Chapter 216: Besieging Dayang Town into a Dead City
Ye Chutang immediately looked towards the source of the squeaking sound.
At the town gate, a group of big black rats quickly rushed into the town.
It makes one's scalp tingle.
People on the street were screaming, some ran into shops, some fled inside, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Just as Qi Yanzhou was about to step forward to kill the rat, he was stopped by Ye Chutang.
"These rats are likely to carry the plague and cannot be killed."
The appearance of large numbers of rats in broad daylight is definitely man-made!
The plague is spread by fleas. If a rat dies, the fleas will frantically look for a new host - humans.
What we need to do now is to deworm, then capture the rats alive and burn them in a closed environment.
Qi Yanzhou knew how serious the plague was, and anger rose on his handsome face.
He didn't expect that the dog emperor would do such a cruel thing in order to destroy the Qi family.
If plague and pestilence are not controlled properly, they can destroy a country!
"Atang, take your parents out of town first, and leave these rats to me."
Before he could finish his words, the people from the Zhao family ran out of the town.
Just as Han Chong was about to send his men to stop the people, the Zhao family was forced back by the next wave of rats.
"Rats, so many rats, help!"
Ye Chutang immediately took out the insect repellent powder and sprinkled it on the Qi family members.
After she finished spreading it, she sprinkled some more on the ground.
"Dad and Mom, please stand still and don't move. The powder can protect you."
After saying that, she threw the unused medicine powder to Han Chong.
"Give this medicine to the subordinates who are good at martial arts. Let them catch mice. After catching the mice, wrap them in clothes and burn them."
Han Chong nodded solemnly, "Yes, Madam Qi."
Ye Chutang looked at Qi Yanzhou and said, "Go to the pharmacy and see if there is any anthelmintic medicine. Buy as much as you can."
Just as Qi Yanzhou was about to go to the pharmacy diagonally opposite, Zhenfu stopped him with a pale face.
"Don't go. The pharmacy is empty. There's no medicine."
After saying this, he slapped his thigh and cried, "God is going to destroy Dayang Town! Thousands of people are gone!"
Ye Chutang didn't have time to ask the reason. He just said "I'll go out and take a look" and then tiptoed out of Dayang Town using Qinggong.
As she reached the door, she saw a small group of soldiers with bows and arrows pointed at her.
The leader looked at Ye Chutang who came out of the town with murderous intent on his face.
"Go in, or I'll kill you all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shot an arrow as a warning.
Ye Chutang did not retreat but advanced, grabbed the arrow, threw it back, and stabbed it into the leader's heart.
The leader's eyes widened as he watched the arrows flying back at high speed.
His body instinctively dodged, but he was a step too slow and was shot in the arm.
As the pain hit him, he roared, "Shoot!"
Ye Chutang quickly hid under a big tree at the town gate.
Arrows rained down like arrows piercing the tree trunks and landing at the town gate.
She stopped Qi Yanzhou who was chasing her.
Seeing that her plan had been accomplished, she put her hands on the ground and buried all the rats running on the land deep underground.
There were also some rats scurrying across the bluestone slabs and shop floors, which had to be caught by hand.
As soon as she finished her work, Qi Yanzhou came to her side under the rain of arrows.
There was obvious panic in the man's eyes.
"Atang, are you okay?"
While questioning, he pulled Ye Chutang up from where she was squatting on the ground and looked her up and down to see if she was injured.
Ye Chutang shook his head. "It's okay. I injured the leader. He was poisoned. It won't be long before the poison breaks out."
Qi Yanzhou felt relieved when he saw that Ye Chutang was fine.
"Dayang Town should be surrounded. Let's go back to the town first."
"Well, the town is safe until news of the plague or the plague spreads."
Ye Chutang went ahead, and Qi Yanzhou followed behind.
The two of them entered the town one after the other.
There is no gate at the entrance to the town.
The soldiers could clearly see the panicked people on the street and hear their terrified cries.
Someone asked the leader, "Boss, will there be trouble if plague and plague are combined?"
In the past, no matter which epidemic broke out, many people would die.
This time, with the two epidemics coming at the same time, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to control them and would be infected himself.
The leader is called Peng Bin.
He glared at the talkative soldier and said, "As long as we surround Dayang Town like a dead city, wait for the news of the epidemic to spread, and then burn it down, nothing will happen!"
After that, he said to his uneasy subordinates: "As long as the matter is done, you can be promoted from soldiers to officers and get a salary increase. Do you understand?"
“I understand!”
The brave ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation. Go ahead!
Peng Bin had stabilized his soldiers and ordered, "Notify everyone. If anyone in Dayang Town tries to come out, shoot them directly."
"Yes, Boss."
When the order was passed down, the soldiers who had raised questions before had more questions.
"Boss, can the insect repellent powder sprinkled on the ground trap mice?"
He was worried that the effectiveness of the medicine would decrease over time.
Peng Bin looked at the powder that had blended into the soil on the ground and said affirmatively, "Of course it can, this is from the palace...Puff!"
Before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell down powerlessly.
The men beside him quickly supported Peng Bin.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Peng Bin's face turned blue, and it was obvious that he was poisoned.
He felt as if the blood in his body was frozen and he shivered with cold.
"The arrow is poisonous, go find a doctor!"
"Boss, the doctor is in town."
The further north you go, the less populated it becomes, and the town of Lin is thirty miles away.
Even if you ride a horse on the official road, it will take half a day to go back and forth.
Given Peng Bin’s current condition, he might not be able to hold on until his men can find a doctor.
He looked towards the town and said with a sullen face, "Go and bring the doctor out!"
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the men supporting him changed immediately.
"Boss... Boss, there is plague in this town. The doctor may have been infected. If we bring him out, not only will we die, but the plague will also spread."
Peng Bin certainly knew how dangerous it was to bring people out of the town, but he wanted to live!
“Go quickly!”
Everyone was afraid of death and the spread of the disease, so no one moved.
"Boss, I'll take you to the nearby town to find a doctor."
Although two people riding on the same horse will go slower.
But it would take much less time than bringing a doctor from a nearby town.
Peng Bin knew that if he did not agree, he would have to wait for death.
Just as he was about to agree, Ye Chutang appeared at the entrance of the town.
"No one can detoxify except me."
Peng Bin raised his head with great effort and looked at the stunning woman with a smile on her lips.
"Give me the antidote, or else..."
Ye Chutang interrupted Peng Bin's threat, "Come in, or you will die."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"stop!"
"Stop right there!"
"I order you to get out!"
Peng Bin roared angrily, but his voice became lower and lower, and his vision became darker and darker, as if he was about to faint.
He knew that Ye Chutang was a very skilled doctor.
She said no one could detoxify him, so no one could do it!
Thinking of this, he pushed away the men who were supporting him and staggered into Dayang Town.
Only by listening to Ye Chutang can you give yourself a chance of survival.
