Chapter 45: Epidemic County (3)

"Cough cough--" Shi Tou Zhang was choked by Leng Feng and coughed a few times. He frowned and covered his nose with one hand, suffused in front of him with the other, muttering: "What does this taste like? It seems to be a medicine smell, and there is something else mixed with... It's like something is moldy."

"The fresh medicine juice is mixed with some moldy medicine residue, this is the taste." Jiang Shining explained, but he did not cover his nose. After all, this taste is common to him-

There are several small stoves in the back room of Jiangjia Medical Hall, which almost boil the medicine from morning to night every day. The fresh medicine soup tastes always year round. On plum rainy days in April every year, the medicine residue is poured at the back door in the morning, and when you go to clean it at night, it will smell a little decay. Therefore, the mixture of the two is not difficult for Jiang Shining to recognize.

But how big is the Jiang Family Medical Hall? How big is Qingping County? If you want to open the city gate, you will smell this. There must be at least a dozen families nearby decocting medicine and pouring medicine residue at the same time.

So many people get sick at the same time?

Everyone suddenly had some bad premonition...

Jiang Shining's face changed, and he raised his foot and was about to go to the city. Unexpectedly, after just two steps, several soldiers guarding the city "swept" forward, and he blocked the way out with a long sword in his hand.

"The gates of the county near Japan are not allowed to pass, please go back." The guard said hard.

"I dare to ask a few officials why they don't pass?" Jiang Shining was a little anxious when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

The guard still said coldly, "No one can tell me, please come back!"

But when he said this, his eyes couldn't help but look straight at Xuan Min. Another square-faced guard next to him raised a long sword, pointed at the person Xuan Min was holding, frowned and said, "What are you doing with the dead? Looking for bad luck?"

As he said that, he reached out to push Xuan Min, hoping that they would stay away from the city gate and not get stuck here to get in the way.

"Ba"

When the square-faced guard was about to push Xuan Min, Xue Xian lifted the black cloth covering his face, clamped his wrist with his pale hands, turned his head and said quietly: "Speak well, what are you doing?"

"Haha--" The guard shrank his hands in shock and couldn't pull them back.

He probably didn't expect that a person who covered his head from his head to his ankles with black clothes was alive. He was shocked by Xue Xian without any warning, and shouted with a thick neck blushing, "Bold! What's the intention to pretend to be a ghost?"

He looked down at Xue Xian's thin white fingers, which did not look like Kong Wu's powerful appearance, so he broke free twice. Unexpectedly, the fingers seemed to be iron pliers, and there was no sign of looseness.

"Let go!" The square-faced guard stared at Xue Xian.

"Okay—" Xue Xian said lazily, "You talk about it first, why don't people come in with the city gate? Is there any room for comfort?"

This ancestor was kind enough, but when he cooperated with the strength in his hands, he looked like a threat no matter how he looked.

Seeing this, the other guards glared and took a step forward, and as they saw it, they were about to surround him. Xuan Min, who was holding Xue Xian, closed her eyes slightly, moved her lips twice, and gently stepped on the ground with her right foot.

The guards felt that the ground under their feet trembled inexplicably, and they were then bumped back to their original position in the blink of an eye.

The guards were shocked: "Earth moves?!"

It seems that the previous earth movement of Anqing Mansion left some shadows on them, so that after being flipped like this, the guards froze in place, looking at each other, and did not even dare to move for a while, as if they were holding their breath to be flicked for the second time.

"Let go!" The square-faced guard who was pinned by Xue Xian was also a little nervous. He lowered his body, twitched his wrist again, and said to Xue Xian, "It's not that we don't want to say it, you have also seen it. Qingping has been frequent earthquakes recently, and the house is unstable, and the epidemic continues. Let you go back for your sake, not harm you!"

"Anti-epidemic?" Xue Xian seized the key, "Is an epidemic in Qingping County sick?"

Seeing that the square face guard could not get rid of them for a moment, he shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the ground in the county had cracked a few holes, and some unknown black worms crawled out from the ground. Some people in the county were bitten by the black worms, and they had rashes on their bodies. They were unbearable and could not scratch them. They broke as soon as they scratched. In just two days, large areas of festering began to erode, which was described as horrible."

"Where is the doctor? Didn't you take medicine to diagnose and treat it in time?" Jiang Shining couldn't help asking.

"I didn't know so much at first. Some people couldn't bear it and went to the doctor. Some people just thought it was a minor illness and dealt with it casually. As a result, they found that this problem would be transmitted to people..." The guard said and lowered his voice, his tone was faint, and he sounded quite frightened: "It was very exciting to spread. Haven't you smell the slags in the city?"

"Okay, what's the point of talking to them?" Seeing that the ground did not tremble, the other guards straightened their bodies again and were impatiently trying to drive them away.

Xue Xianxin said: If you stop me like this, I will ignore it! I can do anything.

This ancestor has always been a little scruple in his work. Although these guards are not unreasonable, they have to find a way to enter the city. If he stops like this, he doesn't mind turning back into the dragon and flying directly over the city wall.

Just as the guards gathered and were about to be hard, a black skin standing behind suddenly screamed in surprise, pointing to the back of the square-faced neck and said, "Brother Li, you, the back of your neck!"

"What's wrong?" Fang Fang was a little uneasy when he heard his tone. He subconsciously touched the back of his neck with his empty hand. When he was dressing this morning, he felt something was wrong, and he thought it was ground by the clothes, but because time rushed to change the job, he didn't have time to do anything about exploring.

"There's a rash!" Another guard leaned closer with the light of the lantern and took a closer look, and immediately took two steps back, "Two thumbs-sized!"

Everyone was already looking at it, but when they heard this, they dissipated like a tide.

"Oh...this is what you are talking about. There is also a rash at your tiger's mouth." Xue Xian calmly pinched his wrist bone and signaled him to look at the tiger's mouth, "Here, there is also a small piece."

The square-faced guard was stunned there.

Xue Xian glanced at the rash and thoughts suddenly popped up.

The thoughts that this ancestor had always come up with were... extraordinary. He suddenly took a breath, grabbed hissing, and said to his fingers holding his square face, "It really spreads fast enough, I'm growing now."

Fang Fang was shocked when she heard this. Mu looked down blankly and saw a large red rash on Xue Xian's hands, spreading from the tip of his fingers to the back of his hand. Soon his whole hand became red and swollen, and was surrounded by the pale skin on his wrist, which looked particularly shocking.

The guards around were so shocked by this scene that they could not speak. Fang Fang had forgotten his breathing. He heard Xue Xian mutteringly ask, "What else will happen if you said the rash grows?"

One of the guards subconsciously murmured: "It hurts, itchy, and itchy, and the skin is broken and ulcerated..."

"Oh yes." Xue Xian responded.

So all the guards present watched his hand become skinny and fleshy. With a gentle movement of his fingers, a piece of flesh shook off.

guard:"……"

"How bad is it?" Xue Xian asked again.

All the guards were shocked and could not say a word.

Seeing that no one answered, Xue Xian bit the tip of his tongue and simply played with a big one.

The square-faced guard saw that his hands became more and more scary as they were, and began to swell down blood and flesh. He immediately screamed, and the hand that was pinched by Xue Xian's rotten claws suddenly shrank back. It was fine if he didn't move, but this move...

With a "click", Xue Xian's whole hand broke from his wrist bone and fell straight to the ground.

guard:"…………………………………………"

"Look, I was also uploaded. In just a while, my hands were rotten. I was still half paralyzed and could not walk. They were slow to go by me. At this time, let us return the same way. When we go to another county town and find the doctor to prescribe the medicine, I guess the whole thing will rot on him." Xue Xian pointed at Xuan Min with his claws that were so rotten that he could see the bones, and almost poked Xuan Min's face.

“…”

Xuan Min only glanced at his wrist and silently closed her eyes-

If he was not seeing it, he would take a look at it again, and he would be afraid that he would not be able to help throwing this evil and disgusting evil man directly to the ground.

"Should you ask me to go to the city to find a doctor?" Xue Xian looked like "I am just so reasonable" and said earnestly, "I'll reply to me, don't stick it up, if you stick it up, you will be rotten."

The square-faced guard shivered, and subconsciously made way out of the way through the repeated frights.

"Thank you." Xuan Min said lightly, holding Xue Xian, strode towards the city. With a move, the guards on both sides gave in and out of the city gates, as if as long as they were a little closer to him, they would be as bad as Xue Xian.

The guards looked at their backs and never came back to their senses for a long time. After a long time, one of the guards accidentally glanced at them and suddenly shouted: "Look!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw the guard pointing at the place where Xue Xian was originally standing and said, "The hand just now, the hand just now is gone..."

Just now, Xue Xian's hand that had just fallen to the ground was gone, and instead it was a piece of white plum branch that had been broken from somewhere.

The guard was shocked and turned to chase after him, but found that the people were gone and they didn't know where they had been.

They were about to report to the leader, but when they saw the square-faced guard still standing there, they suddenly stopped and said to him from afar, "Brother Li, Brother Li? Don't be stunned! Go and find a doctor! If the medical hall is busy, go to the closest Fang family pharmacy shop to catch some medicine first. The pharmacy shop has been taking many medicines for people recently, and they must have memorized the prescriptions! Let's take your post, so you can go back quickly, ah?"

"Yeah." Li Li was stunned for a moment and responded. He lowered his head and leaned his long sword against the city gate, and went to the medical hall in the city west without saying a word.

In the east alley opposite him, Xuan Min and the others were following Jiang Shining toward his elder sister's house. When Shi Tou Zhang walked around, he couldn't help but look back, for fear that a brigade of guards would chase him.

"Don't hook your neck, no one follows you." Xue Xian could tell whether anyone was chasing him by his ears, "What should I do so carefully?"

Everyone thought to themselves: Do you have the right to say it?

Whenever I arrive in a county town, the ancestors have to do something in public, as if they will come in vain if they do something.

Jiang Shining once came to Anqing, but he didn't say much, but the road was still familiar. He turned around and stood in front of a house.

The door face is very small, not the main entrance, but facing the back door of the narrow alley. There is a circular stone carving squatting on each side of the door, with two stone steps sandwiched.

"The main entrance is a medicine shop, and it has always been busy. When the family members walk around, they walk through the back door, connecting the backyard and the house." Jiang Shining explained.

"Bald donkey, let me sit down." Xue Xian took advantage of Jiang Shining to hold the door and asked Xuan Min to put him on the stone carving.

He pinched the bone-exposed wrist and stretched out his real hand again, and said to Xuan Min: "Lucky, give me another cleansing spell, and accidentally paste the flesh on the cuff."

"..." Whether it was a stone or a knocking on the door... even Lu Erqi, who was very careful, turned his head with a terrible look on his face.

Xuan Min glanced at Xue Xian's cuffs, then withdrew her gaze. With his shameless nature, this look was at the limit. He was probably very upset by this evil, and he didn't draw any cleansing spells according to Xue Xian's words. He probably felt that it would be difficult to completely clean up the scene of the broken skin and flesh just now. So he pressed his cold face, raised his hand and directly scratched Xue Xian's elbow, and then pulled it cleanly.

The sleeve seemed to have been cut by a knife, and it broke neatly from the elbow.

Xuan Min just held the half-blocked sleeve, scratched the fire bar expressionlessly, and burned it clean.

"..." Xue Xian had probably never thought that anyone would dare to tear his clothes casually, and he never thought that the first one with this courage was the bald donkey. He was stunned with half his arms bare. He stared at his eyes for a while, then lowered his head, lifted Xuan Min's monk's robe without saying a word, wiped his "frozen hands" hard, and then sent it to Xuan Min: "Come on, I'm naked, you have to bare your legs to calm my anger."

Jiang Shining silently threw a sympathetic glance at Xuan Min. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the narrow door in front of him being pulled open from the inside. A girl in her teens asked, "Who is it?" and poked her head out.

Familiar face!

When he saw that he knew someone, Jiang Shining smiled and bowed, "Oh, it's Xing--"

As soon as he said two words, the girl screamed and slammed the door without saying a word.
