Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 11 Fire from the sky!

In the first year of Xianghe, heavy water fell from the sky for three days and three nights. The flood broke out in the Quhe area of ​​the southwest, and the river spread to nearby villages. Hundreds of people died tragically. , as the main water flow along the river, the outbreak of the plague actually swept through the vicinity of the source of the river at a whirlwind speed, and the disease spread most severely in Gaopingfu Village, which has always been famous for its large number of people.

Close to Gaoping Village, five or ten miles nearby could not escape bad luck. The plague spread to Lijia Village, Fengjia Village and Xinghua Village with an unexpected and tricky attack.

The people fled overnight, and more vicious people took the opportunity to commit crimes, killing and looting houses, forcing the people to flee their homes. In two days, thousands of people gathered in Quhe, and the plague followed like a shadow.

The plague went straight up, and the news spread to the capital at a speed of [-] miles. The emperor was furious and frightened all the officials, and immediately sent an imperial envoy to personally investigate and deal with it.

Five days later, the people fleeing the canals were temporarily called refugees. The number of refugees increased day by day, and the plague increased from one hundred to one thousand without stopping. The plague was really difficult to control.

On another five days, the capital received a memorial to the disaster area. It is said that there were only a few bright red characters written on the memorial. Afterwards, I heard that the emperor sent his confidants to Quhe secretly on that day.

In October, when the cold wind was flooding, the canal river was lit up with a red light in mid-air one night. When the red light got worse, it turned out to be a big fire. The officials stationed ten miles away issued an emergency order to 'save people and put out the fire'.

The fire burned for a full five days, and the place near the Quhe was pitch black, and even many bones could be seen among them. The officials reported to the court again, calling out the fire from the sky, and the disaster of the people!
The Quhe fire is destined to become a thing of the past. The world was shocked when the shocking fire broke out that day. Although it was only half a month long, it has been forgotten. The next day in Teng County, a hundred miles away, is in the bustling season.

It is said that after the fire, the plague disappeared miraculously, and the diseases that were originally approaching the upper reaches seemed to be burned by the fire, and this large county that was almost approaching the Quhe was unscathed.

Teng County is a large county with thousands of people. Although the county magistrate Li Changqing is only a seventh-rank official, his reputation is very good. There are very few unjust cases in the county after he has been an official for decades.

In the restaurant, the storyteller was drooling, and he was talking about the most popular knight-errant love recently. When he talked about the ending, when the knight-errant was killed by an official and caused a tragedy, it triggered a sad feeling. They all scolded loudly, so they changed their words and sighed at Mr. Li of this county, who couldn't stop praising him again.

"Hmph, it's just a ruthless parental officer, and it's worthy of praise!" A small voice came from the corner of the restaurant, and because the voice was so small, it didn't attract anyone's attention.

After listening for a while, I saw that the storyteller was talking, and the people in the corner stood up boringly. When the figure stood up, I realized that it was a child less than one meter long, and the child was thrown away. Shaking his numb legs, muttering something in his mouth, he strode out of the restaurant, but just as he reached the door, he was spotted by the gatekeeper Xiao Er, who stared and kicked him.

"When did the beggar come, get away!"

Since the Naquhe fire, there have been many beggars in the county. The shopkeeper has repeatedly told them not to let them get close. Who would have thought that they would be sneaked in without paying attention, and he was still a little beggar. , which one kicked empty.

Seeing that the little beggar who was supposed to shriek and leave, instead of leaving, turned around, with a black face that could not be seen clearly, but those eyes were very bright.
