After traveling westward for dozens of miles along the Xijiang River, the ship turned to a tributary of the Xijiang River, Minhe River, that is, turned northeast, and then sailed towards Yunhu County.
Yunhu County is actually connected to Donghai County, but it is separated by the towering Ziyun Mountains. There are only a few long mountain roads connecting them in the mountains, and they are extremely dangerous.
It's just that in the Ziyun Mountains where wild beasts roam, apart from some winding paths, to be honest, no one really dares to walk.
The biggest feature of Yunhu County is that there are many lakes, and the biggest feature is that there are many people, and all kinds of agricultural products are abundant. It is the grain-producing land of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the place where animal husbandry is the most developed.
But this such an important place is controlled by the Spirit Beast Sect. In addition to controlling the prairie in the northern Song Dynasty, the Spirit Beast Sect only controls Yunhu County in the south.
There are too many members of the Spirit Beast Sect, and their main business is breeding and selling. They can be said to be one family in the world. The production, transportation, and sales of all livestock products are done by their members, and they are monopolized. In essence, they are the sum of one industry.
The Spirit Beast Sect also participated in the founding of the Song Dynasty and became the most powerful guild.
Now the Spirit Beast Sect is not only a guild, but also a powerful sect.
The headquarters of the Spirit Beast Sect is in Monan County in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. Yunhu County is also the only place it controls in the southern part of the Song Dynasty.
After three days of sailing, the boat sailed upstream along the Min River and entered Yunhu County.
Yunhu County is naturally named after Yunhu Lake. Yunhu Lake is huge, not because it is big, but because it is really vast. Yunhu Lake is vast and thousands of miles in radius, but it is actually composed of thousands of small lakes. These small lakes are all connected to Yunhu Lake through rivers. In other words, Yunhu County actually has as many as a thousand lakes.
Not long after the boat entered Yunhu County, only two days later, Ye Xing saw many bad things, because countless small boats were leaving quickly, and more people were dragging their families to escape on the river bank.
After asking around, I learned that there was a plague in various nearby towns.
The rich families fled by boat, while the poor had no choice but to run away on the road. In fact, they couldn't go there because there was an epidemic in the neighboring towns.
In the past, plagues would occur every few years, and they were all plagues of livestock and poultry, but this time is a little different. It is a plague that affects both humans, livestock and poultry. Now many people have died, even thousands of villages have died. , including various animals.
Regardless of whether they were humans or animals, those infected all vomited blood and died. No one knew exactly what kind of disease it was, but it was really scary because it was contagious and zoonotic.
After listening to the descriptions of other people on the boat, Ye Xing immediately drove the boat to the center of a large lake and stopped, jumped on the tall mast, and then used a telescope to observe the countryside around the lake.
Under high-power telescopes, the roadside has become a hell on earth. There are many people, livestock, animals, and poultry lying dead on the ground. The most disgusting thing is that the bodies are bleeding and the whole body is black.
Hearing Ye Xing's sigh, everyone on the boat took out their telescopes and looked at the embankments around the lake. Everyone's expressions immediately changed and they looked at Ye Xing together.
The two women began to tremble uncontrollably and vomit. It was truly a hell on earth, and the scene was horrifying.
Ye Xing couldn't bear to look directly, but he still pulled the telescope to the maximum and carefully observed the deceased who fell to the ground.
The face of the deceased was black and bruised, and the body was bleeding. Those who fell to the ground but were not dead were unconscious or still thrashing around, obviously in extreme pain before death.
Ye Xing said in a low voice, "Everyone put on the masks I prepared for everyone. Wear as many as you can. Finally, wrap them in a headscarf and set sail immediately!"
Ye Xing himself quickly entered his cabin and took out the black mask and headscarf placed in his combat uniform.
Everyone changed into combat uniforms in a short time, including the two women. The ship also started to move and hoisted its big sail.
Because it has power, the boat drives very fast, constantly surpassing the boats in front.
Two hours later, there was a relatively large town ahead, Daojiang City, which is now Jiangshang City.
But now they are not allowed to enter at all. All the doors are closed. People outside the city and at the pier keep shouting to open the door. The people in the city ignore them at all. Countless people kneel on the ground, crying and shouting loudly.
Many people were already sick outside the city. They were all covered in blood and screaming in pain.
It is impossible for the big ship to dock at the dock now. Even if it does, it will not be able to enter the city.
Ye Xing looked at the wide river and the chaotic situation around him, and had no choice but to let the boat continue to move forward.
Everyone was silent on the deck watching people dying outside the city. In the face of this plague, individuals are so insignificant and insignificant, and the best way is to escape.
Ye Xing let the two eagles fly down and tied them to the deck with ropes, fearing that the two birds would fly over and contact the bodies of dead animals.
Everyone had no appetite and just stared at the shore not too far away speechlessly.
Ye Xing was different. He took out the paper and started writing quickly. He asked the uneaten food on the ship not to be dumped into Jiang, put it in a bucket, and placed it in a corner of the ship's deck.
Following the Daojiang River and sailing with power, we arrived at the county town of Yunhu County at dawn. Yunhu City is located to the northeast of Yunhu County.
We haven't reached the dock yet and can't get ashore because too many ships have blocked all the docks. Although Yunhu City has not been closed, it has also received information about the epidemic.
There are four gates in Yunhu City, and they are all ajar now, and are guarded by fully armed soldiers. Anyone with a cough or fever is not allowed to enter the city, and those who do not bring their own food are not allowed to enter. Now there are gold and silver treasures It's useless. Food is the only way to save life. There is no food left to sell in the city.
Ye Xing parked the boat in the lake, not connected to other boats, and told everyone not to panic. As long as they don't come into contact with infected people and animals, they won't get sick.
The two women and the entourage didn't understand why Ye Xing stopped here and didn't go away. Wouldn't it be better to go as far away as possible?
The many eyes under the hood all showed puzzled expressions.
Ye Xing thought for a while, stared at the crowd, and spoke in a low and powerful voice, "I know everyone is scared. But I know how to deal with this epidemic. If I don't do my best to solve this epidemic, I will be worried for the rest of my life. Sad and uneasy!”
After pausing for a while, Ye Xing's voice was still deep and authentic, "The plague is a hemorrhagic fever spread by rats and similar small beasts. I know how to solve it. If you are worried, park the boat in the middle of the lake and don't let anyone People get on the boat, or go to another city hundreds of miles ahead to wait for me."
"I will go to the city to help stop the epidemic. If successful, it can save millions of lives! Or even tens of millions of people. If it spreads to Donghae County, our family members will also be infected."
Qin Jingxuan opened her big eyes and said in surprise, "Are you sure you can solve it?"
Ye Xing took out a stack of paper, handed it to her hand, and said calmly, "I have already written a solution. As long as you keep a sufficient distance, you will definitely be safe! And you are innate masters, and your internal power is fully functioning. It can resist all diseases outside the body."
Qin Jingxuan took a quick look at it, then passed it to Qin Xinyue, and then passed it on to others.
The five pieces of paper explained the cause of the plague, its transmission route, the solution, and the internal power operation method for full-body protection that Ye Xing prepared for everyone to quickly practice.
Everyone finished reading quickly, because they almost worshiped Ye Xing as a god, and now that Ye Xing had clearly analyzed all the situations and solutions to the plague, they immediately felt at ease.
Qin Xinyue said decisively, "Ye Xing, we believe you! You can make arrangements and save millions of people. What a great merit that is. We have done it!"
Ye Xing swept over everyone's faces one by one. Everyone nodded slowly, but also said calmly, "Master, please arrange it! We absolutely trust you!"
Ye Xing said, "You stay on the ship and assist Jingxuan in making special medicines according to the pharmaceutical plan I gave. Only she has experience in refining medicines. Jingxuan is fully responsible and no one can violate it! Can it be done?", said He stared at Qin Xinyue.
Qin Xinyue said hurriedly, "My sister is the most powerful, I have no objection at all!"
Ye Xing said, "Remember, no outsiders are allowed on board. Now I will pass on the method of internal force operation to you. You should study it a hundred times immediately, so that the internal force can completely and automatically resist the invasion of all plagues."
Ye Xing passed on the exercise method to everyone and asked everyone to practice immediately.
This method of distributing power throughout the body is actually very simple. Nowadays, all of us are innate masters, and everyone has mastered it after trying it a few times.
An hour later, Ye Xing stood up, nodded to everyone, and ordered an inflatable rubber boat to be put down. He lightly jumped on the boat, used a long pole to lift it, and headed towards the shore.
