The old monk brought the witch to a remote wilderness.
He remembered what happened before.
It turns out that he and this witch are in a lover relationship.
They had a very good relationship, but later there was a change and the witch fell in love with someone else.
The old monk was angry, but he did not reveal it, but took revenge in secret.
The witch thought he didn't know it, and on the one hand he was having fun with him, he was entangled with other men.
Later, the old monk practiced a new method and took revenge.
At night, he lived with the witch, which ended up falling ill from then on and having to make a living by sucking blood.
And the appearance has become so ugly.
At that time, the old monk told the witch that he did this to revenge her and had known about her for a long time.
The witch thought the old monk was particularly sinister.
The old monk then laughed and let the witch encounter such a thing.
Several years have passed, and the old monk has calmed down a lot.
But the moment I saw the witch, I remembered everything again.
He thought again that this was his old lover after all, so he should have buried her with a grand funeral.
On the other hand, the first newspaper also began to become popular locally.
Like the people in Youzhou, those who read in the countryside also find it very new when they see the newspaper.
On that day, Xi Yu took Xu Dong to Youzhou College.
Xu Dong is already willing to come here to teach.
Xu Dong was particularly happy to see the environment of Youzhou College.
Xi Yu said: "You will be the youngest teacher at Youzhou College."
Xu Dong laughed.
And coincidentally, a teacher happened to leave his hometown if he had something to do.
Therefore, Xu Dong happened to be able to fill in the gaps.
Everyone finds it incredible that people of such an old age come here to teach.
Xi Yu told the students that they must treat Xu Dong the same as other teachers and decided not to be despised because of their young age.
Wenxuan and Dongfang Hong were also very happy to learn that Xu Dong could teach.
After all, they brought Xu Dong over.
On that day, Xi Yu was writing at home, and his servant reported that it was Guan Yu who asked for a meeting.
Guan Yu looked very anxious.
Xi Yu looked at Guan Yu with a serious expression.
"Guan Yu, what's wrong?"
Guan Yu frowned and said anxiously.
"Reported to the Prime Minister, a plague broke out in a small town, and the situation was very serious. It is said that many people fell down due to illness.
Xi Yu was shocked and widened his eyes.
"It's so serious? What should I do?"
Guan Yu said: "I hope that Song Shuwen can pass by, and he may have a way to deal with it."
Xi Yu said without hesitation: No, I want to go there myself.
His eyes were firm and he revealed a sense of determination
Guan Yu quickly dissuaded: Prime Minister, this trip is dangerous and the plague is very contagious. Why should you take risks yourself?
Xi Yu shook his head: As the prime minister, how can I retreat at this time? The people there need me.
Guan Yu sighed helplessly: But if you have three long and two short...
Xi Yu interrupted Guan Yu: "Don't worry about me, I will be careful. I have to go, it's my responsibility."
Guan Yu said with a serious look: "The people who report the information are waiting in the governor's mansion." A trace of calmness was revealed in his eyes.
Xi Yu thought for a while and decided to follow Guan Yu in person.
He thought to himself: "I must go and understand the situation myself and cannot miss any important information."
When he arrived at Guan Yu's mansion, Xi Yu saw several people reporting the news at a glance.
Guan Yu quickly introduced to everyone: "This is the Prime Minister, he is here in person."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, signaling everyone not to be nervous.
A few people quickly saluted Xi Yu.
Xi Yu frowned and asked anxiously: "What is the specific situation?"
The person who reported the news replied in panic: "The plague occurred in a small county town called Quanzhou. The first patient had a high fever and later it was transmitted to more and more people. The local county magistrate was helpless and wanted to bury the patient alive in order to prevent the spread of the virus. So I came to ask if I could do this."
Xi Yu's face became extremely serious, and he thought to himself: "How could the county magistrate come up with such a cruel idea! This is simply a careless person's life!"
Anger surged into his heart, and he raised his voice and said seriously: "It must not be like this! Isn't the county magistrate coming up with a bad idea?"
Several people looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "The county magistrate has his own difficulties, there is really nothing he can do." There was a hint of helplessness in their voices.
Xi Yu's eyes were extremely firm, and he replied firmly: "No matter what, the county magistrate cannot do this! This is an act that goes against humanity!"
At this time, he secretly decided in his heart that he must understand the situation and find a solution to the problem.
Then, Xi Yu turned to Guan Yu and said, "Let's go and have a look in person." Guan Yu nodded in agreement.
When those people heard that Xi Yu was about to come over in person, they showed a look of surprise on their faces, and a feeling of admiration surged in their hearts.
They thought to themselves: "Prime Minister Xi Yu is so brave and is really admirable to go to the epidemic area in person!"
Xi Yu looked at Guan Yu with eager eyes and urged: "Get ready quickly, time is tight." He was extremely anxious, hoping to arrive in the whole province as soon as possible to understand the specific situation of the epidemic.
Guan Yu quickly prepared two horses and stepped onto the war horse with Xi Yu.
The people who reported the news also rode horses to follow.
On the way forward, Xi Yu turned around and asked the people who reported the news: "Have you told others about this news?" A trace of concern was revealed in his eyes.
Several people quickly replied: "No, sir, we came to report it immediately as soon as we got the news."
They were a little nervous, afraid that they would do something wrong.
Xi Yu did not continue to ask questions. He was silent for a moment, his heart full of worry.
He thought to himself: "I don't know how serious the situation in the whole province is. I hope we can control the epidemic in time."
At the same time, several wives suddenly appeared in his mind, "I didn't tell them where I was going. I wonder if they would be worried?" A trace of guilt surged in his heart.
Although Xi Yu was still thinking about his wife, considering that things in the disaster area were even more important.
He let go of that worry for the time being.
When they arrived in Quanzhou, the scene in front of them made people feel sad.
Xi Yu looked at the depression and felt extremely heavy: "The situation here is probably even more serious than we imagined."
At this time, the city gates had been closed in all provinces.
Although the reason was not clearly stated, it was obviously to control the epidemic.
Xi Yu and Guan Yu looked at each other and felt the seriousness of the matter.
The soldiers guarding the gate warily asked a few people what they did.
Suddenly, he recognized the people who reported the news.
Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are here to understand the epidemic situation, please make some convenience."
His heart was full of anxiety, hoping to enter the city as soon as possible and provide help to the people.
The informant quickly pointed at Xi Yu and said loudly: "This is the Prime Minister here!"
After hearing this, the soldier showed a look of surprise on his face and he hurriedly opened the city gate.
Xi Yu and Guan Yu drove their horses into the city and saw a depressing scenery on the street.
The originally lively streets are now deserted, and most shops are closed with their doors closed.
Xi Yu looked around and sighed in his heart: "This city seems to have lost its vitality, like a dead city."
He looked at the empty streets and felt heavier in his heart.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, spinning in the air.
In the wind, Xi Yu and Guan Yu looked particularly lonely.
They walked along the street towards the county government, and everything they saw was quiet and depressed.
When they arrived at the county yamen, several people were causing trouble. They asked the yamen runners excitedly: "Why don't you let us go out of the city? We have important things!"
The yamen runner replied helplessly: "This is to prevent the plague from spreading outside."
They were also helpless, knowing that they were just executing the county magistrate's orders.
But the few people shouted anxiously: "We are not sick at all!"
However, the yamen runners still dare not take it lightly.
"This is all an order from the county magistrate, and we can only follow it."
Several people who reported the news quickly shouted: "The Prime Minister is here!"
When several yamen runners heard this, they immediately saluted respectfully.
Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and asked them to get up.
Xi Yu looked at the troublemakers and said earnestly: "Now is an extraordinary time, I hope everyone can understand."
His eyes were firm and calm.
Seeing that the prime minister said this, those people had to sigh helplessly and turn and leave.
Several yamen runners quickly let Xi Yu enter the county yamen.
Xi Yu walked into the yard and saw the county magistrate Ma Lin standing there with a frown.
At this time, several informants also quickly came to the county magistrate and said respectfully: "The Prime Minister is here."
After hearing the newsman's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Malin's eyes. He hurriedly knelt down and saluted Xi Yu.
Xi Yu quickly reached out and helped Ma Lin up and said gently: "No need to be polite."
Marin led everyone into the room.
Xi Yu sat down on the chair, looked at Ma Lin, and said, "Tell me about the specific situation."
Marin frowned and said anxiously: "The situation is really not optimistic now, and most people are more or less infected with the plague. Xiaguan is so anxious!"
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said firmly: "It is right to close the city gate now, which can prevent the plague from spreading further."
He paused for a moment and continued, "But it is absolutely undesirable to kill someone. We must do a good job of publicity so that everyone will not have any psychological obstacles."
Malin nodded quickly and agreed, and Xi Yu continued to ask: "Have you found out the source?"
Marin shook his head and replied: "It's still unclear. The first man with fever has been set up as a restricted area. Someone is taking care of him, so others cannot get close to him at will."
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and decided to go and see it in person.
Ma Lin was startled when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Absolutely not possible. Prime Minister, you have a noble status and cannot be suspected!"
But Xi Yu shook his head firmly and insisted on going.
His eyes were firm and determined.
Ma Lin looked at Xi Yu's firm expression and said helplessly: "Since that's the case, then I'll accompany you too."
So, several people rode their horses towards the village.
Along the way, the wind was blowing their clothes.
They came to a village and saw that it was particularly deserted.
Due to the emergence of several patients, many people hid at home and dared not come out.
Xi Yu looked at the empty streets and frowned.
"The situation in this village is even worse than I thought."
Marin echoed worriedly: "Yes, sir, we have to find a way to control the epidemic."
In front of Shi Dacheng's house, a yamen runner was guarding there.
When he saw Marin coming in person, he looked surprised on his face.
Ma Lin introduced Xi Yu and Guan Yu to the yamen runners, and the yamen runners quickly saluted.
Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."
Shi Dacheng's home looks particularly deserted.
Shi Dacheng was lying quietly at home, while his mother was lying in another room.
He is taken care of by another yamen runner.
The yamen runner himself felt a little uncomfortable and his face was pale.
Malin asked Xi Yu and Guan Yu to wait in the yard.
He walked into the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi Dacheng muttering nonsense, his expression very painful.
At this time, the lights in the house were dim and filled with a strong smell of medicine. The windows were closed tightly, making the air look a little dull.
Marin frowned and asked softly, "Dacheng, how do you feel?"
Shi Dacheng didn't answer and still talked nonsense.
Guan Yu watched Ma Lin walk into the room and asked Xi Yu worriedly.
"Will Marin come out after entering the house and get out later? Isn't it possible that he will be infected?"
Xi Yu sighed, his brows frowned slightly, helplessly.
He could not answer this question, so he had to remain silent.
Ma Lin hurried out of the house, came to Xi Yu, and said anxiously, "Prime Minister, Shi Dacheng has been talking nonsense and can't ask anything."
When Xi Yu heard this, he suddenly remembered the mask.
His eyes lit up and he quickly said to Marin: "Hurry up and make a mask! Just do it as I described it."
He briefly described the appearance of the mask to Marin.
Marin nodded and said that he would contact the person who made clothes to produce this mask.
Xi Yu looked at Ma Lin's departure back and turned to Guan Yu and said, "Let's go around the village."
Xi Yu and Guan Yu wandered back and the moment they stepped into the village, a heavy sense of depression came to their faces.
The whole village was filled with the breath of death, and the silence was frightening.
The streets were empty and the doors were closed, as if they were abandoned ruins.
The air was filled with a strong stench.
Xi Yu and Guan Yu's faces turned pale, and they exchanged horrified eyes with each other.
Guan Yu frowned, stared at the tragic situation in front of him, and whispered to Xi Yu: "Will someone deliberately poisoned this scene?"
A trace of solemnity flashed in Xi Yu's eyes. He nodded gently and replied: "It's entirely possible. But at the moment, the most urgent thing is to solve the problem in front of him first."
After a while, Guan Yu felt extremely depressed and couldn't help but cough.
Seeing this, Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked worried, and said softly: "Guan Yu, the atmosphere here is really depressing, so let's find an empty place as soon as possible."
Guan Yu nodded, his face pale, and he replied softly: "Well, let's follow what the Prime Minister said."
Then, the two came to the wilderness together.
In the wilderness, the wind slowly calmed down Guan Yu's mood, and his cough slowly stopped, and his face gradually returned to normal.
Xi Yu thought to himself that the scenes of dealing with the plague in his previous life kept flashing in his mind.
He couldn't help feeling helpless.
Because he knew very well that in this era and in this place, it was probably unrealistic to use those methods.
A contradictory feeling surged in his heart.
On the one hand, he was full of confidence in his previous life's knowledge.
Those methods did work at the time.
On the other hand, he also knew clearly that the conditions and environment here were very different from those in previous lives, and those methods could not be directly applied.
A trace of confusion and confusion appeared in Xi Yu's eyes. He sighed secretly, and he was deeply entangled.
He understood that in the face of the current dilemma, we need to find a solution suitable for this era and place.
Marin hurried into a clothing store with an anxious look on his face.
He described in detail the appearance of the mask that Xi Yu mentioned to the clothing store owner, and his eyes revealed his desire to solve the plague problem.
The clothing store owner listened carefully, his eyes firm and friendly, nodding slightly to show his understanding.
After listening to Marin's description, the boss immediately agreed. He said generously: "No problem, I will start making it right away. The price will be very low, because now everyone is in trouble, so we should help each other."
When Malin heard this, his face showed an admiration.
He held the boss's hand excitedly and said, "You are such an amazing person. I admire your generosity and kindness."
The boss smiled and said firmly: "This is what I should do. It is the most important thing for everyone to overcome this difficulty together."
The boss frowned and said with a hint of worry in his tone: "I will contact a few guys, but their situation is not particularly good now. Only I am still healthy." His eyes showed helplessness and worry.
Marin nodded, with a firm expression on his face, and said, "This county will first go back to the village in Shidacheng."
Malin turned around and left, continuing to search for traces of Shi Dacheng Village.
In the end, he did not find Xi Yu and the others.
The yamen runner said that he might be going wild.
He had no choice but to come to the wilderness.
From a distance, he saw Xi Yu's figure and hurriedly met him.
Malin's face was a little tired. He took a breath and reported to Xi Yu about the relevant situation.
Xi Yu listened quietly.
Xi Yu looked up slightly, looked at the distance with a firm look, and said calmly: "I believe the epidemic will definitely pass, it's no big deal. We must be calm."
Ma Lin nodded slightly, with a hint of relief on his face, and said, "Then let's go back to the county government first and continue investigating tomorrow. How about it?"
After hearing this, Xi Yu nodded in agreement.
His expression seemed calm and calm.
Chapter completed!
