Fast time travel: Veteran Green Tea is showing off his acting skills again

Chapter 42 The Loyal Dog Emperor 14
"Is the rain outside a little lighter?" Chu An regained his composure, looked at the boy kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Go back to the prince, it's getting bigger and bigger."

He was holding the unfinished chess piece in his hand, and his friends urged him to do it, but they saw him stand up abruptly and walk towards the door, shouting as he walked: "Prepare the chariot and horses, this king is going to Nanling Village."

When Xia Ling reached Nanling Village, his clothes were already soaked.

Trembling, she found the No. [-] house in the village. Seeing that the doors and windows of Li's house were tightly closed, she propped up half of the wall with one hand and jumped into the wall.

When she landed, her foot fell into a puddle, splashing mud all over her body.

Xia Ling looked down at the dirty skirt, feeling really embarrassed.

She stepped on the potholed mud to the door, raised her hand and slammed the door.

Hearing that there was no answer in the room, he shouted loudly towards the door: "Open the door!"

As soon as he heard a woman's voice outside the door, Lao Li, who was hiding at the door with his children, replied towards the crack of the door: "There is no fever in our house! You should go!"

Under the umbrella, Xia Ling took off his mask and shouted to the door: "I'm here to ask for candied fruit! Do you have any extra candied fruit at home? I want as much as I have, and I'll buy it at a high price!"

After the voice fell for a long time, the window was pushed open from the inside.

The black and fat old Li poked his head out. Seeing that it was really a girl, he immediately opened the door, pulled Xia Ling in with one hand, and quickly closed the door.

Old Li's house is not big, and he can see the whole thing at a glance.

There was a seven or eight-year-old boy lying on the bed. His face was bloodless, and he kept coughing with his eyes closed. Xia Ling frowned.

Standing on the side was a little girl who was about the same age as a boy and wore a shofar braid. She was looking at the stranger in front of her with round eyes, curious and amused.

Seeing this, Xia Ling immediately took out the mask in his hand and put it on the little girl's face.

Old man Li was so frightened that he pulled the little girl to his side, held the girl's hand tightly, and stepped back step by step, "What are you doing?! You really belonged to those people! Take my grandson away?!"

"I'm indeed here to ask for candied fruit." Xia Ling looked at the nervous old man Li, then glanced at the boy lying on the bed wrinkling his face uncomfortably, then raised his hand and covered half of his face with his sleeve, " This child is already infected, and taking him away is to cure his illness, why are you so resistant?"

"Nonsense!" The creases on the old man's angry face trembled, "You think I'm old and you're fooling me! Everyone in the village has said that the plague is now passed from person to person. If you find someone who has the plague, take it away and go straight away." Kill it, so that the plague will be eradicated!"

What kind of conspiracy theory is this?

Xia Ling frowned, and kindly persuaded him: "Old man Li, do you know how many people in this city are sick but have no cure? If you kill all the people who are infected with the plague, how many people will be left in this Spring Lake?" What? Taking people away is to treat their illnesses. After they are cured, they will naturally be able to come back. If you leave your grandson at home, not only will he die, but you and your little granddaughter will also be unable to escape. of!"

Old man Li's mood not only did not stabilize, but became more radical, "I don't believe you! You are talking nonsense! Those who wear white masks are not good people! The new emperor is violent. When he invaded Jiangyang, blood flowed Everywhere. How can a person like him have such a good heart?!"

It turned out to be the people of the previous dynasty.

Hearing his words, Xia Ling felt more confident, "Although she is the emperor from Jin Kingdom, the queen is the princess of Jiangyang. She has no reason to watch the people lose their lives. Now that the plague has found the medicine, if you If you refuse to send the little grandson away, then I will go back and ask someone to deliver medicine to you. Then you will know whether this move is to save you or to harm you."

Hearing Xia Ling's words, old man Li's expression softened a little.

Suddenly there was a neighing sound outside the door, which made old man Li tremble with fright. He pulled his little granddaughter to the bed, guarded the grandson behind him tightly, and shouted at Xia Ling: "You lied to me!"

"I..." Xia Ling was confused, and looked back at the door that was pushed open. In the heavy rain, Chu Liang came slowly under the umbrella with a smile.

She couldn't help saying: "My lord?"

"Go and get the mask for your empress." Chu Liang cast a sideways glance at the attendants behind him, stepped onto the threshold and entered the house, and saluted Xia Ling, "It's raining so heavily, and your empress is only a weak woman, Xiao Wang is really afraid that your empress will encounter danger on the way , and came to pick up the empress."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Old Man Li couldn't help but exclaimed: "Empress? Are you the empress of the palace?"

"Gui..." Chu An was about to speak when Xia Ling held his hand.

She stepped forward and smiled at old man Li, "I'm not a concubine, but Princess Jiangyang who lives in the palace. As long as I stay in the palace, I will protect you all the day. Don't believe those hearsay, this matter is What I made is just to save as many innocent people as possible. If you don’t want to send the child away, old man, then I will ask someone to bring you medicine every day.”

The old man Li looked at Xia Ling with tears in his eyes, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and by the way, he pulled his little granddaughter to kneel down together, and bowed to Xia Ling again and again, "Thank you, the princess, please help me Grandson! His parents are far away now, leaving only the two young children at home, the old man is willing to sacrifice his life for another life, and only asks for the safety of his grandson."

"Get up quickly. As I said, the child will not be taken away, and medicine will be delivered every day. Don't worry, if we can save him, we will do our best to save him. But you have to listen to me, and you will do whatever I tell you to do." Just do it."

Xia Ling patiently told old man Li a lot, and old man Li also nodded and wrote down one by one.

Then he rummaged through the box and took out a small linen bag and handed it to Xia Ling, and said embarrassingly: "The rest are all sold out, this is for the two children, if the princess doesn't mind it, then take them all away."

"Then thank you, old man." Xia Ling took the bag, turned and walked to the door, but heard old man Li shouting behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Old Man Li taking a step forward, hesitant to speak, before he spoke for a long time, "Most people in the village are infected with the disease, but they are afraid of being arrested, so they close their doors and pretend that there is no one in the village. If the princess can heal them all, everyone will be grateful to Princess Dade for her kindness."

Xia Ling and Chu An exchanged glances, and before Xia Ling could speak, Chu An took a step forward, "Tomorrow the king will bring people to Nanling Village, please ask the old man to persuade the villagers tonight. Medicinal materials are rare items. If they are willing, the king will leave some medicinal materials and ask people to fry them every day and send them from door to door. If they are not willing, then of course they will not force them. People who want to live will never A few, they don’t want to, there are people outside who are fighting for their lives.”
