"You still have the nerve to say this? You usually look very smart, but at this moment you have become brainless. You just believe whatever others say. Are you a pig?" Su Xubai angrily put the hand in his hand.
The book was thrown to the ground.
"Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about having no brains? Who is a pig! You think I don't know that she is lying to me. Then what can I do? She is the eldest lady in the house, and I don't follow what she says.
Do you think she will let me go after finding you in this hellish place?" Cheng Chun's voice became louder and louder.
Su Xubai frowned: "As long as you live in the house, she won't dare to do anything. People can't have trouble in her house, otherwise she will always be confused. But now that you are out, you will die outside."
It has nothing to do with her, don’t you understand such a simple truth?"
"Su Xubai, you brought me here. You lived outside and didn't go back at all. You asked me to live in that mansion. I looked down on me all day long and even if I ate more cakes, I was criticized. You know
How uncomfortable is it? Besides, if it weren't for you, would I have come out? I regard your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, why don't you just die in there!" Cheng Chun became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his eyes turned red as he spoke.
Su Xubai laughed angrily on the spot: "Pretend, keep pretending, cry out to me now if you can, I really want to dig out your deceptive eyes!"
Sui Xubai's words really made Chengchun furious. She wanted to go up and scratch his face. At this time, she saw that he was several meters away from her, and she was even more angry. As he spoke, he
Walking forward: "Aren't you going to quarrel with me? Why don't you come over and quarrel? Why are you standing so far away? You're afraid that my spit will hit you!"
"Don't come over!" Su Xubai suddenly shouted coldly.
Even if he was angry again, Su Xubai would rarely speak to Cheng Chun so harshly. Cheng Chun was also frightened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "If you don't get over, you won't get over. What's so bad about it!"
Hongdou stood far away. After hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a closer look.
Seeing that Chengchun seemed really frightened, Su Xubai said, "I'm not clean, so stay away!"
"Then what should I do, just wait here for you?" After Cheng Chun was brutally murdered, he still felt a little aggrieved, but in order to prevent others from seeing it, he raised his head and looked at Su Xubai, trying his best to calm himself down.
Looks a little colder.
"We live in a village one kilometer away. When you go there, someone will take you to my house. There is no good place on the village. You can only squeeze in with me. If you don't want to, you will go to the city.
!" Su Xubai looked at Cheng Chun and said coldly.
Chengchun frowned: "What about Hongdou?"
"Someone will arrange it!" After Su Xubai finished speaking, he turned around and went back without looking back, "Don't come here again! Come here again and break the legs of the four of you!"
Cheng Chun was not afraid at all. He rolled his eyes at Su Xubai's back several times, then turned and left.
One kilometer is not far, and the carriage arrived not long after the trip. Several soldiers were guarding the entrance of Zhuangzi. When they saw the carriage, they hurried forward: "Who asked you to come here?"
"The family members of Mr. Su who are in the car are the ones who asked us to come here. He said that someone would lead the way after we get here!" the guard said softly.
The soldier was a little surprised, but said nothing and led them inside.
But to get into Zhuangzi, they had to go to the clean room to clean themselves, and then pass through a smokehouse before they could get into Zhuangzi.
When Hongdou followed Chengchun in, she looked confused: "What is this for?"
"Realgar moxa leaves are used to remove some of the epidemic poisons that may be brought to the body by clothing!" Cheng Chun explained, "The people who temporarily live in this Zhuangzi should be in places where people often go to the refugee camp. In order to prevent people here from bringing the epidemic poisons.
Come here, that’s why I use this method!”
Hongdou nodded, then covered his mouth and nose and entered the smoking room first.
When they came out of the smoke room, they were all in tears. Cheng Chun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "The smoke here is really strong!"
"Guys, drink this medicine to prevent and cure the epidemic!" A woman brought out a bowl of dark soup and handed it to Cheng Chun's hand.
Chengchun took a sniff and found that they were some cooling and detoxifying medicines that strengthened the body. Although it was extremely bitter, he drank the medicine obediently.
By the time Chengchun and the others were led to Su Xubai's yard, it was already an hour later. Su Xubai's house was very simple, with only a bed and a lame table. In order to maintain balance, the foot of the table was
A piece of wood was also placed as a cushion.
Cheng Chun looked at it and frowned slightly.
As soon as Hongdou came in, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "I live in a place like this, it's too simple!"
Chengchun was silent for a while, then said: "Let's clean up this place!"
It happened that the woman came in, looked at Cheng Chun and said: "The house is simple, I'm afraid I won't be used to it!"
"In the current situation, it's good to have a place to stay. Is there anything else I'm not used to?" Chengchun said with a smile, "By the way, I wonder if we can put another small bed here.
?”
"Oh, Miss Hongdou's house is next door, but the house is much smaller, so I have to feel sorry for Miss Hongdou!" the woman said quickly.
After the woman said this, Chengchun naturally couldn't say anything more, so he smiled and said nothing more.
Hongdou swept the thin bedding on the side, then laid out the blanket on the carriage, and then cleaned the house from the inside out. Chengchun stacked Su Xubai's clothes on the side, tearing them apart.
Add hot water to the teapot and brew some new tea.
When the woman came in again, the room was still the same, but it obviously had a lot of life. The incense was lit and the teapot was burned: "Oh, when this lady comes, the room becomes a little angry. This man
Ah, it’s so rough, you can’t live without a woman no matter what!”
Chengchun smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, Mr. Su usually eats in the camp. My wife has to prepare her own food. Every five days there will be some food sent from outside, but they are all rough and can barely satisfy her hunger!" The woman was a little embarrassed.
said.
"It doesn't matter, it'll be nice if you can stutter. It's difficult for everyone these days!" Chengchun said with a smile, "Go and do your business, don't worry about us, we will take care of ourselves!"
The woman looked at Cheng Chun, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked him: "Mr. Su is a good man, and the daughter-in-law that Mr. Su married is also kind-hearted, and she has gone through all the hardships!"
Chengchun smiled and agreed.
For dinner, Chengchun ate some pastries he brought with him.
Before coming here, Chengchun thought it would be very difficult here, but he never imagined that it would be so shabby.
It was already late at night when Su Xubai came back, Chengchun had already gone to bed, and she was huddled in the corner, looking as if she felt insecure.
Su Xubai sat under the dim oil lamp and poured himself a cup of tea. He originally thought it would be the same bitter cold tea as before, but he didn't want to drink it. It turned out to be still warm. The tea was slightly sweet. It was obvious that he had just changed his clothes.
Not long ago.
"Why are you back so late?" Cheng Chun, who had already fallen asleep, got up after hearing the noise and walked to Su Xubai while yawning, "Are you hungry? I still have some over there.
Pastries, I can give you some tummy first!"
"No need!" Su Xubai shook his head, then looked back at Cheng Chun, "Isn't it very uncomfortable to be here? After all, this place is really, really simple!"
"I'm the one who came down here, what's wrong with me? But you, I didn't expect that a young man born into wealth could actually live in this place." Cheng Chun got himself a cup of tea and said, "Where is the camp for the victims of the disaster?"
Are you still very pessimistic?"
Su Xubai sighed, then shook his head: "There is no specific medicine, all the medicines are just based on the previous prescriptions for treating plagues in ancient books. The military doctors we brought are very smart, but they are at a loss to face this plague!
"
Cheng Chun was silent, and then said: "Master Magistrate, what is going on? I have been dragged into the water by you, you can't continue to hide it from me, right?"
"We originally just went to Hangzhou to suppress the riots. We moved to Huizhou because we got a secret message after arriving in Hangzhou. Tens of millions of taels of silver disappeared, and we don't know where the grain and grass we were sent went. The people of Huizhou are in dire straits, but these
There is no news about the matter in the capital. If it weren't for the Hangzhou riots, His Majesty would still be kept in the dark." Su Xubai lowered his eyes and said softly.
"Are you here to investigate a case or to provide disaster relief?" Cheng Chun held his cheek and said softly, holding back his sleepiness.
"Investigate the case!" Su Xubai gave a bitter smile, "But when the disaster here is so serious, there is no time to investigate the case. We have to control the disaster first. There is still no news about Meng Shaoqing, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive.
!”
Chengchun was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "If you die here, will anyone continue to investigate the case?"
"Meng Shaoqing is the prince of Yongchang, and he died here. Unless His Majesty comes in person, no one will be able to find out the case!" Su Xubai sneered, "There is a big fish in the court!"
"Since you know that there is a problem with the prefect, why don't you arrest him like the guard general? Wouldn't it be faster to investigate the case this way?" Chengchun was a little strange, "Why do you keep coaxing them like this!"
"Because he is the prefect. If we want to control the disaster, we must have someone who can convince or scare the local people!" Su Xubai said calmly, "It's just that Mrs. Li deceived you, most likely behind the scenes.
The people want us all to die here!"
Chengchun pouted: "Then what are we going to do next? Should we wait to die?"
