Chapter 134 The Strange Cave (3)
"But after those family members came out, they fell ill one by one inexplicably, and the symptoms were exactly the same as those who were locked up by them alone; the prince accused the villagers that they should not listen to his advice; Closed and isolated, no one dared to say more, because the villagers began to believe that those patients really had the plague, and they began to feel real fear and panic at that time, so they listened to the prince in everything."

Uncle Tian put down the cold tea, and said again: "After those people were also locked up by him, no one in the village got sick again, so everyone believed in him very much, and the imperial doctor around him swore to us that he would definitely recover. Heal the sick."

Xiaoyong glanced at Uncle Tian, ​​and said indignantly: "We also believe it, and offer delicious food and drink to a group of them like a Bodhisattva every day. We only hope that they can control the terrible plague and make our relatives feel better. Restore health."

A strange emotion appeared on Uncle Tian's face, and he said: "At that time, we only saw the prince and the others loitering in the village all day long, wandering around, and the prince even took people to the river to touch fish and shrimp; at that time We were all very surprised, so we asked how the patients who were locked up by him were doing. I remember that the imperial doctor told us that the epidemic had been brought under control, and after a while, those patients would recover; he also said that they were walking around , in order to observe the terrain and eliminate possible hidden dangers of epidemics in the village."

Dongfang Yu's eyebrows twitched inexplicably, and he felt a little nervous and asked: "Then, what happened to the patients who were locked up? They all recovered to health? Then they were released and went back to their homes?"

Uncle Tian nodded, with suspicion in his eyes, "After they got a batch of medicinal materials from the officers and soldiers at the entrance of the village and entered the village, about five days later, the prince happily announced to us that the epidemic has been completely eliminated. They controlled it, and all the patients who were infected with the epidemic were cured, and after that, all the patients who were previously locked up were released."

Dongfangyu raised his eyebrows. How could the plague be contained so easily and all the patients cured so easily?No one died?This is too amazing!
Uncle Tian seemed to confirm her doubts, and said sadly: "But after these people were released and returned home, tragic things happened one after another."

Xiaoyong kicked a stone at his feet far away, gritted his teeth with a sullen face, and said, "The villagers are still immersed in the joy of happiness, just when the villagers are praising and respecting the so-called princes sent by the court. Sometimes, those villagers who had been locked up for half a month and returned home to reunite with their families for less than ten days all fell ill and died overnight."

"What's even more frightening is that all the people in the village who had contact with them began to suffer from different degrees of epidemics shortly after their death. Some people vomited continuously, some people had high fever, some people had swelling all over their bodies, and some people were in constant pain... In short, There are all kinds of things, and the villagers are completely in panic and panic."

Uncle Tian was also so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, shaking the cup above it.

"The prince seemed to be more panicked than the villagers at this time; they not only tried to find various reasons, or prevaricated or refused to treat the villagers, what's even more hateful is that they also wanted to take advantage of the night when the villagers were sleeping. Slip out of the village and walk away."

Commander Yan's complexion turned pale. How could the crown prince do such a thing of coveting life and fearing death?

Dongfang Yu and Xia Xue looked at each other silently. If this is the case, the so-called plague must be tricky; the prince obviously came prepared, why would he do such a shameful thing when it comes to the crisis?

sneak away?

It's unbelievable to say the least!
Xiaoyong was angry and furious, he took the water his father drank on the table and gulped it down. Finally, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said bitterly: "Fortunately, we were prepared, they haven't reached the entrance of the village yet. They were blocked back by us; they were forced to do nothing, so they were reluctant to see a doctor for the villagers."

"But this time, the illness of the villagers is not good at all. Not only is it not good, but it is getting more and more serious; and some people have started to die one after another." Uncle Tian sighed quietly, and said: "The prince seems to be in a hurry. Said that they didn't want to let us go, they just wanted to ask the court to send more experienced imperial doctors to support, and they also said that they would go to the court to bring some precious medicinal materials."

"At this time, whether we believe them or not, we will not let them leave the village."

Dongfangyu gradually felt a heavy and sad mood. What Uncle Tian meant, if there is really a plague in their village and the prince is there, the court will definitely send someone to treat it urgently; if the prince and his party are allowed to leave, the court will It is very possible to use extreme means to control the spread of the epidemic. This kind of thing is not uncommon in history.

Dongfang Yu thought of the house where the imperial doctor and guards were found, and couldn't help asking with a hint of coolness: "Then you trapped the prince and his party in a large courtyard in the village?"

Uncle Tian nodded, and said slowly: "At first we decided to do that, it was just a stopgap measure; we hoped to keep the prince and his party in the village, and then let people go to the entrance of the village to negotiate with the officers and soldiers, and let them find someone or let us out , It’s better for us to seek medical treatment ourselves than to be stuck here waiting to die.”

Dongfang Yu thought of the one-brained commander who was guarding the village entrance, and suddenly felt extremely cold: "Those officers and soldiers refused."

"Yes!" Uncle Tian said with hatred in his helpless eyes, "The commander insists that he must have the crown prince's own orders before he will follow through, otherwise, there will be no discussion at all."

Dongfang Yu closed his eyes, and his heart beat hard. The beginning of the tragedy really had a lot to do with the character of some people!
If Commander Zhang is a man who knows how to be flexible, he goes into the village to have a look, or if he doesn't stick to the prince's order so much, maybe today, this village will not be what it is now, and it will completely become a desolate, decaying and lifeless place of death. village.

The girl glanced at Uncle Tian indifferently. She hardly had the strength to ask any more, but had to bite the bullet and said, "Then what happened next? What happened?"

Uncle Tian said slowly: "We can't get out, and the prince and the others can't cure us, so we were frozen like this at that time, and we hope that the court will send someone here sooner."

Dongfang Yu remembered Feng Yu's description of those imperial doctors, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Isn't there a doctor in your village? He is also helpless against the epidemic?"

Uncle Tian shook his head, with a look of pain on his face, "Our village has always been peaceful, and the doctor has never seen any plagues like us. For a while, there is nothing we can do!"

Xia Xue remembered Commander Zhang's face, and asked in a cold voice, "Did none of you try to break through the checkpoint and force your way out of the village?"
