Leng Yan'er's words made Mu Yan, Xia Yifeng and Feng Ruowu couldn't help but frown and glance at each other. Without thinking too much, they followed the county magistrate's footsteps and walked deeper into the alley.
Not long after walking, Mu Yan heard an extremely miserable cry coming from a room in front of him. He was startled and stopped. Mu Yan looked at the county magistrate in front of him and shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that this
I'm afraid this is not the first person to die in this family.
Walking into the house slowly, Xia Yifeng looked at the simple furnishings in the house, followed the narrow corridor, and walked into the room where crying sounds kept coming.
"Who are you?!" Hearing the footsteps, the crying woman in the room suddenly turned her head and looked at Xia Yifeng and others warily. After seeing the county magistrate, the woman relaxed a little, but she still had a look on her face.
The man who was guarding the kang forlornly said sternly: "Go away, I won't let you burn my husband-in-law to death."
"These are the imperial doctors sent by the emperor to treat you." The county magistrate introduced Xia Yifeng and others to the woman in a low voice, because Xia Yifeng had warned the county magistrate before that he should not reveal Xia Yifeng's identity as the emperor.
, so the county magistrate did not dare to say more, "You, mother and son, are the only two people left in your family. You can't solve the problem by crying all the time. Please let the imperial doctor take a look at your husband's condition, so that everyone can understand."
number"
The county magistrate's words made the woman's mood slowly calm down and she cautiously moved to the side. The woman looked back sadly at the man on the kang, whose face was so pale that it was frightening, and she shed tears unconsciously.
of slowly flowing from the eyes
The woman's actions allowed Mu Yan and others to see clearly the man's condition. His pale face and blue eyes were so thin that only his skin and bones were left, making him look even more lifeless.
Slowly opening his eyes, the man glanced at his wife feebly, and then coughed violently.
Coughs passed into everyone's ears, and they kept hitting everyone's heart. Mu Yan watched the man coughing violently, and his face became a little red as he coughed. He couldn't help but sigh. At this moment
, the man actually spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Quickly pulling Feng Ruowu and Leng Yaner in front of him behind him, Mu Yan quickly covered his nose and mouth with his sleeves, then turned to look at the two of them, and whispered: "Don't rely on that
It’s close, please pay attention”
Taking two steps back, Mu Yan never came closer to the kang, watching silently as the woman wiped her husband's body. Seeing the woman's sad expression, but without any hint of timidity, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel pity for her.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately.
In this case, this woman could have left here, but she never left this man. Perhaps, this is the unique quality of ancient women...?
Lowering his head, Mu Yan made random guesses in his mind, and then denied his random thoughts with a wry smile.
"How long has your husband been suffering from this disease?" After clearing his throat, Mu Yan looked at the woman with burning eyes and asked softly.
"It's only two days." The movements of her hands slowly stopped. The woman smiled bitterly at Mu Yan and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law also died of the plague in only seven or eight days."
, a good home has become like this..."
As she spoke, the woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her crying gradually became louder, until she finally broke down in tears.
The woman kept crying, which made Xia Yifeng a little impatient and pushed the three imperial doctors in front of her towards the kang. Xia Yifeng said in a clear voice: "Why don't you go and see what's going on?!"
"I obey the decree..."
Xia Yifeng responded with a trembling voice. The three imperial doctors walked slowly to the kang and carefully examined the body of the man on the kang. Mu Yan, who saw Xia Yifeng's actions, smiled disapprovingly.
Xia Yifeng is a person who doesn't care about other people's life and death, so everything here doesn't mean much to him. Who dies and who lives is the same in Xia Yifeng's heart. This time he came to the disaster area,
It was a whim decision. Although Xia Yifeng was the master of a country, Mu Yan knew that worrying about the life and death of strangers was impossible for Xia Yifeng.
"Who was the first person in your family to get sick?" After thinking about it, Mu Yan turned his attention to the woman again and asked softly.
"It's my father-in-law." Lowering her head, the woman told Mu Yan what had happened in the past few days, "My father-in-law is not in good health and has been bedridden. But even so, there is no other reaction, at most
He just couldn't move. But a few days ago, my father-in-law's health suddenly failed. He had fever, cough, and vomited blood. A few days after my father-in-law passed away, my mother-in-law had the same reaction. Then, my husband-in-law..."
Glancing deeply at the man on the kang, the woman sighed softly, closed her eyes and continued: "I'm afraid it will be me next."
Fever... cough... vomiting blood...
Mu Yan kept repeating these three words in his mind, and remained silent for a long time. Then suddenly his eyes flashed, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Mu Yan's mouth.
"Before your father-in-law got sick, did he take any medicine or anything he had never eaten before?" Mu Yan raised his head and asked with a smile.
The smile that suddenly appeared on Mu Yan's face made the woman a little overwhelmed, and also made Xia Yifeng and others curiously cast their eyes on the woman.
After listening to Mu Yan's question, the woman thought for a moment and said, "I did take some medicine, but the medicine was given by my neighbor, so there is nothing wrong with it."
"Where did your neighbor's medicinal materials come from?" Gradually confirming his thoughts, Mu Yan continued to ask with a sneer: "From my point of view, the residents here are not rich enough to buy medicine for themselves.
Treating diseases is already a difficult task, so how can he have the spare money to buy medicines for your family? Or is it that your neighbor’s medicinal materials were also donated by others? "
"That's right." She nodded. The woman didn't expect that Mu Yan would know that. "A few days ago, a living Bodhisattva came to our place. He cured several patients here and left some medicinal materials.
Let us follow his method to overcome my neighbor's illness, which was cured by the Living Bodhisattva!"
Living Bodhisattva...
Sneering and looking at Feng Ruowu, Mu Yan had already figured out the whole story.
Murong Zixuan, I didn’t expect you to use such a move...
