Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Qingyun and his party rushed all the way. It took them only six days to arrive at the gate of Nanyang County, which originally took half a month. However, they saw that the gate was closed tightly, and there was a notice on the wall on the right that the government strictly prohibited people from entering and leaving.

Long Ying mobilized his inner strength and shouted to the city tower: "The Ninth Princess is here, please open the city gate quickly!"

Cheng Yong, Duwei Cheng, who was on duty, hurried to the edge of the tower to look down. The five people below the tower were dressed in ordinary clothes, and the woman among them, despite the travel and dust, still couldn't hide her beautiful and refined face, noble and elegant temperament. , not the nine princesses, who else could it be?

Three years ago, Princess Nine accompanied the emperor on a tour of Nanyang County. He had the honor to meet Princess Nine, but why did Princess Nine suddenly appear in Nanyang County?

Before he had time to think about it, Cheng Duwei ordered someone to notify the county guard, went down from the tower and opened the city gate himself, and led the soldiers guarding the city to kneel down to greet him and said: "The last general is waiting for the ninth princess, and the ninth princess is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." age!"

"Exemption."

"Thank you Princess Nine!"

Glancing at Cheng Duwei and the others with their heads down, Qingyun Qing said: "Please Trouble Cheng Duwei to lead the way ahead, I want to see Lord Xia, the county guard."

"Don't dare to be the last general." Cheng Duwei said respectfully: "Ninth Princess, please follow the last general!"

Along the way, I saw that the doors of every household in the city were closed. The once bustling market now saw no one except the occasional patrolling soldiers. Adjacent to the border between Chu State and Liang State, and producing the finest wood, jade and silk, it has always been a gathering place for trade.

Xia Jie, the magistrate of Nanyang County, knelt at the gate of the yamen, and said with great sincerity and fear: "I don't know that the Ninth Princess is coming, but I have lost my way to welcome you. I also ask the Ninth Princess to forgive me!"

"Get up." Qingyun said straight to the point: "Lord Xia, don't be nervous, this palace is here to Nanyang County to take charge of the epidemic prevention and control affairs by order of the emperor."

Master Xia and Cheng Duwei were terrified when they heard the words, and they stood there for a long time before they came back to their senses and said in panic: "The Ninth Princess is here... to preside over the epidemic prevention and control affairs?"

Qingyun nodded.

"This matter must not be done!" The two hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Master Xia said anxiously: "The Ninth Princess is the body of a thousand gold, if there is any mistake, I will die and all the officials of Nanyang County will be blamed, please Ninth Princess Think twice!"

"This palace has its own sense of propriety, so Master Xia doesn't need to say much." Waving her hand to stop Master Xia from hesitating to speak, Qingyun asked: "Master Xia, how long has the epidemic happened? How is the situation now? There is still the village where the accident happened. Where? Where is the person who caused the source of the epidemic at this time?"

Lord Xia secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said truthfully and respectfully: "It has been more than half a month since I returned to the Ninth Princess. The village where the accident occurred was thirty miles south of the city, and 160 people from the three villages all died in the No one escaped the plague;

Now the two adjacent villages also have the epidemic. Weichen ordered people to cut off the water source and isolate the two villages. At present, there are no epidemics in the villages in and around Nanyang County, but there is a shortage of medicinal materials. After the epidemic spread cannot be effectively controlled;

As for the person who was infected with the plague, he died because of his serious illness, so I ordered people to cremate him and all the people who died of the plague. "

Qingyun was startled when she heard this: "Three thousand one hundred and sixty-five people?" But so many people died in just over half a month, how amazing is the speed of infection?

"Yes, everyone's situation is registered."

"Can you find out the identity of that person?"

"Back to Princess Nine, that person's name is Wei Xiaoshan, 12 years old, originally the son of a farmer in Shanyang County. Five years ago, his father and mother died of illness one after another, so he made a living by begging. It is said that he came to this county three days before the incident, because He was really hungry, so he sneaked into a family and ate the spoiled steamed buns that the head of the household was about to throw away. After he got sick, he didn’t seek medical treatment in time, and he ran around. In addition, he took a bath in the river commonly used by the villagers, which led to the outbreak of the epidemic. , spreading rapidly."

Qingyun frowned more and more.

"Shanyang County is adjacent to Nanyang County, but it is not as prosperous as Nanyang County. He has been begging for five years. Does Wei Xiaoshan, who is already 12 years old, know that Nanyang County can beg for food more than Shanyang County?

And he just came to Nanyang County three days before the incident, happened to sneak into that family, and happened to eat the steamed buns in question. Don't Master Xia think all this is too coincidental?

Also, knowing that he was sick, he not only ran around, but also took a bath in the river commonly used by the villagers. Don't Master Xia think his behavior is unreasonable?Besides, no one in the villagers found out about his condition, and no one saw and prevented him from going down to the river to take a bath? "

"Princess Nine means..." Master Xia and Captain Cheng changed their expressions when they heard this: Yes, all this is really incredible!

"I will go to the affected area to see the situation first." Qing Yun's expression was solemn and gloomy. If things are as she guessed, I'm afraid. . . . . .

Under the guidance of Lord Xia, Qingyun and others first came to the empty village, which has long lost its popularity, only houses standing alone, with the cold autumn wind blowing, the ground is full of dead branches and weeds There was a rustling sound, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, which seemed particularly bleak and weird.

Thinking that the people who were still alive and simple three years ago were all annihilated into the dust silently, Qingyun felt extremely sad for a moment.

Sensing Qingyun's sad mood, Mo Xuan quietly held her hand, looking at her clearly saying: Don't worry, I will do everything I have learned in my life to cure this epidemic!

Quietly withdrawing the hand that was tightly held by him, Qingyun blinked to hold back the tears she was holding back: Thank you!

Then a few people came to the two villages that were infected with the epidemic. Soldiers guarded all around and strictly prohibited people from going out. According to Mr. Xia, the people who had been infected with the plague were isolated in an open space six miles away, and the people who were not infected with the plague were also gathered together. Here, it is convenient to observe whether someone is infected with the epidemic at any time.

Someone suddenly found Qingyun and his party, and then all the people ran out of the house and kowtowed on both sides of the street: "Caomin and others see the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!"

"Please get up quickly." He stretched out his hand to help the centenarian with white hair and beard in front of him, and then looked at the excited and expectant faces around him. There was a layer of water mist in the light clouds and black pupils, and his tone was heavy and Guilty: "I failed to come in time to prevent and control the epidemic, which caused everyone to suffer. I am sorry for you!"

"Ninth Princess, don't say that!" The centenarian Mr. Zhou shook his head and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the journey from the capital to here is far away. The fact that Ninth Princess can appear at this time shows that Ninth Princess has been traveling day and night after hearing the news. Come here, Cao Min and others are already grateful to Dade, how can they bear the apology from Princess Nine?"

Star eyes flicked over everyone one by one, and Qingyun said in a loud voice: "Thank you for your understanding, please rest assured, my palace is here to preside over the prevention and control affairs under the order of the emperor, and I will never leave until the epidemic is cured; also, the imperial physician They will arrive soon, and the medicinal materials and various supplies ordered by the emperor will be delivered soon, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty!"

"The emperor's kindness is great, the grass people are saved!" Everyone was so grateful that they knelt down and kowtowed.

Hearing that Qingyun was going to the epidemic area, old man Zhou said anxiously: "Princess Ninth must not! The epidemic is extremely contagious. If Princess Nine makes mistakes, how will the grassroots explain to the emperor and all the subjects in the world?"

All strongly discouraged.

"Everyone don't have to worry, I know it well." Qingyun pointed to Mo Xuan beside him and said, "This is Mo Xuan, a genius doctor. We have to check the epidemic before we can prescribe the right medicine and cure the epidemic as soon as possible."

Everyone's faces were shocked and unbelievable when they heard it, and then they were very excited. They couldn't help but follow behind Qingyun and the others until they were ten feet away from the epidemic area, and they had to stay where they were when Qingyun sternly ordered everyone not to approach .

After taking the white cloth from Mo Xuan and tying it behind the head to cover the eyes, and putting on the white cloth gloves, Qingyun and Mo Xuan walked into the simple cloth tent.

The three Lu Po and Master Xia took the white cloth prepared by the soldiers and tied it, and followed closely behind.

All the people in the cloth tent looked haggard, pale, and their eyes were full of fear and helplessness. Many people were still humming with pain all over their bodies, and some even coughed up bright red bloody phlegm, with a foul smell The nostrils came, and the shadow of despair and death hung in everyone's heart.

Qingyun's eyes were gloomy, Mo Xuan gently shook her hand and silently comforted her, then walked to an old man and squatted down, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse of the old man, then untied the old man's clothes, when he saw the things on the old man clearly, Jian Mei frowned, and there was a dark light in his eyes.

The old man's neck and armpit lymph nodes were all red, swollen and festered, and his skin was also covered with ecchymosis and bleeding symptoms. The scene was horrific, accompanied by high fever, chills, fatigue and pain all over the body.

"Old man, can you hear me? Do you remember any discomfort when you first got sick?"

The old man was already unconscious, but a middle-aged man next to him said instead of the old man: "At the beginning, we were all just uncomfortable. After two or three days, we felt hot and cold. The doctor said it was caused by the wind and cold, but after eating Take medicine but never get better;

Then I felt pain all over my body, vomiting and coughing up blood, red spots all over my body, pustules on my neck, armpits and thighs, festering and smelly, we have never encountered such a situation and don’t know what’s going on;

It wasn’t until I heard that the little beggar died of the plague, and that all the people in the three villages he stayed in died, that we knew that we were infected with the plague. The county governor sent doctors to treat us but it couldn’t be controlled, and many people still died every day. . "

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man trembled uncontrollably, his face was ashen, and everyone around him looked desperate.

Afterwards, Qingyun and others inspected several other tents, and the results of the inquiries were similar. Qingyun, with a heavy heart, was about to ask Mo Xuan if there was a way, when he accidentally saw a person striding forward, with deep and soft black eyes: " How will you be here?"
