Chapter 13
Four days later.
They drove the carriage for four days, and finally arrived in Jiangbei. Ning Jinsi's carriage was parked in a village outside Jiangbei City. This village was very small, with only a dozen households. I found the village chief's house and explained to him why I came here. The village chief immediately changed his expression: "Don't go to the city, girl, it's dangerous. No one in our village came back alive."
The village head is an old man in his 60s who has lived here since he was a child and speaks a Jiangbei dialect.
Jiangbei is under the jurisdiction of Yuanxia. It is a small subsidiary city. It has accumulated rain all year round and has many lakes. Many arid areas use water from here to relieve drought.
Ning Jinsi looked at the village chief, "Village chief, we are definitely going to the city, you can just find us an independent residence, and we won't bother you for too long."
The village head looked at her, sighed and shook his head, what a pity for such a pretty girl.
He led them to a house on the edge of the village, "This family entered the city a few days ago, and they haven't come back yet. I think they won't be able to come back. Girls, you will stay here."
"Thank you, village chief." Ning Jinsi took off the hairpin from her head and put it in the village chief's hand.
The village chief watched and wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and left.
Ning Jinsi walked into the house. The furnishings in the house were simple and not dusty. Before coming to this family, she liked to be clean.
Mingyue lit the oil lamp, the room lit up immediately, and took out a box of refreshments. "Miss, come and have some food, and I will go to the city tomorrow to have a look."
While Ning Jinsi was eating, thunder suddenly sounded outside the house, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky. It seemed that it was going to rain again.
While sleeping at night, Ning Jinsi had a nightmare again, accompanied by lightning and thunder outside, fear instantly swept through her body.
In a dark room, full of bloody smell, animal carcasses and furs piled up on the ground, she was a little frightened, shivering in a corner, her eyes fell on a crystal coffin at the end of the room, the coffin seemed attractive Normally, she wanted to pass inexplicably, but she couldn't make it through. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in the air that could mercilessly separate her.
Suddenly there was a glimmer of light at the door, and the surrounding area seemed to be covered with white mist. The floor became transparent, animal carcasses and furs disappeared, and the smell of blood disappeared. Instead, it was filled with a scent that filled her nose and mouth. The scent became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help coughing.
A man walked towards her, bent down and pinched her jaw, with a hint of contempt in his voice: "Tsk, why are you crying?"
Ning Jinsi came back to her senses, raised her hand to wipe her face, only to realize that she was already in tears. Looking at the man in front of her, she began to sob uncontrollably, holding the corner of her skirt tightly with both hands.
The man let go of her, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, looked down at her, and said in a smug tone, "You've been here for so long and he didn't come to you, so you should give up, right?"
"You should be buried with my woman."
After the man said this, the surroundings changed back to normal,
Ning Jinsi was still confused when she heard those words. Suddenly, there was a cramping pain in her abdomen. Her pupils shrank sharply, she lowered her head stiffly, and stared straight at the long sword inserted into her abdomen. The sword was pulled out, and the intestines mixed with blood were pulled out, the body gradually became numb, and the eyes began to lose sight...
……
The next day, the soil outside the house mixed with last night's rain gave off a fragrance.
Ning Jinsi packed up and went into the city. On the road, there were vaguely buried corpses and small piles of graves.
The two walked for a while, and when they stood on the hill at the gate of the city, they could hear the wailing and the crying of children from inside.
It's like a ghost town.
"Miss, are we really going in?" Mingyue was a little scared.
Ning Jinsi put on her hat and veil, turned her head to look at Mingyue: "Do you still remember what Master once said to us?"
Mingyue thought for a while and said, "I remember."
"Let's go, the result is good or bad, just do your best."
The two came to the gate of Jiangbei City. There was not even a gatekeeper in Nuoda City. Ning Jinsi walked in. The street that was supposed to be bustling and bustling was now dirty and messy. A few mice ran across the road from time to time. The people sitting there were like refugees. Ning Jinsi looked at them with mixed feelings, and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity watching these scenes.
They walked on the street, and the people on both sides looked at them. The gorgeous and decent clothes were incompatible with this place. An epidemic made the people in Jiangbei feel miserable.
Suddenly, a little boy ran out from the alley and ran over. Ning Jinsi was caught off guard, and her veil was blown by the wind, but Mingyue supported her.
"What's the matter with you kid? You're so careless." Mingyue was startled, and she protected Ning Jinsi behind her.
The little boy turned a deaf ear to her words, stared at Ning Jinsi with two round eyes, was stunned for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Wow! She is a fairy sister!"
People looked in this direction, and some thought that she would definitely be infected. People who came to this place could not get out alive in the end, either dragging their bodies half dead, or directly buried here. Everyone couldn't help feeling sad for her.
At this time, the little boy's mother came over, and the woman wrapped her tightly, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, caught the little boy and slapped him on the buttocks, and reprimanded sharply: "Don't run out! Why are you so disobedient?"
The seven or eight-year-old child instantly pursed his mouth and burst into tears.
Mingyue looked at it, feeling sorry for her young lady: "Ma'am, is your child okay? He bumped into my young lady just now."
"It's all right, little lady, don't worry, my children are in good health," the woman looked them up and down, then smiled and said, "The two ladies are foreigners, right? I advise you to go out of the city while the day is still bright." Be careful, if you get infected, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.”
"Then why don't you leave?" Ning Jinsi asked.
The woman sighed: "I've lived here since I was a child, besides, the child's father just passed away a few days ago, where else can we go?"
"We are here specially to investigate this plague incident. If you know anything, please tell us."
"It's useless, it's useless," the woman waved her hands repeatedly after hearing this, "I don't know how many medical officers the imperial court has sent over the past month, but they are all helpless. The lucky ones can go back alive, and the unlucky ones all died here."
I thought they would get scared and leave.
Ning Jinsi couldn't see her expression clearly through the white veil, so she said to the aunt, "Since the court has paid more attention to it, I will stay even more."
"No, no." The woman said and drove her out of the city: "You clean little girls, don't come here, go back quickly."
The people on both sides of the street also let her go out with one voice.
In the end, there was no way, and the master and servant were driven out of the city.
Mingyue was in a hurry: "What's the matter with these people, the miss is kind enough to help them treat their illnesses, but she actually drives us out, I really don't know what's good or bad."
"Mingyue be careful," Ning Jinsi reprimanded lightly, "The people here are kind-hearted. They have seen the plague rampant and know how terrible the plague is. They didn't want us to be buried in it so they drove us out. If you complain like that? Didn't they fail their good intentions?"
Mingyue lowered her head: "Miss taught me the lesson."
Ning Jinsi turned around and her eyes fell on the city gate.
