I'm Always the Villain
Chapter 132 Pope 5
A plague will break out in this country in the near future, and the source of the plague is in today's hardest-hit area.
Including Sang Jiuchi and Hull, there were a total of [-] believers who went there.
Before setting off, Sang Jiuchi had asked people to prepare mugwort leaves. They brought enough necessary materials such as towels and wet cloths and started heading towards the destination.
The imperial capital is the most prosperous city in the entire empire.But on the fringes of the empire, there are still some slums that no one cares about.
This time they went to this slum.
The national strength of the Mance Empire is the strongest among the three empires, especially their armored infantry is extremely brave.But they are brave, and others have tricks.
When the Mance Empire was fighting the enemy bravely, the enemy pointed their finger at the heart of the empire - the imperial capital.
They threw the rotting cattle and sheep that had died for a long time into the outer river. This city is not rich in water resources. The rich areas can enjoy unlimited water, but the wells in the slums are strictly controlled by the government, and each household has a limited amount of water. supply.
In order to meet the daily water needs, some people in the slums will go to the middle reaches of the outer river to fetch water, and some people will wash and wash clothes directly in the lowest reaches.
The rotting cattle and sheep became diseased and produced viruses, which quietly infected people in these slums.
Gradually, large-scale collective illnesses occurred in the slums.
If people in wealthy areas show symptoms of illness, they will definitely seek medical attention immediately, and this disaster can also be discovered in time.
However, the people suffering from the disease happen to be slums with no extra money. Their money is only enough for their daily needs, not to mention going to the doctor, and they are even reluctant to buy water.
Generally speaking, people in the slums often choose to endure it. If they can't bear it, they will go to the doctor. But at that time, the minor illness has become a serious illness, and they are often unable to recover.
In this highly hierarchical country, the lives of the poor are worthless.
If placed in peacetime,
If there is a large area of illness in an area, the officials in charge of this area will also notice it, and then guess the possibility of the plague.
But now it is precisely the time of war, and almost all the idle troops that can be used in the back row of the imperial capital have been transferred to the battlefield or more useful positions. The troops in places like slums immediately become weaker, so the matter of illness has not been taken seriously.
Until things became unstoppable, the first dead person appeared in the slums, followed by the second.
More and more dead people were carried out from the slums, and people realized that the safest imperial capital had already become a hotbed of plague.
By the time they reacted, the plague had already spread throughout the city.
The emergence of the plague was the trigger for the decline of the Holy See culture.In the face of helpless death, people began to transfer their desire to survive to the almighty God of Light.In the original plot, the original owner was raised in the temple for more than half a month after being whipped. During this half month, Justin began to go out to the people and promote the culture of the Holy See in order to win contacts for himself.
The joy of the immediate victory dazzled his mind, making him unable to choose what to say, and even said something ridiculous that "the God of Light can heal diseases".
He gave the patients hope, but the patients only had despair in their hands. Deaths followed one after another, and people gradually began to question the God of Light and the Holy See.
Because of a plague, the Mance Empire, which had always been at an advantage on the battlefield, began to retreat steadily. This decline lasted for half a year.
Until the enemy country was about to attack the imperial capital, Hull led the iron cavalry of the Royal Knights into battle.
3 people faced an army of 30 people, and completed the counter-kill with an absolute disadvantage, and the enemy stopped the attack.
In the next three years, Hull led his iron cavalry to fight east and west, gradually changing from the original 30 army to 100, [-], and finally [-] million.
And Hull also changed from a small head of the Royal Knights to a great general. He led an army of millions under his command like a broken bamboo, but in just three years, he forced the Alpha Empire and the North Tower Empire to surrender.
Since then, there has been no tripartite confrontation in this continent, and the Sman Dynasty, which ruled the world, was born.
King Ino, who was enthroned as emperor, canonized Hull as a duke with a different surname, because the Holy See has long lost the support of the people. When King Ino sentenced the original owner to be burned at the stake for the crime of incitement, the people not only did not stand on the side of the Holy See as before, but also applauded. .
For that tragic plague, someone must pay the price and bear the wrath of the wounded.The Holy See and the original owner became scapegoats.
The culture of the Holy See was wiped out, and the last shackles on Ino's body were completely broken.From then on, the beast came out of the box, and no force could restrain this giant beast anymore.
This is the end of the plot, and everything seems to be happy.
However, Sang Jiuchi knew that this story was far from over.
Ino has become the king ruling the entire continent, which means that he has the absolute right to kill and speak.Even if Hull was awarded the title of duke, he was only a duke after all.
One is the ace of spades in the playing card, and the other is the ace of spades in the playing card.
Hull, must lose.
It can be seen from Eno's treatment of Hull's sister that he is cruel and forbearing. In order to get Hull under his command and get close to Susan, who is completely inconsistent with his identity, he can finally take advantage of Susan's death. Buried a dark chess piece with a poisonous needle.
If this war is compared to playing chess, Ino is indeed a master of chess, and every chess piece is used to its full potential.He is a very experienced chess player, and he has released his ultimate move before others are confused.
Sang Jiuchi met Yinuo face to face on the first day, and based on the character profile he got from his deliberate temptation to Yinuo that day, Yinuo is irritable, self-willed and extremely conceited.
Another point is that he is short-sighted.
With his ability, it is impossible to think of such a long-term.
Unless there is someone behind him pointing out, Susan also told him that there are more powerful forces hidden behind Eno and Justin.
This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of familiarity and manipulation.
In the first plane, that person also hid behind his back, manipulating Song Qing to deal with the original owner and Dai Luolin.
That person is none other than a god of power.
Once again, he confronted the God of Quan.The first time he took advantage of the rules to win back a victory, it was a fluke victory.
But now, he has absolute power.He has already sat on both sides of the chessboard with Quanshen, he holds white pieces, and Quanshen holds black pieces.
Heizi goes first, followed by Baizi.
In this final chessboard battlefield, he will be the final victor, and embark on the road to becoming a god in the most noble posture.
Now, it is known that God of Quan has two pawns, Prince Ino and Justin, in his hands.
And there was nothing in his hand.
What he has to do now is to turn the surrounding resources into his pawns at all costs.
The thick black eyelashes were drawn back, covering up the ambition in Sang Jiuchi's eyes.
The carriage that Sang Jiuchi made today was very simple, with only two horses pulling the front of the carriage. In addition to Sang Jiuchi and Hull in the carriage, the others rode in other carriages in batches.
It cannot be said that only Sang Jiuchi and Hull, Hull's sister Susan is also in this carriage.
Susan's expression was very depressed now, she sat cross-legged in the corner of the stool, her eyes were full of grievances.
Sang Jiuchi rubbed the slightly painful brows, and said: "When you get out of the car, you must wear a mask, and don't expose your mouth and nose during the whole process."
His expression was very serious, and Hull also became serious, "Could it be the plague?"
"Nine out of ten." Sang Jiuchi looked out the window at the trees that were quickly receding backwards, recalling the conversation with Hull last night.
In front of Susan, Sang Jiuchi asked Hell if he believed he could see Susan's soul.
Hull emphatically denies it.
He believes in the existence of souls in the world, but he doesn't think Sang Jiuchi has the power to see souls.
If Sang Jiuchi could see Susan's soul, why didn't he just be the murderer when he was wronged?Instead, wait until things are over before coming over and telling yourself.
Hull didn't believe it, so Sang Jiuchi didn't go any further.
That's why Susan put her legs cross-legged on the edge of the carriage today. She floated in front of Sang Jiuchi, and gave him a wronged look, "I used to think that my brother was upright, but now I think he is just a elm-headed man." , Oil and salt are not allowed. How about I tell you something that only my brother and I know, so that he will believe it."
Sang Jiuchi looked at Susan who hadn't given up yet, smiled and said, "It's not enough. His belief is too strong. Even if you tell him one or two things, your brother will only be suspicious. He believes too much. What his own eyes see, he will never believe unless he sees you."
He spoke directly.
In the empty carriage, Hull looked suspiciously at Sang Jiuchi who suddenly spoke to himself.
Sang Jiuchi's focus was always on one place, as if there was really someone there.
There are also "your brother" and "I trust my eyes too much" in his mouth. Even if he didn't mention his name, Hull knew that Sang Jiuchi was talking about himself.
He remembered the last words of Sang Jiuchi last night. After he rejected Sang Jiuchi's words, when he was about to arrive at his residence, Sang Jiuchi said something meaningful to him.
"Humans yearn for the light, and when they have their own sight, they begin to use their eyes to explore the truth in the world. However, the truth is often in the hands of a few people, not in the hands of the majority of people who can see the same things. Eyes see What is not necessarily true is not necessarily true, and what cannot be seen by the eyes is not necessarily false."
Hull chewed the meaning of his words, and subconsciously followed Sang Jiuchi's gaze to his focal position.
Sang Jiuchi, the magician, is scolding him indirectly by pretending to talk to his sister?
Feeling Hull's gaze, Susan excitedly flew around in the air, "My brother is looking at me, did he see me?!"
As if hearing some funny joke, Sang Jiuchi laughed, "Don't make trouble, it's impossible, just him?"
Susan was not happy anymore, she pulled Sang Jiuchi's sleeve and pointed at Hel, "Look at my brother, there is nothing wrong with him except his head."
Sang Jiuchi continued to laugh, "Don't you think his eyesight is not good either?"
One person, one ghost has the right to treat Hull as a display, and they had a great time chatting.
At first, Hull thought that Sang Jiuchi was talking to himself, but after hearing that Sang Jiuchi talked too much, he became curious.
He could only hear Sang Jiuchi's voice. As the other party in the conversation, he didn't know what he was talking about, and some information was very vague to his ears.
Sang Jiuchi seemed to be very happy chatting with his "sister", he even saw a rare smile on Sang Jiuchi's face.
What is Sang Jiuchi talking about, so happy.Even if he's talking about stand-up comedy, there's always a central theme, right?
What he heard in the center revolved around himself, so what about the theme?What about him?
Hull suddenly became curious, "What are you talking about?"
After asking, he was stunned, then looked away silently in embarrassment, and looked down at his close toes without looking sideways.
This is so embarrassing to death.Want to slap myself.
On the cheeks, there was suddenly some heat, and then it was hot.Soon, this hot feeling spread to the earlobe, even if Hull didn't look in the mirror, he knew that he was so ashamed that he blushed.
Suzan hovered in front of Hull in surprise and observed carefully. After a while, she pointed at Hull's ear and laughed twice, "My brother is so stupid."
Sang Jiuchi: "This is your brother."
Susan smiled slightly, "Yes, it's my brother, dear brother."
Sang Jiuchi: "According to genetics, which is what you call blood, intelligence is inherited. Your intelligence is similar to your brother's."
Susan's laughter stopped abruptly.
In the next second, a person and a ghost were sitting side by side opposite Sang Jiuchi.
The postures of the two are surprisingly consistent, with their legs close together, their bodies tense, and their eyes fixed on their toes.
Suddenly, the whole world was quiet.Sang Jiuchi was very relieved that Susan's noisy voice was gone.
The carriage traveled for about an hour and finally arrived at the destination.
However, when they were about to enter the slum area, they were stopped by someone.
The one who stopped them was none other than the guards in charge of patrolling the area.The faces of these guards were not very good, their eyelids were drooping downwards, the underside of their eyes was black and blue, and they were lifeless.
Seeing this, Hull put on a muffler, got out of the car and negotiated, "Why don't you let us in?"
The guards supported their crumbling bodies, "I can't go any further. A disease broke out in the slum. The officer asked us to seal off this area and prohibit people from entering or leaving."
The guards knew Hull, but now Hull was wearing the most common gray sacrificial robe of the Holy See, with a thick veil covering his face.They didn't associate the tall man in front of him with the royal knight beside Prince Ino at all, they just thought he was a missionary of the Holy See.
The guard clenched his fists and coughed, "The higher-ups have already let go. At present, the medical troops of the empire are all used for front-line support, and there is no extra medical power to help these inferior people. They can no longer go out to infect others. Let them stay inside." Fend on your own. Are you people from the temple? If you want to preach elsewhere, the situation here is already very serious. Even the God of Light can’t do anything about it, so don’t lose your life in vain.”
Sang Jiuchi got out of the car masked and looked at the guard, "You are sick too."
Seeing Sang Jiuchi's red-clothed archbishop's attire, the guards were stunned. They didn't expect to see the red-clothed archbishop here.
Sang Jiuchi's mouth and nose were covered by a red muffler, and he was wearing a thick hood, leaving only his eyebrows and eyes.
Seeing the other party's overly oriental facial features, the guards immediately guessed the other party's identity - Archbishop Sang Jiuchi in red.
Even if you haven't seen them before, the three cardinals are very recognizable.Sang Jiuchi is an oriental face, Justin is old and very tall and burly, and Maria is a woman.
The guard nodded, but then shook his head again, "I'm fine, I'll go back after my shift and ask the military doctor to prescribe me medicine."
Hull frowned, "Where are those people inside? There is no doctor? If the doctor doesn't go in, they can't get out. How can they treat the disease?"
The guard looked at Hull with a pair of dead eyes, "I know they are pitiful, but this is an order from above, and there is nothing we can do."
Sang Jiuchi: "Not only them, you also need to be quarantined. This is not an ordinary fever, this is a plague, and you have been infected by the plague. Who is your direct supervisor? Go to him immediately and ask him to return the virus immediately. All available doctors were called in, fighting for every opportunity to save lives."
Several guards were startled when they heard the word "plague", but soon gave a wry smile, "We can't make the decision, to tell you the truth. As early as two days ago, our chief packed up his things and brought a large army When we went to the front line, we left a few of us and a military doctor here. We couldn't find the officer at all, so how could we report?"
Hull frowned and looked at Sang Jiuchi: "Otherwise, I will write a letter to Prince Ino and ask him to send someone to support him."
The guards looked at each other with subtle expressions, "It is Prince Ino who told us to go and take everyone away for support. He knows that there is a widespread cold here, and it is his idea to isolate people."
Guard, "I heard Prince Ino speak that day. He said that it is not a pity for these people to die. There is no need to occupy medical resources and let them fend for themselves."
The guards laughed at themselves, "Although we are guards, we are not much nobler than the people in the slums. He left a few of us because he treated us as outcasts."
Hull was at a loss for words for a moment: "...".
These three princes have never been overly kind people, the eldest prince is bloodthirsty, and the second prince is cruel.In his cognition, only the third prince Ino still has humanity and knows how to care about the suffering of the people.
When he happened to be walking on the street, he saw Prince Ino helping an elderly woman, and he also saw him sending money out to help the poor.He doesn't even care about the ranks, and he is willing to make his love affair with his sister who is a commoner come to the public.
These are all things he witnessed with his own eyes.
In the end, he was willing to be loyal to Prince Eno, not because Susan kept saying good things about Eno, let alone because he was Susan's lover, but because he saw the responsibility of a monarch and the empire from Eno's actions. s future.
It's hard to imagine that this order was actually given by Prince Ino.
Hull was a little surprised, he looked at the soldier with sharp eagle eyes, "Are you sure it's Prince Ino?"
"I'm about to die," the soldier smiled wryly. "There's no need to lie to you, Your Excellency, the Archbishop in Red. The king has given up on us, but you came from afar. Are you here to save us?"
In fact, he was infected three days ago, and several other soldiers besides himself also showed more or less cold symptoms, and even the only military doctor who stayed behind started coughing today.
He is a sick person, and only he can truly feel the torment of illness.In just three days, he seemed to have lost a layer of skin.Before Sang Jiuchi came today, there was a faint omen of death in their hearts.
That's why when I heard Sang Jiuchi say that they were going to die today, he didn't show much surprise on his face.
Plague, a plague broke out here.
And they are at the center of the plague, and even infected with the plague.
No matter how calm his expression was, including the soldier in the worst condition, his heart was filled with great shock and horror.
When Prince Ino asked the officers to leave, did he know that what happened here was a plague?
If they don't know, they never treat the ghetto people as human beings.If they know that they still let the raging here, the situation will be even worse.
When Prince Yinuo and other dignitaries quietly left here, only Sang Jiuchi went against the wind and came to this place.
The soldiers were suddenly relieved that when everyone was most desperate, there were still some people who did not give up on them.
Sang Jiuchi was silent for a few seconds. He had already walked in front of the soldier and said in a low voice, "Stretch out your hand."
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand obediently.
Putting the index finger and middle finger together on the soldier's wrist, Sang Jiuchi took his pulse and then said, "Stick out your tongue."
The soldier didn't hesitate this time, he immediately stuck out his tongue obediently.
The tongue coating is already a thick layer of white, and the base of the tongue has also become purple.
Sang Jiuchi looked away from the soldier's bloodshot eyes again, and finally said, "You can no longer guard here, and you also need to rest. Can you let me in? I want to go in and have a look."
The soldiers looked at each other and finally seemed to have made up their minds.The leading soldier in the worst condition nodded, "Come in, but we can't rest. Someone needs to hold hands here."
Sang Jiuchi waved to the believers who had all got off the car, and all of his believers were wearing face scarves.Those holding Ai Ye in their hands were holding Ai Ye, and those holding face towels were full, obviously coming prepared.
"It doesn't matter, you go to rest, my priests will be here to guard. I brought a simple potion, you go back to your place to boil the medicine and drink it, and rest for a day. Also, let the rest of you The medic came to see me."
Sang Jiuchi's voice was not loud, but very gentle.
But everyone listened to it, but it had full weight.The soldiers looked at Sang Jiuchi, then at the believers holding a bunch of things in their hands, and finally compromised, "Okay, then I will trouble Your Excellency the Archbishop in Red."
After receiving the medicine, they didn't hesitate any longer and walked towards the camp not far from the slum.
When Sang Jiuchi appeared in the slums, most people were already waiting for death in despair. Under the mournful eyes of everyone, Sang Jiuchi slowly appeared in front of everyone like a ray of light piercing the darkness.
At that moment, all the pious believers in the slum knelt down on the ground.
Just two days ago, soldiers suddenly blocked the entrance to the slums and locked them inside.
Sang Jiuchi looked around in the crowd, and in the normal world of others, he saw countless death in Sang Jiuchi's eyes.
This disease has appeared silently for too long, and if it drags on for another week, the virus will split wildly and spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.
"Dear believers, I am Archbishop Sang Jiuchi in red. Just last night, I heard your cries for help."
"That's why I came here today." The people who were a little flustered by Sang Jiuchi's arrival relaxed in unison.
They boldly raised their heads and looked at the red-veiled archbishop in front of them, with a desire to survive in their eyes.
Someone bravely shouted: "Your Excellency, please save my mother! She has been coughing for five days, and she is getting weaker every day, and now she is lying on the bed dying."
As one person yelled, more and more people began to plead and tell about the torture they and their families had suffered.
The air that was calm because of awe just now became agitated in an instant, but they finally retained their last bit of awe, and instead of rushing to Sang Jiuchi, they just stretched out their arms to ask for help.
Often the patients themselves are the ones who can feel their illness the most directly. There are so many people around them who are sick, and deep down in their hearts, they have long been aware of their tragic fate.
Now that Sang Jiuchi suddenly appeared, everyone seemed to see the only life-saving straw, and they all pinned all their hopes on Sang Jiuchi.
The madness and pleading in people's eyes became more and more intense, and Hull subconsciously stood in front of Sang Jiuchi.
In the next second, he was gently pushed away by Sang Jiuchi.
Sang Jiuchi took a step forward, put his index finger in the air over his mouth and made a silent movement, "Quiet."
Just two simple words, everyone immediately stopped as if they had been pressed the pause button.
"I can't guarantee that everyone can be saved, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to save everyone here, provided that you cooperate with my treatment." Sang Jiuchi took Ai Ye from a priest, "I would now like to say the following."
"We're wearing enough face coverings, from now on everyone, and I'm talking about everyone, whether you're sick or healthy, put a face covering on."
"The water you drink must be completely boiled. No one is allowed to approach the river in the slums. There are rotting corpses in there. Your disease is transmitted from there."
"You don't have to worry about draft water. I have brought enough money to buy clean drinking water for you. But just buying water is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. I will try my best to find a suitable source of clean water for you."
"The Ai Ye I brought to you, don't feel sorry for the resources, as long as the Ai Ye is still there, let it keep burning."
"I brought some medicine today, and you all have to drink it after we finish cooking. From tomorrow, I will prescribe the medicine to the case, and the other thing is to keep the ventilation. Patients staying at home should not close the doors and windows all day, at least three times a day. Hours of ventilation time. In addition, I brought you a disinfectant, but this disinfectant is not for drinking, it is sprayed on the ground to kill diseases.”
"The smell of the disinfectant is a bit unpleasant, please be patient."
Sang Jiuchi finished the notes one by one, and then paused for two seconds, "Is there anyone here who is similar to the leader and patriarch?"
Among the crowd, a muscular middle-aged man stood up. The middle-aged man was very burly, but there was a black death in his eyes, "It's me."
"What's your name?" Sang Jiuchi asked.
Middle-aged man: "My name is Tolman, Your Excellency the Bishop."
Sang Jiuchi: "I will try my best to lead you to overcome the disease, but after all, I have limited personnel here, and I still need your help in many cases. I need you to organize personnel and supervise whether everyone is carrying out according to my requirements. Especially the river The source of water must not be approached again."
"Finally, I would like to say one more thing. From now on, everyone can get treatment, so please leave the priority of treatment to the seriously ill, the elderly and children. No noise and crowding are allowed. You are also required to maintain law and order. Done, Tolman, can you do it?"
Tolman's eyes were already red, and he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely follow your request."
Just now, he could only helplessly watch the people around him fall ill one by one.
Sang Jiuchi looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, everyone's cloudy eyes had slowly begun to recover.
He pondered for a moment, and finally said: "As long as we work together, we will surely overcome the disease. I have not given up on you, so don't give up on yourselves. This is a tough battle, and I believe the winner must belong to us."
In the crowd, the sound of sobbing suddenly broke out.
In endless despair, they finally waited for the hope of life.People hugged each other uncontrollably and cried, and finally got a little respite from the endless oppression of death.
Hull looked at these people who had regained their confidence, and felt countless emotions in his heart. His eye sockets were also a little red in places where people couldn't see, but he quickly took a deep breath and suppressed it.
Sang Jiuchi didn't say any more nonsense, and the next step was intensive treatment work.
The mugwort leaves were lit everywhere, and the slightly astringent scent immediately filled the area.
In the distance, the priests had already lit a bonfire, set up a pot and began to boil medicine.After a while, the bitter taste has spread.
Just smelling it, it feels particularly bitter.
Tolman is also worthy of being the patriarch here. He quickly gathered a group of strong young people. They arranged the patients in the order of serious illness, old people, children, women and strong men according to what Sang Jiuchi said just now. .
Sang Jiuchi was not idle either. Immediately after he finished speaking, he began to see patients.
Hull silently followed Sang Jiuchi in the posture of a guardian, while protecting Sang Jiuchi, while secretly observing Sang Jiuchi's every move.
Dirty quarters, smelly rooms, patients covered in vomit.
Sang Jiuchi didn't even frown, his eyes were extremely firm, without any disgust.
In his eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, only souls and lives waiting to be rescued.
The houses in the slums are all close to each other. Sang Jiuchi has not stopped seeing a doctor since the beginning. In the hot weather, a dense layer of sweat has begun to ooze from his forehead.
Seeing this, Hull pulled out a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and asked, "Do you want to take a break and drink some water?"
Sang Jiuchi had just watched an old man who was bedridden with a serious illness. He took a breath and shook his head, "I'll talk about it later. I want to collect all the symptoms of this disease first."
As he said that, he took a step and continued to walk towards the next patient's residence.
Hull watched from behind, and the young man in front of him looked more and more slender in the large red robe.
But now, he uses this slender body to prop up the sky in this dead zone.
On the way, Hull looked around.There were smiles on the faces of the people who were still lifeless just now.They haven't taken the life-saving medicine yet, but they have rekindled their hope of survival under the encouragement of Sang Jiuchi just now.
Disease is the most tormenting, especially at the end of the disease, it is not the disease itself that often kills people's lives, but the endless fear brought by the disease.
For the same disease, once people lose the will to survive, it is difficult to save this life.
Sang Jiuchi's last words, "I haven't given up on you, and you can't give up on yourself" still linger in Hull's mind.
It's just this sentence that binds himself to this group of patients.
He made the deepest commitment to his patients.
For the first time, Hull felt that his previous impression of Sang Jiuchi was a bit off.
He once thought that Sang Jiuchi was just a magic stick, using beautiful language to deceive the simple people.But now, he felt extremely powerful power from these words.
On the other hand, Prince Ino, whom he is loyal to, knew what happened here early on, not only did he not come to rescue him, but he gave up here instead.
Is the Prince Ino I saw with my eyes the real Prince Ino?
Or is it just the appearance that Prince Ino played for him?
Hull was lost in thought.
Sang Jiuchi worked for several hours. It was not until sunset that Sang Jiuchi collected enough samples to finish today's work.
Beside him and Hull, there was already a man wearing a white robe and a face scarf.
This man was the military doctor just now, and the soldiers had already taken the medicine and fell asleep.Because the military doctor has a certain medical foundation, the initial prevention is still in place, and the symptoms have just started to appear.
The potion prepared by the priests has been distributed to all the people and asked them to drink it.And beside the cauldron where the potion was boiling, another pot had already been set up.
The mellow meaty aroma emanates from the inside, arousing everyone's taste buds.
At this moment, Hull admired Sang Jiuchi's foresight very much.
If Sang Jiuchi hadn't asked Tolman to maintain order at the beginning, the looting incident might have occurred at this moment.
But now, under the supervision of Tolman and a group of young and middle-aged people, the boiled meat is distributed in an orderly manner.First came the seriously ill patients, then the elderly, children and women, and finally these young adults.
These meats were purchased with the money brought by Sang Jiuchi. Hull knew that the patient needed energy to be strong enough to resist the attack of the disease.
Sometimes the effect of food is more effective than medicine.
The tense expressions on everyone's faces had already relaxed. Some of them wolfed down the hard-won broth, while others slowly savored the taste of the meat.
After the tense emotions passed, people relaxed, and some people had not even returned home, and had fallen asleep sitting on the ground leaning against each other.
The place is still shrouded in deadly disease, but the atmosphere of fear and despair has quietly faded away.
Including Sang Jiuchi and Hull, there were a total of [-] believers who went there.
Before setting off, Sang Jiuchi had asked people to prepare mugwort leaves. They brought enough necessary materials such as towels and wet cloths and started heading towards the destination.
The imperial capital is the most prosperous city in the entire empire.But on the fringes of the empire, there are still some slums that no one cares about.
This time they went to this slum.
The national strength of the Mance Empire is the strongest among the three empires, especially their armored infantry is extremely brave.But they are brave, and others have tricks.
When the Mance Empire was fighting the enemy bravely, the enemy pointed their finger at the heart of the empire - the imperial capital.
They threw the rotting cattle and sheep that had died for a long time into the outer river. This city is not rich in water resources. The rich areas can enjoy unlimited water, but the wells in the slums are strictly controlled by the government, and each household has a limited amount of water. supply.
In order to meet the daily water needs, some people in the slums will go to the middle reaches of the outer river to fetch water, and some people will wash and wash clothes directly in the lowest reaches.
The rotting cattle and sheep became diseased and produced viruses, which quietly infected people in these slums.
Gradually, large-scale collective illnesses occurred in the slums.
If people in wealthy areas show symptoms of illness, they will definitely seek medical attention immediately, and this disaster can also be discovered in time.
However, the people suffering from the disease happen to be slums with no extra money. Their money is only enough for their daily needs, not to mention going to the doctor, and they are even reluctant to buy water.
Generally speaking, people in the slums often choose to endure it. If they can't bear it, they will go to the doctor. But at that time, the minor illness has become a serious illness, and they are often unable to recover.
In this highly hierarchical country, the lives of the poor are worthless.
If placed in peacetime,
If there is a large area of illness in an area, the officials in charge of this area will also notice it, and then guess the possibility of the plague.
But now it is precisely the time of war, and almost all the idle troops that can be used in the back row of the imperial capital have been transferred to the battlefield or more useful positions. The troops in places like slums immediately become weaker, so the matter of illness has not been taken seriously.
Until things became unstoppable, the first dead person appeared in the slums, followed by the second.
More and more dead people were carried out from the slums, and people realized that the safest imperial capital had already become a hotbed of plague.
By the time they reacted, the plague had already spread throughout the city.
The emergence of the plague was the trigger for the decline of the Holy See culture.In the face of helpless death, people began to transfer their desire to survive to the almighty God of Light.In the original plot, the original owner was raised in the temple for more than half a month after being whipped. During this half month, Justin began to go out to the people and promote the culture of the Holy See in order to win contacts for himself.
The joy of the immediate victory dazzled his mind, making him unable to choose what to say, and even said something ridiculous that "the God of Light can heal diseases".
He gave the patients hope, but the patients only had despair in their hands. Deaths followed one after another, and people gradually began to question the God of Light and the Holy See.
Because of a plague, the Mance Empire, which had always been at an advantage on the battlefield, began to retreat steadily. This decline lasted for half a year.
Until the enemy country was about to attack the imperial capital, Hull led the iron cavalry of the Royal Knights into battle.
3 people faced an army of 30 people, and completed the counter-kill with an absolute disadvantage, and the enemy stopped the attack.
In the next three years, Hull led his iron cavalry to fight east and west, gradually changing from the original 30 army to 100, [-], and finally [-] million.
And Hull also changed from a small head of the Royal Knights to a great general. He led an army of millions under his command like a broken bamboo, but in just three years, he forced the Alpha Empire and the North Tower Empire to surrender.
Since then, there has been no tripartite confrontation in this continent, and the Sman Dynasty, which ruled the world, was born.
King Ino, who was enthroned as emperor, canonized Hull as a duke with a different surname, because the Holy See has long lost the support of the people. When King Ino sentenced the original owner to be burned at the stake for the crime of incitement, the people not only did not stand on the side of the Holy See as before, but also applauded. .
For that tragic plague, someone must pay the price and bear the wrath of the wounded.The Holy See and the original owner became scapegoats.
The culture of the Holy See was wiped out, and the last shackles on Ino's body were completely broken.From then on, the beast came out of the box, and no force could restrain this giant beast anymore.
This is the end of the plot, and everything seems to be happy.
However, Sang Jiuchi knew that this story was far from over.
Ino has become the king ruling the entire continent, which means that he has the absolute right to kill and speak.Even if Hull was awarded the title of duke, he was only a duke after all.
One is the ace of spades in the playing card, and the other is the ace of spades in the playing card.
Hull, must lose.
It can be seen from Eno's treatment of Hull's sister that he is cruel and forbearing. In order to get Hull under his command and get close to Susan, who is completely inconsistent with his identity, he can finally take advantage of Susan's death. Buried a dark chess piece with a poisonous needle.
If this war is compared to playing chess, Ino is indeed a master of chess, and every chess piece is used to its full potential.He is a very experienced chess player, and he has released his ultimate move before others are confused.
Sang Jiuchi met Yinuo face to face on the first day, and based on the character profile he got from his deliberate temptation to Yinuo that day, Yinuo is irritable, self-willed and extremely conceited.
Another point is that he is short-sighted.
With his ability, it is impossible to think of such a long-term.
Unless there is someone behind him pointing out, Susan also told him that there are more powerful forces hidden behind Eno and Justin.
This is not the first time he has encountered this kind of familiarity and manipulation.
In the first plane, that person also hid behind his back, manipulating Song Qing to deal with the original owner and Dai Luolin.
That person is none other than a god of power.
Once again, he confronted the God of Quan.The first time he took advantage of the rules to win back a victory, it was a fluke victory.
But now, he has absolute power.He has already sat on both sides of the chessboard with Quanshen, he holds white pieces, and Quanshen holds black pieces.
Heizi goes first, followed by Baizi.
In this final chessboard battlefield, he will be the final victor, and embark on the road to becoming a god in the most noble posture.
Now, it is known that God of Quan has two pawns, Prince Ino and Justin, in his hands.
And there was nothing in his hand.
What he has to do now is to turn the surrounding resources into his pawns at all costs.
The thick black eyelashes were drawn back, covering up the ambition in Sang Jiuchi's eyes.
The carriage that Sang Jiuchi made today was very simple, with only two horses pulling the front of the carriage. In addition to Sang Jiuchi and Hull in the carriage, the others rode in other carriages in batches.
It cannot be said that only Sang Jiuchi and Hull, Hull's sister Susan is also in this carriage.
Susan's expression was very depressed now, she sat cross-legged in the corner of the stool, her eyes were full of grievances.
Sang Jiuchi rubbed the slightly painful brows, and said: "When you get out of the car, you must wear a mask, and don't expose your mouth and nose during the whole process."
His expression was very serious, and Hull also became serious, "Could it be the plague?"
"Nine out of ten." Sang Jiuchi looked out the window at the trees that were quickly receding backwards, recalling the conversation with Hull last night.
In front of Susan, Sang Jiuchi asked Hell if he believed he could see Susan's soul.
Hull emphatically denies it.
He believes in the existence of souls in the world, but he doesn't think Sang Jiuchi has the power to see souls.
If Sang Jiuchi could see Susan's soul, why didn't he just be the murderer when he was wronged?Instead, wait until things are over before coming over and telling yourself.
Hull didn't believe it, so Sang Jiuchi didn't go any further.
That's why Susan put her legs cross-legged on the edge of the carriage today. She floated in front of Sang Jiuchi, and gave him a wronged look, "I used to think that my brother was upright, but now I think he is just a elm-headed man." , Oil and salt are not allowed. How about I tell you something that only my brother and I know, so that he will believe it."
Sang Jiuchi looked at Susan who hadn't given up yet, smiled and said, "It's not enough. His belief is too strong. Even if you tell him one or two things, your brother will only be suspicious. He believes too much. What his own eyes see, he will never believe unless he sees you."
He spoke directly.
In the empty carriage, Hull looked suspiciously at Sang Jiuchi who suddenly spoke to himself.
Sang Jiuchi's focus was always on one place, as if there was really someone there.
There are also "your brother" and "I trust my eyes too much" in his mouth. Even if he didn't mention his name, Hull knew that Sang Jiuchi was talking about himself.
He remembered the last words of Sang Jiuchi last night. After he rejected Sang Jiuchi's words, when he was about to arrive at his residence, Sang Jiuchi said something meaningful to him.
"Humans yearn for the light, and when they have their own sight, they begin to use their eyes to explore the truth in the world. However, the truth is often in the hands of a few people, not in the hands of the majority of people who can see the same things. Eyes see What is not necessarily true is not necessarily true, and what cannot be seen by the eyes is not necessarily false."
Hull chewed the meaning of his words, and subconsciously followed Sang Jiuchi's gaze to his focal position.
Sang Jiuchi, the magician, is scolding him indirectly by pretending to talk to his sister?
Feeling Hull's gaze, Susan excitedly flew around in the air, "My brother is looking at me, did he see me?!"
As if hearing some funny joke, Sang Jiuchi laughed, "Don't make trouble, it's impossible, just him?"
Susan was not happy anymore, she pulled Sang Jiuchi's sleeve and pointed at Hel, "Look at my brother, there is nothing wrong with him except his head."
Sang Jiuchi continued to laugh, "Don't you think his eyesight is not good either?"
One person, one ghost has the right to treat Hull as a display, and they had a great time chatting.
At first, Hull thought that Sang Jiuchi was talking to himself, but after hearing that Sang Jiuchi talked too much, he became curious.
He could only hear Sang Jiuchi's voice. As the other party in the conversation, he didn't know what he was talking about, and some information was very vague to his ears.
Sang Jiuchi seemed to be very happy chatting with his "sister", he even saw a rare smile on Sang Jiuchi's face.
What is Sang Jiuchi talking about, so happy.Even if he's talking about stand-up comedy, there's always a central theme, right?
What he heard in the center revolved around himself, so what about the theme?What about him?
Hull suddenly became curious, "What are you talking about?"
After asking, he was stunned, then looked away silently in embarrassment, and looked down at his close toes without looking sideways.
This is so embarrassing to death.Want to slap myself.
On the cheeks, there was suddenly some heat, and then it was hot.Soon, this hot feeling spread to the earlobe, even if Hull didn't look in the mirror, he knew that he was so ashamed that he blushed.
Suzan hovered in front of Hull in surprise and observed carefully. After a while, she pointed at Hull's ear and laughed twice, "My brother is so stupid."
Sang Jiuchi: "This is your brother."
Susan smiled slightly, "Yes, it's my brother, dear brother."
Sang Jiuchi: "According to genetics, which is what you call blood, intelligence is inherited. Your intelligence is similar to your brother's."
Susan's laughter stopped abruptly.
In the next second, a person and a ghost were sitting side by side opposite Sang Jiuchi.
The postures of the two are surprisingly consistent, with their legs close together, their bodies tense, and their eyes fixed on their toes.
Suddenly, the whole world was quiet.Sang Jiuchi was very relieved that Susan's noisy voice was gone.
The carriage traveled for about an hour and finally arrived at the destination.
However, when they were about to enter the slum area, they were stopped by someone.
The one who stopped them was none other than the guards in charge of patrolling the area.The faces of these guards were not very good, their eyelids were drooping downwards, the underside of their eyes was black and blue, and they were lifeless.
Seeing this, Hull put on a muffler, got out of the car and negotiated, "Why don't you let us in?"
The guards supported their crumbling bodies, "I can't go any further. A disease broke out in the slum. The officer asked us to seal off this area and prohibit people from entering or leaving."
The guards knew Hull, but now Hull was wearing the most common gray sacrificial robe of the Holy See, with a thick veil covering his face.They didn't associate the tall man in front of him with the royal knight beside Prince Ino at all, they just thought he was a missionary of the Holy See.
The guard clenched his fists and coughed, "The higher-ups have already let go. At present, the medical troops of the empire are all used for front-line support, and there is no extra medical power to help these inferior people. They can no longer go out to infect others. Let them stay inside." Fend on your own. Are you people from the temple? If you want to preach elsewhere, the situation here is already very serious. Even the God of Light can’t do anything about it, so don’t lose your life in vain.”
Sang Jiuchi got out of the car masked and looked at the guard, "You are sick too."
Seeing Sang Jiuchi's red-clothed archbishop's attire, the guards were stunned. They didn't expect to see the red-clothed archbishop here.
Sang Jiuchi's mouth and nose were covered by a red muffler, and he was wearing a thick hood, leaving only his eyebrows and eyes.
Seeing the other party's overly oriental facial features, the guards immediately guessed the other party's identity - Archbishop Sang Jiuchi in red.
Even if you haven't seen them before, the three cardinals are very recognizable.Sang Jiuchi is an oriental face, Justin is old and very tall and burly, and Maria is a woman.
The guard nodded, but then shook his head again, "I'm fine, I'll go back after my shift and ask the military doctor to prescribe me medicine."
Hull frowned, "Where are those people inside? There is no doctor? If the doctor doesn't go in, they can't get out. How can they treat the disease?"
The guard looked at Hull with a pair of dead eyes, "I know they are pitiful, but this is an order from above, and there is nothing we can do."
Sang Jiuchi: "Not only them, you also need to be quarantined. This is not an ordinary fever, this is a plague, and you have been infected by the plague. Who is your direct supervisor? Go to him immediately and ask him to return the virus immediately. All available doctors were called in, fighting for every opportunity to save lives."
Several guards were startled when they heard the word "plague", but soon gave a wry smile, "We can't make the decision, to tell you the truth. As early as two days ago, our chief packed up his things and brought a large army When we went to the front line, we left a few of us and a military doctor here. We couldn't find the officer at all, so how could we report?"
Hull frowned and looked at Sang Jiuchi: "Otherwise, I will write a letter to Prince Ino and ask him to send someone to support him."
The guards looked at each other with subtle expressions, "It is Prince Ino who told us to go and take everyone away for support. He knows that there is a widespread cold here, and it is his idea to isolate people."
Guard, "I heard Prince Ino speak that day. He said that it is not a pity for these people to die. There is no need to occupy medical resources and let them fend for themselves."
The guards laughed at themselves, "Although we are guards, we are not much nobler than the people in the slums. He left a few of us because he treated us as outcasts."
Hull was at a loss for words for a moment: "...".
These three princes have never been overly kind people, the eldest prince is bloodthirsty, and the second prince is cruel.In his cognition, only the third prince Ino still has humanity and knows how to care about the suffering of the people.
When he happened to be walking on the street, he saw Prince Ino helping an elderly woman, and he also saw him sending money out to help the poor.He doesn't even care about the ranks, and he is willing to make his love affair with his sister who is a commoner come to the public.
These are all things he witnessed with his own eyes.
In the end, he was willing to be loyal to Prince Eno, not because Susan kept saying good things about Eno, let alone because he was Susan's lover, but because he saw the responsibility of a monarch and the empire from Eno's actions. s future.
It's hard to imagine that this order was actually given by Prince Ino.
Hull was a little surprised, he looked at the soldier with sharp eagle eyes, "Are you sure it's Prince Ino?"
"I'm about to die," the soldier smiled wryly. "There's no need to lie to you, Your Excellency, the Archbishop in Red. The king has given up on us, but you came from afar. Are you here to save us?"
In fact, he was infected three days ago, and several other soldiers besides himself also showed more or less cold symptoms, and even the only military doctor who stayed behind started coughing today.
He is a sick person, and only he can truly feel the torment of illness.In just three days, he seemed to have lost a layer of skin.Before Sang Jiuchi came today, there was a faint omen of death in their hearts.
That's why when I heard Sang Jiuchi say that they were going to die today, he didn't show much surprise on his face.
Plague, a plague broke out here.
And they are at the center of the plague, and even infected with the plague.
No matter how calm his expression was, including the soldier in the worst condition, his heart was filled with great shock and horror.
When Prince Ino asked the officers to leave, did he know that what happened here was a plague?
If they don't know, they never treat the ghetto people as human beings.If they know that they still let the raging here, the situation will be even worse.
When Prince Yinuo and other dignitaries quietly left here, only Sang Jiuchi went against the wind and came to this place.
The soldiers were suddenly relieved that when everyone was most desperate, there were still some people who did not give up on them.
Sang Jiuchi was silent for a few seconds. He had already walked in front of the soldier and said in a low voice, "Stretch out your hand."
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand obediently.
Putting the index finger and middle finger together on the soldier's wrist, Sang Jiuchi took his pulse and then said, "Stick out your tongue."
The soldier didn't hesitate this time, he immediately stuck out his tongue obediently.
The tongue coating is already a thick layer of white, and the base of the tongue has also become purple.
Sang Jiuchi looked away from the soldier's bloodshot eyes again, and finally said, "You can no longer guard here, and you also need to rest. Can you let me in? I want to go in and have a look."
The soldiers looked at each other and finally seemed to have made up their minds.The leading soldier in the worst condition nodded, "Come in, but we can't rest. Someone needs to hold hands here."
Sang Jiuchi waved to the believers who had all got off the car, and all of his believers were wearing face scarves.Those holding Ai Ye in their hands were holding Ai Ye, and those holding face towels were full, obviously coming prepared.
"It doesn't matter, you go to rest, my priests will be here to guard. I brought a simple potion, you go back to your place to boil the medicine and drink it, and rest for a day. Also, let the rest of you The medic came to see me."
Sang Jiuchi's voice was not loud, but very gentle.
But everyone listened to it, but it had full weight.The soldiers looked at Sang Jiuchi, then at the believers holding a bunch of things in their hands, and finally compromised, "Okay, then I will trouble Your Excellency the Archbishop in Red."
After receiving the medicine, they didn't hesitate any longer and walked towards the camp not far from the slum.
When Sang Jiuchi appeared in the slums, most people were already waiting for death in despair. Under the mournful eyes of everyone, Sang Jiuchi slowly appeared in front of everyone like a ray of light piercing the darkness.
At that moment, all the pious believers in the slum knelt down on the ground.
Just two days ago, soldiers suddenly blocked the entrance to the slums and locked them inside.
Sang Jiuchi looked around in the crowd, and in the normal world of others, he saw countless death in Sang Jiuchi's eyes.
This disease has appeared silently for too long, and if it drags on for another week, the virus will split wildly and spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.
"Dear believers, I am Archbishop Sang Jiuchi in red. Just last night, I heard your cries for help."
"That's why I came here today." The people who were a little flustered by Sang Jiuchi's arrival relaxed in unison.
They boldly raised their heads and looked at the red-veiled archbishop in front of them, with a desire to survive in their eyes.
Someone bravely shouted: "Your Excellency, please save my mother! She has been coughing for five days, and she is getting weaker every day, and now she is lying on the bed dying."
As one person yelled, more and more people began to plead and tell about the torture they and their families had suffered.
The air that was calm because of awe just now became agitated in an instant, but they finally retained their last bit of awe, and instead of rushing to Sang Jiuchi, they just stretched out their arms to ask for help.
Often the patients themselves are the ones who can feel their illness the most directly. There are so many people around them who are sick, and deep down in their hearts, they have long been aware of their tragic fate.
Now that Sang Jiuchi suddenly appeared, everyone seemed to see the only life-saving straw, and they all pinned all their hopes on Sang Jiuchi.
The madness and pleading in people's eyes became more and more intense, and Hull subconsciously stood in front of Sang Jiuchi.
In the next second, he was gently pushed away by Sang Jiuchi.
Sang Jiuchi took a step forward, put his index finger in the air over his mouth and made a silent movement, "Quiet."
Just two simple words, everyone immediately stopped as if they had been pressed the pause button.
"I can't guarantee that everyone can be saved, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to save everyone here, provided that you cooperate with my treatment." Sang Jiuchi took Ai Ye from a priest, "I would now like to say the following."
"We're wearing enough face coverings, from now on everyone, and I'm talking about everyone, whether you're sick or healthy, put a face covering on."
"The water you drink must be completely boiled. No one is allowed to approach the river in the slums. There are rotting corpses in there. Your disease is transmitted from there."
"You don't have to worry about draft water. I have brought enough money to buy clean drinking water for you. But just buying water is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. I will try my best to find a suitable source of clean water for you."
"The Ai Ye I brought to you, don't feel sorry for the resources, as long as the Ai Ye is still there, let it keep burning."
"I brought some medicine today, and you all have to drink it after we finish cooking. From tomorrow, I will prescribe the medicine to the case, and the other thing is to keep the ventilation. Patients staying at home should not close the doors and windows all day, at least three times a day. Hours of ventilation time. In addition, I brought you a disinfectant, but this disinfectant is not for drinking, it is sprayed on the ground to kill diseases.”
"The smell of the disinfectant is a bit unpleasant, please be patient."
Sang Jiuchi finished the notes one by one, and then paused for two seconds, "Is there anyone here who is similar to the leader and patriarch?"
Among the crowd, a muscular middle-aged man stood up. The middle-aged man was very burly, but there was a black death in his eyes, "It's me."
"What's your name?" Sang Jiuchi asked.
Middle-aged man: "My name is Tolman, Your Excellency the Bishop."
Sang Jiuchi: "I will try my best to lead you to overcome the disease, but after all, I have limited personnel here, and I still need your help in many cases. I need you to organize personnel and supervise whether everyone is carrying out according to my requirements. Especially the river The source of water must not be approached again."
"Finally, I would like to say one more thing. From now on, everyone can get treatment, so please leave the priority of treatment to the seriously ill, the elderly and children. No noise and crowding are allowed. You are also required to maintain law and order. Done, Tolman, can you do it?"
Tolman's eyes were already red, and he nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will definitely follow your request."
Just now, he could only helplessly watch the people around him fall ill one by one.
Sang Jiuchi looked down at the people kneeling on the ground, everyone's cloudy eyes had slowly begun to recover.
He pondered for a moment, and finally said: "As long as we work together, we will surely overcome the disease. I have not given up on you, so don't give up on yourselves. This is a tough battle, and I believe the winner must belong to us."
In the crowd, the sound of sobbing suddenly broke out.
In endless despair, they finally waited for the hope of life.People hugged each other uncontrollably and cried, and finally got a little respite from the endless oppression of death.
Hull looked at these people who had regained their confidence, and felt countless emotions in his heart. His eye sockets were also a little red in places where people couldn't see, but he quickly took a deep breath and suppressed it.
Sang Jiuchi didn't say any more nonsense, and the next step was intensive treatment work.
The mugwort leaves were lit everywhere, and the slightly astringent scent immediately filled the area.
In the distance, the priests had already lit a bonfire, set up a pot and began to boil medicine.After a while, the bitter taste has spread.
Just smelling it, it feels particularly bitter.
Tolman is also worthy of being the patriarch here. He quickly gathered a group of strong young people. They arranged the patients in the order of serious illness, old people, children, women and strong men according to what Sang Jiuchi said just now. .
Sang Jiuchi was not idle either. Immediately after he finished speaking, he began to see patients.
Hull silently followed Sang Jiuchi in the posture of a guardian, while protecting Sang Jiuchi, while secretly observing Sang Jiuchi's every move.
Dirty quarters, smelly rooms, patients covered in vomit.
Sang Jiuchi didn't even frown, his eyes were extremely firm, without any disgust.
In his eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, only souls and lives waiting to be rescued.
The houses in the slums are all close to each other. Sang Jiuchi has not stopped seeing a doctor since the beginning. In the hot weather, a dense layer of sweat has begun to ooze from his forehead.
Seeing this, Hull pulled out a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and asked, "Do you want to take a break and drink some water?"
Sang Jiuchi had just watched an old man who was bedridden with a serious illness. He took a breath and shook his head, "I'll talk about it later. I want to collect all the symptoms of this disease first."
As he said that, he took a step and continued to walk towards the next patient's residence.
Hull watched from behind, and the young man in front of him looked more and more slender in the large red robe.
But now, he uses this slender body to prop up the sky in this dead zone.
On the way, Hull looked around.There were smiles on the faces of the people who were still lifeless just now.They haven't taken the life-saving medicine yet, but they have rekindled their hope of survival under the encouragement of Sang Jiuchi just now.
Disease is the most tormenting, especially at the end of the disease, it is not the disease itself that often kills people's lives, but the endless fear brought by the disease.
For the same disease, once people lose the will to survive, it is difficult to save this life.
Sang Jiuchi's last words, "I haven't given up on you, and you can't give up on yourself" still linger in Hull's mind.
It's just this sentence that binds himself to this group of patients.
He made the deepest commitment to his patients.
For the first time, Hull felt that his previous impression of Sang Jiuchi was a bit off.
He once thought that Sang Jiuchi was just a magic stick, using beautiful language to deceive the simple people.But now, he felt extremely powerful power from these words.
On the other hand, Prince Ino, whom he is loyal to, knew what happened here early on, not only did he not come to rescue him, but he gave up here instead.
Is the Prince Ino I saw with my eyes the real Prince Ino?
Or is it just the appearance that Prince Ino played for him?
Hull was lost in thought.
Sang Jiuchi worked for several hours. It was not until sunset that Sang Jiuchi collected enough samples to finish today's work.
Beside him and Hull, there was already a man wearing a white robe and a face scarf.
This man was the military doctor just now, and the soldiers had already taken the medicine and fell asleep.Because the military doctor has a certain medical foundation, the initial prevention is still in place, and the symptoms have just started to appear.
The potion prepared by the priests has been distributed to all the people and asked them to drink it.And beside the cauldron where the potion was boiling, another pot had already been set up.
The mellow meaty aroma emanates from the inside, arousing everyone's taste buds.
At this moment, Hull admired Sang Jiuchi's foresight very much.
If Sang Jiuchi hadn't asked Tolman to maintain order at the beginning, the looting incident might have occurred at this moment.
But now, under the supervision of Tolman and a group of young and middle-aged people, the boiled meat is distributed in an orderly manner.First came the seriously ill patients, then the elderly, children and women, and finally these young adults.
These meats were purchased with the money brought by Sang Jiuchi. Hull knew that the patient needed energy to be strong enough to resist the attack of the disease.
Sometimes the effect of food is more effective than medicine.
The tense expressions on everyone's faces had already relaxed. Some of them wolfed down the hard-won broth, while others slowly savored the taste of the meat.
After the tense emotions passed, people relaxed, and some people had not even returned home, and had fallen asleep sitting on the ground leaning against each other.
The place is still shrouded in deadly disease, but the atmosphere of fear and despair has quietly faded away.
