The surname of Xuzhou Taishou is Chen, and his name is Chen Rong.When the earthquake occurred, he was looking at his newly built courtyard outside the city. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the local emperor of Xuzhou.The brick walls in the side courtyard are very expensive, and a Taoist priest who is good at geomantic omen was invited to do it.

The Taoist took a mahogany sword, picked up three pieces of paper money, and swiped up with something in his hand, and the paper money immediately burst into flames, with flames everywhere.

Chen Rong took it seriously, and was confused by the Taoism of the Taoist priest, thinking that his more than 1000 taels of silver were not in vain.

Suddenly the mountain shook, and there was a huge roar from the mountain peak.The building in the side courtyard fell down while shaking, and the glazed tiles on the eaves fell together, crushing the Taoist priest to death.

Chen Rong was lucky, and happened to be standing under a tree because he was too hot. The 200-year-old banyan tree tightly blocks the broken tiles and bricks.

He was terrified, looked at the dust all over the sky, rummaged at the base of the wall, found the Taoist priest's body, took out the bank note from him, and said, "If you want to ascend, you won't need the worldly money."

After speaking, he chanted the Great Compassion Mantra and walked outside.

There was an earthquake in the city, countless casualties, and overcrowded medical clinics.The bustling city of Xuzhou is like a dead city, howling all day long.The dead beggars were thrown away at will on the street, no one picked them up, and the flies hovered on the corpses for a long time, unwilling to leave.The child who lost his parents stood outside the hospital, looking at everything around him timidly, with a sallow complexion.

There is a forsythia villa in Xuzhou, and the mansion is full of people from all walks of life, the casualties are not as serious as those in the city, so they returned early.Recently, a nobleman came to the villa to live permanently. It is said that he is as beautiful as a fairy.The laughter of the daughter's family caused many sons to stop outside the Forsythia Villa, just to win the beauty's favor.

Xuzhou was in a mess, the nobleman of Lianqiao Villa was kind-hearted, he couldn't bear to see people die, so he set up a porridge shed in the city, and gave porridge there every day when the sun was high.

A drop in the bucket, uncollected corpses decayed, and the stench of corpses wrapped the main city of Xuzhou tightly.

Li Yun in Xuzhou City came back with a bowl of porridge. When he passed by a narrow alleyway, he found a dead body in the corner, hunched over, and seemed to be an old man.The rats had already eaten half of his body, his face was completely ruined, his stomach was cut open, and the internal organs gave off a foul smell, causing flies to hover around.

Li Yun hesitated for a moment, coughed twice, and passed quickly, covering his mouth and nose.

There is an old woman in his family, Mrs. Wang, who is already in her sixties, and her eyesight is getting blurred.The rice noodles sold in the shops in the city became more and more expensive, and poor people like them couldn't afford it anymore, so they could only go to the porridge shed in Lianqiao Villa to get porridge.

Mrs. Wang kept coughing and lay on the bed panting for breath. She supported herself and saw her son bring in a bowl of porridge.

"Mother won't eat."

Li Yun frowned deliberately, and said: "How can you not eat it, you will not eat your son if you don't eat it."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "Have you gone to the third family next door? I have been crying all afternoon."

Li Yun was silent for a while, then cheered up and said: "How can it be, eat quickly, don't starve yourself."

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Wang was only able to eat half of it.Li Yun went out with the porridge. After closing the door tightly, he gave the remaining half of the porridge to the little boy playing with the cloth bag outside the house.Xiaowa was hungry early, and after receiving the porridge, she affectionately called Li Yun "Dad" and finished the porridge.

When the child returned to the house, Li Yun looked at the bowl, fetched water from the well in the yard, flushed the bowl, and drank it into his stomach.

In less than half a month, not only did the third child next door go, but Mrs. Wang also failed to keep her life.

Li Yun endured his grief and carried Wang to his ancestral grave to bury him.In this world, there is no food, but paper money is everywhere.He walked all the way outside the city and picked up a basket of paper money.

After returning to Xuzhou, Li Yun found that the city gate was closed, and several soldiers were standing outside the gate with sabers in their hands.

"What's wrong bro?"

"The city is closed, you haven't heard of it, there is a plague."

Li Yun looked at the city gate dumbly, stepped forward and said to the soldier: "Master Bing, the villain is from Xuzhou, and he left the city today after burying his mother at home. There is still a ten-year-old child at home, please let the villain go." go in."

The soldier was already impatient, so he pushed Li Yun away, and said: "The notice has been posted a long time ago, saying that the city will be closed today, some of you here will come in and some will go out, what should we do?"

Some people wanted to say something, but the soldier chopped off his arm with a knife, and cursed: "This is the order of Chen Taishou, if you keep pestering him, don't blame the knife for being ruthless!"

He tried every means, but he still couldn't get in. Li Yun was so worried that his hair turned gray overnight.

When he was in pain, he thought of the Forsythia Villa that gave out porridge, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and ran to the Forsythia Villa.

Forsythia Villa sits on Anshan Mountain not far from Xuzhou City, and it takes an hour or two to go back and forth. Li Yundan leans on his feet and arrives at Forsythia Villa after dark.

He knelt down and begged, but the guard at the door just wouldn't let him in.

There is no way, there are nobles in the house, and their guards have to work.

Li Yun licked his head one by one, and shouted: "The villain Li Yun, people from Xuzhou, can't enter the city because of the plague, I beg you, please help me! Help me!"

Xu Shi was too exhausted, Li Yun kowtowed, dizzy, and sat by the door.His tears and blood were all drained, and he walked towards Xuzhou City with his tired body.If this method does not work, there are always other ways.

After they left, there were hurried footsteps in the house.The woman was wearing an indigo-colored blouse, her hair was fastened with a hosta, and she asked anxiously, "But you came from Xuzhou City?"

The guards looked at each other, and after talking about the matter, the woman frowned and said: "Now Lianqiao Villa cannot protect itself, and you are really protecting yourself by not letting him in. But there are thousands of solutions to this matter, and you chose the best solution." The cold-blooded kind."

"Princess Yi'an please make amends."

Yan Zhen asked someone to bring about two catties of white flour, gave it to the guards, and said, "Give it to that man, and see if you can send him into the city with lightness kung fu. Don't waste your time, go quickly."

The guard agreed, and chased down the mountain with the white noodles.

As soon as he chased, he chased directly to the bottom of the mountain, and he didn't even see a single person. In desperation, he put the rice noodles on a certain tree at random, and returned to the Forsythia Villa.

Yan Zhen asked, the guards were afraid of being punished for both crimes, so they only replied that they had sent people and food into the city together, so Yan Zhen was relieved.

Li Yun didn't disappear out of thin air. He couldn't stand steadily on the way down the mountain.There was a man sitting on the tree, dressed in black and wearing a mask. He was not tall, and his clothes were too big. A very clear plum-shaped birthmark on the collarbone could be seen.

"You want to go to town?"

Li Yun nodded, took out a piece of silk cloth from his pocket, said: "This can be exchanged for cloth in the city, about [-] copper coins, and I ask the strong man to help the villain."

Wuhen took the silk cloth, without checking whether it was worth it, he carried the person on his shoulders, and flew down the mountain.

Xuzhou city was still littered with corpses. Li Yun waited for a while before realizing that he had already entered the city. He was about to thank the strong man when he turned his head to see that he was gone.

Li Yun didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly towards the house.Running and shouting all the way, his little baby's nickname is Zhengzheng, and the first time he walked was looking at the little kite in the sky.

"Zhengzheng! Zhengzheng!"

The wooden door was pushed open with a creak, but his child was not inside.

Li Yun's hands were trembling in anxiety, he glanced here and there.The eldest son of the third family next door came back just now and asked, "Brother Yun, what's wrong?"

"The kite is gone!"

The two called their relatives to look for them all over the city. They said it was a plague, so they didn't dare to wander around. They walked for an hour before returning home, but they still didn't find anyone.

Li Yun returned home in a daze. He didn't drink a drop of water all day. First, he sent his mother away, then when the city was closed, he went to Lianqiao Villa to kowtow, and lost news of his daughter.

Somewhere, there seemed to be something urging him to scoop up a bowl of water to drink.

Li Yun looked at his old well, his knees were so stiff, and he walked towards it step by step.

The bucket had disappeared, Li Yun looked into the well from a distance, and opened his mouth wide.In his consciousness, he seemed to be shouting, but in reality, he just knelt down slowly while holding onto the well.

Zhengzheng didn't wait for him to come back, wanted to drink some water, but couldn't move himself, and when he was holding onto the rope to pull the bucket, he lost strength and let the bucket bring him into the well.

The well is shady and cool, with the back of the kite facing upwards, swinging with the bucket.

The sky was dark, and Li Yun walked in the alley in a daze. He held a wet person with a cloth towel in his arms, and his exposed fingers were already pale, without any blood.

The soldier in charge of the curfew saw him and said, "Hey, it's getting dark and there's a curfew."

Li Yun didn't seem to hear what he said, hugged the wet man, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy is here, Daddy will take you to the doctor."

"Did you hear what I said? I told him about the curfew, so I won't let you out." The soldier pushed Li Yun.

On weekdays, Li Yun might still be able to stand firm.With these repeated blows, he couldn't stand up straight, and fell straight backwards.The cloth bag fell apart, revealing the child's bloodless face and already dull eyes.

The soldier was stunned and cursed: "Didn't you hear what the prefect said? The corpses will be sent to the county government office and burned to prevent the plague from getting worse. Why are you running around with the corpses at night?"

After speaking, the soldiers were going to fetch the corpse.

Li Yun regained his energy for a moment, pushed the soldiers away, and said, "Go away! Go away!"

The soldier drew out his knife and said, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll strike! Did you hear me!"

Li Yun's eyes were about to burst, and after a loud cry, he grabbed the soldier's knife and slashed straight at the opponent's neck!

One knife after another, Li Yun didn't know how many times he slashed, but he only remembered that the blood sprayed on his face was less and less each time.

In the deserted streets, blood seems to be a very common color.

Li Yun's hands trembled slightly. He looked up and saw a bright moon hanging in the night sky, which was extraordinarily dazzling.

The morals of the world force people to be immature, Li Yun clenched his sword tightly.
