Chapter 30
Early the next morning, Lu Helin and his party packed their luggage and prepared a lot of food for the road.

After tidying up.

Lu Helin took one last look at the small courtyard that was full of traces of their lives, and closed the door.

The horse's hooves made a "da da" sound, and slowly drove towards the outside of the town.

In fact, it has already begun to see clues from today.

The pedestrians on the street are different from the past.

Some people even had different expressions on their faces.

Some, like them, packed their bags and prepared to flee to a distant place.

But there are still unbelievers.

There are stalls and shops open.

I thought it was just a common disease and it would not be contagious.

Seeing all this, Lu Helin sighed a little, she was unable to warn so many people.

All she can do is protect herself and those she cares about.

No one would like to see the life in ruins, but only hope that God has the virtue of good life.

The carriage gradually drove out of the flat town road.

The road gradually became rough.

And Lu Helin in the carriage began to feel bad again.

Bump and bump.

She felt like her ass was gone.

My head also started to feel dizzy.

The whole person began to become weak.

Lu Cangling found out when Lu Helin was exhausted.

He moved his eyebrows slightly.

Then he took out a thick quilt from the ring and spread it in the carriage.

And put a lot of pillows around the back of the carriage.

After doing all this well, he gently woke up Lu Helin who forced himself to sleep: "Sister, try leaning on it."

Lu Helin, who was being jolted dizzily by the carriage, looked up, and saw that there was suddenly a place piled up with bedding and pillows in the carriage.

It looks very comfortable.

"A Ling, what did you do?"

Lu Helin's voice is still a little weak, although he has barely cheered up.

"Well, sister, you can sit on it."

Lu Cangling looked at Lu Helin's pale face because he was not used to it, and felt distressed for a while.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work, A Ling."

After Lu Helin finished speaking, he sat up, leaning on the soft pillow, Lu Helin suddenly felt as if it was really comfortable.

Now I really want to sleep.

Unknowingly, accompanied by the fragrance of Xiangwan, Lu Helin had already fallen asleep.

And Lu Cangling leaned against the side of the car, slightly rolled up the curtain on the window, and quietly looked at the scroll in his hand.

Lu Helin is a typical person who falls asleep when he gets in the car and wakes up when he stops.

So when Xiao Jing stopped the carriage, Lu Helin woke up in a daze.

"what happened?"

Lu Cangling also put down the book in his hand, and asked Xiao Jing outside the car.

"Master, girl, there is a post here. Shall we have something to eat before we go on our way?"

Xiao Jing drove the car for a long time, but it didn't take much effort, otherwise it would be useless to practice with the young master.

It's just that he heard the girl's voice before, and felt that the girl seemed to be a little unbearable, so he thought that since he had encountered a post station, he should rest and wait until he was on the road.

This kind of post station on the official road is very safe, and basically pedestrians who are on the road will go in and rest if they are able.

If you are tired of eating the food you brought, it is good to have a change of taste once in a while.

Lu Helin and the others naturally have food on their bodies, but they only eat it when they have to. If they have serious meals, they still eat decent meals.

"Okay, let's eat something, it's probably time for dinner."

Lu Helin didn't refuse, got off the carriage and walked into the post station.

Only Lu Cangling followed in.

When Qingqiu stopped the carriage, he ran out quickly and went to look for food for himself.

Isn't there another Xiao Jing?

Why doesn't he come in?

Just as Lu Helin was about to turn around and go back to ask Xiao Jing to come to eat, he heard Lu Cangling say: "Sister, when you are away from home, you have to leave someone to watch over the carriage. We'll take some back for him after we finish eating."

"Okay."

Lu Helin thinks about it too, he still has to be careful when going out.

Lu Helin and Lu Cangling simply ordered a few side dishes and finished them quickly.

Before paying the bill, the waiter at the post station made another meal, packed it up, and brought it to Xiao Jing in the carriage.

After eating and returning to the car, Lu Helin lay back in the seat Lu Cangling had prepared for her.

Hey, it's so pleasant.

Xiao Jing was eating outside the car, so he is not in a hurry to leave now.

Besides, Qingqiu hasn't come back yet.

Waiting for Qingqiu to come back before going on the road again.

And Lu Helin doesn't want to hurry now, otherwise she feels that the food she just ate will be turned upside down.

Waiting for Xiao Jing to eat the food outside the car, and tidy himself up again, Qingqiu also came back slowly, sitting on the side of the car on the other side.

Waiting for Xiao Jing to drive on the road.

Xiao Jing yelled into the carriage: "Young master, young lady, please sit down and get ready to go."

There was a low hum from inside the carriage, and Xiao Jing drove the carriage slowly.

As soon as the carriage started to move, Lu Helin also started her sleepy plan.

After sleeping, it was time for the next resting point.

Lu Helin felt very good, very good! !

Maybe it's because he slept for too long in the morning, now Lu Helin really doesn't feel sleepy.

No matter how I slept, I couldn't sleep.

I just stared blankly with my eyes open.

Thinking about going to Jizhou.

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that since he was going to Jizhou, he naturally had to tell the location of A Ling's house.

As soon as he thought about it, he handed the land deed and key of the Jizhou house in his backpack to Lu Cangling.

"A Ling, this is where we will stay in Jizhou."

Lu Helin didn't explain too much this time, she thought that A Ling must know the origin of this house.

Sure enough, Lu Cangling simply responded, and put the land deed and key into the ring. He didn't care where he lived, as long as he had a place to stay.

Lu Helin spent seven days in a coma in the carriage, and the carriage also drove for seven days.

In this kind of state city, the city gate is checked by officers and soldiers.

Lu Cangling showed the officers and soldiers his proof of participating in the government examination, and naturally let them in.

Xiao Jing entered the city, but he didn't know where he was going.

"Go to the west of the city."

Lu Cangling's voice came from inside the car at the right time.

"Yes, son."

Xiao Jing naturally didn't know where the west of the city was going, but he would know if he asked.

The small town is no bigger than the city of Zhou. It takes almost an hour to go from the east to the west of the city, and then to go from the beginning to the end.

What's more, Xiao Jing didn't know the way, so he had to ask questions all the way to the west of the city.

"My lord, where are we going?"

This time Lu Cangling didn't say anything in the car, but got out of the car, and sat on the side of the car with Xiao Jing, "Go to this place."

What Lu Cangling took out was a land deed, on which was written the address of one of the mansions in the west of Jizhou City.

It's easy to find when you reach the west of the city.

After a while, Xiao Jing and Lu Cangling found the house.

The vermilion lacquered gate and two stone lions outside the gate look quite rich.

Since Xiao Jing could remember, he had never seen such a wealthy mansion.

He thought that the house of the girl and the son in Huai'an Town was good enough, but compared with the house in front of him, it was nothing.

"That's it."

Lu Cangling looked at the address on the land deed again and confirmed the location.

Get up again and go inside the car.

At this time, Lu Helin was actually awake, but he just didn't want to move. The bumpy days were finally over.

Lu Cangling took a look, with a smile in his eyes, "Sister, we are here."

"Yes, it's here. Finally, I don't have to ride in this carriage anymore."

Lu Helin sighed and paused.

Still got up, and followed Lu Cangling to get out of the car.

When they got out of the carriage and opened the courtyard door, they heard Xiao Jing say: "Young Master and Miss, please wait a moment, I will open the side door and lead the carriage in."

"Go ahead."

There are only three of them now, Xiao Jing went to the side door, so they naturally had to wait for the hired carriage.

Xiao Jing's movements were quick, and he came out from the side after a while.

When Xiao Jing led the carriage to the side door, Lu Helin and Lu Cangling also walked into the vermilion-painted gate.

In the courtyard.

I saw that the entrance is a zigzag corridor, and the stones under the steps form a long road.

It is the classic style of the ancient compound.

In Lu Helin's eyes, Sanjin's yard is simply too big.

No wonder the ancients had to have servants. In such a big house, it would be scary just to live in the master's house.

However, the good thing about this house is that there are all kinds of furniture in it, but there is a little dust, and it will be fine after cleaning.

Lu Helin originally said that he and Lu Cangling lived in the same yard.

But Lu Cangling said that he is a man and should live in the front yard.

So in the end it was Lu Helin who lived in the inner courtyard, Lu Cangling who lived in the front yard, and Xiao Jing who lived in the backyard.

Qingqiu lives with Lu Cangling.

The road was full of wind and dust, and naturally the three of them didn't have much strength to tidy up the house.

I simply cleaned up the room where I was going to sleep tonight, and then spread out the bedding, and it was considered done.

For the rest, come back when you have time.

In the evening, Lu Helin lay on the bed thinking that such a big house cannot be tidied up by the three of them alone.

It seems that I still have to find a few people, but I don't know where the big families bought the servants in ancient times.

Thinking about this, the panel suddenly sent out a task.

"Make [-] pills to prevent epidemic diseases, and you will get a small building on the second floor of the street in the south of the city after you finish it."

Two thousand grains? ?

You can really think about it.

Is this trying to exhaust her?
A bottle of incense pills is fifty pills, how about forty bottles?

Lu Helin sighed.

Hey.

Even if she really made it, there are not so many porcelain bottles.

Still have to buy a vase.

It costs a lot of money to just come.

It's best that this incense pill can be sold for a good price, otherwise she will really cry.

----------

Lu Helin and Lu Cangling have left, but there are still many families in Huai'an Town who have not moved away.

This is where they have lived all their lives, and they are reluctant to part with it.

Those who have not moved away think that they should be more careful, and they will not get sick if they are more careful.

But thinking so in my heart, things backfired.

More and more people in the town are getting sick.

And gradually people died.

Every day, there are people in plain white pole clothes crying to send off their relatives.

Private schools and blacksmith shops were also forced to close their doors.

But the strange thing is that neither the old master in the private school nor the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop were infected.

They usually come into contact with quite a few people, masters to students, blacksmiths to guests.

Some of the students accidentally got sick, and the family members came to ask for leave.

Even the little boy next to the master accidentally got sick and had to live in the wing room, refusing to let the old master take a step closer.

Many of the blacksmith's customers were also infected with the disease, so that there were already many hammered ironware in the blacksmith's shop, but no one came to pick them up.

They were all confused as to why they would not be infected by the disease. Maybe the people in the town were more confused than they were.

There are people coming and going in this blacksmith shop every day, but the blacksmith has nothing to do.

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore.

They didn't know about the old master who lived in a private school, but they watched this big blacksmith every day.

He was in contact with people every day, and he was not infected. They thought that the blacksmith might have a secret recipe to prevent the disease.

So they knelt before the blacksmith and begged him to tell them the secret recipe.

"Please tell us the secret recipe to prevent the disease, please."

"please."

Those people kowtowed to the blacksmith while talking.

But the blacksmith is just a big man who can forge iron tools. How does he know the secret recipe to prevent epidemics?

He didn't know, but someone smelled a medicinal fragrance that he had never smelled before.

Then someone said categorically: "I know you have the secret recipe, and you can already smell the fragrance of the medicine on your body. We have been neighbors for so many years, you can't just ignore death."

"Yes, I often take care of the business in your shop."

These people who prayed to the blacksmith for the secret recipe saw that kowtowing was not enough, so they wanted to use the friendship of the neighbors in the street to ask the blacksmith to hand over the secret recipe.

The blacksmith heard these people talking about the medicinal fragrance, but apart from the smell of sweat from the blacksmithing, there was no medicinal fragrance on his body.

No, maybe there are.

In the past few days, I have been rushing to make ironware ordered by customers, and my body is full of sweaty smell, so naturally I didn't pay attention to the smell on my body.

The smell of sweat washed away the fragrance of the medicine.

Now the ironware ordered by the customer has been rushed to completion.

The blacksmith was going to pack his bags and go back to his hometown to hide for a while, and he would come back when the epidemic passed.

Naturally, there is no smell of smoky sweat on my body.

Naturally, the medicinal fragrance from the incense pill that Miss Lu gave him became evident.

There was no emotion on the blacksmith's face, and sharp-eyed people could spot him staring at the hollow iron ball at his waist.

"Is this how you prevent epidemics?"

As he said that, he wanted to reach out to grab it.

After working as a blacksmith for so many years, his tendons are not for nothing.

The man was caught before his hand touched the hollow iron ball that hit the blacksmith's waist.

Can't move.

"Blacksmith, what do you mean?"

Seeing that his hand was firmly grasped, the man became a little annoyed, "We are all neighbors, if you have a way, you can enjoy it alone?"

"Yeah yeah."

"I usually see how honest and honest he is, but I didn't expect him to be such a heartless and ungrateful person."

"This is called knowing the face but not the heart."

A group of people in front of the blacksmith began to talk in a hurry, following the man's words, all of which were derogatory to the blacksmith.

What is the wrong person, what is narrow-minded.

What's more, they even scolded.

The blacksmith was still firmly grasping the hand that wanted to grab his hollowed-out iron ball, but his eyes were fixed on the group of people in front of him.

I usually look at the amiable neighbors, but now I have this face.

The blacksmith couldn't believe it.

Originally thought, if it was this fragrant pill, he would share a little with each of them, and the rest would be enough for him to insist on going back to his hometown.

But now he has changed his mind.

He didn't want to give these people a sliver.

Miss Lu thought that she had a good impression of him, so she gave him something to save her life.

He can't disappoint Miss Lu's wishes.

Thinking, let go of the man's hand fiercely.

He also said: "I don't have a prescription to prevent epidemic diseases. As for this incense pill, it was given to me by a nobleman. It's just a souvenir for me."

The person who was severely restrained by the blacksmith just now was staring at the blacksmith indignantly, but there was nothing he could do.

Look at the body of this blacksmith, he can't match two of them.

I had no choice but to ask, "Is it because of your fragrant pills? If you give us a try, we'll know?"

He kept opening his mouth to fire.

"Yeah, you'll know if you try it."

"Or you can show us."

"That's right, if you're honest, you're naturally not afraid to show us."

started again.

The blacksmith thought that this group of people would only be greedy, and he was afraid that in the end he would not get any good, so he would have to get into trouble.

He is stupid, and he can't speak out against this group of glib people.

Putting the hollow hydrangea around his waist into his bosom, he leaned on his body abruptly to push away the crowd.

Without looking back, he walked out of the town.

Seeing that the blacksmith was about to leave, these people wanted to stop him but couldn't, so they could only scold the blacksmith behind him for not being friendly to neighbors, and for betraying their friendship for so many years.

The blacksmith walked farther and farther away, and gradually he could not hear the voices of those people clearly.

When he was about to leave the town, he passed by the private school.

The blacksmith remembered that the young man of the Lu family had studied in this private school, and this was what Miss Lu said when she came to his shop to order this hollow iron ball.

According to the temperament of the Lu family siblings, they would naturally give the old master of this private school a fragrant pill to prevent the epidemic.

It is estimated that it is the same as him, and he did not say why he sent it.

Just be sure to bring it with you.

Hitting the blacksmith was because he received a gift for the first time, and he hung it on his body directly because he didn't want to disappoint the kindness of others.

What's more, this incense pill also smells good, with a strange medicinal fragrance.

But what if the old master didn't take the words of the Lu family brothers and sisters to heart and put the incense pills at will.

Thinking of this, the blacksmith couldn't sit still.

Immediately stopped, turned and walked towards the private school.

He slammed on the door vigorously.

After a long time, footsteps came from far and near, accompanied by voices: "Who is it? The private school is closed and there are no students anymore. Who is it outside the door? Go home quickly. "

After speaking, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was none other than the old master from the private school.

Because there is only one master in this town, the blacksmith naturally knows him.

Seeing the master open the door, the blacksmith imitated the appearance of a literati, bowed his hands to the master, and then said: "Old master, do you take the incense pills that Mr. Lu Xiaolang gave you?"

"Did you mean this?"

The old master held up the hollow iron ball tied around his waist which was covered by his wide sleeves, and looked at the blacksmith.

"That's right, that's it."

Seeing that the old master was carrying it with him, the blacksmith was relieved, "This incense pill can be infected by disease, old master, please don't take it off."

"Are you serious?"

The old master's eyes widened in an instant, and then he recalled, no wonder, even the little boy around him was infected with the disease, why he was fine when he was taken care of by the little boy every day.

"Yes, this is all the wish of the Lu family sisters and brothers. You must not tell the matter about Xiangwan, otherwise it will attract the prying eyes of bad-hearted people. Say that I have finished talking, old master take care."

After finishing speaking, the blacksmith bowed his hands again, and immediately walked out of the town quickly.

The old master looked at the back of the blacksmith gradually going away, and thought in his heart.

Then the door of the private school was closed.

After returning to the room where he was resting, he tremblingly picked up the hollow iron ball around his waist and held it in front of him to observe carefully.

In fact, when I first received this incense pill, it was because of the pleasant medicinal fragrance that I wanted to smell it all the time, so I put it on my body.

Unexpectedly, this indirectly saved his life.

What is his virtue and ability, he taught Lu Cangling for only half a year, but he repaid him with the kindness of saving his life.

Besides, with Lu Cangling's ingenuity, he can't teach much.

He has to hang this life-saving incense pill on his body all the time, he is already old and can't walk anymore.

Maybe he can wait until the government officials come to rescue him before the incense pills run out.

Come to save this plague-infested land.

The old master closed the door of the private school.

What he didn't know was that the outside had quietly changed.

Some vicious people thought that they would die sooner or later anyway, so they might as well have a good time before they die.

Gradually, the ugliness of the human heart is revealed.

The formerly virtuous wife became lazy and aggressive, while the gentle husband showed a vicious face.

Or the couple who originally respected each other as guests also become disgusted with each other.

But there are also some people who are not contaminated by the extreme evil.

But I can only watch my relatives and lovers being tortured by the epidemic.

All they can do is pray to God to save them every day.
