Chapter 590 Refugees
Fu Qingzhou is lucky, he doesn’t need to think of anything else.
When he woke up early the next morning, his cheeks were itchy and painful. When he touched it with his hand, he found that a hard shell had grown on both cheeks, half the size of a palm. When the muscles were involved, there was a pain like needles.
His injuries have healed somewhat, but Qi Ranjue no longer attacks the dirty stone. It feels like the dirty stone has become a part of his body and will no longer Recognized as foreign object.
“This stone disease is indeed a bit serious.”
Fu Qingzhou's eyes paused slightly: "Is this why it can't be removed? Just like cancer, it becomes a part of the body after taking root, and it can't be removed no matter how..."
With a creak, the door in his room The door was pushed open.
They were temporarily staying at a villager's house that night. Originally, there wouldn't be so many empty rooms in the village, but after an epidemic, many old people who were originally in poor health died, so naturally there were too many empty rooms. They bought a few rooms, enough for them to deal with temporarily for one night.
The door opened and Ning Wushu walked in - Fu Qingzhou almost didn't recognize her.
Dirty stones also appeared on her face.
Liang Guangchang did control the growth area of the dirty stones extremely well. The dirty stones happened to cover her cheeks and pulled the muscles near the corners of her eyes and mouth. Both the shape of her eyes and the corners of her mouth had changed. In addition, she deliberately changed the shape of her eyes and mouth today. After putting on coarse linen clothes and letting his hair down, he looked completely different from before.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as he entered the room, Ning Wushu glanced at Fu Qingzhou's face: "Your dirty stones have a wider range than mine. They will Will it affect your normal actions?"
Fu Qingzhou shook his head and got out of bed: "Only on the face... Qi Ranjue should control their growth on its own, and from the current point of view, it should not spread."
“That’s a lot easier.”
Ning Wushu smiled: "I have to use my energy to resist at all times, otherwise... I can feel them drilling deeper into my body."
"Go to Divine Doctor Liang for a prescription." Fu Qingzhou He said softly: "Just in case, at least his medicine can make the dirty stones fall off temporarily."
When they arrived at the center of the village, Liang Guangchang's clinic had been set up again, and there were only a few villagers who had gotten up early. Ask questions in front of the clinic table.
There is no snow today, but it is extremely cold.
The person sitting behind the consultation table is not Liang Guangchang, but his two apprentices. They are looking at the consultation with sleepy eyes - although these villagers have almost all used medicine yesterday, each of them has a different physical condition and dirty Stone falling off is not something that can take effect with just one dose of medicinal soup. It always requires observation and follow-up consultation.
"It seems that Divine Doctor Liang has not woken up yet."
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "He was tired enough yesterday."
"Then wait." Ning Wu Shu smiled: "There are not many officials in the yamen today. They must be tired from yesterday."
Like ordinary villagers, the two of them found a big tree to lean on, pretending to be half dead. He looked like a patient, looking at the many other patients wrapped in torn cotton clothes, huddled in front of the consultation table for consultation.
Their eyes were humble and nervous, with eager anticipation and hope in their eyes during the consultation. They wanted to get closer to hear what the apprentice in the medical clinic said, but they saw the cloth on the other person's face and hands. After taking off his gloves, he shivered and shrank back, smiling pitifully.
"Huijue is really not a human being." Fu Qingzhou suddenly said softly: "He really doesn't treat people as human beings."
Ning Wushu didn't speak, but his eyes were slightly cold.
At this moment, not far from the other side of the village, there were sudden bursts of rapid footsteps.
The two of them looked around and saw several yamen officials running towards them with panic on their faces!
It was obviously a cold winter day, but they were sweating profusely and hurriedly ran towards the carriage parked at the entrance of the village, knocking away several villagers along the way. They also came forward to ask them confused questions along with their colleagues. He was pushed away by them.
They hurriedly unhooked the horses from the carriage. It was obvious that they thought the carriage was too slow and had to ride away.
Before jumping on the horse, a clerk turned around, with a look of fear on his face, and shouted to his colleague.
"Hurry up and pack your things and go back immediately! Something big is going to happen!" Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu looked at each other with slightly stern eyes.
“Go and see.”
After Ning Wushu finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but Fu Qingzhou held his shoulders down.
"Remember." Fu Qingzhou whispered: "We are patients now. I don't know if there are any people with Huijue in this village... There is no hurry at this moment."
< br>Ning Wushu was startled, then smiled and said: "You are right, you are really good at lurking."
The two of them quietly, without disturbing anyone, were among a group of frightened and confused children. Among the officials and the villagers, they were just two ordinary villagers walking away in the snow. There was nothing special about them except that they seemed a little strange.
They walked along where the few officials had come from, and soon realized something was wrong.
In the distance, one could faintly hear the sound of silent, thunderous footsteps. It sounded like the number of people was terrifying, but no one could be heard talking. Only the slight trembling of the ground could prove that they were approaching.
The two looked slightly stunned.
Going forward in this direction, there is a hill that is neither high nor short. Standing on the hillside, you can just see the rushing Hongjiang not far away and the endless long beach extending to the horizon.
But at this time, it was not just the Hongjiang that was flowing.
Countless people came slowly along the edge of the river. At first glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people. They were scattered, but they gathered together into a large team.
These people were at least ten miles away from Tianshou Village, but their silent and desperate aura seemed to have spread in the air, and was sent to Fu Qingzhou along with the cold winter wind.
"That's..."
Ning Wushu said in shock: "Refugees?!"
"Yes." Fu Qingzhou said calmly.
He concentrated his eyes and looked far into the distance, and could vaguely see the appearance of the refugees at the head.
Their clothes were in rags, they were shivering in the cold winter wind, their skin was blue and purple from the cold... most importantly, their bodies were all covered with dirty stones.
Not one or two, nor ten or hundreds.
But these tens of thousands of refugees are all suffering from lithiasis!
"Where did they come from?"
Fu Qingzhou gritted his teeth and asked. At this moment, he felt cold from the bottom of his heart, so cold that his hands and feet were stiff and numb, and his heart and lungs were so cold that they freeze.
Ning Wushu sighed softly: "If my guess is correct, it is in the direction of Panyang City."
Tianshou Village is located between Anyue City and Panyang City, about twenty or thirty miles away from Anyue City and about 20 to 30 miles away from Panyang City. It's far away, more than a hundred miles away.
There are not many villages and towns on this road. The only reason is that the terrain is too low. When the flood water rises every summer, this area is prone to flooding. Therefore, even if there were villages and fields here in the past, they have long been gone. It was moved, and the official road connecting the two big cities of Anyue and Panyang naturally bypassed this area prone to flooding.
Who would have thought that there would be a large group of refugees coming silently along the Hongjiang River at this time? !
“It seems... we don’t have to work hard to find people who spread the belief in Paina Buddha.”
Fu Qingzhou sneered: "Soon, they will come to you on their own."
