I wanted to embrace my master and return home

The remaining [-] or so newly arrived maids screamed in fright, and the hall was like a mess of beehives for a while, some panicked, some wept bitterly...

"what are you doing!"

Mingqing heard the movement and hurried out of the side hall. What he saw was such a chaotic scene. He immediately dismissed the crowd, looked at the girl whose body was separated, picked up the maid card she had dropped beside her, and felt Surprised.

The words "Ruan Taoer" are clearly engraved on the wooden sign.

Gao Motang gripped the sword tightly, his face was as pale as a dead man, his forehead was soaked with sweat, and the hand holding the sword trembled...

"...She is not Ruan Zhaorong, she just has the same name." Ming Qing held his hand and said softly, "You killed innocent people indiscriminately."

Gao Motang twitched his lips, eyes filled with horror: "She...she..."

Mingqing suppressed the anger in his heart, and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, she is not Ruan Zhaorong, look at her appearance, she looks exactly the same as Zhaorong, doesn't she?"

If he hadn't seen Gao Motang's frightened appearance, he really wanted to scold him severely, but at this time Gao Motang had completely changed his appearance, and was terrified of this girl who had the same name as her old friend.

"Can'er is not afraid, it's just a duplicate name, don't be afraid, I'm..." Ming Qing slowly took off his sword and patted his back lightly.

"Yes... yes, she is not, she is not." He swallowed a mouthful, and stood up staggeringly.

Aunt Tao died a long time ago, the dead will not come back...

Aunt Tao drowned herself, it's none of my business, none of my business...

He muttered words that he couldn't hear clearly, and walked towards the side hall with the dragon chair, his steps were weak and heavy.

Ming Qing was behind him, his eyes gradually darkened.

Even he couldn't figure out why Gao Motang was so afraid of the word "Ruan Tao'er". Isn't this the "Aunt Tao" who raised him?

At night, it was raining patter outside the window, suddenly a gust of wind blew open the window of the dormitory, and there was a huge bang of thunder, Gao Motang woke up from the nightmare.

He was drenched in sweat, just about to ask someone to bring a cup of tea in, but then remembered that all the palace officials had been dismissed by him, so he was about to get up, when the corner of his eyes drifted past the bronze mirror on the bedside table, and there was a flower under the corner of the mirror. White peach blossom!

"Ah!!!" Gao Motang's heart sank suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, he knocked over the table with his palm, and the white peach fell to the ground lightly.

There was also a person living in the side hall. Ming Qing, who heard the commotion, rushed over wearing a coat, and saw Gao Motang was sweating, with an extremely terrifying expression, huddled in the corner of the bed, staring at the ground, hugging his knees , Eyes full of astonishing fear, as if seeing the scariest thing in the world.

"Can!"

Ming Qing walked over quickly and held his shoulder worriedly.

"She's back, she's back to look for me...she's back..." Gao Motang muttered, as if someone had taken his soul out.

"Jan'er, what are you talking about?" Ming Qing looked in the direction of his line of sight suspiciously. There was a broken bronze mirror, a wine bottle, and an overturned table on the ground, but there was nothing else.

"Did you see...that white peach, it's her...she came back to look for me..." Gao Motang said.

Ming Qing carefully looked at the ground, there was no white peach blossom, not even a root of grass, he patted his back: "There is nothing on the ground, no white peach, it's a nightmare."

"It's her...it's her...Aunt Tao, please let me go, I didn't kill you..."

As if being controlled by someone, Gao Motang kept shaking his head and muttering, "I didn't mean to...don't take me away, don't...let me go..."

As Ming Qing listened, the hands that patted her back gradually stopped, her heart also cooled down, and her eyes were secretive.

Guan'er, Guan'er, what should I think of you, what should I do with you.

Originally thought that it was just an ordinary plague, Yuzhou City was located in a corner of Chaoyang Kingdom, thousands of miles away from the royal palace, the plague could never spread to the capital, but it was so bizarre, the people in the capital There were also small outbreaks of plague.

Along with the plague, there was continuous rain. It was autumn, and it was not surprising that the rain was frequent, but this year's rain seemed different from the previous ones. It was gray and the color was very abnormal.

Those who are interested gradually discovered that the rain fell on the crops, and the crops that were not covered were getting weaker day by day. The bold farmers picked up a little soil and smelled it, and there was a fishy smell. Son.

People gradually discovered that this was a kind of corrosive rainwater. People were puzzled, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They just covered the crops with waterproof cloth. After a few days, the rain became stronger and stronger, and the gray The rain in the sky blinded all reality, and looking at the crops and mountains, they were all corroded into a pool of mud.

Not only that, but the rain has continued for more than a month without stopping. Under the circumstances that people did not expect, the rain gradually soaked the houses, and many wooden houses collapsed overnight, killing hundreds of people. , The brick house is also crumbling, and with a little force with your hands, you can pinch a piece of wall mud.

This caused the people to panic. In just one month, many ordinary people in the capital were homeless, and the rain even spread to other cities. Every day, many refugees from other places flowed into the capital. Porridge, but it's just a drop in the bucket.

The disaster broke out, and there was no plague at this time, but there were many refugees, the tax had not been lowered, the crops were corroded, and the food had doubled from [-] yuan per stone, but the supply was still in short supply.

This is the scene outside the palace, the palace has not been affected by it, the people's taxes are still paid, the treasury is also sufficient, the palace building is solid and indestructible, and the inner hall is still singing every night.

"Your Majesty, another [-] refugees have flowed in from outside the royal capital today. What should we do..." the minister worried.

Gao Motang casually dropped a piece on the chessboard without raising his head: "Lock the city gates tightly and don't let them in."

"However, the rain shows no sign of stopping at all. Floods broke out in low-lying areas, and the people's farmland was damaged. It is the harvest season, but half of them have been lost..."

"What kind of rain, why doesn't Gu feel that there is something wrong here, and it can also corrode crops and houses?" Gao Motang raised his head.

"Yes, folks don't know when they started to call this rainwater rain, which is seriously corrosive. If it is often rained on the body, the skin will start to itch and develop rashes."

"Tsk, that's strange. Let the chief minister allocate a sum of money from the treasury."

"Yes." The minister bowed his head with a satisfied smile on his face.

Once the funds are allocated, the pockets will have to be full again.

"Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate. Closing the gates of the cities is not a long-term solution. Your Majesty should send people to investigate the situation. It will not be too late to allocate the disaster relief funds. And please hand it over to the Northwest General and don't let anyone else do it." Mingqing said seriously.

"Master Tai Tu..." The minister below almost gritted his teeth.

"Then do as the Taifu said, let's go down." Gao Motang waved his hand.

"Yes……"

"Song Yu..." After a long time, Gao Motang's chess piece froze in the air, he frowned and read the two words again, then shook his head and continued to play: "What is Shou Yu, a bluffing name."

Although there was chaos outside the palace, the first batch of relief food brought by the General of the Northwest was very rich. It was very different from the previous disaster relief. If you get two bowls of thick porridge, you won't starve to death.

In just ten days, the price of grain at Mipu rose from 140 yuan per stone to [-] yuan per stone. Ordinary people who were reluctant to buy grain before now look back and regret it.

The homeless people and refugees had a bowl of porridge to drink every day, and the court allocated a sum of money to build the shelter, and they gradually settled down for a while, but one day, a "plague" suddenly broke out in the shelter.

The rain is corrosive, and it can cause skin itching and rashes when it is poured on people's bodies. This is obvious to all, so no one cares about it. But after a while, the rashes not only did not go away, but began to gradually spread to other parts of the body , and then the rash rose, filled with pus, and began to fester...

Not only that, many people also have many demon patterns on their bodies. The reason why they are called demon patterns is because these patterns are exquisite. Some people have symmetrical purple pointed lines on their faces, which are similar to the common poisonous spider The textures on the body are very similar.

Some people have strange red patterns growing on their bodies, the patterns are strange and changeable, spreading from the chest to the demon world, looking like mandala petals in a painting book, some people have centipede markings growing on their bodies, from arms to thighs, all It is black and yellow markings.

There are more lines that have never been seen before, with weird colors and indeterminate shapes. A normal person looks like a monster, so they are called monster lines.

The faces of the sick people are covered with horrible demon marks, and there are seven or eight ulcers on the skin, or even more. Large pieces of rotten flesh are exposed, and the stench is incomparable. The sick people will continue to have a high fever, and finally have difficulty breathing And death, even if the physique is better, it is still painful to die.

This plague was called "the plague", and it was extremely contagious. People with rashes and those without rashes could catch it within half a day if they stayed together.

"Help! Help! Don't lock us up, please find a doctor!" The sick people were locked in a separate shelter, clapping the door with both hands and shouting.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." A six-year-old girl, half of the skin on her neck was rotten, she couldn't bear it. He stretched out his hand to grab it, but was grabbed by his mother.

"Don't grab it, don't grab it with your hands. There will be a way. The officials didn't want us. His Majesty will find a doctor to treat us..." The sallow and emaciated woman squatted on the ground, holding her young son in her arms.

They prayed that His Majesty would give them some more doctors like soup.

The doctors only came to a few, packed them tightly, carried the medicine box, applied medicine and boiled soup for everyone, and treated them for a few days, but they had no clue at all. Stop the spread, but more than half of the doctors who came for diagnosis and treatment were infected with the plague, and were forced to stay in the refuge, waiting for the arrival of death with them.
