Chapter 6 The bleak scene
Some of these people had tears streaming down their cheeks and were in agitated moods, some were horrified and their faces were distorted, some were clutching their chests and falling to the ground, as if they were in a state of intoxication, as if they were in a dream without waking up. Some even had smiles on their faces, wandering away from other things and unable to help themselves.
Chen Shengyi, An Ziteng and others had profound inner strength and strong concentration, and their minds were not out of control. It took the rest of them a long time to regain their consciousness, as if they were in a dream.
Qin Langchuan said with enthusiasm: "I have seen actors and singers who can make people mesmerize. I have never seen a martial artist whose fist postures can turn all living beings upside down. Xiao Hao, I came to Datong in less than a month, and I have never seen you practice in the meantime.
To think that your martial arts has advanced to such a level!"
Chang Sihao was a little surprised: "Have my martial arts improved? I don't feel it myself, and I really haven't practiced. I just think about the postures in Zhuang Kung when I walk, sit or lie down, and always keep calm and relaxed. Occasionally
Think about the scene when you faced Sonam Gyatso, and just have a battle with him in your mind."
Qin Langchuan nodded: "You usually keep your body in a posture, and you have become accustomed to it. Others walk, sit and lie down. But when you walk, sit and lie down, you are practicing kung fu. Naturally, you can get twice the result with half the effort. From your fists
In terms of realm and charm, he is much higher than me. The martial arts in the world are
The spirit is not in the form. You have transformed from the form into the mind, reaching the state of divine training. You do not practice kung fu, but you can train people by yourself. You have no teacher to teach you, but you can master the boxing theory by yourself. This kind of understanding is really rare in the world, and it looks like you are one up and down.
, the whole body looks like one, I am afraid that this skill is not much better than when I was in my prime."
Chang Sihao thought to himself, so what? The infinite body with no pulses, no acupuncture points, and the rivers and seas that the old man Baofu said is still far away. He smiled and said: "I don't understand the principles of martial arts and boxing, so let everything go as it goes.
Naturally, that’s fine.”
An Ziteng twisted his beard and praised with a smile: "The descendants are to be feared!"
Qin Langchuan said: "There are good and bad descendants, and they are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Not many of them are attractive to me. Playboys like Yin Ruju and Guan Yilan can also be a young swordsman. It can be seen that today's
What has become of the world? Among this generation,
, I am afraid that except for Xiao Jinshiyue, there are not many people who truly rely on their own strength to live their lives instead of relying on the spiritual cards of their ancestors. As the saying goes, when the world is in chaos, heroes will emerge in large numbers, and when the world is governed, talents will emerge in large numbers. In a world without chaos, there will be no rule.
You’re all a fucking loser!”
Everyone laughed. Qin Langchuan patted Chang Sihao on the shoulder: "Xiao Hao, you are pretty good in other aspects, but if you want to truly mature and be able to stand alone in the future, you still lack one thing." He paced forward.
He stepped forward and turned around with his hands behind his back: "What you lack is the word "jue". A true man,
You can be cautious, but you must act decisively and without hesitation or procrastination. You are steady and ruthless in your actions, but you seem to think more about things and are always waiting for others to make decisions for you. Maybe it was because you were always in the military before.
Follow the character and habit formed by following other people's orders and acting behind them. From now on..."
Suddenly hearing the noise of people on the street and bursts of crying, Qin Langchuan asked around him: "What's going on?"
Someone went out to visit and soon reported back: "Old Master, an epidemic has broken out in the city, and General Yan is sending people to enforce quarantine." Qin Langchuan was startled and quickly led the crowd out. He saw the sergeants on the street all wrapped their faces in cloth towels and hurried to
captured
Some of the patients were unable to walk and were being carried on stretchers. There were also soldiers pulling flatbed trucks. The patients were stacked on top of each other. Their bodies were covered in spots. All of them were limp and dying. It was unbearable to see. Ask the sergeant.
A few words, everyone follows the team
When Wu came to Huayan Temple, he saw many simple white cloth tents set up here, with a table and two chairs inside, each with a masked doctor examining the patient. Xinlu was also among them, wearing black clothes and a bald head.
, very eye-catching. One person is wearing red clothes,
Holding his chin with both hands, he squatted next to her and raised his face to look at her diagnosis with great interest. It was Qin Juexiang. Qin Langchuan frowned, thinking that you should go to the head of Xinlu to accompany you, but you are like a little kid.
Crouching next to her like a dog, what a look!
When Qin Juexiang saw his group arriving, he hurriedly stood up. Looking at his grandfather's face, he knew that he was blaming him again and hurriedly interrupted to talk about the epidemic situation. After hearing this, Qin Langchuan exchanged glances with Chen Shengyi, Chang Sihao and others and said: "
How could a disease suddenly break out in such a good place? It must be Mo Rigen who is up to something. He carries the source of rat urine and spreads it everywhere, so that we can reduce our combat power and destroy ourselves without attacking."
An Ziteng said: "Ida has not attacked the city in the past few days. It seems that I must have received his message and stayed put to wait for the outbreak of the epidemic."
Chen Sheng pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and frowned: "Mo Rigen is slippery than a slipper, and ghost than a ghost. For the past few days, I have led people to search everywhere every day. The prefect Liu also sent yamen to help.
I can't seem to find any trace of him."
"Hmph!" Qin Juexiang looked at the patients with sad faces and said bitterly: "A group of us are being played around by him alone. If we continue like this, we will lose our face!"
Chang Sihao said: "He is now alone in the city, drawing shadows and arresting people everywhere. Food and accommodation are two problems. Now that the epidemic has broken out, everyone may be infected. He will definitely find a place with food and clean water.
Hide in a secret and safe place, or wait for an opportunity to escape from the city."
An Ziteng nodded in agreement: "In my opinion, it is very difficult for him to escape from the city. The second manager Chen led people to search like a net. It is not easy for him to find a place to hide quietly. Besides, now that we are under siege, everyone
People are very concerned about food. If he kills people and robs them, he will leave traces." Qin Juexiang snorted coldly: "He'd better not escape. When I catch him, I'll catch hundreds of mice.
Squeeze urine for him to drink every day!”
Xinlu and other doctors worked hard for four or five days before they finished checking the infected people in the city and moved them all to live in Huayan Temple. The family members of the patients who were not sick were also taken into the temple and arranged for empty houses to be moved to other places for convenience.
After observing the situation, only those who are not infected will be allowed to be released. Soldiers have also been arranged to guard the wells in the city to prevent Morigen from poisoning.
Since there was no medicine and all the patients had to do was stay strong, some of the patients continued to die. Every day, corpses were placed in the hospital and burned on the spot. The survivors looked at each other for help, feeling desperate and desolate. Some people who were in mild condition wanted to escape over the wall for their lives.
They were all killed on the spot by the sergeants. Those who saw them were horrified and stopped.
Dare to cause chaos. However, although the sick people have been isolated, the epidemic has not been completely controlled. There are still people who get sick and are sent to Huayan Temple to wait for death. Fortunately, in the military, food and drinking water are managed by dedicated personnel. More than a dozen
After the sick person was promptly isolated, the rest of the people were safe and sound.
I sent people to write a lot of letters urging surrender and shot arrows into the city, saying that the epidemic was God's will and that if the soldiers and people surrendered early, they would be spared death. General Yan sent people to collect and burn them, but the people's morale was not good and the morale of the army was also affected.
Low. Autumn is getting colder, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, the frost and dew are miserable in the morning and evening,
The entire city of Datong also seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of death. No matter night or day, the streets and alleys were deserted and ghostly. Although there were several large-scale searches in the city, there was still no trace of Mo Rigen, and everyone was angry.
I couldn't help but secretly praise the Tatar's clever methods.
Since the news about how to bomb the corpse pile to protect the city wall spread, Chang Sihao is now regarded as a hero in the army. That day, he and Qin Juexiang led several men from the helm to patrol the night, and a sergeant saw him and greeted him quickly
Seeing the ceremony. Qin Juexiang saw that someone among them mentioned
Holding the bamboo basket, he asked: "What are you doing?" The sergeant said: "Here are the dead rats we shot, and we are about to pile them up and burn them to prevent them from spreading the disease." Qin Juexiang nodded, and several sergeants were there.
A fire was lit on the roadside and it burned.
Smelling the aroma of meat rising from the burnt pile of rats, Qin Juexiang laughed and said: "I heard that people in the south eat rats. I feel sick just hearing about it, but now that I smell it, I really want to try it.
"
Chang Sihao said: "Rat meat is tender and tender, and voles can be eaten if they are less sick. However, dirty and sick animals living in ditches and other places cannot be eaten."
Qin Juexiang was extremely surprised: "So you have eaten it."
Chang Sihao smiled: "I ate all the roots of bark and grass when I was in my hometown. If you catch a mouse, it is a delicious meal. Can you make it run away?" Qin Juexiang shook his head and sighed. The sergeants had other official duties.
Seeing that it was almost burned, he and
The two of them said goodbye and left. Chang Sihao and Qin Juexiang led the people to continue patrolling the streets. After walking a few steps, they heard a sound behind them. Looking back, they saw several black figures emerging from the darkness at the corner of the street, lying on the ground.
, digging into the pile of burned rats.
Qin Juexiang shouted: "Who is that?" The dark figures looked up. Each of them was in ragged clothes, their faces were dirty and their appearance could not be seen clearly. They were pulling the burnt rat skin in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths with blood and meat.
, some have their cheeks full, with half a mouse tail exposed at the corner of their mouth.
These beggars glanced at him, then lowered their heads and continued to fight for each other, devouring their food. Qin Juexiang couldn't help frowning when he saw how they were eating. Chang Sihao shouted loudly: "These mice may be carrying diseases, you don't want to eat them."
Are you dead?"
The beggars only focused on eating, and no one paid attention to him. Chang Sihao shouted: "Catch them!" The people behind him swarmed forward with swords in hand. The frightened beggars randomly grabbed a few burnt rats, put them in their arms, and ran away.
, everyone wanted to chase, Qin Juexiang said: "Wait a minute!" In a moment, the beggar had ran away without a trace. Chang Sihao said: "Juexiang, you
What are they doing?" Qin Juexiang said: "They sleep on the streets every day. They have ringworm, scabies, cough, asthma, and tuberculosis. What diseases are they free of? Death from starvation is death, and death from illness is death. They don't care at all. Let them eat whatever they want! Are they going to be arrested?
How can they be sent to Huayan Temple? They have no family, so who will provide food to support them? Do they still need to provide military food?"
Chang Sihao said: "They got the disease and spread it everywhere on the streets. What's the point? Even if we don't care about their life or death, what about others?" Qin Juexiang rolled his eyes: "I didn't expect that, oh, since they are all gone.
, forget it. This
These people squat in the sewers every day, and the infection is passed on to each other by themselves. It won't be a big deal. It won't be too late to catch us next time we meet. This is not far from Huayan Temple. Let's go over and see Sister Xinlu!" Chang pulled Chang.
Sihao's sleeves just move forward.
Chang Sihao had no choice but to follow him. The two walked through the streets to the outside of the temple and greeted the defenders. They left their entourage behind and walked into the temple. At this time, the sky was at sea, the night was dark, and the temple was as quiet as empty.
There is not even a shadow of a lamp, and it floats from time to time
There were one or two painful ejaculations, cold and strange, Qin Juexiang's scalp felt a little numb, and he wanted to see Xinlu, but he couldn't care anymore. Suddenly he heard a slight creak of the door, and a black figure flashed into the side of the hall.
