"When I find what polluted the water source, I will be able to prescribe the right medicine." Chen Xian looked at him, "Su Zhe, wait a little longer."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Zhe said softly, "Axian, go quickly and do what you should do."

Chen Xian pursed her lips, and his figure was deeply embedded in her black and white eyes. She asked, "Su Zhe, can I come and hug you?"

I miss him very much. He was clearly right in front of me, but I was still thinking about him all the time.

Su Zhe raised his lips and said, "Yes, but it's not now. I'll hug you after the plague has passed, okay?"

Chen Xian gritted her teeth, turned her head and left.

She had just arrived in front of the yamen and sent medicine with He You routinely. Several personal soldiers hurried back and said, "Princess Qi, my subordinates have checked along the Xianghe River Basin, and they have indeed found a problem."

Chen Xian's brows moved: "What's the problem?"

"I saw that some dead mice were occasionally washed to the shore by the river."

It is not surprising that the rat's nest is drowned in the river after rain. But it is not surprising that rats are drowned in the river. However, if you have this discovery, you cannot be careless.

Chen Xian frowned and said, "But Xianghe is not a mere small river ditches, with considerable water volume and strong self-purification ability. If it is just a few dead mice, it will not cause such a serious epidemic."

The personal soldier said: "I am just speculating and dare not make a rash conclusion that this plague must be related to dead rats. So I am leading my men to search outside the gate of the Xiang River into Jingcheng."

In order to control the water of Xianghe River, there is also a gate outside Jingcheng. Where the gate is widened and deep, the river channel is stored in order to store the river water.

When the rainfall is abundant, close the gate so that while storing water, it will not flood Jingcheng; when the rainfall is scarce, the gate can be opened appropriately to allow the people in the city to have water.

However, when this autumn flood disaster came, the gate was closed, and only part of the river water flowed into the city from under the gate, which could effectively block the silt and control the water level.

"What did you find?"

The personal soldiers paused and looked strange: "The subordinates found that there were groups of dead mice intercepted outside the gate. 1;148471591054062."

I guess the picture is very disgusting, so that the personal soldiers who are used to life and death will show this expression.

Chen Xian immediately said, "Import the city guard immediately and let's go and have a look."

Soon the city guard came to hear the news.

If the plague can be dispelled, the city guard is quite willing to cooperate.

So the group immediately rushed to the Xianghe Gate outside Jingcheng.

The wide and deep river channel almost forms a small lake here, which is completely sufficient for the water used by the people in the city and the water used for farmland irrigation.

The city guard said that since the Great Chu ceded the city, many people from the south have poured in Jingcheng at once.

In addition, it rains as autumn begins, landslides and collapses frequently occur in various places near Jingcheng, crops and fields are destroyed, and the people are wandering around the famine.

The order in the city was once very chaotic, and the city guard was exhausted for a while. As soon as the water level of Xiang River rose, the city guard ordered the gate to be closed, leaving only the tooth-shaped gap under the gate, allowing the river water to flow through the gap to control the water level.

Later, I heard that the upper Yuncheng was clearing the river, so the city guards didn't have to worry about it, so I never came to take care of it here again.

After the outbreak of the plague in the city, the city guard was in a mess, and he never thought that the problem was at this critical moment.

Standing by the lake made up of river water, Chen Xian looked up and saw a layer of black things floating on the water above the gate.

Because the river flows into the city from under the gate, the black thing can only float on the water surface and cannot pass through the gate.

The closer you get, you can smell a nauseating smell in the air.

When he got closer enough, the city guard saw the things on the water clearly. Before he could speak, he covered his mouth and ran to the side and vomited.

The others who accompanied him endured the nausea of ​​vomiting.

He You said nauseously: "Chen Xian, stop watching, it's so disgusting..."

Chen Xian's face changed, and he didn't agree.

She looked at the water quietly. The groups of black things, the previous personal soldiers did not lie, were all dead mice, and they were dense and shocking!

The dead mice were soaked in the water, their stomachs bulged, and they emitted an indescribable stench.

It’s just that the weather is wet and cold, the temperature in the water is not high, the smell of stench is not very strong, and it does not emit far away. During the rainy season, no one came to this dangerous place, so no one has noticed it.

Even if these dead rats could not flow into the city, the water flowing into the city below was still contaminated by the dead rats.

It is hard to imagine that the people in the city have been taking the water from the river to drink!

No wonder the plague was unable to be suppressed before, because people always had to drink water. As long as they drank the water in the river, they would increase the risk of getting sick.

Chen Xian held back his disgust and said, "Why are there so many dead mice?"

She could understand that there were dead mice on rainy days, but she didn't expect there would be so many.

The city guard couldn't understand it, so he had to say, "It's rainy season, and it is inevitable that animals drowned by the rain will be washed into the river."

Then Chen Xian sent someone to row a boat to salvage all the dead mice.

From beginning to end, Chen Xian stood on the shore, pursing her lips tightly and staring speechlessly until there was no dead rat on the water.

He Youyou advised her, saying, "Aren't you afraid of mice? Don't look at it. Just leave it here for them to deal with it. Let's go back to the city first."

Chen Xian shook her head.

Seeing that she was so persistent, He You didn't force her.

He, Shen Xian and Cheng Shou were just standing on the shore to watch, and the personal soldiers who rowed into the water were really hard and difficult.

The dead rat caught was later splashed with oil and burned in a fire.

The burning smell accompanied by the rotten smell was even more disgusting.

Halfway through the way back, Chen Xian moved his mind, looked at He You, and said, "Who told you that I am afraid of mice?"

She didn't remember that she had been afraid of this thing, and she didn't remember that she had shown that she had been afraid in front of He You.

He You casually said, "It was Su Zhe who said it."

Somehow, Chen Xian's heartbeat was cold and she couldn't help but leak. It was probably because she saw so many dead mice all at once, so she was particularly sensitive to mice.

After a long time, Chen Xian heard his voice and asked softly: "What did he say?"

He You said: "Last time in Yuncheng, I saw him catching a mouse at night. He said you were afraid, which made the mouse quarrel so loudly that it couldn't sleep."

Chen Xian's face turned a little pale.

When He You said this, he also noticed something was wrong. He turned his head to look at Chen Xian, and said silly: "Are you... not afraid of mice?"
