In the early morning, the south of Anhui was filled with fog, and the sticky and damp feeling came into the nose along with the rotten smell. The deserted streets were dead silent, and the notices that fell on the side of the road were blown by the wind, revealing the words on them.

——That was the notice issued by the government asking residents not to go out as much as possible, to clean up frequently, and to beware of the spread of the epidemic.

A gray-haired mouse ran into the street. The mouse's eyes were abnormally red, and the fur on its body was missing here and there, revealing its ugly skin underneath.

The mouse looked left and right, and finally got into a mouse hole left on the wall of the courtyard. The people inside quickly discovered the existence of the mouse and screamed, and finally swept the dead mouse body out of the door.

The corpse soon attracted mosquitoes to hover over it.

A sound of orderly footsteps sounded from the street and slowly approached. The heavily armed soldiers cleaned up the rat's body and threw it into the cloth bag they carried with them. Then they knocked on the door and handed a new notice to the people inside.

The residents who opened the door looked at the soldiers who were tightly wrapped in the ground in front of them, and then looked down at the notice in their hands.

The soldiers left quickly, and they took their things to a station in the outskirts.

Different from the eerie silence in the city, the outskirts of the garrison was surrounded by an empty courtyard. The soldiers took their things to the right rear of the garrison, where the fire was shining.

The cloth bag was thrown into the flames, and the 'Thunderbolt' flame exploded, and the orange light reflected on them, but they couldn't feel any warmth.

At the same time, the incineration site on the left rear was not used for burning sundries. The relatives of the deceased patients were tightly wrapped, but their cries still pierced the sky.

What was burning in the flames were corpses.

The guarding soldiers stopped the people who were about to throw themselves into the fire, and their hearts were heavy.

In the huge courtyard, dying patients can be seen everywhere. They were placed in open rooms. A doctor walking through one of them was suddenly grabbed by the hem of his clothes. When he looked down, the patient's face had begun to rot, and his eyes were blind God, only with some strength in his hand, he begged:

"Doctor, help me..."

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the sockets of his eyes, exhausted the last bit of strength, his fingertips slipped from the fabric, the doctor looked at his dull eyes, and couldn't bear the heat in his eyes.

——When will this catastrophe end...

All are waiting hopelessly for death.

With a bang, the copper basin fell to the ground, and the water in it spilled all over the ground, breaking the dead silence.

There was the sound of uniform footsteps of soldiers outside. Boxes of supplies were brought in, and the heavy wooden boxes were placed on the ground to stir up dust.

In their eyes, it is not only a material, but also an opportunity to extend life.

Perhaps, everything will end, and there is a gleam in their eyes, like a flame that is about to be ignited.

Carriages loaded with supplies poured into southern Anhui from various counties, and the officials in charge of recording registered them one by one. After the registration of the last carriage was completed, the officials took the booklet to the government in the city. After changing hands several times, the booklet was sent to King Bin Qiyan.

After a quick scan, Qi Yan raised his eyes to look at the officials in front of him. The latter told the statistical data that the huge and continuous influx of people from various counties in the south and even in the north brought them not only the emotion but also the hope of overcoming the epidemic. determination.

"The first batch of folk doctors who rushed to southern Anhui have been arranged to station in the suburbs, but the station has been saturated. Once the princess and Master Liu arrive..."

Qi Yan was also thinking about this issue, but the south was constantly flooded, and the continuous rain caused the project to lag behind. It must be resolved as soon as possible, and the fingers that kept hitting the table suddenly stopped.

"Go and ask Master Sun to come over."

Mr. Sun is the one who is proficient in water conservancy among the officials who went to Anhui and came to deal with the floods.

"Yes."

The person who reported the situation exited the study room. After a stick of incense, Mr. Sun was covered in mud and entered the study room stepping on muddy feet. Qi Yan didn't feel disgusted at all, and even stepped forward to help Mr. Sun himself, and asked about the current situation of flood control.

It was Lord Sun who answered Qi Yan with a distressed expression, "There are many rivers in the south that are prone to flooding when the rain rises. It is because of this that it is difficult to control it. It is even more difficult when the rain continues."

The gray sky seemed to confirm Mr. Sun's words. After a thunderstorm, light rain fell not long after.

"The Qin Tianjian in the capital city has news that the rain will stop in three days."

But now they can't wait for three days, the number of patients with the disease continues to increase, and the county towns close to southern Anhui also break out of the disease, which must be controlled as soon as possible.

At this moment, the servant sent a letter into the study room. Master Sun was discussing the solution with King Bin. Seeing the servant come in rashly, he frowned. In a blink of an eye, King Bin stretched his brows after seeing the name on the letter. The study room was tense. The tense atmosphere suddenly eased.

Mr. Sun glanced at the letter secretly. The signature of "Shen Yang" on the letter made him frown. Now Princess Bin has a sign of praise for Si Daji in his heart.

What was written in the letter was that Shen Yang informed Qi Yan that they were about to arrive in southern Anhui in a day.

As the carriage continued to drive to southern Anhui, the thirteenth prince saw many patients dying of the disease on their sickbeds, and even some patients left the town knowing that they were hopeless and did not want to hurt their families, and finally fell down on the side of the road.

Such situations will appear one after another. Some do not want to implicate their families to fend for themselves, and some want to leave the town in an attempt to find a chance to survive, but they all die on the way.

The bones were blown by wind and rain in the suburbs, turning into lonely ghosts.

Every time I saw it, Qi Xiang remained silent. Originally, these dead patients should be buried in the ground, but in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading again, they had to be burned, so there were always fires flickering along the way, and finally extinguished in the rain.

The closer he was to southern Anhui, the more frequent it became. As time passed, Qi Xiang no longer felt as relaxed as before. He realized the heavy burden on his body and understood his own powerlessness.

Qi Xiang couldn't fall asleep every night, and when he closed his eyes, all he saw were those plague patients who died on the roadside or on the sickbed with rotten faces, and those who were still alive and had dim eyesight.

At this time, Qi Xiang would always come to Shen Yang's house without saying a word, just stay so quietly, Shen Yang was well aware of his strangeness, and stayed with him through the nights.

On this day, they passed a small town, and the people in the town lined the road to welcome them. Looking at the long queue of carriages seemed to see hope.

They stopped to rest, and the accompanying imperial physicians and doctors conducted routine checkups on the people in the town.

Mr. Liu arranged manpower to guide the doctors in the town with ease, and distributed notices to let the people know how to prevent the epidemic. Under the influence of Shen Yang, the accompanying imperial doctors and doctors knew more about scientific epidemic prevention and admired Shen Yang more and more.

From the towns that the carriage passed, the impact would also affect the nearby towns. Huge supplies and many private doctors then flooded into southern Anhui, where the epidemic was most severe, or joined Shen Yang's convoy.

Now they are proficient in coping with it. They checked the residents of the small town in one morning. Shen Yang packed up his things and was about to leave the hospital. The person who was knocked down groaned:

"Ouch, my waist——" It was an old man who fell down, and he seemed unable to stand up while holding his waist with gray temples.

Shen Yang didn't care about himself, he hurried forward to help the old man up, "Are you okay?"

"It's all right, my old bones can still hold on." The old man raised his head and looked at Shen Yang.

But just this one glance, Shen Yang was completely stunned.

The old man patted his clothes and moved around. He didn't look like he couldn't stand up just now. Seeing Shen Yang froze in place, he thought he was frightened by him. The old man felt a little guilty. He didn't expect that the child looked clever, but actually so simple.

"Son, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

As he spoke, the old man patted Shen Yang's shoulder. Almost instantly, hot tears overflowed from Shen Yang's eyes. The familiar appearance made him speechless. words.
