Chapter 103 -- Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
Chapter 103 - Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
Everything was arranged. Duan Qingming rubbed her eyebrows a little tiredly, and then picked up the scroll at hand - from now on, she will be full of spirit to deal with everything next!
Because if this plague is really man-made, then Liu Rong's people are afraid that they will come out next!
Is there a plague in Zhuangzi?
The servants and farmers in the village were killed as soon as they heard that someone in the village was infected with the plague and died. At present, everyone was extremely panicked. Finally, Ning and Tiefeng comforted everyone. Then, according to the method mentioned by Duan Qingming, start to investigate these people one by one!
When Mage Ning returned to the yard, it was already dark!
Seeing Mage Ning's tired face, Duan Qingming said sadly:
"M Mother, please take a break first!"
M Mother Ning took the tea brought by Xia Caoer and drank it all. Then she calmed down and said:
"Miss, the old slave brought us out with Tiefeng today, as well as the girls who helped in this village. They all checked and found no doubts. Instead, they found this in Ding'er's room!"
In her hand, M Mother Ning holds a beautifully embroidered sachet.
Ning said:
"According to Ding'er, this sachet was embroidered for her by her mother, but her mother is not an embroider, so how can she have such a good craftsmanship? Therefore, I suspect that this is what Aunt Liu gave to Ding'er!"
Duan Qingming took the sachet and looked at it carefully. She only smelled a faint fragrance of medicine, which was very comfortable and refreshing. However, she looked over and over for a long time, but found no clue. She handed the sachet to Mother Ning and said:
"You can take this to Dr. Zhou to see if there are any clues!"
Mage Ning answered, and then put it away again!
And on the other side, Tiefeng also drank three bowls of tea in one breath, and then took a breath and said to Duan Qingming:
"Miss, all the guards brought by my subordinates have been sent to Dr. Zhou to ask about their pulse, and no one has found any discomfort for the time being!"
Duan Qingming nodded:
"That said, you'd better be careful. I always feel that this plague is too strange. Moreover, this momentum is so fierce that it can't be said that something will happen tomorrow!"
When Tiefeng heard it, he was shocked:
"Is the young lady suspecting that someone has secretly tamped?"
Duan Qingming said without saying anything:
"It's too early to say this. In a word, you should be more careful about the meals of the guards these days, so as not to be fished in troubled waters! And the safety in this yard, I'll take good work on you!"
When Tiefeng heard this, he immediately said:
"Please rest assured, Miss, Tiefeng must be very careful!"
After saying that, he retreated!
Duan Qingming asked Mian Ning about today's investigation again. Seeing that it was not early, she asked Mian Ning to go back to rest!
Seeing Mama Ning leave, Duan Qingming still sat there in a daze. What appeared in front of her was the fire in her previous life - and now, the plague has made people panic. It can't be said that there will be a tragedy in her previous life soon. However, now she has no clue, where can she find a way to save her?
The late autumn wind blew through Duan Qingming's eyes, and the lights flashed and shook all over the room. Duan Qingming looked at the bright and dark firelight and finally sighed slightly:
"Summer grass, let's take a break earlier!"
Duan Qingming has a hunch that this so-called plague has not ended, but now it is just the beginning!
***
Early the next morning, Duan Qingming finished his breakfast, and Xu Bo, the stewman in Zhuangzi, came again.
Duan Qingming's eyes became darker and darker. After a long time, she said lightly:
"Let him in!"
Is this Xu Bo on the stage again? Duan Qingming wants to see what he will say this time!
Xu Bo hurried to the front hall. As soon as he saw Duan Qingming's "plop" sound, he knelt down!
This time, he was no longer calm yesterday. Not only was his face pale, but his eyes were also a little cloudy because of excessive tension, and even his voice was trembling:
"Miss, last night...last night..."
Seeing Xu Bo's panicked appearance, Duan Qingming looked as usual, but Mamma Ning had frowned and scolded him severely:
"What kind of style is it to see the master and be in a panic? What's the matter? The young lady is all here. Just say it slowly!"
Xu Bo listened to Mami Ning's reprimand and swallowed his saliva hard. Then he said with a pale face and said sly:
"Last night, another one died!"
When Duan Qingming heard this, his expression immediately became a little flustered:
"Ah...what's the matter? Is it dead again?"
Duan Qingming seems to be nervous. She held the handkerchief in her hands and kept twisting it in her sleeve. A face without any powder also shows fear and disgust commensurate with age:
"Thust you, who else is dead?"
Xu Bo had calmed down at this time. He looked at Duan Qingming's extremely flustered face and drew a trace of contempt in his heart - this was just the beginning. In this way, are you afraid? Next, the wonderful is yet to come!
Xu Bo looked at Duan Qingming and said cautiously:
"Old Li at the east of the village, as well as Widow Li and Xie Xiaoer in the village, were all found to be infected. Now, Dr. Zhou is diagnosing and treating!"
If you continue, you will know it with your toes - these people, in the same way, have all been helped in Zhuangzi. One of them fell ill last night and died overnight! The other two are on the verge of death!
Duan Qingming's eyes showed a dazed light. She seemed to have suffered some blow and muttered:
"Dead...how come? It's only been one night!"
Looking at Duan Qingming's expression, she looks like a little girl who is ignorant of the world and has never experienced life and death! Looking at her like this, the death of these people really hit her a lot!
Xu Bo sneered in his heart, and then he restrained himself and seemed to say with some embarrassment:
"Now, there are rumors outside the village that the plague was brought by the young lady. He also said... and said..."
Xu Bo never dared to say the following words, but Duan Qingming has understood what Xu Bo means. The people outside Zhuangzi are nothing more than saying that they brought this plague and want to seal this Zhuangzi!
As long as this village is sealed, then there is only one way to die!
Duan Qingming seemed to be stunned, with a small palm-like face without a trace of blood color. She looked at Xu Bo, and the shrinkage in her eyes was faintly visible:
"Xu Bo, I want to ask, is there anything wrong with the people in charge?"
Xu Bo shook his head:
"Six of the stewids have been diagnosed, and there are no signs of infection!"
If it is really like a plague, someone must have secretly moved their hands and feet. Looking at this, these people have not moved to the heads of those shopkeepers?
Duan Qingming nodded, thought about it again, and said with a lingering heart:
"These keepers and shopkeepers have worked hard for my family for decades. My father also said that I must not neglect them. Now, when I hear that they are fine, I am relieved!"
After listening to Duan Qingming's words, Xu Bo's expression suddenly stagnated - is this pretentious young lady still caring about others? Unexpectedly, the time of her death is coming?
Xu Bo's eyes just met the simple and timid Duan Qingming's face. He quickly moved away and said:
"What Miss said!"
Duan Qingming looked at Xu Bo, with worried eyes, as if sighing slightly:
"These days, they walk so diligently in this village. You have to ask Dr. Zhou to give them a good pulse. Only when they are completely fine can I really rest assured!"
What Xu Bo wants to say is to seal Zhuangzi - after all, Duan Qingming is the master, and this disease was brought by her people. This letter of Zhuangzi, life and death are all up to Xu Bo and others. But now, Duan Qingming talked about the topic, which made Xu Bo a little impatient. He shook his head:
"Miss, don't worry. These stewards have been diagnosed three times as early as yesterday and today, and Dr. Zhou said they were fine!"
Under Duan Qingming's eyes, there was a cold smile - OK, as long as those custodians are fine!
