By the deserted river, the leader said without hesitation.
"Confirm what?"
Obviously, Xia Shang didn't quite understand.
"Confirmed to be a plague."
"This...this kind of thing cannot be confirmed casually."
"Just half an hour ago, I caught a victim. I learned from them that a plague broke out in the Huangzhou area. Many people died. Because they didn't want to make it public, the victims said it was famine."
Xia Shang's heart sank. Even though all this was similar to what he had guessed, when he actually received the news, he still felt strong uneasiness in his heart.
Xia Shang didn't say anything, and the team leader suddenly said: "I have decided that we will set off secretly before dawn."
"Set off secretly? Do you mean to leave these patients behind?"
"Is there any other way? Leaving them behind will only harm more people. This is not an ordinary disease, it is a plague! One bad move will kill everyone."
"But it has not been confirmed among these patients. Maybe most of them have common symptoms."
"How can you control so much now? Doctor Xia, the person I admire most in this team is you. I know that you are a cultured and knowledgeable person, so I came here to inform you. You can clean up now and hurry up.
Set off with me."
The team leader spoke very anxiously and obviously didn't want to stay any longer.
But Xia Shang was very calm and didn't express anything.
"Dr. Xia, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and clean up!"
Xia Shang paused and shook his head calmly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the team leader this time. I want to stay."
"Stay? Could it be..." Halfway through the words, the team leader stopped talking. Looking at Xia Shang's calm and indifferent expression under the moonlight, a feeling of awe came to his heart. The team leader held up his hand and expressed deep gratitude to Xia Shang.
Bow deeply.
"I'm not as great as you think, just because one of the two girls traveling with me is also sick. No matter what, I can't leave. I can also understand you. It's right for you to leave at this time.
s Choice."
The leader wanted to say something else. He prepared to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't. In the end, he could only sigh heavily: "Hey!"
With a sigh, the leader left without looking back.
Xia Shang returned to the tent and lay down to sleep as if nothing had happened.
But his heart was not as calm as his face showed, and the situation was much more serious than he expected.
If the team leader left with the others, wouldn't the remaining patients fall on his shoulders alone?
We can only take one step at a time.
Next, Xia Shang did not fall asleep. He closed his eyes, and the memories of his previous life kept reappearing in his mind. He searched for records of ancient plagues in the complicated books he had read.
But Xia Shang hadn't thought about the past for too long, and his memories of his previous life seemed to be getting more and more blurred. In a daze, he almost forgot where he came from.
When my thoughts were wandering, I vaguely heard the sound of the caravan setting off outside.
Wait until dawn, I believe a lot of things will happen in the team.
At this moment, Xian'er suddenly rushed into the tent: "Young Master!"
Xia Shang immediately sat up and made a silent gesture.
Xian'er looked at Min Xiner, who was sleeping soundly, and lowered her voice: "Sir, the caravan has left!"
Xia Shang nodded: "I know that."
"Then what do we do?"
"No need to do anything, just stay, that's all."
"But……"
"It has been confirmed that this is the plague. The team leader has his own choice, and everyone has their own choice. My choice is to stay. Although it is a bit selfish, Xianer, you have to take risks with me. But
This will at least give me peace of mind."
Xian'er understood and calmed down her nervous expression: "It's enough that Xian'er can be with the young master. Regardless of life or death, everything else is important."
Xia Shang nodded.
Xian'er sat directly next to Xia Shang: "Then at this time, the young master will not let me stay here, right?"
Xia Shang did not stop him, but gently hugged Xian'er's waist.
The two of them were silent, enjoying the passage of time.
"Dr. Xia...Dr. Xia..."
Not long after, a strange voice came from outside the tent.
Xia Shang and Xian'er were both a little surprised, wondering if someone had discovered the movement of the caravan?
If the caravan leaves and is discovered by the patients, there will definitely be a big conflict, which is definitely not a good thing.
Xia Shang and Xian'er looked at each other and left the tent together.
At this moment, the sky was already getting slightly brighter, and Xia Shang found that standing in front of him was a slightly familiar young man, wearing the uniform uniform of a caravan.
Xia Shang thought for a while and then remembered that this person was a member of the caravan.
I only know that he is a member of the caravan, and I can't even call him by name.
"Who are you?"
“Dr.
Xia Shang was greatly puzzled: "Didn't all your caravan leave? Why are you still here?"
"Before we left, the team leader told us that someone in the team has the plague, and those who are not sick must leave as soon as possible to avoid being infected."
Xia Shang nodded.
"The team leader also said that Dr. Xia refused to leave and insisted on staying to save people. But Dr. Xia was alone. If you are willing to stay, you can help Dr. Xia. Then, I stayed
.”
Bian Rong spoke very simply, and there was even a hint of naivety in his words, smiling as if he didn't seem to care.
Xia Shang frowned: "Brother Bian Rong, do you know what the plague is? Do you know what it means for you to stay now?"
“Dr.
You have some ability, don't you? Well...anyway, what I mean is that if Doctor Xia has any orders, just tell him, and I, Bian Rong, will never be vague."
Bian Rong's words made Xia Shang slightly moved. He nodded and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Since you are voluntary, then stay. Now rest for a while. When the caravan has gone far, we will tell the rest of the story.
The people below."
Bian Rong didn't tell lies. He really didn't care about life and death. Instead of being afraid, he was very excited. He was slightly older than Xia Shang, but he always regarded himself as a villain. Xia Shang asked him to change his story many times, but he always couldn't.
, after a long time, Xia Shang followed him.
Bian Rong talked a lot, and kept telling Xia Shang about his experiences outside the tent.
Bian Rong was abandoned by his parents when he was a child. He worked as a beggar when he was a child. Later, he happened to meet the owner of this caravan. He was discovered by the owner because of an arithmetic problem. He thought Bian Rong was very smart and gave him a job. In this way, he earned more than ten
Year.
Bian Rong said that he has a great ability, that is, he can know the results just by looking at the accounts.
Xia Shang was still a little proud after saying that. He had nothing to do and decided to give him a test. (To be continued)
