Chapter 95 The Plague Outbreak
Everyone is busy...
Mrs. Qiu and her fourth aunt together took their own people to boil water and make porridge...
The guards, holding sticks in their left hands and swords in their right hands, stood solemnly on both sides to maintain order on the scene, with everyone's safety as the top priority.
Shi Yanzheng led a team of people to lead the refugees who had received water to other places to avoid being crowded at the foot of the mountain.
Too many people can easily cause riots.
…
Maybe it was the guards' bright swords that frightened the refugees, or maybe it was everyone's patience and gentleness that made them feel at ease.
Until dark, the foot of the mountain remained in an orderly state.
There were so many people that it was too late to boil the water, so everyone gave the water they carried to the refugees first.
As for the porridge, give each person a spoonful, no more, otherwise they will run out of food.
Mrs. Qiu and her fourth aunt's hands were so sore that they couldn't lift them up.
The guards also felt their soles of their feet hurt from standing there.
In fact, they have shifts.
Xiao Shitou's mother hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to step forward and said, "Shall I help?"
I thought I would be rejected, but my fourth aunt said cheerfully: "That's great, old lady, I can't hold it anymore, come on, come on, change the shift, let everyone take a breather."
Jiang Yu looked at the gradually harmonious atmosphere among everyone and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Jiang Yao, who never came back, worried her.
Jiang Yao was beyond her range of perception. If she hadn't just upgraded, she would even wonder if Jiang Yao had fainted somewhere.
…
Shi Yanzheng, who had finally rested, was sitting on a rock, staring into the distance in a daze.
Shi Xiaoxin stepped forward and followed his gaze.
They are two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The slightly older boy held two bowls of porridge and handed them to his younger brother cheerfully. The younger brother took the porridge and smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes.
"Thinking about my second brother?"
Shi Yanzheng: "...you said, where do people go after they die?"
"How do I know? I'm not dead."
Shi Yanzheng: "..."
Shi Xiaoxin continued: "But I think if it was the second brother, he would become a god in the sky. Maybe it was the second brother who begged me to save us..."
Shi Yanzheng: ...I always feel like I’m coaxing a child.
"So, instead of sighing here, why don't you go find your husband and ask him in person." By the way, it can also enhance your relationship.
These words successfully diverted Shi Yanzheng's attention: "...but she's not here."
Shi Xiaoxin: "Then wait until Mr. comes back and look for him!"
"oh."
Shi Xiaoxin scratched his head: Brother, you are so stupid, how could you marry a sister-in-law?
"I'm going to change my shift."
Shi Xiaoxin waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."
After Shi Yanzheng walked away, Shi Xiaoxin looked at the two teenagers in the distance and sighed deeply.
Second brother, you must be protecting us in heaven, right?
Actually, I miss you too.
…
"Everyone, pack up immediately and prepare to set off."
This was the first thing Jiang Yao said after coming back.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started packing their luggage without asking any questions.
Along the way, they have long since learned to trust and obey.
"Sister, what happened?"
Jiang Yu, Shi Yanzheng and others gathered around.
Lin Changsheng also carefully handed over a small bowl of warm water.
Jiang Yao moistened her chapped lips. What she said this time was more than she could hold in ten or eight court sessions.
After a pause, Jiang Yao said: "The plague has broken out, and the cities to the west of Zhanzhou have begun to burn corpses in large numbers.
I went to the top of the mountain specially and saw a large number of refugees coming here. I estimated that the plague would spread here in less than two days.
I also visited the Jiaheng Pass area, and there were many refugees gathered around, but there were also a lot of troops.
It's definitely not possible to break in forcefully. I can only teleport people there, but I can only send less than a hundred people there in one day. With so many of us, two days is not enough."
Mr. Feng: "So what do you mean?"
"Go south!" Jiang Yao said and took out the map provided by the system.
When Mr. Feng saw the colorful map, he was stunned for a moment and took a few more glances at the parts outside the Tianyou Continent.
Jiang Yao: "Let's go all the way south, and then take the waterway north to Anzhou!"
Hearing this, Mr. Feng asked doubtfully: "Forgive Feng for being presumptuous, but do you have any reason why you must go to Anzhou?"
It's no wonder that Mr. Feng has this question. According to the current situation, he can't be taken in by the Chu State through the normal procedures. So since he went south, wouldn't it be better to find a place to stay on the coast directly?
Why do we have to go north to Anzhou?
Not to mention where to get so many ships, let’s just say that the weather at sea is unpredictable and there are often bandits.
This move is really puzzling.
Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu looked at each other.
Why do you have to go to Anzhou?
That's because the information provided by Shia once recorded that there were traces similar to the appearance of modern humans on the Anju side.
They want to find out if there is a way to return to modern times.
Another point is that Anzhou was relatively stable at least before the entire continent was invaded by foreign enemies.
Jiang Yao: "We have reasons why we have to go, but for now we are going south. After the situation is settled, my two sisters can go to Anzhou alone."
Mr. Feng thought that Jiang Yao and the others were going their separate ways after going south, so he quickly explained: "Sir, Feng has no such intention..."
Jiang Yao waved her hand to interrupt Mr. Feng's explanation: "Mr. Feng also misunderstood what I meant. I mean, after we all settle down, we can find an opportunity to go to Anzhou to deal with the affairs of our sisters.
At that time, if you are free, you can go together.
Or we may find an opportunity to go to Anzhou after we have settled down. After all, Anzhou will be a relatively stable place in the future."
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, everyone discussed some things and went about their business.
After the team was assembled, the nearby refugees also received news that the plague was coming.
There were also those who arrived late and went straight to the cave to get water without caring about anything else.
The troops looked at it and paid no attention.
Everyone has tried their best to do what they can. I hope these people can find a way out in this troubled world!
…
When we set off again, the team has changed.
The non-staff personnel were finally fully integrated, and the refugees who joined later became new non-staff personnel.
There are also more than ten carts, which are used to transport grain in the cave.
Behind the team, there were scattered refugees following.
…
"Sanxi, be good and bear with me. Mom will help you pick up the blisters."
"Well, mother, Sanxi doesn't hurt, wuwuwu... Sanxi doesn't hurt at all!"
Dagui screamed: "But it hurts me! Sanxi! If it doesn't hurt, could you please stop pinching my hand so hard?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Lin Xiaocao, Sanxi's mother, felt distressed and amused at the same time: "Okay, okay, it will be fine soon. Mom, go find Uncle Zhong and ask if there is any medicine. I will give you some and apply it. Once you apply it, it won't hurt anymore."
