I have a city that never sleeps

The five rode their horses all the way to Huaining County.

After a night of driving, they finally arrived at their destination at dawn.

Because they didn't sleep all night, coupled with the jolting of the horse, several people were a little mentally tired.

Those who know martial arts are better, but those who are not very good at martial arts, such as Ji Tong, really can't bear it. In addition, he has just recovered from his frailty, and his eyes have a faint blue-black color. He fell headfirst to the ground.

When he saw the gate of Huaining County, Ji Tong was so moved that he almost burst into tears. Fortunately, after so much torture, he finally reached his destination!

He couldn't help but look at the others from the side. Yu Wenshan didn't look strange at all. It's fine as long as Jiyue Qingfeng is still there. Even Yi Jia, who looks delicate and delicate, has translucent skin, clear eyes, and looks white in the sun. Like the reflection of light, it makes people feel a little bit of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Hey...how can there be such a big gap between people!

"Huining County is in front of you." Yu Wenshan looked at the tightly closed city gate, and said in a deep voice, "They are probably taking compulsory measures, so the city gate is not open. I will communicate with them now."

"Wait." Just as he was about to drive the horse, Yi Jia stopped him suddenly, and suddenly took out a few sealed white cloths from the package in his arms, and handed each of them a piece.

Yu Wenshan finally took a closer look, and found that the white cloth exuded a faint fragrance, which could actually refresh his mind and wake up his chaotic thinking instantly.

The white cloth itself is pure white and flawless, but there are a few ropes tied on both sides. Yijia personally demonstrated how to use this thing.

"Tie the ropes on both sides behind the ears, and fix the white cloth on the nose and mouth." Yijia explained while doing a teacher's job, "This thing can resist the intrusion of toxins, and you must remember to cover the nose and mouth well. Ningnei can't take it off at any time, it will be much safer with it."

Everyone imitated his appearance and put it on curiously. They thought that this kind of fabric would hinder breathing, but unexpectedly found that the air permeability is so good that it doesn't even hinder speech.

"Since it can prevent toxins from entering the nose and mouth, as long as we promote it a little and let everyone in Huaining wear it, it can prevent infection!" Yu Wenshan even thought of many thoughts that Yijia hadn't said yet.

"It's not wrong, but I can't produce so much for the time being, and I need to use Huaining's power to make it on the spot." Yijia explained a little, "I call this object a mask, and the specific production method will be mentioned later. Let's see what's going on inside Huaining, if they're already infected, the mask won't be of much use."

Hearing this, Yu Wenshan's heart sank. At this moment, it has been three full days since the people in Huaining were infected on a large scale, and he doesn't know the specific situation.

After confirming that his mouth and nose were covered, Yu Wenshan came to the city gate again and shouted loudly: "I am Yu Wenshan, Prime Minister of Anqing County. Is there someone guarding the city? Please open the city gate!"

His voice was easily transmitted to the city through the diffusion of internal force, and after a while, a head popped out of the city wall.

It was a soldier in armor, but his complexion was a bit dark. After observing here for a long time, he held back his low cough and responded: "Huining is now facing a life-and-death crisis. The county magistrate has decided to close the door and close the city for governance. , you guys go back... coming here is just courting death."

Even though he tried to raise the volume, he still sounded very weak, which surprised Yu Wenshan. Could it be that the situation is so serious that even the people stationed at the city gate are about to die?

He anxiously explained: "I didn't come here to die in vain. I have invited the best doctor in the world here. Don't worry, he will definitely solve the current crisis in Huaining! Please open the city gate, we will go to the county magistrate Speak for yourself."

"..." When the city gate general heard about the doctor, his eyes lit up and he tried to look down the city gate, but because everyone was wearing face scarves, he really couldn't tell which one was the doctor.

No one was found, his face showed a look of disappointment, he wanted to quickly open the city gate, but added hesitantly, "It is said that this is a very serious disease, even the best doctors in Huaining can't cure it, I can Let you in, but let me tell you in advance that you may also be in danger, so think twice."

"It's nothing." Yu Wenshan said calmly, "We have already prepared ourselves to put life and death aside, please open the city gate!"

The third request to open the city gate finally got the city gate opened.

Looking at the deserted and drowsy street, it seemed as if he was going to swallow people whole. No matter how brave and fearless he was, Yu Wenshan couldn't help being a little scared at this moment.

But he looked at Yijia, who was still young, and saw that Yijia was not afraid, and even rode in the front as always, with a bright light in his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt at ease. What is he afraid of? !

Unknowingly, his chest was turbulent, and it seemed that there was surging courage. He looked forward with burning eyes, and stretched the rein in his hand: "Follow young master, let's go!"

The crowd rode their horses again and rushed towards the county government along the street.

They took this opportunity to observe the street, and saw that there were surprisingly few people on the street, and most of them had gray faces, dull eyes, and slow movements, as if they had been trapped in a slight poison.

Even some newborn babies were breathing weakly, and the mother walked with difficulty holding him, and several times she couldn't keep it and almost threw him out, but he didn't respond at all, obviously the situation was very bad.

This is still a person who can move, how many people are infected by the toxin and cannot move in places where they cannot see!

What impressed me the most was Ji Tong, who had just been here two days ago, which was completely different from the bustling scene before.

He is still confused in his heart now, why did Huai Ning become like this in a blink of an eye!

This scene made everyone feel sad and couldn't bear to watch any more, so they could only grit their teeth and run to the yamen.

Tell the yamen guards about your origins, and finally a military officer with a big arm and a round waist came to greet them.

Compared to the others, this military officer is physically strong and moving normally, and he doesn't seem to be infected with toxins.

After hearing Yu Wenshan's introduction, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. County Prime Minister, for coming to save me Huaining. I am the history of Huaining County, named Pan Hong. I have not been grateful for the prescriptions you have sent over a few days ago. This kindness..."

"There's no need to be polite." At this time when every second is counting against time, Yu Wenshan is not interested in reminiscing about the past. He looks around the yamen and interrupts him, "Where is the county magistrate? I have something important to talk to him about." discuss!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Pan Hong sighed heavily with a bitter face: "To be honest, the county magistrate, he, he has already run away..."

"...What?" Yu Wenshan was stunned, the county magistrate actually left Huaining County, who was so big, and ran away?He is the county magistrate!

"I heard that all the doctors couldn't cure this disease, and my lord's complexion was already bad. He also heard that this might be a legendary epidemic, and the infection speed was extremely fast, so he immediately packed his luggage..." Pan Hong failed. Going on, "It is said that the capital is in chaos now, and the party members are fighting fiercely. There is no time to manage us. The adults said that they would rather escape and survive than die of inexplicable illness here."

Yu Wenshan's brows were furrowed tightly. It's normal to be afraid in the face of a serious illness, but the county magistrate is the people's bread and butter. When the people are in dire straits, if the county magistrate doesn't come forward to rescue them, who can they trust!What a vain official!

"What about the others? They all ran away too?"

Pan Hongdao: "That's not the case. After the county magistrate left, I asked to seal the city gate immediately, so the others were either sick or lost hope and left the yamen. Now the only ones left are our brothers and sisters." gone."

There are about six guards on the left and right. This number is pitifully small, but compared to the empty yamen, it is much better. Yu Wenshan couldn't help but praise: "You are doing very well, thanks to you Hold on, don't worry, I brought the best genius doctor in the world to treat you, and you will be fine."

Hearing this, Pan Hong's face suddenly showed joy.

To be honest, even they were almost desperate and gave up on themselves, but Yu Wenshan's appearance brought them new hope. After all, they tried the prescription that was sent, and it really saved the person with a mild illness.

As long as the genius doctor who wrote this prescription exists, they still have a glimmer of hope.

Listening to him talking about the prescription, Yu Wenshan asked again: "Since we have the prescription, even if we take it, the disease won't spread to such a serious level. What's going on?"

Pan Hong suddenly showed a shameful expression: "Because... the famous doctors in the county said they didn't agree with the effect of this prescription, and advised us not to use it recklessly, but to let the doctors treat it first, but in the end even the doctors couldn't help it. I contracted the symptoms. I had no choice but to try the prescription, and I didn’t expect to save a person!”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help getting excited again. Even the best doctor in their county couldn't cure the disease. This person wrote the prescription without thinking. What kind of genius doctor can do it!They will surely be saved!

He subconsciously set his gaze on Ji Tong, selectively ignoring the youngest-looking Yijia, and couldn't help but grabbed Ji Tong's hands, with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for the miracle doctor! The presence of the miracle doctor is our Huaining's. It's an honor!"

"...Uh..." Ji Tong suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

In particular, Yi Jia's gaze on his side made him hurt, and he couldn't help but flinch and laugh; "Don't worry, I'm not a miracle doctor, I'm just a passerby, this is the miracle doctor."

He respectfully walked behind Yijia and personally introduced Yijia to Pan Hong. Only then did Yijia feel satisfied, and straightened her back with a light cough: "Don't be afraid, with this genius doctor here, you will all be saved."

"..." Pan Hong's mouth grew slowly, and he looked at the boy with still childish features in shock and disbelief, "This, this is the genius doctor??"

At this age, could it be that Mr. Yu is entertaining him? ?

Judging by his expression, he could tell that he didn't believe in Yi Jia's ability, and Yu Wenshan felt emotional in his heart, that's the way people who don't know each other when they meet for the first time always react like this.

"That's right, Mr. Ji Tong standing next to him is the unlucky person who passed by Huaining two days ago and accidentally contracted the toxin, and I saw with my own eyes that the young master cured him completely with a soup." Yu Yu Wenshan Yizheng added, "So the young master is indeed a unparalleled genius doctor in the world, I can pat my chest to assure you!"

Yijia was flattered by the successive compliments, and kept nodding her head with restraint, and said modestly: "Hey, it's not worth mentioning, don't talk about it everywhere."

If one ignores his grin that is about to reach the ears, his words may be more credible.

As the only genius doctor present, the rest of the people will naturally follow his arrangements. Yijia coughed lightly again, took the initiative to take over the situation and said, "Since the county magistrate is not here, just follow my orders. A detailed map, and show me the area where the epidemic is most severe!"

The Huaining Yamen without a county magistrate is a mess, and everyone doesn't know what to do, but now someone can finally order them without Pan Hong's words. Immediately, a guard took the initiative to lead them to the living room, "Yes, please follow I come."

Yi Jia and the others walked in first, but Yu Wenshan deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Pan Hong.

Pan Hong seemed to be full of doubts and wanted to tell him, but Yu Wenshan interrupted him as soon as he uttered a word: "Hey, listen to me first, the young master's name is Yijia, he is 16 years old this year, and he is the owner of Jiang City, the city that never sleeps." My fifth disciple, who has studied medicine since he was a child, is very powerful, well, do you have anything else to ask?"

"..." Pan Hong tried his best to suppress the doubts that came out of his mouth, but his eyes almost popped out, "Wait, city that never sleeps???"

"The city that never sleeps is, the city that never sleeps that I thought of??? The city that never sleeps that everyone wants to go to, but it's hard to get the entry order??"

Yu Wenshan smiled and said, "Sword God, Hero Chu, Miss Xin'er, and Mr. Su are all brothers of the young master. Do you have any questions?"

Pan Hong was speechless, silent for a while, and slapped his hands suddenly: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier! Did my attitude towards the young master just now be too bad? What should I do? Do I still have a chance to redeem it? Like How can I question such a fairy as the little son, I regret it!"

"It's okay, young master is easy to talk to." Yu Wenshan couldn't help laughing, "Are you at ease now?"

"Isn't that right!" Pan Hong relaxed, in sharp contrast to the bitter look on his face just now, "If we were from the city that never sleeps, then we Huaining will definitely be saved. Anyone in the world There is no city that never sleeps alone that can make me feel at ease, we promise to cooperate with the young master in all actions, don't worry!"

"That's good." Yu Wenshan suddenly said in a low voice, "But the young master doesn't like to show off. Don't go around saying that he is from the city that never sleeps. Even if you say it, you have to hide it. Don't let the young master find out, do you understand?"

"Understood." Pan Hong suddenly realized, and blinked mysteriously, "I understand, just wait and see."

After finishing speaking, he quickly squeezed away the guards in front, walked up to Yijia, and flattered him with a smile: "Here is the map, please feel free to ask me if you know anything, young master, I will know everything, of course, If there is an order, I, Pan Hong, will be the first to rush up, even if it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​flames!"

"Uh...thank you." Looking at his passionate appearance, Yi Jia nodded a little strangely, and subconsciously moved away quietly.

He spread the map on the table, and while listening to Pan Hong's explanation, he quickly searched for an open space, and then drew a circle with his hand:

"Just here, first make a few simple tents here, keep the ventilation and don't get caught in the rain, then take more wooden boards to make beds, or lay them on the ground, and divide the patients into mild, moderate, and severe cases. In the three tents, make sure that all infected people are quarantined and cannot come into contact with normal people."

He looked into Pan Hong's eyes and talked about it. When he said these arrangements, his aura was tougher, calmer and more reliable than ever, and he was no longer that arrogant young master.

"Severe disease refers to the type with poor breathing and weak breathing. Mild disease refers to the type with no obvious symptoms but weakness, sweating and fatigue. The rest are classified as moderate. In addition, all normal people need to wear white cloth like our face to be able to To contact patients, first find a white cloth that is sufficiently breathable, and then I will teach you how to kill the virus and wear it... But these are all things after making the tent, first do what can be done, and let's do it."

The division of labor is simple and clear, but it will take a while to complete the construction. The guards of the county government and others immediately got up and went to find a few young and strong men to work. If you use too much force, the probability of being infected will be much lower.

Fearing that they would not have enough manpower, Yu Wenshan also sent two of his guards to help. At this time, only Yi Jia, Yu Wenshan, Ji Tong, and Pan Hong were left in the entire yamen.

"During the preparation period, let's go and see where the source of the poisoning is." Yi Jia stood up first and looked at Ji Tong, "Where is the restaurant you went to last time?"

This is also the reason why he decided to bring Ji Tong with him. Ji Tong was poisoned after only eating in that restaurant. It is very likely that there is something wrong with the food.

Pan Hong's eyes lit up: "Could it be possible to find the source of the infection by going to a restaurant?"

"Not necessarily." Yijia couldn't guarantee it, "I can only say that it is possible."

Even if there is only a possibility, this clue cannot be easily let go. Ji Tong will tell the name of the restaurant, and Pan Hong will personally lead the way to guide them there.

Of course, in order to prevent him from being infected by the toxin, Yi Jia also gave him a mask, and the few people came to the restaurant carefully. At this time, the restaurant was empty and dilapidated. With a light push, you can break in without authorization.

Yu Wenshan asked Pan Hong silently, and Pan Hong sighed, "The boss, his wife, the cook, and others were the first to catch the disease. Everyone thought it was just common typhoid fever. Unexpectedly...so the restaurant is already in a state of desertion. Just do your research."

Such testimony made the restaurant even more suspicious. Everyone became vigilant, touched the face towels on their faces, and finally gritted their teeth and followed Yi Jia into the back kitchen.

As soon as he entered the back kitchen, Yijia could smell the faint toxins in the kitchen, but just because the whole room was filled with toxins and there was no particularly serious place, it seemed that this place was not the source.

Yijia took out the special rubber gloves from the backpack, and after putting them on, he touched all the ingredients and took a closer look, and there really was nothing special about them.

But immediately, a large vat came into his eyes, several possibilities flashed through his mind, and he finally opened the vat.

At this moment, the strong toxin almost gushed towards him, making him take two steps back subconsciously, and told everyone to stay away: "Don't come near here! I found it, it seems that this is the main reason for the poisoning."

Everyone looked down in doubt, and what they saw was a tank of clear well water, and they looked at each other in amazement.

"Did the poison come from the water? Someone poisoned the well?"

"It doesn't have to be poisoning." Yi Jia calmly analyzed, "If it's just poisoning in a restaurant, it's impossible for the infection to spread so quickly, unless..."

He pondered for a while, and Yu Wenshan immediately realized what he said, and reminded loudly: "There is a well in the yard, let's go and have a look!"

Everyone went to the yard and carefully picked up a bucket of well water. Yi Jia sniffed it, and immediately retreated disgustedly, covering his face towel: "It seems that there is a problem with this water. Where is the water connection here?"

Pan Hong was in a daze at this moment, when he heard Yi Jia's question, he was shocked, and stammered: "There is a river outside the county seat, and all the water for eating and drinking comes from that river...Is it possible?!"

His body trembled violently, he thought of a possibility that made him tremble with fear, and suddenly ran outside desperately.

Yijia and the others looked at each other, followed him and ran out, until they ran out of the city and saw the Yangtze River. Yijia squatted down and soaked the silver needle in the river water.

This river is too wide, even if there is toxin, it is very, very thin, and it is not easy to detect it with silver needles, but before there is no other way, Yijia plans to try it first.

Fortunately, before soaking for a long time, the shiny silver needle tip gradually turned black. When Yijia took out the silver needle, it could no longer see its original appearance, and the whole body was exuding ooze. The blackness of people.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." Yijia made a final decision.

These words were like the last straw that crushed the camel's back, making Pan Hong look pale and unconsciously fell to the ground.

He thought about many reasons, including natural disasters and revenge against someone, but he never expected that the river they depended on for survival would be poisoned!

What kind of person is so conscienceless that he wants to poison the river!

Isn't this to let the common people in their whole city die!

"Hateful!" Even Yu Wenshan and the others couldn't bear it any longer, and all of them showed sinister eyes, "He poisoned the river, does he want to kill the people in the whole city, no... it may be near this place All the county towns along the river will suffer, no, we have to send people to inform all the county towns immediately, don’t get close to the river here!”

"That's right, the people of a city have already suffered, what if the murderer poisons the other rivers!" Ji Tong was also shocked, "We must catch the murderer quickly, and we can't let him kill the people! "

Everyone was in panic, imagining the worst scenario, feeling a terrifying coldness for no reason.

But Yijia comforted them at this time: "It's okay, although I don't know what the purpose of poisoning is, but there is a high probability that he will not do it again. First of all, this kind of toxin is very fierce, it is rare in the world, and it can be developed There are not many people there, and it is easy to be targeted by others. If he wants to show his strength, then he will definitely not poison again. Secondly, if he accidentally poisons but something goes wrong, he will only hide himself now. And if he wants to harm the people in the city...to be honest, the possibility is very unlikely."

"Why?" Everyone looked at him in puzzlement.

"It's very simple, because the toxins in this river are actually very little." Yijia said slowly, "It is reasonable to guess that the poison he put in is relatively small, but it still polluted the river and diffused weakly in every drop of water. Unfortunately, It was the people who fetched water and drank the toxins gradually accumulated over time, and finally broke out. And the toxins are highly contagious, so the speed of transmission is still very fast, which makes it seem like they were poisoned only two days ago."

Yu Wenshan was startled: "It means that the murderer has been poisoning for quite a long time... If it is not too scheming, it really doesn't look like killing the people."

"So I tend to think that he did it unconsciously, and he may think that putting Jiangui in it is nothing. If it is the other two things, he can throw more poison." Yijia nodded, "However, it is still wrong for him to do this. Shame, we must arrest this person!"

Everyone agreed: "Yes! We must find him."

"In short, I will quickly research the medicine for purifying toxins, so don't worry too much." Yi Jia finally concluded.

Hearing his confident words, everyone's heavy heart began to ease. As long as there is Yijia, a genius doctor, they will be able to control the spread of the epidemic and restore the health of the people.

And what they have to do is to help Yijia make a good start and do what they can!

Everyone was about to leave to start the rescue plan, but Yi Jia suddenly stopped, as if he just remembered, and said indifferently: "Oh, by the way, there should be poisonous sacs in the river, let's send someone to salvage them with a boat , if the source of pollution can be removed, the situation will be much better.”

Pan Hong was stunned for a moment. After checking again and again, he realized how shocking the news was hidden in this understatement. He immediately exclaimed: "What? The source of pollution? Is it still in the river now??"

Yijia looked at him with a mentally retarded look: "Of course, water has the function of self-purification, as long as the time is long enough, all toxins can be removed, but there are still toxins in the river after such a long time, it must be the poisonous one thrown by the murderer." The thing has not disappeared, and it is difficult to purify! There is a high probability that the thing is quite big, and you can find it if you fish it!"

"!!!" This is simply the most important step in resolving the crisis. For the first time, Pan Hong's face showed excitement and excitement, and he immediately assured Yijia, "I will salvage it myself now! You report!"

Pan Hong is a famous general, and he can't do tedious and complicated jobs, so this job just suits him.

Yijia told him not to fall into the river, and brought him back to the Yamen again.

But this time, he was going to start the preparations by himself.

Ji Tong, who doesn't have to be afraid of toxins, was transferred by him to take care of the production in the tent, and Yu Wenshan was in charge of helping him.

"Bring over all the wine from the restaurant, the higher the purity, the better." Yi Jia directly chose an empty yard in the yamen, cleared the debris, and said to Yu Wenshan, "Then find the white cloth I mentioned, and call it All the women and children who are not infected come here to help, they need a place free from toxins, and this is the best choice."

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Yu Wenshan restrained himself from wasting time and took action first.

When he was going out, Yijia himself also walked towards the nearby medical clinic. There were also pitifully few people in the medical clinic, and only one person who looked like a scholar was in charge.

He was slightly startled when he saw the kerchief covering Yijia's face, but he was relieved when he met those bright eyes: "Do you want to grab the medicine?"

I thought that the young man would come to get the legendary medicine that can cure diseases like everyone else, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "This medical center has been contracted by me from now on. If you have any questions, you can go to the county government in person, and now pack up a few copies of all the medicinal materials and follow me!"

Scholar: "...?"

As if stunned by his words, the scholar didn't slow down for a long time, and Yi Jia almost got impatient, only to get an inexplicable white eye from the other party: "Go, go, don't mess around in the medical hall, you If you know who opened this clinic, you dare to make such a mistake."

"Who opened the clinic?" Yijia really didn't know, but he seemed to have heard a doctor with a strong voice but weak strength, "Could it be that he thought he could cure the disease, but he was infected first?" A doctor?"

"You?!" Facing his simple doubts, the scholar opposite blushed for some reason, and said sternly, "Master is just too hardworking and old so he accidentally contracted the disease. Soon he will recover and heal the people, just wait and see."

"I don't have time to wait for a bad old man right now." Yijia said angrily, "If you delay for a while, the people who can be saved will not be saved, hurry up, this is an order from the government, take the medicinal materials and follow me Cure!"

"No." The scholar sneered, "Let's not say who you are, even if you are really related to the government, I will not go!"

"I want to personally protect my teacher's hard work. This medical center does not allow anyone to be contaminated. You hurry up. No matter what you say, I will not go with you. Give up!"

Yijia narrowed her eyes slightly, "Really not leaving?"

The scholar was very stubborn: "Don't go."

Yijia stretched her hands to her waist: "Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Scholar: "Don't go."

In the next moment, a long golden whip suddenly passed across his cheek, and the sound of piercing through the air rang in his ears sharply.

He raised his head in astonishment, only to see that young gentleman was flicking his whip again and again, looking at his body dangerously:

"Okay, I've already said that I don't have time to hang out with you, and you still force me."

"Now you only have two choices, one is to be beaten to death by me and then follow me, and the other is to follow me now, which one do you choose?"

"..."

Feeling the frightening sound of the whip hitting the floor beside his ears, the scholar swallowed his saliva, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"I, I, I, I will pack my luggage now!"
