Chapter 65 Retrograde

Li You's carriage left Mingde Gate, heading southward, and heading towards Qiujia Town, the southernmost point.

Along the way, Li You saw countless carriages and people heading north through the carriage window. Suddenly... A word appeared in Li You's mind, which is the retrograde.

In the year of the Rat in Gengzi, there was a severe epidemic in Jingchu, with more than tens of thousands of people infected, and more than tens of thousands of fiefs. The people were frightened and the national defense was closed, with no cars and horses on the streets, no boats on the water, and all the alleys were empty. For the sake of the people of the world, the court endured the pain of making a country and sealed a city.

In this battle, the veteran general of seventy, Zhong Shuai re-engaged his old subordinates, and brought two generals from both China and the West, leading hundreds of thousands of white clothes to Jingchu, and took charge of Jiangdu, guarding the entrance of life and death day and night.

Mr. Li, the pioneer general under his command, unfortunately died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for his country. The whole country was so sad that he rose up and resisted. He fought to the death and refused to retreat. He shared the same hatred for the enemy. After more than a month or two, the epidemic was gone and the country was prosperous and the people were safe.

This disaster will always be recorded in the alchemy books in history. Later generations should read it and all of them will be sighed at the bravery and fearlessness of the predecessors and wise men.

Hundreds of thousands of white clothes are called retrogrades. When others try to escape from the epidemic area, they go against the trend: no matter how long they return, no matter how dangerous they are, no matter how much they pay, no matter how they live or die! They risk their lives to steal people from the God of Death, and are the well-deserved "the greatest hero" of this era.

Most of these retrogrades' backbone are composed of post-80s and post-00s. After this battle, in the eyes of post-60s and post-70s, all the children who they believe will never grow up have grown up, bringing the country an unyielding vitality.

With these children, Jingchu is the blessing of the country, and the blessing of the nation.

Li You's retracement this time was not because of Li You's Holy Mother, but because Li You experienced some things that he could not forget, so he did not hesitate, which was his responsibility.

................

Li You was not afraid of danger and went against the road, but in the dark, an action against Li You was going to be launched.

In the palace in Chang'an.

Concubine Yan leaned slightly on the bed. At this time, a little eunuch was reporting something to Concubine Yan. Suddenly, Concubine Yan suddenly sat up from the bed and opened her eyes and asked, "Are you sure... there are really hundreds of thousands of coins?"

Soon, the little eunuch nodded quickly: "Yes... I'm sure, these are easy to calculate, because the price and quantity are all dead, just add or subtract a little."

"Do you know if Li You donated this time?" Concubine Yan Xian looked at the eunuch with anticipation.

However, the eunuch shook his head slightly: "Empress, I really don't know about the donation. However, it is said that the officials have finished donating, and Shangshu Tang should report to His Majesty soon.

As for the private donations, there should be news in three days.”

"Okay... Then wait for three days... After three days, if Li You's donation comes out, no matter how much he donates, I will also release the number of his recent profits as soon as possible.

Haha...!" Concubine Yan showed a smile and said proudly: "Hundreds of thousands of coins of profit, even if he donated ten thousand coins this time, it will arouse the disgust of the people of Chang'an... Unless he is a fool, donating all his money.

Humph... There is no such fool in the world, and Li You must not be.

As long as we can induce public opinion well... this matter is a big deal, and His Majesty will once again make him feel annoying about Li You. Li You want to play the prodigal son and turn back.

This palace makes him dream... By the way, you should also notify my younger brother quickly about this matter and let him and I make a big deal of things together. As long as His Majesty hates his son more and more, no one will pay attention to Li You's death."

"Empress wise..." the little eunuch bowed.

At night, it is still twenty miles away from Qiujia Town and will be there about tomorrow morning. At this time, Li You and Xiao Baoer were sleeping in a carriage, walking along the way... The tragic appearance after the earthquake was really shocking.

Unlike modern times, after an earthquake, no large number of troops went to the disaster area. Because when it comes to earthquakes, it is mostly necessary to rely on the village to save itself.

The prefect and county magistrate, first ensure that the living people can continue to survive, open warehouses and release grain, suppress prices, and set up porridge factories everywhere.

The army will rescue disasters nearby or rescue itself, because some of the troops are suppressed very badly.

Moreover, the golden rescue time for earthquakes is 72 hours. This tragic situation is about to be completed. If the army in other places moves in, a few days have passed and people will die long ago. There are various high-speed transportation tools, so the army can appear quickly, thanks to the development of communications and transportation. If it is not developed, it will still not be able to enter.

But this does not mean that the ancient army did not participate in disaster relief, they participated.

Li You and Xiao Baoer saw and heard all the way, and they were shocking. Many people died and more people were buried. However, because there was no way, they could only continue to bury them. The dead could only be put aside and wait for someone to claim them.

The most terrifying thing is that there are a large number of wounded people, including those with broken hands and legs, those with broken legs, those with broken legs... everywhere. In addition, the weather is very cold now, and suddenly there is no home. I just live in the wild, and the wind and cold will come soon.

Unlike now, wind and cold in ancient times would kill people, so Li You did not come down to save people along the way because Li You wanted to leave these modern medicines to those who needed them the most.

And the people who need it most must be those in the focal center.

People outside will soon receive help from the court, and the Imperial Medical Office will also arrive, but the people at the focal center will suffer even more.

"Help...Help...Who will save our children...!"

Just as Li You and Xiao Baoer were rushing to go at night, Li You suddenly heard a woman's voice sound outside.

"Baoer..." Li You immediately asked Xiao Baoer outside: "Listen, is there anyone outside calling for help..."

"Yes, teacher...a woman in her thirty years old is holding a child under three years old in her arms, and the child is crying...!"

Li You opened the curtain and looked at Xiao Baoer in surprise and asked, "Do you have a perspective, can you see so clearly at night?"

"What is the clam...what is the perspective eye?" Xiao Baoer was surprised.

"Uh..." Put away the joke, Li You said, "It's nothing... Let's go and see what's going on first."

After a while, Li You got off the carriage and came to the woman who was shouting for help. When the woman saw someone coming, she hurriedly ran to Li You and Xiao Baoer with the child in her arms.

He then begged: "A kind-hearted young man, please save my poor child. I will make you a cow and horse for you in the next life and repay the kind-hearted young man's great kindness." As he said that, the woman was about to kneel down.

Li You quickly helped the woman and shouted, "Sister... Don't do this, you can see the child's condition first."

"Okay..." The woman quickly handed the child in her hand to Li You to check. Li You just touched the child's little head and frowned slightly: "High fever convulsions...it's very dangerous."

"What..." Li You's words scared the woman's tears, and the woman asked in panic: "Young master... My child won't have any trouble... If he has something to do, I don't want to live anymore."

"Don't worry... I'm here, nothing will happen. Sister... Go to our carriage first... I will definitely cure your child...!"

Li You smiled confidently.
