The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 100 Official Banquet, Civil Violence, A Different Night! (2)
Finally, the crowd dispersed and headed towards the Hu family who had begun to give out porridge, and the chaos in front of the Chu family gradually subsided.Several of the servants suffered some injuries, so Li Shi sent them some silver as a reward.

The maid and the nanny began to pack their things. Chu Qing helped Li to stand on the steps, looking at those helpless people sitting outside their house crying, and remained silent for a long time.

The sound of footsteps came, and a team of government servants wrapped their faces in white cloths and hurried past the door of Chu's house carrying a stretcher.

The stretcher was covered with corpses covered by white cloths. While shaking, a scarred arm fell out. Yellow viscous liquid was still flowing from the festering wound, and the skin was barely intact, bruised and swollen. .

This scene caught the eyes of many people. The few refugees squatting at the door of Chu's house stopped crying, curled up in fear, and stared at the frightening hand.

The maidservants of the Chu family also backed away one after another, trying to distance themselves.

Chu Qing held her mother's hand and trembled slightly, letting her know that her mother's heart was not at peace.In fact, not to mention my mother, she was already used to seeing people with various injuries in her previous life, and even she herself often received those inhuman and terrifying treatments.At this moment, when I see people who died from the plague, I feel the same fear.

When the leader saw Chu Qing's mother and daughter, he stopped, thought for a while, and walked towards Chu's house.

He didn't get too close, but stood under the steps, pulled down his mask, and saluted Chu Qing's mother and daughter: "Mrs. Chu, Ms. Chu."

"Captain Li is being polite." Mrs. Li nodded slightly. At this moment, it was naturally inconvenient for Chu Qing, who was a woman in the boudoir, to speak more.

"Miss Madam, the plague is rampant in the city now, and it is very unsafe outside the house. If there is nothing wrong, it is better to stay in the mansion." Catcher Li kindly reminded.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the donation utensils in the hands of the maids, and added: "Miss Madam is compassionate. If you find something wrong during the donation process, please report it to the government in time to prevent the epidemic from spreading."

"Thank you, Catcher Li, for reminding me." Li said gratefully.He looked at the mother next to him again.The latter understood, took out some broken silver from his pocket, walked down the steps, and handed it to Catcher Li.

"No, Madam, you're being polite." Catcher Li refused.

Li Shi said: "Li catcher, you don't need to be polite. These days, I have worked hard for the people in the city. This little gesture is to buy some wine for everyone on behalf of my master to relieve fatigue. I hope the catcher will not refuse." .”

Chu Qing looked at Li Shi, it was the first time she saw her mother's good at dancing, she thought her mother didn't like to go out, she thought it was because her mother was not good at communicating with others, but now she knew it wasn't.

Catcher Li hesitated for a moment, took the broken silver and held it in his hand, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little more polite: "Then thank you, Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu."

"Captain Li, the corpses of these poor people..." Mrs. Li glanced at the corpse transport team going away.

Li Butou replied: "These people died of the plague and must be cremated. Now it has been found that those who have suffered from the plague have been isolated, so Madam don't need to worry too much, the city is still safe."

Li's chin slightly nodded: "That's it, I dare not delay the important matter of arresting the head."

Li catches his head and cups his fists: "I will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, he put on the white cloth again and chased after his companion.

Li Butou walked away, Li Shi sighed softly, and said quietly: "It seems that the medicine will start tomorrow."

Chu Qing nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Back in the Liyuan, Mingliu waited for Chu to take a shower, and took the clothes the two of them were wearing outside, and sterilized them at high temperature according to the method Chu Qing handed over.

Busy and busy, without a moment's rest.

Chu Qing looked at Ming Liu's figure with some pity, but was helpless.

The Chu family has resigned some people a few days ago, and now there is simply not enough staff in the family.

After dinner, Chu Qing chatted with his father for a while before leaving and returning to the pear garden. As soon as he entered, he saw thousands of streams of water on the roof.

"Miss, Mr. Shui is here again." Ming Liu Fuer said softly.

Chu Qing looked at the white shadow covered by the moonlight, feeling a little helpless in his heart.Since that day when he said that he would stay with her, in the next few days, he would appear every night.

Then I drank on the roof and watched the moon, and finally fell asleep.

When she woke up, Shui Qianliu had disappeared.

Chu Qing tilted his head and ordered: "You go down first."

"Yes." Ming Liu leaned over and stepped back.

Casting the Clothes Phantom under her feet, Chu Qing easily went up to the roof and sat beside Shui Qianliu.However, as soon as she sat down tonight, she felt that the mood of the people around her was not good.

"What happened?" Chu Qing asked.

Shui Qianliu concealed the complicated emotions in his eyes: "Many villages and towns outside are already deserted, and corpses are everywhere."

Chu Qing's heart trembled: "Plague?"

Shui Qianliu nodded, his brows became more solemn: "Now the epidemic in the city is still under control, but the epidemic outside the city has begun to spread. In order to prevent further spread, the surrounding cities refused to accept the refugees nearby, and these people had no choice but to ask Come in peace."

"The situation seems to be more serious than expected." Chu Qing pursed her lips.

There was silence between the two for a while, then Chu Qing looked at Shui Qianliu: "An Ning City has been sealed off, and refugees can't come in, so isn't it..."

Shui Qianliu sneered: "Yeah, you can't get in, you can't get out, it's like a turtle in a urn." He was silent for a while, and said in a cold tone: "It's like a caged animal."

Human nature is fragile.If it is pushed into a desperate situation, I am afraid that the order under the imperial power will no longer be able to restrict human nature.

Chu Qing was silent, and she didn't know what was thinking in her lowered eyes.The fluttering eyelashes showed the unrest in her heart at the moment.

"You go." After a while, Chu Qing said seriously to Shui Qianliu.

Shui Qianliu turned to look at her, his eyes full of questions.

With eyes lowered, Chu Qing said indifferently: "You and I are just acquaintances, why do you stay here and risk yourself?"

"You think we're just acquaintances?" Shui Qianliu's tone was a little more dangerous, and his body was slowly approaching Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't look at him, but said to himself: "With your ability, even if Anning City is closed, you can come and go freely. Although I don't know who you are, I can guess your identity Fan Fei must have his own responsibilities, so why bother staying here."

Shui Qianliu squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, not letting go of any detail on her face.Suddenly, he raised his lips and said with a smile: "Qing'er, have you noticed that you talk a lot tonight?"

"Is there?" Chu Qing gave him a cold look.

Shui Qianliu turned around and attacked Chu Qing.The latter was startled, and leaned back, instead lying on the tile roof, being pressed down by Shui Qianliu.
