Xiao Jue was extremely angry. A child who was still alive was thrown away by them like this? Do these people have any intentions?
He held his hands tightly and asked Qin Junyan: "What should we do now? Will Xiao Miao'er be rescued?"
Otherwise, how could the child disappear?
Qin Jun said: "Xiao Miao'er may have been taken away by You'an and Shen Rui. The city is searching for their whereabouts. They don't dare to go back to Yangzhou City. They must have gone to the capital. They just don't know Xiao Miao'er's condition. how?"
Boss Huang said that the child had smallpox. If it really was smallpox, he would be in trouble.
He said to Xiao Jue: "I sent a message to the regent and asked him to send a doctor along the way to meet him. Let King Jing stay to deal with the affairs of Yangzhou City while we go after Shen Rui and You'an."
"good."
Xiao Jue nodded and rushed back to the city to tell King Jing.
At this time, Shen Rui and Xiao Youan found a village and found the local doctor.
But when the doctor checked Xiao Miao'er's pulse, his face changed with fear and he said, "You should take the child away, I...I can't save her."
Shen Rui was shocked: "Aren't you a doctor? Why can't you save her?"
The doctor said: "She may have smallpox. This disease has no cure and is contagious. You should leave the village as soon as possible."
Shen Rui hugged Xiao Miaoer and knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Doctor, please, please save my sister."
The doctor said: "It's useless to beg me. My medical skills are mediocre and I can't cure it at all. Instead of wasting my time here, I might as well go find another doctor and maybe there is a chance of survival."
Shen Rui wanted to beg again, but Xiao Youan pulled him up and said, "Don't embarrass the doctor."
He said to the doctor: "Can you give us some dry food?"
Seeing that they were young and had a sick child, the doctor felt sorry for them, so he prepared some dry food for them, and then warned: "You'd better cover your mouth and nose and don't touch the rash on the child. Remember not to let her scratch you."
He gave them another bottle of pills and said, "This is to exorcise evil spirits and prevent epidemics. Take it. I hope it will be useful."
Xiao Youan thanked him and left the village with dry food and pills.
Because smallpox is highly contagious, in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading and affecting the common people, they did not take the crowded official road, but found a deserted path.
Shen Rui hugged Xiao Miao'er, his heart clenching. He didn't eat or drink for a whole day, he just kept rushing to find the doctor.
He only had one thought: to save his sister, he couldn't let her die like this.
Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground, still holding Xiao Miao'er tightly in his arms.
Xiao Youan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Let me do it, you won't be able to hold on like this."
"no."
Shen Rui said: "It's contagious, You'an, I can't hurt you."
Xiao Youan's eyes were serious and he said: "Do you think I will be afraid?" He took Xiao Miao'er from Shen Rui's hand and said: "If you want to save your sister, just listen to me. You eat something first, drink some water, and put that I’ve taken the anti-epidemic medicine.”
Shen Rui had no appetite, so he just swallowed the medicine casually and asked: "How long will it take us to return to the capital if we leave like this?"
Xiao Youan said: "It's not an option to go like this. I'll try to get a carriage tomorrow."
He lowered his head and looked at little Miao'er in his arms. Although her fever had gone down a bit, she was still a little hot, and there were more and more rashes on her body.
And she felt so uncomfortable that she always wanted to scratch it, but they remembered the doctor's words and wouldn't let her move.
