Fantastic scenery

Hearing Huang Yong's talk about the situation in Guanzhong, Huo Tailing immediately asked him to prepare some dry food. Jian Huilian also recovered from the shock just now and asked, "Tailing, where are you going?"

Huo Tai Lingshou glanced at her, "Guanzhong".

Huang Yong came in with the package, and was shocked when he heard this sentence, "My lord! I heard from Yang Tong that the Holy One was angry yesterday, and while you were calming down, let Yang Tong take your place temporarily."

"God damn emperor! I can go wherever I like! He doesn't care about his father!" Huo Tailing snatched the package, "I won't serve you anymore!"

When he went out, he rode on his jujube-colored horse and went straight to You'anmen.

It was already night when we arrived at You'anmen, I saw a black figure standing in front of the door, as if waiting for him, Huo Tailing drew out his saber, rode his horse in and saw that it was Yang Tongyi.

"Yang Tong, I'm leaving the city." Huo Tai ordered his horse to stop.

Yang Tong stood up with his chest folded, "Boss, I knew you wanted to come here, so I stayed here. The emperor specifically told you to let you "have a good rest". How can I let you go out of the city? I can't bear the responsibility for this." .”

"I have to go out today!" Huo Tailing got off his horse, "You can't stop me!"

Yang Tong smiled excitedly, and he also pulled out his Cloud Zhan Dao, "I've always wanted to find a chance to compete with Huo Tailing, and now I have the chance!".

The guards behind Yang Tong also raised their sabers forward, forming a semi-arc encirclement. "Retire! This is a matter between Master Huo and me."

After Jing Yangtong stopped drinking, the people behind looked around for a while before slowly retreating to the gate of the city.

"Boss, look at my progress in the past three years!", Yang Tong's face is full of bloodthirsty smiles, this is him, no matter how long a wolf pretends to be a sheep, he is still a wolf.

Yang Tongyi had indeed improved a lot, and Huo Tailing hadn't recovered well, so it was hard to tell which was better for a while, Yang Tongyi became more and more excited, while Huo Tailing was eager to go out of the city, and showed his flaws several times, but he reacted in time so that there would be no big surprises. wrong.

The two knives were facing each other, and the fire was flying, Yang Tongyi said in a low voice: "Boss! Can you concentrate?! If you win, I will let you go out of the city!"

Huo Tailing snorted, "I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill you kid!"

Yang Tongyi also began to kill with a knife, "Don't be afraid! Boss, you are not like you, just be careful not to be killed by me!" Yang Tongyi slashed down in the air and went straight for the door, Huo Tailing blocked it with a knife down, but half kneeling on the ground.In the blink of an eye, Huo Tailing's Xiuchun Knife had been pulled out of a gap by the Zhanyun Knife.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and began to fight with their lives.

The guards on the side watched in horror. The battle lasted for nearly half an hour. At the end, Huo Tailing was drenched in blood and sweat. He couldn't feel the pain, the Xiuchun Knife was already full of cracks, the tip of the knife touched Yang Tongyi's eyebrows, the skin was cut and bleeding, Yang Tongyi still smiled, "It's still close! Almost cut the boss in half." , The pity in the tone is also a pity.

Huo Tailing wiped his sweat for himself, "You wolf cub!"

Yang Tongyi had also been kicked by Huo Tailing just now, and he was kicked in the heart, there was a hot stream in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out and drenched his chest and skirt.

Huo Tailing frowned, "You were seriously injured."

Yang Tong looked at Huo Tailing, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Let Mr. Huo leave the city!"

They just recovered from the fight just now and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Tongyi raised his voice, "I have something to take care of, it has nothing to do with you, open the city gate quickly!!"

Huo Tailing threw away the scrapped Xiuchun knife, tore off a piece of cloth from the hem, tied his thighs, and temporarily stopped the bleeding.

Yang Tong handed the Yunzhan Dao in his hand, "I ruined your sword, this is compensation." The Yunzhan Dao shone brightly under the firelight in the night. This sword came from the hands of a mysterious metallurgist. The special material can cut iron into mud, and even the Xiuchun knife bestowed by Shenzong himself has been chopped mottled.

Huo Tailing was not polite to him either, he took Zhanyun and snatched the scabbard from Yang Tong's hand, "Giving the scabbard or not! You fucking bastard, why are you pretending to be generous?!"

Yang Tong let out a chuckle, and felt a little unsteady, bent over and supported his knees, "Boss...you have really strong legs!"

Huo Tailing put away the knife, got on his horse, and said to Yang Tongyi: "If you are like this, if the emperor punishes you, can you run away?"

With a snort, Yang Tong raised his head and looked at Huo Tailing on the horse, "If you were really worried, would I still run away? However, I stayed in the capital just to compete with you. This wish has been fulfilled, it is life. Death has its own destiny."

"After a while, when you recover from your injury and practice harder, I may really not be your opponent. At that time, we will have a better competition!"

Yang Tongyi was a little astonished, then laughed twice, "Let's go!"

Looking at the city gate slowly opened, Huo Tailing clamped the horse's belly, the horse neighed, and rode Juechen.

Nearly a hundred miles outside Xianyang City, there is a village called Xie Ma Jia, which has been washed away beyond recognition by the flood. The government has designated a land of about [-] acres here. This area was originally a village, and now the walls of the houses have been washed away by the water. Soaked, it's all dilapidated.

Thousands of refugees were isolated in this one-hundred-acre-wide area, and officers and soldiers surrounded it with iron fences. It was divided into three areas: the plague area for dead people, the area for good people, and the area for medical officials.The dead people's plague area is full of sick refugees or refugees with signs of infection, the good people's area is full of refugees who have no signs of infection at present, the medical officer area is full of medical officers who come spontaneously or spontaneously, and Fang Shu and Ji Rong acted as the assistant of the medical officers.

Troops were also stationed between the three districts, and no one except Lang Zhong and his assistants was allowed to enter or leave.

In addition to the three areas, there is also a cremation area. Once someone dies, the body must be dragged here and burned immediately.

When Fang Shu first arrived in Xianyang, there was no deadly plague. In those few days, he and the soldiers dug and dredged the river every day, and told stories to a group of refugee children at night, and asked Ji Rong to contact Erliang and the others.

It turns out that Erliang, Ji Yue, and the moderate faction of the Nine Lotus Sect in Guanzhong have been donating a large amount of food and grass in the name of "Huaiyin wooden utensils", but some of the officials pocketed their own money, and the amount of food and grass that actually reached the hands of soldiers and refugees was overwhelmed. some discounts.

Erliang and Ji Yue who contacted Fang Shu were very pleasantly surprised. That night they couldn't wait to disguise themselves as ordinary vendors and deliver the supplies to Fang Shu in person. Because of Ji Yue's eye-catching appearance, they drew some purple-black birthmarks on their faces. , but if people take a closer look, the sculpted facial features are still confusing.

Fang Shu pretended to be polite and invited them to drink some tea at the farmhouse where he was temporarily staying. When they entered the door, there were only the four of them. Ji Rong hugged Erliang and Ji Yue from left to right, jumping left and right happily.

Seeing her childish nature, Ji Yue pressed her bouncing body and glanced at Erliang, who was talking to Fang Shu, and said: "You are a big girl, how can you be ashamed! Wearing men's clothes, first follow Fang Shu That group of men ran around, and then hugged and hugged Erliang again?! There is a difference between a man and a woman. Do you understand if you can give or take a kiss?!", the harshness in his tone was like ice water Ji Rong's enthusiasm for reunion.

She said aggrievedly: "Brother... I haven't seen you for a few months, and you scold me when you meet! Brother Fuyan is not that kind of person, he treats me more like his own sister! At least he won't ignore me like an old mother Three seven 21, I'm so naughty!"

Hearing that Ji Yue couldn't get angry, she became aggressive and said in a low voice, "Stinky girl! You've grown up! Your mouth is hard!! Did that Suan Confucian teach you?!" Suan Confucian pointed at It is Fangshu.

"Brother! I was always taken care of by those "acid Confucians" in the capital! You kept saying you cared about me, and when you heard something happened in the church, you patted your ass and left!" Ji Rong was so happy just now, now How wronged.

This crying sentence attracted the attention of Fang Shu and Er Liang. Er Liang glanced at the bewildered Ji Yue, but said nothing.

Fang Shu stepped forward and asked, "Why are you brothers and sisters so happy that you are about to cry when you meet?"

After saying this, Ji Rong seemed to have found a harbor, and threw herself into Fang Shu's arms. Unexpectedly, the impact of her small body was so strong that Fang Shu coughed violently. Fang Shu was about to pull her away. Feeling the wetness of her chest and clothes, Ji Rong twitched, whimpering, and her voice was choked up: "I am so hard... I am here to scold you! What brother! Whoever loves wants whoever wants it!! I don’t want it anymore, I want to be alone now, don’t follow my brother anymore!!”

Yelling at Ji Yuechu, who didn't know what to do, and felt disobedient after a while, he pulled Ji Rong away from Fang Shu's arms, "What's wrong with you......", I saw Ji Rong's tears and snot all over Fang Shu's body, as well as his own face, crying so much that he felt aggrieved.

Orlean said aside, "We should go."

Ji Yue said, "Okay."

Ji Yue took Ji Rong's hand and wanted to take her away. Ji Rong hid behind Fang Shu, glanced at Erliang, and felt that heaven and man were at war in her heart, but this time she did not intend to compromise with Ji Yue, "I will follow Fu Brother Yan saves the people of Liming! I don’t want to be your servant anymore!!”

Fang Shu was dragged into the muddy water and hurt his muscles, so he made a helpless expression at Ji Yue.Ji Yue planned a hundred ways to deal with her in her mind, her eyes were blazing as she stared at her.

Erliang said aloud: "It's good to let her here, the young master won't make things difficult for her, don't worry."

When Ji Rong was unexpected, her brother just snorted coldly, and said to Fang Shu: "Please trouble Mr. Fang to take care of the younger sister." After speaking, he gave her a glare, and followed Erliang to go out.

She was ready to "fight to the death" with Ji Yue, she never expected that Ji Yue would leave after Erliang said a word, she couldn't believe it.

Fang Shu looked at this Ji Yue who was both father and mother and sighed, "Your brother is really worried."

"He is worrying about his life. When the leader is here, he will take care of me and the leader. When the leader is gone, he will concentrate on oppressing me. He thinks that he is the most sensible in the world. Brother Fuyan, I think it is okay for the leader to leave the teacher. shirk responsibility."

After that, Erliang came again and delivered a few carts of food and grass.

Fang Shu saw that his command of his subordinates was orderly, and he was completely different from the person who worked hard to "support the family" last year. He had suffered from him all those years following him, and he felt guilty for him.

At noon that day, Jiahe didn’t dig, and the refugees didn’t go to appease him. His legs and feet were muddy and he didn’t bother to clean them. He went back to the farmhouse early to cook some vegetarian food, because the food and grass were really in short supply, although the cannibalism was suppressed. Go on, but they are all in a state of not having enough to eat. Just these few vegetarian dishes are very luxurious, and they can be regarded as mountain delicacies.

The four of them had a simple meal at noon that day, Ji Rong didn't talk to Ji Yue, Fang Shu kept talking to Er Liang about what happened after they separated, neither of them reported good news or bad news, Er Liang only said about the Nine Lotus Sect The "whitewashing" work went smoothly, and there was no mention of them being secretly hunted down by Dong Mang.Fang Shu only said that there was a new baby in the family, Qi Liang's baby, but he didn't mention the conflict between him and Huo Tailing, or his suspicion that Huo Tailing wanted to kill him.

Seeing that he didn't mention Huo Tailing, Erliang was very worried, fearing that his young master would suffer and be wronged, so he asked: "Master, then...why are you the only one here?"

Ji Rong saw that she was finally able to get in on a topic, so she said, "And me, brother Fuyan didn't come alone."

Ji Yue rolled her eyes at her, and before waiting for her younger sister to apologize, she couldn't help condescendingly saying: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! I didn't treat you as a dumb!!"

Fang Shu was a little unnatural, and only replied: "There is something in the capital, and he has to deal with it. Oh, by the way, Erliang, how long are you going to stay in Guanzhong?"

Picking up a chopstick of cabbage, Erliang said: "It's almost enough to close some underground gambling shops here and open them as serious businesses. The Huaiyin wooden utensils were used to do murder before, so they opened up as a coffin business. That's amazing." Well, just opened the coffin and it was a disaster, hey, it's a bit ironic, I didn't expect the business to be so good, but we are all selling at cost, and we don't make much money."

"Haha", Fang Shu couldn't laugh or cry, "Next time you start a wedding business, and everyone will be happy with the money."

Not long after sending Erliang and Ji Yue away, Fang Shu was about to go to see the flood control repairs. Before he left the refugee shelter, he saw a person suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up. A group of ragged refugees surrounded him, and the people inside were shouting, " This grandma is dead!"

People chattered, "Why did you die suddenly?", "It's normal to die suddenly when you're old.", "No, grandma's skin is getting dark!", "That's right. That's right! It's like being poisoned."

Fang Shu pushed aside the crowd, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The imperial envoy is here! Get out of the way."

The people hurried out of the way, they had never seen the imperial envoy, let alone imagined that the imperial envoy was so down-to-earth, and they were not much better dressed in rags.

Fang Shu didn’t get too close to see his death, his heart was full of alarms, he took off his outer shirt and covered the body. It was hot in summer and people wore thin clothes. Finally! The dead body is poisonous and should not be approached!" For a while, he could only explain it this way. When he was a child, he read some Western post books, which were full of pictures and texts. It mentioned a plague called "Black Death", and the dead body appeared purple-black. , there were lumps on his body, and many lumps festered and ulcerated. He saw this phenomenon in this corpse.

When the people heard that it was poisonous, they backed up and covered their mouths and noses. Fang Shu asked the guards to bring a wooden frame to cover their mouths and noses. They put cloths on their hands and carried the corpses to be burned outside the camp.

Before he even had time to put on his clothes, he borrowed a family of mules and rode them to find Tan Fei Zhizhou. In order to experience the disaster, Tan Zhizhou found a mansion not far from the camp that was owned by an outsider on vacation, and the outsider looked at him " Compassionate for the common people", and gave him the mansion.

When Fang Shu rushed in shirtless, Tan Fei was still drinking tea and talking with a county magistrate.

"Master Imperial Envoy is here! We welcome you!" Tan Fei stood up and bowed with his big belly. The Imperial Envoy was ridiculed both openly and secretly, "Is it too hot outside? Or are you tired from work? Why are you shirtless?" The thin and frail boy stood beside him and said, "Hutong, hurry up and get the clothes for the lord!"

"No need!", these days I have been with those shirtless rough men, and I think there is nothing wrong with being shirtless, "I'm here to tell you something! I just asked General Qi, and in the past two days, there have been people who have similar way to die..."

Fang Shu slowly explained the bizarre death incident that started two days ago to the two old men who only drank tea, "Yesterday, nearly 50 people died like this, but today, this afternoon, there are nearly a hundred people! I suspect It's the plague."

Zhizhou and Zhixian looked at each other and smiled, Tan Fei laughed so much that his jaws trembled, while Zhixian had wicked eyebrows, making Fang Shu feel uncomfortable when he laughed.

Tan Fei slowly stopped laughing, "I'm talking about Mr. Fang! Where did the plague come from! Don't be alarmist, those refugees are probably frightened, and the living environment is a bit harsh, and the water and soil are not suitable!"

Fang Shu talked nonsense, and described the information he read from the book again, but they still took him for a joke.

Fang Shu sighed, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake, and he cannot face it head-on. He only brought a few hundred people from Bingmasi.

He left angrily, went back to the camp and found Qi Zhenhai, and told him to let the soldiers cover their faces and only keep their eyes open, and find and treat people with fever, bleeding, lumps, coughing, and cold in the refugee camp. Quarantine up.

Qi Zhenhai was in his early thirties, with a short stature, dark and stout, with brute strength, and a straightforward person. A few years ago, he made military achievements in defending against the barbarians in the north.The relationship with Fang Shu is relatively harmonious, so he didn't ask any more questions, and he did as he wanted, and a dead plague area was separated.

When I found Ji Rong, she was distributing food to the refugees. Fang Shu told her to go to Erliang and the others, not to stay here any longer. Seeing his serious expression, Ji Rong was a little frightened, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Shu casually said: "Don't worry about it, you leave here first, I can't explain to your brother what happened."

Ji Rong frowned, clenched her fists, and said, "You all treat me like a child! You don't need to tell anyone about your affairs! I won't leave!!"

Fang Shu stomped his feet anxiously, thinking that this girl was too stubborn to get in.

Fang Shu told her the truth again, and she was not afraid, and said a benevolent and righteous saying: "If a country lives and dies to benefit the country, why not avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune." Finally, she replied: "Everyone in the world engages in gender discrimination. , I didn’t expect Brother Fuyan to be such a person! Discriminate against us girls!! Why can’t I help these suffering people here?!”

She was able to say this because she didn't know it was really a plague, and she didn't expect it to be such a severe plague. After she realized the seriousness of the matter, she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

More than 100 people died suddenly that night. They all wrapped their bodies in cloth and burned their bodies overnight.

Looking at the criss-crossed corpses, the death was strange, with many pustules on his body, not to mention Ji Rong, many soldiers retched again and again.

Ji Rong thought: "If Brother Fuyan tells me to go again, I will go to Brother Erliang and the others."

But the next day Fang Shu ordered all the refugees to be quarantined, no new refugees were accepted here, and no one was allowed to go out.

Fang Shu had no choice but to order the medical officers near Xianyang to come and station here. Tan Fei also laughed at Fang Shunong's seriousness. Fang Shu couldn't stand it anymore, and refuted him in front of his subordinates.

In addition to the local medical officials, there are also quack doctors who came here spontaneously after hearing about the incident.

But the situation is out of control. Not only are there more and more people in the plague area of ​​the dead, but even many soldiers have high fever, retching, and symptoms of cold. There was also a collective illness, and then there was a sudden death in Xianyang City, and his body was purple and black when he died.

After leaving the refugee camp, anyone with relevant symptoms will be arrested and locked up in prisons. Now the prisons in Xianyang are not detaining prisoners, but patients instead.

Come whatever you are afraid of, this invisible battle of killing people can start a prairie fire like a single spark.
