Chapter 9 Life

There are all kinds of medicine, and there are hundreds of poisons.

Most of the toxicity will weaken with diffusion, while some very few poisons can maintain their toxicity while spreading in a special self-produous way.

The poison that causes this plague is a terrible epidemic that can be born through human blood.

Xiao Yu knew that it was very unlikely that Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun would immediately think of a detoxification method. However, after listening to Tang Qingyun's explanation, he couldn't help asking, "How to solve this poison?"

"Although the Tang family claims to be proficient in all poisons in the world, they have not studied this kind of poison that can cause plague. For a while, it is difficult for us to come up with a way to detoxify."

Xiao Yu nodded, swept around the faces of the soldiers who looked disappointed, and said in a low voice, "Please also ask Elder Tang and Miss Tang to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible. If you need anything, I will help you find it as soon as possible."

"General, don't worry, we will try to find the method of detoxification in the shortest time."

"It's your help!"

Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave the barracks and go to the west gate to have a look, one of them ran into the barracks with a panicked face.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yu and Liu Qingshan, he knelt down and said, "General, those people are burning corpses."

"Burn to death?"

Perhaps the actions of those people attacking the city gate left a very bad impression on Xiao Yu. Hearing that those people were burning to death, he subconsciously felt that this was not a good thing.

When thinking about it, Xiao Yu asked Tang Yuansong, "Mr. Tang, will the burning of the corpses infected with the plague spread the plague?"

"Generally speaking, burning the bodies of those who died of the plague is the easiest way to solve the plague. However, the bodies of those who died of a special plague cannot be burned. As for whether this plague will spread by burning corpses, we are not sure yet.

Xiao Yu nodded to Tang Yuansong, looked at Tang Qingyun, who was frowning and meditating, and took Liu Qingshan out of the barracks.

Before he reached the west gate, an unpleasant smell came from the tip of Xiao Yu's mouth.

He frowned slightly, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Walking to the gate building and looking down, Xiao Yu frowned more tightly.

At this time, among the more than 30,000 people outside the city, nearly half of them sat on the ground with dull faces, and nearly half of them showed madness on their faces.

Among these crazy people, there are poor people in thick clothes, squires who are well-dressed, fierce people with a horizontal face, and scholarly scholar.

No matter who these people were before, no matter what they had in their minds before, in the case of not knowing whether they will live or die tomorrow, the performance of these people is almost exactly the same.

Those who burned the corpses burned the corpses while showing all kinds of strange smiles at the wall, which looked particularly penetrating.

"It is said that in ancient times, human beings also lived a life of drinking blood like beasts, but at that time, the savages should not be as terrible as the people below."

Xiao Yu sighed, moved and jumped downstairs of the city gate.

Seeing someone jumping down from the gate, the people who were originally around the gate couldn't help retreating a little.

Subconsciously, these people have a kind of fear for people like Xiao Yu, who obviously has amazing strength. However, this fear cannot deter these people, otherwise, these people would not have made crazy actions to attack the city before.

Liu Qingshan didn't want to contact those who were infected with the plague, but now that Xiao Yu has jumped out of the city, he has to jump from the gate.

With Liu Qingshan, Xiao Yu went straight to a middle-aged man who was nearly 40 years old.

Among these more than 30,000 people, there are very few who behave normally, and the middle-aged man in front of Xiao Yu is the most calm person among these people.

"I don't know the name of this gentleman?"

"The small surname is Fang, and the single name is a positive character."

Although the middle-aged man named Founder was calm when he returned to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Yu still saw a trace of tension on his face.

"Fang Zheng? Good name!"

Xiao Yu replied with a faint smile, glanced around the faces of the people who were looking at him, and turned around and asked, "When did this plague occur?" Are these people from the same place?

"I don't know when this plague will begin. Seven days ago in the morning, the defenders of Liancheng suddenly began to drive the people in the city out of the city. After being expelled from Liancheng, the people of Liancheng found themselves infected with the plague. Under the expulsion of the Liancheng garrison, these people could only go all the way to the east. Among the more than 30,000 people, less than 10,000 are from Liancheng, and the rest are from two towns and more than a dozen villages east of Liancheng.

Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked, "People infected with the plague usually get sick in a few days?" How many people died on your way?

"This plague is extremely strange. People with strong constitution get sick much more than people with weak constitution. A strong young man will get sick after half a day and die two or three days later. Nearly 50,000 people were driven out by the garrison of Liancheng, but now there are less than 10,000 people in Liancheng.

Even if he was fine now, Fang couldn't help shivering when he said this.

"The plague will spread faster after the corpse is burned!"

Fang Zheng nodded awkwardly and sighed, "At the beginning, they burned corpses to prevent the spread of the plague; but now, they burn corpses to make the plague spread faster."

"If they are allowed to make trouble like this, even if they find a way to relieve the plague, they may not be able to save all the people infected with the plague."

"They also know that it's not good for them to do so, but at this moment of life and death, there is almost no one who can think of others."

Xiao Yu nodded and looked at Fang Zheng and said, "Do you have a way to make these people calm?"

"If the general is willing to give a promise, the little one can have a try."

"Promise? What promise?"

"The promise that this plague can definitely be resolved!"

The more committed people are, the less likely they will make promises. Xiao Yu doesn't know whether Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun can think of a way to solve the plague. Naturally, they don't want to make any promises easily.

Seeing Xiao Yu frowning and hesitating, Fang Zheng said in a low voice, "General, at this time, a promise is enough to give these people the confidence to survive."

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.

Seeing that Xiao Yu promised a promise, Fang was overjoyed and straightened his body.

When Xiao Yu came to Fang Zheng, many people had been paying attention to Xiao Yu and Fang Zheng. At this time, when they saw Fang Zheng straightening up, the originally dim eyes of these people were bright.

Fang was looking around his people, coughed hard, and said in a low voice, "The general has found a solution to the plague. He is sending people around to search for medicinal materials. Please don't burn those corpses again. The more people infected with the plague, the more time the general will need to find medicinal herbs, and the more time we will have to wait. Whether it's for ourselves or for our family, we should stop the plague from spreading.

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the madness on the faces of many people disappeared, while the madness on the faces of some people was even stronger.

"Is it so easy to find a way to resolve the plague? He must have lied to us to wait here to die!"

"Yes! It's a lie!"

"Unless we talk about the solution to the plague now, we will never believe it."

"Burning! When more people are infected with the plague, he will tell the solution to the plague.

"With the plague, everyone will die together. Don't let us accept our fate."

Seeing that Xiao Yu's face became more and more gloomy, Fang Zheng shouted with all his strength, "Don't you think about yourself, don't you think about your family? Now whoever deliberately spreads the plague is robbing everyone's medicine.

Founder's words did not stabilize the people who became crazier, but some of the people who were more sober because of their families restrained the increasingly crazy people for Xiao Yu.

After a brief chaos, the bodies that were being burned and those that had not yet been burned were buried.

Without those crazy people, these people are much more stable.

Xiao Yu knows that if they can't find a solution to the plague as soon as possible, when these people fall crazy again, a single promise may not make them settle down again.

When Xiao Yu returned to the wall, the people with a dull face were still dull, while most of the people who were crazy before were full of hope.

There is nothing wrong with a strong desire to survive, but it is difficult for crazy people to have a good impression because of their strong desire to survive.

At this moment, if Xiao Yu finds a solution to the plague, the first thing he will save will not be those who are eager to survive, but those who accept their fate.

He frowned and stared at the people under the city for a moment. Xiao Yu told Liu Qingshan, "Qingshan, you send someone to make some porridge soup for these people."

"Yes!"

After Liu Qingshan was ordered to leave, Xiao Yu stood on the gate and waited for the news of Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun.

With the passage of time, some of the soldiers on the city walls were infected with the plague, and some of the people under the city also died of the plague.

Hearing the crying from the city and looking at the nervous expression of the soldiers around her, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel powerless.

"Who on earth is so crazy to trigger this plague? Is it the remnants of Fu Mingshan? Or is it the cultivation of Yinshan Fudi hidden in the remnants of the mountain? There are so many legends of immortals saving the world in history. Now is the time when these people need help, and where are those immortals?

Before Tang Yuansong and Tang Qingyun had found a solution to the plague, Xia Yu's changing crow fell to the roof of the city gate.
