Fireworks of red, yellow, white, blue, and various colors exploded gently in the night sky.
Fragmented colored light spots slowly fell down, then dissipated and faded halfway.
On the roof of a small restaurant in Zhonghuan Town, Xuanjing City.
Wei He and Wei Ying Zhenqi were sitting together at a small wine table, and no one recognized him.
Like other guests around them, they all came here at this time to watch the festive fireworks at Xuanjing City tonight at a close distance.
"So beautiful..." Wei Ying raised her head and admired. She was obviously much prettier than before, she became better at grooming herself, and she lost a lot of her previous rustic atmosphere.
Wearing a goose yellow dress, she highlights her beautiful figure.
Sitting next to her is Zhenqi, who is wearing a light blue dress. Both of them have the same style, so they are obviously custom-made of the same style but in different colors.
Although Zhenqi's figure is not as good as Wei Ying's, her temperament and appearance are better. Sitting there, except when she looks at Wei Ying, whose eyes are gentle, the rest of the time she is cold and indifferent.
"In the blink of an eye, we have been in Taizhou for several years." Wei He looked at Wei Ying.
"Yes. So, Xiaohe, when did you plan to get married when you promised me last time? You have rejected me many times." Wei Ying said dissatisfied.
Her biggest wish now is for Wei He to get married and have children as soon as possible, and then spread the branches and leaves of the Wei family.
It's a pity that Wei He doesn't seem to have any thoughts in this regard.
"Isn't there no suitable candidate?" Wei He paused and shook his head.
Although Wan Qingqing's figure flashed in his heart, he now understood that he had no love for this former senior sister, only respect.
"It happens to be the Huayuan Festival now, and many boudoir girls are free to go shopping and play. Isn't this just the right time for you to take a closer look to see if there is anything suitable. If so, we can also come to you to propose marriage as soon as possible." Wei Ying suggested.
.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Wei He was helpless. He had a lot of things to do right now, including researching the Silk Power, collecting the Heavenly Seal Nine Cuts True Skill, perfecting the Poison Technique and Zhengfa Jue, and selecting suitable exercises to strengthen the Rain-Repelling Power.
There is no time to do these chores. It is rare to find time to watch fireworks with them.
"This is a festival that only happens once a year. On weekdays, those young ladies are not like us people in the world. They stay at home and learn the rules, embroidery, calligraphy and painting, etc. If you miss it, you will have to rely on the portraits given by the matchmaker in the future.
Look at people, you have thought about it." Zhenqi interrupted abruptly from the side.
"Zhen Qi is right. Today's opportunity is rare. You have to find ten or eight targets for me. Now that you are a grown-up, what's the point of not getting married?" Wei Ying put her hands on her hips and showed off her sister's momentum.
Dissatisfied.
"You can take a look around now. This Baisheng Restaurant is not expensive, but it is not affordable for ordinary people, so those who can come here to watch the fireworks are not bad at all." Wei Ying whispered seriously.
She came closer and her voice was lower. "Look at the girl who is wearing a lotus skirt and a floral embroidered top sitting a table behind me."
Wei He took a look and saw that there were five people at the table, three men and two women. All four of them seemed to be elders. Only the girl was sitting with her head lowered timidly, holding a handful in her hand.
A small pink ball fan covered half of his face, as if he had drunk some wine and was a little tipsy.
The girl has good looks, Xiaojiabiyu type, her skin is dazzlingly white, her figure is quite regular, neither fat nor thin.
"How is it?" Wei Ying looked forward to it and watched her brother's reaction.
"Not bad." Wei He nodded casually.
"Then decide on one." Wei Ying quickly took out a small notebook and recorded it with charcoal.
Then he started looking for new targets and asked Wei He.
Unmarried women have long hair hanging down, decorated with hairbands, bells and other light accessories.
Married women will wear their long hair tied up with hairpins, so they can tell at a glance whether they are married or unmarried.
Wei Ying was on the side diligently helping to select candidates, while Zhenqi had a smile in her eyes, quietly drinking a small drink, watching the helpless Wei He deal with her sister.
No one could have imagined that Wei He, the now famous leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, would show such a helpless expression at this time.
If this spreads out, I'm afraid a large number of people will not believe it.
It’s just that Wei He himself knows that although the Wanqing Sect has gained a positive reputation in Xuanjing City because of Guiyan Pagoda, as long as the Chi Jing Army is still there, the Tianyin Sect will not be able to truly exist.
Activities in broad daylight.
The Chijing Army and the Tianyin Sect have been in dire straits since the last battle.
Although Wei He is wanted, this is just a secret. If his identity is made public, no matter how hard the Chi Jing Army avoids it, they will definitely send out troops to arrest him personally.
After screening on the rooftop, Wei Yingzai carefully wrote down five alternatives, and after going back, she began to inquire about the situation and prepare for her brother's marriage.
Although she didn't know much about Wei He's current situation, she also knew from Zhenqi that although the Tianyin Sect collapsed, her younger brother Wei He seemed to be doing better.
He is already considered the number one figure in Xuanjing City.
Therefore, ordinary people are still qualified to choose.
The fireworks gradually became less and less until they were all set off.
The three of them paid the bill and went downstairs.
Suddenly, a table of guests on the second floor were talking about something, which made Wei He stop in his tracks.
"More than three hundred households... so many people died in just five days! It's simply too tragic."
"When I went to check on the household, no one answered the door. I went there three times, but no one opened the door. I thought I was trying to evade taxes. But when I found someone to break the door and go in, the body stank!"
"Are you talking about Wanfu County and Jin'an County?" someone asked.
"Exactly, I heard that the plague was caused by the failure to bury the corpses in the previous battles. It is said that this plague can't even be cured by the teachings of Xiangtori, and everyone will die at once! Fortunately, we don't have this in Xuanjing City."
"I said that a while ago, all the government offices in the city were actively recruiting people who were willing to go out on business, and the remuneration was mentioned again and again. At that time, I was tempted to make some extra money. Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I didn't go!
"The other person was extremely happy.
"I'm also lucky. I didn't find out I was infected when I came back, and I never dared to go there again. I don't know when this plague will be over..."
Several people discussed it carefully. After Wei He heard it, he found no place names he was familiar with and felt a little relieved.
It's finally stable now, but don't let anything happen again.
The Tianyin Sect is still far from being completely stable, but the Lishan Sect and the Chijing Army are watching from the sidelines.
There is also the Luan Shen Sect. I don’t know when they will send experts over. Even if the Wang Family and Jiande Temple are in front, Tianyin Sect must be prepared to rely on itself.
Don't place your hopes on others and be prepared for any emergencies. This has always been the standard that Wei He strives to achieve.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ying asked with some confusion when she saw Wei He stopped and paused.
"It's okay." Wei He replied, smiling without explaining.
The three of them went downstairs and got on the carriage returning.
On the driveway, you can see oxcarts transporting goods from time to time, driving towards the outside of the city.
There was a faint medicinal fragrance coming from the oxcart.
When we were about to reach the city gate, one of the bullock cart drivers was showing his permission to the soldiers guarding the city.
"This is sent to treat the plague. The situation is urgent!"
"Let it go!" The soldier looked solemn, glanced at it, and quickly let him go.
Wei He watched as the carriage slowly passed by. For some reason, he always had the same feeling as when he was in Feiye City before.

Qingqi County.
Stalls were set up on the streets everywhere, and clerks from Tiqing Road in the city were distributing medicinal soup to people lining up behind the stalls one by one.
The medicinal soup is not completely free, and you still need to pay for it, but even so, there are so many people queuing up that even when you get to the back of the queue, you can even scoop out a large pot full of medicinal soup.
In the end, there was only a small bowl left, enough for one person.
The clerk who distributed the medicine looked at the three people in front of him.
This is a family of three, father, mother, and a little boy with braided hair who is only five or six years old.
All three of them were coughing, looked gloomy, and were listless.
"There is still one last batch of medicine. The next batch of medicine will have to wait two days to arrive. This..." The clerk looked at the family in front of him in embarrassment.
All three people are sick. Now we only need one portion of this medicinal soup. Who should drink it?
Although this medicinal soup does not cure the plague, it can alleviate the symptoms and make the body feel much better.
The three of them looked at the bowl of medicinal soup in front of them. The father picked it up, suppressed his longing eyes, and looked at it.
"Give it to Dong'er."
"Well, just give it to Dong'er." The mother on the side covered her mouth and coughed a few times, her eyes getting darker and darker, but she still took the medicinal soup, squatted down, squeezed out a smile, and put it to the child's mouth.
"Come on, Dong'er, drink it carefully."
The boy didn't know why, but he still drank the small bowl of medicinal soup carefully.
well...
Not far away, Jiu Ying sighed, slowly retracted his gaze, continued to move forward, and soon came to a courtyard.
Boom, boom, boom.
He reached out and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a short while, the wooden door slowly opened with a creak.
Sun Li's old face appeared behind the door.
"Uncle Jiu...are you here?" Sun Li looked at Jiu Ying and invited him in sideways.
"Come in quickly."
Jiuying nodded and walked in a few steps.
"How is old Sun?"
There was no response from behind.
Jiuying was stunned and turned around.
Seeing Mrs. Sun Li standing there, her body was trembling a little.
"What are you??"
Mrs. Sun Li held her hand on the door frame and was silent for a moment.
"Old Sun, I went up last night."
She sighed.
"It was also his fate. I kept asking him to hold on, and he must hold on. Unfortunately, when the time came, there was nothing he could do to stop him."
"Didn't he take the medicine I prescribed?" Jiuying's voice was a little tight.
"The medicine is effective and he feels much better. Maybe his health is too bad." Sun Li comforted him with a smile, but his eyes gradually became watery.
"It's Lao Sun's fate. I don't blame you. Uncle Jiu, you did your best. We know."
"When he was young, he suffered too many hidden injuries, and when he got old he didn't have much money for treatment. This was his fate." Sun Li lowered his head and coughed a few times, and his expression became calm.
Jiuying pursed his lips, but couldn't make any sound.
He followed Mrs. Sun Li and walked into the hall, where he saw Lao Sun lying in the coffin.
Even though he was used to seeing life and death, he didn't know why at this time, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Maybe I can't hold it any longer." Behind her, Ms. Sun Li squatted down and started burning paper money in an iron basin.
"Uncle Jiu, your medical skills are extremely high. Even in the entire Qingqi County, there is no pharmacist who is more powerful than you.
If I go too, for the sake of my grandson, can you please keep my two grandchildren?"
Jiuying turned around, looked at Sun Li, was silent for a moment, and nodded heavily.
"must."
"Thank you! Thank you." Mrs. Sun Li showed a relieved smile.
