The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!

Chapter 58: Desolate Village, Paying Money to Treat Them

Zhan Jingchen's expression relaxed for a while, but then, no one knew what he was thinking about, and his expression turned ugly again.

Is it necessary to say thank you to a husband and wife? Doesn't this seem very awkward? She is being polite to me! How is that different from being polite to a stranger? Can you put yourself in my shoes?!

"Well, take your time eating." After saying that, he walked out.

Tang Xiluo: "..." Isn't this flipping book weird? His face changes faster than flipping a book, it's inexplicable.

They reached the small village before dark.

The entrance to the village was tiring, with wasteland and dry yellow soil everywhere. The wind brought yellow sand and dust.

The people were old, young, disabled, sick, thin and with sallow complexions, looking lifeless.

Everyone: “…” Even the desert wouldn’t be so exaggerated, right?

Baili Yu grew up in luxury, how could he have seen such a scene? There was such a backward place in their country! His face suddenly became serious.

Suddenly, someone in the village shouted in panic, "There are outsiders coming!"

Someone looked over here, then turned and ran: "Everyone hide!"

"Everyone go home!"

"Everyone, run!"

"..."

For a moment, yellow dust and sand were flying all over the sky. A few minutes later, the street was deserted and there was no one in sight.

Baili Yu: "Do we look like a scourge?"

Shen Jingbei raised his eyes and glanced at Zhan Jingchen, and said in a faint tone: "Some people do look alike."

Zhan Jingchen: "...Shut up!"

Lei Er frowned: "Master, what should we do now?"

Tang Xiluo lowered the carriage curtains, and she had a clear view of the scene that had just happened.

So he walked out and said, "I suggest you don't stay at the hotel." In case you accidentally get infected...

Shen Jingbei agreed: "It would be better for us to camp outside the village for the night."

Lei Er raised his hand and ordered: "Everyone take turns to rest where you are."

Baili Yu looked a little worried: "What should we do with these people?"

Zhan Jingchen looked at Shen Jingbei: "Can you tell what the disease is?"

Shen Jingbei was speechless: "Although I am a highly skilled doctor, I have not yet reached the level where I can tell what disease a patient has just by looking at him!"

Then he turned to look at Tang Xiluo who was at the door of the carriage: "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask your wife. Can't she see it?" Didn't she say that she could see it last time in the study in the palace?

Tang Xiluo was speechless: "Do you think I have clairvoyance? How can I see from such a distance!"

We can't take out the telescope now! Besides, everyone is hiding in the house, so even if a sniper comes, it won't be easy to see!

Zhan Jingchen held his forehead with his hand, feeling that no one was reliable.

Lei San bowed and said, "Master, I will go and get someone to question him."

Lei Er looked up at the sky in silence: "Are you a bandit? People are already scared, and you still want to arrest them?"

Tang Xiluo narrowed his eyes: "Stop making noise, someone is coming."

An old man, walking unsteadily with a cane, came forward.

Under the door plaque, the old man was trembling.

"Who is coming?"

Tang Xiluo jumped off the carriage first and saluted: "Hello, old man. We are merchants passing by here. May I ask if we can stay in the village for one night?"

Although they had no real intention of moving in, they could use this as an opportunity to introduce a topic and find out the real situation.

Sure enough, the old man waved his hand quickly and said, "It's unavailable. You should find another place to live."

Zhan Jingchen understood what Tang Xiluo meant, so he cooperated with her.

He said, "Old man, the price is negotiable. It's getting late, and we have a lot of people. Can you make it easier for us?"

The old man shook his head firmly: "I am the village chief here. I refuse your request. You should leave quickly."

Tang Xiluo pretended to be curious and asked casually: "Old man, are you sick? I see you don't look well."

The old man's face froze, he sighed and nodded: "This disease cannot be cured, and it is also contagious, girls, you should leave quickly."

Zhan Jingchen said: "It just so happens that my friend is a doctor."

When the old man heard this, he was excited: "Really?! This..."

Shen Jingbei turned over and dismounted: "Would it be convenient for me to take your pulse?"

The old man hesitated: "Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

Shen Jingbei smiled and said, "As a doctor, I am not the kind of person who is afraid of death."

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Three months ago, our village was not like this. It was just that a few strangers came to live in the village. Within two days after they left, someone was infected with a strange disease. Then the disease spread from one to two, and from two to ten. It was out of control. The villagers who were not infected fled in fear, leaving us, the old, weak, and disabled..."

Baili Yu was curious: "Then why don't you go find a doctor?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Our village is far from the city to begin with. In addition, we are old, weak, sick and disabled and have been infected with strange diseases, so it is even more difficult to walk to the city. Those who have gone there have never returned, and I am afraid they are already halfway there... Besides, we don't have much money to see a doctor."

Baili Yu was filled with mixed emotions about the sufferings of the world. He had lived for more than ten years in a daze, as if he were in a dream. It turned out that there were so many suffering people out there.

The old village chief wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Don't be surprised. We are hiding because we are afraid of infecting you with strange diseases, and we are also afraid that you will have bad intentions like those people last time."

They hide to protect themselves from bad guys and avoid infecting good people.

Tang Xiluo pursed his lips, then walked into the carriage: "Everyone wait a moment."

Everyone wondered, what was she going to do?

After Tang Xiluo walked into the carriage, he quickly entered the space and took out an isolation handkerchief.

Jump out of the carriage again.

She motioned for me to stretch out my wrist, and then put the handkerchief on it.

Shen Jingbei was stunned for a moment and then took his pulse through his handkerchief. In fact, he had been taking all kinds of medicine since he was a child, so he was immune to all poisons. So far, he had not encountered anything that could poison him.

Then his brows furrowed.

Baili Yu was anxious, thinking that the doctor's frown was definitely not a good thing.

"How's it going? Did anything come out?"

Shen Jingbei took his hand back: "It's An Guo's poison."

Zhan Jingchen's pupils shrank, and his brows were filled with worry: "It seems that the An Guo thieves have infiltrated our country!"

Where did the mistake happen at the border? He got in three months ago! We must write a letter to the emperor and investigate it strictly, and the border must also be strictly controlled.

The old man was stunned, his expression dazed: "Those people were all in plain clothes, four men and two women, all around 20 years old."

He looked at Shen Jingbei nervously: "Doctor, can this poison be cured?" After saying that, he became depressed again.

"But our village is having trouble getting enough food and clothing now, so where can we get the money to buy medicine and see a doctor... Forget it, forget it, I won't trouble you anymore, just leave now."

After the old man finished speaking, he hobbled over, leaning on his cane, and turned to walk towards the village.

Tang Xiluo looked at the large and small gaps in the houses. Everyone was peeking over here nervously and fearfully.

She didn't know why, but she felt sad.

So he blurted out: "I will pay for your medical treatment!"
