Chapter 218 Water pouring down from the city gate



Coming back again, Qiu Yinong waved his hand, set up a ban, and the cave instantly caught fire.

A wave of heat rose from the ground, but no one smelled any burning odor. Everyone knew what was going on, but said nothing.

Qiu Yinong applied a dust-clearing spell on Li Ao, and the pungent smell quickly dissipated.

"Go change your clothes. If you're still not feeling well, go wash in the water." Qiu Yinong cleaned the girl's wound without looking up.

After Li Ao thanked him, he went to get his clothes.

The girl was about eight or nine years old, and the wound on her leg was so deep that the bone was visible.

Qiu Yinong took a dagger from Chu Hongyun, cut off the rotten flesh on the child's wound, and poured spring water from the kettle over it with a sizzling sound.

Those insect eggs and maggots died on the spot.

A trace of life force emerged from the fingers, and new flesh began to grow on the child's wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qiu Qinghe pretended not to see this scene and stood aside holding clean gauze, waiting for Qiu Yinong's instructions.

When the wound was almost recovered, Qiu Yinong stopped and did not let it heal completely.

He took the gauze from Qiu Qinghe, sprinkled some medicine on her wound, and bandaged it.

He checked the child's pulse again and found that she was not infected with the plague.

Didn't wake the child up, let her lie down and rest first.

Qiu Yinong checked the remaining thirteen people again. Two of them had produced antibodies on their own and actually recovered. The reason they almost died was because they were hungry and thirsty.

The rest were in severe condition of the plague, so the antidote was dissolved in water and fed to them.

He also asked Qingyuan to cook some rice porridge and feed some to each of them.

After Qiu Yinong and the others finished cooking, the people lying in the makeshift shed received treatment and supplies, and slowly opened their eyes.

Just as Qiu Yinong took the bowl handed over by Chu Hongyun, the old woman who first grabbed Qiu Qinghe's ankle spoke weakly.

"Who...are you? Have we been rescued?"

The old woman stared at Qiu Yinong's bowl with her cloudy eyes and licked her lips subconsciously.

Obviously hungry, Qiu Yinong didn't put the bowl down and looked at her: "I am a doctor. I have treated you. Your life will not be safe for the time being."

"I've already fed you porridge and soup. You've been hungry for a long time, so don't eat too quickly. Don't eat too early these few days to avoid hurting your stomach."

When the maids heard this, their eyes immediately turned red: "Thank you very much for saving my life, young lady."

"You're welcome." After saying that, Qiu Yinong began to eat quietly.

The patients who woke up were all dumbfounded. That was it. The girl didn't even bother to be polite and just started eating?

Chu Hongyun picked up a chicken leg for her and sat beside her to eat quietly.

Qiu Qinghe was still a little embarrassed. Her eyes fell on the patients who were looking at her eagerly, and then she looked at Qiu Yinong and the others who were eating happily.

Finally, he lowered his head and ate in silence.

After dinner, Qing Yuan served Qiu Yinong and the others a cup of tea.

After a few mouthfuls, Qiu Yinong looked at Li Ao and said, "Brother Li Ao, you and Shen Lin stay here."

"Ayun, brothers, you two come with me to see what's going on in Mocheng."

Li Ao and the other two bowed quickly to accept the order, and Chu Hongyun also nodded.

Qing Yuan, Zi Yao and Qiu Qinghe also stayed behind to take care of the patients temporarily. Chu Hongyun and Jing Xu drove and took Qiu Yinong to Mocheng.

The place where they set up camp was actually not far from Mo City, but not close either. After two and a half hours, they arrived at the city gate before dark.

The gates of Mo City were closed, and many sick refugees gathered outside the gate, leaning against the city wall.

A foul smell spread out. Seeing a carriage approaching, the patients near the city gate opened their eyes, looked around, and quickly closed them again. They really didn't have the strength to get up.

"Splash..." A tank of water poured down directly from the city wall.

The patient below was drenched in cold water. Chu Hongyun looked up and saw a dozen guards standing there.

Three or four people carried a vat and poured water from the bottom.

Jing Xu roared angrily: "What are you doing!"

"What to do? You can't smell it, it stinks, and they won't leave. We don't want to go out and clean it up, so we just douse them with water. They're very polite that we didn't set them on fire."

"Who are you and what are you doing in Mo City?" The guard who spoke was a young man with a look of disdain on his face.

When Jingxu heard him say this, he laughed out of anger.

"That's great. This time the plague is rampant, and the Mocheng County Magistrate is managing Mocheng in this way, turning away refugees and leaving them to die."

"The county magistrate? Hahaha, that's hilarious! That idiot advocated letting the sick into the city when the plague started, but in the end, he himself became too sick to even get up."

"Now this Mo City is managed by my uncle. If this city is not open, get out of here!"

The young guard smiled very proudly.

Jing Xu was stunned. It turned out that he had wronged the magistrate of Mocheng County.

"Who is the commander of this city?" Chu Hongyun raised his head slightly and asked the young commander.

The young guard sneered: "Why, you still want to get close to my uncle? I tell you, no way, no one can come in."

"Swish!" A silver needle flew out from the car window, and the guard felt a pain in his neck.

Then he couldn't speak anymore.

"Brother Quan, what's wrong with you?" A guard nearby hurried forward to help. He saw a silver needle on his neck and reached out to pull it out.

But the young guard still couldn't speak. He angrily hit the guard who helped him on the head.

The guard didn't dare get angry even after being hit. Instead, he said in a flattering tone, "It must be because of this silver needle. Brother Quan, arrest them. They are the ones who harmed you. Arrest them, steal the carriage, and throw them into the blockade area."

"What a vicious idea! It seems that you have locked up all the sick people in the city, right!" Qiu Yinong's voice came out.

Everyone was stunned. It was a young woman?

Chu Hongyun got out of the car. Qiu Yinong opened the door. She stood in the car with a veil on her face and looked up at the city wall.

"Open the city gates and have the guards come to see me!"

Jingxu also stood on the ground and scolded the guards.

Zhang Quan couldn't speak. The man next to him was about to curse when he saw Jing Xu holding a token in his hand.

After the token was thrown onto the city wall, the person subconsciously caught it, but the pain in her palm almost made her throw the thing away.

When he saw the three words "***" written on it, he was so scared that he knelt down.

"Quan, Brother Quan, it's... that man is from Zhaoyang Mansion, the eldest son of Duke Jing's Mansion." The guard who received the token knelt down after seeing clearly.

Zhang Quan was also stunned. He leaned over to take a look, and his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

"Woo woo woo..." Zhang Quan hit the guards twice, signaling them to quickly open the city gate and ask someone to call his uncle over.

The city gate opened quickly, and Zhang Quan came up in a panic, not daring to even look at the three people.
