Husband and wife ancient struggle plan

Chapter 49

  If we want to talk about the villagers rescued by the big ship caravan, we have to start talking about it a few months ago.

The wharf that Lu Yang and others are about to arrive at is the last border town of Nanming, named Marlowe Town.

Although this is just a small town, but because it is located on the only way for business exchanges between the Southern Ming Kingdom and the Northern Territory Kingdom, and next to the Dadu Canal that runs through the north and south, there are many caravans coming and going, so this border town is very prosperous.

But this bustling town was destroyed by a sudden plague in just a few months, and the number of people in Marlow Town at this moment is less than half of what it used to be!

No one knew where the source of the plague came from, but it was too late when people found out, and those infected with the plague would never survive seven days.

In order to prevent the plague from spreading, the imperial court has sent troops to blockade the entire town of Marlowe. In order to avoid causing panic, news of the plague has also been suppressed.

However, although the news was blocked, the plague has not been resolved. In a short period of time, not to mention the people in the town, many soldiers who came to suppress the plague have died because of the plague. Failed to find a cure and the source of the disease.

Therefore, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, the imperial court had to adopt the most extreme method, that is, blockade and destroy the city. Otherwise, according to the current speed of the spread of the disease, not only this small town will suffer, but all towns on the entire frontier of Nanming Kingdom will be threatened!

This decision of the imperial court cannot be said to be right or wrong. It is a decision that any high-ranking person would make at the expense of the minority in consideration of the overall situation. However, this is a huge bad news for the survivors in the city.

The news of the destruction of the city came from a soldier. Coincidentally, the soldier was from Marlow Town before his military service. In order to save his family members trapped in the city, the soldier chose to betray and sneaked into the city overnight to destroy the imperial court. The news spread, and took advantage of the chaos to run out with his family members.

As soon as the news of the destruction of the city spread, the survivors in the entire town of Marlow exploded. The people who were already tense because of the fear brought about by the plague completely collapsed and broke out.

Although the destruction of the city was later stopped by the new imperial court official, the impact of this news on everyone was not small. Regardless of the imperial court's suppression, and regardless of the new imperial court official's claim that he had found a cure for the disease, everyone Everyone took their luggage and fled in all directions.

The drowning villager rescued by Lu Yang's caravan was one of these escaped survivors. He was a short, ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

The man was already dying when he was rescued, but he passed away within half an hour after telling the news of the plague. After his death, the skin of his whole body was cyanotic and turned black and purple. Obviously, this was a person infected by the plague!

At the same time, the river crossing exits to other countries were also blocked, and officers and soldiers suppressed by the imperial court also followed. Because the large ship had contact with infected people, the imperial court detained the large caravan ship on the shore, and everyone could only wait on the ship. Return to the voyage only after no one is infected to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Lu Yang didn't expect to encounter such a situation. He had no choice but to follow the imperial court's arrangement and stay on the ship. He was a little worried. He didn't know how long he would be detained here. He was even more worried that the disease would really spread to the ship. Come.

Even if he is not a doctor, he is very clear about how severe the plague is. Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, random bird flu is enough for everyone to be in danger.

What's more, the conditions in ancient times were poor, so their lives were even more threatened. They had close contact with infected people before, and the situation was not very happy... They

all said what they wanted, and someone on the boat fell ill that night, but Lu Yang himself was fine. Yu Zongming, Gou Ershun and others who were traveling with him were all fine, but Tian Tian suddenly developed a high fever, and the beginning of infection is fever!

"Boss, all those who had a fever on board were taken away by officers and soldiers just now..."

Yu Zongming and others stood in Lu Yang's room, looking at the pale Lu Yang with a dignified expression. Although Gou Ershun didn't speak, he had already hid in a corner.

Now the epidemic situation is serious. No matter who it is, as long as there is a slight symptom of the epidemic, the imperial court will not let it go, and all of them will be sent to the town for isolation and isolation.

Lu Yang didn't speak, staring at Tian Tian who was lying on the bed in a coma, his heart was a little panicked and blocked, his mind was in a mess, he was silent for a long time before he found a pen and ink and quickly wrote a letter to Yu Zongming.

"Brother Yu, I want to disembark. Please help me watch the goods on this ship. If I don't come back, you can find a way to exchange these things for silver. Some of them will be used as rewards for this trip, and you will take this letter with you for the other part." Send it to Zhang Tianba's house in Zhangjia Village, Dongjin Town, trouble..."

Regardless of whether Tian Tian is infected with the disease or not, once he has a fever, the court will send him to the town for isolation. Lu Yang can't believe Tian Tian is infected with the disease. Even with the disease, it is impossible to hand over people like this.

At this moment, Lu Yang began to regret in his heart. He regretted that he brought people out carelessly. Even if there was no plague, there would still be many dangers on the road to the Northern Territory. The little beggar didn't have to take risks at all, it was all his fault!

But it is useless to regret now, the only thing he can do is to disembark with Tian Tian, ​​but he has to make some arrangements before disembarking, Yu Zongming is an upright and trustworthy person, Lu Yang is very relieved to entrust the matter to him, but even if he is not at ease There is no other way, I can't leave it to Gou Ershun...

After explaining to Yu Zongming, Lu Yang packed up his things, carried Tian Tian, ​​who was unconscious on his back, and followed the officers and soldiers off the boat into Marlowe Town. Corpses, the once bustling town was deserted.

Lu Yang didn't go with other people who disembarked from the boat, but found a vacant house with Tian Tian behind his back to live alone.

Everyone in the town is almost dead now, and all those who survived closed their doors and hid in their homes. The vacant houses like the one Lu Yang found were either from people who died of the disease, or they packed up their things and ran away.

It is not yet confirmed whether Tian Tian is really infected with the disease. At this time, it is the best choice to act alone. If there are too many people, it will be easier to get the disease. Before Tian Tian gets better, Lu Yang must also ensure that he does not contract the disease. just do.

After putting Tian Tian in place, Lu Yang put on his clothes again, covered his nose and mouth with full armor, and went out to the town clinic to buy some medicine. He saw many people buying medicine there just now, so he had to try it no matter if it worked or not. Try, can't wait and do nothing.

The medicines in the medical center are not cheap, and there are black-hearted people making disasters at any time. Lu Yang bought two packs of medicine for treating high fever and spent more than half of the money he took off the boat.

But at this time, I can't control so much, no matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it. If Tian Tian doesn't take medicine, it will be even more dangerous if Tian Tian's high fever won't subside!

But what Lu Yang didn't expect was that when this person was unlucky, he drank saliva and stuffed his teeth. As soon as he left the gate of the medical clinic, he was rushed by a lunatic, and his arm was severely bitten.

"Die, go to hell! Why do you live? I want to die. Die, die, hahaha..." The

lunatic's face turned black, his skin was festered. It was obvious that he was infected by the plague. At this moment, the lunatic was attacking everywhere. The people around looked crazy, and the shadow of death made him extremely collapsed, and his heart was distorted.

Lu Yang looked at the madman in front of him who was coaxed by the crowd to be infected with the disease, and then saw that his bloody arm sank to the bottom of the valley, and the eyes of the people around him turned into fear and fleeing.

Lu Yang didn't join the crowd besieging the lunatic. Lu Yang took a deep breath, turned around and quickly went back with the medicine. Tian Tian was worried and couldn't wait in the yard alone. He couldn't waste time. Anyway, his little beggar There must be nothing wrong!

When Lu Yang returned to the yard, Tian Tian had already woken up. Although he didn't look very well, Lu Yang was relieved, and quickly fried the medicine and fed it to others.

Seeing the pitiful boy staring at his already darkened face, Lu Yang felt flustered, had a fever, and his face turned dark. If other symptoms appeared, he couldn't lie to himself that Tian Tian just had a common fever and cold...

"It's okay, just a little fever and cold, you'll be fine after taking the medicine, big brother will be with you, it's okay, it's okay..."

Hugging the boy, Lu Yang patted his back while murmuring, not knowing what it was While comforting Tian Tian, ​​he was still comforting himself, he really couldn't imagine what would happen if his little beggar really caught the disease.

Although Tian Tian woke up, he was in a dazed state at the moment. He heard Lu Yang's voice, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about. He could only lean on Lu Yang and listen to the safety brought by the other party's heartbeat. feel.

The night is silent, especially in a small town where most of the people died in a short period of time. There is a rotten smell in the silent air, and the shadow of death hangs over everyone.

This smell was too familiar to a person who had already died once. Lu Yang hugged the half-awake Tian Tian and leaned against the head of the bed, the panic in his heart was magnified infinitely.

He has never felt so scared and flustered like now. Even if he has encountered many difficulties and tribulations, he still has the leisure to complain about the pain in his heart, but now, he can't hold anything in his mind except Tian Tian.

He just confessed his love to the little beggar, just found out that the little beggar also likes him, they just started their sweet love, how could his little beggar leave like this...

On the first night in the small town, Lu Yang Sleepless all night, hugging Tian Tian's body to feel the other's body temperature, for fear that the warm boy in his arms will turn into a cold corpse in the next moment.

It wasn't until Tian Tian's high fever temporarily subsided the next morning that the panic in Lu Yang's heart subsided by half, and a thin layer of scars formed on the place where the lunatic bit him on his arm. Physical fitness seems to be good, and has not been infected.

At the same time, the lunatic who bit Lu Yang could not have survived the night according to the doctor's words, but miraculously survived until dawn, and the disease began to improve...
