Chapter 73 The Village Without Anyone
The car arrived on the street.
This time, Yu Wanwan no longer had to hear about what was happening on the street from other people.
And you can witness it with your own eyes.
The masks and gloves she brought have already been distributed.
Soldiers wearing masks and gloves maintained order on the street.
If you see people coming out of their homes, go over to them and persuade them to go back home while keeping a distance.
Apart from a few scattered civilians, the entire street was almost entirely populated by soldiers.
When the soldiers and the few scattered civilians saw their vehicle, they would stop and look at it curiously.
When they saw Zhou Nan open the car window, stick his hand out, and wave to them, telling them to stand to the sides and make way, they suddenly realized what was going on.
So it was something from the General's mansion again.
Although Yu Wanwan initially instructed those who received the grain to keep it a secret when she arranged for them to deliver it.
However, as time went on and they received more food, the news gradually spread.
Most people know that the old lady of the general's mansion met a deity. The deity not only cured her but also gave her food, water, and many strange but delicious foods.
"This must be something given by the gods again. Is this a car?"
"This car is really beautiful. The body of the car even glows, just like a mirror, and it can even reflect people."
"Now there is a water shortage, even grass is not growing, cattle and horses have all died and been eaten, and horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carriages have not been seen on the streets for a long time. This carriage is very good, it can run without the help of oxen and horses."
After the crowd stood on both sides and made way for the road.
With the obstruction gone, Yu Wanwan and her group's car began to accelerate.
All that could be seen were plumes of exhaust fumes, followed by another wave of sighs.
"The car was so fast, it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"The things that immortals use are truly amazing."
The car attracted quite a few glances as it drove by.
The number of soldiers who stopped to watch also increased.
While observing the road conditions, Yu Wanwan also glanced at the soldiers on both sides of the road.
Suddenly he frowned.
Several soldiers were bent over, coughing, and they looked like they were coughing very badly.
Some soldiers glanced at their vehicles with envy, then suddenly turned away and vomited.
Soldiers walking among the people would inevitably encounter many sick individuals, greatly increasing the likelihood of them contracting the disease themselves.
Patrolling the capital was their official duty, and they dared not rest without orders from above. Even if they were sick, they could only continue to perform their duties.
At that time, they were the only ones who could move around and have contact with the people.
Once they get sick, anyone who comes into contact with them afterward will also be infected.
If soldiers come into contact with the infected civilians later, they will be infected again.
He then went on to contact other ordinary people... and the vicious cycle continued endlessly.
Yu Wanwan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
"Zhou Nan,"
Yu Wanwan stopped the car, rolled down the window, and leaned out to talk to Zhou Nan, who was clearing the way.
"Go to the palace or find the person in charge of this outbreak and tell him to arrange for the soldiers to be examined as soon as possible. Don't let the soldiers patrol while they are sick, so as to prevent them from spreading the disease."
Zhou Nan hasn't had a chance to touch the steering wheel since the trip started?
Going crazy.
Even though I couldn't touch the steering wheel, at least I could see it.
But now we can't even see it anymore.
They couldn't even participate in this first and most unique trip.
"Yes, Madam, I will go right away."
As Zhou Nan got off the bus, he glared fiercely at He Ping.
If he hadn't been hogging the steering wheel, he would be the one driving now.
Those who went to handle matters became peaceful.
Having explained everything that needed to be explained, Yu Wanwan didn't pay much attention to what was happening on the street afterward.
She was focused on driving.
There were no dedicated roads, and a few soldiers and some unruly civilians could still be seen scattered around the streets.
In order to avoid hitting people, the car's speed was slightly limited, and it took more than half an hour to reach the city gate of the capital.
In the past two years, it has become difficult to enter the city, but leaving the city is still relatively free.
Especially upon seeing such a strange-looking vehicle, even the soldiers guarding the city gate could deduce that it must have come from the residence of the General of the Cavalry.
Some time ago, a soldier on the city gate fainted from hunger, fell down, and died.
During this period, everyone was able to eat their fill and was in high spirits. Even their families were able to eat their fill and drink their fill, all thanks to the general's wife.
She selflessly took out the food that the gods had given her and shared it with them.
That's why they can live the life they have today.
Upon seeing the general's carriage in the distance, they opened the city gate.
This will allow Yu Wanwan and her group of five vehicles to pass through smoothly.
After leaving the city gates of Beijing, Yu Wanwan felt more directly the devastation that the drought had brought to the people of this land.
Outside the city gates were vast stretches of cracked, dry land, and even the nearby mountains were bare, leaving only a patch of cracked yellow earth.
It was desolate to the extreme.
A gust of wind blew by, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The yellow dust obscured the windshield of the car, making it impossible to see the road.
It took several wipers to restore visibility.
We walked for quite a while without seeing a single person.
“I heard from my elder brother that when the drought first started, quite a few people fled to the capital. At that time, the emperor did not order the soldiers to close the city gates.”
Every day, many people would wait outside the city gates to enter the city, but gradually, the capital city was also overwhelmed with its own problems, and the city gates had no choice but to be closed.
Unless they have proper travel documents, ordinary people from outside the city are not allowed to enter.
"The common people couldn't get in, and the people inside the capital were even less willing to go out. Gradually, there were hardly any people outside the city gates."
When the fourth brother saw Yu Wanwan staring outside as if searching for something, he figured she wanted to know the answer, so he explained it to her.
"So that's the case."
The car continued driving for a while longer.
Finally, we saw a cluster of houses.
The low thatched or mud-brick houses were not built close together.
It looks like a village.
The village was quiet, and even when Yu Wanwan and her five conspicuous cars passed by, no one came out to watch.
It was as if there was no one else in the village.
The village roads are narrow and surrounded by many large, uneven stones.
The group drove very slowly.
Suddenly, I saw what looked like a human head behind a large rock.
At first, Yu Wanwan didn't care.
It would be abnormal if there were truly no people in the village.
The fact that people live there actually indicates that this is a normal village.
She kept driving, with no intention of stopping.
However, she changed her mind when a child appeared behind the rock.
The child should be around five or six years old.
He was very dirty, but not thin; in fact, he was a bit chubby. His big, round eyes curiously examined Yu Wanwan and their car.
Not thin, even a little chubby, which is enough to attract attention.
