Chapter 273 Really
The thatched hut could not accommodate all the people brought by Yongning Hou, so he selected a few people to go in with him, and the rest of the people stayed outside.
Facts have proved that Yongning Hou's allocation was correct. As soon as he came in, together with the several guards and two doctors behind him, there was no room for anyone else.
It is morning now, the sun is shining brightly, and the sunlight is just right. Plus, the place is shabby, and when you look up you can see a big hole above the eaves of the thatched hut. The sun shines in, and the things in the hut are clearly illuminated by the light.
From the looks of it, there was nothing here except simple furniture, let alone anyone other than them.
Marquis Yongning frowned. Could it be that because this place was too dilapidated, the original residents here moved out?
He intended to search people's houses wherever he went, and he didn't take the incident of no one in the thatched hut to heart.
Marquis Yongning turned around and left with his men, and by the way, they simply repaired the crumbling wooden door. Of course, it was the guard who originally knocked on the door who repaired it, and he was quite fast, and it was obviously not the first time he had repaired the door.
After the repair was completed, the group went to the nearby house to check on other people.
Marquis Yongning stood in front of a small courtyard and ordered someone to knock on the door. The door was opened and he lowered his head to look. Behind the door was a childish and innocent face. It was a little boy about eight or nine years old.
It seemed that he had never seen them before and thought they were bad people, with a look of fear on his face. Marquis Yongning was helpless, but he tried to keep a gentle expression on his face. He looked at the little boy behind the door and said softly, "We are not bad people. Can you open the door a little?" The doctor behind him looked at him and twitched his lips, thinking that generally bad people say that they are not bad people, and the expressions on their faces are almost the same as Marquis Yongning's expression now.
The little boy seemed to think so too. Looking at the expression of Yongning Hou, his face became even more frightened.
Because he was too scared, the little boy actually closed the door of the house again.
The gentle smile on Yongning Hou's face froze: "..."
He turned around to look at the people he brought with him, and saw that they lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Then he knocked on the door himself without getting tired of it.
The door was soon opened again, but this time it was opened by a man in his thirties.
When the man saw them, he was a little stunned, then he thought of the news he had learned earlier, and then he took Xiao Ou with him and welcomed them into the house. When he took them away, he did not forget to apologize for what happened just now, and bowed and smiled, "My son is timid, and I made you laugh. I apologize to you all here, and I hope you will forgive me."
Yongning Hou shook his head and said it was okay. They didn't need to get angry over the same child.
Then he thought of his purpose, so he asked again the question he had asked countless times, "Has anyone in your house been infected with the plague?"
The man was waiting for the words of Yongning Marquis. Upon hearing them, he immediately put on a sad expression and said quickly, "Yes, yes, it has been three days in a row. Sometimes she is crazy and sometimes she is unconscious. I am really helpless. Fortunately, the adults came to her in time, otherwise my wife would be really finished today!"
Yongning Hou looked serious and didn't say anything more, just asked him to lead the way.
After all, Marquis Yongning was not a doctor, and the room inside was occupied by the wife of the man standing next to him. It would not be appropriate for him to go in alone, so only the doctor and two female guards were allowed in.
Of course, these two female guards were lent to him by the emperor. Now that I think about it, the emperor is more meticulous.
After waiting for a while, the two doctors and guards came out from the inner room.
The man standing next to Yongning Hou saw them come out so quickly, and looked at him in surprise, as if asking why.
Yongning Hou simply said: "The more people we treat, the faster the process will be."
The man nodded, then raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "Young man, can you come in and see my wife?"
Marquis Yongning said nothing this time, but turned his gaze to the doctor.
One of the doctors he was looking at stood up and answered with lowered eyes: "The patient who just took the medicine is not in a stable condition yet. It is easy to be infected if you go in at this time. Of course, if you have to go in, you can take this first..."
At this point, the doctor paused, then reached into his medicine box, took out a small bottle, took out the medicine from the bottle and continued: "...If you must go in, you need to take this pill beforehand, and wear a handkerchief like me on your face, so you won't be infected."
The man raised his eyes and looked at the group of people. Only then did he notice that everyone here was wearing a scarf on their face. Previously, he only noticed that some people dared to go out during the plague period.
After noticing the handkerchief, the man couldn't help but think that the group of people in front of him seemed to be sent by the city lord. The city lord's subordinates were all officials, and he couldn't afford to offend them, so he naturally had to treat them well.
He didn't say anything, and the doctor turned his eyes to Marquis Yongning, waiting for his next instructions.
Yongning Hou glanced at the man and saw him looking at him expectantly. He thought that the handkerchief and the pills were not a big deal, so he nodded and asked the doctor to give him the two things. The doctor did not hesitate and handed the two things to the man.
The man thanked her with gratitude on his face, then turned around and walked immediately into the room.
This shows that his heart is sincere.
Marquis Yongning withdrew his gaze and was thinking about taking his people away from here to somewhere else. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw the little boy hiding on the stone pillar in front of him, looking at him with a bit of trepidation and expectation in his eyes.
Anxious or looking forward to it?
Marquis Yongning raised his eyebrows, thinking of the frightened look on the little boy's face just now. Logically speaking, his nervousness was understandable, but if he was looking forward to it, could it be that he was expecting him to leave quickly?
Even though he thought this in his heart, Yongning Hou finally walked towards the little boy.
He walked closer and closer, but he didn't see the little boy take a step back in fear. Yongning Hou narrowed his eyes, thinking that the little boy must have something wrong, so he came to him.
Yongning Hou: "I see you've been standing here watching me. Tell me, what happened? Or do you need my help?"
Hearing this, the little boy reflexively wanted to hide behind the pillar, but he finally held back. The boy blinked, and the emotion in his clear and bright eyes remained the same, but this time it was filled with a bit of suppressed joy. He shrank his head, his eyes sparkling, and asked carefully, "Really?"
