No Worries about Food and Medicine - Chapter 148
The sun was sinking and the silt was accumulating. On the 40th day of Ji Hong’s journey south, the water conservancy work in Chunan Prefecture was almost completed, the broken river embankment was consolidated, and the turbulent river water was drained away. Only the low-lying places in the city are covered with thick and muddy mud, and the collapsed houses that are everywhere in the laneways show the fierce wind and rain that this century-old city has experienced.
On that day, the sky was slightly blurred, the mist was misty, and the moisture like rain was sticking to the human hair, and the hot air in front of the human nose was stirred thicker.
A team of horses and horses ran through the ruts, the wheels were deep in mud, and the ground was wet and sticky. It took a few force to pull forward and then push forward. Along the way, there were countless hungry people on both sides, and the sick and dead victims were disheveled in the wilderness of corpses, but they fed the animals that lived on carrion. Chunan Mansion, a land of centuries of accumulation, is now desolate in front of the door, becoming a human **** where crows hover and wild dogs wander.
The convoy stopped at the gate of the city, and the guards guarding the city looked down, and they saw the vast and voluminous team that stretched for a mile, and the black pressure pressed against the dark clouds of the city, but the soldiers immediately came to the spirit and stood Straightened his back, rubbed his eyes carefully to identify, and saw that the banner of the wind was indeed embroidered with the word “Da Xia”. From the coach of the team leader, it was Chen Yang who was wearing a pale crimson uniform.
Seeing that the medical officer was appointed by the DPRK and the central government, the soldiers immediately ran down the tower with excitement, and ran and shouted, “Come here! The medicine is finally here! We are saved! Go and inform the lord, the court Send someone over! ”
The long-dead Chunan House finally set off waves due to the medical food coming from afar. In a short time, the city gate opened, and it was not as good as Chen Yang and others. A group of refugees poured out from the city first, guarding the city Immediately pulled up the thorn fence, put up the halberd, and stopped the people in the city.
When they entered, the city gate closed again.
The sultry and damp summer wind rolled up a strange smell, mixed with the odor of the dead and sick and the strong bitter medicine. When I entered the city, the scene in my eyes was even more horrifying. The Chunan Mansion was facing the rivers and rivers. It was the merchants who prospered, the wharves were developed, and it was an extremely rich place. —The dying victims collapsed on both sides of the street, and people who were reluctant to leave were hovering in the collapsed houses; young children who lost their parents due to floods cried out, picking up some rotten fruit belly washed by water from the mud; The ragged woman embraced the child who had been so cold, and sat stunned by the wall.
Where there is wealth, where prosperity can be seen, so is the illusion of hell.
The medical officers and soldiers immediately covered their mouths and noses, and some medical officials who had been reluctant to go south even sprung up with retreat, thinking about how to retreat.
Although Chen Yang thought that the situation in the south was not optimistic when he came, he still felt terrified when he saw it with his own eyes. He sighed for a moment: “It is so tragic!”
A small doctor wearing a light green dress and wearing a Shiqing Xiaoyao towel came out of the car. Like other medical officers, he was covered with a white towel covering the sickness, and only a pair of smart and transparent eyes were exposed. For a while, I didn’t see the person I wanted to see. I was a little lost. When I heard Chen Yuyi’s words, I also said: “If the epidemic continues to spread, it will be like this in the middle of Beijing.”
Chen Yang nodded and said strangely: “Why don’t you see the local government official?”
As I said, from the distance of Changjie, there were three or five people on the horse. Chen Yang was not familiar with the local government officials. He only heard that he was a big-bellied **** and raised his neck to look forward. He did n’t expect to see the fat man. There was a young man with temperament.
The one who came here was very impressed, and no one would ever forget to take a look at it.
——It was the lord Ji who went southwards with the purpose and supervised the work.
Ji Hong turned over from his horse and was chatting with Chen Yang. He suddenly glanced at a thin shadow flashing over, then went to look closely, but disappeared again. Only the doctors who hang down from the cars and horses The officials all wore the same pale cyan inferior medical officer’s clothes.
“Sir Ji, we came here with the purpose. One is to **** the grains and medicinal materials, and the other is to help the epidemic to cure the epidemic.” Chen Yang looked around again and again, and there was no fat man coming. However, what is this, Master Ji, where are you welcoming? According to the rules, the medicinal stones and grass should be signed by a house Zhengyin personally, and we dare to hand over, if something goes wrong— ”
He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Hong, suddenly paused, and forgot what he should say next, only widened his eyes and was surprised: “Master Ji, your face is …”
“It’s okay.” Ji Hong raised his eyebrows coldly, still a cold expression that was not moved by foreign objects, and only briefly explained the current situation of Chunan, “Chu Nanfu official Zhou Jinhong is greedy for fear of death and fear of epidemics. Ten days ago, he swept away most of the government’s wealth and fled the city with his family. Three days ago, the soldiers who went to track down found the dead body of his wife and maidservant along the way. Today, Zhou Jinhong is still running and missing. There is no one to rule the city of a house, and the opening folds have not been approved. In desperation, Jimou can only temporarily control. ”
“There is such a thing!” Chen Yang shook his head, and he sighed in the world that even officials could abandon the people! However, since the government official Zhengyin had abandoned his job and fled, it was really helpless to give this medicine to Chincha, so he hurriedly ordered the next man to take the roster and give it to Master Ji to check the number one by one.
A medical official took the roster and came quickly, offering his hands with his head down. Ji Hong stretched his hand to pick it up, his eyes fell on the doctor, his fingers snapped, and hesitated for a moment before he hurriedly took the roster, and turned around inexplicably, then opened the roster and looked closely: “Master Chen After working hard, please take a rest in the government office. The medicinal grain will be placed in the warehouse of the government office. Someone will come to help you count. Duan Ming. ”
Duan Ming: “The young man ordered.”
“Take all the medical officers to rest with you.” Ji Hong looked back at the little doctor who handed his roster. Whoever wanted to do this for a while, the man didn’t know where to hide. Duan Ming was destined to leave, and he frowned again, “Wait a minute, cook a few pots of hot tea, don’t be neglected.”
Duan Mingdao: “Yes.”
When Ji Hong returned to the government office, he had to elaborate with Chen Yang on the current predicament of Chunan.
After the water conservancy fortifications in Chunan Prefecture were repaired, the floodwaters have retreated, but now the accumulated water is still there and there is a major epidemic. Not enough to maintain the daily expenses of the disaster victims. In 11 counties under its jurisdiction, it is also difficult to transfer excess medicinal materials. More and more people are sick, but after the closure of the city, there are a large number of people who have not yet been sick. In order to buy at a high price, it is also difficult to quench the thirst. Not to mention government officials absconding, refugee riots and rumours in the city, the more chaos there is.
Chen Yuyi came here, but really solved his urgent need for short of medicine.
Outside the hall where the two were talking, they hurriedly walked through several doctors who carried the medicine box. They complained and complained, and their faces were extremely impatient. Ji Hong suddenly stood up and said to Chen Yang: “Master Chen, it just happened to have another thing. A few days ago, there was a riot in the city. The prince was a little scared. Now he is resting in the backyard. Adults can go for a safe pulse.”
Upon hearing that the eldest prince was insecure, Chen Yang immediately awakened and quit in a panic.
Ji Hong stretched his legs and walked to the warehouse on the side of the house. The first two medical officials carried boxes, and they didn’t notice anyone behind them, so they whispered to each other: “What’s he thinking of, and dare to support us like this?”
Although the other was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not have the courage to spit it out quickly, and only mumbled: “He was recommended by Master Lao Wen. The Sanyu Building on the Cross Street had never heard of it. It is him. It is said that he discovered this epidemic first. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been countless living people in Sanyulou, and the victims have almost broken the threshold of his family. ”
“How can there be such a god, if it is so powerful, why is it only a private middleman, you and I have been studying hard for ten years before entering this medical department and entering this royal medical department. If he really has the ability, why not go through the medical department Examination? What about Wen Gong’s recommendation, but it’s just a doctor who walked through the back door. “The man sneered.” I don’t think I dare to take the exam at all, just a deceitful person. ”
Ji Hong’s face sank, and he snorted with a cold sneer, frightening the two of them, his mouth closed.
Entering the warehouse compound, I saw that a young medical official was directing the three or five bureaucrats to reorganize the medicines. These medicines were sealed in a box and traveled from Xiajing to Chunan for a long journey. , Some should be exposed, and some need to be stored in a place with high ventilation. Seeing that the manpower was not enough, the boy spread a bag of atractylodes evenly in the basket, and then took a wooden ladder to the wall, preparing to hang some stringed medicinal herbs under the beam of the room.
“The Bai Fuling is very afraid of the tide, how can you put it on the corner of that cloudy tide!” The little doctor stepped on the wooden ladder and was busy watching the directions, seeing a bureaucrat carrying a basket of white powder Block walked back and hurriedly called him, “Ah, wait a moment, the one you are taking now is Pueraria lobata, not Poria. I didn’t stick any notes, how could I get it wrong, you–”
He said suddenly, a few bureaucrats had been cocooned by his ears, and it seemed strange that he didn’t move at all, so he turned back to look at it-just see the little doctor in Luoli. When Ji Jiren appeared, he looked at him with wide eyes.
The wooden ladder in disrepair creaked, and the young man shook it. Ji Hong instinctively reached out and clasped the side of the wooden ladder. He had a lot of things to say, but now it was just a deep lock between his eyebrows, and the back of his hand was tense. Stretched his head and scolded him: “Climb up and down like this, how is it good to fall! Come down.”
Yu Jinnian stared at his face, did not speak for a long time, and after a while he came back to his mind, and first subconsciously touched the white towel covering his face, confirming that this thing was still there, he became brave and said: “I love to climb up Climb up, climb down if you like to climb down. Master Ji is busy with his business, he does n’t even have the time to write a small letter, and he has the leisurely mind to control whether my incompetent little official is climbing up or down? ”
Hearing his voice a little hoarse, his figure was not as mellow as he walked before, Ji Hong was a little angry because he didn’t come, and seeing him like this, the atrium collapsed and couldn’t help but collapse into a scattered sand. In the end, he remembered hating himself for not saying anything for many days. Ji Hong sighed, held the wooden ladder in one hand, and raised it with another hand, and said warmly: “Okay, don’t worry me. Come down.”
“…” Yu Jinnian turned his head to not look at him, holding a breath in his heart.
The wooden ladder creaked as if it was about to break in the next moment. Ji Hong’s eyes hurried forward and took him off the ladder with his back collar. Yu Jinnian exclaimed, and he was carried down by Ji Hong on his shoulders. It wasn’t that he deliberately carried it this way, but it was more labor-saving.
All the doctors and servants who entered the hospital were stunned. They were all stunned. They forgot what they were going to do. They watched the two of them struggle and walked out of the hospital.
“Liaring, talking is not a word!” Yu Jin was so angry that he punched **** the man’s back, yelling and yelling all the way.
Ji Hong took a pain, groaned, and whispered: “If you move again, I can’t hold you.”
Yu Jinnian flattened his mouth in the white towel and finally came down honestly.
Since leaving Beijing, he only wanted to go to Chunan House as soon as possible. When the doctors next to him sighed, only a few days before he broke his finger every day. Fortunately, when I didn’t see it, I was supported by a breath. Now when I saw this man standing in front of him in a good manner, the grievances in my heart turned up like an angry tide that made him quickly red his eyes.
He put his hand on it and put it on the back of the day he had been reading for days and nights, and felt the fresh temperature under his fingers.
Ji Hong carried him back to his residence, a small courtyard not far from the government office, a table and chairs in the courtyard, covered with the topographic map of Chunan Prefecture, and there were three cups of two teas beside the table , Want to discuss business with others shortly before coming. He kicked the door open and placed the boy on his back on the only couch. He was about to go south with him on the theory and theory, but when he saw him staring at him, his eyes exposed outside did not blink.
He moved his heart, placed it on one knee, took off the white towel covering the teenager’s face, supported the opponent’s neck, and bowed his head slightly to kiss.
Those lips were slightly dry, but they were soon wetted by the teenager’s lips and tongues. Yu Jinnian opened the lip gap halfway and caught the tip of the tongue that was facing him, sucking slowly in his mouth. Someone outside the courtyard knocked on the door, but Ji Hong didn’t answer. He just focused on packing up the people in his arms, interweaving him with every cluster of tiny taste buds on his tongue, and telling each other’s thoughts of each other in this period.
The knocker quickly retreated, and Yu Jinnian raised his hand and gently stroked the edge of the man’s ear to see that there was a thin finger-length mark on the left half of his face, before he formed a fresh soft scar. It looked bright red, and it looked like a beautiful jade on the white face of the man. He said distressedly: “How did this happen.”
Ji Hong smiled and covered the back of his hand: “It’s okay. A few days ago, there was a riot by the refugees, which almost hurt the prince. I just blocked it for the prince.”
Yu Jinnian’s airway said: “What is blocking it, and then it pierced my eyes a little bit!”
Ji Hong was still looking at him, his eyes full of gentle smiles, and even looking at his sullen look, he would feel sweet in his heart. Yu Jinnian was discouraged by him. Although he thought he was thinking tightly, he was still a little arrogant and refused to bow his head first. So Ji Hong bent down, took him in his arms, kissed him next to the hairline, and took the initiative to say wrong: “If you know wrong, you will be more careful next time.”
Yu Jinnian leaned on his lap, and although facing outward, he gripped a piece of clothing corner in Ji Hong’s hands, for fear that he would leave suddenly. Days and nights on the road, he did not know how many times he dreamed that Ji Hong was seriously ill and dreamed that he had to travel alone with his back to himself, so that when he woke up one night, he was only left with great unrest and panic.
Ji Hong patted his shoulder soothingly and asked softly, “Who are you looking after after you come here like this?”
“It’s Su Ting.” Yu Jinnian answered them one by one, and Jin Youting is now his home for him. He naturally arranged everything properly, so he dare to desperately go south with the team, “The kid has made great progress in medicine and business. The things I did became more convenient, and I entrusted his family to him. Although he was still somewhat immature in medicine, he now has many famous doctors in Beijing and Beijing, and he taught him the methods of preventing and curing diseases. Now under pressure, he may not be alone. ”
Ji Hong didn’t expect that Su Ting would be as good as he is. He turned to other people in Jin Youting: “How are the children?”
“Children …” Yu Jinnian said slowly, as if his tongue was a little heavy, and his mouth could not open anymore, as if heavier than a catty, “Sui Sui and A Chun both escorted them to Tucheng, Qing Huan also followed. Tucheng is located in the northwest, the weather is dry and there is no epidemic. It would be safer to stay here than to stay in Beijing …
“Tucheng is indeed a good place. I heard that there is a fairy mountain, strange flowers and grass on the mountain, and fresh fruits and spirits. There is nothing strange about this. After this epidemic, we might as well go to Tucheng for a few days to enjoy it. Through Daizhou, we can also Enjoying the sea and the forest, is it good … Jinnian? “Ji Hong asked, but no one answered. He looked down strangely, only to find that the teenager closed his eyes without warning and slept on his knees.
There was only a moment of effort in this talk, and he slept so well. Considering his temperament again, Beijing Middle School is suffering from epidemics. As a doctor, he must have difficulty standing by. The two doctors also said that Yu Xiaoshen, the doctor in Sanyulou, had countless living people. I’m afraid it’s not even a serious gushing sleep.
Now that the Beijing-Zhongzhong epidemic has not been eliminated, he has been rushing around for thousands of miles to come to Chunan, the most severely affected area-knowing how he should not touch the ground during this time, if it is not really tired, and How can I fall asleep between the beards.
Ji Hong sighed very softly, and couldn’t bear to wake him up. He had to stretch out his hand and embrace him carefully to prevent him from rolling down, and he made a meat pillow with pleasure. And Yu Jinnian was finally able to slow down his guard, immersed in the long-lost gentle township, sniffing the familiar clothing scent between his nose, and sleeping for more than an hour.
Seems calm and waterless.
It was just that the two knew in their hearts that after this gathering of beautiful dreams, they would face a plagued city with devastation and wailing all over the world. It was the worst plague in the history of Daxia.
