Chapter 163 Closing the City
In Jiangzhou Prefecture City, from the highest tower at the city gate, you can overlook the brilliant night scene of the city.
A handsome man dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, with a silver belt around his waist and a white jade pendant attached. Undeterred by the cold wind, he stood on the third-floor platform, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance. His flowing robes revealed an elegant and otherworldly appearance.
He had a precious sword on his back, not a mahogany sword. Just as he was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, two more figures appeared on the third floor.
The people who came were two disciples of Xuantian Palace, Li Nanxuan and Song Ming, and the one carrying a sword was Su Jiyu, the third disciple of Xuantian Palace.
The second brother, Li Nanxuan, was in his thirties, of medium height, slightly plump, and had a blessed look. He was also wearing a blue and white Taoist robe. When he and Ji Yu stood together, it was like a buyer's show and a seller's show.
The fourth, Song Ming, was twenty-four years old, tall and slender. He also wore a blue and white Taoist robe, with a gourd dangling from his waist, emitting a fragrant medicinal aroma. His hair was tied up high in a bun, with a few strands cascading casually across his face, adding a touch of uninhibited style. Song Ming's sharp eyebrows and bright eyes were much more casual and unrestrained than Su Jiyu's.
Su Jiyu was delighted to see his two fellow disciples: "Second Senior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, why did you come just now? I have been waiting for you here for two days. If you don't come, I will leave by myself."
Li Nanxuan: "Third Junior Brother, is this letter true? Is Xiaoqi really not dead?"
Song Ming: "Third Brother, we brothers have searched every corner of the Great Qi State, but there is no news of him. Could this be another conspiracy by those people?"
Su Jiyu sighed, "We'll know if it's true once we go there. No matter if it's a conspiracy or not, if it's a fraud, no matter who it is, the three of us will grind them to ashes and avenge Xiao Qi."
The three men's eyes were remarkably determined. That's right! Master had entrusted Xiao Qi to them before he left, and they'd actually lost him. How would they explain this to Master when he returned?
"Let's go, no matter if it's a ghost or a god, let's go and take a look."
The three of them leaped over the city wall and rushed towards Yongkang County.
The gates of Yongkang County were closed.
Magistrate Yu was frantic at the county office. All the doctors in the county were helpless against the epidemic. He could only close the city gates to prevent the epidemic from spreading to the county.
"What should we do? The notice has been posted for three days, and there's still no cure for the plague?"
The lawyer was also helpless. If he had listened to the people in Daxi Village and isolated the patients, the situation would not have become uncontrollable.
"Sir, the disease has now spread to Daxing Town. We must send people to set up a defense line and prevent the disease from spreading to the county town."
"Yes, yes, yes! Send people to intercept them on the road immediately. Seal off Daxing Town and block the city gates. Send people to surround Daxing Town and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Anyone who dares to escape will be executed on the spot."
The lawyer shuddered in his heart. County Magistrate Yu was timid and cowardly, and he was timid in his actions, but he was willing to do something to get himself killed.
Mu Qingcheng quickly received news of the city's closure. She took Feng Zhishang with her to discuss matters with the village chief. Daxi Village had contained the epidemic, but it hadn't been cured. Therefore, during this emergency, it was best not to allow outsiders to leave the village or enter without permission. A checkpoint would be set up at the village entrance, with guards assigned to take turns guarding it for twelve hours.
What she didn't say was that once the government sealed off the city, the nearby villages would be in chaos, and Daxi Village would soon be attacked, so they had to make plans early.
The village chief and Li Zheng obeyed Mu Qingcheng's words, and the villagers acted quickly. A tall wooden fence was erected and reinforced on both sides with sacks of sand, leaving only a small door in the middle for entry and exit.
Before the snow started, Mu Qingcheng sent Mo Yu up the mountain to collect as much Isatis root as possible. She also had the clothing processing workshop continuously produce masks.
Mu Qingcheng was upset, feeling that something terrible was about to happen. The countless people in Daxing Town were too pitiful. It was all because of that County Magistrate Yu. There was a reason why his last name was Yu.
The heavy snow fell all day and all night, making things even worse for the people of Daxing Town.
Overnight, the entire town of Daxing was covered in snow. The people went out to sweep the snow early in the morning, smiling happily. No one could have imagined that they were about to face a disaster.
Some people pushed snow and tried to throw it out of the city, but they found that the city gate was blocked. The people in the city didn't know what had happened, and they all gathered at the city gate to discuss the matter.
"What's going on? Why are the city gates closed?"
"Something must have happened!"
"I don't live in town. I'm here to take my child to see a doctor. How can I get home?"
"I'm here to see the doctor, too."
"Oh no! I came from Chunshui Town. There are even more patients there, and we can't even buy medicine. We had no choice but to come to Daxing Town overnight. What should we do?"
"I'm from Chunshui Town too. What should I do?"
"Now that you mention it, I remember that our next-door neighbors all fell ill, and they all had the same symptoms."
"Oh no! This disease is not contagious!" Finally, someone felt something was wrong and wondered if the city lockdown was related to the sick people.
"Could this be a plague?"
"Oh! This is terrible! There's a plague! Someone in Daxing Town has the plague!"
I don't know who revealed the secret, but silence fell all around after hearing this.
Half an hour!
"plague!"
"plague!"
"Someone has the plague..."
"Damn the government! They're going to seal us off and let us all die here."
"No, no, I can't stay here. Let us out. We are not from Daxing Town."
"Let us out..."
"It's them!" The people of Daxing Town were frantic: "It's them! They are the ones who brought the plague to us."
One sentence can cause a thousand waves!
"Kill them..."
"Kill them..."
The few people who just shouted that they were not from Daxing Town panicked. Seeing the people around them gradually becoming more ferocious, they were scared and ran away.
There was a plague in Daxing Town, and the news that they were sealed off in the city by the government spread to every corner in an instant.
Everyone gathered at the city gate with their families, trying every possible way to break down the gate. If they wanted to survive, they had to escape.
Someone climbed up the city wall and soon found that the outside was full of government soldiers, with bows and arrows ready to shoot. If anyone dared to jump down, they would be shot to death immediately.
When the people in the city heard this, they felt as if the sky had fallen. Oh my God! This means they won't be able to survive at all.
"Officials, please release my son! He's not sick. Please let him live!"
Instantly, the sound of wailing and wailing filled the air, and all the women knelt down with their children and kowtowed. They could die, but they couldn't watch their children die.
The men also burst into tears. They were so incompetent that they couldn't even protect their wives, children and the elderly.
The originally peaceful Daxing Town was now like a hell on earth.
Who will save them? They have never done anything harmful to others. Why does God want to kill them all?
"Fight them!"
If they stayed, they would die, and if they jumped, they would die too. If so many of them jumped together, maybe one of them would be lucky enough to survive!
"Yes! Let's fight. We have more people than them. Let's jump down and fight them."
The people on the city wall began to get excited.
The officers and soldiers below the city were actually trembling in their hearts. These were innocent civilians! Were they really going to shoot them to death?
