If Doctor Gu was the one who poisoned them, he could continue to poison them and make the whole Jin State fall into a panic.
But now, he came forward to treat these patients. Was it just to buy people's hearts?
It was impossible. The people in Yunzhou were dying. Even if he wanted to buy people's hearts, it would not be very effective.
What was this person's goal?
The trip to Yunzhou, which had been full of twists and turns, was now covered with a thick layer of suspicion of conspiracy.
With something on their minds, they couldn't help but want to arrive in Yunzhou as soon as possible.
Even Xiu, who was the most lively, stayed in the carriage obediently every day and acted as Lin Mengya's little tail.
Baili Rui's research gradually came to an end. Not to mention anything else, Xiao Yixin, who looked like a ghost, had gradually returned to his original gentlemanly appearance. He had gradually returned to his original gentlemanly appearance, which showed that Baili Rui's research was still very useful.
With Baili Rui's support, Lin Mengya finally had some confidence in her heart.
"Your Highness, we are very close to the camp of the prefecture government of Yunzhou now. There are small groups of refugees around. Please stay in the carriage with peace of mind. "
Li Jia's warning came in from outside. Lin Mengya, who was reading a medical book, raised her head and subconsciously looked out of the carriage.
Yunzhou used to be the birthplace of the distinguished families of Dajin and also the granary of Dajin.
But now, the fields that had just sprouted were barren everywhere.
The commoners had lost their interest in farming. In the surrounding farmland, only birds were still happily pecking for food.
Although they were refugees, they only met a few people with sallow faces and muscles who were in a hurry on the way.
Yunzhou used to account for a quarter of the population of Yunzhou, but now, it was no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
It seemed that how to restore Yunzhou after this plague was a bigger problem.
"Don't embarrass them. If anyone needs food and money, we can give them."
Lin Mengya sighed in her heart. Now, the situation was more serious than she had imagined.
"Yes."
Li Jia immediately went to pass the order. However, this group of people was extremely conspicuous.
Occasionally, there were victims who wanted to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible. However, they gradually went deeper into the epidemic area, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
Lin Mengya and the others wanted to get rid of the spies because they wanted to hide the existence of their teacher.
When they arrived, the number of people who came to receive them gradually increased. It was becoming more and more difficult for those spies to get close and find out the truth.
The faint smell of mugwort in the air made Lin Mengya realize that they had arrived at the base camp for treating patients.
Finally, the carriage stopped, and there was a commotion outside.
Then, Long Tianhao lifted the curtain and looked hesitant.
"We're here. You and Xiu, be careful."
Lin Mengya nodded, but she was not aware of the hesitation in Long Tianhao's eyes.
However, when they stepped out of the carriage, they could not help but be shocked by what they saw.
Inside and outside the base camp, there were refugees who had lost their homes.
Although there was relief from the imperial court, the atmosphere of unease and despair still spread in this place.
When they saw Lin Mengya and her companions, their eyes lit up with curiosity.
Then, it was annihilated into dead silence.
What the plague brought to the people here was not only the pain of losing their families, but also the despair that made them disheartened.
Lin Mengya walked slowly through the crowd. Her heart trembled at the sight of those pairs of gloomy eyes.
"Madam, please save my child! He is only five months old! Please, give him a way to live. "
All of a sudden, a woman in cotton clothes with a dirty face rushed out of the crowd.
Her dry and dark hands tightly grasped the corner of Lin Mengya's dress, but she could not squeeze any tears out of her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your child?"
Lin Mengya hurriedly helped the woman up and immediately pointed to the back of the row of tents.
"It's … it's Doctor Gu who said that my son has been infected with the plague, so he must be buried alive. Otherwise, he will infect everyone … Madam, please save my child! "
What? There was such a thing?
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao looked at each other and hurriedly followed the woman to the back of the tent.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived there, they heard the cry of a baby.
In the open space behind the tent, a pit half as deep as a person had been dug.
Around the pit, there were many children who were still in swaddling clothes.
"My child! Child! Doctor Gu, please do me a favor! I'm willing to die for my child. Please, let my child go! "
Outside the tent, many soldiers stopped the crying women.
However, those heart-wrenching cries made one's heart wrench involuntarily.
"Didn't I tell you? These children are the murderers of the plague. It took a lot of effort for the plague to calm down. Do you want all the people in Dajin to die with you? Besides, they are just children. Even if they are sacrificed, there will be more sooner or later. "
A sloppy and somewhat dissatisfied voice came from the tent.
At this moment, Lin Mengya's heart was filled with anger, and it suddenly began to burn.
What was this! It was simply disregarding human life!
However, she misjudged Doctor Gu's reputation. As soon as she heard that these babies might infect her with the plague, she was shocked.
Hearing that these babies might infect her with the plague, a lot of refugees gradually gathered around.
And all of their faces were cold and cruel.
Even the last trace of human compassion in those cold eyes had disappeared.
"Doctor Gu, I beg you, please show mercy! My third son is only a month old. How can he be infected with the plague? Doctor Gu, I'm kowtowing to you. Please! "
In the camp, the mothers' pleas were particularly tragic.
However, even so, those who were afraid of being infected with the plague were still as indifferent.
In fact, some people were already rubbing their palms together. They wished that they could immediately send those innocent children to their deaths.
Lin Mengya couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She pulled the woman and approached the babies step by step.
"Who are you? Doctor Gu said that no one is allowed to get close! "
He didn't expect to be stopped by a soldier.
Lin Mengya glanced at him coldly and spat out a sentence from her cherry lips.
"Get lost."
Her cold tone and sudden burst of momentum made the soldier involuntarily take a step back.
While the soldier was stunned, Lin Mengya had taken the woman to the open space where the babies were placed.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo …"
Although they were still babies, it was probably a human instinct.
These children seemed to feel the danger around them, but they were weak and had no ability to resist at all.
They could only call their parents to protect them by crying.
Lin Mengya was extremely distressed, but at this time, she was even more angry.
What a bullshit Doctor Gu! How dare he ruin the lives of these innocent children!
Such a person didn't deserve to be a human!
"Who dares to make trouble here?"
The soldier went to the camp to report. After a while, a white voice ran out of the camp.
It seemed that this person was the so-called Doctor Gu.
However, he seemed to be different from what the herald had described.
Lin Mengya stared at that person unkindly. However, the next moment, Lin Mengya felt that this person might not be the Doctor Gu who saved people in danger.
Because there was no mustard seed in his body.
In the Shen Nung system, because of the previous herald, there was already a model of mustard seed composition.
However, from the moment she came in until now, she had not found any trace of mustard seed.
It could only mean that the person who used mustard seed might not be in the camp now.
Moreover, he hadn't appeared in a few days.
"Are you Doctor Gu?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at the guy in front of her with a little impatience.
This person was not ugly, but his facial features hid hostility. He did not look like a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded at all, but more like a hooligan.
"Yes, I'm Doctor Gu. Who are you? But who are you? All the people here were cured by me. Why, do you ignore everyone's lives for the sake of a few children? "
His words infuriated the crowd.
Almost everyone glared at Lin Mengya.
He didn't expect this guy to be shameless to this extent.
"Fine. Since you said that these children are the source of the plague, then why don't you tell me? Then I will look after the babies myself with their mother. In that case, even if we get infected, we'll be the ones who get infected first. However, if we all survived, Doctor Gu, shouldn't you give us an explanation? "
He had thought that Lin Mengya would confront him head-on, but he didn't expect that she would settle for the next best thing.
He started to negotiate with this shameless Doctor Gu.
Although Long Tianhao was not sure what Lin Mengya was going to do, he did not make a move. He just stood behind her to protect her.
"You - what are you! How can you refute my words? Come on, bury those scourges for me! "
Doctor Gu rolled his eyes and wanted to bury the patient forcibly.
But Lin Mengya showed him the princess's seal hanging on her waist.
"I'm Princess Yu, and also the special envoy sent by the emperor for disaster relief. Doctor Gu, for the sake of your meritorious service in treating the disease, I have always been tolerant of you. Now you say so, don't you take the emperor seriously? Moreover, I asked to take care of these children myself. Even if these children are really the source of the plague, I will be the one who gets sick. But why is it that even though I'm compromising like this, you're still forcing me? Or, if you don't kill these children, your lies will be exposed? "
