National color raw owl

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, but felt that his arm had been pulled. The blind man came from the side, pulled Chu Huan to the side, and stood in front of Chu Huan, his pupils showing horror.

"Get out of the way." The white blind man stood in front of Chu Huan, raised his hand, and waved to signal the soldiers around the child to disperse, "Don't get close to him, he...!" The white blind man's lips trembled, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying .

After the guards got out of the way, the child shrank back in horror and looked timidly at the officers and soldiers around him. At this moment, someone behind the child exclaimed: "He...he hit a ghost! ...I was scratched by a ghost, everyone be careful...!" It was a peasant woman who yelled, and she was backing away, with a terrified expression on her face.

Immediately a few refugees came up from behind, holding sticks in their hands, pointing at the child: "Kill him, kill him, he's going to kill someone...!"

Chu Huan seemed to understand something, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Blind Bai, what do you think is going on?"

"My lord, look at his arms and neck." The blind man's voice changed a bit: "It's all traces of being scratched by ghost hands. This child won't last for a few days...!"

"What ghost hand?" Chu Huan frowned, "He's sick...!"

"Whether it's being caught by a ghost or getting sick, people will die." The blind man tremblingly said, "Many people will die...!" Turning to look at Chu Huan, "My lord, let's get out of here as soon as possible, it's not suitable to stay here for long! "

The refugee waved the stick in his hand at the toddler, but he didn't dare to approach him. The toddler was trembling with fear at first, and his eyes showed a dazed look, but seeing the refugees looking at him fiercely, he seemed to be aware of it. Seeing his own danger, he suddenly got up from the ground, spread his legs and ran, an older refugee shouted: "We can't let him go, he will kill many people, beat him to death, burn him!" He...!" This man's words seemed to carry some weight, and many people no longer cared about asking for food from the team, and followed the child, yelling and chasing after him.

Chu Huan saw such a scene, if he didn't care, the child must end in a very miserable end, so he wanted to stop him. Before he gave the order, Du Fugong's voice came from beside him: "Master, you can't save him. He died at the hands of these people. For children, it may not be a relief...!"

Turning his head, Chu Huan saw Du Fugong standing beside him with a solemn expression, and asked with a frown, "Why did Mr. Du say that?"

"The so-called ghost arrest is just the idea of ​​foolish people." Du Fugong sighed softly: "But that child suffered from the plague and became terminally ill. Even if Hua Tuo was reborn, he would not be able to survive. It will fester quickly, the stench will be unbearable, and it will die miserably after suffering great pain... If that is the case, it would be a blessing to die now."

Chu Huan's body trembled, and he lost his voice: "Plague?"

Du Fugong put his hands behind his back, looked up at the somewhat withered sky, and sighed: "After the catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe... The war in the Northwest caused so many people to die, and many corpses could not even be buried at will, but were abandoned in the wilderness and left alone. Rot... my lord, what you, the governor of Xiguan, is probably doing is harder than all the governors in the world."

Chu Huan clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Mr. Du means that it is customary for a large-scale plague to occur?"

"It seems unavoidable." Du Fugong said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, after the Great Battle of Chuanzhong Road, there were too many corpses to deal with, and then there was a plague, which lasted for a long time, and tens of thousands of people died. people……!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Then... how did you control it later?"

"Fortunately, the medicine king's family took action to prevent a greater catastrophe." Du Fu was fair.

"The family of the medicine king?"

"Your Excellency, don't you know the Zhang Family, King of Medicine?" Duke Fu wondered, "That is a famous family that has been passed down since the Han Dynasty. Their ancestor, Zhang Zhongjing, is known as the Sage of Medicine!"

"Ah?" Hearing the name "Zhang Zhongjing", Chu Huan immediately remembered the two famous doctors of the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Chu Huan no longer had any memory, but these two people still remembered, "Zhang Zhongjing has descendants? "

Duke Fu couldn't help laughing, "Your Excellency, you are joking. He not only has descendants, but his descendants were prosperous at one time, but his medical skills were handed down from his long lineage. It has been passed down, and I heard that the family of the Yaowang family has a strict family tradition, hanging pots to help the world, and has a good reputation. Originally, the Zhang family had always lived in Nanyang. Shuzhong, which is the current Chuanzhong Road, fell in love with it, moved his family to Chuanzhong, and settled in Sichuan from then on.”

Chu Huan knew that Du Fugong was knowledgeable and talented, and he knew the situation of the Yaowang family like the palm of his hand. Chu Huan didn't think it was strange. He heard Du Fugong continue: "Later, the Tianshu Kingdom was established in the middle of Shu, and Zhang's family was also in the Tianshu Kingdom. Under the rule of Tianshu, the king of Tianshu respected the family of the king of medicine under his rule very much. He bestowed the title of Zhang Yiyang, the family at that time, as the great medical officer of Tianshu, and gave more rewards, but Zhang Yiyang finally refused the reward. However, he retained his name as a great medical officer, and when a plague broke out in Central Sichuan, it was Zhang Yiyang who led the Xinglin masters in Central Sichuan to stop the spread of the plague...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Sir, are you saying that today's Xiguan is the same as that in Central Sichuan, and that great plague will also occur?"

"Actually, Du has been worried about this happening." Du Fugong said: "Du also often inquires about the situation in the Northwest, but he has not heard of a plague in the Northwest for a long time. The more this is the case, the more worried Du is. Plague is a thing that comes suddenly, spreads rapidly, and has not erupted for a long time. Once it erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the horror of the epidemic is also extraordinary...!"

Chu Huan wondered, "Could it be possible, sir, that there will be a plague in the northwest?"

"Du hopes not, but...the Xiliang people rushed into the customs, and Du never thought that they would properly bury the dead soldiers and people." Du Fu said with a serious expression: "As long as the corpses after the war are not properly disposed of, the plague will be destroyed." It’s bound to happen. My lord, we’ve also seen in the past few days that there are many corpses leaking on the side of the road along the way. Even though the corpses in some places were buried together, they were very sloppy, and even the corpses were not completely buried. My lord, In such a situation, if there is no epidemic, it would be hell."

"Sir, since the Yaowang family has experience in dealing with the epidemic, I will immediately send someone back to the capital, pass the papers up, and implore the imperial court to immediately mobilize the Yaowang family to the northwest to help the northwest overcome this difficulty." Chu Huan knew that once If the epidemic occurs and cannot be effectively controlled, the spread of the plague will be extremely terrifying. I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Northwest will become a hell.

Du Fu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the imperial court won't be able to get rid of the Yao Wang's family!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan frowned, "Why?"

"Because the family of the King of Medicine has disappeared." Du Fugong sighed: "After the Tianshu Kingdom was attacked by the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, the family of the King of Medicine also disappeared with the demise of the Kingdom of Tianshu. Since then, no one has heard about the King of Medicine. The affairs of the family...!"

According to Chu Huan's instructions, the team took some dry food from the car and distributed it to the people blocking the road. At this time, it was already dark, so Xuanyuan Shengcai came to beg Chu Huan to leave immediately for the sake of safety, and not to delay on the road, Chu Huan He ordered everyone to continue on their way, thinking that Su Niang's hand was scratched, got into Su Niang's carriage, and saw that Ru Lian had already found a clean cloth towel and bandaged Su Niang's hands.

Su Niang frowned slightly, and when she saw Chu Huan getting into the car, she relaxed her brows slightly. Chu Huan sat down beside Su Niang and asked softly, "Does your hand still hurt?"

Hearing Chu Huan's soft words, Su Niang felt warm in her heart, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, er...you don't have to worry...!" Thinking of something, she asked, "Where did that child go? Did you scare him just now?" He suddenly opened the car curtain, I... I was startled, so I pushed him down with my hands, but... But he scratched my hand... He fell from the car, did you get hurt? ?”

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he's fine." He sighed in his heart, maybe it was true as Du Fugong said, for that terminally ill child, the sooner he left, the sooner he would be relieved.

Now he is just worried about how he will deal with the plague in Xiguan Road if it really spreads rapidly. Everything in Xiguan is messy. Chu Huan was already a little upset along the way. Another sharp sword was hung on Chu Huan's head, which made Chu Huan a little anxious.

After nightfall, the security of the guards became more stringent. The carriage was in the center, surrounded by cavalry guards, all holding the reins of the horses with one hand and pressing the handle of the knife with the other, ready to deal with any eventuality. Although it was the end of May, but The night wind in the northwest is still a little cold, especially the fine sand rolled up by the wind, which is really painful when it hits the face.

Xuanyuan Shengcai sent several scouts to Qingtang County to report the news in advance, and in the middle of the night, Chu Huan heard Xuanyuan Shengcai's voice from ahead: "My lord, Qingtang County is ahead, it seems that someone is waiting for you at the gate of the city." .”

Chu Huan urged the horse to go forward. When he got to the front of the team, he saw a little fire in the distance. In the fire, he saw an earthen city. It is made of giant wood, and the door opening is not too high. The northwest is not as good as Guannei, and the city walls are tall and strong. In the Kansai area, the general small county towns are much smaller than those in Guannei.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, where is your Excellency?" A voice came, and the light of a little fire has moved quickly to this side, "Your Majesty Zhou Renkang, the magistrate of Qingtang County, did not know that your Excellency was coming, so please welcome me from a distance. Forgive me, my lord!"

Behind the magistrate of Zhou, there was a large group of people, that is, the county magistrate, the master, the Liufang Jingcheng, the school officials and other county officials. When they got close, they all knelt down on the ground.

"Get up, I'm the one who disturbed you." Chu Huan took the reins of the horse, sat on the horse, and raised his hand to make the officials stand up.

"Don't bother, don't bother, the governor is here, and it's full of splendor." County magistrate Zhou hurriedly said: "Received the notice from the superior, the subordinate has vacated the humble house and sent someone to clean it, and please the governor and his wife Stay in a humble house!"
