After only one day's rest, Xu Hang took the medicine apprentice and the old master to the suburbs to check.

The places where the bodies were found include abandoned earth temples in the outskirts, farmland, and mines... without exception, they are places that are sparsely populated or only poor people go.

They went over the mountains and even went to the fields to explore, but they didn't gain much.

At noon, although the weather was beginning to approach autumn, it was still uncomfortably hot.

The medicine apprentice fetched water from the well and drank several mouthfuls to quench his thirst before continuing on.

Xu Hang saw that the vegetable field in front of him was deserted, and the leaves were all rotten in the field, so he pointed it out: "Did the owner of this field also die from the plague?"

The medicine apprentice looked at it: "It should be. These vegetables are already ripe, and they should have been harvested long ago. They don't seem to be unwanted, but now they are rotting in the field. It must be because no one took them away."

After walking two steps forward, the medicine apprentice seemed to have stepped on something. He raised his foot and saw a dead mouse. He kicked it out in fright: "Oh my god! What a bad luck!"

His Wuying kick went far away, and the mouse's corpse fell on the ridge of the field. Xu Hang glanced at it, and there were also large festers on the mouse's body, so he frowned.

This mouse also got the plague?

After thinking for a while, his body swayed suddenly and he almost fell down. The medicine apprentice reached out and quickly supported him: "Master! Are you alright?"

Knowing that this is a drug addict, Xu Hang shook his head: "It's okay, it may be a little hot, let's go here first today, let's go back first."

Seeing his frail body, the medicine apprentice hurriedly led the way with his load on his shoulders: "The head of the family, you have to make up for yourself, it's unnecessary to be so weak..."

When I returned to Heming Medicine Hall, I happened to see Chanyi who came to get medicine for his mother, and the medicine apprentice yelled: "Sister Chanyi, hurry up and bring the Huoxiang and wormwood to the master!"

Chanyi turned her head, looked at Xu Hang's face, and nervously went to get the heat-relieving soup.But when I turned around, the person disappeared.

Then he went to knock on the door of the inner room, Xu Hang locked himself inside to get an injection, and found that there was only the last one left, he felt a little annoyed, so he perfunctorily said to her: "I'm sweating, change clothes."

After destroying the things, he came out: "I'm fine." Taking up the tea bowl in Chanyi's hand and drinking it, he said, "Nurse is not in good health again? You have come to get medicine more and more recently gone."

When Chanyi heard him ask, she sighed: "Mother is old, I'm afraid it's... It took only a few days, and the coffin was ready. People are also confused, and they often say my name and my name." Where's your name!"

As he spoke, he wiped away a few tears.

This girl is young and mature, she will not lose her sense of proportion easily, even if she is sad, she has restraint.In other words, at the bedside of a long-term illness, I looked away from the life and death of my relatives, and felt that it was better for the elderly to suffer while alive than to go to bliss early.

Xu Hang drank a few sips of milk from his nanny when he was young, and he always took care of him when he drank water. He said, "When the day really comes, you can come to me and let me personally... give the nanny a gift."

"Hey! That's natural!" Chanyi smiled with tears, "It's my good fortune to meet the head of the family."

Blessing, Xu Hang was taken aback when he heard this.

He has been a doctor for many years, and indeed many patients have said similar words, but he never took it to heart, thinking that it was nothing more than a compliment.He feels that he is the kind of person who is unlucky, without father, mother, relatives, or reason. According to Chanyi's words, is it because his blessings have been reported to others that he is so lonely?

Is it a blessing to meet Duan Yelin?

Thinking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly, what a blessing, Duan Yelin was able to meet him, it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes, right?

Returning to the inner room again, he spread out a pen and paper, pondered for a moment, and wrote on the first stroke: "My sister Fang Fei, although I disturb you again, I have no one to turn to, and I hope I can support you again. Last time The Western medicine morphine I was looking for has now bottomed out..."

There is a rustling sound of writing. After finishing, fold it, stuff it into an envelope, write the address, stamp it, seal it, put it in a drawer, and wait for someone to deliver the letter later.

Fortunately, Gu Fangfei is already on his way back to Hezhou, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to survive.

Morphine is really useful, one injection, like leaving the soul, freed from the pain of the body.

But he also knew that morphine was more addictive than opium.Using him to quit opium is no less than drinking poison to quench thirst.What is it to replace one addiction with another.

From one dose a day to three doses a day, it won't be long before he gets an injection every two or three hours.But he did understand why so many Chinese are addicted to opium and cannot extricate themselves.

The feeling of being in the air can really make people forget the troubles of the world.

Xu Hang hugged himself and curled up on the bed, just fell into a shallow sleep, then had nightmares again and again, dreaming of Shu City, dreaming of fire, dreaming of his father's mutilated corpse, he suddenly woke up!

Then dense pain swept from his dantian, he had a splitting headache and rolled over from the bed!

Today, the dose of morphine is too small to be suppressed.

His knee hit the ground, it must have been black and blue, Xu Hang wanted to stand up, but found that his legs couldn't use the strength, and they were painful like cramps.

"Uh... ah!"

He hit the ground heavily with the back of his head, as if he could share his pain in this way.It really hurts. Compared with drug addiction, Jin Hongchang's methods of torturing him before can be regarded as pediatrics.

His fingers were grabbing aimlessly in the air. He wanted to grab something so that he could rely on it, but when he grabbed it, it was all air.

So sad.

Can't breathe anymore.

"Ha...ha...huh..."

His chest undulated violently, was he a stranded fish, or a shrimp in a pot?

A voice suddenly came from outside: "Hey! The commander is here! The head of the house is sleeping inside. Would you like to sit down for a while?"

Duan Yelin's voice was very penetrating: "No, I'll call him, and if I continue to sleep, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Xu Hang's eyes widened suddenly.Duan Yelin, is he here?

Propping himself on the ground with his forehead, he propped himself up with great difficulty, and moved a little to the side of the bed.

Duan Yelin's footsteps approached, approached.

Xu Hang gritted his teeth, and pinched his thigh severely, and then regained consciousness, climbed on the edge of the bed with both hands, and put himself back on the bed with all his strength.

When he just wrapped himself in a quilt and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep, the door happened to be opened by Duan Yelin.

call----

Duan Yelin had originally brought sugar water to Xu Hang, but when he came in to see that he was in a deep sleep, he relaxed and went to the bed and sat down.

Xu Hang pretended to just wake up and opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Duan Yelin saw that his forehead was a little gray, so he blew for him.

"No...it's time to wake up." Under the quilt, Xu Hang still pinched the acupoints that hurt him to distract himself from the torment of drug addiction.

Duan Yelin helped him lift the quilt, and Xu Hang let go.

"The cover is so thick, isn't it afraid of getting stuffy? Look at you, you're sweating all over."

Xu Hang was afraid that he would lift his clothes, and just about to change the subject, he heard a terrible scream from outside.

Then there was the sound of knocking things over, and someone stumbled into the inner room.

"The head of the family!! The medicine apprentice!! The medicine apprentice, he got the plague!!"
