Chapter 591 Natural and Man-made Disasters
A group of petty officials who were afraid of taking responsibility rode madly on their horses at a speed far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Before those slowly moving refugees entered Tianshou Village, they had already rushed back, followed by many petty officials and... officers and soldiers.
They even brought the defenders of Anyue City with them.
Of course, there are not that many cavalry in Anyue City. Almost all of these defenders came running on two legs. Fortunately, there were many people practicing martial arts in the army, so the journey of twenty or thirty miles was difficult for them. It’s not too far or too tiring to say.
Not long after, they nailed a long fence in front of Tianshou Village.
These defenders did not put their spears and spears on the fence to aim at the incoming refugees, but they still tightened their faces and tightened their weapons, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
At this time, of course Fu Qingzhou and Ning Wushu couldn't go to the front.
They and Liang Guangchang were sitting on a hilltop higher up in the village, looking at everything.
“It seems that Pan Yangcheng is in trouble.”
Liang Guangchang, who had just woken up, sighed: "Half a month ago, I exchanged letters with Brother Liu. He said that the epidemic there was much more serious. He hoped that I could take the time to go there, but I haven't had time yet..."
< br>After making up his mind, he explained: "Brother Liu is the shopkeeper of the largest medical clinic in Panyang City. Back then, we were medical classmates."
Fu Qingzhou didn't know how to comfort him and sighed.
Ning Wushu stared at the movements of the defenders and asked: "Doctor Liang, from what you have seen, how will they treat these refugees?"
"Anyue City defender general , it’s Chi Tiancong... This kid is quite kind, but he is usually too timid to make his own decisions.”
"As for Magistrate Yang of Anyue City...he is already old and will become an official in the coming year. He does things according to the rules and will not go overboard in the slightest."
Liang Guangchang said: "I think they must not dare. If the refugees are allowed to come over, they will probably set up camp on the river beach, provide porridge and provide medical care, and then report to the Chief Envoy of Wanbao Province and wait for the order."
Ning Wushu nodded slightly, with a solemn expression: "This is it. That's enough."
Liang Guangchang smiled bitterly: "Oh...it seems that I will die of exhaustion on the river beach this time."
Fu Qingzhou said nothing and looked deeply at those people. refugee.
These refugees were already approaching Tianshou Village at this time, and naturally they saw the defenders holding weapons in their hands.
Then there was a loud cry.
"Master Guan! Let us go! We are going to Anyue City!"
"We are going to die! We don't want to die!"
" Pan Yangcheng doesn’t want us! Please give us a way to survive!”
"You have Divine Doctor Liang, you can definitely save us! Save us!"
"I, I am also a defender! I am a defender of Panyang City! I haven't been discharged from the military yet! Can you let me go? Should I go there? I’ve cured the disease and can help you!”
These refugees started to cry, and some people started to kneel down and kowtow, so more and more people knelt down. They kowtow and cry.
A general came out of the defenders, probably the General Chi Liang Guangchang mentioned. He shouted something with all his strength, but perhaps because Nabu covered his face, his voice was completely lost to the cries of the refugees. Shouts suppressed.
“Something is going to happen.” Fu Qingzhou frowned.
Sure enough, almost at the moment he spoke, a refugee who was kneeling on the ground and crying with tears raised his head.
The refugee's eyes flashed with strong unwillingness and resentment, and he roared: "You all want us to die! In this case, we will die together! You are sick, just like us!"
< br>"Brothers, why are you still kneeling! Even if you die, I will drag them with you!"
After saying that, he suddenly got up and rushed towards General Chi like crazy!
His words and actions seemed to stimulate some people. Following a few cries and roars, several more people got up like him and rushed towards the fence too!
General Chi's pupils shrank.
The defenders in the front row were very nervous. Their spears and spears were placed on the fence, and their cold pointed tips were pointed at the refugees. "Don't! Don't!"
General Chi shouted, trying to get the defenders to take back their spears, but why weren't these defenders nervous?
The faces of the few refugees who rushed at the front were extremely ferocious. The dirty stones on their faces made their expressions even more terrifying. Their bloodshot eyes were filled with the murderous intent to die together...
How could these defenders remain calm in the face of such a scene?
General Chi struggled to stop several defenders, but he could not control more of his men, nor could he suppress the bloodshed that was about to break out.
In the blink of an eye, the refugees rushed up, and the front row defenders also gripped their spears and spears, aiming to stab them!
Not far away, Ning Wushu turned around suddenly and glared at Fu Qingzhou: "Why are you pulling me!"
When the first refugee broke out, she was already about to move. But Fu Qingzhou held him tightly.
"Sister Wu Shu, calm down!"
Fu Qingzhou said in a deep voice: "There are pushers behind all this! What they want to see is not a river of blood!"
Liang Guangchang remained silent. He was hunched over and silent.
The next moment, just as the tip of a certain spear was about to pierce the refugee's neck, a bright Buddha's light suddenly lit up.
It came from nowhere, but the moment it appeared, everyone felt at peace. Wherever the Buddha's light touched, all the refugees rushing forward seemed to have hit a soft wall. He bounced back lightly and fell to the ground.
The spears and spears were also lifted up by an invisible force, and all the defenders took half a step back uncontrollably.
Then, in the astonished eyes of everyone, the Buddha's light shrank slightly, revealing the source of the light - a plain white cassock.
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank: "Buddha's clothes! Li Qing is here!"
But the next moment, the Buddha's clothes floated far away, towards the Hongjiang River not far away, Hongjiang River I don't know when a small boat came up and headed towards the shore.
Li Qing... or Yuan Zhao, he did not show up, but in the light came another monk whom he had never seen before. This monk was about forty years old. He landed lightly on the ground, with his back to the guard. Facing the refugees, the soldiers clasped their hands together and chanted a Buddha's name with compassion on their faces.
"Fu Qingzhou!"
Ning Wushu lowered his voice and said angrily to Fu Qingzhou: "Even if you guessed right... But what if you guessed wrong just now!"
Fu Qingzhou laughed. Laughing, he stretched out his other hand, opened his palm, and placed a few coins on his palm.
"Sister Wu Shu, remember, you must be more careful when lurking."
He said: "Even if you want to take action, you should not show up... you can leave with one strike, don't Leave traces, otherwise, wouldn’t we have been exposed by now?”
Ning Wushu looked at him steadily, and after a long while he sighed: "You are right."
On the other side, the monk smiled and said softly: "Namo Baie Nan Buddha... Everyone Donor, don't despise yourself, don't hurt others, the poor monk... will relieve your pain."
As he spoke, the boat on the river also docked.
On the boat, a group of bald monks were vaguely visible. One of them was hidden behind the monks. He was covered in white Buddhist robes, and the outline of his face was blurred in the light.
Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes: "Ha, you're lucky."
"Is that Li Qing?" Ning Wushu asked in a low voice.
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "It is unlikely that Huijue would let anyone else wear that Buddhist robe - it would probably be him."
At this moment, Liang Guangchang stood up.
"I'm going to take a look."
He said in a deep voice: "Aren't you going to investigate how they treat lithiasis? Without me, you might not be able to figure it out... …Come with me.”
