Chapter 129: The Moment of Despair (2)
Strictly obey?Then what happened to the emergency report sent to the imperial capital that the epidemic had spread to the surrounding areas?

Dongfangyu suppressed the doubts in his heart, casually raised his eyes and glanced at Commander Zhang, and asked, "The symptoms?" After a slight pause, he quickly asked, "How are the symptoms of those villagers? Do they seem to be infected with the plague?"

Commander Zhang recalled it for a while, then shook his head, and said, "They look like normal people, and they don't seem to be sick."

No infection!

Dongfang Yu followed closely and asked again: "Then why don't you let them out?"

Commander Zhang's face became serious, and an extremely stern expression appeared on his dark face. He looked at Dongfangyu, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and said sharply, "Since you are a military doctor, don't you know what military orders are like mountains? Since the prince Strictly ordered us to stick to this place, and repeatedly stated that no one can be let out without his permission, do you want me to disobey the military order?"

Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a sense of irony filled his heart. It seemed that Commander Zhang was a stickler for carrying out his orders to the end. The prince was not an officer, so what kind of military orders were his orders.

Dongfang Yu showed him an apologetic expression, and asked again: "Then what happened afterwards? No one else wants to come out?"

"Recently, there were a few panicked villagers who wanted to leave Mutian Village secretly, but we drove them all back."

Commander Yan listened, and realized that something was wrong, followed Dongfangyu and asked, "Then you didn't ask them, what's the situation inside? What about the prince's situation?"

Commander Zhang raised his head and glanced at Commander Yan coldly. He probably felt that what he said was too idiotic. There was undisguised contempt in his eyes, and he said, "Of course I asked. They said that many people died inside, but I didn't see any princes, I only know that the people who entered their village before seem to have disappeared."

Commander Yan was taken aback: "It's gone?"

That's okay, the crown prince is Dongcheng's heir apparent, if there is something wrong with the crown prince, wouldn't it shake Dongcheng's foundation?

At this thought, Commander Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't bother to ask in detail at the moment.

"Commander Zhang, tell the brothers to open the checkpoint, we have to go into the village to inspect it in detail."

Commander Zhang nodded. Since there was an imperial decree, he naturally put them into Mutian Village without hesitation.

After passing the checkpoint and walking for a short time, they smelled the smell of carrion floating in the air. The smell was stinky and horrific, and it was disgusting. Some people couldn't stand the smell in the air. He squatted on the side of the road and vomited.

Dongfang Yu frowned tightly, and before approaching Mutian Village, he said decisively: "Commander Yan, please stop everyone and put on special protective clothing before entering the village."

When Doctor Shi heard this, he hung his immobile arm, and immediately sneered, "I make a fuss when I smell a little smell, maybe it's just a smelly wild dog on the side of the road!"

Dongfang Yu gave him a cold look, but looked at Commander Yan with a serious expression, and said slowly, "Commander Yan, you don't need to believe in my medical skills, but you shouldn't make fun of the lives of soldiers."

Commander Yan's heart skipped a beat, then he nodded and ordered with a calm face: "Everyone, stop where you are, take out your protective clothing and put it on before we enter the village."

Just outside the checkpoint, the conversation with Commander Zhang is still in my ears, and he will not be negligent because of Shi Yuyi's words.Thinking that it has been two months since the prince entered this village... Commander Yan's heart tightened, and a cold suffocation rose in his throat instantly.

After putting on the protective clothing, a group of hundreds of them continued to walk towards the village in a mighty manner. After a while, the sign of Mutian Village could be seen hanging alone on the archway at the entrance of the village from a distance.

Looking into the eyes, the surroundings are extremely desolate and decaying scenes. The dusk has already risen, but there is no trace of people in the village, not even a ray of fireworks.

The whole village seemed to have turned into a dead village in the silence. It was silent, not even the sound of chickens and dogs.

The suffocating silence, and the disgusting stench in the air blown by the breeze, in this oppressive environment, everyone was worried, and they couldn't help but lighten their steps, walking carefully step by step towards the village go.

Dongfang Yu quickened his pace, passed the soldiers and walked ahead, and entered the first house in the village.

The courtyard door was ajar, she pushed it lightly, and the door opened.

Looking up, there was a dead man lying under the pagoda tree in the yard, his stiff body was still crawling towards the gate of the yard.

Xia Xue, who came in after a glance, couldn't help turning her head immediately. She wasn't afraid of seeing the dead, but she just felt a sudden surge of sadness and pity in her heart, because of the weird posture of the dead person in the yard, which was a posture that desperately wanted to survive. .

Dongfang Yu's face gradually turned cold, and his bright eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost. The eyes were shrouded in thick blackness, and no one could see through the deep emotions inside.

She walked over gently, and squatted down beside the man who had been dead for a long time.

Carefully observing all the symptoms of the deceased, she used her professional knowledge to determine the cause of death of this young man.

The skin is covered with red spots, the throat and tongue are swollen and protruding, accompanied by severe congestion, and the mouth also emits an unusually foul smell.

Various symptoms indicated that this young man had undoubtedly died of some sudden disease.

Dongfang Yu stood up slowly, but did not speak. Commander Yan saw her solemn expression, and a heavy shadow was cast over his heart instantly.

Doctor Shi looked at her, restrained his habit of finding faults and picking thorns at any time, and walked into the room limping.

He found three more dead people inside. Judging by their age, they should be the wife of the man in the courtyard and a pair of immature children.

The death of the three of them was similar to that of the man, but judging from the degree of their decay, they should have died before the man.

The atmosphere was so solemn that it made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts. Commander Yan suppressed the panic rising in his heart, and asked slowly: "Mr. Shi, Miss Dongfang, in your opinion, can the plague in this village be controlled?"

Judging from his experience, this family has been dead for ten days and a half months. If this is a highly contagious plague, by this time, he estimates that probably everyone in this village has already been infected with the disease , everyone is almost dead.

Physician Shi repeatedly stroked the gray goatee on his chin, glanced at the girl who had lost her smile, and said slowly, "Let's go to other parts of the village to see before we talk."

Commander Yan nodded with a sullen face. No matter what, they at least had to find the prince who had been in this village for two months before making any plans.
