will that heavy rain come..."
The time seems to be getting closer and closer, Wen Yantong's thoughts of playing around are gone, and he is either reading or writing all day long.
But Mu Yang is obsessed with Dou Dizhu, and pesters her to play with her all day long. Wen Yantong is not in the mood, and Mu Yang also likes to play tricks, so he refuses over and over again.
It just so happened that Fu Zixian was free these days. Because he was very busy some time ago, he fell ill and lay in bed for two days. Chi Jingxi specially granted him a few days off.
Seeing that Fu Zixian was free, Mu Yang immediately turned his target to Fu Zixian who was still lying on the hospital bed.
Mu Yang sat on his bedside and chatted for a while, and finally said, "You should be fine tonight, right?"
Fu Zixian said, "It should be free."
"Then let's fight the landlord together?" Mu Yang said enthusiastically, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Now that you're free, you should be able to accompany me."
Fu Zixian was puzzled, "Fighting the Landlord?"
Mu Yang nodded, looking at him expectantly.
Fu Zixian paused, then nodded in agreement.
When Ye Muyang came to look for him holding the wooden sign, he saw Fu Zixian fully dressed, holding a long sword in his hand, followed by a few scattered guards.
Mu Yang was shocked when he saw it, "Do you have something to go out?"
Fu Zixian said confusedly, "... Didn't you say that you want to fight the landlord?"
Mu Yang looked at a pair of wooden signs in his hand: "I..."
Chi Jingxi found out about this the next day, and cut the fifty-two wooden cards in half that day. The pit was buried, and a palm-sized stele was erected.
Letter: Mu Xingyi's favorite pet: Wen's wooden plaque.
Wen Yantong passed by and saw it, and kicked over the stele, kicking the small mound of dirt to pieces.
The author has something to say: [Chi Jingxi's Little Diary]
Eighth day of October:
Why has she never mentioned Fighting the Landlord to me
Oh, don't even think about playing!
