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.
