At the corner of Xicheng, there are five houses on Long Street.
When heavy armored cavalry travel, pedestrians should give way.
The simple courtyard was now heavily surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Although Ling Xiyue was used to living alone, He Fei did not dare to take her safety lightly. In the heavily guarded isolation area, she was always followed by a large group of people, let alone
Come outside.
The most important thing is that in such a difficult place, riots often occur, so we must take precautions.
Ling Xiyue didn't embarrass He Fei. He wanted to follow him like this, so she acquiesced.
She was walking around the yard attentively, her eyes like sharp knives scanning the surroundings, not missing any inch. This plague was strange, and she couldn't find any effective cure for it, so she could only look for the source to find a breakthrough.
And if the source is not found, there is always the risk of another outbreak.
This is where the first person infected with the epidemic appeared, so there should be some clues left behind.
However, Ling Xiyue patrolled the whole house inside and out, turning the whole house upside down, but found nothing suspicious.
"Impossible..." Ling Xiyue frowned coldly, standing in the courtyard with her hand on her chin, muttering to herself, "This symptom is a bit like a virus. If it's just vegetables, eating them bad will cause trouble.
The long-term worker said he had never come into contact with animals..."
In late autumn, the breeze blows and the fallen leaves are rustling.
It's just a wooden house, and the yard is not big, you can walk around it in just a few steps.
Various tools were piled up, making it look very messy. There was a small well in the corner, and a wooden barrel with a rope lying next to it. It looked like it should be a live well.
Ling Xiyue glanced out of the corner of her eyes as she thought about it, and suddenly she saw the mouth of the well, her eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly walked over.
Yingyi, who was standing at the mouth of the well, quickly moved out of the way. Is there anything wrong?
"Bring up a bucket of water." Ling Xiyue waved her hand.
"Yes!" He Fei immediately stepped forward.
Just as he was about to make a move, he was stunned for a moment by Ying who squeezed him away. He stepped aside with a "rather unhappy" look on his face, vaguely like he was jealous, but he was already used to it. After all, he could do anything beside Ling Xiyue.
Gotta 'grab'.
"Be careful." Ling Xiyue warned.
"Don't worry, ma'am, how can we, the rich and powerful, be treated like this?" He Fei didn't understand what Ling Xiyue meant, rolled up his sleeves, fetched a large bucket of water in a few strokes, and brought it to Ling Xiyue.
The bucket sloshed and spilled a lot.
But the water quality is very good, clear and without any dust.
He Fei put the bucket on the ground, stared into Chicheng's eyes, and asked seriously, "Mother, are you thirsty? Do you want me to go in and find you a bowl? This water looks very refreshing."
Ling Xiyue didn't want to laugh, but she really couldn't bear to look at that naturally stupid face.
She really didn't understand that Bei Chenyan was a cold master, but his generals were all living treasures.
"It's okay, just leave it here and don't move." Ling Xiyue was helpless.
"oh……"
He Fei stepped back.
Ling Xiyue looked at it, but still didn't see any problem, "Am I overthinking it?"
Suddenly, her eyes tightened and she stared at the calm water without blinking. She raised her hand and said, "Find me a stick."
He Fei was stunned for a moment, wondering why Ling Xiyue wanted a stick instead of a bowl, but he moved very quickly. He saw the owner of the courtyard working on the canal at a glance, and handed Ling Xi the wooden stick used to carry the load.
In front of the moon.
Ling Xiyue's face...
"General He, are you going to ask me to carry a load of water back to drink?" This time, she couldn't hold it back and took it and weighed it in her hands.
At such a critical moment, she forced herself to laugh.
He Fei said "Ah" and scratched his head in embarrassment, "No..."
Ling Xiyue said "Hey", walked to the firewood pile nearby, pulled out a thin stick, pulled it twice, walked back to the well, squatted down, and kept an eye on anything that seemed to be in the water, and slowly pulled it
Pick it up.
Something like a black thread, a long one...
Ling Xiyue pursed her red lips lightly.
"Hair?" He Fei blinked, but when he thought about it, it was normal.
He said, "This is a living well. If someone draws water frequently, it is inevitable that their hair will fall into the well water."
"Bring up another bucket of water." Ling Xiyue narrowed her cold eyes, and this time she gave clear instructions, "Put on a glove, and be careful not to get this water into the water."
After saying this, He Fei seemed to understand something, and his expression became serious. After quickly putting on a hand mask, he picked up another bucket of water and put it in front of Ling Xiyue, "Mother, is there something wrong with this water?
"
This military commander finally came to his senses.
Ling Xiyue didn't say anything. She took a stick and stirred it in the bucket. When she picked it up, she saw that there was a twist of hair hanging on the stick!
There were about a dozen strands, mixed together in a messy manner. I don’t know why, but at this time, the water-stained hair was still dripping with water, just like an object on a water ghost. Looking at it made people feel an inexplicable chill down their spines.
"It's normal for there to be one hair in this well, but there are so many, do you think it fell by accident?" Ling Xiyue picked up the hair and faced He Fei, with a cold light shining in her cold eyes.
This thing is most likely the plague, the source of the infectious disease!
He Fei was not stupid. Ling Xiyue had already said this. He quickly reacted and his expression suddenly changed, "Who do you mean, your Majesty? Someone deliberately threw the dyed patient's hair into this well."
?"
A chill ran through his body, "Who on earth is this, so black-hearted!"
Thinking back to the fact that he had just asked his wife if she wanted to drink the water, he was even more frightened and wished he could slap himself in the face immediately, just to look at his wooden head.
Ling Xiyue stared at the black hair stirred on the stick, her thoughts racing.
human hair…
In other words, before the outbreak of the epidemic, some people had already contracted the infectious disease, but it had not spread. The troublemaker had the hair of the infected person and deliberately threw it into the well.xdw8
"Have someone fish out everything in the well." Ling Xiyue handed the stick to Ying Yi, and Shen Ran ordered, "Wrap this up and take it back to the medicine furnace of the Sheriff's Mansion, and put the rest on the spot.
Burn!"
"Yes" Yingyi took it carefully.
Ling Xiyue turned around and walked out, shouting loudly, "Seal this well, including the wells within a radius of five miles, immediately. Without my order, no one is allowed to drink, let alone get even half a step closer!"
The water sources around here are very likely to be contaminated, so as a precaution, they are temporarily blocked.
"Yes" A large group of people left, and they had to be ordered to do it immediately.
Ling Xiyue walked out of the courtyard quickly and got on her horse.
She turned the reins and was about to start, when the horse under her seat raised its head and neighed, as if it was frightened, and its front hooves suddenly left the ground. This incident almost knocked Ling Xiyue off the horse's back.
"The Queen!"
The generals exclaimed, but no one could see clearly what was going on.
Fortunately, Ling Xiyue was very adaptable. She pedaled hard, tightened the reins, and quickly took control!
The iron hoof fell to the ground with a "clack", and a strong wind blew up, blowing up a piece of snow-white clothes, accompanied by dots of maple leaves flying.
Ling Xiyue frowned and looked over, her face slightly suffocated.
The front end of her horse hoof is a man...
Behind the man was a boy, standing politely.
The soldiers behind him were stunned for a moment when they saw this.
The man stood there calmly, dressed in white clothes that were as smooth as snow.
Narrow and indifferent eyes, cherry blossom lips... That face as cold as snow is as beautiful as a mountain lotus. Although it is silent and uncontested, once it appears, it can make everyone around it become a foil.
Ling Xiyue was sitting on the horse. This was the second time that she was slightly stunned by the face of a man.
The first time, of course, was Beichenyan.
Bei Chenyan's beauty is like fresh maple leaves, like burning fire. It is so beautiful that people can be addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves. It is extremely terrifying and aggressive, making people intimidated. However, the man in front of him has such a transcendent beauty.
When he was born, he seemed like a banished immortal.
No one dares to have the slightest sense of blasphemy!
At first glance, this man looks a bit similar to Bei Chenyan's cold body, but upon closer inspection, he is completely different.
Bei Chenyan was decisive and cold in killing. In a fit of rage, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
This man was indifferent to the world, as if he had no interest in anything.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Ling Xiyue was stunned when she saw it. It was normal.
I can only say that luckily Bei Chenyan is not here!
"If anyone is in the way, get out of the way quickly." He Fei drove his horse to Ling Xiyue's side, his eyebrows raised horizontally.
What is this? He was standing here silently like a ghost. He almost caused the Queen to fall from her horse. Fortunately, she was fine.
However, appreciation is appreciation, Ling Xiyue still did not forget about business. After collecting her thoughts, she lowered her eyes and looked down, half-smiling but not smiling, "My friend, you must not have happened to be blocking this road."
Nalan Xueyi raised his eyes, and his voice was as indifferent as his, without any traces, and without any corners. He just said straightforwardly, "Leave what you have in your hands."
