In September, the sun is scorching hot.

In Jinzhou City, there are bones everywhere.

Jinju has a total of twenty-eight cities. Originally, the city was closely connected, and the suburbs were crisscrossed. Before the war, the old man would carry the baskets to the fields, and the children would carry the baskets to hunt hogweed.

After the war, they did not dare to go out. When the Qi people came, they lost their dignity. Although they did not suffer much, it seemed that there were already three, six and nine people in the city, and the Jin people had the lowest status.

After that, everyone is equal. In the face of the plague, no one can escape. Those who can leave have left, and those who have not left are completely unable to leave. Everyone is in this city, relying on the remaining water and food to survive.

Qi people no longer shout that Jinzhou belongs to them, and businessmen from other countries will not struggle to call it Jin or Qi. Anyone who comes here will never be able to leave.

"A-Niang." A child grabbed the woman's sleeve, "A-Niang, are we going to die?"

The woman carried him into the deep mountain, "No, let's hide away, it'll be fine if we hide."

People in the city began to flee into the countryside and into the deep mountains, but they thought wrong. There are no people infected with the plague in the deep mountains, but here, there are poisonous snakes and beasts. They are also deeply affected by the drought and are attacking each other.

And there are a lot of mice here.

After walking all day and night, the woman did not find a source of water. Instead, she was attacked by pheasants several times on the way.

Now, pheasants dare to bully people. Because the woman has no strength, and there is no child. She wanted to catch it, but couldn't.

Going like this, the more you go, the more desperate, the child is almost out of breath, the woman seems to know that she still has a child on her back, she quickly puts the person down, and probes the child's breath with her hand, she wants to cry, but there are no tears .

She kept swallowing her dry throat, as if a fire was about to burst out of her throat, and she held the child's hand tighter and tighter.

"Don't die."

"Dude, don't die, A-Niang will find something to eat."

She was so sad, and finally burst into tears: "Don't die!"

"Not dead yet." Zhang Hu walked over with his self-made mask and said, "Not dead yet."

He said several times that he was still alive, and then called the woman back from his grief, glanced at him blankly, and then knelt down and kowtowed toward him.

"Master, noble master, you save him, you save him!"

When people come to a desperate situation, they are willing to grab the last straw. Zhang Hu didn't answer. This plague came in a hurry, and it was not treated like cowpox before. It could only be used to increase the chance of survival.

Fortunately, he looked, the child did not suffer from the plague, he was just too tired and hungry, and passed out.

He fed the child water, disinfected it with the alcohol on his body, and began stuffing a small chocolate into the child's mouth. This chocolate was given by a friend in Kyoto before his departure. It was said that Mr. Huang Youwei from the Ministry of Commerce brought it back from the Western Regions and was made into chocolate by Mr. Shen Li. This thing is not only delicious, but also life-saving.

For example, a person who faints from low blood sugar can indeed hang his life in this situation.

According to the words of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the life of the common people is hard. They have suffered the most since childhood, and their vitality is tenacious. If you give them a little life at will, you can make them live.

Zhang Hu also hopes that this chocolate can bring back the child's life.

Fortunately, stimulated by the sugar, the starving child finally woke up and murmured, "Mother, I'm hungry."

The woman quickly responded to him, "Okay, okay, there will be food soon."

Zhang Hu asked his mother and two, "There is already a cliff in front of you, you can't continue to move forward, you should go back."

He and his master came in to look for medicine this time, but they didn't find the medicine, and went to the cliff. At that time, the master said one sentence: Heaven wants the way to be perfect.

These words were too pessimistic, which caused Zhang Hu to feel a little depressed. Master was still looking for medicine in the back. He came to the front to pick it up. He met the mother and son, thought about it, and persuaded him: "If you feel uneasy in the city, go to the countryside. , is better than in the mountains."

The woman paused and said, "The village can't hold me."

She looked at Zhang Hu and said frankly: "My man is dead, and my husband's family doesn't give me rations. I can't help it. For the sake of money, I exchange my body for food. This lord, tell you the truth, I was driven out. from."

Zhang Hu then sighed, "It's time to hang up the woman's name."

This remark made the woman's decision in her heart firmer, saying, "Your Excellency never made any sarcastic words, the little lady is grateful, and I look forward to you, don't think that my son is dirty because of the uncleanness of the little woman."

She spoke slowly, and Zhang Hu listened to her and felt that the woman was speaking strangely. Just as she was about to say a few words, she suddenly bumped into the tree beside her—

In an instant, the child called her mother, and Zhang Hu glared to stop her, but it was still not as fast as her.

Zhang Hu sighed, why is this necessary?

Looking at the child again, he also fainted.

As a last resort, he dug a hole, buried the woman, carried the child, and returned to the master, having difficulty opening his mouth, saying, "Master, I'm afraid I'll have to open my mouth to eat."

So I told my master what happened just now, and his master sighed and said, "When the plague is over, ask this child what he thinks. If there is nowhere to go, give it to an old farmer in Jin. They are all from Yu, and it is just right. Give him a few medical books and learn medicine slowly."

His mother used her life to give him a different path. This man's life was too heavy, and they had to pave the way.

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "We just came back to Yu Kingdom and hurried here. I'm afraid we will be on the road for the New Year this year."

He paused and said, "I'm still thinking of going back this year to see the new fireworks developed by Lord Xuesheng."

His master stroked his beard and said, "Let's treat the disease first, but also pay attention to precautions. Do you have the plague prevention booklet issued by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess? Later, I will go to the printing factory in Jinzhou and print some out. , and send it to everyone."

Zhang Hu laughed at his master: "This is not the country of Yu. Most of the people here do not know the characters for Yu or the common characters for the six kingdoms."

He carried the medicine basket on his back, pinched the child's nose for a moment, woke the child up, and said to him who had just woken up, "You don't have time to grieve, go and kowtow to your mother, and we'll go on our way."

When the plague reigns, there is no time to cry.

Who does not die, who does not cry.

When everyone is used to waking up every day and the person next to them may not be there, there is nothing to cry about.

The child was also sensible, endured the pain, and followed the two masters and apprentices all the way, knowing that his mother was using her life to find a good person to tie him up to live. If he was ignorant, he was making good people unhappy and wasting his mother's life. .

The child was obedient, Zhang Hu sighed and said to his master, "The two countries of Qi and Jin are really short of great virtue, and they don't give any food, this is just the beginning, if it lasts longer, like this child. People, I'm afraid there are many."

is a lot.

Displaced and lonely. Twenty-three cities are like a north-south cage. The north is sealed by the Northern Jin, the south is sealed by the Southern Jin, and the east and west sides are completely sealed by the Qi Kingdom.

When the Three Kingdoms were at war, you plotted against me, and I plotted against you, but now they work together to do the same thing.

Lock down the city, run out of food, and cut off aid.

The twenty-three cities of Jinzhou are considered abolished.

However, under this general trend, there are also a group of people who are running around here.

"Where is the guest going?"

Qi State, inn.

The second shopkeeper asked, "You can't go there any more. It's Jinzhou, which has been sealed."

Qiu Yuanzhi wiped his sweat and said, "We are going to Jinzhou."

The shop assistant said: "...But there is plague there. Now that the three kingdoms have ceased fighting, they are busy managing the plague."

Qiu Yuanzhi took a bite of the dish, gave the silver, and said with a smile, "We know, but we are healers, and the place where others fled is exactly what we are going to."

He said, "Little Er, how long will it take us to go here? How much food do we need?"

The shop assistant was stunned for a while, "The guest officer and the others have a carriage, if you hurry, it will be there in half a day, just food... If everyone goes, there will be no food in it. Our state of Qi, the court of the state of Qi said that this year's big There is no food left for them in the drought. Therefore, if the food in the city can be eaten so that they can survive, they will survive, and if the plague is not cured before they finish eating, the city will be burned."

Qiu Yuanyi was shocked when he heard this, "What, are you trying to kill them all?"

He said solemnly: "You guys are doing too much. Although the plague is dying and contagious quickly, there will still be many people who will survive. It's right to seal the city, but you can't ignore the people when you seal the city. , How many lives will there be in the twenty-three cities of Jinzhou?"

The shop assistant was a little stunned by what he said, but he felt that the doctor was right, so he cowardly said, "It was ordered by the imperial court."

Qiu Yuanzhi wanted to say more, but Bai Suya held him back and said, "Yuanzhi, forget it, he's just a junior, what's the use of asking him. If there is no food outside, there must be some relief from the imperial court inside, otherwise it would be too early. back out."

This made Qiu Yuanzhi calm down, and he meditated on what he was willing to do not to kidnap others, and then went back to eat. In today's world, the rice in the inn is not a big fish and meat, and there is no rice, but sweet potatoes.

That's right, this is a sweet potato bought from the Yu Kingdom, for everyone's life.

When I was walking downstairs, I saw a man who looked like a businessman walking over and said, "Are you two doctors Yu?"

Qiu Yuanzhi nodded and said, "Who are you?"

The merchant then asked, "Are you two going to practice medicine in Jinzhou?"

Qiu Yuanzhi nodded, "Yes, after the Jinzhou plague came out, we started to rush over."

They also brought medicinal materials, but it was hard to tell, so they just said: "Tomorrow should be here, I hope everything goes well."

There was admiration in the businessman's eyes, "To be honest, a few days ago, I also met two Yu doctors who were going to Jinzhou. They said they were going to treat the people. I really admire them. They are not from Qi, nor from Jin, but they are from Qi and Jin. The doctors of Qi and Jin are shunned like snakes and scorpions, but you doctors from Yu are willing to go, which is really embarrassing to see."

Qiu Yuanzhi said: "Our Royal Highness of the Yu Kingdom said that physicians know no borders, and physicians are born to be retrogrades. If we don't dare to face the disease, no one in the world can face the disease. already."

The merchant said, "But, you may die. The plague is really bad."

Qiu Yuanzhi swallowed the whole sweet potato and said, "We will protect ourselves, thank you."

If you go, you will risk your life, but if you don't go, you will be uneasy for the rest of your life.

He smiled and said: "In this life, people always have to do something meaningful, right?"

Bai Suya smiled and said, "Yes. So hurry up and eat. After eating, we have to go up and talk about things."

Obviously do not want to waste time talking to the businessman.

When the merchant heard this, he felt ashamed first and said, "I was the one who bothered the two of you. It's just that last time I met Doctor Yu, I was shocked by their retrograde movement, but I didn't have anything to give. This time I happened to have a batch of food. , I won't sell it anymore, I want to give it to you, let you bring it in, and save as many people as possible."

After saying this, a few people at the adjacent table also stood up and said: "We are also willing to give something, two, please wait a moment, I will go back now to get it."

This is a pleasant surprise. Bai Suya stood up and said, "I don't want anything else, mainly medicine and food. We lack these."

So the next morning, they not only harvested a batch of medicinal materials and food, but also a few more people from the **** team and doctors.

Bai Suya: "..."

It's more people.

I don't care, I just said: "We are here to save people, but the people in the city have been locked up for a long time, and they may become wolves. If you go in with the same block, you must not only be vigilant against the plague, but also be wary of the plague. Avoid people."

Everyone didn't expect this to be what he said in the first sentence, so they admired the young doctor Yu even more, and said, "We know that, Doctor Qiu, let's go now."

In that city, as well as their family members, the doctors of the Yu Kingdom have all climbed mountains and waters, but Qi and Jin states have nothing to say.

Then they arrived at the place without any danger - as for why they said there was no danger, it was because when they were on the road, they were blocked by a group of bandits with knives. They thought they were going to fight each other bloody, but Seeing the other party clasped their fists at them, put a bag of rice on the road, and then went back to the mountain.

Qiu Yuanzhi: "..."

He sighed: "There are many heroes in the green forest."

By the time we finally reached the border of Jinju, it was already dusk. They brought a lot of things, and it took longer than the shop's second estimate.

The city gate here is indeed closed, not only closed, there are countless soldiers holding their hands here, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, as long as anyone dares to approach, they will shoot them into hedgehogs.

Qiu Yuanzhi and the others stopped halfway through. An officer and soldier came to ask, and Qiu Yuanzhi said, "We are doctors. We heard that there was plague here, so we brought medicine to treat the disease."

He also introduced: "This is the **** brother of the **** team. They also went in with us to protect our safety."

Jinzhou is now one of the 23 dead cities. People have always risked their lives to come out, but no one has risked their lives to enter. However, a few days ago, Doctor Yu also entered. He heard Qiu Yuanzhi's accent and the two a few days ago. Like a person, he said, "Are you Doctor Yu?"

Qiu Yuanzhi nodded, "Yes."

That little soldier had never read a book, but seeing this group of people at this time, he also said the chivalrous and courageous words that are often said in the market. He hurriedly took them to the general guarding the city, and when he arrived at the mansion, he said to the guard in front of the door, "Yu doctor wants to go to Jinzhou again, and this time there are a few more doctors from Qi."

The guards informed him that after hearing this, the commander Xue Yunqiao hurriedly went out to meet people, and said a noble word to the several doctors, saying, "I just went in. If the plague in the city is not cured, we will not let everyone out, but we want to. All right?"

Everyone has to ask this question, and Qiu Yuanzhi said with certainty, "Since he's here, he's not someone who will back off."

Xue Yunqiao took a deep breath, stepped back, bowed and gave a general salute, and then shouted at the soldier next to him, "Open the city gate—"

At the same time, the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Zheng Changlong led people to enter Jinzhou from the north gate.

His grandfather stopped him and said, "You are acting on your will, and you don't know what it looks like inside. You brought soldiers in, and you are not a doctor, so it is of no use at all."

Zheng Changlong said solemnly: "Grandfather, my aunt said, you teach her to have compassion and compassion. My aunt taught me this sentence again."

"But for the past two years of my expedition to the north and south, I no longer have the compassion and compassion of ordinary people."

He smiled and said: "My mother died in Tushan City, as did my father and brother. When the Qi army entered the city, I almost didn't survive. After I escaped, I vowed to take back the Tushan City that belonged to me."

"But, now that I haven't beaten him, Tushan will be doomed."

He said, "Grandfather, have you heard about it? Doctor Yu heard that there was a plague in Qi and Jin, so he rushed over thousands of miles and had already entered the city. Under their leadership, many people began to gather. It was the doctor. Yes, those who know medical skills should go into the city, and if they have money, food, and medicinal materials, they will be sent to the government, and the government will be asked to send them in.”

"Grandfather, my Tu Shancheng can be saved soon, so I naturally want to save it."

The young general sat on the horse and gave a jade pendant to the old man, "This is the birthday gift for you this year. I think I can't give it to you on your birthday this year."

Liu Chengren caught the jade pendant and said, "Since this is the case, you must pay attention to this trip."

Zheng Changlong nodded, rode away with his soldiers, restrained his horse at the city gate, and shouted, "Open the city gate—"

The same thing happened in Qi. There are always people who are willing to enter the city, and there are always people who are willing to carry the burden.

No borders.

From August to the twelfth lunar month, for four months, the twenty-three cities of Jinzhou slowly stabilized.

The corpses burned piles after piles, and the patients recovered one after another. Slowly, the mortal cities began to come back to life.

The plague was finally cleared.

After Qi Jin's discussion, the city gate was also opened.

Qiu Yuanzhi and Bai Suya and other Yu doctors naturally wanted to go back. Qiu Yuanzhi has his own thoughts. He has learned a lot with Zhang Hu and his master recently. Now that he is leaving, he is reluctant to part with them.

When he ran from Kyoto to Chaozhou, he just liked to run around. Zhang Hu and his master were people who went to collect herbs from all over the world. Qiu Yuanzhi felt that he and the two of them were really like-minded and willing to follow them.

However, Bai Suya had a family business, so he didn't follow him. He regretted his farewell and prepared to return to Beijing alone.

On the day they were about to return, Qi and Jin issued an imperial edict at the same time.

- During the war, do not kill Yu doctor.
