Chapter 56: Fleeing like a frightened bird
"Sister, is this the Shaoxian City they just talked about? Wow, there are so many people, more than the capital city." Mingzhu looked at the streets with people coming and going and couldn't help but exclaimed.

I don’t know Mingzhu, but other people thought the same way. As soon as I entered the city, I felt a huge wave in my heart. I didn’t show it on my face, but my fiery gaze could not be faked. This sizing gaze could even see the stalls on the roadside. Lit to go.

"What are you doing? If you don't continue moving forward, this place is crowded with people. You are not allowed to stay here for too long. If you are accidentally swept away by the crowd, I will report to the government that someone has escaped. By then, you will become a fugitive. , I don’t need to tell you how long it will take for a fugitive to live, you should already know it by heart.”

Qian Xiang finished his scolding, his eyes were sharp, he clenched his hands, and there was a creaking sound at the junction of the hand bones. It was not loud, but it was enough to intimidate everyone.

Everyone's hair suddenly stood up and they shrank their necks unconsciously. This yamen officer was the one who beat people most often among the exiled team. Others were fine. This person really needed to take it easy.

Qian Xiang glanced at them, then raised his feet and continued walking forward. Before he had taken two steps, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

When he turned around, he saw Wang Wu. He calmed his expression and said with a smile: "Boss, you are here. Everyone is here. Where are we going now?"

It was also the first time that he followed the team to escort prisoners to the far north. Therefore, it was really the first time for him to enter Shaoxian City. Compared with it, the cities he had passed before were insignificant and not enough to see.

Wang Wu raised his eyes to look at the crowded streets, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go south. The direction of entering the city and leaving the city are the same. As long as you keep going south, you can leave the city."

"There are a lot of people today. You must keep an eye on them and remind them not to get separated. If they are crowded out by this huge crowd, it will take a lot of effort to find them. It will take a lot of time." It’s urgent, so it’s better to be more careful.”

When he finished speaking, he changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "I think it should be fine. There are many of us and we are all wearing prison uniforms, so most people won't come forward and get in the way."

Qian Xiang understood and immediately gave another warning before leading the team to follow Wang Wu and walk towards the south.

Having been warned by the government officials in advance, everyone did not dare to act recklessly. They were prisoners who had their homes confiscated and were exiled. Wherever they went, no one stopped, and they all gave way to a path for the team to pass.

Wang Wu's prediction was indeed good. No matter whether the city was prosperous or not, as long as it was associated with prisoners, it would never be good in the hearts of the people, let alone blocking the way.

Seeing this group of criminals who brought disaster to the country and the people, they could only look down upon them and had no desire to come forward to seek bad luck.

It was good that no one was in the way. Everyone passed through this bustling street effortlessly, but something unexpected happened in an instant.

Before walking to the next section of the street, a man on the street suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. His face turned pale, his lips turned purple, his whole body was trembling, his hands and feet were twitching, and even his eyes turned white.

Different from epilepsy, looking at the red rash on his neck and the coughing, Jiang Zhimiao could tell at a glance that this man was probably suffering from the plague. She immediately tore off a few strips of cloth from his outer shirt and placed them on Xu Yourong and the others. of the mouth and nose.

They were very surprised when they saw this. They thought they were afraid that the man would be infected, so they didn't think much about it. Wen Zhuqing was still wearing shackles and it was inconvenient to tie them up. Jiang Zhimiao and Wen's mother moved quickly one after another.

A moment later, only a few people in the huge team covered their mouths and noses. Others were very disdainful when they saw this. Wasn't it because they had epilepsy?There is someone in the team who has learned from Zhao's mistakes, and they have long been accustomed to it.

As everyone knows, Zhao suffered from epilepsy, but the man suffered from the plague. Plague and epilepsy are naturally different. Catching the plague can kill people. The people watching the excitement have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.

Everyone looked at the man's tragic situation with curious eyes. Some people saw Jiang Zhimiao covering his mouth and nose. Some people thought it was a fuss, and some people thought the method was novel and followed suit.

Wang Wu was still some distance away from the man. After seeing him fainted on the ground, he waved his hand to signal the team to stop. Seeing the symptoms that were different from Zhao's, he frowned unconsciously.

This man's symptoms are not like epilepsy, but like a plague. Thinking of this, his pupils trembled. It would be terrible if there was a plague. There are so many people in Shaoxian City, not to mention whether they are late, just talk about the thousands of people in Shaoxian City. With tens of thousands of people, it is clear that things are difficult.

He carefully moved some distance away, leaned into Qian Xiang's ear and whispered: "I think this is not an ordinary epilepsy, I'm afraid it's a plague. There was an outbreak of plague in the former army, and the symptoms were somewhat similar to this man's. In a moment, you lead the team to take a detour, and I will stop the rear." Qian Xiang was so frightened that his back broke out in sweat after hearing these words, plague?If it was really a plague, it would kill people. This, this, how could we be so unlucky? The first time we led the team into the city, they encountered the plague. This was really a sudden disaster.

He turned his head and looked at the bewildered crowd, whose throats were tightening unconsciously. He cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, his voice was deeper than before: "This road is blocked. Don't delay your journey. You guys, follow me."

After saying that, the man resolutely walked to the front of the team to lead the way. As he walked, from the corner of his eye, he could see that several people in the team had their mouths and noses covered with cloth strips. He was surprised. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Zhimiao and his party. people.

He was very impressed by them. He didn't expect that this girl was smart. She saw that the man had the plague and didn't make it public yet, so she understood the overall situation.

Wang Wu could recognize that this was a plague, but that didn't mean that others couldn't recognize it. There were many well-informed traders in Shaoxian City.

Qian Xiang took the prisoner around to another spacious alley and had not taken two steps when he heard someone screaming in the crowd.

"Plague, this is a plague! Everyone, cover your mouth and nose and stay away from this man."

"What? Plague, ahhh, run!"

The screams instantly aroused panic in people's hearts, and they began to scatter around in a panic. Vegetables and fruits were scattered all over the ground. For a while, it was very messy.

When Jiang Zhimiao saw everyone hurriedly escaping from here, he secretly thought that it was not good. There were so many people here, and such an unorganized evacuation might lead to a stampede.

Once a stampede occurs, it will not be the fault of one person. A chain reaction will follow, and several lives may be lost.

Jiang Zhimiao looked at this scene with her whole body stiff, and it was hard for her to fight with two fists. What's more, she was no longer the same person as she was before. If she stepped forward rashly, she wouldn't be able to do it all.

Looking at it again, I suddenly felt cold. Someone had been killed in the crowded crowd. The bright red blood stains on the ground flowed down the uneven slope, which was so dazzling in Jiang Zhimiao's eyes.

Unfortunately, he was still unable to save people. Seeing the bright red blood, Jiang Zhimiao's heart sank.

After carefully searching for some useful tools in the plane mall, she found it. The trailing talisman, as its name suggests, the body will follow the trajectory of the previous person, and it will lose its effectiveness after half a stick of incense.

The situation was urgent. No matter how hard he tried, Jiang Zhimiao couldn't ignore the tragic situation in front of him. After buying all the points in one go, he only had 6 points left in his account.

Looking at the pile of tailing charms in his backpack, Jiang Zhimiao moved his fingers and used all the tailing charms while others were panicking.

The tragic situation that happened could not be saved. Seeing that someone was unstable and about to fall, Jiang Zhimiao put a trailing talisman on him. In this way, they could be regarded as saving their lives.

Fortunately, Wang Wu had the foresight to move the exiled team into the alley, and ordered the government officials to keep a close watch on them. When the panic occurred, they drew their swords and glared at everyone with bloodthirsty eyes and sharp blades. It scared everyone away.

No one came forward. Jiang Zhimiao's team seemed to be the safest place around. They wanted to come forward, but the eyes of these officers and soldiers said they were going to kill one by one. Who else dared to come forward?

Everyone fled in a hurry like frightened birds. After burning the incense, only a few people were left on the street.
