The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 97 102 Cremation
It was a cold night, and when I turned my eyes, the land was dead and silent, and there was no life.Standing together, it was as if they had entered hell by mistake.
Several people leaned against a fence in silence, at this moment Su Xueqing looked up at the sky.I saw a piece of light and a piece of darkness in the semicircular moon.A blue halo tightly surrounds the moon.Looking away from the bright moon, I realized that there are countless stars in the sky far away from the bright moon.They are like shining diamonds, some radiate dazzling golden light, and some emit a faint white light.Some of them are scattered in all directions, and some are densely clustered. How beautiful and magnificent the sky is decorated by them!It's a pity that no one in Moon City can see such a beautiful night sky.
"Niang Niang, what should we do now?" You Feng broke the tranquility with a breath of death, his handsome eyes were full of worry.
Su Xueqing came back to her senses, looked around, and found that the people infected with the epidemic seemed to be asleep.Gradually, their painful and helpless cries could no longer be heard, she sighed and said, "We divide into two groups, one group is responsible for cleaning out the open space in front, and then disinfecting it. Then bring me Those clothes were laid out, and another group of people was responsible for carrying out the people who were still alive here, and then treated them."
Seeing that Su Xueqing had a clear division of labor, everyone clasped their hands together and said, "Yes!"
"Ah—" Just as everyone was about to act, a scream pierced the sky.Everyone was frightened and hurriedly looked towards the place where the sound came from.
At this time, a young man with a withered complexion, tattered clothes, messy hair, and black and gray face jumped up from a pile of dead people.
He hugged his ears, crying and shouting on the spot, screaming and making noise.The people around Su Xueqing were so frightened that they were helpless.
Of course, Su Xueqing was also quite frightened, and thought to herself, could it be that the corpse was fraudulent?
Through the moonlight, the man seemed to see that there were living people here, and it was so white that it was particularly eye-catching.At that moment, he rushed towards this side suddenly. Seeing the strange scene of this man, everyone took Su Xueqing's huge body as a protective wall, and all of them shrank back and asked with frightened eyes: "What is this?" Is it a ghost or a human?"
The night was as cold as water, and the wind was blowing violently. The man's figure was thin and rampant.Like a demon possessed by something, they chased after them.
"You are here to save me, right? You must have been sent by the court to save us. Quickly save me, I am not dead, I am not suffering from the plague, I am still alive."
The man was obviously weeping with joy, and he went forward and hugged Su Xueqing's arm with his hands that seemed to have crawled through the coal mine. His look of eagerness to live was like grabbing the last straw.
Everyone was scared out of their wits by his actions.After all, in the eyes of the ancients, the existence of ghosts and gods has a solid foundation.Su Xueqing is different, he thinks that gods and ghosts are just invented by later generations to pass the boring time, and it is also a way to deceive children.All this is not scientific.Therefore, she was not as scared as the others, but felt the man's temperature with her heart.
After realizing that he really had a body temperature and breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around calmly: "Don't be afraid, he's alive."
That person was overjoyed to be confirmed by Su Xueqing, as if he wanted to hug her to express the excitement and hope in his heart.It's a pity that before the next move was successful, he was pushed far away by You Feng.That frail body seemed as slender as a willow branch, almost about to fall down.But he stood up swayingly again, the ecstasy on his face still didn't subside, but he restrained himself and stood aside.
"Your Majesty, don't let him get close to you. If you get infected with the plague, it will be..."
Before he finished speaking, the man looked like he had been slapped with chicken blood, his eyes were red, and he shouted madly: "I don't have the plague, I'm not infected, don't talk nonsense. Look, how strong I am, I'm still alive, I am not a patient."
He repeatedly emphasized that he did not have the plague, and was even so angry that he wanted to rush over to kill someone.You Feng and others saw it, they were weird at first, but they still couldn't believe it later.After all, it is impossible for a normal person to behave like him, completely losing his mind, a bit like a mad dog.
Su Xueqing stood in place, revealing her eyes, like summer dew, crystal clear and full of wisdom.
She said, "I ask you, why can you prove that you don't have the plague?"
Asked by Su Xueqing, the man seemed to calm down a bit, but his dark eyes still couldn't hide the pain and loss and said: "I don't know, someone was sick in the village that day, and my father asked me to go to the mountain to collect herbs. I was infected with the plague, but I was not. In the next few days, the village burned down, and Yuecheng was closed. I stayed here for four days, and I was unscathed. However, no one believed me, and the officers and soldiers outside would not let me Get out, I was imprisoned here alive, and up to now, I have not shown symptoms like theirs."
After the volunteers at the back saw that he was indeed a human, everyone gradually let go of their fear.Everyone stood up, blocked Su Xueqing behind, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't believe him, if he is not infected, how could he be like this? Look at his expression, appearance, and movements, he is completely out of control. Wild horses don't have the rational emotions of normal people at all."
When someone said this, the man seemed to be irritated again, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched.With an appearance of going forward desperately, he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "If you were to put a normal person like you in a group of dying people, completely disregarding your life and death, maybe you would have been treated as a But you, every day, you have to watch some neighbors, friends, and playmates who get along day and night, leave and die one by one, the feeling of being helpless and powerless, if it were you, would you be like me? Same, being driven crazy?"
The man's words seemed to touch everyone instantly.Everyone was silent, after all, it sounded very reasonable.It's just that what everyone doesn't believe is why he survived this disaster?
You Feng first asked aloud: "Since you are fine, why did you scream in that crowd just now?"
"I haven't eaten for almost three days, and now I don't have any strength in my body, so you pushed me just now, and I almost fainted. Just now, because I was so hungry, I didn't have the strength to lie on the ground and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, those damned mice crawled out and bit my ears, and I woke up in pain for a while, so I jumped up from the ground."
Everyone finally understood what he said.If everyone had 18.00% doubts before, I am afraid that only 50.00% are left now.
"What? Don't you still believe me?" Seeing that they were indifferent, the eyes that were only exposed outside were full of suspicion, and asked in disappointment and pain.
At this time, all the volunteers first looked at each other, then at Youfeng, and Su Xueqing.For a while, no one can pay attention.It's right to save people, but everyone can't tell the origin of this person, and whether he has a disease, or a more serious disease than this.Because his actions just now were too frightening, leaving an indelible shadow on everyone's hearts.
"Your Majesty, we are saving lives. Right now, we can only take him in." Under the moonlight, Youfeng Yinsi looked ethereal and ethereal like a veil, reminiscent of a fairy descended from the mortal world.
Su Xueqing nodded and agreed: "I think so too. Whether he has the plague or not, we are all saved. It would be even better if he didn't. We can find out from him and save him."
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded together.
Seeing this, the man danced with joy.But after thinking about it, it was because he was too crazy just now that everyone suspected him. At that moment, he immediately stopped his movements, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you benefactor for your help, thank you, thank you..."
"We were sent by the imperial court to rescue and end this plague. You have to promise us one condition, that is, after you are cured, you must help us save people together, and you are not allowed to escape from here."
The man listened to Su Xueqing's words, nodded and agreed: "No, no, I, Tie Zhu, are not afraid of death. But didn't the court say that they don't care about the lives of the people here?"
"Why? Aren't we here to help?"
The man named Tie Zhu raised his chin suspiciously: "But the officers and soldiers outside said that the people here are a catastrophe, doomed to die, and no one can save us..."
"Nonsense, ask your people to take him down to eat first, and we will continue to save people."
"it is good!"
Soon, Tie Zhu was taken down.At this time, Su Xueqing and the others split up, and in the vast moonlight, everyone split up.
Those who take care of the dead take care of the dead, and those who take care of the sick take care of the sick.Everyone didn't stop for a moment, as if if they slackened for a second, a life would be lost.
In a blink of an eye, more than two hours passed.Su Xueqing and You Feng's people have already cleaned up the scene that can be seen in front of them.
It was an August day, and it was still sultry at night.Everyone was almost sweaty from exhaustion, and their white sleeves had been rubbed yellow.
At this time, You Feng came over, and said to Su Xueqing with tired eyes: "Madam, why don't you take a break. Next, let my people go!"
Su Xueqing shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll let you boil some water and wipe off the dirt on the faces of the living patients."
"I've sent someone to do this."
"Well, how many dead bodies were just cleaned up?"
"There are more than 30 dead, and there are more than 20 who are dying, and the others should still be alive for a few days."
"Okay, dig a big pit for the dead body and cremate it!"
"Niang Niang, this..." Hearing this, You Feng was a little surprised.Even if those people died, they were still human lives. It would be cruel to think of burning them with a fire.He couldn't believe that such words would come from a woman's mouth.
Su Xueqing knew that he was kind-hearted, so she definitely couldn't bear it, so she analyzed softly: "This plague must be caused by the hot and dry weather without rain for a long time. The crops have lost their harvest, and the people have no harvest. You see that the rats are infested here, and they all come out to look for food It makes everything unhygienic, and bacteria are easy to be infected at this time. Now, these people are dead, and if they are buried one by one, it will definitely be too late. And burying them is not necessarily hygienic, it is better to be cremated. You see tomorrow The weather here should be unusually hot, and the corpses piled up together will soon rot, and when I think about it, the consequences are even more unimaginable."
"So the empress thinks so!" You Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her with some admiration.If it is said that he has never subdued anyone wholeheartedly in this life, then Empress is an exception.She is a woman, not to mention how noble her character is, but her rational and wise attitude in dealing with things is enough to convince people.Originally, he thought that this golden lady, who enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the palace, came out of the palace to cure the plague this time, just to make a name for herself, or as a fun game, but now it seems that he was completely wrong .
"You Feng, early tomorrow morning, you should write a letter and tell the palace that the situation is serious, and ask them to urgently transport food, clothes, quilts, and medicines. Everything here can no longer be used. , we will burn them all."
"Yes!"
