When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhou Mu, who had been standing aside, walked to the old man's side in a few steps. Without saying a word, he resisted the old man. Then he turned to Shen Ruoyan behind him and said: "Girl, hurry up. Take them to treat everyone! I will take care of it here."

Shen Ruoyan didn't expect that he would stand on her side, so she nodded gratefully to Zhou Mu and led a group of doctors towards the back.

With the arrival of the doctor, the situation quickly improved. He gave the necessary acupuncture and administered the necessary medicine. Those whose condition was more serious were asked to be carried to the wing of the temple for careful treatment.

An old doctor with gray hair worked hard for a long time, and finally finished treating all the patients around him. He straightened up and knocked on his stiff back. Shen Ruoyan hurriedly walked over, leaned down and saluted him.

The old doctor knew that Shen Ruoyan was a noble lady in the capital and was one of the planners of this event. How could a commoner like him afford such a great gift? He quickly waved his hand and said: "Miss Shen, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Shen Ruoyan still finished the salute seriously, "I perform this salute for you on behalf of these patients. Doctors are kind-hearted, and it is really a blessing for us Daning people to have a good doctor like you."

He is an old doctor in the city. He has reached the age of retirement early, but he still insists on seeing patients every day.This time I heard that I was treating refugees, so the old doctor and several of his apprentices were the first to sign up, unwilling to receive any remuneration.

Shen Ruoyan really admired such a person. She took the medicine box from the old doctor's hand and carried it on his body for him, while asking, "Do you dare to ask doctor, what do you think is the cause of abdominal pain in these people?"

"The symptoms of these patients are diarrhea and vomiting, and some of them have obvious redness and swelling in their mouths."

How could the old doctor ask Shen Ruoyan, a thin and frail girl, to help him carry the medicine box? While talking about his findings, he wanted to take the medicine box back, but he saw a handsome young man appearing next to Miss Shen. Indifferently, with a sense of alienation, but very naturally, he took the medicine box off the lady of the Shen family and carried it on his back.

The old doctor glanced at Shen Ruoyan and the young man beside her with a smile, and continued: "I just asked a few people who were in better condition. They all said that they suffered from the porridge, but they were too hungry at the time and didn't care. , drank it all.

Some people also saw brown powder at the bottom of the porridge bowl, thinking it was grains in the porridge, so they ate it together. Unexpectedly, their stomachs hurt soon after. "

The old doctor pays attention to looking, hearing and asking questions when seeing a doctor. During treatment, he always likes to chat with the patient and ask about the root cause of the disease.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and she felt even more worried.

At first, when she heard that someone was feeling unwell after drinking porridge, she thought it was because the ingredients used to cook the porridge were broken, causing everyone to vomit and have diarrhea. However, when she arrived at the scene, she was accused of saying that her pot of porridge was the only one with the problem. I had a bad guess in my mind.

And now after hearing the old doctor's words, she was even more sure of what she was thinking - someone deliberately added something to her pot of porridge, which caused so many people to vomit and have diarrhea.

"Then what do you think those brown things might be?" Lu Yan, who had been following Shen Ruoyan, suddenly asked.

Shen Ruoyan turned her head and looked over, and saw a solemn look on the young man's face, obviously having the same guess as her own.

"I think these symptoms should be caused by Croton." The old doctor said with great certainty, "Croton is hot in nature and very poisonous. If used well, it can relieve cold accumulation and clear the body, but if the dose is too much, it will cause Diarrhea and vomiting, red and swollen mouth.”

At this point, the old doctor paused, glanced at the crowd of people sitting on the roadside groaning, still clutching their stomachs, and said worriedly: "Sometimes it even kills people."

Shen Ruoyan nodded, Croton was not a typical poison, but everyone's physique was different, and the effects after taking it were naturally different.

The people here are all refugees and have been hungry for many days. These few small beans may really kill them.

"Thank you, doctor. We will definitely investigate this matter. Please take care of the patients here." Shen Ruoyan had an idea in her mind, which was a blessing to the old doctor.

After bidding farewell to the old doctor, Shen Ruoyan walked towards the temple.

"Ayan." Lu Yan walked up in a few steps and walked side by side with her, "I'll go there with you."

Both of them knew in their hearts that there was no problem with other people's porridge, but only Shen Ruoyan's porridge pot contained croton, and this matter must be directed at her.

Since that person had secretly poisoned him, there must be some back-up preparations later.

What was waiting for Shen Ruoyan in the backyard was not necessarily easier than the angry refugees in front. How could Lu Yan safely let her go back alone and face those jackals, tigers and leopards alone?

"No, you still need to deal with it here." Shen Ruoyan kept walking and refused firmly.

Lu Yan sighed quietly. He tried his best to get closer, but he always felt that Shen Ruoyan was extremely wary of him. Couldn't she let go of her stubbornness and rely on herself without any worries?

"I want to protect you." The young man clenched his fists, with a hint of persistence and a hint of grievance in his tone.

Shen Ruoyan's eyelashes trembled. Although her hatred for Lu Yan was no longer so strong, she didn't want to owe him any more favors.

Shen Ruoyan said unnaturally: "Really, these are our women's affairs. I can solve them myself without anyone else's intervention."

"Ayan, I am not someone else, I am your future husband!"

When Lu Yan said this, both of them fell silent.

For a moment, the boy's Adam's apple moved, and his jade-like cheeks were stained with a layer of crimson. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "Ayan, can't you just try to believe me?"

Shen Ruoyan was a little upset by his inexplicable possessiveness.

trust?

How could she trust someone who had her whole family slaughtered in her previous life?

But now Lu Yan has done nothing, and she has no right to question him.

Shen Ruoyan did not answer directly, but patiently advised: "There are many twists and turns in this matter of the back house, and you, a grown man, are really not suitable to interfere.

Besides, I'm not alone. I have my mother, my sister-in-law, and my godmother. They will all help me, so don't worry. "

After saying that, Shen Ruoyan immediately turned around and walked faster towards the temple.

She didn't see that the young man behind her stood there alone, with emotions in his eyes until Shen Ruoyan completely disappeared.
