There was some wood piled up at the door of this wooden house, which should be a logging house outside the city, engaged in some basic production work. Xiao Kaitian Shenyuan turned around the wooden house and frowned slightly.
There are obviously people inside, but judging from the perceived situation, it seems that it has reached the end of life, and it is not clear what has happened yet.
The three of them made a sound when they walked around, alarming a small group of animals in front of them, and quickly fled one by one. Bai Kou habitually pulled Zhao Qixi behind him: "It's a mouse."
Under the moonlight, the three of them were at the level of the master and their eyesight was much higher than that of ordinary people. Xiao Kaitian reached out to block the two of them: "You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look."
The door of the logging house was closed in vain. Xiao Kaitian protected himself with the divine source. With a light push, the door opened with a "rattle" sound, and he stepped into the room.
The whole room was filled with a stinking smell, and all kinds of strange smells were mixed together, and it was hard to tell the difference. Xiao Kaitian's fingers flicked and a candle in front lit up.
"Who..." A man moaned on a shabby wooden bed in the house. He tried hard to move his body and wanted to sit up, but he could do nothing.
This is a man of Western descent. He is burly and thick, with a beard on his face. His clothes are a little worn. He is lying straight on the bed. It makes people look at him. There are black marks on many parts of his body.
Blood is still overflowing from the place.
There were still mice moving back and forth in the bed where he was lying. When he saw Xiao Kaitian coming in, he just stopped moving and turned around and stared at Xiao Kaitian, not afraid at all.
The whole picture was full of weirdness. Xiao Kaitian's divine source turned and the pressure penetrated the entire room. The mice immediately rushed to flock.
"Who..." The man on the bed still made an intermittent sound, making his last struggle.
Although he knew that he could not get the answer, Xiao Kaitian still asked: "What happened."
Waiting for him was a brief silence. The man on the bed raised his right hand and could see clearly that the ends of his fingers were bloody. It was the result of being bitten by a mouse. His whole arm was covered with dark spots. He struggled to squeeze out a sentence.
Words: "Death... is coming..."
This sentence seemed to have exhausted his last strength, and he stayed with his right hand for a while, and finally he hung weakly, and he stopped breathing.
The wind and snow flowed in at the gate, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop as the person died. Xiao Kaitian Shenyuan turned around the man's body. After the situation became clear, he waved his hand to extinguish the candle and retreated.
.
"The person inside is dead," Bai Kou also knew the situation: "What happened."
"It's the plague," Xiao Kaitian took the door casually: "There is probably a serious plague in the city. This disease is extremely contagious, and with the medicine of this era, there is no way to overcome it."
Before the Enlightenment Age, human civilization was still very backward, and there was basically no big progress in medicine. Many sick people used the church's holy water or spiritual beliefs for treatment.
Especially during the Middle Ages, the social and political structure of the integration of politics and religion on the Western continent required the absolute status of religious beliefs to the greatest extent. Faced with the extremely contagious plague, everyone was worried about it.
"Plague?" Bai Kou and Zhao Qixi came from the future world. In that era, the plague had been conquered for a long time. Few people would get infected with such infectious diseases, so she had no idea: "This is related to the Renaissance."
What's the relationship?"
"According to your opinion, it should be a huge disaster for mankind. The cause and effect cannot be linked at all, right?"
Xiao Kaitian nodded slightly: "It seems like this at the moment. Everything has its cause and effect. It happens to be such a time node when we come in. Perhaps it is to ask us to do something."
"Go into the city..." Zhao Qixi whispered, after all, even if she speculated around here, she could not get any results.
The three of them walked towards the city together and came all the way, only then did they find that some small villages and towns outside the city, or some gathering places for humans, were basically desolate.
Death fills the world here, and the doors of every household are covered in vain, so there is no need to worry about thieves coming.
When we arrived at the entrance of the city, there was a group of soldiers guarding it, each of which sealed his mouth and nose with cloth strips, a bit like the current masks.
"The person who comes is stopping," the officer in charge blocked the three: "Where did you come from? You can have a pass."
"We are caravans," Xiao Kaitian made up casually. He took out a small gold nugget. This was collected when he stayed in the residence of Homo sapiens during the Great Flood era. There were also a few gems, all of which were all
Give it to the other party: "The caravan encountered an attack and everyone died. We can only escape here for refuge."
"Are you a merchant from the East?" The officer did not reach out to receive gold and gems: "You are sure to seek refuge here. Without a pass, there is nothing we can do."
"The compromise is to apply for a temporary residence permit, but are you sure you want to seek refuge in this city?"
"Why not," Xiao Kaitian continued: "We estimate what happened in the city, but if we can't find the city after the caravan was attacked, we will have to die in the snow in the end."
This sentence successfully convinced the officer. He took the gold and gems and put it secretly in his pocket: "Then I still want to have advice. A large-scale plague occurred in the city, and it was the Black Death. We don't know what happened.
What's going on?"
"Once you enter, you cannot come out without final confirmation. Of course, you must also check it in detail before entering."
Xiao Kaitian nodded. Any time private bribes are useful, the officer walked back and soon came back with a parchment. He wanted to register the detailed information of Xiao Kaitian and the other two.
Of course, these information are all fake and fake. Mediterranean information was not well developed. The reasons fabricated by Xiao Kaitian were common in this world. In addition to the influence of gold and gems, the officer did not interrogate in detail.
After the registration was clear, the officer took the three of them to a small room, where there was a female monk, behind her a cross, symbolizing a certain religious belief.
"There is a check here, and only qualified people can enter." The officer explained the situation to Xiao Kaitian: "Miss Catherine, please let these three people."
Seeing that the nun had grown up in the past grade and looked like she had experienced all the vicissitudes of life, she nodded. When she stood up, she had an extra silver dagger in her hand.
"Your blood needs to be checked to see if it is contaminated." As if seeing the three of them being alert, she squeezed out a smile: "I'm sorry, this is the church's rule."
