Chapter 667: Refugees from the Plague Area Sneak In
The two men found a total of three silver grains and two handfuls of flour in the pockets of the corpse.
One of the men looked at the other and said hesitantly:
"Third brother, this silver barley is one yuan extra, what do you think we should do..."
Before he could finish, the other man threw two of the silver grains to him.
"Sixth Brother, we are brothers.
My parents and other brothers all died in the plague area, and only we two brothers escaped alive.
After finally climbing over the extremely dangerous cliffs, they finally entered the safe territory of King Huai.
Don't worry, Third Brother will definitely protect you and won't let you suffer any harm.
We two brothers will definitely be able to live well here."
The man called Lao Liu held the two pieces of silver in his hand and looked at his third brother with gratitude.
Here the two brothers show their deep brotherly love.
The man who ran away before was now performing a race against time.
Some people, confident of their skills, wanted to take the opportunity to grab more things and chase after others.
The people being chased were afraid of being caught up, so they ran for their lives in all directions.
Needless to say, it is thrilling and exciting.
The next day, these refugees who fled from outside also found a temporary place to stay.
At this time, on a steep mountain to the north of King Huai's fiefdom.
The patrolling soldiers discovered a dozen refugees running in.
After they caught the man, they questioned him.
Only then did I realize that several groups of refugees who had escaped from the plague area had passed by on this road.
The soldiers' faces changed drastically when they heard this and they quickly reported it.
However, the information from the border area reached the provincial capital.
It was three days later that King Huai's order was issued.
During this period, a convoy was responsible for transporting medicinal materials to various counties and cities.
I saw a man lying on the ground on the road.
Logically, they should have gone around it and passed through quickly.
But someone in the convoy saw the man on the ground move.
The man on the ground was a little sober after hearing the noise.
Seeing someone passing by, he called for help in a hoarse voice.
Finally, one of the team leaders couldn't stand it anymore and took the person into the car.
When the team arrived at the gate of Yining County, the convoy stopped briefly.
The leader of the convoy held a token and shouted to open the city gate, and then four carriages loaded with medicinal herbs entered the city.
Behind the convoy, there was the young leader who picked up someone.
He quickly built a simple stove, took out his own medicine bag, and started to boil the medicine.
Seeing this, many people in the nearby convoy also came over to watch.
Before the convoy left the city, the medicinal soup was finally prepared.
After the team leader gave the man the drug, he placed him in a forest not far from the city gate.
Looking at the unconscious man lying on the ground, the young leader sighed.
"I tried my best. Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate!"
A quarter of an hour later, the convoy gradually moved away.
A quarter of an hour later, the gate of Yining County was closed.
These days, in order to maintain stability in the city, the city is still closed.
The man woke up from his sleep and saw people patrolling on the city wall.
He struggled to stand up and walked towards the city gate.
While the soldiers were on guard, they discovered that the people in the convoy were feeding medicine to the man.
At this moment, a man came over to ask for help.
The soldiers standing guard on the city wall looked at the man under the wall and hesitated for a while.
Finally, a soldier went to get food and a medicine pack and threw them to the man below.
The man thanked her gratefully and returned to the woods with the things.
Over the next two days, the soldiers guarding the city often saw the man fetching water from a puddle.
But from the third day on, the man never came out again.
The soldiers also had a premonition of this.
At the same time, the team leader and several others in the convoy transporting medicinal herbs fell ill.
Their companions fed them medicinal soup to treat the epidemic, but found that it had no effect.
Only then did they realize that this epidemic was different from previous ones.
The team recalled the situation and finally attributed the cause of the disease to the man saved by the team leader.
After summarizing, they found that the incubation period of this epidemic was much longer than before.
But after the onset of the disease, the course of the disease is very fast.
What everyone in the team didn't know was.
A new round of plague broke out in the two cities their caravan passed through in the past few days.
The new virus takes up residence in the new host at an extremely fast speed.
Prince Huai's Palace.
King Huai listened to Liu Jiaqi's report and pinched his brows with a headache.
A few days ago, the border area's work of providing relief and accepting disaster victims was progressing steadily.
But in the process, some soldiers were inevitably infected.
But what is even more troubling is that a new type of virus has emerged these days.
Not only were people infected in the border area, but also in several cities within the fiefdom.
Previous epidemic prescriptions are basically ineffective against this new virus.
So far, anyone infected is doomed to die.
He has ordered that all areas within the fiefdom be sealed off.
Whether in cities or towns, do not go out.
During this period, anyone found walking alone will be arrested and detained.
In this way, although it is impossible to catch all the refugees who sneak in.
But we also do our utmost to protect the people under our rule from being infected by the latest virus.
After Liu Jiaqi finished reporting on his work and left, King Huai took Chief Steward Feng directly to see Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang was so busy that he had no time to see him.
King Huai looked at the long drooping bags under Doctor Zhang's eyes.
Looking at his completely white hair, I was extremely anxious.
The words that urged him to speak could not come out.
He knew that the old man had really tried his best.
This little ice age is really like a punishment from heaven.
He didn't know at what point this divine punishment would end.
Listening to the situation reports from various counties and cities every day was really a torture for him.
All he could do was try his best to protect the people under his rule.
Baoshan Town.
Lu Qingqing received the latest letter from King Huai.
The letter said that refugees from the plague area had recently sneaked in.
The new virus they carried caused many people to be infected.
The officers and soldiers from the border defense area followed along the route.
But the heavy rain for several days destroyed the traces.
They only caught two people, and the rest hid somewhere unknown.
The letter also mentioned that the convoy infected with the new virus had passed through Yining County, but fortunately Yining County was not infected.
At the end of the letter, it was emphasized that no treatment for the new virus has yet been developed.
Tell her to be careful and go out less in the near future.
After reading the letter, Lu Qingqing discussed it with Manager Hua and the guards.
It has been decided to strengthen the village’s defense starting today.
The number and frequency of daily patrols must be increased.
In addition, two separate teams of officers and soldiers were sent out during these days to follow the villagers to the fields.
Set a fixed working time every day, leave the village on time, and return to the village on time.
