Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1393 Only by protecting history can we protect the future

A few days passed like this.

It has been very peaceful these days because the official documents reported by various counties have not shown any outbreaks of the epidemic in other places.

These past few days have been very difficult because everyone who had close contact with Old Li has shown symptoms.

Even the guards and villagers who were contaminated by the villager's filth were unfortunately infected even though they were ordered to deal with it immediately after the situation was under control.

The antipyretic, analgesic and antiemetic drugs prescribed by Doctor Fang could only temporarily relieve the symptoms but could not completely cure them.

The condition of the sick is getting worse.

Today, just as Bai Mingwei and Liu Yao finished listening to their subordinates' reports, another guard came rushing over to report: "Master, Your Highness, something bad has happened!"

Liu Yao's expression changed and his brows furrowed.

My already tense nerves became even more tense at this moment.

Bai Mingwei looked at the guard and slowed down his voice: "Speak slowly."

The guard quickly reported back: "Dead, dead. Several of the infected people who were gathered at the inn for treatment by the master could not make it through the final stage and just now, they passed away one after another."

Bai Mingwei had no expression on his face, only his long eyelashes trembled slightly: "I know."

This is the result they must bear.

There will be many more cases like this unless a cure is developed.

The guard continued, "There is one more thing. The family of the deceased insisted on returning the body."

Liu Yao said, "Don't give it to them. I will personally explain to the families of the deceased later."

The guard bowed and said, "In that case, thank you for your help, Your Highness. However, among the dead, the family of one of them is very special."

Bai Mingwei asked: "How is it special?"

The guard responded, "It is like this. The deceased had two sons. The first one died in the battle of Yinshan. There is a document of compensation from the imperial court in the family."

"The other son, when the master and His Highness went north to fight the enemy, he took the initiative to go to Jiangbei and fight alongside the two of you even though he did not receive any conscription requests."

"The deceased's situation is even more special. I don't know how to explain it, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I will report it to the master and His Highness first, and ask you two to make the decision."

Liu Yao stood up immediately and said, "There is no time to lose. I will go now. These are the first batch of deaths in Yuan Town. If we don't handle it well, we won't be able to establish rules, which will bring countless troubles to future operations."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's right, I will go with Your Highness."

The confidant immediately handed over the special cotton cloth.

The cotton cloth had several layers, with some charcoal ash filled in the middle. In order to prevent the charcoal ash from overflowing, the innermost layer was very dense.

So after putting it on, breathing is inevitably a bit uncomfortable.

Moreover, this special cotton cloth was very scarce, and even if it was prepared in advance, it would not be enough to distribute to anyone.

It can only be used by those who have close contact with the sick, and according to the doctor, a piece of cotton cloth that has been used all the time needs to be replaced with a new one every other day or so.

No matter how rare, the old ones must be thrown into the fire and burned.

In order to prevent anyone from being greedy for these valuable cotton cloths, the burning rules are very strict and must be supervised by a trustworthy person to prevent anyone from replacing the original with the original.

After Liu Yao put it on, he nodded to Bai Mingwei and said, "General, let's go."

The two men passed through the garrison checkpoint and entered Yuan Town.

Green bricks and green tiles, and agarwood from the ancient town.

This small town surrounded by water has ancient bluestone alleys, each of which is full of historical atmosphere, which shows how many years it has gone through.

Despite wars, natural disasters and man-made calamities, it still stands tall in the long river of history.

However, this time the epidemic is very severe. If it cannot be controlled, this prosperous but enduring town will probably become a wasteland.

Walking on the bluestone road paved thousands of years ago, Liu Yao sighed sincerely: "This town has a much longer history than Dongling, but I didn't expect it to become like this now." Bai Mingwei said: "Everything starts from birth to development, then from development to prosperity, and from prosperity to decline, and finally ends. This Yuan Town is no exception."

Liu Yao smiled bitterly: "That's why I feel so touched. General, I don't want this town that has stood for thousands of years to be destroyed by me."

Bai Mingwei didn't say much.

This small town is just a drop in the ocean in Dongling.

If she had not come to Jiangbei, even though she was well-read, she had never seen a single word about this town in any book.

It was this natural disaster that allowed her to know the mountains and rivers of Jiangbei like the back of her hand. She even knew where there were wells for drawing water and where there were fields for planting rice.

Yuan Town also came into her sight during this epidemic, and she learned about the origin, rise and fall of this small town.

It is said that a prince fell in love with a common girl who was washing clothes by the stream when he was studying abroad.

This love would certainly not be accepted by the world, and in the end the prince gave up his wealth and glory, as well as the throne he was about to inherit, to pursue his girl.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. When the prince put aside all his worldly desires and came to be with the girl he had been dreaming of, the girl died due to a serious illness.

Because the prince met the girl by the stream, he buried his lover by the stream. He built a thatched hut next to his lover's grave and guarded his lover for the rest of his life.

Over the past few decades, more and more people have settled here for various reasons, gradually forming a village, and then developing into a town.

After the prince passed away, people named the village after the girl in order to celebrate this beautiful story and commemorate his lifelong love.

The girl's name was A Yuan, and this place was originally called Yuan Town.

But later it was changed to Yuan Town because the prince's name contained the word "Dan".

Take Yuan, take water, and it is called "Yuan".

Even though this person has passed away, those who witnessed this beautiful story are no longer here.

However, the prince's lifelong loyalty is still admired by generations to come and praised for thousands of years.

Even though this place was once invaded and ruled by foreign races, the beautiful stories that took place on this land have not been lost.

Bai Mingwei knew that from her own perspective, she wanted to protect this place with stories.

From His Highness's perspective, he should cherish this enduring land.

A ruler who is truly broad-minded and far-sighted will never destroy any period of history.

Chapter 1393 Only by protecting history can we protect the future.

Perhaps, this is another purpose of Yuan Wu.

If Yuanzhen were to be destroyed in the hands of His Highness, regardless of what outsiders would say, it would be a huge blow to His Highness at this moment.

Perhaps because of this blow, His Highness, who originally had a bright future, would lose his most valuable quality.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingwei's eyes became particularly complicated.

Seeing Bai Mingwei lost in thought, Liu Yao asked, "General, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Mingwei came back to his senses: "I remembered the origin of Yuan Town."

Liu Yao exclaimed: "That is indeed a moving story. If I can let go of the secular world, I can also wait for my beloved for my whole life."

Bai Mingwei was speechless. It was really difficult to respond.

But then, Liu Yao spoke again: "The prince guarded his beloved for his entire life, and later generations have kept their story for thousands of years. Now, it is our turn to keep this history."

Bai Mingwei nodded: "Don't give up until the end."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the inn that was temporarily chosen.
