Wu Nian was deeply shocked when he saw the scene outside the city!
Looking at the soldiers who had followed him for many years...
They were all looking at me with pleading eyes.
Suddenly he made up his mind and pointed at the soldier in front of him.
"You few come with me to open the city gates and invite the doctor, abbot, and high monks into the city!"
When the soldiers heard Wu Nian order the city gates to be opened, they cheered with joy.
Mu Feng stopped Wu Nian and the soldiers who were about to leave the city wall.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. The city gate cannot be opened!"
Wu Nian looked at him, puzzled.
"Brother Mu, why is that?"
Mu Feng took a deep breath and explained to him
"Opening the city gates without orders is a capital offense. We've gone to great lengths to save your lives; we can't just watch you die. Besides, if the refugees outside the city don't believe there's a plague and insist on forcing their way in, we can't stop them with our current numbers!"
Hearing him say that, the light in the soldiers' eyes gradually dimmed.
But a moment later, I heard his voice again.
"Attention, all soldiers! Now, close your eyes! No peeking! If you don't see anything, it means you know nothing. You don't need to open the city gates, which means you haven't disobeyed orders. Understand?"
The soldiers shouted in unison, "Understood!"
Wu Nian watched as the soldiers closed their eyes, and then he closed his eyes as well.
Qin Luo and Mu Feng jumped off the city wall.
Doctor You and Jingming continued walking towards the city gate.
Qin Xian and Qin Liang, worried, also came along.
Qin Xing and Qin Ling also wanted to come, but Doctor You stopped them.
The two men, feeling regretful, had no choice but to remain where they were, as they felt the clansmen and villagers couldn't be left unattended.
Everyone else, please put on your masks and gather below the city gate.
Mu Feng wanted to carry Doctor You up with him, but was refused.
He could only carry the temple keeper up with him as they flew.
Several vines extended from behind Qin Luo, and together Doctor You and the others entangled him.
In the blink of an eye, he was lifted up to the top of the city wall.
Only after Qin Luo withdrew the vines did Mu Feng allow the soldiers to open their eyes.
They were all very excited when they saw the people appearing on the city wall!
Looking at Jingming, who was young but full of Buddhist wisdom, Wu Nian dared not show the slightest disrespect.
After Mu Feng introduced everyone, Wu Nian stepped forward and bowed to them with clasped hands.
"Many thanks to Doctor You, and many thanks to the abbot and all the eminent monks for their willingness to come and help the people of Changjin County!"
Doctor You lifted his arm and took out a bag of pills.
"These are the pills you took. Send someone to deliver this medicine to the Prefect, so that each of them can take one. It will treat any illness and prevent future illness. Then have the recovered soldiers pile up the corpses once more and burn them."
Then he pulled out a bottle of disinfectant spray that Qin Luo had given him, a pack of masks and gloves.
"Anyone who needs to handle a body, come over here first and put on your mask and gloves. Use this spray to disinfect yourself; you don't need much, just a little bit is enough!"
Wu Nian quickly gave orders to his men, and the soldiers busied themselves with tasks...
Qin Luo found it amusing to see Doctor You's distressed expression.
She pulled Qin Liang and Qin Xian away quietly to a secluded spot.
He took out a large sack from his spatial storage; it was full of pills.
Wu Hua was asleep, so Tengteng had to make the pills.
Hundreds of vines stretched out and were rubbed together, filling a sack in no time.
Then he took out two large sacks.
One sack contained disinfectant, and the other contained gloves and masks.
Qin Xian carried the bag of pills and walked up to Doctor You.
"Dr. You, these are the medicine pills, I brought them all!"
Doctor You nodded earnestly: "Good, good, good, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work, there's more to do, Sixth Cousin and Luoluo are carrying more!"
Upon hearing that Qin Luo was moving, Mu Feng immediately stepped forward to inquire.
"Where is it? I'll go get it; Luo Luo is too small to carry it!"
Then Qin Luo was seen carrying a sack several times larger than herself, which she placed on the ground.
Following behind was Qin Liang, carrying a sack and his face flushed. Qin Xian quickly went to take it from him.
"Sixth cousin, let me do it, let me do it!"
Qin Xiangan had just taken Qin Liang's sack when he heard Mu Feng scold him.
"Luo Luo is so heavy, how can you carry her? Ask your uncle to carry her! Doesn't your shoulder hurt?"
"No, Uncle is very strong! Uncle is rather weak, we can't let him carry anything too heavy."
Qin Luo spoke with an air of nonchalance.
Mu Feng looked at Qin Liang, who was panting heavily from exhaustion, and nodded in agreement.
"That's true! Next time there are heavy things, ask your uncle to carry them. You're a girl, you know?"
Qin Luo then turned serious.
"Okay, Uncle! I won't do it again!"
Mu Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Wu Nian looked at the several large sacks and curiously stepped forward to ask...
"I wonder what these things are for, and where they should be placed?"
Doctor You bowed to him.
"Please find me a clean place to carry all this over."
Wu Nian readily agreed, looking at the three large sacks.
I thought to myself: If a child can lift this, how heavy can it be? Watch me lift it up with one hand!
They couldn't lift it, so they had to get soldiers to help carry it over.
Wu Nian felt that his weakness was due to a serious illness.
The group, carrying torches, walked to an open square.
Along the way, there were disaster victims everywhere, lying on the ground in despair, waiting to die...
After everything was put away, Doctor You pointed at Mu Feng and looked at Wu Nian.
"Lord Centurion, please have a soldier take my nephew to give medicine to the seriously ill, and also have someone bring me a table and chairs so those with mild symptoms can come here to get their medicine!"
Thinking of Jingming, he continued to instruct him.
"Have someone inform the people that the abbot and high monks of Fuhua Temple will soon be asking the auspicious beast Dangkang for food, and that they should bring cloth bags and buckets to collect food and water!"
Finally, he solemnly added...
"Most importantly, all the corpses in the city must be burned as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the more likely new symptoms will appear. Have the soldiers in charge of the burnings come to me to collect their masks and gloves!"
Qin Luo quickly chimed in.
"I'd also trouble you, Commander, to have some large water vats brought over, along with plenty of buckets and a horse-drawn cart!"
Wu Nian didn't ask any further questions and quickly ordered someone to take care of it.
He personally took Mu Feng and the pills to the area where the critically ill patients were staying.
Qin Luo told Jingming and the others to shine and chant scriptures as they pleased.
Qin Liang deliberately extinguished all the torches!
Jingming and his fellow disciples performed the same actions as before, clasping their hands together and bowing sincerely!
"Amitabha! Abbot Jingming of Fuhua Temple, along with the monks, prays to the auspicious beast Dang Kang, beseeching you to bestow food and save the people of the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young monk Jingming was enveloped in light!
The eyes of the nearby residents and disaster victims were instantly drawn to them!
They all knelt and prayed around them…
Qin Luo took advantage of the fact that the disaster victims were all gathered around Jingming and the others
The empty space in the corner was filled with food and water, and the wagon was also crammed full...
