Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 40
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Zhang sighed: "Miss Xu and the others just came to our house for dinner, she also healed your elder brother's leg, and gave us so much money when she was done, how can I feel at ease. "

Only then did Zhang Zhilan discover the silver dollar in Mrs. Zhang's hand, and said, "They would be so kind? She didn't do something to my elder brother's leg. She was afraid of something going wrong in the future, so she left the silver dollar to stop us. Mouth?"

Aunt Zhang gave Zhang Zhilan a blank look, and the girl became more crooked: "Nonsense! Didn't you see that your elder brother's leg is healed now? What could go wrong? If you continue to slander our benefactor, be careful that I won't leave you a meal." !"

Zhang Zhilan curled her lips: "Okay, I just don't say anything."

Zhang Zhilan looked at the direction where Xu Ruqing and the others left, and her mind was involuntarily distracted. She thought of Ye Xiao's peerless face again, with a hint of shyness in her brows and eyes.

I don't know if we will see each other again in the future...

After leaving Luoyun Mountain, Luoyun City is half a kilometer away from the foot of the mountain.

Li Daniu parked the ox cart, and then asked Xu Ruqing and others to wait here, while he went to the carriage rental shop and rented a spacious carriage for Xu Ruqing and the others.

"It's really hard work for you, Brother Li."

Li Daniu waved his hand indifferently, and put the rein firmly around the horse's neck: "Hey, there is no hard work, but I heard that you are very skilled in medicine, little lady, and even the local doctors can't cure the disability." , It’s only a matter of three or two when I come to you. Brother Dalong is also kind to me, you are Dalong’s benefactor, that is, my benefactor, and it is right to do these things for you.”

Su Yichen took the rein from Li Daniu's hand: "If that's the case, then I would like to thank Brother Li for his generous help. Let's go, and we will meet later."

"Alright, be careful on your way home."

"Okay, please stay."

With that said, Su Yichen lashed the horse's butt with the whip, and the army chariot drove, and set off all the way towards the capital.

Xu Ruqing was dozing off all the way. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for two consecutive days. From the moment she got into the carriage, sleepiness swept over her like a storm. Wake up.

Ye Xiao looked at Xu Ruqing's peaceful sleeping face and that flamboyant sleeping posture, and there was a hint of searching in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After staring at Xu Ruqing's face for a long time, he suddenly smiled, and opened the carriage in the next second The window at the top flew out with a light leap, and then drove in the opposite direction of the carriage.

Su Yichen only felt that the carriage was much lighter, and he knew that Ye Xiao had left without saying goodbye.

Oh, it's quite a knowledgeable person.

The carriage clicked, and when it was about to reach the city gate, Xu Ruqing found that there were many ragged people outside the city gate.I don't know if it's because of the hot weather, but their faces are so dark that they look ugly, their bodies are in a state of extreme dehydration, and they look like they are dying.

They surrounded the city gate, completely ignoring the obstruction of the gate guards, and had a sense of sight of breaking through the city gate.

"Master Guan, give us a way to survive. It doesn't matter if we are old, but this child is still young, so you can let him go to the city..." A pair of ragged grandchildren and grandchildren were blocked by guard soldiers.

"Go away, go away, where are there so many beggars, get out of here." The soldier drove away the rushing crowd with tasseled guns, his eyes filled with impatience.

"Officer, please, let us enter the city. We haven't eaten for several days. My wife and children are starving." Another middle-aged man knelt down in front of the soldiers desperately, Constantly kowtow to the officers and soldiers.He was dressed neatly, but there was a lot of dust on his face after traveling around, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Did you fucking not understand people's words? If you say you won't be allowed to enter the city, if you don't get out, don't blame me for using a knife to drive you out!" The leader of the soldiers looked at the crowd with disgust.

Seeing the sharp knife exposed by the soldier, the man's dirty and unrecognizable face was full of fear and helplessness.He had no choice but to go forward and help his wife up, hugged the two-year-old child in his arms, and sat down at the base of the wall.

Unable to ask for food and unable to enter the city, the family looked helplessly at the crowd in a daze, as if planning to just bask in the sun and wait for death to come...

Xu Ruqing looked at everything outside through the car window, and there was a touch of pity in her beautiful eyes. She couldn't bear it, so she took a few buns and gave them to the man. "You look weak, this is Momo, eat it quickly."

When the couple saw a well-meaning person brought them pancakes, their eyes lit up and they knelt down to thank them. "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor."

"You don't need to thank me, but I'm curious why there are so many refugees in Luoyun City suddenly? Where did you come from? Why do you have to enter the capital?" She had already noticed it outside today, Unknown turmoil was hidden under the prosperous appearance of Luoyun City.Refugees can be seen everywhere, hungry beggars gather together in twos and threes, and there is a breath of death all over their bodies...

"We are farmers who live ten miles away from Luoyun City. Recently, there is a plague in the suburbs, which affects many people. Many people were killed or injured. The rich families have already fled to the capital."

"Plague?" Xu Ruqing unconsciously raised her voice. "Looking at what you're wearing, the standard of living before you came here wasn't considered tight, but why can't you enter the city?"

"Hey, benefactor, you don't know. The tax control has taken away most of the money we have grown and sold over the years, and the rest of the money can barely make ends meet. Now that the plague hits suddenly and prices rise, Money is worthless now, and even getting enough to eat has become a problem now... If you want to enter the city, you must buy a customs clearance document from the official, and if we don't have money, we can only stay in the city to fend for ourselves..." The man said loudly Chewing steamed buns, talking vaguely and sobbing, weeping sobbingly while talking.

When he thought of having his wife and children to take care of, especially his wife suffering from a serious disease because of not having enough to eat, he felt distressed and helpless.

Xu Ruqing was thoughtful, thought for a while and asked, "Where was the plague first discovered?"

Luoyun City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a unique climate. It is difficult for mosquitoes, rats and ants to survive in such a climate, and it is largely impossible to cause infection by living organisms carrying germs.So what caused this plague?
The beggar man thought for a while and said: "I heard that it was first discovered in the suburbs outside the city. At the beginning, the people there just coughed, and the serious ones were only mild diarrhea. I didn't expect the plague to become so severe all of a sudden. Everyone is infected."
