I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 64, No Queen

Time flies, and two days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the past two days, apart from the Taiping Yamen servants and Xia family warriors who came to check repeatedly, Liushu Hutong was also peaceful, and there was no news from my father Fang Baicao.

However, there is no news about fraudulent cities, but the best news is, Fang Rui is not in a hurry.

At noon this day.

Jiang Ping'an came to visit and brought the urgently purchased supplies, such as meat, eggs, oil, etc., and stayed for dinner and drank with Fang Rui.

Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, Nannan, all the women's relatives and children ate in the back room.

Fang Rui and Jiang Pingan sat opposite each other on the stone table under the willow tree in the courtyard outside.

Under the cool shade of the trees, there is a gentle breeze, and the sunlight divided by willow leaves into fragments of gold, mottled, floating, and shimmering.

On the stone table, there is a table of sumptuous meals: a large pot of stewed old hen, egg custard, fried soybeans... and two catties of cooked beef, the clear texture can be seen on it, and the taste is strong and fragrant. It is served with wine Just right.

Gurgling!

Fang Rui picked up the jug and poured Jiang Ping'an a glass of old rice wine. The wine was clear and full-bodied, rippling in the breeze and sunlight.

"In the past two days, I have seen the Xia family's warriors and Yijun yamen repeatedly screen and screen, but they are searching for the remnants of the Lin family?" He asked intentionally.

"It's not."

Jiang Ping picked up the wine bowl, smacked it like a baby, and replied: "The remnants of the Lin family were almost wiped out that night. Only the second bedroom escaped, but they left Changshan City long ago."

"But having said that, the Lin family deserves to be one of the two top families in Changshan City. They are really rich! After copying the Lin family, the rebels were fed a lot, and they directly distributed a sum of money to the people below. In the past two days, business in brothels and restaurants in the city has been booming..."

"Extremely far! As for the real searchers,"

Jiang Pingan looked around, and said in a low voice, "The Xia family united with the rebel army to search for the murderer who shot and killed the three sixth-rank Xia family that night. I heard that the murderer is a fifth-rank master!"

"Fifth Grade?!"

Fang Rui pretended to be surprised: "Have you ever found it?"

"Where can I find it?"

Jiang Pingan waved his hand: "The whole Changshan City was sifted through like a sieve, but not even a single shadow was found. I heard that the old lady of the Xia family was furious about this and killed several servants who were ineffective!"

"Later, the Xia family complained that our rebel army did not work hard, and even suspected that the murderer who killed three sixth-rank warriors from his family was hiding among our rebel army...Brother Fang, don't you think this is ridiculous? ?”

"It's really ridiculous!"

Fang Rui didn't expect that his hidden black hand would intensify the conflict between the Xia family and the Taiping thief family.

In fact, to be honest, it is basically impossible to find him with Changshan City's existing investigation methods.

What follows a scent or something?

Fang Rui was extremely cautious. Every time he took a shot, he would check carefully before returning, and use the dark energy that could be three inches away from the body to 'anti-virus' himself.

Without definite clues, such a large-scale screening would make it even more impossible to find someone.After all, his apparent identity is really impeccable.

The only way is to leave Fang Rui on the spot - despite his strength, only fourth-rank warriors can do it. Now, the entire Changshan City is only two people, the old man of the Xia family and the rebel Zuo Boyang.

Fang Rui would not act foolishly in front of the two of them.

From this point of view, it's no wonder that the Xia family can't find anyone in a haystack, and the old man of the Xia family can only be helpless and furious.

——It’s not because our side is weak, it’s because the enemy is too cunning!

Fang Rui asked calmly, "Brother Jiang, what will happen next?"

"Follow-up? The Xia family and the rebel army are very unhappy. The rebel army doesn't have the patience to waste it. There are so many things to be busy in the city. Yesterday, they ignored the Xia family and let them toss. The Xia family didn't give up. Yesterday was a screening I searched for a day, but still didn't find anything..."

Jiang Ping'an said casually: "If you want me to say, it's good if you can't find it. If you really want to find it, those vicious and vicious people will jump over the wall in a hurry. The first to suffer is us, the yamen servants who stand in front and arrest quickly..."

If he knew that the whole city screened and searched for people sitting opposite him, he didn't know how he would feel.

"Fierce and evil? Not so, not so."

This feeling of 'not knowing people face to face' is very strange, Fang Rui frowned: "I heard rumors that the fierce man who killed the three sixth-rank warriors of the Xia family was a hero..."

"Hey, Brother Fang, you are so naive. How can you be friendly with such a murderous person? Even if he is really a hero, he will not show mercy to someone like us who arrests him!" Jiang Pingan said Shake his head.

After chatting for a few words, the two skipped over this.

Jiang Ping'an suddenly said: "In the past two days, there has been more than one case of rebels who have been infected with lesions, fever, headache, and vomiting. I don't know if they came to the city from the mountains and are not acclimatized..."

He said this as a joke, and didn't pay much attention to it, just passing it by.

"Oh?"

Fang Rui seemed to be a little allergic, his brows furrowed, and he subconsciously asked, "Could it be the plague?"

"No way?!"

Jiang Pingan froze the wine bowl he raised to his mouth, and stared wide-eyed: "Brother Fang, you are joking, how can the plague appear so easily? I grew up, and I only heard about it, but I have never seen it! "

"Besides, so many people died when the city was broken, and it's all right. How is it possible now? Haha!" He smiled dryly, saying it was impossible, but his heart was a little hairy.

"This kind of thing, who can say for sure?!"

Fang Rui shook his head: "Anyway, let's pay attention to ourselves, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

"Too!"

Jiang Ping'an nodded seriously, obviously listening.

……

After dinner, wait for Jiang Pingan to leave.

Fang Rui entered the room and called Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan to explain the matter carefully, and try not to go out these two days.

Fang Xue and the others naturally agreed.

Although they thought the plague Fang Rui mentioned was unlikely, but Fang Rui was the head of the family, so he was used to obeying his advice.

In fact, Fang Rui also thought it was unlikely, the plague, such a small probability event, how could it be so easy to encounter?

but.

Still the same sentence: there is no big mistake in being careful.

Moreover, preparations still need to be done. Fang Rui deliberately contacted the caravan channel that left Changshan City, and told Fang Xueshi and others to pack their things and make sure they can leave at any time.

……

midnight.

Fang Rui was awakened by the bright light outside the window, stood up vigilantly, and looked out the window.

I see:

In the direction of the Lin family, flames shot up into the sky, blurring half of the sky.

"It's a fire?! No, if it's a fire, there should be shouts for firefighters outside."

"That was intentional, but... what is this burning?!"

Fang Rui had a bad premonition in his heart.

Although he was in doubt, he didn't go to check - Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan at home still needed to be taken care of. Besides, what if it was some kind of moth made by the Xia family, specializing in fishing?

"Forget it, in the middle of the night, even if I know what's going on, I can't do many things..."

"Furthermore, if there is any change, Brother Jiang should come over and tell you tomorrow morning. My family will always know about it before most people do."

Fang Rui suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued to sleep.

……

Sure enough, Jiang Ping'an came in a hurry the next morning.

"Brother Fang, something is wrong. I'm afraid a plague really broke out in the city!"

'Oh, I'm a prophecy? ! 'Fang Rui's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could ask a question, Jiang Pingan quickly explained, "Brother Fang, do you still remember the incident of the Lin family's extermination two days ago?"

"The rebels stole a lot of money from the Lin family, but because there are many darkrooms and tunnels in the Lin family, they will not be able to find them all for a while, so some people are left to search there..."

"Last night, two soldiers of the rebel army discovered a dark room, but inside it was not gold or silver treasures, but corpses and rats biting it... vomit!"

Jiang Pingan patted his chest, retched for a while, and then suppressed his nausea, and continued: "As an autopsy, those corpses were originally living people who were tied up. There was no food in the secret room, only live rats. They were killed by rats." Eating it alive... It can be seen that it was not accidental, but intentional by the Lin family!"

"Several places like this dark room were discovered one after another, and it is said that there are traces of doctors participating in it..."

'An alien version of biochemical experimental research? ! '

Fang Rui thought to himself, and asked with a frown, "So, the fire in the direction of the Lin family last night was burning the source of the plague?"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Pingan nodded: "After discovering that kind of dark room, it immediately attracted the attention of the rebel army. The investigation found that the soldiers who were sick in the past two days basically participated in the Lin family's extermination operation that day... He simply ordered the Lin family to be set on fire."

"But it only solved the source of the plague. Those sick soldiers have been out for activities in the past two days. I don't know how many places they have visited and how many people they have infected... What a disaster!"

"This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! The Lin family..."

Fang Rui frowned, and suddenly recalled that night: "No wonder, at the last moment of that night, Lin Xiong's expression was a little bit wrong, it turned out to be like this, and a big thunder was planted." '

'It's just that this method...is too bottomless.Deliberately creating a plague, if you are not careful, the whole city will die! '

'If you can't control Changshan City, destroy it?What a cruel heart! '

Fang Rui was cold in his heart: "I thought that the means of the Rebel Army and the Xia family were too cruel, but now it seems that they are too kind to the Lin family!" '

"That's right! Looking back now, I'm afraid the Lin family was well prepared and determined to destroy Changshan City and fly far away."

Jiang Pingan sighed: "Thanks to the righteous man who killed Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Lang, the leader of the Yelang Gang, intensified the conflict between the Lin family, the Xia family, and the rebel army, and let the latter two attack the Lin family in advance... Otherwise, when the Lin family's arrangement is complete and they leave safely, the epidemic may spread even more violently and be caught off guard!"

"I heard before that after the Lin family was wiped out, there were hundreds of people in the family, only the second room escaped, and I felt sorry for the Lin family... Now it seems that the whole **** deserves it. Why does the Lin family not have any descendants?!"

Jiang Pingan gritted his teeth.

"The instigator has no descendants!" Fang Rui said flatly.

This is not a statement of pure indignation.

The Lin family in Changshan City has already been included in his small book blacklist. If it doesn't work for a hundred years, it will be a thousand years. This sentence must become a fact.

In short, he completely offended a long-lived person, and the Lin family stall in Changshan City was in trouble!
"Let's not talk about the Lin family, what do the rebels say about the current situation in Changshan City? How are they going to deal with it?" Fang Rui asked.

"The soldiers and patients were isolated, and doctors were recruited for discussion... Other than that, I haven't said anything yet."

Jiang Pingan smiled wryly and shook his head: "However, Brother Fang, you don't have to worry too much. Those infected soldiers, ordinary people died a few, but the warriors are all fine, and the warriors who have entered the ranks have stronger resistance, that is, fever, vomiting, and headache. ...I lost some vitality, and basically carried it over."

"As for the seventh-rank and eighth-rank warriors, they just had a slight fever, and nothing happened afterwards."

'This shows that the epidemic is not lethal?I'm not afraid, but Mother, Third Sister, Linger, and Nannan are all ordinary people! '

How could Fang Rui not be worried?
It's no wonder that he has such a killing intent towards the Lin family in Changshan City in his heart!
"Okay, brother Fang, I came here to tell you the news, now I have to go back, maybe there is some order from above..."

"Brother Jiang, wait!"

Fang Rui stopped Jiang Ping'an and went into the house. After a while, he took out a stack of simple masks made of double-layered silk cloth, and some insect repellent sachets: "This is an insect repellent sachet. Needless to say, it is like incense sticks. It’s fine to just hang the pouch on your body.”

"As for this, it's called a 'mask' and it's worn on the face like this..."

He said, and demonstrated: "Many are for sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, it's my heart!"

Of course, Fang Rui knew about the plague. The main routes of transmission were: respiratory transmission, rat flea transmission, and contact transmission.

Contact transmission is relatively the best prevention, mainly the latter two: respiratory transmission, rat flea transmission, and masks and insect repellent sachets can be targeted prevention.

These small gadgets were all made by him after dinner and before going to bed after hearing the news yesterday, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"Brother Fang, we have such a friendship, I won't say more about other words of thanks, let's go! Take care!"

Jiang Ping'an turned around and strode away.

……

Send Jiang Pingan away.

Fang Rui went back to the house, told the news about the plague, and distributed masks and insect repellent sachets to Fang Xue, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannie, asking them to wear them.

Unexpectedly, neither Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, nor Fang Ling and Nannan were in any panic.

The two little girls are just fine, they don't know anything, but Mrs. Fang Xue and the third lady...

'Hey, this is a plague, can you grow some snacks? ! '

Fang Rui complained in his heart, and asked directly: "Mother, third sister, are you in such a good mood?"

"Ah? Brother Rui, why don't you say it? As long as you don't go out, you still have this mask and insect repellent bag for protection. What are you afraid of?" Fang Xue said naturally.

"Yes, Brother Rui!"

The third lady brought him some water to wash his face, and said with a gentle smile: "There is you at home, and you are the only one here. We are all at ease in the face of any situation, and we are not afraid."

In the past, Fang Rui's calm and prudent behavior gave them great confidence, and they gradually developed the habit. As long as he was the backbone, they would have nothing to fear.

"This...you have too much confidence in me."

Fang Rui shook his head and smiled wryly. After thinking about this, he just felt heavy in his heart.

'In addition to the trust in me, there is: Mother, third sister, may have some mental preparations, but they still don't think seriously enough! '

He knows how exaggerated it is for the real plague to spread - like his previous life, such a big country can be exhausted from tossing up and down, not to mention that in this era, the history books "no chicken crows for thousands of miles" ', is really not an adjective!

'Compared with the past, this time, there is no real enemy, and I have all the strength but no use for it... This is a war without gunpowder smoke! '

Frankly speaking, Fang Rui didn't have much confidence himself, so he suggested, "Mother, third sister, why don't we leave Changshan City?"

"As for my father, it has been generally confirmed that he is not in Changshan City. Let's go to other places and inquire slowly. It's the same..."

The third lady was not easy to answer, and looked at Fang Xueshi.

"Alright." Fang Xueshi thought for a while and agreed.

She knew Fang Rui's foresight. Facts have proved Fang Rui's foresight.

Hearing that Mrs. Fang Xue and the third lady agreed, Fang Rui felt relieved: "I just hope that there is still time to leave at this time!" '

……

After breakfast, Fang Rui hurried out.

Not long after.

He returned to Liushu Alley with an ugly face, and left the caravan in Changshan City. Someone was sick and couldn't leave, so he needed to postpone.

It can be said: In this case, even if he could walk, he would not dare to follow the caravan.

As for not following the caravan and leaving on your own?

In such a severe drought year, there are so many refugees and bandits outside, leaving in such a hurry, without caravans to guide the way, and no one else to take care of each other, the consequences...

It's better to stay in Changshan City with Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan.

At least if you stay in the city, you may not get sick. Even if you get sick, with Fang Rui's medical skills and the medicinal materials hoarded in the cellar, there may be no trouble.

Taking a step back, you can also add some medical skills...

Home.

Before entering the door, Fang Rui used his dark energy to 'antivirus' himself. Just now, he entered the door with a worried look on his face, and told him that he couldn't leave.

"Brother Rui, if you can't leave, let's not leave!" The third lady felt Fang Rui's depressed mood, and quietly took his hand to comfort him.

"Yeah, it's okay, our family is together, don't be afraid..."

Fang Xue shook his head, and Fang Rui smiled gently: "Brother Rui, we believe that you are true, but don't put too much burden on your shoulders. If there is anything, let's carry it together." That's it. Although we may not be able to help much, it is still possible to share weal and woe..."

"And us!"

Fang Ling held Nannan's hand, and the two little girls squeezed over.

The bright golden sunlight in the morning passed through the window with hazy water vapor, forming a beautiful silhouette. The shadows of the five people cuddled together, swaying slightly on the mottled yellow mud wall that had been there for many years.
