The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind, I Drank Milk and Ate Melons

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly passed from behind the team. The guard immediately became alert: "Who?"

An Yan's figure swept out of the car very quickly and landed on the roof of the car. Look around alertly. No suspicious person was found.

"It's probably a wild beast, don't be afraid, I'm very powerful, sir?"

 Drowsiness came over her, and Ji Hua couldn't bear it and fell asleep in Mrs. Ji's arms.

There was silence for a long time, and no more movement was seen before the team continued to move forward. Arriving at the only house in the village that has not moved out.

 It is a dilapidated thatched house.

The old man who was chopping firewood in the courtyard was a little surprised to see so many noble people coming all at once. The volume was increased, as if to remind the people in the room, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiuhe took a step forward and said enthusiastically: "We are businessmen passing by. We can't enter the city because the city gate is closed for some reason. Would you like to stay with me for a few nights?"

 This is what we discussed when we arrived.

The old man squinted at Xiu He and the two guards riding on the tall horses with a pair of old eyes. He seemed to be frightened and took two steps back unsteadily.

He raised his voice and called his wife, who was busy in the room, and whispered a few words.

The old woman's eyesight seemed not to be very good. She looked closely at Xiu He for a long time before saying, "You can borrow her, but the room is not enough. You may have to live in a carriage."

"It's okay, it's okay, just stay with my wife. It doesn't matter if we don't."

Xiuhe happily turned around and helped Mrs. Ji out of the carriage. As the sky grew dark, a group of people took care of Mrs. Ji and entered the house.

“Madam, fortunately there is still one family in the village, otherwise, we would have to sleep in the wilderness.”

“Well, I’ll tell my servants to be polite to these two old people.”

"yes."

The servants used the kitchen after obtaining the consent of the old couple. Mrs. Ji signaled Xiuhe to bring out the money. He handed it to the old woman's hand in person and said with great gratitude: "Old lady, I'm really sorry for disturbing you. Please accept this."

The old woman did not refuse, accepted the money, and said: "Use the water as you like, the food may not be enough."

“Don’t worry, old lady, we have brought our own food.” Xiuhe said to the old lady who was groping in the house while packing her things.

 An Yan had a panoramic view of the old woman accepting the money naturally.

People were busy in an orderly manner, An Yan looked back and forth, and finally sat on the eaves with his legs crossed. Ji Yushu stared at the furnishings in the house and chatted with the old couple from time to time: "Grandma, where have the other people in the village moved to?"

 “All dead.”

Hearing this, everyone looked over in surprise.

 “How did you die?” An Yan seemed to be particularly curious about this matter. He moved the stool and sat next to the old man again.

He frowned as soon as he sat down. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he actually smelled the smell of blood from the old man's body. It was very light. If he hadn't been licking the blood from the knife edge all the time, he wouldn't have been able to smell it.

Ji Yushu’s eyes fell on a **** in the main hall of the house. The old man's heavy words came to my ears: "He was bitten to death by a beast on Mount Wei. A year ago, the beast on Mount Wei suddenly went crazy for unknown reasons, and then rushed down the mountain and bit the people in the village to death. Even the children were not spared. ”

“At that time, my wife and I went to our eldest son’s house, so we escaped.”

 Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

“No wonder you can see white bones at the entrance of the village.”

 “Where does your eldest son live?” An Yan asked again as if he was trying to get information.

 “Jizhou City.” After the old man finished speaking, he shook the long cigarette rod in his hand.

“Then why don’t you two elders follow us, so that we won’t be afraid that the beasts on Mount Wei will go crazy again?” This was what Ji Yushu asked.

The old man didn't say anything. The old lady found her way to sit down next to Mrs. Ji, and then said, "The eldest daughter-in-law won't let me, because she dislikes us being a burden in our old age."

"How can we do that? Filial piety comes first, which is so unreasonable." Xiuhe looked angry.

Ji Hua was sleeping deeply at this time and had no idea what the others were talking about.

Mrs. Ji was worried about letting her sleep alone in the back room, so she kept holding her in her arms.

The house is not spacious, and the oil lamp is dim and cannot be seen clearly. The flickering candles may be extinguished at any time. It was dark outside the house, giving people an eerie feeling. In addition, the village was not very popular, and Mrs. Ji couldn't help but feel panicked.

Turning her head, she saw the old lady sitting next to her. What surprised her was that the old lady had a faint fragrance on her body. Like a medicinal fragrance.

 Many elderly people in the village will know some herbal medicines. They can pick herbal medicines to deal with minor illnesses. Only when they are seriously ill will they go to the city for treatment. So, it’s not surprising that it smells like herbs.

 After sitting for a while, the servants prepared simple food. After one person had a small meal, he went to bed separately. A guard and maid were left to keep vigil all night.

  After all, there are lessons learned from wild beasts going crazy.

Ji Yushu and An Yan were not asleep. They were staring at each other in the carriage. An Yan hoped that Ji Yushu would fall asleep quickly so that he could secretly run away with the little monster in his arms. As a result, this guy guarded him like a thief.

An Yan: "Why don't you sleep?"

Ji Yushu ignored him.

 An Yan: “Don’t trust me?”

Ji Yushu still ignored him.

An Yan: “Are you afraid that I will steal Sister Hua’er?”

Ji Yushu gave him a meaningful look this time and let him understand it by himself.

   Dark Yan:.

 The situation is not going well for Marquis Ji and Imperial Physician Mu.

After separating from Mrs. Ji, the group set off towards Jizhou City. By the time we arrived, it was getting dark. But the city gate was filled with flames.

 The people shouted: "Open the city gate, open the city gate."

A young general hurried up to the city tower and reported: "General Chen, make up your mind quickly. If this continues, the city gate will be broken."

After hearing this, the general next to him was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He actually felt that this situation was more terrifying than the army pressing down on the situation.

“Have you, Lord Zhizhou, reported this matter?”

 “It has already been reported to the superior. But now.”

“Okay, okay, keep shouting.” We had no choice but to have people continue shouting to appease the people, even if the effect was minimal, they still had to shout.

“Fathers and fellow villagers, please be patient. Lord Zhizhou has sent someone to report to Heaven, and he will soon send an imperial doctor to treat everyone. Please wait patiently, fellow villagers.”

There are already enough patients in the city. Before an effective prescription is developed, it is meaningless to let people in. Instead, it will cause civil strife.

The civil unrest more than 20 years ago resulted in nearly 10,000 casualties. He really didn’t want to repeat the tragedy of that year.

Under the city tower, more and more people became irritable and angrily smashed the door with torches. The splashing flames ignited the dry grass nearby. People who did not escape in time directly caught fire.

 Screams came and went.

 In the end, a stampede occurred, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

 Seeing such a scene, I suddenly had the illusion that the civil strife of that year was reappearing.

Ji Xiaoshan was angry and flew up. He fell straight onto the top of the carriage in the center of the arena. He shouted to the officers and soldiers on the city tower: "Let Chen Changnian open the city gate quickly. I have a prescription for treating this epidemic."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Someone exclaimed: "Do you have a trick on your body? Are you really the Marquis?"

“My surname is Ji, and I am Ji Xiaoshan, who came to Jizhou to suppress bandits twenty-two years ago by the emperor’s order.”

 Some people who didn't believe it directly picked up their torches and threw them at Ji Xiaoshan, while others threw stones.

Ji Xiaoshan just turned away slightly and said angrily: "It is a serious crime to pretend to be the prince of the court. Do you think that my life is too long, so I came here to risk my life for you? How serious is this epidemic, you guys Do you know?" He was angry, but he still cared about the lives of the people.

“It’s General Ji, it’s really General Ji.” After the survivors recognized Ji Xiaoshan, they shouted in surprise.

“General Ji is here to save us. General Ji is not afraid of being infected by the disease and is willing to risk his own life to save us.” (End of this chapter)
