"Grandpa, shall we leave now?"

The little boy standing on the deck of the farmer's merchant ship watched a large number of supplies being transported onto the cargo ship like a fish by the clan warriors, and hesitated towards the farmer beside him.

The old man who was in good spirits held the pole of the ship had countless green tendons on his hands, and it was not a simple decision to give up the foundation of Chaochang.

But the old man knew when to push the crowd out, so even if there were some optimistic and naïve voices in the family, he still forcibly suppressed them.

But the grandson's questioning is like the last grass that crushes the camel, breaking the nerves that have already stretched to the limit.

"How are you doing?"

The young man who was full of courage to change the world did not realize the change in his grandfather's tone, but said with confidence: "The farmer is a wealthy family in Longzhou, and now that Chaochang is in chaos and the plague is raging, it is a good time for my clan to come out and raise their arms and lead countless people out of the predicament!"

"Really?"

The farmer turned around and looked at his beloved little grandson, and asked lightly: "Do you think that the plague in Chaochang is an opportunity for our clan?"

"Exactly!"

The young man held his head high, and his eyes shining like stars were full of longing for the future: "At this time, those Chaochang families are panicked like headless flies at this time, and naturally they can't think of a way to solve things. The source of the plague is the problem of the water supply and drainage system, but there are many cities in the world that do not rely on the water supply and drainage system, as long as Chaochang is divided into small urban areas, and then the regional wells are purified to ensure that the water source is clear. After that, doctors will be dispatched from the outer city to suppress the plague, and the plague will be eliminated by the two-pronged approach!"

"Well said. ”

After the farmer praised him, he said to the young man with a happy face: "Give your family three hundred warriors, and in three months, as long as you can protect a street in Chaochang's inner city, you will be a candidate for the next clan of the farmer's family." ”

The face of the young man who was still in high spirits just now changed, and the original intention of these words was to let his grandfather know that he was different from those arrogant and lascivious rice worms in the clan, and most of the passionate words pointing to the country were summaries of the speeches of the depressed strategists in private drinking parties.

But how feasible these exciting methods can be, not to mention him, even the strategist who proposed the solution has no bottom in his heart.

Just relying on this to solve the danger of Chaochang, isn't it like hitting a stone with an egg and throwing a dog with a meat bag.

Even if there is such a big pie as a candidate for the next clan in the future, he can't muster the courage to give it a go.

"Grandfather..."

But the farmer who had made up his mind didn't give the young man any time to defend himself, and only said to a red-haired man behind him: "Order three hundred warriors and send the little boy off the boat." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The red-haired man grinned, stretched out his right arm like iron and steel, lifted the lost boy like a chicken, and dragged him to the back cabin.

"Sir... Jing Xian is also a teenager, why are you so troubled. ”

Mrs. Nong looked at the little grandson who was dragged away, distressed, and saw that there was no one left and right, so she complained to Master Nong.

"Farmers don't need rice worms that only talk about it. ”

Like a sword, the white eyebrows were raised, and the farmer complained to his wife: "It's all because you are too spoiled on weekdays, so Chaochang Nong's family has exhausted some wine bags and rice bags of straw bags, I don't know that the world is difficult, and I boast of my talent every day when I drink and have fun with some guests, if I don't sharpen it, I will only become a laughing stock when I return to Yancang!"

"But Jing Xian has been with us since he was a child, and he has never been alone, and now this plague is so fierce, he is a child, if he has three long and two short, how should the concubine live!"

was drunk by the farmer, and the departure of her grandson, which made Mrs. farmer cry.

"Strict fathers and loving mothers have many defeated children!"

Seeing that he was upset, the farmer said viciously: "With Liu Hong to take care of you, you are still afraid that he will die." ”

"Sail, turn the rudder, sail!"

On the fifth day of the first month of April, more than 30 Nong's shops on Zhuque Street in Shangcheng District were closed, and the peasants went to empty the building.

The angry people felt that they had been betrayed, and the peasant boy Nong Jingxian and the three hundred soldiers were surrounded by angry people.

In the chaos, no one could hear the little boy's shouting, and the people just repeated the shouting: "Why don't you take us with you!"

"Why didn't the farmer take us along!"

With the departure of the Yan Cangnong clan, the caravan of the Liu clan of Chuanyuan also drove out of Dongcheng, and the solemn military formation was the flash of steel swords and iron armor, blocking all the refugees who wanted to climb up.

Some shrewd people knew that this might be an opportunity, so they fled after the caravan, and the Liu clan did not drive them away.

With the departure of the two wealthy families in Longzhou, the families of Chaochang seemed to have received some kind of signal, and almost overnight, the porridge shacks, medicine houses, and even the patrolling samurai in the streets and alleys disappeared.

In desperation, the patient can only walk aimlessly through the streets, and then collapse at some point, coughing and suffocating, or die of ulcers in his internal organs.

From the time they were contaminated by the plague to the time they died, the time left for the people to live was only three days, or even less.

The water supply and drainage system has been completely abandoned, the well and Qutang have become the most important materials in Chaochang, in this plague-ridden city, no one cares about fame and bottom line, the family will occupy all the clean water sources, and return all the people who dare to come forward to fight.

Living himself or living the people, the remaining clean water source in Chaochang cannot supply the whole city at all, and in this plague, the family cannot be regarded as strong.

But the darker the times, the more people yearn for light, and when everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, there are still people who are willing to stand up and want to rebuild order and help more people.

For example, a celestial girl with superb medical skills suddenly appeared at the entrance of Dongshikou in Xiacheng District, and countless people were alive in just a few days.

There is a handsome monk who goes up and down the mountain in Fuyun Temple, and his body is as transparent as glass, and the plague is extinguished everywhere he passes.

There were 500 terrifying-looking corpses walking the streets and alleys, and when they saw the sick, they stepped forward to bite them, but after biting, the epidemic healed naturally, leaving only some external injuries.

There are also the Taoists of the Flying Sand Temple, the healers of the Poison Hand Forest, the pharmacists of the Royal Beast Sect, and the doormen of the family.

These glimmers bloom in the dark night of Chaochang, so that the patients affected by the epidemic will not despair, but these glimmers together are also difficult to compete with the geometric increase in the number of patients, looking at the increasing number of patients and the drugs that are bottoming out quickly.

"The herbs will run out in three days, and the caravan will not be able to contact any of them. ”

Yunxiu's eyes were red, and she said to Tang Luo, "There are still thousands of patients outside, what should I do!?"

"I've thought about all the ways I need to think about it, and you know that you have to face reality after all. ”

Tang Luo couldn't bear to see the woman crying, but he still said the truth: "The key to the epidemic is the water source, but Chaochang has too many people and too little clean water..."
