Song Zizhou and Song Qing rested in Pingyang County for half a day. On the morning of the second day, they rode directly to Yunlan Village.

After three days, they finally arrived at Yunlan Village.

There are still obstacles at the entrance of Yunlan Village, and no one is allowed to pass.

Zhou Peng and Xu Cai are still the ones staying behind today.

The two knew them, so they were very surprised when they saw Song Zizhou and Song Qing.

Xu Cai asked, "Why are you here again?"

Song Zizhou said, "We are going to Liuhe County. We are fully prepared this time and will not be infected. We hope you will let us pass."

When the two heard Song Zizhou's words, they all showed incredible expressions.

Xu Cai said, "Do you know what you're talking about? Liuhe County is the largest epidemic area. If you go there, even if you've made sufficient preparations, you'll definitely be infected. I advise you to go back and not make unnecessary sacrifices."

Song Qing explained what they were going to do. Afterward, he added, "We're also thinking about the people of Liuhe County. Of course, we're also thinking about you. If the plague over there is resolved, won't you be safe and relieved?"

Song Zizhou said, "Every day they exist will be a threat to you. You don't want to be infected with the plague someday, do you?"

Xu Cai said, "Of course we want to resolve the plague as soon as possible, but this time the plague came so suddenly. Even if you go, it will definitely be a waste of time!"

Song Zizhou said: "Don't worry about this, we have made sufficient preparations and we will not be infected."

After hearing what they both said, the two exchanged a glance before Xu Cai asked, "Then when the time comes, when you bring the people here, where will you return to Pingyang County? We in Yunlan Village can't let you pass!"

There are about eighty or ninety people in Yunlan Village, young and old, and they can't take any risks.

Song Qing said: "Then we can go around through the nearby mountains."

"That's okay!"

Xu Cai agreed, and after he and Zhou Peng lifted the obstacle away, they both mounted their horses and rode into Yunlan Village.

After passing Yunlan Village, they walked for another half day and arrived at Shuangyang Town, Liuhe County before dark.

There is only one Shuangyang Town in Liuhe County, plus four surrounding villages.

Shuangyang Town is located in the center of Liuhe County, so not only the people in the town were infected with the plague, but the four surrounding villages were also attacked by the plague.

They did not enter Shuangyang Town immediately. They rested for one night in the purple bamboo forest outside the town. After putting on three masks and outer clothes made of oilcloth, they entered Shuangyang Town.

Although they had made mental defenses, when they entered the town, they saw many rotting corpses on the roadside, even a lot of dog corpses.

A very pungent stench spread throughout the town. It was the stench of a corpse that could penetrate the skin and could not be washed away in a short time.

Although they were wearing masks, the smell was so invasive that they could smell the disgusting odor even through their masks.

Song Zizhou has a very good endurance. Even if it smells very bad, he can endure it. But Song Qingke is not like that. He covered his mouth and almost vomited.

This is an epidemic area, and we can't let Song Qing vomit, otherwise, he will definitely take off his mask to clean up, and once the mask is taken off, he will be infected immediately.

Too risky.

Song Zizhou had no choice but to take Song Qing and quickly leave the town where the stench was everywhere.

After they walked down this street and came to another street, although the stench was still there, it was much lighter.

But they still dare not take off their masks and can only endure it.

The houses in this town are all made of wood. It can be seen that it was very prosperous before the accident, but now the streets are empty and many shops have been smashed and in a mess.

They searched for a long time before they saw a young man lying on the side of the road.

However, when they saw this young man, they were extremely shocked!

Because his face and arms were covered with boils, his entire face was covered with boils, and even white and red liquids flowed out of those boils, which looked very disgusting.

Song Qing couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled Song Zizhou away quickly.

When we came to another street, we didn't see any corpses or people on the roadside. Moreover, this street was not damaged and looked very clean.

When they passed by one of the houses, they heard coughing coming from inside.

Judging from the voice, it's a female.

I took another look at the plaque hanging on the lintel and found that it was the ancestral hall.

The two looked at each other and came to the gate.

Song Qing raised his hand to knock on the door, and Song Zizhou spoke, "Is anyone inside? We are from Pingyang County. We have a doctor in our team, so we want to take three of us away so that the doctor can take a good look at us. Maybe he can even develop an antidote."

It became quiet inside instantly.

The woman who was coughing stopped coughing.

The next moment, the two doors in front of him opened, and an old man covered with red rashes poked his head out.

He looked at Song Qing and Song Zizhou and asked, "You are from Pingyang County? Why? Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

Song Zizhou explained the whole story. After hearing what he said, the old man opened the door directly.

Everyone in the ancestral hall stood behind the old man.

The old man said, "These are the survivors in the town, but there aren't many left. Do you want the young ones or the small ones?"

Song Zizhou frowned, "There are still little ones?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, there were ten children. I don't know what happened, but their symptoms were milder, while the younger ones had more severe symptoms. As for the older ones, most of them died."

This plague is really too severe. There were so many people in the town, but now only these are left.

Song Zizhou's breathing stagnated, his heart heavy. He said, "One child, one young one, with milder symptoms, and then another one with more severe symptoms."

"Okay!" The old man nodded, entered the ancestral hall, and called three people out.

One was a little boy about ten years old, one was a young man in his thirties, and the other was an old man about sixty years old.

Everyone's symptoms vary in severity, and the most visible symptom is coughing.

Song Zizhou looked at the old man and said, "Old man, we will leave first. Don't worry, we will do our best to develop an antidote. You all just have to be patient."

Song Qing said: "Old man, the air in this ancestral hall is not circulating. You should go outside. The air outside is better and there is no stench. I think you will feel better this way."

The old man nodded. "I understand. Thank you for your advice. You can go ahead. Please make sure you develop medicine to cure us."

"Okay." Song Qing nodded, let the three people say goodbye to them, and then took them away.

After they left, a young man in the ancestral hall asked, "Chief, are we just going to let them take away like this? What if they are criminals?"

Patriarch Chen sat on the straw-covered ground, looked at the young man who had asked the question, and sighed heavily. "They are willing to take the risk to save us, how could they be bad people? They are our only hope now, and we must trust them."
