Chapter 929 The Plague

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, but felt that his arm had been pulled. Bai Xiaozi came from the side, pulled Chu Huan to the side, blocked him horizontally in front of Chu Huan, and his pupils were already showing a look of horror.

"Everything goes away." Bai Xiaozi protected Chu Huan, raised his hand and waved it, signaling the soldiers beside the child to disperse, "Don't get close to him, he..." Bai Xiaozi's lips were trembling, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

After the guards dodged, the child shrank back with a look of fear and looked timidly at the officers and soldiers around him. At this moment, someone behind the child exclaimed: "He... he hit a ghost... he was scratched by a ghost. Everyone is careful..." The person who screamed was a peasant woman, who was retreating, with a look of horror.

A few refugees came up from behind immediately, holding wooden sticks in their hands, and pointed at the child: "Beat him to death, beat him to death, he will kill people..."

Chu Huan seemed to understand something, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Blind Bai, what do you think is going on?"

"Sir, look at his arms and neck." Bai Xiaozi's voice changed a little: "Those are all traces of being caught by ghost hands. This child can't hold on for a few days..."

"What a ghost hand?" Chu Huan frowned, "He is sick..."

"Whether you are caught by a ghost or get sick, you will die." Bai Xiazi said tremblingly: "Many people will die..." Turning to look at Chu Huan, "Sir, let's leave here quickly. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time!"

The refugee waved at the child with the stick in his hand, but did not dare to approach him. The child was trembling in fear at first, with a blank look in his eyes. However, when he saw the refugees looking at him fiercely, he seemed to realize his danger. He suddenly got up from the ground, spread his legs and ran away. An older refugee had already shouted: "You can't let him go. He wants to kill many people, beat him to death, and burn him..." This man's words seemed to be a bit heavy. Many people no longer cared about asking for food from the team, followed the child and shouted and chased him.

When Chu Huan saw this scene, if he didn't care, the child would have ended up miserably and he would have to stop him. Before he had ordered, Du Fugong's voice had already been heard next to him: "Sir, you can't save him. Diving at the hands of these people may not be a relief for the child...!"

Chu Huan turned his head and saw Du Fugong standing beside him with a serious expression, frowned and asked, "Why did Mr. Du say this?"

"The so-called ghost capture is just the idea of ​​fooling the people." Du Fugong sighed softly: "But the child was affected by the plague and was terminally ill. Even if Hua Tuo was reborn, he would not survive. If I said it right, his body would quickly ulcerate and be stinking. Only when he endured great pain and torture would he die tragically... If that was the case, dying now would be a blessing."

Chu Huan's body trembled and she said in a lost voice: "Plague?"

Du Fugong carried his hands on his back, looked up at the withered sky, and sighed: "There will be a great epidemic after the great disaster... The war in the northwest was in chaos, so many people died, and many corpses could not be buried at will, but were abandoned in the wilderness and allowed to rot... Sir, you, the governor of Xiguan, are probably more difficult than all governors in the world."

Chu Huan clenched his fists and whispered: "Mr. Du means, is it a habit to have a large-scale plague?"

"It seems that it is inevitable." Du Fugong said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, after the Battle of Chuanzhong Road, there was no time to deal with the abandoned corpses. Later, a plague occurred, which lasted for a long time and killed tens of thousands of people...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Then... how did you control it later?"

"Fortunately, the Medicine King family took action, which prevented a greater catastrophe." Du Fu said justice.

"The Family of Medicine King?"

"Don't you know the Zhang family of the Medicine King?" Du Fugong said in a strange way: "That is a famous family that has been passed down from the Han Dynasty. Their ancestor Zhang Zhongjing is called the Medical Saint!"

"Ah?" When Chu Huan heard the name "Zhang Zhongjing", he immediately remembered that the two famous doctors of the Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Chu Huan had no memory, but these two people also remembered, "Zhang Zhongjing has descendants?"

Du Fugong laughed in silence, "My joking is that he not only has descendants, but also had his descendants for a time. However, he was passed down from his direct lineage of the Changmen clan. During the Wu Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's descendants were granted the title of the Yaowang Family, which has been passed down. I heard that the Yaowang Family has a strict family tradition and has a good reputation. Originally, the Zhang family lived in Nanyang. When it was in the previous dynasty, Zhang Chuji, the owner of the Yaowang Family, went to Shuzhong, which is now the Sichuan Middle Road, and fell in love with it. The family moved to Sichuan Middle School and settled in Sichuan from then on."

Chu Huan knew that Du Fugong was knowledgeable and talented. He knew the situation of the Medicine King family very well. Chu Huan didn't find it strange. He heard Du Fugong continue: "Later, Tianshu Kingdom was established in Shu, and the Zhang family was under the rule of Tianshu Kingdom. The king of Tianshu was very respectful to the Medicine King family under his rule. He granted Zhang Yiyang the title of the Heavenly Shu Kingdom's great medical officer, and gave him more rewards. However, Zhang Yiyang finally refused the reward, and he was unable to refuse his affection and retained the name of the Great Medical Officer. Later, a plague broke out in Sichuan, and it was Zhang Yiyang who led the Xinglin masters in Sichuan to block the spread of the plague...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "Sir, what big plague will happen in Xiguan today, just like the Sichuan-Chongqing in the past?"

"Actually, Du has been worried about this happening." Du Fu said: "Du often inquire about the situation in the northwest. He has not heard of a plague in the northwest for a long time. The more this happens, the more worried Du is in his heart. The plague is coming suddenly and spreads rapidly, and has not erupted for a long time. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the terror of the disease and epidemic is extraordinary...!"

Chu Huanqi said: "Sir, did you expect a plague in the northwest?"

"Du has no hope, but... the people of Xiliang rushed into the pass, and Du did not think that they would properly bury the dead soldiers and people." Du Fugong said with a serious expression: "As long as the post-war corpses are not properly handled, then a plague will inevitably occur. Sir, we have also seen many corpses exposed to the roadside in the past few days. Even if the corpses in some places are buried in concentrated areas, they are very careless, and even the corpses cannot be completely buried. Sir, if there is no epidemic in this situation, you will see a ghost."

"Sir, since the Medicine King Family has experience in dealing with the epidemic, I immediately sent someone back to the capital and handed the memorial to the court and beg the court to mobilize the Medicine King Family to the northwest immediately to help the Northwest overcome this difficulty." Chu Huan knew that once the epidemic occurred and could not be effectively controlled, the spread of the plague would be extremely terrifying. I am afraid that it will not take long, and the entire Northwest will become a hell.

Du Fugong shook his head and said, "I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to remove the family of the Medicine King!"

"Oh?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Why is this?"

"Because the Medicine King's Family has disappeared." Du Fugong sighed: "After the Tianshu Kingdom was defeated by the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, the Medicine King's Family also disappeared with the demise of the Tianshu Kingdom. Since then, no one has heard about the Medicine King's Family again...!"

According to Chu Huan's instructions, the team took some dry food from the car and distributed it to the people blocking the road. At this time, it was already dark. Xuanyuan Sheng came over to ask Chu Huan to leave immediately and not delay on the road. Chu Huan ordered everyone to continue rushing. Thinking that Su Niang's hand was caught and got on Su Niang's carriage. Seeing that Ru Lian had found a clean cloth towel and bandaged Su Niang's hand.

Su Niang frowned slightly. When she saw Chu Huan getting into the car, her eyebrows were slightly relaxed. Chu Huan sat down beside Su Niang and asked softly: "Does your hands still hurt?"

Su Niang heard Chu Huan's soft words, and her heart warmed up, shook her head and said, "It's okay, 2... Master, don't worry..." She thought of something and asked, "Where did that child go? Did you scare him just now? He suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and I... I was shocked, so I pushed him down with my hand, but... but he grabbed my hand... He fell from the car, was he injured?"

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, he's good." But he sighed in his heart. Perhaps as Du Fugong said, for the child who was already terminally ill, he should leave early and get rid of it early.

He is just worried about how he will deal with it once the plague on Xiguan Road really spreads rapidly in the future. Everything in Xiguan is messy, and Chu Huan is already a little upset along the way. Now, with the plague that has already appeared, I just hang a sharp sword on Chu Huan's head again, which makes Chu Huan feel a little anxious.

After nightfall, the guards were even more vigilant. The carriage was in the center and surrounded by guards. They were all holding the reins of the horse and pressing the other hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to deal with the accident at any time. Although it was already late May, the night wind in the northwest was still a little cold, especially the fine sand rolled up in the wind, which was really painful to hit the face.

Xuanyuan Shengcai sent several scouts to Qingtang County to report the news. In the middle of the night, Chu Huan heard Xuanyuan Shengcai's voice coming from the front: "Sir, there is Qingtang County in front, and it seems that someone is waiting at the gate of the city."

Chu Huan urged him to move forward, and arrived in front of the team. He saw a light of fire in the distance. In the fire, he saw a city of earth. The city project was not high. Just like most cities in the northwest, it was built of earth and stone. The city gate was made of giant trees and the gate hole was not high. The northwest was not as high as that in the Guanxi area. The city walls were tall and sturdy. In the Guanxi area, ordinary small county towns were much smaller than those in the Guanxi area.

"Governor General, Governor General, where is Governor General?" A voice came, and a light of fire had quickly moved here. "Zhou Renkang, the county magistrate of Qingtang County, did not know that Governor General General was coming, and he was in a misfortune. Please forgive me!"

Behind the Zhou County Magistrate, a large group of people were the county magistrate, the head of Bo, the six-house court, the school officials inspected the school, and other officials in the county. When they arrived nearby, they all fell to the ground.

"All up, I'm disturbing you." Chu Huan held the horse's reins and sat on the horse, raising his hand to ask the officials to get up.

"Don't disturb, don't disturb, the Governor General is here, and the Penghuan is shining." The magistrate Zhou hurriedly said: "After the notice from the superiors, the lower officials have vacated their humble house and sent someone to clean them up. They also asked the Governor General and his wife to stay in the humble house!"
