If we talk about the Lingdong Road in the past, there may have been a situation where each state cared about the state. Then in the Lingdong Road after the disaster, not only Dengzhou, Zhaozhou, and Yunzhou, but also the other states are quite united.

The Zhaozhou plague not only made many people panic, but also made people worried.

The phrase "save hometown" can reflect the mood of this group of Dengzhou men. Saving Zhaozhou means saving themselves, saving Lingdong, and saving their hometown.

Moreover, although there were some nasties in the court and the people after the disaster, although it is impossible to cover everything, it was just as Chu Hang wrote in the article late at night.

Faith is the most important thing in times of disaster!

Whether it is instigated by the government or self-perceived by the people, there are both human struggles and mythical wonders, all of which represent the struggle of Lingdong.

Now all the people in Lingdong are confident to overcome the difficulties, which is also the confidence that Chu Hang can say that "man can conquer nature".

The dry food brought by the "trackers" was all eaten up, but along the way, officials and even people from the county kept coming to help them, either bringing food or tea, and some even directly joined the team to help the trackers, leaving some people who were not physically exhausted. Able to rest.

Before the fleet reached Zhaozhou, more people in Zhaozhou came after hearing the news, and the magistrate and county lieutenant of Tianyu County in Zhaozhou even came in person.

So much so that Chu Hang had to come forward to persuade some people to go back. After all, there were too many people and the two sides of the river could not move. Many Dengzhou men who were far away from home were also persuaded to go back, and then more and more Zhaozhou people take their place.

There was a faint sound of coughing in the guest rooms inside the inn. Tan Yuanshang walked down the corridor and opened a door. What came out was the smell of myrrh, but not a faint odor. Even if the window outside was open, it could not be eliminated. .

There was a burst of mud rolling on the bottom of the boat, and the sound of bubbles could not be heard. This meant that it had been dragged out of the shoal again. There was deep water for 70 meters behind, and it was impossible to reach Zhaozhou City directly.

"Go, go, try harder!"

For four days and five nights, eleven small merchant ships loaded with cargo that had been stranded outside Dengzhou were carried to Zhaozhou on the shoulders of Lingdong elders.

"Drag it out—drag it out—"

When the first boat was also pulled out, cheers were not heard on both sides of the river. It was as if a small battle had been won. The boatmen in the fleet also cheered together, and everyone was infected by the crowd's emotions.

"Cough cough cough... bah"

Tan Yuanshang looked at the medicinal materials temporarily piled under the dock and nodded slightly.

"Oh, Wan Xiaoren, Yi Shuyuan is so rude!" "This way, under the river!"

One bowl in the morning and one bowl in the evening for eight days, and those who were off the boat before can no longer get on the boat.

"Then he is being vague. Decades later, the late emperor did consecrate several heavenly masters. Although there are few sorcerers who deceive and deceive, those few should not have any ability."

The crowd became commotion and looked into the distance with an increasingly excited mood. These small merchant ships brought hope of continuation of life.

Moreover, Yi Shuyuan may not ask the court for money for the eleven ships of life-saving cargo, or there is a small chance that they will be given as gifts.

In the early morning eight days ago, Yi Shuyuan went to the city early to find Tan Yuanshang and followed me all the time. I would go wherever Tan Yuanshang went.

Zhaozhou Zhizhou on the side paused in his steps and his heart skipped a beat. The bad guy, I thought he was just a young man with poor medical skills, but he thought he was a hermit.

As the ship came quickly, Yi Shuyuan searched for the crowd under the pier under the deck of the first boat. He soon found Tan Yuanshang, and he breathed a sigh of relief again.

Yi Shuyuan felt that before that incident was over, I must retreat from the palace to face the Holy Spirit when I return to the capital. Such a person is just a Sima promoted temporarily by Li Qian. That is so unreasonable!

Gao Rongqiu glanced at the guard beside him. For seven days and seven nights, he never closed his eyes!

Tan Yuanshang returned the favor to Gao Rongqiu.

Yi Shuyuan, who frowned slightly after hearing Gao Rongqiu's words, turned to Zhizhou and saluted.

The ships are smaller than people imagined, and the number of eleven ships seems to stretch for a very long time. It makes you imagine how much cargo is loaded there!

On the side, Zhizhou Zhizhou of Zhaozhou hurriedly spoke.

They were all serious cases, and no one got significantly worse after the treatment.

As people loaded sack after sack of medicinal materials onto the boat, bursts of scent of medicinal herbs filled the entire dock and gradually extended into the city.

In Zhaozhou City, the news that the fleet is about to arrive has spread throughout the city before the boat arrives. Everyone knows that as soon as the fleet arrives, there will no longer be a shortage of medicinal materials!

Just by taking a whiff, Gao Rongqiu understood that a very small number of those medicinal materials were by no means fake.

"Slow down and help the person in front!"

One by one, the small boats had escaped from the first shallow water channel, formed a fleet again, and reached the deep water area of ​​​​Xiaotong River.

Others cannot take a break, but there is someone who can take a break for that little Sima man. In my own words, no, something could happen to me just a moment away.

Tan Yuanshang and the patient were communicating with the patient outside, but Yi Shuyuan noticed that there was a charm posted under the door frame in the room.

"Mr. Yi, if we don't have so few medicines, we should be able to cure the epidemic, right?"

A white belly appeared on the horizon, and the light of dawn gradually illuminated the small land.

"Hey yo~hey yo~hey yo..."

"Sir, we Xiaoyong don't have the kind of saying that we are a heavenly master?"

It was really not a day and night journey in those days, no one was replacing me, no one was following me, and the ship stopped almost all the time.

"How are you? How do you feel?"

When I stepped back into a small requisitioned inn, there was a strong smell of medicine.

And as the team grew, it started towing one boat at the end, then two boats at the front, and all eight boats were towed together, staggered behind and in front, and out of order before!

Of course, the eleven small boats were all loaded with medicine, but they were definitely in the minority.

Suddenly, no one shouted.

The fleet is still going back, and there are not many people on both sides of the strait following.

Yi Shuyuan and the accompanying guards consciously covered their mouths and noses and stood in the door without retreating.

Under the riverside pier in the city, a small number of people had not yet gathered. They were all looking towards the river in anticipation. "I heard that the one who came to report first was a Celestial Master Xiaoyong?"

Zhaozhou Zhizhou's fat chin was so excited that he couldn't stop shaking, and he couldn't help but keep shouting "bad".

In the current situation where Xiaoyong medicinal materials are very useful, God knows what methods Yi Shuyuan used and what price he paid to obtain so few life-saving things.

The boatmen below the boat were all very tired, but we knew we had no right to complain about being tired.

It was another sleepless night, not only because the chanting was intermittent, but also because Yi Shuyuan became increasingly excited, because judging from the terrain, Zhaozhou City was about to arrive.

The traces under the talisman didn't seem to be scrawled, but there were only a few words with a few circles of red ink in the middle, so it could be distinguished. There was no vague words like "The True Lord Revealed the Holy One".

These top scholars and top eight scholars all write gorgeous and beautiful articles, but which one can shoulder the burden and be worthy of such a thing?

Yi Shuyuan had not returned to the boat a long time ago. I also went up and tried to help him slim down, but it didn't take long for blisters to appear on his delicate palms.

Gao Rongqiu and the people in the fleet were not able to retreat into Zhaozhou City immediately.

After dawn, lanterns were hung under the eleven small boats, and there was not a long line of lights following along the coast. The sound of chants above continued one after another.

"Oh... you feel less comfortable there, Mr. Yi, you still feel less comfortable. Not only do you have a cough, but you are also less energetic than you were in the past few days."

"Click la la la..."

"Cough cough cough..." "Cough cough..."

It was the darkest moment after dawn. Yi Shuyuan looked at the rear of the long team of trackers, as if he could see the Lingdong disaster relief commander.

"It can save very few people!"

At this moment, Tan Yuanshang also came out. He seemed to have heard what was said inside and said something with a smile.

Zhaozhou Zhizhou and Tan Yuanshang were at the back of the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion at the pier where at least a thousand people were descending.

"The minor disaster in Lingdong was a battle. To a certain extent, it gradually united Xiaoyong's scattered hearts. No one praised or criticized it, but everyone in the world saw the court's determination to provide disaster relief."

"Well, how about sleeping tonight?"

Just thinking that those dozens of small boats were carrying life-saving things, and just thinking of such a huge number, no one seemed to have exhausted all their strength. The more the boat sank, the more excited people became!

"Hey yo~hey yo~hey yo..."

Everyone in the entire Zhaozhou City is full of confidence now, and confidence is also a weak weapon against illness!

Yi Shuyuan dared to come to Zhaozhou City in person, and Tan Yuanshang had less admiration for me. After all, Yi Shuyuan was truly wealthy and invincible, and it was necessary to take risks with his own life.

The advice of Gao Rongqiu and local officials was to stay under the boat for eight days, and during those eight days, everyone should drink the "disease-curing screen soup" prepared with newly obtained medicinal materials.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Tan. Yi was just a storyteller, he knew some medical skills, and he just helped out during minor disasters. Now it's more important to save people!"

Gao Rongqiu let out a long breath.

"It's coming, it's really coming!"

The patient outside was an eight-year-old man. The others were still lying down and could not answer. The person who was asked did not speak immediately, but coughed for a while and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm out of the spittoon.

Chu Hang was at the back of the team, shouting in a hoarse voice, "I hadn't lost my rope yet, and there were already blood marks on my shoulders."

Yi Shuyuan sighed with emotion when he saw Tan Yuanshang staring at the sack of medicinal materials passing by.

"Listen to Mr. Chu, you're too slow, work harder -" "Puff puff puff..."

"What you said is true!"

"Mr. Yi, as soon as we saw that Mr. Yi was ill, Tan became worried! His Majesty has been thinking about you. You are finally willing to come out!"

"There is no time, there is nothing that the imperial court can do, and businessmen naturally have no way to do it. There are still very few people who do not have the desire to serve the country, but it is convenient and too dare to contact the government directly. Very few people have the desire to serve the country once it is over.

No, so I hoarded some things, but gradually I started to regret it, and those people would come to you privately!"

"It's too bad, it's too bad! Zhaozhou City can't be saved!" Amidst the creaking of ropes and timbers, the ship's hull shook slightly.
