"Where is this?" When Gu Yan woke up, she found that she was no longer in Zuixianlou.
"Wake up, little drunkard. Drink the sobering soup quickly." Ji Xiaoju said as she walked towards Gu Yan with the sobering soup.
"Where are we going?" Gu Yan took the hangover soup and drank it in one gulp.
She woke up in the carriage and was now by a stream in the suburbs. Gu Liang and Gu Can were fishing, Ji Xiaoju was making tea by the fire. Xiaohua was lying on the small tea table, wagging her tail in boredom.
"We've finished watching the lanterns and the crisis has been resolved. If we stay any longer, the Monster Catchers will come looking for us. It's time to continue traveling to other places. We haven't decided where to go yet. Where do you want to go?" Ji Xiaoju asked.
"Where are we going? Let's go to Jiangnan. It's a land of fish and rice, and the scenery there is beautiful." Gu Yan thought for a while and said.
"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River. The lotus leaves are so lush. It's the season for picking lotus." Gu Can said.
"Then let's go to Jiangnan?" Ji Xiaoju asked. Gu Liang naturally had no objection.
"Hey, hey, hey, fish, fish!" Gu Liang had been fishing for an hour and finally caught a fish. He was so happy that he felt like a child weighing over 100 pounds.
"Meow meow meow (There's fish to eat!)" Xiaohua was so excited.
"You greedy cat, we haven't even eaten the fish Daddy caught yet." Gu Yan went up to Xiao Hua and held her in his arms. He looked like he was going to stroke her until she was bald!
"Meow (Let me go!)" Xiaohua struggled hard.
"Fat Orange, let me remind you again, you are a female cat." Gu Can felt that Xiaohua had gender identity disorder.
"Okay, okay, this fish is so big, let's make three dishes with one fish today. Cancan likes to eat chopped pepper fish head, so we can also make clear soup fish balls and pickled cabbage fish." Ji Xiaoju quickly arranged the menu.
"That's great, Mom, I'll do it with you." Gu Yan excitedly threw Xiaohua aside.
"Meow! (You woman, you scared me to death, meow!)" Xiaohua ran to Ji Xiaoju angrily for comfort, but found that she was immersed in cooking and no one paid any attention to her. She had no choice but to run to Gu Can's side with grievance.
Gu Can scooped it up with a smile. She lay on the lounge chair, guarding her fishing rod. The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was not too dry, and she was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
Guan Yunbai, who followed them, was on the mountain, watching them.
"It's so leisurely and comfortable. It's really enviable." Guan Yunbai sighed.
"Sir, do you want to follow them?"
"No need. If we follow them too closely, they'll find out. If they're going to Jiangnan, then we should give them a big gift. We can take action in Tonghua Town. We'll just go to Shanwu County and wait."
"Yes."
Guan Yunbai took his men away.
"The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. It seems that we can't travel all the way to enjoy the mountains and rivers." Gu Can stroked Xiaohua's fur from time to time. Gu Can took out the jade talisman given by Xiao Yuanjing.
'Tonghua Town, Shanwu County'
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Yuanjing immediately turned around and rode as fast as he could to Tonghua Town.
Except for Gu Yan, who knew nothing about it, even the fat orange flower knew that there would be a tough battle to fight. After eating, Gu Yan wanted to lie down and bask in the sun for a while, but Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were already preparing to set off.
"In such a hurry? Didn't we agree to go slowly?" Gu Yan asked.
"Look at the sky, it's going to rain soon." Gu Can let her see for herself.
"It's still a sunny day." Gu Yan looked for a long time but didn't feel like it was going to rain.
"Boom" thunder sounded, the sun was still bright, and raindrops as big as beans fell down.
"It's really raining!" Gu Yan also quickly joined the cleaning team.
"I almost got soaked. The weather is so unkind. It rains as soon as it says it will." Gu Yan got into the car, still muttering to himself about the weather.
"If you practice well, it won't be difficult to summon the wind and rain. Who told you to fish for three days and dry the net for two days?"
"Hmph, I still have you guys." Gu Yan quickly pulled Gu Can's arm and acted coquettishly.
"It's useless to act coquettishly with me. It just depends on whether God will give you face for your coquettish behavior." Gu Can didn't buy it.
Three days later, the family arrived in Shanwu County.
"Why won't you let us in?" Gu Yan and the city guards argued.
"Yan'er, it's you. Uncle Gu, Aunt Ji, Cancan." Who else could be walking towards her but Guan Yunbai.
"Guan Yunbai, why are you here?" Gu Yan asked.
"There is a plague in Tonghua Town, and Shanwu County is now under full martial law. Don't you know?" Guan Yunbai said.
"Plague, how could it be? And why can they get close?"
"Those are supplies for the county. You'd better not go in." Guan Yunbai advised.
"We all know a little about medicine, let us go in and take a look." Gu Liang stepped forward and said.
"this?"
"Hey, stop hesitating and take us in quickly." Gu Yan said.
"Okay, then you come with me." Guan Yunbai had no choice but to compromise.
"Hey, wait a minute." Xiao Yuanjing also arrived.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Guan Yunbai was a little surprised to see Xiao Yuanjing appear, but only a little.
"I heard something was happening here, so I rushed over to see if I could help." Xiao Yuanjing jumped off his horse.
"Then let's go in together." Gu Can said.
The group followed Guan Yunbai and went to the government office to stay.
"The plague in Tonghua Town is spreading fiercely. It has spread throughout the town in just a few days. Now everyone in Shanwu County is in danger. I was transferred here at the last minute."
"Without further ado, let's go straight to Tonghua Town. You can tell us the details on the way."
"it is good."
After tidying up a bit at the government office, they rushed to Tonghua Town.
It had only been a few days, but the entire Tonghua Town seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, with paper money and white banners floating everywhere. So many people had passed away at once that they no longer had the energy to cry, and they didn't even know if they could live to see tomorrow.
Filled with sadness, the desolate Tonghua Town,
"Shu'er!!!" With a cry of surprise, Gu Can and the others rushed over immediately.
A woman in mourning held a child, about seven or eight years old, in her arms. Gu Can stepped forward to feel the child's pulse. He shook his head at the others. The child was no longer breathing.
“My tree!!”
After arriving at the quarantine area, several people went to see the patients separately. The symptoms of these patients were that they were all healthy people who suddenly fainted, and then their whole body became swollen, their eyes were red, and they couldn't eat anything. But within two or three days, even the strongest people would become emaciated, and then only a layer of skin would be left covering the skeleton, and they would die.
The time from onset to death was so short that there was no possibility of treatment. The source of infection has not yet been determined, and not all people living together have developed the disease.
"This disease is too strange. There is no time for treatment at all. The time between onset and death is too short." Gu Yan said worriedly.
"We can't give up no matter what. Dad and Mom, you go find those bodies that haven't been cremated and buried yet and do a re-autopsy. Guan Yunbai, I'll write a list of epidemic prevention matters later, and you ask the city guards to strictly implement it every day. Yan'er, Xiao Yuanjing, you go find these medicinal herbs, the more the better. However, most of them are on the cliffs, so you must be careful." Gu Can said.
"Okay." No one had any objection to Gu Can's arrangement.
Gu Can stayed alone in the isolation area, giving acupuncture to the most seriously ill patients every day, buying time to study the prescription.
Every minute and every second could mean the difference between life and death for the patients. The heavy rain that had been pouring down for days pounded against the houses, making a dull sound, as if wailing for the misfortune of the town.
"Cancan, you haven't slept for a whole day and night. Take a rest first." Ji Xiaoju brought a bowl of hot soup and advised softly with concern.
"Mom, I'm fine. Now is not the time to rest." Gu Can didn't even raise his head, concentrating on studying the prescription in his hand. From time to time, patients were carried in, and Gu Can would prepare to give acupuncture.
"We have examined all the bodies of the patients we found, and it should be the vampire worms." Ji Xiaoju said.
"It's exactly what I guessed." Gu Can was not surprised.
"You guessed it a long time ago."
"Well, vampire worms are the lowest creatures of the demon clan. They are difficult to observe with the naked eye. Once they enter the human body, they can quickly suck the person dry and then split into countless demon worms to look for other targets. This thing is impossible to guard against and cannot be eliminated unless the entire Tonghua Town is burned down." Gu Can knew about vampire worms.
"Is this the only way?" Ji Xiaoju frowned.
