After running non-stop for more than half an hour, Mu Yunjing found that he hadn't caught up with the carriage carrying the medicinal materials all the way. Presumably he was delayed by someone, and he couldn't catch up with a carriage.
At the fork in the road, Mu Yunjing slowed down.
"Jing'er, where is this?"
Li Chengyu caught up with him and watched the surroundings gradually change from the plains to the forests. The trees on both sides of the road became taller and taller, blocking the sunlight and only pouring down mottled light and shadow.
The surrounding area was quite quiet, only the hooves of the three of them echoed in the mountains and forests, and occasionally birds flew by, accompanied by crisp birdsong.
"I'm going to Qiaotou Village. According to the distance, it will take about half a day." Mu Yunjing glanced at him and said calmly, "You should go back to the city if you have nothing to do. I'm in a hurry, and I won't be going back for a while."
"Qiaotou Village?" Li Chengyu asked.
"En." Mu Yunjing responded, "The countryside is very remote, and it is not suitable for a noble person like Mr. Li to go there."
"Jing'er can go, why can't I go?"
Li Chengyu couldn't help being surprised when he saw Mu Yunjing riding for so long without showing any signs of fatigue.
"I'm going on a medical visit, so why don't you go for a tour?" Mu Yunjing snorted softly, glanced at the guards who were closely guarding Li Chengyu, and said sarcastically, "Young Master, there is no There are beautiful women serving you, and there is no good wine or food for you to enjoy, and there are only a few villagers who are sick."
Li Chengyu didn't care and said, "Then I'll help you. You're so tired of visiting the doctor alone. You need someone who can help you."
"I have two buddies who can help me, but I dare not bother you."
"I am willing." Li Chengyu chuckled and narrowed the distance between the two horses, "Look, we have been riding for a long time, why don't we stop for a while?"
"Take a rest when you're tired, I'm still in a hurry."
Mu Yunjing gave a kick, and the horse ran quickly again, quickly leaving Li Chengyu behind.
"This temper is really impatient." Li Chengyu said helplessly to the wooden-faced Xinghe, then waved his whip and chased after him.
Only half an hour later, Mu Yunjing slowed down again.
Looking at the surrounding environment, he was a little tired and found that he had lost his way.
Although this section of the road to Qiaotou Village was not walked many times, it was not the first time he took it. It was just that he usually went out with Chen Jing, but he never thought that he would get lost sometimes.
Li Chengyu was surprised when he heard his sigh.
"What's the matter? You're not in a hurry, why did you stop instead?" Li Chengyu stopped beside him and asked suspiciously.
Mu Yunjing did not answer, but looked around, but there is only one mountain road at present, and he can only choose to move forward.
Li Chengyu followed him and drove for a while, until the original mountain road turned into a trail, and then he realized what Mu Yunjing's frowning eyebrows were for.
Thinking that this usually calm and indifferent person would get lost, Li Chengyu only thought he was inexplicably cute.
Mu Yunjing looked sideways at his low laughter, and he asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay." Li Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Which way should we go next?"
There happened to be two forked roads in front of him, Li Chengyu pointed to the right, "I think we should go this way."
Mu Yunjing glanced to the left and then to the right. The two roads look the same on the surface, and even the trees on the two mountain trails look similar.Just because there was no difference, Mu Yunjing didn't know which side to choose.
"Didn't you say that Qiaotou Village is in the southwest of Yunzhou City? The right side must be right." Li Chengyu said confidently, "If you go wrong, it will be my fault."
Mu Yunjing took a deep look at him, patted the horse's head, and walked towards the mountain path on the right.
Li Chengyu frowned, and followed happily.
Perhaps Li Chengyu chose the right trail, and Mu Yunjing gradually breathed a sigh of relief as he saw his field of vision getting wider and wider.If he lost his way accidentally and delayed his business, he would have to blame himself.
"How about it, trust me."
When they re-entered the avenue, Li Chengyu smiled and asked for credit, as if waiting to be praised.
Mu Yunjing glanced at the bright smile on his face, and said, "Since Mr. Li knows the way, he will not get lost when he goes back."
"Jing'er wants to drive me away again." Li Chengyu put away his smile and said seriously: "If I don't accompany you, I'm afraid that you will get lost and no one will show you the way. Don't say that you need to be rescued." Humans, it is difficult to save themselves."
"Don't worry about it." Mu Yunjing only said coldly.
The tile-roofed houses in Qiaotou Village are slowly emitting white smoke. It is already noon, and the doors of every house in the village are closed, and there is no one on the road.
A few dogs lay listlessly under the big tree at the head of the village. The dogs with drooping heads opened a pair of cloudy eyes, and flies buzzed around from time to time.
Not far away, a young man threw a wooden bucket into the well, and after a while, a bucket of clean well water came up.He put his head down and drank it in a big gulp. The cool well water moistened his dry throat and revived him a little.
Looking at the remaining half of the bucket of water, he raised his sleeves again and splashed some well water on his bare arms.The coldness stimulated him to shake his body a little, until the water in the bucket was used up by him, and he filled the bucket with well water again.
As soon as the bucket was carried into the yard, a middle-aged man came out of the house.
"Father, why did you come out?" Putting down the bucket quickly, Chen Jing stepped forward and nervously supported Chen Ming, letting him sit down on a stool.
"I'm fine, but how is the wound on your hand?"
Chen Ming patted him reassuringly, then raised Chen Jing's sleeves uncomfortably, and looked at the new blisters that appeared on his arm, Chen Ming sighed deeply.
"It's okay." Chen Jing put down his sleeves indifferently, "I just washed it with water, and it didn't itch."
"Even if it's itchy, you can't scratch it, remember it." Chen Ming held his hand tightly, with deep self-blame in his eyes, and sighed, "Oh, I shouldn't have let you see him off." medicinal materials, otherwise you would not be infected with this disease."
"Father, don't blame yourself, these are what a son should do." Chen Jing comforted, "It's you who should take care of yourself. Dad, sit down for a while, and I'll make medicine for you."
"No need." Chen Ming grabbed Chen Jing who was going to the kitchen, "Your Aunt Qiao is already frying, and you also need to continue drinking medicine for a while."
"But aren't the medicinal materials not enough?" Chen Jing hesitated, "My injury is not serious, so let's be close to others first."
"The people in the village need to be treated, so should your injury." Chen Ming said with a sullen face.
"My injury really doesn't matter. Dad, didn't you send someone to send a message back? I believe that people from the medical center will send medicinal materials over soon. By then, I will have time to take the medicine again."
The load of medicinal materials he sent over was divided among the people in the village and it would not last three days. I thought it was just a simple disease. After all, only a few households in the village were infected with the symptoms at the beginning. Who would have thought that it would last forever? , and there is an increasing trend.
In just a few days, most of the people in the village have been infected. Fortunately, no one has died from this unknown disease.
"Calculating the time, the next batch of medicinal materials will definitely arrive before evening." Chen Ming thought for a while, "It's just that the medicinal materials have arrived, and it's still useless to find the cause."
"How could it be? The cause will definitely be found." Seeing that his father's expression was wrong, Chen Jing immediately comforted him, "Father, you must not be discouraged, we still have to rely on you to save our lives."
"Yes, we still have to rely on you, Old Chen."
At this time, another middle-aged man with wooden crutches entered the yard. The man was about the age of destiny. Although his skin was dark, he was full of energy. He looked at the Chen family father and son with eager eyes.
"Old Qiao, why are you here?" Chen Ming showed a strange expression, and asked Chen Jing to help him up.
"Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, I really trouble you to bring medicine here." Chen Jing saw the basket in the woman's hand behind the man, and he immediately stepped forward to take it from the woman's hand.
In the basket was not only the freshly fried medicine, but also the lunch of the father and son.
"It's really troublesome for you." Chen Ming said gratefully, "I was here to treat your illnesses, but now I have to be taken care of by you in turn."
"Look at what you're saying, if I hadn't invited you here, you wouldn't have fallen into an unknown disease in our village. It's only my incompetence as the village chief who caused the villagers to suffer in vain. .” The middle-aged man showed shame and blamed himself very much.
"This matter is not your responsibility alone." Chen Ming patted his old friend, "I am ashamed of you. It has been a few days and I still haven't been able to cure your villagers. I am not good at learning skills, but I am not good at learning skills. Not good."
"Don't think about it too much. There is always a way to cure this disease. We can't mess things up by ourselves." Village Chief Qiao said, "Isn't it because you sent people back to prepare new medicinal materials? Once the medicinal materials are delivered, the villagers can also have medicine to treat their diseases."
"Old Qiao, you are right, I can't be discouraged first." Chen Ming nodded, "When the new medicinal materials arrive, I will think about it carefully. Even if the disease appears inexplicably, there is always a cause. I don't believe that this can produce a disease out of thin air."
"That's right, Dad, you will definitely be able to find the cause and prescribe the right medicine." Chen Jing agreed, and then arranged the meals, "Dad, let's eat first, you will have strength when you are full."
The Chen family's father and son had a diagnosis in the village again in the afternoon on a patient who had taken the medicine again, and when they returned to the house, their hearts were heavy with doubts.
"Father, depending on the situation, today's soup has no effect."
The abscesses on the bodies of several of the initially ill villagers had begun to fester, giving off a foul odor that was deeply disturbing.
"The situation is really bad." Chen Ming frowned tightly, he thought about it, and finally said in a deep voice: "Go, call you Uncle Qiao, we have to isolate those people."
"Yes, I will inform Uncle Qiao right away." Chen Jing immediately went out to find someone.
When they had just resettled the people, a group of people suddenly came from outside the village.
Some villagers rushed to report: "Village chief, it's not good. People from the yamen have come. They said that there is an epidemic in our village and they want to isolate our whole village."
At the fork in the road, Mu Yunjing slowed down.
"Jing'er, where is this?"
Li Chengyu caught up with him and watched the surroundings gradually change from the plains to the forests. The trees on both sides of the road became taller and taller, blocking the sunlight and only pouring down mottled light and shadow.
