Chapter 35 Hope
Chapter 35 Hope
"Cough again in the daytime." Qin Wuzhou talked about Chu Qing's body, as if preparing for a war, "You just recovered, so you can't work hard."
Hearing Qin Wuzhou's words, Chu Qing was quite helpless, he put down the book, went to bed and lay down obediently, he finally saw Qin Wuzhou's "scary" in the past few days.
Chu Qing was lying on the bed, Qin Wuzhou was writing the homework he had assigned before, but he couldn't help but recall in his mind, in the dark room earlier, the person sent by the Prime Minister of Qin State Lu Xun.
The man told Qin Wuzhou that his throne would be exchanged with his own life.
Chu Qing believed that no matter how demented Qin Wuzhou was, he would not kill him at this juncture, but what about when he returned to Jianyang City?
What's more, after the complete decline of Chu State, King Qin died suddenly, and when the throne was hanging in the air, could Qin Wuzhou resist the temptation of the throne?
Furthermore, Qin Wuzhou didn't believe in the power of ghosts and gods. In his eyes, he was just an enemy from his previous life...
After Qin Wuzhou finished the homework in hand, he hung the brush on the pen holder, waited for the ink on the book to dry, and then closed the book.
Turning her head, she happened to meet Chu Qing's eyes looking at him.
Qin Wuzhou walked quickly to Chu Qing's side, he gently put his hands on Chu Qing's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't look at me with such eyes."
Chu Qing blinked, and Qin Wuzhou clearly felt that Chu Qing's slender eyelashes touched his palm.
"Okay," Chu Qing didn't know how he looked at Qin Wuzhou in his eyes, "Then I won't look at you."
Qin Wuzhou put his hand down, closed Chu Qing's eyes, he stared at Chu Qing's eyelashes carefully, he never noticed it before, he never thought it was so long.
The two lay on the same bed again.
Just when Qin Wuzhou wanted to continue the unfinished chat with Chu Qing, there was a noise outside the door.
Shao Tie knocked on the door lightly, as if he was afraid that he would disturb something, and he shouted, "Something happened to Heshou Canyon in the north of He County."
As patient as Qin Wuzhou, he couldn't help cursing the prince, and then he quickly put on clothes for Chu Qing.
Chu Qing felt that the irritable Qin Wuzhou in front of him was very different from the usual one.
When the two arrived, the Heshou Canyon was completely in disarray. Under Qin Wuzhou's arrangement, torches were lit all around, illuminating this dark place as if it were daylight. Everyone looked at the figure of the prince in the Heshou Canyon. Disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?" Chu Qing frowned and asked Shao Tie beside him.
"We got the news earlier that the crown prince didn't dare to enter the Heshou Canyon. He was afraid that he would get sick." Shao Tie said quickly.
The crown prince is golden and jade, and the crown prince is ruined. Chu Qing's original guess about the crown prince is also the same.
"As a result, he sent soldiers to build a wall and surrounded all the people in He County." Shao Tie said with contempt, "He said it was for better management, who doesn't know that he is afraid of death, so he did this .”
"..." Chu Qing was quite speechless at the prince's teasing, "So the patients in He County thought they were going to fend for themselves, so they started making trouble?"
"That's right," Shao Tie continued, "Afterwards, the patients in He County threw rubbish at the soldiers of His Highness the Crown Prince. They were already dying, and they didn't care about the Crown Prince."
I don't know who shouted, "The fourth prince is here."
The people in Heshou Canyon stopped making noise one after another.
Chu Qing didn't open his mouth, Lang Qi, the new envoy of He County, stood up and said to the patients: "I believe you have also seen that the prince has no talent or virtue. He didn't come to our He County before, but he waited for the situation to temporarily After stabilizing, come and grab the credit."
"However, he is unwilling to bear anything. He turns a blind eye to the sick people, and even wants to erect a high wall and surround you to starve to death." Lang Qi's words were quite provocative. The out-of-control patients became more and more angry, and some patients even got up coughing blood.
"Fortunately, the fourth prince came, the prince was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms, and fled far away with his thousand "elite soldiers". "Lang Qi directed the crowd's attention to the clear direction.
In just a few words, Chu Qing gained a new understanding of Lang Qi, the newly elected envoy of He County, and his words were often extremely provocative. The county is wholehearted, otherwise, Chu Qing would not have appointed him as Cheng Xuan's political envoy.
"You are all citizens of Hejun. You came to Heshou Canyon just to rest and recuperate. Hejun will provide food, drinking water, and will continue to call doctors to come for treatment. As long as you recover from illness, you can return to Hejun. Medium." Chu Qing thought for a while, and the patient should be informed about the burning of the corpse as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later, and now that the prince is making a comparison for him, the patient's tolerance will be much higher.
"Nowadays, He County is plagued by epidemics. If someone dies from an illness, the disease will not dissipate and must be burned to disperse it completely," Chu Qing explained briefly, "He County will not force you, but I hope you can cooperate with He County." County, leave the chance of life to more people.”
Qin Wuzhou did not expect that Chu Qing did not contact the gods and ghosts this time, but spread the matter openly and frankly, and directly told so many patients in He County at the risk of patient riots.
As soon as Chu Qing said this, the patients all started discussing in low voices, obviously some couldn't accept it, and some were watching the attitude of others.
"You must be aware of the survival rate of the plague. We try our best to treat it, but your family members and even your children may be in He County." Chu Qing took a panoramic view of the reactions of the patients, and his tone changed, "If someone doesn't want to Cremation made He County's disease more serious, needless to say, other people in He County can't tolerate your family members."
Qin Wuzhou admired in his heart that although Chu Qing was honest, he also cleverly used the characteristics of human nature. At this time, resisting the epidemic is the most important thing. Most patients will probably agree to this kind of hard and soft measures.
An old man who was only seventy years old stood up. When he stood up, other patients stopped discussing.
Lang Qi leaned into Chu Qing's ear, and whispered to Chu Qing: "This man is a very prestigious elder in He County. The late emperor was a third-rank official when he was in power."
Qin Wuzhou watched Lang Qi's actions. Although Lang Qi had no other intentions, Qin Wuzhou couldn't restrain his eyes, showing a very strong killing intent towards Lang Qi.
After Lang Qi noticed it, he turned his back to Qin Wuzhou and smiled silently.
"Everyone, Hejun is your home, and the fourth prince is also very embarrassed, and he doesn't want to make the dead souls restless, but if the general burial method is followed, can the souls be rested?"
"In fact, this will only make He County's illness more serious. The living can't find peace, let alone the dead?"
"The previous inheritance announced that the envoys hoarded food and supported themselves in the government. If the fourth prince hadn't come, would you have received such proper care?"
"At my age, I have lived enough. I can feel that the disease has penetrated deep into my heart. I should not survive tomorrow. If I die tonight, I am willing to be the first to try cremation. The fire will take me Will, protect the entire River County!"
The old man seemed to hold his breath and forcefully finished speaking. He began to cough and spit out a lot of blood.
Chu Qing couldn't bear to see it. Under the leadership of the old man, more and more patients raised their hands and said resolutely, "I am willing to be cremated."
For these people who were baptized by feudal ideology from birth, Chu Qing could understand the difficulties and hardships when they made concessions, and he admired the old man who was the first to stand up.
Chu Qing solemnly bowed to these common people. He did this salute willingly. He regarded it as respecting the common people and the greatness of life. It is the brilliance of human nature, a light that has never been extinguished throughout the ages.
The patients in He County avoided Chu Qing's salute one after another.
"Fourth prince, you have a noble status, don't discourage us."
"Go back and rest, it's midnight now."
"Fourth prince, this is what we should do."
……
When Chu Qing was walking in the empty streets, he suddenly had a different feeling about coming to He County for disaster relief. While he was doing his best, what he had learned, and what he knew to save the people, why were the people using himself? the light that gives itself some precious quality?
Chu Qing thought that he would keep his feelings today and what he learned from these common people for a long time. These are treasures that cannot be exchanged for gold or silver.
"Very different from what you imagined?" Qin Wuzhou stared at Chu Qing and asked.
"That's right," Chu Qing said with emotion, "The custom of burial has been around since ancient times. Burning the corpse is disrespectful to the corpse. This is where the term "destroying bones and ashes" comes from. I really didn't expect them to agree so simply."
"Because you gave them hope." Qin Wuzhou looked far away, as if there were mountains and seas in his eyes, "Don't underestimate what you have done, and don't underestimate your prestige in the hearts of the people of He County."
Chu Qing smiled, and said to Qin Wuzhou, "It's not me, it's us."
Qin Wuzhou was startled, he knew that Chu Qing was referring to all the people who came to Hejun, but when Chu Qing said it was us, Qin Wuzhou still felt warm.
"Yes, it's us."
-
When Tian Guang broke through the door the next day, Chu Qing had already woken up. After coming to He County, he never slept so peacefully like last night.
In the main hall, everyone ate the breakfast in their hands without any scruples, and Chu Qing told everyone about his plan to burn Hejun in the future.
Shao Tie and Cheng Shangshu knew about it a long time ago, but the officials of He County had never been in contact with it before. They were surprised at first and were surprised by it. After all, the cost of rebuilding He County would be unimaginable.
"Fourth Prince, think twice." An official stood up and said to Chu Qing, "How to persuade the people to leave their hometown before burning He County? Ruin your prestige in He County, and countless people will be displaced."
Chu Qing had anticipated the worries of He County officials, and he continued: "He County does not have to be burned, but a plan for burning must be made."
"Once the disease in the city gets out of control," Chu Qing said to the official, "it is obviously more cost-effective to burn He County than if everyone in He County died of disease. He County is a dead thing. As long as there are people there, it is not afraid that it will not be rebuilt."
Lang Qi stood up and said to the officials of Hejun: "I agree with the proposal of the fourth prince. Hejun is constantly pulling patients to Heshou Canyon every day. If this is the case every day, no matter how much food in Hejun I can't support it anymore, and I traced its source because the disease is all over Hejun."
"The incubation period of the plague is short. We can guarantee the health of the isolated people, but we cannot guarantee whether the healthy people have been exposed to rats or diseases in places we can't see."
"In addition, this is just a plan, and it will not be implemented until it is absolutely necessary."
The officials in He County nodded in agreement, but they thought in their hearts that if they only planned, they didn't have to implement it, so the Fourth Prince could design it whatever he wanted.
Lang Qi's eyes flashed brightly, and he smiled and said to Chu Qing: "What's more, who said we're going to burn it?"
"You mean..." Chu Qing looked at Lang Qi with bright eyes.
"Hejun was set on fire by the prince. Our fourth prince just temporarily moved the people of Hejun out to use spirits to eliminate the disease in the whole town." Lang Qi involuntarily looked at the tear mole in the corner of Chu Qing's eye , with Chu Qing's mood, the tear mole became more and more eye-catching.
Now, the courtiers in Hejun had nothing to say. On the one hand, they felt that Lang Qi's method was quite shameless, and on the other hand, they felt that Lang Qi was indeed talented, but he was a bit wicked.
After the plan was finished, Chu Qing didn't leave anyone behind, and asked everyone to return to their posts.
Then Chu Qing walked towards the south gate, the crown prince is always a disaster.
Qin Wuzhou didn't follow Chu Qing closely this time, he stayed behind and looked at Lang Qi with hostility.
"Hey, what do you see me doing?" Lang Qi said confidently, "I heard that the fourth prince is very masculine. There is no other person like him in the world. You don't mind having multiple competitors, do you?"
Then, Qin Wuzhou drew his sword, and before Lang Qi could even react, Qin Wuzhou's sword was tightly pressed against Lang Qi's neck, followed by a turbulent and terrifying killing intent, which was as cold and bloody as real, making people People can't breathe.
Lang Qi restrained his sloppy attitude, and sweat slowly dripped from his forehead. The man in front of him was absolutely unusual. Such a strong killing intent could not be formed overnight, at least after more than ten years in the battlefield of corpses and blood. to achieve.
"Don't think about it." Qin Wuzhou cut off a lock of Lang Qi's hair like lightning, "Otherwise, this is your end."
