Chapter 0121: Quickly Close the City Gates (2 / 2)

Shen Wanjing kept nodding, “Sister-in-law is right, big brother let’s go!”

In Qingzhou City, the Apricot Grove Medical Center was packed with people who came to see the doctor, and everyone’s symptoms were basically fever and chills, vomiting, and headaches. There was also a portion of people with symptoms of diarrhea.

The doctors and medicine boys in the medical center were all busy, and a man of about forty years old wiped the sweat from his forehead while taking the pulse of a patient.

This person was none other than the doctor of the Apricot Grove Medical Center, Lin Youde, and this medical center was his family’s ancestral heritage.

The medical center was as noisy as a food market, and the noisy environment made it impossible for the doctor to calm down and take the patient’s pulse.

Dr. Lin’s brow furrowed, pondering the surge of patients is the matter of these two days, not only their medical center, other medical centers are equally overcrowded.

Three days ago, the city received a group of refugees into the city, I heard that their hometown floods fled over.

Badly, Doc snapped to his feet.

So many people are sick at the same time must be the plague, this matter must be quickly told to the governor adults.

Just before he could get out of the medical center, four or five of the people who came to see him collapsed, their mouths continuously spitting out black blood.

“Help, dead people ……”

Immediately after that, three more people similarly fell to the ground vomiting black blood from their mouths.

Dr. Lin panicked for a moment, and immediately beckoned a small fellow to whisper a few words, who flew towards the Yamen.

In Qingzhou City, the officials and soldiers guarding the city outside the city gates were conducting strict checks on the people coming and going.

The governor has sent word that the city has already received some stragglers, so in order not to cause inconvenience to the people’s lives in the city, those refugees are temporarily prohibited from entering the city.

And those who defected to the refugees are not allowed to treat them rudely, they have to be temporarily housed outside the city, two meals a day the government will arrange for people to give porridge.

Bald Li and a few officials drove two carriages, plus Lan Luoluo’s two carriages of theirs, four carriages blocked the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city checked the paperwork and road guide given by Bald Li, “Remember to leave the city after one and a half hours don’t delay, darkness is to lock the city gates, to the point without leaving the city closed in the city is no one to open the gates for you.”

The soldier returned the item to Bald Lee with another instruction and ordered the gates to be opened a little wider to let the man in.

The refugees following behind wanted to squeeze in but were scared back by the soldiers with their swords, “The governor has ordered that the refugees can’t enter the city yet.”

“Why don’t you let us in?”

“They say that the Governor of Qingzhou is a good official for the people, but it seems to be nothing more than that.”

The soldier’s iron face, “You’re not allowed to talk about Lord Zhifu like this, the city has already housed some refugees, there’s no extra space for the time being, the lord has asked you to be temporarily housed outside of the city for the time being, sooner or later, there will be people to give out congee, and we won’t let you go hungry.”

The soldier’s words didn’t do much good, though, and galvanized the refugees even more.

“Why should other refugees be able to enter but not us, just because we came later than they did?”

“Right, since we are refugees we should be treated equally, we also want to enter the city. Brothers, we are so many people we all break in together ……”

Lan Luoluo shook her head as she listened to the words from outside, when there were always some pricks who were always looking for trouble. But these people didn’t have a conflict with her, so she’d just take it as a hilarious look.

Suddenly a group of officials and soldiers with large swords ran on the street, shouting as they ran, “Quickly close the gates, quickly close the gates …….”
