Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 293 Worries about the immediate future

"Woohoo. Woohoo."

A gust of wind blew the light in the little girl's hand swaying. The design of the storm lamp was to focus light with porcelain, and the semicircular surface had a wind-shielding effect, but it would not work if the wind was too chaotic.

After the fire flickered for a while, a gust of cold wind blew out the candle.

Suddenly, due to the sudden loss of candlelight, the entire shed area fell into darkness. Before they could adapt, it seemed as if they were invisible to the young doctor, the little girl and others.

"Cough cough cough" "Cough cough."

There were only coughing sounds around, mixed with the comments of some victims, and bursts of wind.

The heat that had been felt for quite some time seemed to dissipate in a gust of wind, making people even feel a little cold.

The judgment just now and the darkness at the moment actually made the young doctor feel a sense of fear, so much so that he had an urge to escape.

Moreover, the young doctor seemed to feel that his throat was starting to feel a little itchy, and he felt like he wanted to cough. The goosebumps on his body were rising in waves, and he felt a little hesitant for a moment.

"Doctor, doctor, how is my mother? She will be fine, right?"

The little girl's voice brought the doctor out of his uneasiness, and the doctor shuddered, and then slapped himself on the face.

Hu Kuangming, you are a doctor!

"It'll be fine, but we need medicine."

Hu Kuangming said and looked around.

"We can't go on like this. It will get worse if it goes on like this. The court must intervene! It must"

Before Hu Kuangming finished speaking, a cold light flashed in front of him, and the sword blade was only three inches away from his forehead.

Huh~

There was a flash of white light, and after a "boom~" sound, a terrifying sound sounded in the ears of Hu Kuangming and the little girl.

"Oh~~~~"

The sound was so terrifying that the little girl was so frightened that she squatted down holding the storm lantern, and Hu Kuangming couldn't help but tremble.

Then the next moment, the cold feeling lessened, Hu Kuangming's uneasiness also lessened, and even the itchy feeling in his throat seemed to disappear.

Looking to the side again, it was a sword that had been nailed to the wooden pillar of the shed. The sword was still shaking slightly at this moment.

"Humph, it's quite hidden!"

A vigorous and powerful voice came from outside the shed. Hu Kuangming looked for the sound. In his sight that had adapted to the darkness at this moment, he saw a man who should have looked like an old man walking in. He reached out and pulled out the sword nailed to the pillar.

Behind this vigorous old man, there is a woman following. Although there is only a little starlight at this time, it can be seen that the woman has an outstanding figure.

"Are you a doctor?"

"Ah, yes!"

Hu Kuangming quickly responded. Looking at the smart attire, this old man must be a Jianghu man.

Qi Zhongbin looked at the doctor in front of him up and down. He was still treating patients even after dark. He should be a good doctor. Not to mention his medical skills, at least he was a good person.

"A plague may break out in Zhaozhou. You must be prepared. It is best to go together and explain the situation to Lord Zhizhou. The sooner you take action, the better. In a place like this, there may be epidemic ghosts at work to avoid losing your mind and inhaling miasma. Qi!"

Does this statement turn out to be a mage?

However, judging from the feeling just now, Hu Kuangming was inclined to think that this mage was really capable and not a deceiver, so he answered solemnly.

"I am planning to go to the government to explain the situation!"

Qi Zhongbin nodded. Master Zhizhou may still be hesitant, but if a local doctor tells him, he will believe it.

"Without further delay, you go to the Yamen now!"

"yes."

Hu Kuangming hurriedly packed the wooden box and put the books in it. The little girl stood up and returned the candle to him, asking uneasily.

"Doctor, what should my mother do? Is it because we have no money?"

"Of course not, but I can't do anything about it. The weather has changed. Be careful not to let her catch the cold. It's best to cover her."

The shed had hay and straw mats on the floor, but apart from a few stools and wooden boards, there was only a simple wooden shelf to store items. How could the fleeing people have any extra bedding?

Hu Kuangming frowned and simply put down the wooden box again, then took off his coat and gave it to the little girl.

Cover your mother and get some hay.

"Um!"

After saying this, Hu Kuangming cupped his hands towards Qi Zhongbin, turned around, picked up the wooden box, and left. When he passed by the woman, he saw her nodding towards him, which made Hu Kuangming a little embarrassed.

The little girl covered her mother with clothes at this moment, but turned her attention to Qi Zhongbin and Chen Han.

"Goodbye, your mother will get better!"

After saying this, Qi Zhongbin and Chen Han also left the drafty shack.

There is a sinister wind blowing around the shed area. It is the sinister agents of Zhaozhou City who are patrolling. It is not convenient for them to control the birth, old age, illness and death of mortals, but they must do their best to stop evil spirits from harming people.

In addition to the one Qi Zhongbin had just killed with his sword, not long after nightfall, together with Yin Zai's captures, more than a dozen plague ghosts had been eliminated.

After a while, Qi Zhongbin came to the city wall of Zhaozhou, enjoying the cool night breeze and a moment of tranquility.

"Is it that simple?"

"That's right, why not keep it simple?"

Hui Mian lay on Qi Zhongbin's shoulder and yawned, then looked at Chen Han.

"Don't you still have two friends? How are they?"

"They haven't transformed yet and are looking for a place to rest."

Oh, that's right, Hui Mian thought that those two guys must have been seriously injured.

Compared with the temporary stability here, the situation in Zhaozhou Yamen was in chaos. Zhaozhou Zhizhou Wan Shixing had always been a little hesitant.

When he learned that a doctor came to report the possibility of a major epidemic and asked for help from the government, Wan Shixing had no luck anymore. While inviting Hu Kuangming in to explain the situation, he also summoned his officials overnight to discuss countermeasures. Many doctors from the city were invited.

——

On the border between Zhaozhou and Dengzhou, in a village where most of the houses were destroyed by the flood, Yi Shuyuan and the imperial guard Jian Lu were resting in a broken house that could barely protect them from the wind and rain.

They only had three hours of rest, and then they would be on their way again.

However, Yi Shuyuan was also lighting a candle at this meeting and was writing something. Judging from the preface of the article, it was a line of conspicuous words, which said: "A letter to Sima for disaster relief."

The official position of Lingdong Road Disaster Relief Sima is not inherent. Just like the official Sima of a prefecture, it is an official promoted and appointed by an individual. After being reviewed and approved by the court, he will have powers. It may be temporary or permanent. Can survive.

In addition to the imperial examination, there is also a recommendation system for Dayong officials. This is a type of recommendation system. It is just that the recommendation system usually does not attract ordinary people.

But the current situation is not ordinary. The person who holds the post of Disaster Relief Sima is now Chu Hang.

Compared to his father, Chu Qinglin, who is a pure craftsman, Chu Hang understands both hydrological conditions and craftsmanship. He is also capable of large-scale planning and has a keen eye for detail. The key is that he is outstanding in talent and knowledge but has an overall view. At the same time, he is willing to work hard, be diligent, and be loved.

Therefore, after more than a month of disaster relief, Li Qian, who had been observing for a period of time, decisively appointed Chu Hang as Sima to assist him in his affairs and give him more authority.

Now Chu Hang really deserves to be called "Master Chu".

At this time, Yi Shuyuan was writing rapidly. The guard Jian Lu couldn't sleep after lying on the wooden bed for a while, so he sat up and walked to Yi Shuyuan to see what he was writing.

After watching it for a while, Jian Lu frowned, with a bit of surprise on his face.

A doctor is not writing about diseases. Instead, he is writing a letter of advice. The key advice is to divert canals and dig deep wells to find water. The flood has just passed.

Yi Shuyuan's article was naturally written to Chu Hang. Naturally, Li Qian would definitely read it, but in the final analysis, it was actually written to Emperor Dayong.

From a mortal perspective, it is difficult for anyone to see such a far-sighted matter. There are floods in the past that need to be controlled, and there are victims that need to be resettled in the future. And there may be a plague soon, and everyone from the court to the people is in dire straits.

But these are just short-term worries. Without foresight, the subsequent drought is likely to be severe.

The land of Lingdong has always had good weather and it is a prosperous and prosperous land. However, if we do not deal with it properly after a series of disasters, we are afraid that nine out of ten houses will be empty.

Emperor Dayong was indeed a wise king. Yi Shuyuan knew that the emperor cared more about him, so he wrote an article to remind him that although he had never thought about becoming an official, it would not make the emperor too cold.

At the same time, it was also a subtle way of giving Chu Hang a chance.

"Mr. Yi, everything is lacking here, but it can't be water, right?"

The guard couldn't help but ask. Yi Shuyuan glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

"This is wrong. From Dengzhou City to here, I observed the water conditions and veins along the way, and looked at the deep and shallow wells everywhere. I found that the water conditions were not very good. Moreover, it has been the beginning of winter since the summer, and there was a scene in Dengzhou City. It didn’t even rain. I asked people who passed through the villages and counties along the way and they all said it never rained.”

Yi Shuyuan Lingling always explained a lot, and then sighed.

"This is not a good thing!"

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, Jian Lu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. If this was really the case, the people of Lingdong would be in such misery!

It took Yi Shuyuan a quarter of an hour to finish writing the article, and the ink on it dried with a gentle blow.

Jian Lu didn't notice this. He saw Yi Shuyuan fold the book and put it into a paper envelope, and then handed it over.

"I also ask Master Jian to quickly send this letter to Dengzhou City and hand it into the hands of Master Sima. Let him read it and judge whether Yi's concerns are correct. If he feels that the content of Yi's article is important, he will discuss it with Master Li."

Yi Shuyuan also wrote the same thing in the article, but Jian Lu was hesitant after hearing it.

"Yes, but I want to escort you to Zhaozhou City!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"There is no danger in coming all the way. Yi has good hands and feet and a horse, so there is no need to escort him all the time. This letter is of great importance. Please send it to Dengzhou City as soon as possible!"

Jian Lu thought for a while and nodded. What Mr. Yi just said was not casual. It actually made sense.

"Okay! I'll leave now, sir, be careful on the road!"

"Please be careful on the road, adults!"

Jian Lu and Yi Shuyuan cupped their hands with each other. The former grabbed the clothes on the wooden board, then walked out of the shabby house, untied the reins of a horse, mounted the horse, flattered him, and ran towards Dengzhou City.

Yi Shuyuan watched the man and the horse leave without falling asleep. He raised his hand and put some of his things into his sleeves and walked outside the house. The remaining horse happened to look at him.

After the reins were untied, Yi Shuyuan did not mount the horse. Instead, he directly led the horse and rode a gust of wind, soaring directly into the air. The horse was so startled that it kept neighing and kicking its front and rear legs.
