Chapter 61 They want to set fire to the city

Hearing that the condition has improved, many people's eyes were filled with tears, and some even cried softly.

In recent days, they have seen too many separations and deaths. They thought that they would be hopeless if they got the epidemic, but they didn't expect that they could still see hope.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's a good thing that the condition has improved."

Su Nanxing comforted everyone, with unstoppable excitement in her eyes.

"Don't cry, I'll stew meat for you tonight."

Hearing that there was meat to eat, everyone's mood stabilized a lot.

The epidemic was under control, and everyone's mood was much higher. Some people even couldn't help singing a little song in public.

The atmosphere in the epidemic prevention workshop was much more cheerful.

Gan Fanren and Gongsun Yue stood in the corner, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Brother Gan, I used to feel happy only when I was talking to others or being praised by others. Now, somehow, I feel happy when I see them happy."

"I am very glad to be traveling with you."

"I don't want to call you Brother Gan anymore. I want to call you Big Brother like Li Zhi."

"You don't have to call me Brother Xian. Just call me by my name."

Gan Fanren understood that the young man in front of him was completely "tamed" by him.

He smiled sincerely and said, "Okay, from now on, I will call you A Yue."

"No, no!"

As soon as Gan Fanren finished speaking, Song Ci ran over breathlessly, breaking the peace. "I just heard that the county magistrate

left with his family."

Gongsun Yue raised his eyebrows: "What's so strange about this? Didn't you say it a few days ago?" "This is not strange. What's strange is that, in addition to the county magistrate, many important officials of the county government have left with their families, and many patients have been carried in one after another." Song Ci's brows were full of anxiety: "So many patients outside the city were carried into Xiaoye City. I'm worried... I'm worried that they are going to set fire to the city!" These patients with the epidemic were so scattered, but now they are suddenly gathered together, and at a time when a large number of county officials were evacuated. This is simply too strange. While speaking, a carrier pigeon flew towards Gongsun Yue. The carrier pigeon had a cloth strip tied to its leg, and the cloth strip was marked with a special totem. "It's the carrier pigeon of our Gongsun family." Gongsun Yue raised his arms and let the carrier pigeon fly onto their arms. He looked at the cloth strips, his jawline gradually tensed. "Brother said that Jianan Pass issued an order for all passes to send patients with the epidemic to Xiaoye City, preparing to set the city on fire." "Not only that, they also planned out a vacant lot in Jianan Pass, saying they want to build a new Xiaoye City." "How could this happen?" "We have finally developed an antidote for the epidemic, we can't just die like this." The old man with a white beard stood up. "I'll go!" "I've saved the county magistrate's life several times before, so I still have some face in front of him. Let me have a good chat with him." Gan Fanren stood up and said, "I'll go with you." Song Ci nodded and said, "The county magistrate hasn't gone far yet. You all get on my centipede and I'll take you to chase him. We will definitely catch up." No one dared to delay and immediately got on Song Ci's centipede, manipulating it to shuttle across the ground at high speed. The guards who were guarding the city were shocked by the huge centipede they had seen for the first time and didn't know how to react. They easily let Song Ci and the others out of the city gate. After Song Ci and the others left, the guards reacted. "Oh no, the county magistrate has ordered that no one can be released within two hours!" "That's enough, the magistrate has left and won't care about us anymore." Song Ci was so fast that he actually caught up with the magistrate's carriage. "Mr. County magistrate!" "Mr. County magistrate!" The old doctor stood on the centipede, his beard whirring. Seeing the huge centipede suddenly appear, the yamen runners guarding the magistrate raised their knives in fear. "Protect the magistrate!" The magistrate quietly opened the curtain a little, glimpsed the huge centipede, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his clothes and spoke in a stern voice. "Stop it." "This is Song Ci from our county yamen. His father saved my life." He stepped on the back of a yamen runner and got off the carriage. "Ah Ci, Doctor Zhu, why are you here?" Although his face was gentle, he stood very far away, as if he was afraid of being infected with the disease. "Sir, I came here because I heard that you wanted to burn down Xiaoye City. I have something to tell you." "We have found a way to treat the epidemic. These patients can be cured." The county magistrate looked at Song Ci with a somewhat cold expression, but it disappeared in an instant. He smiled and said, "What are you talking about? The people of Xiaoye City are all my people. How can I give up so easily?" "Don't be fooled by these false news." "We left because we received news that the king's capital sent doctors and nobles to welcome them. To show respect, we went to welcome them." The old doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. I knew you wouldn't be that kind of person." "Sir, this is a disinfectant developed by several of us doctors. Just spray it in your residence to effectively prevent and treat the epidemic. You must keep it well." The old doctor lied. This was given by the goddess, and it was indeed effective after testing. The county magistrate winked at a subordinate, and the subordinate took the thing. "Thank you, Doctor Zhu. It's getting late. We still have to go and greet the nobles and doctors. We'll leave now."

Doctor Zhu and his men watched the county magistrate and other officials leave.

Gan Fanren asked Gongsun Yue in a low voice: "Does Ayue know Qinggong?"

"Brother Gan, do you want to listen to the county magistrate's conversation with others?"

Gongsun Yue said regretfully: "I can't. Even if I can, it's hard to avoid the sight of the yamen runners."

If it was dark, it would be better. In broad daylight, he really didn't have the ability.

"I can."

Song Ci raised his hand weakly: "I have a bird here."

"This bird is a pair. Let the female bird go out, and the male bird can hear what the female bird hears."

"This is great!"

Gongsun Yue's eyes lit up.

"How did you come up with this idea?"

Song Ci said embarrassedly, "I made this by accident. The inspiration came from my mother. Whenever she heard something interesting, she would tell my father..."

Song Ci didn't say much. While the county magistrate was not far away, he quietly released the female bird, which happened to land on the top of the carriage.

The female bird was very realistic, and the yamen runners thought it was just an ordinary bird and didn't care.

Gan Fanren and his friends held the male bird and heard a conversation with some changed voices.

"What's that sound?"

"My Lord, it's a bird that landed on your sedan chair. Magistrates announcing good news is a good omen."

The county magistrate laughed and said, "Well said."

"As long as Xiaoye City is burned down, we can make a lot of money in the name of reconstruction. Isn't that a good thing!"
