Chapter 108 Refugee Unrest
It was a baby with a small, skinny chest. He rose and fell slowly, as if he was dying. Even so, he was still alive so tenaciously, with his eyes slightly open.

"Good... good..." some delirious women hugged him, bit off her finger and put it next to the baby's mouth, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, as if the child wanted to grab the last chance of life, The little hand held the finger and sucked it. The woman didn't feel any pain, she just shook him lightly, "Good... good..."

Yun Shu's heart trembled, everything in front of her had already exceeded her expectations, and just now, she was even hoping that the situation would not be too bad.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and with a loud cry, the refugees sitting on the side of the road, who were still in agony, rushed up and surrounded Yun Shu and the others' carriage tightly.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get out of the way!" The groom who was driving vigorously waved his whip, and the sound of the horse was particularly sharp, but it still couldn't break through so many people's defenses.

"Master, sir, can you do me a favor? Can you give us something to eat? Please, please give us something to eat!" The refugees grabbed the reins and surrounded them, begging one after another.

"Get out of the way! Do you know whose carriage this is? Get out of the way!" Several guards hurried forward to maintain order, but at this moment, these people who have suffered so much don't care whose carriage it is. , What kind of powerful people are sitting in this car, for them, they just want to survive and just want to get a bite to eat.

"Master, we haven't eaten for several days, please, please give us something to eat!" The pleading continued, and the refugees behind suddenly grabbed the wheels and slammed onto the carriage, and then Constantly digging out the gorgeous accessories hanging above, as well as some gilt decorations on the car body, some people even opened the car curtain directly, trying to squeeze the whole person in.

"You...Damn it! Don't touch those things!" At this moment, the coachman and the accompanying guards saw that the situation was out of control, so they pulled out the sabers around their waists one after another, trying to force the group of red-eyed people back. refugees.

The cries and screams made it impossible for the people in the carriage to sit idly by.

"Stop!" Ji Jin's voice was not loud, but it miraculously quieted down the refugees who were commotion outside, and in the car window, the refugee who was trying to climb in happened to meet his eyes, and shrank his head in horror. went back.

Ji Jin stood up and walked out of the carriage, his haughty face was a little heavy, and there was a trace of inexplicable hidden anger.

At this moment, Yun Shu actually had a slight illusion, whether something had happened to this man.

"Put away all the knives!" Ji Jin's thick voice resonated in the air, "Don't hurt them!"

"Yes!" Although everyone was puzzled, they immediately put the knife in their hands back into the scabbard.

When the refugees saw that they had put away the knives, they rushed up again without even thinking about it, and surrounded the entire carriage again. In an instant, the chaos was out of control.

They climbed into the wagon like crazy and didn't let anything in the wagon go!During the scramble, many people were trampled in chaos, and even started punching and kicking.

Ji Jin turned his head to look at Yun Shu, and the guard looked in anxiously, "Master Xiang, I can't take it any longer! Get out of the car!"

These refugees just want to live, not to kill.Escorted by the guards, Yun Shu and the young prime minister took advantage of the chaos to leave, hiding in the distance and watching her carriage was looted in an instant, leaving only two wheels, not to mention the clothes and silver inside. It was the heavy roof that was lifted off.

After all the people had dispersed, the luxurious carriage was too horrible to look at. In the end, after some refugees who hadn't snatched something discussed for a while, they hurriedly removed all the remaining wheels.

Seeing this scene, Ji Jin frowned. There is still a long way to Yucheng from here. Now that there is no carriage and a group of refugees who may riot at any time, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.

Yun Shu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she hid all her emotions at the moment, without saying a word.

Ji Jin slanted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seems that this boudoir lady was also scared when she saw such a scene. How dare a woman come to the epidemic area alone?Ah……

"Don't worry, I have written to Lord Hou, and I believe he will send someone to pick you up soon." Ji Jin's words were sarcasm, and his black eyes like ink looked at Yun Shu coldly, raising his eyebrows As if waiting for her reaction.

However, to his surprise, the woman in front of him didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his tone, her eyes were long and deep, "Before the plague can be solved, the famine must be solved!"

Ji Jin was a little surprised, he didn't expect that at this time, the lady of the Hou's mansion could still think so calmly.Indeed, if the food and clothing problems of these people are not solved, it will only be a vicious circle!
Suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his tone was a bit deep, "If the officials who refused to open warehouses for disaster relief are your father's friends, I don't know what Miss thinks?"

Yun Shu looked sideways, although she didn't know the relationship between the Yucheng officials and Marquis Changrong, but hearing Ji Jin's words made her more rational, "Maybe the matter can no longer be solved by opening warehouses for disaster relief. , The sight in front of you can't explain everything, the prime minister should listen to the explanation of that adult when he arrives for the first time."

Ji Jin was stunned, he really didn't expect that she would be so easily ridiculed by her... Did you say he took the meaning out of context?

……

The sky in the evening is brighter than the daytime, but the afterglow that should have been dazzling is now a pale golden color. From time to time, crows will be startled in the woods on both sides of the road, and their piercing chirps will make people People's scalp tingles when they hear it.

Everyone had nothing to do at this time, so they had to follow some refugees and slowly approach in the direction of Yucheng.

Suddenly, a guard walking in the front staggered twice, fell to the ground at a slant, his whole body shrank into a ball and violently twitched, some yellow foam gradually gushed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Cheng Hu! What's wrong with you?"

A guard quickly walked up to him and knelt down to check, but before he could reach out to touch it, Yun Shu who was walking behind immediately said coldly, "Don't touch him!"

The guard was taken aback for a moment, and although he was anxious, he immediately retracted his hand, and then looked blankly at Miss Hou Mansion who had already trotted towards this side.

Yun Shu looked serious, carefully observed the guard's face, then stretched out her hand to feel the pulse, the pulsating pulse at her fingertips made her face more serious, she raised her hand and opened his sleeve, and sure enough, some blisters appeared on it. The small pimple, and the reason why he got sick so quickly was mainly because someone left a scratch on his wrist at some point.

"What happened to him?" Ji Jin had a feeling of uneasiness.

"I'm afraid that some of the refugees just now were infected with the plague." Obviously, what Yunshu meant was that the guard had already been infected.

Ji Jin couldn't help but look terrified, this situation is undoubtedly worse.

"Prime Minister, what... what should we do? We..." The guards instantly showed panic expressions on their faces. This plague is really terrible, and a good person actually fell down as soon as he said it.

"Can you do it?" Ji Jin looked at Yun Shu who stood up with a solemn expression.She looked up at the sky, "The prime minister arranged for someone to bring him up, it's going to be dark soon."

When the other guards asked them to bring the people on the ground, they immediately seemed a little hesitant. Maybe there is another way? "Prime Minister, this..."

Ji Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at Yunshu who was walking straight forward. She knew that this person was infected with the plague, but she still asked them to take him?Shouldn't the lady of the Hou Mansion care more about her own life?
"Prime Minister?"

"Bring him on!"

A group of people walked forward with difficulty in the darkness of night again. After a long time, a ruined temple appeared in front of them, and the guards' eyes immediately showed hope.

The dilapidated temple has long lost its former prosperity, but the Buddha statue in the central hall of the temple has maintained its majestic posture after being exposed to wind and sun.

Yun Shu pursed her lips, feeling a little ironic.

"Miss Six, what should we do now?" The guards put Cheng Hu on the haystack beside him, rubbing their hands from time to time, with worried faces.

Yun Shu looked at the guard who was still twitching, and raised her finger to a piece of wood above the head of the Buddha statue, "Remove that piece of wood."

The guards looked in the direction Yun Shu pointed, and they saw the crimson board, quickly climbed up to the huge Buddha statue, and then took it off completely, and handed it to Yun Shu.

"Why do you want this piece of wood?" Ji Jin has been observing her actions, and is even more puzzled by her actions at this time.

"Experimental medicine!" Yun Shu stepped over him and came to the guard, picked up a stone and quickly wrote down various names of medicinal materials on the ground.

After careful inspection, he turned his head to look at Ji Jin with an inexplicable face, "If my lord believes in Yun Shu, send someone to find all the herbs on it before dawn."

Ji Jin glanced at the densely packed handwriting, and his thick eyebrows frowned immediately, "At this time, there is an epidemic area in a radius of ten miles, and it is impossible to find so many medicinal materials."

Yunshu is naturally very clear about this, is it because of this that she gave up? "If we can't find it, we will end up in the same way tomorrow."

And when the time comes, no matter how good Yunshu's medical skills are, the medicine stone will still be ineffective.

Ji Jin squeezed one hand tightly. It is indeed as she said, the current situation is very dangerous, "You two, search for the medicinal materials above in two ways, and you must find them all before dawn."

"Your subordinates obey!" The guards quickly memorized the names of the medicines on the ground, and quickly summoned up their internal strength and rushed away.

At this moment, Yun Shu didn't take a break either, she took out the dagger she carried with her and began to scrape vigorously at the piece of wood that she took down just now.

"You're free!" Seeing her sitting there like that, Ji Jin repeatedly scratched the board that didn't look like anything special, and couldn't help but softly sarcastically again.

Yun Shu ignored him, just continued to move her hands, and occasionally looked at the state of the guard on the haystack at this time.

"Miss Six seems to have experienced a hard life."

Yunshu's wood-cutting hand just paused for a moment, and then continued to move.
