Copper Coins Chapter 45: Pandemic County (3)

"Cough cough—" Shito Zhang was choked by the cold wind and coughed several times. He frowned and covered his nose and mouth with one hand, fanned in front of him with the other, and muttered, "What kind of smell is this? It seems to be the smell of medicine, mixed with other smells... It's like something grows moldy."

"Fresh medicinal juice mixed with some moldy medicinal dregs, this is the taste." Jiang Shining explained, but he did not cover his nose, after all, this kind of taste is common to him——

There are several small stoves in the back room of the Jiang Family Medical Hall. Every day from morning to night, the medicine is gurgled almost every day. On the rainy days of April every year, the medicinal residues are poured at the back door in the morning, and when they are cleaned at night, a faint rotten smell will be suffocated. Therefore, the mixture of the two is not difficult for Jiang Shining to recognize.

How old is the Jiang Family Medical Center? How big is Qingping County? If you want to have this smell as soon as you open the city gate, there must be a dozen or so families in the vicinity who are decocting and pouring medicinal residues at the same time.

So many people are sick at the same time?

Everyone suddenly had a bad premonition...

Jiang Shining's face changed, and he raised his feet to go to the city. Unexpectedly, the crowd just took two steps, and several soldiers guarding the city "swiped" to the ground, holding a long knife and knife head in their hands, and they blocked the way.

"Near the Japanese county gates are not allowed to pass, everyone please come back." The guard said firmly.

"Dare to ask a few officials, why are they not allowed to pass?" Jiang Shining was a little anxious when he heard the words, and couldn't help but ask.

The guard still said coldly, "No comment, please come back!"

It's just that when he said this, his eyes couldn't help but look straight at Xuan Min. The other square-faced guard beside him raised a long knife, pointed at Xuan Min and beat the person he was holding horizontally, and frowned: "What are you holding a dead person for? Seeking bad luck?"

He said, he stretched out his hand to push Xuanmin, and wanted them to stay away from the city gate, so that they wouldn't get in the way here.

“Pop—”

When the square-faced guard saw that he was about to push Xuanmin, Xue Xian lifted the black cloth covering his face, pinched his wrist with his pale hand, turned his head and said quietly, "Speak well, move what? Hands and feet?"

"Heh—" The guard shrank his hand in shock, but couldn't pull it back.

He probably didn't expect that a man who covered his head to his ankles with black clothes was actually alive, he was taken aback by Xue Xian, blushed and shouted thickly, "Bold! ?"

He looked down at Xue Xian's thin and white fingers, which did not look like Kong Wu's strength, so he tried to break free twice, but the fingers were like iron pliers, and there was no sign of loosening at all. .

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

"Okay—" Xue Xian said lazily, "You talk about it first, it's so good, why doesn't the city gate allow people to enter, is there any room for accommodation?"

This ancestor speaks politely, but with the strength of his hands, it looks like a threat no matter what.

Seeing this, the other guards took a step forward with their eyes wide open, and they were about to come around when they saw it. Xuan Min, who was holding Xue Xian, closed his eyes slightly, moved his lips twice, and lightly stepped on the ground with his right foot.

Those guards only felt the ground under their feet tremble inexplicably, and they were turned upside down, and in the blink of an eye, they were turned back in place.

The guards were shocked: "Earthquake?!"

It seems that the previous earthquake in Anqing Mansion has left some shadows on them, so that after being shaken so much, the guards froze in place, looked at each other, and did not dare to move for a while. He held his breath, waiting to be flipped a second time.

"Let go!" The square-faced guard who was pinched by Xue Xian was also a little nervous. He shortened his body, slapped his wrist again, and said to Xue Xian, "It's not that we don't want to say it, you have seen it, too. There have been frequent earthquakes in Qingping these days, the houses are unstable, and the epidemic disease is constant. I asked you to go back for your own sake, not to harm you!”

"Disease?" Xue Xian grasped the key, "Is there an epidemic in Qingping County?"

Seeing that the square-faced guard couldn't get rid of them for a while, he shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the ground in the county cracked a few holes, and some unknown black bugs crawled out from the ground. There are some people in the county. When people are bitten by those black insects, they will develop rashes on their bodies, which are so painful that they cannot be scratched, they will break when scratched, and within two days they will start to fester in large areas, which is described as terrifying.”

"Where's the doctor? Didn't you get the medicine in time?" Jiang Shining couldn't help asking.

"In the beginning, I didn't know so much. Some people couldn't bear to go to the doctor. Lowering his voice, his tone was faint, sounding rather frightened: "It's spreading very fast, haven't you smelled the smell of medicinal dregs all over the city?"

"Okay, why bother talking to them!" Seeing that the ground didn't tremble any more, the other guards straightened up again, impatiently trying to chase people away.

Xue Xianxin said: If you stop me like this, I won't care! I can do anything.

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

Just when all the guards gathered and were about to come hard, a black man standing at the back suddenly exclaimed "ah", pointed at the back of the square face and said, "Brother Li, you, you The back of the neck!"

"What's the matter?" Fang Mian felt a little uneasy when he heard his tone, and subconsciously touched the back of his neck with his free hand. When he was getting dressed this morning, he somehow felt that there was something wrong with that piece. He thought it was because the clothes were worn, because the time was in a hurry to change the guard, and he didn't bother to investigate.

"There's a rash!" Another guard took a closer look at the light of the lantern, and immediately took two steps back, "The size of two thumbs!"

At first, everyone hooked their heads to look at it, but when they heard this, the "hula" dispersed like a tidal wave.

"Oh...that's what you call the rash, you also have it on the tiger's mouth." Xue Xian calmly pinched his wrist bone and motioned him to take a look at the tiger's mouth, "Well, there is also a small piece."

The square-faced guards were all dumbfounded.

Xue Xian glanced at the rash and suddenly had an idea.

The idea of ​​this ancestor has always been... extraordinary. Seeing that he suddenly took a "hiss" breath, he said to his fingers holding the square face: "It's really fast enough, I'll grow it too."

Fang face was startled when he heard the words, and looked down in a daze, and saw that Xue Xian's hand was developing a large red rash that was visible to the naked eye, spreading from the tips of his fingers all the way to the back of his hand. Soon the whole hand was red and swollen, lined by the pale skin on the wrist, which looked particularly shocking.

The surrounding guards were so shocked by this scene that they were completely speechless. Fang face even forgot to breathe. He heard Xue Xian muttering in horror and asked, "You just said this rash. What will happen when it grows?"

One of the guards murmured subconsciously: "The pain, the itching is unbearable, the skin is festering..."

"Oh yes." Xue Xian responded.

So all the guards present watched helplessly as his hand became fleshy, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a piece of flesh was shaken off.

Guard: "..."

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

All the guards were stunned, unable to say a word.

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

The Fang-faced guard saw that his hands were getting worse and more frightening, and he began to chug and shed flesh and blood. It's okay if he doesn't move, this move...

As soon as he heard a "click", Xue Xian's entire hand rotted from the wrist bone and fell straight to the ground.

Guard: "……………………………………"

"Look, I've also been uploaded. After a while, my hands are all rotten. I'm still half paralyzed and can't walk. They're slow when I drag them down. Let's go the same way at this time. Go back, and when I go to another county town and find the doctor who prescribes the prescription, I guess the whole thing will rot on him." Xue Xian pointed at Xuan Min with his rotten paw that could see the bones, and almost poked Xuan Min. face.

“…”

Xuan Min only glanced at his wrist before closing his eyes silently——

Out of sight is pure, take one more look, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist throwing this demon and disgusting evil barrier directly to the ground.

"Should you let me hurry into the city to find a doctor?" Xue Xian said with an expression of "that's how I'm reasonable", and said earnestly, "Tell me back, stop stomping, and stab you again. It's going to rot too."

The square-faced guard shivered, subconsciously giving way in this repeated shock.

"Thank you." Xuan Min said lightly, holding Xue Xian and striding towards the city. As soon as he moved, the guards on both sides took two steps back again, and put them on the city gate, as if he would rot like Xue Xian if he got closer to him.

The guards looked at their backs, not returning to their senses for a long time. After a long while, one of the guards inadvertently glanced out of the corner of the eye and suddenly called out, "Look!"

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

Just now, Xue Xian's hand that fell to the ground was gone, replaced by a white plum branch that was broken from nowhere.

The guard was startled, turned his head to chase, but found that the few people had disappeared, and he didn't know where to turn.

They were about to report it to the leader, but when they saw the guard with the square face still standing there, they stopped their steps suddenly, and said to him from a distance: "Brother Li, Brother Li? Don't be stunned! Go and find him Doctor! If the medical hall is busy, go to the nearest Fang's pharmacy to get some medicine first. The pharmacy has been filled with medicines for many people recently, and the prescriptions must be memorized! We will take your post, and you can go back quickly. huh, huh?"

"Hmm." Li Li was stunned for a moment, then replied. He lowered his head and leaned his long sword against the city gate, and went to the west side of the city's medical hall without saying a word.

In the east alley in the opposite direction to him, Xuan Min and the others were following Jiang Shining towards his elder sister's house, and Shitou couldn't help but look around as he walked, for fear of being chased by a large group of guards.

"Stop hooking your neck, no one is following." Xue Xianguang could tell by his ears if anyone was chasing after him, "Why are you so careful."

Everyone thought: Do you have the face to say that?

Every time I go to a county, this ancestor has to do something in public, as if doing something is a waste of time.

Jiang Shining had been to Anqing before, and he said it not many times, but the road was still familiar. After three turns, he stood in front of a gate house.

The front door is very small, not the main door, but the back door facing the narrow alley. On each side of the door is a round stone sculpture, sandwiched by two stone steps.

"The main entrance is a pharmacy, which has always been busy. My family and relatives walk through the back door, leading to the backyard and the house." Jiang Shining explained.

"Bald donkey, let me sit down." Xue Xian took advantage of Jiang Shining to lock the door and asked Xuanmin to put him on the stone sculpture.

He squeezed his boneless wrist, and while he stretched out his real hand again, he said to Xuanmin: "Excuse me, give me another clothes-cleaning spell, and accidentally put the flesh on the cuff." /

"..." Whether it was Shi Shizhang or Jiang Shining who was knocking on the door... Even Lu Nianqi, who was very ignorant, turned his head away with a miserable face.

Xuan Min glanced at Xue Xian's cuff, then withdrew his gaze at the touch of a touch. With his disdainful temperament, this glance was the limit. He was probably made very bad by this evil obstacle, and he didn't draw any clothes-cleaning spell in response to Xue Xian's words. He probably thought that the clothes-cleaning spell would be difficult to completely clean up the tattered scene just now. So he put on that frosty face, raised his hand and slashed directly at Xue Xian's elbow, and then simply pulled.

The sleeve was cut neatly at the elbow, as if it had been cut by a knife.

Xuan Min just carried the half-battered sleeve, made an inch of the fire with no expression on his face, and burned it clean.

"..." Xue Xian probably never thought that someone would dare to tear his clothes casually, let alone this bald donkey who was the first to have the guts. He stared blankly for a while, then lowered his head, lifted up Xuan Min's monk robe without saying a word, wiped his "rotten and regrown hand" with all his might, and then sent it to Xuan Min: " Come burn, I'm bare-chested, you have to be bare-leg to calm my anger."

Jiang Shining silently cast a sympathetic glance at Xuanmin. He was about to say something when he heard the narrow door in front of him being pulled open. A teenage girl asked "Who is it?" head over.

Familiar faces!

As soon as I saw someone I knew, Jiang Shining smiled and cupped his hands: "Oh, it's Xing——"

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