A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 896 Despair and Anger

After they understood the situation, they changed their previous bad attitude and stopped scolding Chongyi, but solemnly clasped their fists in salute.

Everyone looked sad.

One of them said: "To be honest, General Qiu and Miss Ming are indeed still in the town. The young general was infected with the plague and did not retreat with the army. When the young lady came to the blockade of the city gate and learned about it, she resolutely turned her horse back. , and never came out again. Later, I waited and guarded outside the city gate, and have been waiting until now.”

Another person said: "Damn the imperial envoy, you only reported the rampant plague, but you didn't report the fact that the young general Qiu and the eldest lady were trapped. The deputy general has already reported back to Beijing to report to the general. We are all waiting for the general to send someone to help .”

There are one or two hundred infected people in the city, and there may be more. Now they have little manpower, how can they be enough.Not to mention going into the town to find Lord Ming Yan and Qiu Ke, once the city gate is loose and the plagued people find it and all flock here, it will be troublesome.

So no matter how anxious they are, they have nothing to do but wait.

This group of people had also discussed it long ago. If the two of them failed to come out alive in the end, the big guy would not return to Beijing to continue serving as a soldier.

The people inside tried their best to get out, digging the door and howling endlessly at night, while the people outside tried their best to avoid it. Even if they wanted to cross the town, they would take a long detour.

Meng Yan and Chongyi were the first two they saw to come straight.

Meng Yan frowned and said: "The troops sent by the imperial court to eradicate the epidemic must be on their way. When they arrive at this place, if they come to this place once and for all, I am afraid that they will directly set fire to the city without exception."

Therefore, before the people from the imperial court arrive, it is still possible to fish out the two of them.

But everyone can't fish blindly, Meng Yan must first determine what the specific situation of the plague is.

This group of nurses have been impatient for a long time, and no doctor is willing to risk their lives to contact the infected people. Now that Meng Yan and Chongyi have come, and they have learned that Meng Yan is good at medicine, they can't let go of any hope. Even if you go through fire and water, you have to give it a try.

These people are the soldiers around Ming Yanjun and Qiu Ke, and Meng Yan learned about the specific symptoms of the plague in detail from them.

This infectious disease is extremely lethal and develops extremely fast, which usually has a lot to do with the environment.

Now it is full of infected people, whether they are alive or dead, the disease must have spread more and more seriously.

Meng Yan said seriously: "I can't guarantee that Lord Yan and the little general of the Qiu family will be cured, but I have to see with my own eyes anyway. If their condition is so serious that I can't control it, then I can only let them It's not that painful to go. I hope you can be prepared in your heart."

That being said, she absolutely did not want the situation to develop to that point.She only prayed that she would not come too late, that everything could be salvaged.

The soldiers were silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.Someone said: "We know."

As the sky fell, the town showed a black silhouette in the increasingly dark night.

When the infected people wanted to escape out of the city, with the efforts of the soldiers, they added one after another protection to the outside of the city gate, and fixed the city gate to death.

Now it is easy for them to open the city gate from the outside, but the plagued people inside can't wait for it, so if they want to enter the town, they can't enter through the city gate.

Compared with the towering city wall of the capital, the city wall of this small town is nothing compared to the big city wall. It is not difficult to climb over this city wall.

So Meng Yan asked his soldiers to build two ladders.

In the large forest outside the town, it is not difficult to build two ladders. Everyone worked together to cut down two trees, and it didn't take much time to build them.

At this time, Meng Yan and Chongyi heard the sound of scratching the gate with nails, and the cries of the plagued people, it was creepy.

The soldiers reacted normally to this, because there would be two fights like this every day.

The ancestral hall in the town can no longer hold these infected people, and as the disease worsens, no one can stay awake to make medicine for everyone.

The most important thing is that everyone had a glimmer of hope at first. Even though the other townspeople who were not sick had already evacuated, they still did not give up on themselves, took medicine on time, took care of and supported each other; but after drinking so much medicine, Not only did he fail to get treatment for his condition, but he also watched the people around him go crazy and go crazy because of the extreme pain.

Despair made them fall into an instinctive struggle, eager to find a way out.

In addition to scratching the gates of the city every day, the affected people also ran from house to house, trying to find some food.

The courtyard where Ming Yanjun and Qiu Ke were located was also discovered by the affected people not long after.

When the infected people were still awake, they were somewhat relieved to see that the two stayed in the town like them and did not completely abandon them.

But gradually as they became more and more desperate, the comfort of the affected people gradually turned into anger at the end of the road.

They began to feel that it was precisely because Qiu Ke and Ming Yanjun brought officers and soldiers into this town that the town was never peaceful.The officers and soldiers took away their relatives, leaving only them here to fend for themselves!
Even if they don't want their relatives to stay and suffer from the same pain as themselves, how many people can really look down on life and death?

Mr. Ming Yan wants to take care of Qiu Ke's injury while guarding against the infected people outside.

The horses tied outside by Mr. Ming Yan were all dragged away by the infected people and eaten.

The affected people also felt that the food and clothing in this courtyard dedicated to generals living and recuperating must be much better than ordinary people, and there might still be a lot of food.

As a result, some plagued people frantically wanted to rush into the yard, but Ming Yanjun stood in the courtyard with a stern look, and personally killed the two plagued people who ran in front.

Dirty blood mixed with pus flowed all over the ground.

It frightened the other infected people to step back, not daring to take another half step.

But both Ming Yanjun and Qiu Ke knew that this kind of deterrence was only temporary.

Once the plagued people outside all rush to this courtyard with the same goal, with the strength of Ming Yanjun alone, they will only be overwhelmed and torn apart by them.

Mr. Ming Yan cleaned up the corpse blood in the courtyard, washed his hands, and went back to the house to take care of Qiu Ke.

Qiu Ke had a fever, her eyes were red with heat, and she was trying to stay awake.

Some of the rashes on his chest had begun to burst and ooze pus, showing signs of festering.That sharp pain and itching stimulated his nerves all the time, trying to tempt him to reach out and scratch hard.

He kept clenching his fists, controlling himself.

When he was about to lose control, he stretched out his hand towards the wound, but before he touched it, Ming Yanjun leaned over to him, clasped his hands tightly, and clasped his fingers.
