Xiangsheng prosperous

Chapter 26

Qiu Mo sneered in her heart when she heard the words.She naturally knew the purpose of the play that was performed this early in the morning.But coincidentally, what she needs to do is to cooperate with the play well.

She immediately pretended to be nervous and said, "Is uncle seriously injured? Has the doctor arrived yet?"

"Dr. Zhu from Shanchuntang was invited immediately, and he is taking a pulse now." Qiu Li said with sobs.

Lady Tian's face was still pale, and she pulled Qiu Mo's sleeve: "Mo'er, what should I do? Everyone who can take charge of the family has become like this, wait... wait until the county sends someone later Come……"

"The county sent people here? What are they here for? Isn't the case already closed?" Qiu Mo asked pretending to be surprised.

Lady Tian pretended to be flustered and said the wrong thing. After a few words, she stopped talking, and finally Qiu Li spoke.

"Third sister, you don't know something. Before the market closed yesterday, an official document came from the county, asking our Qiu family to arrange for a Qiu family member who knows how to avoid plague incense to go to Jinchengfang and Yiningfang to escort him today." Patients infected with the plague leave the city from Kaiyuanmen to the isolation area in the west of the city..."

"Li'er, what are you talking about with your elder sister..." Tian Niangzi wiped her tears and said, "My Qiu family has encountered a god of disaster, and this disaster is pouring basin after basin on my head. Mo'er Ah, your uncle and brother are not at home, your Aye and your fourth brother are not medically sensible, and now even your uncle and second brother are like this. There is no man in the family who can come forward. If the county wants to blame, then I will fight Go disobey this life." Seeing that this point has been reached, Tian Niangzi decided to put an end to this bitter drama.With tears in his eyes, he didn't forget to take a sneak peek at Qiu Mo's reaction.

"It seems that besides me, there is no other person in the family who is more suitable to go." Qiu Mo felt that the atmosphere had been set in place, and she didn't want to continue acting, so she said, "Don't worry, Auntie, if the county sends someone to urge, Mo I'll take care of this errand later."

Lady Tian was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face: "Oh, how can this be done, such a dangerous job..."

Qiu Mo interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "Auntie, don't worry too much, Mo'er will protect herself. Then Mo'er will go back to the room and get ready."

After she finished speaking, she saluted Lady Tian, ​​then turned around and left the room with Shuanghan.The moment Qiu Mo turned around, Lady Tian and Qiu Li looked at each other, smiling triumphantly.

********************
At the gate of Qiu's mansion, Qiu Mo received the passerby from the county government. Dressed in a sassy men's attire, Qiu Mo rushed to Yiningfang and Jinchengfang near Kaiyuanmen with a wooden box containing fifty plague-proof incense.

There are four patients that Qiu Mo needs to escort out of the city today. According to the requirements, each patient needs to prepare an ox cart separately, and the cart needs to be steamed with incense to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Qiu Mo stuffed the entrance of a plague-proof mouth sandalwood that she made in advance, then covered her mouth and nose with a clean cloth towel, and put on sheepskin gloves on her hands.While disinfecting the ox cart, she noticed Xuanzang's appearance.

At this time, at the gate of the two squares, two doctors covered their faces with cloth towels, divided into two groups, and each held a long-handled incense burner, leading four patients with mild epidemics to slowly walk towards the bullock cart where Qiu Mo was. come.

The incense burned in the long-handled censer was also used to ward off evil spirits and avoid plague. The two doctors took the patient to the bullock cart, and after the patients got on the cart, they fixed the censer on the fixed frame in the cart, and then retreated away.

After all the curtains of the ox cart were lowered, the four drivers took their places and took their seats.Waiting for Qiu Mo, the team leader, to announce his departure from the city.

Qiu Mo saw at a glance that the driver of the fourth ox cart with a particularly tightly wrapped face was Xuanzang.All his exposed skin was covered tightly, only a pair of piercing eyes were exposed at the hood.

She nodded to Xuanzang indistinctly, then raised her hand to greet the convoy, and drove slowly towards the Kaiyuan gate.

On Anfumen Street in front of Kaiyuanmen, hungry people who were about to escape from the customs began to gather slowly from the opening of the city gate.At the beginning, the soldiers guarding the gate of Sandao Gate were still a little tighter.Later, the number of people gradually increased, and the soldiers at the first and second gates only took a rough look, and if there were no major problems, they would let them go.

It's just that the third pass seems to be guarded by a high-ranking prison general.He has sharp eyes, no smile, and can always find problems in the crowd very accurately.It only takes one look, and the Chengmen Lang next to him will step forward to question him. Six or seven times out of ten, he will catch people who want to escape out of the city without the normal procedures.

When Qiu Mo and his group walked into the gate of Kaiyuan City, all the passers-by around saw their attire, and they all consciously retreated far away, for fear of being infected by the epidemic.Only the soldiers guarding the city gate remained motionless, staring at everyone in the convoy.

Qiu Mo took the public inspection and customs clearance document to find the prison general at the third pass, and after submitting to him the materials needed for customs clearance respectfully, she stood aside and waited for his inspection.

The general signaled to the city gates around him to inspect and check the public examinations and clearances of all the entourage and patients, while he himself looked up to see the situation on each bullock cart.In this way, about a quarter of an hour passed, and after all the documents had been checked, the prison gate general finally let go and signaled Cheng Menlang to let him go.

Just when Qiu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and waved back to signal the convoy to move forward, suddenly, on the right side of the convoy, there was a commotion among the gathered crowd.I saw an old woman, or because she was too hungry and stood for a long time, fainted on the side of the road.

Everyone in the accompanying convoy just turned their heads to look, but the driver of the fourth car seemed to be shaken, as if he wanted to jump down to check, but suddenly remembered something, sat still and couldn't move. Do not move.

This small change caught the attention of the prison general, who frowned slightly, and was about to step forward to check it out himself.

"General! Wait a minute." Qiu Mo stepped forward and stopped him: "You can't get close to the bullock cart right now."

"Why, you dare to stop me? Do you want to break through?" The general raised eyebrows, glared at Qiu Mo, and said in a low voice.

"I don't dare! It's just that you didn't take any protection, general. If you approach the epidemic vehicle at will, you may be at risk of being infected. This is also my duty. General Wang is sympathetic."

The prison gate general looked at the straight back in front of him, a little girl who was able to stand up to principles without being humble or overbearing when facing a sergeant like him who had seen blood, and felt a sense of appreciation in his heart.But appreciation is appreciation, and inspection still needs to be inspected.

He stretched out a hand to the guard next to him. The guard understood and immediately handed him a clean cloth towel.The general tied the cloth towel around his face to cover his mouth and nose, then raised his eyebrows at Qiu Mo and said, "I think you, the doctor, have something to avoid the plague with you, can you share one or two with me?"

Qiu Mo was unwilling in her heart, but she had no choice but to obediently take off her gloves, wash her hands, and then took a plague-avoiding sandalwood from her pouch, and handed it to the general.

The general chewed the sandalwood in his mouth, and then wanted to walk towards the convoy. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance to the city.

"Mo'er?"
