Chapter 76: Burning the Medicine Man
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Youzhou City.
The city gate is a tall and thick stone wall with an iron gate.
There is no city wall as shown in the TV series.
"My lord, the bolt of this city gate seems to be outside."
Qiao Qiqi tried to open the city gate, but found it didn't move at all.
Through the crack in the iron door, she saw a heavy iron bolt across the iron door.
"Well, you stay with Shaoan, I'll go out and open the door."
Pei Shaoling took a step back, estimated the height of the city wall, and said to Qiao Qiqi.
"Okay, then be careful."
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly.
At this time, the medicine men may have smelled the breath of a stranger and began to surround them.
"Well, my lady, try to resist. I'll open the door right away."
Seeing this, Pei Shaoling did not dare to delay and jumped onto the city wall.
Qiao Qiqi glanced at the medicine men who were getting closer and closer to her and Pei Shaoan.
She took a deep breath, took out two buckets of salad oil from the space and poured them at the medicine men.
Then he lit a lighter and threw it at the medicine men.
Soon, those medicine men turned into fire men, roaring like wild beasts.
Qiao Qiqi bit her lip and muttered to herself, "Sorry!"
These drugged people have lost their minds, and without an antidote, they have become walking corpses.
Perhaps this is the best ending for them.
At this moment, there was a crackling sound behind me and the iron door was opened.
After Pei Shaoling opened the door, he saw the medicine men struggling in the fire.
"Madam, can you still make kerosene?"
Looking at the medicine men being burned by the fire, Pei Shaoling asked softly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Qiao Qiqi took out another bucket of salad oil from the space, "This is the cooking oil we use for cooking in our world."
"good."
Pei Shaoling took the salad oil and tried to open the red lid.
"Without an antidote, these drug addicts have become the walking dead. If we don't deal with them, they could be exploited by those who created them, potentially causing disaster. So we have to deal with them now."
Pei Shaoling looked at the medicine men who were gathering again in the distance and said, "I was still thinking about how to solve this problem before, luckily you reminded me."
Qiao Qiqi understood instantly, "You're planning to burn these medicine men, right?"
"Mm, that's good. Madam, how much of this oil can you make? Can you take some out?"
Pei Shaoling said softly.
"good."
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly and took out hundreds of barrels of salad oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, tea oil, etc. from the space and placed them on the ground.
Pei Shaoling looked at the many barrels of oil on the ground with slight surprise.
He smiled and said, "These are enough. Could you please help me open the lids?"
"OK."
Qiao Qiqi agreed readily, squatted on the ground and started twisting the cap of the oil barrel.
Pei Shaoling, carrying several buckets of cooking oil in his hands, rushed towards the medicine men at lightning speed.
While twisting the bottle cap, Qiao Qiqi watched Pei Shaoling lead the medicine men to a pile and pour cooking oil on them.
Then the tinderbox was lit.
With a bang, those medicine men turned into fire men!
Then he came back and continued walking towards the city carrying the opened bottles of cooking oil.
Repeat this process several times.
Qiao Qiqi saw flames everywhere in Youzhou City, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat.
But the smell of burnt meat was mixed with a strong stench.
Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but put on her cloth mask again and continued to twist the remaining bottle caps.
Soon, all the hundreds of barrels of cooking oil she took out were used up by Pei Shaoling.
Pei Shaoling seemed to have dealt with all the medicine men.
Seeing the slight sweat on his temples, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but step forward to help him wipe it.
"Thank you, my lady."
Pei Shaoling enjoyed the warmth of the moment and spoke softly.
Qiao Qiqi gave him a faint smile. "How's Youzhou City doing now? It won't be affected by these flames, right?"
"Fortunately, it only affected a few households and I have already dealt with it."
Pei Shaoling said softly, tidying up Qiao Qiqi's messy hair.
"Let's go to the ruined temple!"
"good!"
Qiao Qiqi glanced at the piles of medicine men who had turned into charcoal on the ground at the city gate and nodded slightly.
Pei Shaoling put Pei Shaoan, who was half-sitting on the edge of the city wall, back on his back and walked out of Youzhou City with Qiao Qiqi.
At this time, Qiao Qiqi thought of the medicine man who was blocking the cloth shop and the rice shop.
She closed the gate of Youzhou City and tried hard to insert the heavy iron bolt.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Shaoling looked at her movements in confusion, and helped her fasten the iron gate.
"When I first arrived, I saw one or two medicine men in the cloth shop."
Qiao Qiqi explained, "Closing the city gates is to prevent those medicine men from escaping."
“Are there medicine men in those shops too?”
Pei Shaoling frowned, "It seems that a lot of things have happened in Youzhou City before."
"No matter what, those in power shouldn't attack innocent people."
Qiao Qiqi sighed softly, "What a pity for the people of Youzhou City. They could have lived their lives in peace, but instead they became pawns of those in power."
"Speaking of chess pieces, the Governor Lin you rescued earlier should also be a chess piece."
Pei Shaoling pondered for a moment and then softly analyzed, "Those people pretended to be him, but didn't kill him. They probably wanted him to take the blame after the incident."
ah?
Qiao Qiqi was dumbfounded.
Is there such an operation?
She hadn't considered these things.
"Come on, let's go back!"
As he spoke, Pei Shaoling carried Pei Shaoan on his back and walked forward.
"Husband, wait!"
Qiao Qiqi quickly called him over and took out the bicycle frame that she had put in her own space.
There was also a lot of rice and cloth placed on the carriage.
Pei Shaoling heard her call and turned around in confusion.
Qiao Qiqi gave him a faint smile and said, "Put Shaoan on this frame."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, "What a pity for those good horses. We can only push them back."
"Yeah, okay."
Pei Shaoling placed Pei Shaoan on the carriage and started pushing it himself. "It doesn't matter if the horse is gone, as long as the person is still here."
"By the way, how did you get out of the ruined temple?"
Qiao Qiqi remembered that Pei Shaoling was planning to hide the fact that his leg had healed.
"The situation was so urgent that I couldn't think of much else. I just came here directly."
Pei Shaoling then remembered his own affairs and spoke softly.
"That's it."
Qiao Qiqi bit her lip. "How about, when we get to the ruined temple, you can sit on the carriage too. Just say your legs aren't healed yet, and you're using your inner strength to force yourself to stand up."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my lady."
Pei Shaoling curled his lips.
"By the way, where did those people who evacuated Youzhou City go?"
Looking at the messy horseshoe prints and wheel tracks on the ground, Qiao Qiqi asked softly.
