After Qin Yuesheng reported the situation in Jingci Town to Bai Hao, he asked the constable to go to Jingci Town and transport the screen wall back by carriage.
Although we don't know who built the screen wall, the fact that it contains a small world inside is a magical device that deserves the attention of the Seven Stars Supervisor.
Since Qin Yuesheng did not retrieve anything that could prove his resentment from the screen wall this time, Bai Hao generously rewarded him with three hundred resentments as a reward for his hard work on this trip.
But now Qin Yuesheng doesn't care much about the hostility.
After all, as long as he breaks through the Youjing acupoint and becomes a master of the first level of internal strength, he will be on the same level as Bai Hao. In the future, killing sneaky monsters and gaining their power will be a piece of cake.
After saying goodbye to Bai Hao, Qin Yuesheng returned to the Qin Mansion, ready to stay in the mansion honestly and concentrate on practicing for a period of time so that he could break through the Youjing acupoint as soon as possible.
…
Two days later.
For unknown reasons, a severe cold wave has hit Qingyang City recently. Folk clinics and pharmacies are packed with patients' families who go there to buy medicine. For a while, all the medicinal materials were sold out and the demand could not meet the supply.
When walking on the street, you can see passers-by coughing once or twice after walking a few steps.
Fortunately, Xun Sheng had already issued an order that those who caught a cold needed to wrap a piece of cloth around their mouths to cover their faces before going out. This did help to control the spread of colds, but it was not a big deal.
The entire Qingyang City is like this, and the Qin Mansion will naturally not be spared.
From Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin who had just returned from a trip to Hanshan Temple, to the servants and maids, everyone was more or less infected with the cold and coughed all day long.
On the contrary, Qin Yuesheng and Qin, who had been staying at home and never leaving the house, were not affected.
"Don't spit! All body fluids must be handled uniformly! Everyone must wear a mask to prevent infection. People with colds are not allowed to participate in any work that involves contact with other people's body fluids, such as washing clothes and cooking!"
"Wipe everything in the mansion with salt water and strong liquor. Use quicklime and water to clean the entire Qin Mansion. Don't leave out a single corner!"
Qin Yuesheng had a red cloth covering his face as he shouted to the servants he had gathered together.
Since ancient times, disease has been a killer of the population everywhere.
It's just a common cold, and the doctor can control it with effort.
But the cold outbreak spread throughout the city at once, which made Qin Yuesheng secretly worried.
Could this be a sign of a plague outbreak?
As a martial artist in the internal force realm, with the help of Yang Yuan Gong, he has strong immunity and can ignore it.
But ordinary people in the Qin Mansion were not so lucky.
In this situation, Qin Yuesheng could only use the disinfection and prevention methods he knew and let the servants of the Qin Mansion take action to kill the viruses and bacteria in the Qin Mansion and reduce the chances of anyone else being infected with the cold.
"Butler Qin, do we have enough medicinal materials in our house? How long can they last?" Qin Yuesheng asked Qin Zheng.
"Don't worry, young master. Doctor Hua likes to stock up. Even if the herbs in the medicine shop are used every day, it will take one or two months to use them up." Butler Qin said with a smile.
Qin Yuesheng nodded and said, "Very good. Then don't be stingy. If anyone in the mansion is sick, let Doctor Hua cure them with the most effective prescription. Don't delay, to prevent it from infecting others."
"yes."
…
Qingyang City Government Office.
Xun Sheng hurried into Bai Hao's room and said, "Master Bai, the illness in the city seems to be getting worse. Three people have already died from this cold. Cough cough cough."
As he spoke, Xun Sheng couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough.
Bai Hao looked up at him from behind the desk, then stood up and walked over, grabbed Xun Sheng's shoulders, and passed a burst of internal energy to him.
Xun Sheng's cough was immediately suppressed and his breathing became smoother.
"Such a sudden cold snap must be caused by something else. The officials from Chang'an should arrive in Qingyang City within the next two days. You must firmly control the entire city and send people to strictly patrol everywhere. I strongly suspect this incident may be related to the foreigners."
"A stranger?!" Xun Sheng exclaimed, "Can a stranger be so capable?"
"The origins of the Stranger are mysterious. Since ancient times, wherever the Stranger has appeared, various natural and man-made disasters have followed. Thirty-six years ago, the severe drought and locust plague in the southwest killed 70,000 to 80,000 people from starvation and thirst. Eleven years ago, the dam in the middle section of the Haixing Canal collapsed, flooding thousands of acres of fertile farmland and dozens of imperial granaries. These were all caused by the Stranger."
"There is such a thing!" Xun Sheng's face was full of shock. This was the first time he had heard such a statement in all his years as an official. However, considering Bai Hao's identity, the other party would definitely not make up such a lie to deceive him.
"Don't make it public. Wait until Lord Tongchan arrives in Qingyang City and let him make the decision," said Bai Hao.
"I understand."
…
"Cough cough, it's cold!" Qin Feng was lying on the bed, covered with several layers of thick quilts. His face looked pale and weak.
Qin Yuesheng stood by and looked at Hua Shique who was taking Qin Feng's pulse with a serious face.
Qin Feng had already caught a cold when he was visiting Hanshan Temple. His condition worsened after he returned to the Qin Mansion. Now he only felt cold body, cold hands and feet, and an indescribable depression in his heart.
You know, the weather in Qingyang City is extremely hot right now. If Qin Yuesheng hadn't been wearing the Snow Cold Crystal Pendant, he would have been sweating quietly from the heat.
