Blessings of Time Traveling

The inn that Qi Mingcheng was looking for was a mid-range inn, and he asked for four rooms in total.Qi Mingcheng and Zhao Chengyi are in the same room, and the rest of the people are divided into four, four, and five.Because it was almost dark when we entered the city, everyone had to rest after hot water and food.

Thinking of so many victims outside the city, Qi Mingcheng didn't want to stay longer in Nanpo City, so he discussed with Zhao Chengyi and said that he should leave early the next morning.

Zhao Chengyi has no objection to this.

However, by the next day, the entire Nanpo City was under martial law.Those outside were not allowed to come in, and those inside were not allowed to go out.Qi Mingcheng went out for a stroll, and after inquiring about some news, he returned to the inn with a sullen face, and said, "There is an epidemic outside, and people in Nancheng have already started to die."

Nancheng is a poor area in Nanpo City.Every city has a poor area like this, where some ordinary traffickers live.

For cities like Nanpo, where there are no streams or rivers in the city, the drinking water for the people in the city must either be dug from wells or brought in from outside the city.Many people in Nanpo City rely on selling water for a living. They have to get up in the middle of the night to bring water from outside the city into the city to sell when everyone wakes up in the morning.

However, those who can afford water are the rich, or those who can live a decent life. The poor in Nancheng are reluctant to buy water to drink.Where did these people get their drinking water from?They will go directly to the moat to fetch water to drink, even if the water in the artificially dug moat is very turbid.

Don't they know that such water is actually harmful to the body?they know.However, the life of the poor naturally has the way of the poor.

"There are always deaths among the victims outside the city, but everyone doesn't take it too seriously. The victims lack clothing and food, so what can they do if they don't die? In short, for the people in the city, as long as they don't leave the city Just let the victims of the disaster come in." Qi Mingcheng told Zhao Chengyi the news he had inquired about, "But in fact, the epidemic has already appeared among the victims of the disaster. Two days ago, the victims of the disaster threw a few corpses into the moat..."

No one knows why the disaster victims did this, maybe it was out of revenge?They knew that their companion was sick and dead, and the fear of death hung over them, and the fear made them resentful.If the people in the city let them in, will they not have to die?Resentment made them choose revenge. They threw the bodies of the sick and dead into the moat, so those who drank from the river became sick.

However, how innocent were the people in Nancheng who were forced to contract the disease?They are just ordinary people struggling to get by.

The source of the epidemic has been clarified, but Qi Mingcheng is still confused: "The epidemic only broke out in Nancheng, and people from outside the city are not allowed to come in. I can understand it, but why can't anyone in the city now?" Was it released? Our side is West City!"

If the plague broke out in the whole city, then the closure of the city could explain it, but now the epidemic is only in Nancheng.

One letter from the city, every ten days and half a month, they couldn't leave at all.

Zhao Chengyi thought for a while and said, "Give me some money, and I will go to the gatekeeper to find out about the situation later."

Qi Mingcheng untied the money bag on his body, threw the whole bag to Zhao Chengyi, and said, "I told you to take this bag of money away a long time ago, but you insisted on not listening. Why do you need to be so clear between me? Besides, you don't want me to Thinking too lofty, I'm just investing in you in advance."

Zhao Chengyi weighed the money bag, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't care about money, I'll ask you for it when I need it, it's convenient!"

"I think you think money is heavy! You sit here, and I'll call Lu Yi and Ah Shun over." Qi Mingcheng ran out of the room after speaking.He has to take good care of his own people. It is not suitable to go outside in this extraordinary period. It is better for everyone to stay honestly in one place.

There is a well in the inn.Qi Mingcheng didn't dare to make sure that this kind of groundwater had never been polluted, but one cannot live without drinking water, so Qi Mingcheng had no choice but to boil the water, drip spiritual water into it, and share it with his group.This can barely ensure everyone's safety.

Qi Mingcheng is not the savior.His only golden finger is a daily drop of spiritual water.If this spiritual water falls into the moat, it will disappear immediately, and it will not be able to save the people of a city at all.If Lingshui was omnipotent, the eldest sister and Wu Shun would have given birth to a child long ago.

Therefore, the only thing Qi Mingcheng can do is to protect his own people.

Although I don't know why Qi Mingcheng insisted that everyone only drink the water he cooked, including the water they must use when cooking their own meals, everyone guessed that Qi Mingcheng didn't want them to be infected by the disease. The respect of "scholars" was followed by everyone.

After the city is closed, the price of food will definitely skyrocket.

Therefore, Qi Mingcheng immediately stocked up a batch of durable food.Coupled with the fact that their group was on their way, all kinds of dry food were already well prepared.In short, in terms of food, they are not lacking. Fifteen men will not be hungry in the short term.

Considering that Zhao Chengyi was about to go to the city gate to inquire about news, Qi Mingcheng wanted to make him a mask.

I don't know what the original cause of this epidemic is. In fact, Qi Mingcheng doesn't know if masks are useful, but what if they are?

It's just that Qi Mingcheng's poor sewing skills can only ruin his clothes, and he can't even sew a mask that can be taken out.In the end, Bao Chunsheng couldn't see it anymore, took the needle and thread from Qi Mingcheng's hand, and made a decent finished product according to Qi Mingcheng's instructions.

Zhao Chengyi went out wearing a mask.He is now a school lieutenant, and in a place like Lidong Town, he can use his authority to deceive people, but in Nanpo City, the history of the city gate responsible for guarding the gate has a seventh rank.Although everyone's official system is a bit different, the school lieutenant really has no advantage.

Military officers like Zhao Chengyi who need to go to the battlefield are the hardest, but their status is relatively low in the entire officialdom system.

The history of the city gate still gave Zhao Chengyi face. Now that he took his money, he also revealed a few truths to him, saying: "Brother, you are a straightforward person, and I will not hide it from you. In fact, the epidemic situation in the city is not serious. It's not too serious, and there are indeed deaths in the southern city, but the southern city has been more severely blocked, and the epidemic will not spread to the east, west and north cities. As for the martial law in the whole city, this is also an order from the higher-ups. In short, we just follow it."

For those in power, the disaster victims outside the city are not human beings, and neither are the poor people in Nancheng.The victims were so hungry that they were forced to gnaw on the soil, as long as they were not brought into the city; if an epidemic broke out in Nancheng, then the Nancheng would be sealed off and the people in Nancheng would be left to fend for themselves.

"When will the ban be lifted?" Zhao Chengyi asked again.

The history of the city gate shook his head and said: "Brother, I advise you not to think too much, just wait a few days honestly. Here, do you see dozens of people in mourning over there? That's Dongcheng People from the Song family, the Song family is a wealthy family in Nanpo City, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is very good. They chose an auspicious day, and they originally wanted to bury the old man today, but when the city was closed, they had to I can wait hard."

Zhao Chengyi took a look at the dozens of filial sons and grandchildren, and couldn't help but sympathize with them.

Qi Mingcheng was waiting for the news in the inn.Ah Shun and the others went back to their respective rooms, so Qi Mingcheng was the only one left in his room.Suddenly, Qi Mingcheng heard a knock on the door.He thought it was Zhao Chengyi who had returned, and when he opened the door, he saw an unexpected person.

Wait, isn't this the Miss Cousin of the Zhou Mansion!

Isn't Miss Biao dead?

Hey, why is Miss Biao still dressed in men's clothing?Miss Biao, who has grown completely, is clearly a man!

In an instant, Qi Mingcheng was forced to stuff all kinds of information into his mind.He was stunned for two seconds, and quickly pulled Shen Ling into the room, without asking why Shen Ling appeared here, or why Shen Ling died and came back to life, let alone why Shen Ling suddenly became a genuine man.Qi Mingcheng said straight to the point: "Do you need my help? Tell me, as long as I can help, I will try my best."

Now it was Shen Ling's turn to be stunned.Qi Mingcheng's attitude was really beyond his expectation.

Seeing that Qi Mingcheng really didn't intend to ask anything, Shen Ling couldn't help laughing.

Shen Ling has always thought that Qi Mingcheng is an interesting person.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Qi Mingcheng has become more and more interesting.

"It's just a coincidence. I happened to be staying in this inn too. When I saw an old friend, I came to say hello." Shen Ling said.

Qi Mingcheng let out a "huh" and didn't know what to say.There are too many secrets in Shen Ling.He was born in the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo, he disguised himself as a woman for so many years, and then came back to life...Qi Mingcheng didn't need to think too much, he felt a bloody wind blowing towards his face.

Guessing that Zhao Chengyi will be back soon, Qi Mingcheng said: "Ahem, your identity... My companion is coming back soon. He is in the army and is a captain." Although Zhao Chengyi is working for the faction of the Zhen Guofu, Shen Ling's His background is too bizarre, he probably doesn't want to be known, right?

What if Zhao Chengyi found out the identity of "Miss Cousin"?

Shen Ling thought for a while and said, "One of my companions was injured, you should have some medicinal materials here?"

"Yes! But the medicinal materials are kept by one of my subordinates. You sit here for a while, and I'll go get them." Qi Mingcheng said quickly.There is only one ginseng hidden in his room.As for the other basic medicinal materials, they are all kept by Ah Shun. After all, Ah Shun is the only one among them who understands the principles of medicine.

Shen Ling accepted Qi Mingcheng's arrangement.

Qi Mingcheng quickly left his room.Not long after he left, the door opened again.

Zhao Chengyi pushed the door open and saw Shen Ling sitting in his room. He was shocked, quickly closed the door tightly, and asked, "Mr. Shen?! Why are you here? Is there anything I need to do? By the way, I'm sharing a room with my companion now, why don't you avoid it first?"

What if Qi Mingcheng discovered Mr. Shen's identity?

Shen Ling: ...

Suddenly feel that you are so shameless?
