Qin Ming pursed his lips. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time for Qin Ming to see someone die at such a close distance.
I also felt very uncomfortable.
He patted the boy's shoulder to comfort him.
Then he stood up and said to Ah Dao behind him:
"Ah Da, please leave two people to help this little brother bury the old man."
After saying that, Qin Ming turned around and walked towards the carriage. At this moment, the young man who had been lying on the old man raised his head and said to Qin Ming:
"I would like to thank you, Zhang Wenyuan, for your great kindness."
After saying that, he bowed his head to Qin Ming. Qin Ming nodded and got on the carriage again.
Yuechan had been watching Qin Ming's actions from the side, and when she saw Qin Ming getting into the car, she also followed him into the car.
Leaving two guards behind, Qin Ming and his party continued towards Chang'an.
But having just witnessed the death of a living person, Qin Ming was no longer in the mood to write a plan.
The carriage was quiet. Yue Chan sat opposite Qin Ming and could see that he was in a bad mood at this time.
But the female martial artist really didn’t know how to comfort people.
She was good at fighting and killing people, but it was really hard for her to comfort people.
As the carriage got closer and closer to Chang'an, Qin Ming saw more and more refugees. They gathered together in twos and threes, their eyes unfocused and numb.
Just staggering towards Chang'an.
Most of these people were haggard in appearance, thin in stature, with messy hair, and looked hungry. They must have been without food for a long time.
In addition to these, Qin and Ming Dynasties could even see government officials carrying dead refugees to the official road every less than three miles.
They were neatly placed together with other dead people, and they should be buried together.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ming felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Living in China in the 21st century, he had never seen such a scene.
After all, this is not a movie, everything is really happening in front of your eyes.
This also allowed him to re-recognize this era, and he suddenly discovered the things that usually bothered him.
Compared to the problems these refugees are facing now, they are nothing worth mentioning.
If he hadn't time-traveled into his current body, but had time-traveled into these refugees, he would have died in minutes.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming suddenly wanted to do his best to help these people.
The motorcade approached the outer city of Chang'an. Qin Ming looked through the car window and suddenly discovered that there were many outer cities in Chang'an. They were similar to military camps and were gathering places for refugees.
They are scattered in open spaces, and from a distance they look like yurts scattered on the grassland.
These gathering places should have been purchased by the imperial court.
When the car drove outside a gathering place, Qin Ming suddenly shouted out the car window to stop.
The carriage stopped, Qin Ming opened the curtain and was about to get out of the car.
Yuechan looked at Qin Ming with some confusion and said:
"Master Qin, where are you going?"
Qin Ming said:
"I want to see those refugee gathering places."
After saying that, Qin Ming jumped off the carriage.
Seeing this, Yue Chan also got off the carriage, although she didn't know why Mr. Qin wanted to go to the gathering place.
But she still followed him to prevent Mr. Qin from being hit or encountering other dangers.
Qin Ming got off the carriage and led Qin Da and others to the gathering place.
The first thing I saw was a group of ragged refugees, lining up outside the gathering place.
Looking forward along the line, I saw a soup kitchen in front of the line.
Not far from the soup kitchen, there was a group of people queuing up.
Qin Dao in the Qin and Ming dynasties:
"Ada, go to the front of that team and see what they are doing."
Then the rest led everyone towards the wooden wall of the gathering place.
There were several guards standing at the gate of the gathering place. When they saw Qin Ming and a group of neatly dressed and rosy-faced people walking towards the gathering place, the leader stepped forward and was about to say something to stop them.
But when he saw a person with a beautiful face behind the crowd, dressed as a maid, and took out a golden token from her arms, his scolding words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Just as he was about to step forward and salute, he saw the woman shaking her head at him.
When the leader saw this, he knew that the person coming was of noble status and did not want to attract other people's attention, so he waved the others away.
As soon as everyone entered the gate, Qin Da ran to Qin Ming and whispered:
"Sir, I asked just now. Those people are queuing up and waiting for the government to arrange work."
Qin Ming nodded, knowing that the work-for-relief plan should have been approved by the court and implemented.
The gathering place where Qin Ming and the others came was very large, about twenty acres in size.
The environment inside the gathering place is very poor. In the innermost part are some adobe houses that look like they have just been built.
Next to these adobe houses, there are many adobe houses under construction. Some people dressed as craftsmen are directing the people to work on the construction sites.
But the most common ones in the camp are military tents similar to those in a military camp.
Qin Ming stopped about ten meters away from the nearest military tent and did not enter the military tent.
Because most of the military tent curtains are open because people are constantly coming in and out.
Qin Ming looked through the curtains and saw that every military tent was full of refugees.
Most of the refugees in the military tents are old people and children. They are in ragged clothes and have sallow complexions and thin bodies.
Perhaps because of the cold weather, many people were crowded together in twos and threes.
In addition to the scenes he saw, Qin Ming walked through several tents about ten meters apart and heard bursts of coughing coming from the tents from time to time.
The coughs made Qin Ming's scalp numb, and he no longer dared to stay in the gathering place.
After knowing the general situation of the gathering place, Qin Ming quickly led everyone back to the carriage with his face as heavy as water.
Qin Ming got on the carriage and took out a small porcelain bottle filled with alcohol from the cabinet in the carriage.
Then he turned around and got out of the carriage, and spread some of the alcohol in the bottle into the hands of himself and the people accompanying him.
Let them each wipe it. Regarding this, Qin Da and others were not confused, because these days, with the arrival of Zhuangzi's upper class.
Basically everyone who has been to a refugee settlement is asked to rub alcohol on their hands when they come back, and everyone is used to it.
The only one among the people who was confused about this behavior was Yue Chan.
However, when she saw everyone's actions, she didn't say anything. She followed Qin Ming's method and wiped the alcohol on her hands.
Qin Ming wiped his hands while thinking about what he had just seen.
Qin Ming judged that among the refugees in the gathering area, most of the young and middle-aged people might have gone to work.
As for the elderly and children left in the tents, many of them have weakened immunity because they have not had enough to eat for a long time.
Coupled with the cold weather, many people suffered from colds and colds.
Moreover, these people probably have not taken a shower or changed their clothes. With so many people crowded into a small and airtight space, it is easy to cause a large-scale influenza.
This is the Tang Dynasty. Ancient people were not like modern people, who received various vaccines, had various antibodies in their bodies, and had a complete medical and health system.
In ancient times, people would die if they caught a cold.
It's no wonder that once there were large-scale refugees in ancient times, they were often accompanied by epidemic diseases. It's strange that there was no cross-infection.
