Chapter 529 (2/2)

Today is also the day when Guan can get out of Furong building!

With this in mind, she quickly called Gu Tuo. They quickly cleaned up the things, and they all got on the coach of the magistrate's house and went out of the door.

When we got outside, we were confronted with a visual attack -

the riverside provincial capital, which they remembered as extremely lively and prosperous, is now just like a dead city, deep and terrible!

The streets that used to be crowded with porters and hawkers are now empty. The roads are all pale, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of lime water. It is clear that it has just been disinfected with quicklime.

Their carriage went a block before they finally saw two figures, but they were two men with white cloth covering their mouths and noses. Together, they pushed a car with several dark bodies on it.

With a simple glance, Xia Ying was sure - it was the people who died because of the ineffective treatment of infectious diseases.

People infected with plague have congestion on the surface of their skin after death, which makes them look black. That's why the plague was called the black death when it was rampant in Europe.

Now, these people are to be transported to the designated place and burned.

”Mother, someone is crying!”

Suddenly, Gu Yuanhao whispered again.

Xia Ying nodded. ”I hear you.”

The cry came from the house on the side of the road. Although the voice was very low, the person who cried was very sad and afraid, but he had to suppress the emotion in his heart.

Along the way, such a cry never stops, and Xia Ying is numb.In modern times, she only heard that the epidemic was rampant. Every time it appeared, it swept the whole area, and sometimes destroyed a town. But in her time, the epidemic had been brought under control, and she had never seen it with her own eyes.

It's the first time that she's been here for so many years.

But to tell you the truth, there are still people in every family who can cry. In fact, this is a happy event. After all, it means that the plague did not take too many lives, otherwise these people would not have cried!

The other children were all overjoyed to learn that they could come out and walk. As a result, when they were outside, they were frightened to shiver, and they sat quietly in the carriage like a few quails.

Seeing this, Mr. Mao said to Gu Tuo in a low voice: ”this time, it's a lot of noise. My father has already handed the envelope to the capital. This is just the beginning of the new year. Such a big thing happened. The result of my father's painstaking efforts in the past two years is totally lost! ”

”It's time and life. Maybe this is a test specially set by God for the magistrate? With this experience, he will be able to deal with anything in the future. There will be a long time for the magistrate. ” Gu Tuo said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Mr. Mao was surprised.

”How do you know that's what my parents said in private?”

”I don't know.” Gu Tuo shakes his head, ”but isn't this what people often use to comfort themselves?”

Mr. Mao's mouth began to smoke. He didn't start.

This person, still so few words!

It's also a pity that he has real ability. Otherwise, he would have been killed by others!
