Chapter 101: Who is the ninety-year-old man crying for?
There is no doubt that Lao Li Tou is a qualified hidden child.
I have been selling pies in Jiacheng for several years. The pies are really good, no worse than those time-honored restaurants.
Over the years, he has kept his integrity and made good friends with his neighbors.
I only occasionally go back to my "home" in Yuecheng. Calling it home is just one of the tricks used to deceive people.
Anyone who investigates him will get a mess. No matter how smart the person is, he will have to put in a lot of effort.
He lived a normal life on weekdays, and he only did things when Hu Shaomeng came to him.
After seeing the world of extraordinary monks, what is a little worldly gold and silver?
This time, he contacted the extraordinary monks in Tianxialou and hired someone to assassinate another extraordinary monk. Just thinking about it made his old body boil with blood.
Fleeing abroad, he stopped in a small town on the border of Rong State.
He had long been prepared to flee, but unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was the news that he could return to his country. No one came to track him down. His carefully designed escape method became empty talk, and no one cared about the path he painstakingly chose.
I was ready to die calmly, but the ending I was waiting for did not come.
He even imagined many times that he would use the rest of his life to perform in front of an angry extraordinary monk. He would trick the extraordinary monk and lead him in the wrong direction...
It's always a good thing if you can survive.
He went around in circles and finally returned to the country.
Since I couldn't go back to Jiacheng, I simply rested in Yuecheng.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of money to work for Mr. Chaofan. The mother-in-law in the "home" is not good-looking, but fortunately she is sensible and considerate.
The days were the same as usual. Hu Shaomeng didn't contact him, so he planned to live like this. It was no different from opening a pie shop in Jiacheng, it was just ordinary day after day.
I found out I was sick three days ago.
At first I thought it would be over after a while, but I didn't expect that my body was getting weaker and weaker.
He originally thought that he was not afraid of death because of his old bones.
How can you be afraid of death if you dare to participate in beheading?
But for some reason, I looked at that ugly woman who was just married as a cover, and saw the snot and tears running down her ugly face.
He... suddenly became afraid.
He took out a box of gold leaves from the secret compartment under the bed, smashed them all on the ground, and asked his mother-in-law to ask for a doctor, the best doctor!
Money can make the world go round.
Old doctor Qin came. He was probably too old to feel his pulse because his eyes were dim.
Looked and looked, observed and observed.
In the end, he even took off his clothes, and after looking at it, he fell to the ground!
He got up and left the door immediately without taking a single gold leaf.
Old Li Tou knew that he was finished. There was no way he could be saved.
But fortunately, fortunately, some gold and silver were left behind.
Money is an extraneous thing, which may not be taken with you during life or death, but in the end it is enough for this ugly and kind-hearted woman to live a good life.
It's just a pity that I can't continue to work for that powerful extraordinary master.
For the rest of my life, I can only get a little closer to the extraordinary world in this way...
At this time, Old Li Tou did not know that Hu Shaomeng, who was like a god and demon in his heart, had been killed.
He has his own old worries.
He closed his eyes on the bed with some exhaustion, not knowing what impact his death would have on this land and this world.
And his ugly half-deaf woman didn't even touch the gold and silver.
I just held his body that was getting colder and started crying in an unpleasant way.
…
But the neighbor who was carrying a gift when he went out turned his head and saw the white flag hanging in front of Li's house.
The two teams of armored soldiers guarding the door also frightened him.
Adulterer**? Seeking wealth and killing?
A lot of random thoughts went through his mind, and he turned around to go back to the door.
"Stop! What are you doing!" the soldier shouted loudly, but did not come close.
"Master." The man walked forward and wanted to get closer to explain. However, he was startled by the soldier who suddenly drew his sword.
"Just stand there, don't come near!"
"Yes, yes, I won't come close." He turned pale with fright, and quickly explained: "I heard that Lao Litou is sick. As a neighbor, I want to buy some gifts to see him. What happened at his home?
I don’t know, Master Jun!”
The soldier asked: "You have a good relationship with this family? Do you usually move around?"
"There has never been a chance. He has never been home. He finally came back recently. As the saying goes, 'a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor', so I just wanted to move around."
The soldier turned back and looked at each other with Pao Ze, then turned around and yelled: "Go back to your room, you are not allowed to go out these days!"
The man didn't dare to say anything more and ran back into the room with his head raised.
Only filled with doubts and a lingering haze.
…
It is the largest and most famous medical clinic in the west of Yuecheng City.
It's a gloomy moment.
All the apprentices were kicked out of the backyard, leaving only Dr. Qin sitting alone in the courtyard.
When the disciples talked to him, they could only shout from a distance across half the courtyard.
The city lord of Yue City was standing at the door at this time.
Mr. Qin is over ninety years old this year, but his body is still strong and his words are still full of energy.
But for some reason, the disciples blocking the door all had red and swollen eyes.
"The patient had chills, high fever, reported headache, fatigue, body aches, and nausea and vomiting. I took off my clothes for an examination and found ecchymosis and bleeding on the skin..."
Mr. Qin said: "There are lumps, pus, and ulcers on the body. From onset to death...it only takes three days!"
"No doubt it's the plague, the most terrifying of all plagues!"
The Lord of Yue City stood at the door and asked with a deep face: "Is there a way to cure it? How to avoid infection?"
Mr. Qin said sadly: "Once you get sick, there is no cure, you can only wait to die! The only way to avoid infection is to block the entire street, trap all people who have been in contact with the infected person, isolate the inside and outside, and prevent the spread of the disease."
Contact with others. I don’t know if I have been infected, so I can only imprison myself here to see what fate God has arranged for me!”
"City Lord, this matter must not be concealed. The highest level of vigilance must be aroused. The entire city must be under martial law immediately and put into a state of combat readiness. No one is allowed to go out. Extraordinary power must be mobilized to take care of daily necessities. Only extraordinary monks can
It is possible to survive the plague infection. At the same time, contact the court. In this disaster, we cannot cope alone and must seek the support of the court!
We currently don’t know the source of the epidemic, nor where that old man Li Tou has been. We must mobilize the whole country to deal with it. We even need the help of the sovereign state!
And we can only wait. Wait for the plague-stricken person to die on his own, and then burn the body! We will have to be locked up for at least a month before we can resume our lives!"
"Old Qin." The city lord of Yue City couldn't help but said: "Isn't it like this? I have ordered the streets where the infected people are to be blocked off, so that no one can come into contact with them. This is just one case, what can we do if we don't see it... Why bother to cause the whole area to be affected?
Where’s the panic?”
"When a rat is found, there must be a nest of rats! Once a case of plague occurs, there are at least five cases lurking!" Mr. Qin said earnestly: "Lord, city lord, you must be on guard against the slightest signs of disease. You must know that a dike thousands of miles away can be destroyed by an ant nest.
Ah! Besides, is this just a slight gradual change? Some people have already gotten sick, and the plague has spread! This is a tsunami and landslide!"
The Lord of Yue City was silent for a long time: "I know it well. Mr. Qin rests in peace. You may not be infected. You will still need to work hard to prevent and treat it in the future."
Without waiting for Mr. Qin to say anything else, the Lord of Yuecheng left with his guards.
Mr. Qin was sitting alone in the courtyard and suddenly burst into tears.
