days of being forced

Chapter 104

The plague covered about a dozen cities. After Gu Xingzhi found out where the prince was, he took a long way to solve the most remote city first.

There were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, Gu Xingzhi showed his badge and walked in.

The city was in a mess, the floods broke the embankments, the houses were washed away, the brick walls collapsed on the street, the beams fell, and the water under their feet reached their calves. The inside is completely numb, and the smell in the air is extremely bad. From time to time, the sound of people vomiting is heard, and these people are believed to be infected with the plague.

Jiang Ning was holding his nose and couldn't bear the smell earlier, but seeing the appearance of these victims along the way, he didn't have time to think about it, his eyes were filled with pain: "Cousin, what should we do now? These people even I don’t even have a stutter, and if this continues, I will die.”

"I don't know how the disciples are doing."

They left in a hurry, and Jiang Ning only had time to tell the apprentices in the house to pay on credit first, let them find their own fathers, get some medicinal materials first, and buy rice noodles and other things in large quantities.

"Don't worry, it will take some time for them to prepare the supplies, and they should be here soon." These apprentices he taught are better than their peers in kung fu, and some of them who were originally not good enough were fooled by him Well, what he taught was real skills, and those fathers naturally became more and more respectful to him, and their work efficiency was extremely high.

"Now let's go find the people in charge in the city and ask about the situation in these places." Gu Xingzhi said.

"Well, good." Jiang Ning nodded in response.

After walking a few steps, looking at the bad-smelling flood mixed with bad vomit under his feet, Gu Xingzhi lowered his body a little and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

Jiang Ning could always accurately feel Gu Xingzhi's kindness to him, and there was a slight smile on his face at the moment. He stretched his arms and lay on Gu Xingzhi's back, and Gu Xingzhi carried him steadily.Jiang Ning asked curiously: "Will I also be infected with the plague here?"

He wasn't afraid, his cousin could always cure him, but he was just a little curious, after all, the environment here was really terrible.

"No, your body will not be infected by ordinary viruses now."

The original county government office was also flooded, and there was no one inside. Gu Xingzhi had no choice but to investigate with his spiritual sense. It turned out that these people all went to a tower on a higher ground, which was well preserved and was not washed away by the flood. .

When he arrived at the ground, Gu Xingzhi put Jiang Ning down and asked the yamen servant: "Where is the magistrate here?"

This person is very imposing at first glance, now that something happened here, it is normal for a nobleman to come, the yamen servant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly said: "Please come here, sir, your lord is upstairs."

Gu Xingzhi was not in a hurry, and asked him about the situation in the county along the way.The yamen servant didn't hide it: "Now everyone is not allowed to go out of the city, and most of the city has been infected with the plague. Under such circumstances, the rest of us should not be far from being infected."

Speaking of this, a trace of despair flashed across the face of the yamen servant, and then he accepted his fate. The city was closed, and they couldn't survive. No one believed that anyone would survive this plague.

"How did the emperor arrange the supplies and the imperial physician?"

"The imperial doctor? We didn't come to the imperial doctor here, but someone sent some medicinal materials and prescriptions. I think the imperial doctor should be in another city. As for the food, there are not many people who share it with us. , and there are tens of thousands of desolate people outside the city, there are not many left." After all, the rice noodles can't just be eaten by the people in the city, and there are not many farmers in the surrounding area, and there are other places to escape. of.

Gu Xingzhi nodded, and at the last moment when he went upstairs, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Dare to ask your nobleman?"

"National Division."

As soon as the words fell, the person had already arrived upstairs, and the county magistrate who was sitting on the top also heard this sentence and rushed over to greet him. Although this country's teacher was unclear, he was not the county magistrate who could provoke him. of.

Ignoring the other party's series of flattering and tempting words, Gu Xingzhi took out the token to prove his identity.Although he is a national teacher, he still can't let the whole world know what he looks like. It is very important to have a badge when going out.

"The emperor sent me to check the situation here, and treat the plague by the way."

"Cure... cure the plague?" The county magistrate was a little surprised, and suddenly hoped that the other party, as a national teacher, should have some real skills, but it has been a long time since the plague began, and the court has not made efforts. He didn't let everyone drink the medicinal soup at the beginning.

But in the end, those who got sick still had vomiting and diarrhea, and the situation did not get better.

Gradually, the replacement of the prescription disappeared, and the city gate was closed. He knew in his heart that it was over for them.Even the imperial doctor can't cure it, how can the national teacher, who pretends to be a ghost, can do it.It has to be said that everyone's first impression of the title of national teacher is definitely alchemy, and saying some so-called advanced formulas to pretend to be gods and ghosts has no effect.

Gu Xingzhi said, "Yes."

"Then, does the Master of the National Teacher have a solution now?" The county magistrate still refused to give up.

"Not yet." Gu Xingzhi said, "Later, you send someone to take me down to have a look around. The medicinal materials and rice noodles should be delivered in a few days, so please pay attention to receiving them."

The county magistrate responded one by one, regardless of other things, just because the national teacher brought medicinal materials and food, he had to thank him, and no one would want to live until the real end.At the same time, he also ordered the yamen servants to obey Gu Xingzhi's words: "In addition to the yamen servants of the yamen itself, there are also some people who have not been infected. They help in cooking porridge and distributing them on weekdays. Or tell them to do it."

"En." Gu Xingzhi didn't stay long, and directly called someone to take him outside.

These people stopped in the building and had nothing to do. For a while, many people covered their faces and followed, especially ordinary people, who could not read big characters and were more likely to be brainwashed by imperial power and divine power. After hearing that Gu Xingzhi was a national teacher, Even more subconsciously, he felt that this was sent by the heavens to save them. Instead of hiding in the building like this, it would be better to stay with the national teacher.

Gu Xingzhi was a little surprised by a string of people following behind him, but he didn't care. The more people who watched, the more spiritual power he could get. He took out a few bottles directly: "The pill inside here Take the medicine first, it can protect you from being infected by the plague outside."

The people standing in the front row almost couldn't believe their eyes. They remembered that when the Master of the State Teacher came in, he obviously didn't have anything in his hands, and these things couldn't fit so much in his sleeves. , These medicine bottles seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Why, don't you?" Gu Xingzhi said.When he was preparing to come here, he decided that he would not hide his differences anymore. In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is easier for deified figures to gain pious beliefs. Ordinary people are different from those high-ranking officials. Those with power will negotiate terms with him , and the people will only respect and fear him, and it is not certain that some people will worship him at home.

"Yes, yes." Someone reached out to pick it up excitedly, fingers trembling, Gu Xingzhi handed over the medicine bottle, but saw several people knelt down in front of him, shouting: "Miracle, this is a miracle, the country!" Master Shi is a person sent from heaven, no, Master Guoshi is a natural god, yes, we are all saved, saved, we are saved."

These people's faces were flushed, their eyes were filled with frantic excitement, and some tears even leaked from the corners of their eyes.

The rest of the people who hadn't seen the previous scene were all at a loss. What happened suddenly?And the county magistrate who was standing obliquely behind and ready to send the master of the country did not miss this scene. They could see clearly that these medicines appeared out of thin air.

"Okay, let's all get up, we have to see how the people outside are doing, and if we meet people who are not infected, we will also feed them one." Gu Xingzhi walked out directly after finishing speaking.

The kneeling person felt up, wiped away his tears, and then excitedly told the rest of the people who hadn't seen what he had seen before. Suddenly, the eyes of everyone looking at Gu Xingzhi changed instantly.Thinking of what Gu Xingzhi said just now, he hurriedly followed without daring to go too far ahead. A lot of well-behaved people didn't even dare to say a word, and no one wanted to make a sound to break the sacred atmosphere.

The county magistrate and others also paid attention to it and followed behind.

Most of the houses in the city have collapsed, and most of the ground is flooded with water. Therefore, the victims are all outside, lying directly on the fallen buildings, so as not to be soaked in the water.

These people are so hungry that they don't have much strength to move.

Gu Xingzhi stepped forward and put his hand on a woman's wrist to feel the pulse. He actually has a elixir that can directly cure this poison, but this elixir is too untargeted. Gu Xingzhi also wants to try what he has learned in this world. How is his medical skill.After looking at several people in a row, Gu Xingzhi had some direction in his mind.

The county magistrate looked at his face and asked cautiously: "Is there a way for the master to detoxify this poison?"

Everyone looked at him eagerly.

"En." Gu Xingzhi nodded slightly: "With some ideas, it should be no problem."

Immediately, everyone cheered uncontrollably, and even the eyes of the person who had been lying lifeless on the tiles and let Gu Xingzhi feel his pulse lit up with a gleam of light.When everyone's voices stopped, Gu Xingzhi said: "The most important thing now is to save the lives of these people. They haven't eaten for a long time. Is there still food in the city?"

The county magistrate nodded hesitantly: "Yes, but not too much. If you cook porridge for everyone, it may not last for three days before it will be gone." And they have actually stopped feeding these plague-stricken people There is no way, human nature is such that the untainted people around him will not agree to him handing over the food, and he is also reluctant.

People infected with the plague will die sooner or later, so it is better to leave a little hope for them who are still doing well.

"Enough." Gu Xingzhi said: "Now you go and carry the only people who are still alive in various places in the city to a place without sewage and put them there. People went to cook porridge and feed them. After about two or three days, people will bring in food one after another.”

After hearing this, the county magistrate subconsciously looked at the people around him, but saw that those people seemed to be looking at real gods, and they didn't have the slightest objection to Gu Xingzhi's words.He twitched his eyebrows, hurriedly agreed, and then arranged for someone to do it as soon as possible.

These people who can't eat enough on weekdays seem to suddenly have strength all over their bodies, and their eyes are full of hope. Every time they save a person, they tell them with full enthusiasm that they came down from the sky to save them. Regarding the matter of the Master of the State Teacher, Gu Xingzhi described Gu Xingzhi in such a beautiful way that Gu Xingzhi, who accidentally heard it, couldn't help being silent.There is also the appearance of the development of the congregation, just like the brain-destroyed and evil ones seen in the script.
