Chapter 862 General Agni's Next Wife (40)
"Those who have signs of the disease, I have already sent someone to secretly pick them up." Makino said after being silent for a while.
"This is for most people to survive!" Shaking his hand, Xia Qiu could feel the sense of loss and powerlessness in Makino's tone, and he comforted him immediately.
"I hope so."
People who don't know are still living happily, but all the responsibilities and pressures are on Makino and the others.
And this kind of seriousness has been spreading into the city lord's mansion.
The fat and white city lord's smiling face disappeared, and he lost a lot of weight, with deep worry in his brows.
"General, the situation has deteriorated again." He said solemnly, and took Mu Ye and Xia Qiu to his backyard.
The backyard was empty, the city lord's wives, concubines and children had all been transferred away, and the houses were filled with the country gentry and ordinary people infected with the disease.
The strict guard covered half of his face with a cloth and stood guarding outside the courtyard with a weapon in his hand.
Looking inside through the courtyard door, there is continuous rain. There are people watching the rain sitting on the floor at the door, with sallow complexions, and coughing from time to time so that their bodies are distorted. Blood spilled from the corner of the mouth.
despair, dull,
"Mugwort and quicklime can only be used for prevention and control, and peach root water is not very useful." The city lord whispered.
Looking at the situation inside, Xia Qiu was also silent.
It is said to be a blockade, but in fact the people inside have no hope of being rescued at all. Being locked up here is a sentence of death.
"Where's that horse dealer Ah San, I have something to ask him." Mu Ye said.
Holding an umbrella, the city lord nodded and walked in the front.
After walking two more courtyards, the city lord gave some instructions to the guards, and the group took shelter from the rain in a pavilion near the courtyard.
The whole backyard was filled with the smell of Artemisia annua and vinegar, and the rain washed the ground, creating a good space for the wanton infection of the disease.
Ah San, the horse dealer, soon followed the guards. His body was already very weak, and he needed the crutches in his hand to support him when he walked.
Xia Qiu looked at Ah San carefully. Judging from his body shape, he was originally very capable, but now it is obvious that the epidemic has turned his body into a weak shell...
Makino asked Ah San carefully about the horses he sold. At first Ah San refused to admit it, but later he heard that the horses were infected with the disease, so he confessed honestly.
The disease did spread from the place where Ah San lived, and because of the cold, this batch of horses arrived in Liaocheng, stayed in the stables and did not send them away.
It seemed that the source of the disease had been found, so Makino took Xia Qiu to the west city where Ah San lived.
The small half of the west city was already empty, and before they got close to Ah San's residence, they could smell the stench all over the sky.
In fact, there is no need to go in and look again, these signs have proved everything.
After pouring oil on it, Makino isolated the area and threw the fire over.
Under the rain, the fire spread all over the sky.
The panicked people and the soldiers in armor stood in front of the fire, their faces blushing.
"General."
Back at the General's Mansion, peach branch water, annua ash, and white vinegar lavender were all done, but Makino remained silent.
"You're tired, take a rest." From last night until now, Makino had never slept with his eyes closed.
"I'm not sleepy. Is there any good news from the doctor?" Mu Ye asked.
The doctors in Liaocheng have already been gathered together to study the disease and try to get a cure as soon as possible.
Shaking his head, Xia Qiu poured a cup of tea from the table.
"Have a glass of water."
Makino's eyes were already bloodshot, and Xia Qiu dripped some spirit spring into the tea.
