Chapter 024 Catastrophe
"Hey, don't move towards me little by little!" Min Xiaoxin opened her eyes, looked at the teenager who was slowly moving towards her little by little, stretched out her right hand and cursed angrily.
"Are you still angry?" Lu Lian looked at the angry girl with an embarrassed face, "But I have apologized..."
"It's really interesting. I'll slap you in the face and tell you I'm sorry. Do you think it's okay?" Min Xiaoxin scolded angrily.
"Why not..." Lu Lian gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "... You can also pull out a dragon scale from me!"
"Good!! That's what you said!! Don't regret it!!" Min Xiaoxin immediately stood up, rolled up her sleeves and strode towards Lu Lian.
"If you dare to move, I'll make you look good!" Min Xiaoxin went to the side of her face and sat down, and her right hand suddenly reached into the clothes that showed her neck.
Lu Lian seemed to have some enlightenment. She closed her eyes tightly, with a little grievance and a little helplessness, allowing Min Xiaoxin's right hand to act recklessly in his clothes.
However, Min Xiaoxin actually saw that Lu Lian's cheeks were quietly stained with a faint layer of crimson. She couldn't help but be stunned. Only then did she realize how ambiguous the behavior of the two at this moment was.
At this moment, there was a sudden "every" sound from the dense forest in front of me, mixed with heavy gasps and painful humming.
Min Xiaoxin was shocked and immediately let go of her hand and hid behind Lu Lian. Her right hand pointed to the direction of the sound in panic. She lowered her voice and whispered, "There are... people on the side."
Lu Lian turned her head, raised her index finger, and made a silent gesture to Min Xiaoxin.
And the gasp gradually approached, and finally, a cluster of weeds not far in front of them began to shake violently.
"Save...life..." The weak call for help suddenly came from the violently shaking grass. Min Xiaoxin and Lu Lian couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other.
"I'll go and have a look. Stay here and don't move." Lu Lian opened his mouth and said, holding the iron fan in his hand tightly in his hand, and walked towards the grass in front of him.
Just as he was approaching the grass, his hand, which had been covered with transparent sores, suddenly stretched out from the grass - ticking the yellow, sticky pus and grasping his right foot tightly.
Lu Lian's face changed slightly, but she did not escape. Instead, she squatted down and gently pulled out the man who was crawling in the grass - it was an old woman, an old woman with scars all over her body.
"Jiu'er, come here, there is an old woman here." Lu Lian gently waved her hand to Min Xiaoxin in the distance. Min Xiaoxin walked over. However, when she saw the man lying in front of Lu Lian, she couldn't help screaming.
"Ah!!" She screamed in horror and retreated three steps in horror. She pointed to the man to the right and said, "It's terrible!! It scares me to death!!"
Lu Lian stretched out her hand, probed under the old woman's nose, and stretched out her hand to the sores on her face. At the moment she touched the transparent sores, the sores burst in an instant, and yellow sticky pus flowed out.
"It seems that there is a plague." Lu Lian's face was solemn. He gently held the weak old woman in his arms and turned to Min Xiaoxin with a frightened face and said, "Use your grass sachet to help her cure her, otherwise she won't last for a few days."
"Oh..." Min Xiaoxin had a lingering lingering heart. However, when she saw a calm face, she also felt that she had a little lost her temper. She quickly took out the Baicao sachet from the Qiankun bag and walked to the open space in front of Lu Lian and sat cross her knees.
"Don't discriminate against others. She just has the plague." Lu Lian frowned slightly and said with a straight face.
"I... I don't discriminate against her!" Min Xiaoxin quibbled, "I was just suddenly scared and couldn't react for a moment!"
Lu Lian held the weak old woman in her arms and sat in front of Min Xiaoxin. Min Xiaoxin began to drive the dragon. She took out a red grass leaf from the herb sac and handed it to the old woman's mouth. The old woman opened her mouth and ate the herbal leaves. In a short time, she only heard dozens of "bo!" When the sound sounded, the sores on her face began to burst one by one, and yellow sticky pus flowed out. After the pus flowed, the wound began to gradually recover and returned to normal skin.
And the old woman's face gradually had some blood color. However, for Min Xiaoxin, it was extremely hard to use the power of the dragon to drive the Baicao incense bag. By the time the old woman fully recovered, she was already so tired that she was about to collapse.
"Wow! Tired to death! I can't drive the Baicao sachet for at least four days!" Min Xiaoxin opened her eyes, put the Baicao sachet back into the Qiankun bag, stared at Lu Lian and said, "If you don't go and get me a pheasant or something to eat, I'm exhausted!"
"Okay, have a good rest for a while." Lu Lian took the old woman who was still unconscious to a big stone, and helped Min Xiaoxin to lie down next to the old woman's body. At this time, several hours had passed, and the sky gradually faded. Lu Lian cast a spell to make a fire not far from them, and then walked alone to the depths of the dense forest.
After a while, Lu Lian came back with a pheasant, went to the stream beside him, removed the hair and internal organs, and then put the pheasant on the fire and roasted it.
The firewood kept licking the fat pheasant, making a "sizzling" sound, and constantly dripping down the fat, emitting an attractive fragrance.
After a while, the fragrant and attractive pheasant turned burnt yellow. Lu Lian took the pheasant off the fire, tore off a large piece of chicken leg meat, and handed it to Min Xiaoxin. "Please let us save the injured Dr. Longjiu and enjoy it slowly."
"It's well deserved!" Min Xiaoxin reached out to take the chicken leg meat and began to eat it.
At this time, the old woman lying beside her seemed to smell the seductive aroma of wild chicken and struggled to wake up.
Lu Lian tore off another piece of pheasant leg meat and handed it to the old woman. The old woman seemed to be a little surprised. She reached out to take the pheasant leg meat and looked at the two people and said, "You two...?"
"You are infected with the plague, but we have cured it for you." Min Xiaoxin said while nibbling at the pheasant leg meat.
The old woman was shocked. She stretched out her left hand and scratched her face. She looked down at her wrists and arms. She felt that the wounds had disappeared. Suddenly, she knelt down to Min Xiaoxin. "Thank you for saving the help of the two magic doctors. The old woman can't repay it."
"You're welcome. May I ask the old woman's last name? Where did it come from? Why did you catch the plague?" Lu Lian asked.
"My surname is Du. I live in a small town not far ahead. My husband's family died early, leaving only one son." The old woman opened her mouth with a faint sadness in her eyes. "About half a year ago, people in the town suddenly began to be infected with the plague one after another. This plague infected quickly. As long as they have contact with people infected with the plague, they will be infected immediately, but in just a few months, thousands of people have died one after another."
"In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the mayor isolated all the people infected with the plague to a broken temple next to the town. When all the people infected with the plague in the temple died, he ordered people to transport the bodies to the edge of the forest and burn them clean with a fire." Aunt Du said.
"So, Aunt Du, how many people are there in your town?" He asked with his face open.
"There were originally more than 20,000 people in this town, but thousands of people were infected in just half a year because of the plague." Aunt Du replied.
"Du Kang was also infected with the plague not long ago. Because I was afraid of being dragged to quarantine, I secretly hid Du Kang at home, hoping to find a way to save him." Aunt Du continued.
"Dr. Sima in the town has been trying his best to study the prescription to cure the plague. About a few days ago, he finally found a way to treat the plague, so I went to get some herbs from him to treat the plague and secretly took it home to Du Kang to drink, but the mayor found out that I hid Du Kang at home." As the old woman spoke, she began to cry.
"Du Kang was arrested and quarantined by the mayor, and I gradually began to find that I was also suffering from the plague. Because I was too afraid, I was afraid that I would be arrested and quarantined after being discovered by the mayor. In a panic, I hurriedly escaped from the town and came to this forest." The old woman stretched out her hand to wipe her tears and choked.
"Du Kang is still locked in the broken temple next to the town and isolated from many people infected with the plague, and asked two magic doctors to help him." The old woman said and knelt down.
"Dad Du, you don't have to do this. We will definitely help." Lu Lian stretched out her hand to help Aunt Du up,
" Lu Lian, don't you think this matter is too strange?" Min Xiaoxin looked at Lu Lian and said.
"Indeed, all the sudden appearance of natural and man-made disasters, plague cholera, etc. in a certain place is because the local people have violated the majesty of the heavenly court, and the emperor of heaven is furious, so it is God's punishment to send a plague here." Lu Lian's face was solemn and he said in a low voice, "But in recent years, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. There is neither war nor reaction. Why did the Emperor of Heaven bring down the plague here?"
"And it can't last for half a year..." Lu Lian said.
"Unless there is a demon!!" Min Xiaoxin answered.
"No... it's impossible..." Lu Lian shook her head and said, "It's such a cholera world! Everyone is angry! I will be punished by God!"
"Sprinkle the plague, cholera in the world, and kill so many innocent lives. This is really too harmful to the virtue. It will definitely attract the anger of the Emperor of Heaven. At that time, he will be punished by God, and his soul will be scattered, and he will never be born..." He looked pitiful and said, "No one will be so stupid..."
"Maybe it's really infected with some unknown disease. Let's go to the town first." Min Xiaoxin said.
"Two magic doctors came to save them, and the town was finally saved." The old woman said.
"Let's take a night off first. We'll go tomorrow morning." Lu Lian said, got up and walked to the other side of the big stone, lay down on his side, and soon fell asleep.
Min Xiaoxin finished eating the pheasant leg, clapped her hands, and lay down on her side and fell asleep.
