Chapter 62 [Double Update] Solve the Mouse and Meet Yu Bingyan Again
Qin Yuqing looked at the countless tabby cats on the ground, and her eyes lit up.
This! This! This is so cute!
Qin Yuqing stretched out her fingers to let the cat get familiar with her scent first. After making sure that the cat was not afraid of her, she picked up the cat and petted it skillfully.
"When were these raised?" Such a group of cats definitely cannot be raised freely.
Before Park Qingyu reached out her hand, the cat skillfully jumped onto her legs and meowed several times in a hoarse voice.
"This is what Lord Shen and I raised together." Perhaps there was hope that the plague would be resolved, so Park Qingyu recalled the past and told the story of her and Lord Shen.
"I managed to escape death by hiding among corpses. Lord Shen took me away from a mass grave and hid me in Ling County. It wasn't until the capital gradually forgot about the Park family that I reappeared in the public's view."
"When the Park family was wiped out, except for my brother who was taken to the back mountain by the fourth princess and escaped, everyone else could not escape death." Park Qingyu said softly. For her, it was a painful past.
"Speaking of which, brother, you should thank the Fourth Princess for saving your life."
Park Qinghe clenched his fingers tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and it was unclear whether he was talking to Park Qingyu or himself.
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to see my father, mother, and everyone else for the last time. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been living in exile, hiding from place to place."
"But, it's precisely because of the Fourth Princess that you can see your sister, isn't it?"
Park Qingyu's light words made Park Qinghe stunned on the spot. The emotion in his eyes was replaced by confusion. He was like a stubborn child. It was the first time someone pulled him out of the pit, but the world outside the pit was too big and he could not accept such a big world.
"Brother, you should go and have a good rest." Park Qingyu sighed. After all, she still felt sorry for her brother. Seeing her brother being taken away by the soldiers, she turned to Qin Yuqing and said with a smile.
"My brother has a naturally unruly and unbridled personality. When I heard that he had been secretly contacting the Park family over the years and trying to reunite them, I was surprised. It didn't seem like something he would do."
"Perhaps, I am not a qualified sister. I don't even understand my own brother." Park Qingyu lowered her head, her fingers tightly clenched in her sleeves, and said dejectedly.
"It's not that you don't understand, it's that you don't want to believe your brother." Qin Yuqing had a gentle smile in her fox eyes. She understood that some things could not be solved with just a few words, and some knots in the heart could not be untied all at once.
"You might as well try to trust your brother." Qin Yuqing recalled the scar on Pu Qinghe's face and continued, "Maybe he will get over it soon."
Qin Yuqing looked at the cat on the ground: "But having a cat is not enough. We can only try our best to deal with things like mice. Then we still have the most important problem of flooding to solve."
"I have already told the soldiers that they have started catching rats on a large scale." Park Qingyu suddenly remembered something and took out a bag of white powder from her arms and said.
"This is the powder that Lord Shen researched. It's highly toxic to mice, but it poses no fatal risk to cats and other animals."
Qin Yuqing looked at the medicine curiously. It was a new and rare thing. She could see that Park Qingyu really loved cats and would not joke with their lives.
"Okay, let's take action immediately." Qin Yuqing stood up and looked at the cloudless sky. She had a very bad premonition.
This moment is like the calm before the storm.
This time, not only the soldiers, but even the people in the city spontaneously caught rats, sprinkled the powder in their homes, and collected all the dead rats.
"Take them out of the city, they can only be burned." Qin Yuqing looked at the rats that were obviously out of place in size. These rats were much larger than ordinary rats, as big as a face.
In particular, their eyeballs were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood. Some civilians and soldiers were unfortunately bitten on the arms by rats while catching them, and a large piece of flesh was torn off.
"There's no need to capture mice alive; your own safety is your first priority."
Qin Yuqing frowned. She had thought that Lingjun and Cangzhou would not be affected by Yu Bingyan's influence. Now it seemed that she had underestimated Yu Bingyan.
Yes, what solution is more direct and deadly than infectious diseases?
He killed the enemy thousands of miles away without making any noise. If it weren't for the restrictions of heaven, Qin Yuqing was sure that with Yu Bingyan's cold-bloodedness, he would directly send a virus beyond the knowledge of this world.
Regardless of whether they were people, animals, or plants in this world, they were all killed indiscriminately.
Two days later, countless rats were trapped in the dry riverbed not far from Ling County.
All the visible rats in the city have been caught, and the invisible rats are almost gone under the attack of the cat army.
Many soldiers began to deal with the silted river channels and took medicine regularly to prevent new infectious diseases from breaking out.
For those who are ill, those with mild symptoms will see the effect the next day after drinking the medicine. Those in the middle stage of the disease will be in much better spirits than before.
On the day the prescription took effect, it was also brought to the new head of Cangzhou. Qin Yuqing received a reply, and the people in Cangzhou also showed signs of improvement in their health. He was very grateful to Qin Yuqing for the medicine and food he sent.
Unfortunately, many people with the most serious symptoms still died even with medication.
"Reporting to the Princess and Mr. Yu." A soldier's eyes were red. He was the soldier guarding the yard with the most serious illnesses. At this moment, his face was covered with tears and he spoke in a sad voice.
"Everyone in Compound No. 3 refuses all medicine and food, they said."
"We know our time is running out and our hope is slim, so we should give these medicines and food to those who need them more. We have lived this long and received the care of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Yu. We can die without regrets."
At that moment, in the silent night, Park Qingyu could no longer hold back her tears, and she burst into tears like a dam bursting. Park Qinghe hugged her and she burst into tears in her brother's arms.
"set fire."
Qin Yuqing gave an order and flames shot up into the sky. Hearing the screams of rats, her bad premonition became even stronger.
At this moment, a voice that made her hate it so much appeared in her mind.
"My little A'ruan is really cool. He came up with a solution in just a few days. Is this the future? It's really amazing."
Qin Yuqing looked at the excited expressions of the Pu brothers and sisters, the soldiers and the people. She lowered her head, restrained her emotions and asked in a cold voice in her heart.
"Yu Bingyan, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do? Of course, it should be something that benefits me." Yu Bingyan was as crazy as ever. "Little Ruan, I still feel sorry for you. So I'll give you another chance?"
Qin Yuqing didn't say anything. She didn't believe a single word Yu Bingyan said.
"Don't be so cold. It's just that your limbs were frozen off last time, but you see, they grew back in the end."
"What do you want to say?"
"Little Ruan, you're really difficult to deal with, and I don't want to hurt you, so if you just give up Cangzhou and Lingjun now, I'll help you complete the system mission, okay?"
Qin Yuqing's lips curled slightly, and the murderous intent in his fox eyes could not be hidden: "That's really exciting to hear." Then he changed the subject, "However, I will never cooperate with you, so forget it!"
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for it." Yu Bingyan's voice rose with anger, and then as if he had thought of something fun, he returned to his crazy tone again.
"If that's the case, I wonder if there's another flood. Do you think Cangzhou and Lingjun can withstand it?"
"Yu Bingyan!"
"Ah, my little Ruan, even if you call my name in anger, I still find it very sweet," said the madman Yu Bingyan with a smile. "In three days the rainstorm will come. Do you think Lingjun and Cangzhou can be saved?"
"You!" Qin Yuqing raised her head suddenly and grabbed Pu Qingyu's hand. "It's too late."
Park Qingyu didn't react, but Chuntao, Xiaolu and Park Qinghe, who had experienced the experience in the snow mountain, reacted immediately.
"Yu Bingyan is here again!" three people said at the same time, looking around vigilantly. Everyone took out his weapon, showing murderous intent.
"He's not here." Qin Yuqing kept adjusting his breathing and said quickly to Pu Qingyu, "I'll explain some things to you after it's over. There will be heavy rain in three days, there will definitely be."
Park Qingyu looked at the sky. It didn't look like there was going to be a rainstorm, but looking at the reactions of Qin Yuqing and her group and her brother, it didn't seem like they were faking it. Alarm bells started ringing in her heart. Thinking back to the strange rats in the city, an inexplicable guess arose in her heart.
"Follow me." Pu Qingyu jumped on his horse and said quickly, "Mr. Shen has speculated why Ling County and Cangzhou have only experienced floods in recent years. He suspects it is man-made. Please follow me."
"Xiaolu and Chuntao stay here. The rats must be burned to ashes." Qin Yudan mounted his horse handsomely and said to Pu Qinghe beside him, "Pu Qinghe, come with me."
"You only know how to order me around." Although he said that, the moment Qin Yuqing opened his mouth, Pu Qinghe had already mounted his horse and said, "Let's go."
The group quickly came to a high mountain where there was a simple little house. Standing here, they could see the entire Ling County and Cangzhou, as well as the two rivers, the Chan River and the Luo River, which gave birth to all the life here.
Standing on a high place, Qin Yuqing understood at a glance why Lingjun and Cangzhou had suffered serious floods.
The sources of the Chan River and the Luo River are both in the high mountains. From the high mountains as the source, they split into two paths and flow to the lower places, forming an arc shape that surrounds Cangzhou and Lingjun. Except for the middle position, the rest of the place is covered with dense jungle.
There are many tributaries on the main channels of these two rivers. Qin Yuqing recalled that when he passed through the forest on his way to Yanyun City, there were some places that were obviously rivers, but there was no water in them. It seemed that they had dried up for a long time.
But how could a river dry up in a place with year-round rainfall and two large rivers, unless someone maliciously blocked the river or diverted it?
Qin Yuqing noticed that at the top of Ling County, there seemed to be something similar to a reservoir, where the Chan River and Luo River separated.
So she pointed her finger at that place and asked, "Where is this?"
"This is a reservoir built by Mr. Shen. However, before it was completed, Mr. Shen was swallowed by a sudden flood, and it has been abandoned here." Park Qingyu explained.
A reservoir? Qin Yuqing looked at the building on a higher level. Although it was not yet completed, he could see that a large amount of water had been successfully intercepted on one side.
Is this what modern dams and reservoirs are?
This Mr. Shen is really a talent.
