But now it's useless to think about this, the adults are not there, and Miss Yan is not there, so I can only rely on my own head.
Jiang Xixi cheered herself up in her heart, and ran towards Yufu at a faster pace, she didn't dare to walk the alley, only dared to walk the main street of Tamsui Town, because every time she passed through an alley, she could hear the "creaking" chewing sound inside, those small things that were usually hidden in the dark were now gathering together in groups, and what they were desperately eating was the most hated creature on weekdays: cats.
It's just that now these cats have become food in their mouths, and there are too many mice, and cats are powerless to resist, just like those silkworm seedlings, they have become the belly of mice.
The defense line in her heart almost collapsed, but at this moment, she saw a few glimmers of light.
Yu's mansion is not far away, in the closed door, there is an orange-red light, Jiang Xixi gasped heavily, his eardrums were about to be blown up by his own wheezing sound, but his feet still didn't stop, and the hope that was extinguished in his heart was rekindled little by little: the lights were on in Yu's mansion, which was great, which proved that Yu Wuxian was not afraid of the arrival of silkworms like others, curled up in a corner of the house, he must be thinking about countermeasures, thinking about how to expel the epidemic from Tamsui Town.
By the way, yesterday he also said that Uncle Qi would go to buy honey locusts, with this thing, and then close the door and confinement to bathe and change clothes according to the adult's method, and the epidemic will be the same as sixteen years ago, and it will disappear without a trace.
Thinking so, Jiang Xixi had already stepped on the stone steps in front of Yu's mansion, and she slammed the door, "Yu Gongzi, it's me, please open the door quickly, I have something to discuss with you." ” Waiting left and right, the gate did not move, she panicked: Is there no one in Yufu?
She leaned her whole body on the door panel, listening carefully to the movement inside, there was no sound in the door, the silence was scary, this is not normal, the maid in the Yu Mansion is not less than thirty, not to mention the crowd on weekdays, but it is also lively, never like today, quiet like a lonely tomb.
In a panic, Jiang Xixi desperately pushed the door a few times, and found that the door was bolted from the inside and could not be opened at all, so she put her eyes on the crack of the door, trying to find out from this narrow small slit.
The lights in Yu's house were bright, and the oil lamps in the courtyard were lit, reflecting the entire courtyard into an orange red, looking peaceful and peaceful.
But in this quiet room, there is no one in the room, where did those maids go?
Where did Yu Gongzi go?
Could it be that rats are now attacking not only silkworm seedlings and domestic cats, but also people?
Thinking of this, she "chuckled" in her heart, turned around and was about to jump in from the high wall, but at the moment she turned around, a white shadow and two points of green faint light flashed in the crack of the door, and then, the door opened, Jiang Xixi didn't have time to retreat, and the whole person was planted into the door.
Uncle Qi pushed Yu Wuxian to appear between the two gates, Jiang Xixi saw that it was him, and hurriedly got up from the ground to protect the two of them, pulled out the long sword he wore with one hand, and looked at every corner of the courtyard vigilantly, "Yu Gongzi, is there anyone else in the courtyard?"
” Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of alarming something, because she could see clearly just now, and the two fluctuating lights were the fluorescence from the eyes of the mouse.
"People?
The maids and the people have all run away, and now in the entire Yu Mansion, except for me and my mother-in-law, only Uncle Qi remains.
Yu Wuxian smiled bitterly.
"Really, not?"
Jiang Xixi was still relieved, her eyes searched up and down the Yu Mansion, even the most cramped corners.
"Even if there are rats, it's not surprising, anyway, the entire Tamsui Town is now occupied by rats."
"You know everything?"
"When I came back from Yamen today, the people told me that all the silkworm seedlings had been eaten, and everyone said that the silkworms had returned, and they were so frightened that they all fled home before the evening."
"You mean everyone in the house has fled?"
Yu Wuxian nodded lightly, and came to the front hall with Jiang Xixi, he ordered Uncle Qi to make tea, and he looked at Jiang Xixi with a sad face, "My own family's business is nothing, but just now, Uncle Qi drove to buy honey locusts in other places, but he turned back halfway." ” "Why?"
"The mountain has collapsed, and the falling rocks have blocked the road to the outside, and now not only the people in the town can't get out, but also the people from outside can't get in."
Jiang Xixi was shocked, "How can this be, when you come back at noon, you will be fine?"
” "I don't understand, Uncle Qi said that even the silkworm temple collapsed, and the statue of the silkworm god was split into several pieces, and he also said that this is a bad omen," Yu Wuxian raised his head, his eyes were reflected by the candle flames, "Miss Jiang, a few days ago you asked me if I believed in silkworms, and I firmly told you that I didn't believe it, but now, my heart is also shaken."
Now the situation in Tamsui Town is the same as sixteen years ago, you say, will it be the silkworm that has woken up and returned to this town?
” These words made Jiang Xixi's heart cold, but fortunately, Uncle Qi served a cup of hot tea, and she held the warm teacup in her hand, so that the blood in her body slowly warmed up, and her brain came back to her senses.
"By the way, I almost forgot, just now I went to the hospital and found that Dr.
Cao seems to be infected with the epidemic, and now people don't know whether he is dead or alive."
"Dr.
Cao?"
Yu Wuxian exclaimed, and then regained his composure, "He has the most contact with that person, and it is possible to be infected by him." ” "So what to do now?
Whether the person is dead or not, you can't let him stay in the hospital. ” Yu Wuxian stared at her, his young eyes were full of vicissitudes, "There is no difference between him dying or not, now everyone is in danger, no one is willing to take risks for others, I will ask Uncle Qi to inform his family in a while, explain all the benefits and disadvantages, and see how they deal with it." ” Although Jiang Xixi was unwilling to accept it in her heart, she also knew that this was the only way, she turned around and told Uncle Qi a few words, drank the hot tea in the cup in one go, and then stood up, "I can only take one step at a time, Yu Gongzi, I want to go back, my aunt's medicine can't be bought, I'm afraid that Fan Qing won't be able to take care of it alone." ” After speaking, before Yu Wuxian answered, she walked non-stop towards the outside of the courtyard, and her steps were hurried and fast.
She was worried about Mrs.
Fan, this is true, but the main reason is not this, now, she just wants to get as far away from the Yu Mansion as possible, everything in this courtyard is weird, if it weren't for the keen insight accumulated over the years of handling cases, she might not notice the blood stains in the corner that have been cleaned, let alone the thing in Uncle Qi's cuffs, although it is just a flash in the pan, but it was firmly captured by her.
