Chapter 48 Who is such a good person who carries so much money when he goes out?

[Actually... I also want to help people from other counties. ]

[But we may not be so lucky every time to meet such a stupid county magistrate. With a powerful family like the Gongsun family as support, the previous methods are almost impossible to replicate. ]

[I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor scholars in the world. ]

Seeing those grain merchants, Gan Tian's mood was a little lost.

They walked in the tunnel for seven days. When they left the tunnel, everyone felt as if they were in another world.

They didn't dare to take the official road, so they could only follow the small road to Jianan Pass.

This time they were very lucky. Not only did they not encounter bandits, but they were also very peaceful along the way.

When they saw the Jianan Pass city tower, the old lady shed tears with excitement.

"Jianan Pass, we're finally here!"

They thought they could have a good rest and some supplies after arriving at Jianan Pass, but before they even entered the pass, they saw many corpses wrapped in straw mats being carried out of the pass.

They lined up in pairs, their faces were pale, and their suppressed crying was chilling. Someone was crying one second, and vomiting blood and fainting the next.

In an instant, everyone quickly dispersed, and only the person's relatives and friends lifted the person onto the wooden board with a look of grief.

A gust of wind blew, and the straw mat was rustling, making a howling sound, a sad sound similar to crying.

[Did I accidentally walk into the scene of a horror movie? ]

[Is this a romance power-conspiracy novel? ]

[There are no ghosts, right? ]

[Could it be... a plague? 】

The young man's childish voice startled the Gan family.

Plague! ?

If T really encountered a plague, would he still be able to enter Jianan Pass?

Hui Niang hugged Gan Tian tightly: "My husband, it looks so weird here, I think we should go back."

Su Baishou stopped a family, he lifted the straw curtain and took a quick look at the body, the flesh and blood on the body had already rotted.

Su Baishou's face changed drastically, and he lost all color. He quickly put down the straw curtain, took out a small bottle of sesame oil and dripped it into his nasal cavity, and then handed it to everyone.

"There may be an epidemic at Jianan Pass!"

"Everyone, drop this in your nose."

Gan Fanren comforted Hui Niang by hugging her shoulders: "It's too late."

"Do you remember where the tunnel leads from?"

Gan Fanren's words made everyone silent.

Only Li Zhi answered stupidly: "From Tongmen Pass to Jianan Pass?"

"Didn't we see grain merchants transporting grain from Jianan Pass to Tongmen Pass?"

At this time, Li Zhi obviously didn't realize what Gan Fanren really wanted to express.

But everyone else realized it.

Su Nanxing's face was pale and a little transparent: "If it is really an epidemic, those grain merchants may have brought the epidemic to Tongmen Pass. We have no way to avoid it now."

Hearing this, the old lady held her forehead and almost fainted.

"Epidemic?"

Gongsun Yue was calm, and took the sesame oil and dripped it into his nose.

"Although there is a plague in Jianan Pass, at least there is no shortage of food and herbs. If we go back now, it will be a dead end."

Others also dripped sesame oil, and even Gan Tian was no exception.

The feeling of dripping sesame oil in the nose was a little uncomfortable, but Gan Tian understood that the sesame oil that Su Bai took out was similar to a modern mask and had a good isolation effect.

So she did not resist, but just wrinkled her nose uncomfortably.

They hurried to the pass with the pass, but they didn't expect that the soldiers guarding the pass didn't even look at them.

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's really brave to enter the city at this time."

Gongsun Yue asked curiously, "Military officers, don't you check the pass?"

"What if we are spies from the enemy? Isn't

that letting a wolf into the house?" The soldiers guarding the city sneered, "Enemy spies can't come to our Jianan Pass. How dare you risk your life?"

"If you are really spies, that's great. It saves us brothers from taking action, and God will take you away."

The soldier had a gray look on his face, his face was slightly purple, and he didn't look very healthy.

His words made everyone feel a little depressed.

They put away the pass and entered Jianan Pass.

The first county town they came across after entering Jianan Pass was Xiaoye Town. White banners were hung everywhere in the town, and every household had its doors and windows closed. Apart from people who were looking for funerals and transporting corpses, there were almost no people walking on the streets.

Gan Fanren and his friends found an inn.

The innkeeper saw them and tried to stop them, saying, "Sir, please leave quickly. There is an epidemic in the city and many people are in trouble. If you don't leave and get infected, you will probably die here."

Su Baishou didn't care, "I'm a doctor and I want to stay."

Gan Fanren said, "The epidemic is spreading very fast. I'm afraid it's not just Xiaoye City. All the counties in Jianan Pass are probably infected. Unless we can travel a thousand miles a day, we can't leave today." The innkeeper

sighed, "It's all fate."

"I'll give you the waiter's room on the first floor. I don't need your money, just a little. You don't have to go into the inn. You have to take care of your own food and lodging."

The innkeeper took them to the waiter's room.

The waiter's room is at the side door of the inn. You can go in and out directly without going in and out from the inn. It is two independent spaces from the inn.

The shopkeeper explained, "This epidemic is fierce, and I'm not sure who is sick or not, so it's best to live separately."

"I'm deeply moved that you are willing to stay in Xiaoye City to treat everyone. Although I'm just a businessman, I won't make money from you righteous people. This is also my heartfelt gesture."

The shopkeeper left the key to the shop and hurried away.

"Wait a moment."

Su Baishou threw the sesame oil and another small bottle to the shopkeeper: "If you go out, apply the sesame oil to your nose, and wipe it clean when you get home to prevent the epidemic."

"The other bottle is for washing hands."

The shopkeeper gratefully accepted the medicine bottle.

Gan Tian was a little anxious.

[My mother and brothers are very weak, and my father is a weak scholar. He is not very strong and can easily be infected with the epidemic. ] [

It would be great if the hospital in the system could be activated, so that some medicinal materials, disinfectants, masks and isolation suits can be taken out. ]

[Two thousand taels of silver, my father worked hard to sell so much food and only saved seven hundred taels, where can he get the remaining one thousand three hundred taels? ]

Gan Fanren's eyes flickered.

This so-called hospital is indeed what they need now.

He took a look at Gongsun Yue, who was wearing gorgeous clothes and waving a paper fan. He looked like he had three words written on him.

Sucker.

Apart from other things, the rough paper Gongsun Yue had sprinkled at that time was worth several hundred taels in total. He might have some savings.

Gan Fanren pulled Gongsun Yue aside.

"Do you have silver?"

Gongsun Yue nodded: "How much do you want, Brother Gan?"

"One thousand three hundred taels."

Gongsun Yue didn't even blink: "Yes, but it's a banknote."

"I'm afraid a banknote won't work."

Gan Fanren remembered that the system liked things like gold and silver. Although banknotes were valuable, to the system, they were just pieces of paper and would not be recognized.

"Where's the gold?"

Gongsun Yue opened the bag. What a guy, there was not even a change of clothes in it, but all gold and silver.

Which good family would carry a bag of gold?

As soon as Gan Fanren took the bag, his body sank slightly. It was too heavy.

Before, he only thought that Gongsun Yue was a young scholar with high spirits, but now he knows that the other party is obviously a man of both civil and military talents.

He is the only one with a weak body.

Before, Gan Fanren didn't think there was anything wrong. When he knew that Gongsun Yue's bag was full of gold, he suddenly felt a little scared.

Fortunately, he didn't encounter bandits this time, otherwise he would really have to fight with them.

"Why do you take so much silver with you when you go out?"

Gongsun Yue smiled and waved his fan: "The elders in my family were afraid that I would be wronged when I went out, so they brought more. A poor family can make a rich journey."
