Xie Yuheng looked at these two people. They looked a bit weird and couldn't speak.

Like Daliang people, but not very similar.

His eyes were evasive and erratic, and he didn't look like a good person.

Xie Yuheng thought for a moment and motioned to Rong Shi to find a villager to ask.

After a while, Rong Shi found an old woman with a cane from the dilapidated thatched house next to her.

Without him, all the sick would have been sent to the city's sanatorium.

As for the healthy and healthy men, they all went to build river embankments.

Building river embankments was managed by the imperial court, which could save some food for the family.

Furthermore, they will also be given some wages for food, not much, but better than nothing.

Therefore, only the old, the weak, the sick and the young are left in the village.

Grandma's clothes were ragged and she showed her few remaining teeth when she spoke.

"Ala Afa knows that Ilah is so busy, and his expenses are so high..."

"..."

Xie Yuheng helped his forehead, but the hard-working old man grumbled a lot.

She was stunned and didn't hear what the message was.

There was a gentle chuckle from behind, like a spring breeze.

"Grandma said that these two people probably arrived here last month."

"She only lives in a shack upstream of the stream on weekdays. She doesn't know where exactly she is from."

"I heard from people in the village that these two are mute and brothers. Before the river burst its embankment, they made a living by collecting food and begging in the city."

Xie Yuheng smelled the elegant orchid scent and knew who was coming without turning around.

She looked at the mute brother calmly and said, "When did eldest brother secretly learn Qian Tang dialect?"

"I followed the disaster relief people from the Ministry of Revenue and worked hard for several days, but I can only understand it a little bit."

"Say, I won't say it."

Xie Mingli curled his lips and smiled, and followed Xie Yuheng's gaze.

Then, his eyebrows also frowned fiercely.

These two people have the appearance of a man with a crown of hair, and they look like they are in their twenties or thirties.

Even this boy is not much taller than Yuheng, not even half a foot taller.

Although there are some men from poor families who are not tall, they are not this short.

The brother and sister were thinking about it, and the plum blossom clouds were jumping up and down, touching left and right.

Finally, he stood next to Rong Shi, who he thought had the highest strength.

With a straight face, he pretended to be intimidating and said: "You two are going to check it out, take out the household registration and take a look."

"Gah, gah, gah..."

A tawny shelduck and two ducklings strutted past Mei Xingyun.

Mei Xingyun felt that his dignity had been greatly insulted!

He took a few steps forward, pointed a folding fan at the two of them, and repeated his words.

Maybe his expression was too scary, or maybe the 'mute brother' was lonely and timid, but he still didn't make any expression.

Just as Xie Yuheng was thinking about whether these two people were both mute and deaf, something strange happened.

One of them punched Mei Xingyun with lightning speed, and then quickly fled into the forest.

Although the two were short in stature, their legs and feet were extremely fast, as if they were being chased by the Lord of Hell, and their unlimited potential was stimulated.

Unfortunately, it was not as fast as the arrow in Xie Yuheng's hand.

After one person was hit by an arrow in the calf, she was quickly caught up by the two soldiers assigned to her by Zhuang Yun, and they were tied up and brought back.

At this time, people in Qiantang County were panicked and everyone was in danger.

Ten days have passed since the city was closed, and people from the Yangzhou Medical Office came one after another, including even the imperial doctors from the capital city.

However, the smoke from burning corpses in the west of the city continues every morning, and the low, restrained coughs from neighbors increase sharply at night.

If everyone in the city coughs it, but there is still no cure, the only thing waiting for the people of Qiantang is to burn the city.

Everyone felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on them, so heavy that they could hardly breathe.

Finally, when the daily decoction was distributed on this day, someone couldn't hold it in and completely broke out.

"Drinking this bitter medicine soup every day will make my tongue taste bitter."

"I haven't seen one less person coughing and hemoptysis. They are drinking from your uncle, you are a bunch of quacks!"

The man kicked the hot pot of soup, but the servant behind him couldn't dodge, and most of his body was doused with hot soup.

"what--"

The guards screamed in pain, like the horn of attack, and several strong men kicked the soup and the stove.

It's already a hot summer day, and boiling hot soup is added to it.

For a moment, the shack where the medicine was distributed was as terrifying as hell on earth, with flesh and skin rolling and blood flowing everywhere.

What's more, he directly grabbed the woman next to him, raised and lowered her hands, and kneaded her into a round shape.

The man slapped the struggling woman beneath him hard and cursed:

"Pretend to be a chaste and martyr woman for me. Your tuberculosis ghost has been in trouble for several days."

"Is it possible that you still expect him to come back and save you? Hahahaha——"

The woman felt like her throat was being strangled, and she cried silently.

This is the most remote place in the south of the city.

Even the patrolling soldiers would need a cup of tea to get back and forth. Who could come to save her...

Facing a pair of watery eyes in the narrow alley facing the street, the woman shook her head desperately.

Don't come out, girl, don't...

These people are no longer human beings, they are animals.

Her daughter is only five years old, in case the beasts attack her.

She is still so young, how will she live in the future...

There was another slap in the face, and the man spat on her face and cursed her as a bitch.

Taking advantage of the woman's dizziness, she made a clatter and openly started to do her dirty work.

The girl in the alley was confused and saw her mother being pinned down and beaten.

Angrily, he threw away the grasshopper made by his father and rushed towards the man with his little fists waving.

"You are not allowed to bully my mother——"
