Nanzhuang Village occupies a small area, and there is an unpleasant smell everywhere.
The government officials gathered all those suffering from the plague here, but all the famous doctors and doctors with high reputation in Jiangdu were summoned to Jiangdu City.
Placing these villagers here is tantamount to letting them fend for themselves.
When the Xiao Jiajun and officers and soldiers brought by Shangyu Chen entered the village, they knocked on doors and delivered medicine in an orderly manner.
The medicine they brought was developed by Young Master, but before coming, he had only heard about the symptoms of the plague and had not seen it with his own eyes. Whether it could save people is still unknown.
Shangyu Chen walked alone at the front, followed closely by Imperial Physician Pei, carrying a heavy black iron medicine box on his back. When he stepped through the water on the ground, the depth he stepped on was a little deeper than the others.
In addition, there were several other imperial physicians accompanying him.
Jin Lian didn't know any medical skills, so he just followed them with weapons in his arms to protect them.
Master Sun has been guiding the way ahead. He has never seen so many important people before, so his back has long been soaked in cold sweat.
As for Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi, after entering the village, they hurriedly followed the officers and soldiers to distribute the medicinal materials and then helped to cook them.
However, the villagers were obviously very resistant to the arrival of the prince and others, and the disgust in their eyes made it difficult for them to ignore it.
"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Open the door! We are not bad people, we are sent by the court to save you!"
Tang Yinchen slapped a wooden door hard, and the weeds on the roof fell straight down with his movements. Yang Huanzhi, who was suffering from a headache, quickly grabbed his arm to prevent him from destroying the already shaky thatched house.
It collapsed.
"Get out! We are not sick! No need for treatment! Get out of Nanzhuang Village! Our village does not accept outsiders! None of the court lackeys are good!"
An angry voice came from inside.
The people in the village were too resistant to them. In the door that Tang Yinchen and the others faced, except for the dark old face that appeared at the beginning, the old woman actually refused to come out.
For some unknown reason, Yang Huanzhi bowed his hands in front of the wooden door and said warmly, "Mother-in-law, you may be worried too much. I came to Jiangdu with His Highness the Crown Prince to help His Highness prepare an antidote as soon as possible and save the people. You are angry and refuse to cooperate.
What you are disregarding is your own lives."
Before the old woman in that room made a sound, another angry voice came from another dilapidated farmhouse nearby, "Ignore? We don't have the plague at all! It's all the fault of those in Jiangdu Prefecture who were stabbed a thousand times.
Yes! In order to defraud the court of disaster relief funds, they lied to the outside world that we people were suffering from the plague! They also locked us up and left us to fend for ourselves! The fields are gone, the crops are gone, and those beasts are going to starve us to death!
"
Although the man's voice was full of reluctance and half-crying, it sounded full of vitality and did not look like a dying person after suffering from the plague.
Ever since I stepped into Liting Town, strange and strange things have always happened one after another.
"..."
When Tang Yinchen heard this, he looked at the thick gray smoke still rising in the back mountain in surprise. He naturally put his right hand on Yang Huanzhi's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? It's been more than half a month since the plague broke out in Jiangdu, but it doesn't seem like it's gone.
It’s so right!”
Yang Huanzhi looked around and said, "I remember listening to Master Sun that this plague is different from the past. The initial symptoms of the people are just fever and cough, but later they will become crazy, insane, and even talk nonsense. No matter what medicine is used, it can be cured
No, people will die in three days."
Tang Yinchen scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, "That's not true. But I still feel weird. The skin color on the mother-in-law's face just now was darker than black coal, and it didn't look like black coal at all.
Like the color that ordinary people should have."
Yang Huanzhi looked at other houses that seemed to be like this, frowned, and then stepped forward and gently knocked on the door twice, "Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, you open the door first. If you have anything to say, you can say it to His Royal Highness,
He will definitely make the decision for you!"
"Get out! Get out of here, all of you!"
There was a crackling sound coming from the house, as if something had been broken. Tang Yinchen and Yang Huanzhi looked at each other and quickly kicked the door open. When they hurriedly entered the house, they looked around the short and simple farmhouse.
It's clear inside.
There are a few kitchen utensils scattered on the wall, but there are many scratches and chips on them, so they must be old.
The large kang on the left is covered with a mat woven from sorghum straw, and a low wooden table is placed in the center of the kang. An old woman in cloth is lying on the ground. Her clothes are layered with patches and her hair is silvery white.
, the gray eyes are cloudy and unclear.
What surprised everyone was that her exposed skin looked even darker under the light of the torches in their hands, like...a charred corpse?!
However, when she saw them, her skin color quickly turned red.
"Wow! Ghost... ghost? No, no, no! Monsters and monsters! Lao Yang! Protect me!"
Tang Yinchen shouted exaggeratedly and jumped behind Yang Huanzhi.
Yang Huanzhi listened speechlessly as he muttered something behind his back. When he listened carefully, he found out that it was an exorcism spell.
He suddenly took a step forward. Tang Yinchen followed his steps and staggered forward, almost falling.
Tang Yinchen wanted to grab Yang Huanzhi's arm, but he missed it. He tightened his grip on the folding umbrella 'Zhushuang' in his hand. If the old woman dared to do anything unusual, he was afraid that he would really take action.
"Hey, hey? Lao Yang? Don't go there! What if she can eat people? Maybe this plague is really contagious. If you become like this, we won't be able to save you for the time being!"
Listening to his chattering behind him, Yang Huanzhi really stopped walking.
The old woman held on to the edge of the kang and stood up crookedly. There was a shovel standing in the corner. She stumbled and took two steps towards it. She grabbed the shovel and was about to rush towards them.
Yang Huanzhi is just a weak scholar, and he usually only relies on a few or two moves to protect himself.
Seeing that the shovel was about to fall on his head, Tang Yinchen immediately pressed the frost-immersing mechanism. There was a 'click', an icy cold light flashed, and the frost-immersed flew out of his hand and hit the old woman's hand steadily.
The shovel returned to his hand.
On the opposite side, there was a "snap" sound, and the shovel broke into two halves and fell to the ground.
Tang Yinchen took two steps forward, held Yang Huanzhi's shoulders, and pulled him away from the front. When the old woman rushed towards her again, he raised his feet and moved towards her again.
Although he restrained his kick, the person facing him was an old woman with a weak body, so this kick would most likely kill her.
Tang Yinchen suddenly felt guilty and stuttered, "That... that... I didn't mean it, I just didn't react for the moment! Mother-in-law, are you okay?" This chapter has been completed!
