The world is heavy and late

Chapter 298
From supper to midnight, many people had already gone back to sleep, or lay down anywhere.

Mu Tingnan sat high on the stage, playing the piano for a while, drinking water in silence for a while, and talking to a few people occasionally.

There are also people who are ashamed and don't know what they are thinking, but there are also some very young children who live on the streets because of the drought, and then came in after being infected with the epidemic. Many little girls and some little boys .

At this moment, they are all surrounded by Mu Tingnan, a small circle, two circles of children inside and outside.

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong also stood outside the barricade. The guards had changed, and their clothes were a little wet.

The moisture was heavy and sticky, neither Xia Qing nor Xu Zhong spoke, they were also waiting.

Xia Qing was sleepy, exhausted, and full of soreness. She just saw a person with a high fever rolling on the floor with a headache, but the doctor who hurriedly called could only slightly relieve it, and the doctor also looked pale.

There are too many people, and they are always on the move. The most important thing is that the level of doctors varies, and the really good doctors are actually on the side of Mr. Guo.

Seeing that Xia Qing turned his face slightly at the end, Xu Zhong also lowered his head heavily, and both of them felt heavy in their hearts all night.

One was rubbing the jade gourd on his wrist, and the other was pinching the orchid-patterned sapphire ring on his waist.

He was so distracted that when Xu Zhong heard the sound coming from afar, he was a little stunned. He listened with bated breath, but was disturbed by his restless heartbeat.

He turned to Xia Qing and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Xia Qing, who had lowered his head and started to be in a daze for a long time, was a little dazed by the question. He raised his head and looked at Xu Zhong with wet eyes for a long while before asking, "Is it the sound of a carriage?"

"It seems like someone is calling us!"

Xia Qing's premonitions were always accurate, she and Xu Zhong turned their heads, and came around from the corner of the street, riding their horses and shouting: "Master Xu, the imperial physician is here, the general invites you to go back."

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong were not the only ones who heard it. Before Xia Qing and Xu Zhong could be happy, the people behind them were already rushing to the roadblock, staring eagerly at the soldiers who came to deliver the letter.

There was a lot of discussion, how should I put it, it seemed that a stone was thrown into a pool of stagnant water, no, it should be a huge stone, with a bang, the splash of water would make people shy away, it was too spectacular.

Xu Zhong and Xia Qing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, pursed their lips and smiled, there was no need for them to say more.

Those who were infected were already crying, but it was no longer a sound of despair, but a kind of relief, it was too uncomfortable, such a day.

They even occasionally think that it is better to just declare that they cannot be cured, and wait for death like this, than to wait in hope every day until the last trace of vitality is exhausted.

But, at this moment, they were saved.

Emotions are rushing down like a mountain torrent, like a leaky bucket, no matter how you can stop it, you can only let the water invade the ground unscrupulously.

The so-called redemption is nothing more than that.

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong forgot to glance at the crowd behind them, and without saying a word, they both climbed into the carriage and ordered people to turn around, but this time's departure no longer brought despair, but vitality.

Many children around Mu Tingnan also rushed forward to watch the excitement, some were pulled to the front by some adults, some were swung back by some adults, their small bodies could not withstand the strength of adults, Can only sit on the ground at once.

However, after being in exile for an unknown amount of time, they stopped being angry and crying, and got up, patted their buttocks and continued to rush in.

There are also some shy and timid children who are still surrounded by Mu Tingnan, even getting closer. A little girl timidly stretched out her dirty fingers, and carefully pinched a corner of Mu Tingnan's clothes. Also dare not use force.

Mu Tingnan saw it, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go and have a look? The doctor is here, do you know what it means?"

The little girl nodded timidly and said, "I can survive."

Mu Tingnan smiled until his eyes narrowed. He patted the little girl's messy hair and said, "It will be fine."

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing, she will not get well, even before she got sick, she was begging on the street, in fact, she quite likes the restricted area, at least there are two free bowls of porridge every day.

Adults must still not have enough to eat and can only survive, but their children are enough.

Of course Mu Tingnan knew what the little girl was thinking, but he could only sigh slightly in his heart. This was probably the reason why he pursued the Tao all his life, because the morality in the world did not always exist, so he had to keep seeking.

A total of five imperial physicians came to the imperial hospital, and Xia Qing knew them all, and the remaining seven or eight were probably urgently called imperial physicians from the capital.

If they were allowed to choose by themselves, they didn't know if they would come here, but doctors are craftsmen, and they can't do anything if they are called.

As soon as Xu Zhong and Xia Qing arrived at the governor's mansion, they saw several carriages standing at the door. After entering, they realized that only the doctor had come, and the medicinal materials were still walking behind.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng was in the nearby city of Zhou, and his two carts of medicinal materials could be regarded as a solution to the urgent need for burning coal.

Several people greeted each other, and the leader was the highly respected Physician Peng. Seeing the two masked important figures scrutinized for a long time, he was sure that there was nothing wrong, but he was a little haggard and heaved a sigh of relief.

Bending down, he took out two letters, and he didn't need to shy away from others: "Master Xu, Aunt Xia, this is a letter that Your Majesty and Your Majesty ordered your subordinates to bring to you."

Physician Peng was not surprised at all that Xia Qing and Xu Zhong were together. In fact, no one in the palace was surprised. I knew everything quietly, and some people even thought about making a fuss about it, but it was useless at all, and no one even prohibited them from making small moves underneath, and it became meaningless after a long time.

These imperial physicians often deal with each other in the palace. Today this one is kind of gracious, and tomorrow that one is kind of humane. They are already familiar with these things and cannot be more familiar with them.

The people from the capital were not very surprised, but Shen Changfeng was very surprised. He was very surprised when he saw the adult bowing to the two of them. What's more, when the person called aunt, Xia Qing took the letter and accepted it without changing his face. come over.

Shen Changfeng squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Qing for a while, and finally wanted to understand why he felt that this woman was so different when he saw Xia Qing for the first time. She had an official demeanor, but it was rarely seen in women. Shen Changfeng hadn't seen it either, so he didn't know for a while.

Now that I look at it again, I don't understand everything.

Xia Qing opened the letter and scanned it with three eyes and two words. Most of it was Gu Weiyun's plan for Gu's family to participate in this matter, and some were just words to Xia Qing.

Gu Weiyun is actually not at ease in the palace now. She was shocked when she received Xia Qing's letter from Xuzhou. As the mother of the country, she was very worried about Xuzhou. However, as a friend, she really wanted to use her privileges to take Xia Qing away.

In the end, I was anxious for a while, and it was Qiao Huan who reminded me: "Mother, we have to act quickly, the slower the more dangerous."

The three most worried people in Weiyang Palace acted immediately, and the emperor also received Zhu Ba's letter earlier, but he didn't tell Gu Weiyun because he was too busy, and he paid more attention to Xu Zhong, Xia Qing was actually somewhat forgotten.

So Gu Weiyun only knew about Xuzhou's drought and epidemic, and copied several scriptures to pray for Xuzhou. Although he knew from Xia Qing that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, it's no big deal to seek comfort in his heart.

So when Gu Weiyun heard the news, the imperial physician was ready to leave. Fortunately, Gu Weiyun had already discussed with his parents how the Gu family would pay for the disaster relief, so he didn't panic at this time, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Xia Qing , to inform the follow-up arrangements.

After reading it, Xia Qing folded it up and put it in his sleeve, then looked at the thick pages next to Xu Zhong and said, "What did your Majesty write? Why are there so many?"

The others were about to break out in cold sweat. This was not respectful at all. They were all a little bit cold for Xia Qing, but Xu Zhong only glanced at Xia Qing and didn't say anything about her. He had said things worse than this in the past , is it still missing once or twice, besides, he has the ability to protect her at this moment.

After scanning all ten lines at a glance, he said: "There are already sick people in the capital. Your Majesty asks us to resolve this matter as soon as possible to stabilize Xuzhou."

Then he glanced at Shen Changfeng, half a reminder: "Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the outbreak of the epidemic and the incident of people fleeing the city."

Shen Changfeng paused for a moment, then nodded lightly, but he sighed in his heart, it was too troublesome to be the governor, it is better to go directly to the battlefield, let the governor not take the position, he can be his general with peace of mind.

But in any case, the arrival of these doctors has completely improved Xuzhou City, and Xu Zhong can also concentrate on doing more things. There are not only epidemics but also droughts here.
