There was more and more blood on the ground, and within half a moment, it had accumulated into a bright puddle, red and black, shocking.
But the man was still coughing one after another, as if trying to cough up all the blood in his body.
After another quarter of an hour, the coughing finally stopped, and the man slowly straightened up, glancing out of the window with swollen eyes that remained only two slits.
Just when Jiang Xixi thought he was going to wipe his mouth and walked towards them, his body suddenly fell backwards, falling lightly like a leaf into the sticky blood, struggling with his hands and feet a few times, and slumping down softly.
He was finally freed.
Jiang Xixi was silent for a long time, until Uncle Qi rushed out of the courtyard while shouting "Epidemic, epidemic is coming again", she was full of excitement, and hurriedly pushed Yu Wuxian to run out of the courtyard.
But he didn't run a few steps, but the back of his hand was held down by a cold hand.
"Miss Jiang, we can't just leave."
Yu Wuxian's face was pale, but the words he said were firm and irrefutable, "At this temperature, within a few hours, the corpse will rot and stink, and at that time, the spread of the epidemic will be inevitable," he resolutely sat up straight, "The tragedy of sixteen years ago cannot be repeated in Tamsui Town." ” Jiang Xixi looked at the thin figure sitting on the four-wheeled car, the tense heartstrings slowly eased, she turned to the front of the car, and looked directly into Yu Wuxian's eyes, "Yu Gongzi, you say, what should we do now?"
” "Miss Jiang is willing to help me?"
"If I leave like this, I'm afraid I won't have the shame to go back to my homeland."
Yu Wuxian didn't understand the deep meaning of her words, but he had no intention of pursuing it, because there was a sudden burst of exclamations from the medical hall, thinking that Uncle Qi had brought out the shocking news and disturbed a pool of still water.
"Light a fire, burn the house, I remember my mother-in-law said that if you want to get rid of the roots, you can only use fire burning."
Yu Wuxian's eyes swirled around in the courtyard, and finally landed on a stack of firewood that was stacked high next to him, "Miss Jiang, use these firewood to block the doors and windows, and then set them on fire, this house is a single house, the fire should not spread, as long as the corpse is completely burned, the epidemic will not spread." ” Jiang Xixi hurriedly did as he said, and when she carried the last pile of firewood to the windowsill, she glanced into the house, only to see that the man's eyes were not completely closed, and the black sores all over his body were still dripping thick water.
She shuddered, took a few steps back, threw a firewood into the house, and then pushed Yu Wuxian to retreat aside, the two watched the flames jump higher and higher, and the crackling sound of doors and windows and furniture kept coming from the house, and their hearts settled down a little.
Little by little, the orange flames climbed into the sky, merging with a reddish fiery cloud, staining the sky like a red cloth.
"It should be fine."
Jiang Xixi watched the beams of the house break in two and the roof collapsed, and said to herself.
Yu Wuxian frowned lightly, "The matter is not over yet, this person must not be the source of the epidemic, although he was burned, but it is difficult to ensure that others will not be infected, these days, I still have to remind the townspeople to be more careful."
He looked back at Jiang Xixi, "Miss Jiang, how did you find out that he was infected with the epidemic, when I saw him, I thought that those wounds were traumatic injuries caused by falling from a cliff." ” "Mrs.
Fan said that people who are infected with the epidemic will have swelling in the neck, armpits, legs and other places, and there will be fist-sized blood bags, and when I found this person at the bottom of the valley, although he was covered in injuries, his neck was not swollen, and Dr.
Cao said that his wounds did not improve, but festered and leaked pus, so I suspected that he was infected with the disease."
As he was talking, a lot of townspeople suddenly crowded into the courtyard, they all saw the fire and rushed in, Uncle Qi was also among them, he tentatively looked into the house, "Young master, that person's body has been burned?"
” Yu Wuxian nodded, "Uncle Qi, you will go to Yizhou tomorrow to buy a few truckloads of honey locusts and come back, maybe you can use them in Tamsui Town."
After speaking, just as he was about to order him to push himself out, the townspeople suddenly knelt down in unison, "The reincarnation of the silkworm god, Yu Gongzi is really the reincarnation of the silkworm god, if it weren't for you, how could Tamsui Town avoid this catastrophe." ” "Why do you look sad today?"
"Hey, haven't you heard?
Something happened to the adults in the capital, but he was our adult's teacher in the past, and he was also the backer behind him. ” "Ah, he's a servant, what can happen?"
"Didn't his stupid son marry a new daughter-in-law recently?
But on the day of the wedding, the bride waited in the house, waited, did not wait for the groom, guess what, it turned out that the morning someone sued the royal court, put an account book in front of the Daqing Palace, on the top is the evidence of cutting corners when the Lord supervised the construction of the Yellow River Dam, it is said that he was greedy for six hundred taels of silver from this project alone, the saint was furious, and immediately ordered someone to arrest him to Dali Temple for interrogation, but who would have thought, the saint arrived at the Yu Mansion, but found that their family of three was gone, it turned out that he received a message early in the morning, and the family fled, They haven't caught it yet. ” "It's strange, the palace is guarded so strictly, who is so capable of putting the account books outside the Daqing Palace?"
"Who knows, in short, this matter is very strange, Lord Yu Fang originally wanted his son to marry a daughter-in-law and add a grandson to the family, but who knew that it ended up like this, so our adults didn't have a good face all day."
Jiang Xixi, who was hiding behind the pillars, heard the conversation between the two officials word for word, and a layer of sweat broke out on her back, the sweat dried, and her clothes stuck to the back of her heart, revealing a comfortable coolness.
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, she reached out to wipe them, just wiped them dry, but her lips couldn't help but bloom a relieved smile, she just stood outside the yamen crying and laughing, completely ignoring the pointers of passers-by at her.
Yes, the feeling of the rest of her life after the catastrophe is too wonderful, not only does she not have to marry that Yu Guoyan now, but in a few days, she should be able to go back to Xin'an City, and she can see adults and Xun'er again, by the way, and Miss Yan, she must have made a lot of efforts in this matter, and when the time comes, she must thank her well.
"Miss Jiang."
Fan Qing's voice came from inside the yamen, she looked pale, but her spirit seemed to be much better than a few days ago, Yu Wuxian beside her looked worried, "Fan Qing is not happy to eat and sleep inside, Miss Jiang, please take care of her after she goes back." ” Jiang Xixi put aside her own affairs for the time being, ran a few steps to Fan Qing's side and grabbed her hand, "Great, my aunt is anxious to wait at home, come back with me." ” Fan Qing smiled at her lightly, "Wait for me, I have something to say to Yu Gongzi, and we'll go home when we're done." ”
