Dongming Ziyu innocently raised the scissors, tweezers, and trauma medicine in his hand, "Remove the stitches from your wound."

When Shangguan Ruoli came out from behind the screen, he was already dressed in a fine blue men's robe. He was refreshed, handsome, and as gentle as jade.

"Where to go next?" Shangguan Ruoli opened her bun, picked up the comb, and prepared to tie her hair again.

Dongming Ziyu, who was as tall as jade, stood there with bright eyes watching her makeover. He let out a long breath, walked behind her and took the comb from her hand, "I will help you."

Because Shangguan Ruoli was injured, Dongming Ziyu has become very skilled in hair-twisting skills these days.

His jade-like hands brushed her long, satin-like hair, "I will go out and have a look. You stay here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

There was a plague outside, and Dongming Ziyu didn't dare let Shangguan Ruoli run around.

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "I want to follow you. You know what I'm capable of and won't be infected."

Dongming Ziyu sighed softly and insisted: "You are not allowed to go, you are just not allowed to go."

He was going to Huaihua Village, which was very dangerous. An invisible killer like the plague was impossible to guard against, and he couldn't guarantee that Shangguan Ruoli would be fine.

Shangguan Ruoli was also very stubborn, "Then I'll go by myself!"

Dongming Ziyu's face instantly turned cold. This damn woman just wasn't obedient. He felt that his lower limit was being lowered again and again.

It is simply a lack of strength for the husband!

Pull her hair into a bun and secure it with a simple sandalwood hairpin.

Shangguan Ruoli has an excellent characteristic. No matter whether it is gold, silver, jade or scrap metal, when it comes to her, she can bring out her natural noble temperament.

Dongming Ziyu stepped out and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Shangguan Ruoli showed a successful smile and followed behind him.

The two of them were strangers, so they had no choice but to travel in a carriage.

When the plague is rampant, everyone runs away and hides when they can, and it is easy to attract attention when new faces appear walking around on the street.

Sitting in the carriage, Shangguan Ruoli opened the curtains and kept looking at the people coming and going on the street.

There were running officers and soldiers, and struggling people. Crying and wailing could be heard from time to time, creating an atmosphere of panic as the end of the world was approaching.

Dongming Ziyu asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Shangguan Ruoli said expressionlessly, "If the end of the world comes one day, what will you do?"

Dongming Ziyu was stunned, "The end of the world?"

Shangguan Ruoli explained: "Humanity is going to perish."

Dongming Ziyu pulled her into his arms, "If there is such a day, I will hold you, and then..."

The following words made Shangguan Ruoli blush, and he gritted his teeth and pinched the soft flesh around his waist, "You're shameless!"

Such a sad black topic turned his life yellow.

Dongming Ziyu chuckled and turned on the coquettish mode, "Your injury is healed, let's go tonight..."

"Get lost!" Shangguan Ruoli really had no interest in flirting in this atmosphere.

As a prince, Dongming Ziyu actually felt very heavy when he saw the people in this state. After teasing Shangguan Ruoli for a few words, he stopped pushing too far.

It took an hour to drive a carriage from Linzhou City to Huaihua Village in Yun County, and it was already night when they arrived.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It was originally a very peaceful and quiet mountain village. Although it was poor, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But what about now?

It almost became a ghost village. The outbreak of the plague poisoned the entire village, causing the villagers to flee in panic, spreading the plague germs everywhere, and now it has become an uncontrollable situation.

Five small mountain villages, including Huaihua Village, were surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it was not easy to enter blatantly.

Dongming Ziyu came here just to check out the situation, and did not want to go in personally.

Standing on the hill, Shangguan Ruoli stood side by side with him.

The mountain village is surrounded by camps, in which well-armed officers and soldiers live.

The mountain villages are very small, with the five villages adding up to a total of just over a hundred households, so many simple shacks were temporarily built between the villages, and the quarantined people lived in them.

We call it isolation, but in fact we are waiting for death.

In Huaihua Village, thick smoke was constantly billowing, and those were corpses that were being burned.

It was already a place for burning corpses. The corpses were transported from the city and sent there for collective destruction. At the same time, all the original evidence was also burned.

"Death is actually nothing to be afraid of. What really scares people is the fear and waiting before death." Shangguan Ruoli looked at Dongming Ziyu thoughtfully, "The inaction of the imperial court has caused the people to panic.

It has also lost the support of the people. When the people despair and even hate the court, the court will come to an end."

Dongming Ziyu had a cold face, expressionless, "Every court has corrupt officials who deceive the superiors and conceal the truth from the inferiors."

Shangguan Ruoli snorted coldly and said: "Water can carry a boat but it can also overturn it. Living in a temple, searching for the people's fat and anointing in the peaceful and prosperous times, the people can tolerate it. But now this situation has forced the people to have no way to survive, and they will only be forced by the officials.

opposite."

Dongming Ziyu had to admit that Shangguan Ruoli, a woman, had better views on government affairs than those dim-witted veterans.

A warrior like Shangguan Tianxiao actually raised such a daughter with extraordinary knowledge.

Dongming Ziyu said: "When the food, herbs and doctors arrive, this panic situation will definitely be alleviated."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "The current plan is to find out the cause of the plague and develop a prescription to treat it."

Suddenly, she heard the sound of someone approaching.

After taking a look at Dongming Ziyu, I found that his expression was calm, and I knew that it must be his person.

Sure enough, a man in ragged clothes, who looked and looked like a disaster victim, emerged from the bushes.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Dongming Ziyu: "I have met my master."

"Get up and answer the question!" Dongming Ziyu put his hands behind his back and looked down at the visitor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The visitor kowtowed and then stood up, bowing his head and reporting respectfully: "Master, those patients initially had fever and vomiting, then gradually became weak, vomited blood, and finally died..."

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly to show that he was listening.

The man continued: "At first, the corpse was no different from that of an ordinary person who died of illness. But one time, my subordinates encountered a corpse that had died in the mountains and no one had found it. They found that the man's skin was smooth and almost translucent, and there seemed to be something under the skin.

Things were squirming. Use a knife to cut open the skin, and you'll find bugs the size of millet grains inside."

As he said that, the man retched as he remembered that scene.

Shangguan Ruoli immediately thought of Zhazhaer's Gu people, "Is it a Gu insect?"

The man nodded, "My subordinates guess that it is probably a Gu insect."
