Wu Yu

Xie Lingyu frowned and stopped his dragging movement, raised his bony hand in the air, stepped forward to help the guard up, and said in a deep voice: "Of course we will do our best."

The sky was just getting brighter now, and the leading official was a thin man with slightly sunken cheeks, a bit mean-spirited.

Seeing this, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, bowed politely, and reported his family name, "Xiaguan Qing, go back to the county magistrate, Liu Daoqing, the young masters are exhausted, it's still early, why don't you rest for a few hours?"

Xie Lingyu looked back at the few people, and seeing that they didn't show any signs of fatigue, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, the situation is serious now, so I ask the county magistrate to introduce the local doctor. Let's understand the situation first."

County magistrate Liu responded, ordered in a low voice to prepare the wing room, and sent the guard just now to find the doctor.

Xie Lingyu added, "It's time to find someone you can trust."

The guard understood and bowed to leave.

Under the leadership of County Magistrate Liu, several people came to a mansion. It looked quite new, with the word Liu Mansion written on the plaque. Xie Lingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Yi.

Meng Yi looked around, and asked casually: "I didn't expect County Magistrate Liu to have a mansion in this small town?"

County Magistrate Liu knew what he was asking, and gave a wry smile: "Nanling Water Town, I went out for a boat trip. My daughter was weak and sick since she was a child. I asked a fortune teller to see it. He said that it is not suitable to see the water. After I was dismissed, I came to a small town slightly away. Try to be safe, who knows... hey!"

Xie Lingyu frowned at the right time, showing regret, and comforted: "The world is unpredictable, and the county magistrate must look forward to everything."

County magistrate Liu showed a smile on his skinny face, but his face was not very good, and he looked really not so kind, he said: "Then I will thank you for your kind words."

Liu's mansion is not big, it can't compare with the mansions in other parts of the capital, but it also has a certain flavor. The few people walked in harmony along the way, as if there were only three of them walking together.

The person next to him is usually quite unpredictable. He doesn't talk much, but he also has a lot. If he doesn't want to reveal something, he just smiles and keeps silent. If he wants to tell you, he will beat around the bush. Let you guess.

While dealing with County Magistrate Liu, Xie Lingyu glanced sideways secretly, and happened to meet a pair of clear phoenix eyes, and Qingqiu Jue was looking at him with a half-smile.

Xie Lingyu turned his eyes away without changing his face, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind. He felt that this person seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it hard to see clearly, like a phantom in the rippling blue waves. Silhouette, even if they are sleeping together, Xie Lingyu feels that he is far away in the sky.

From the beginning, he didn't see through.

Several people have different thoughts, but they have no time to take care of others.

Not long after, County Magistrate Liu walked through a door and brought them to the front hall where they usually receive guests. The servants lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, making tea and serving snacks for them in an orderly manner.

Xie Lingyu subconsciously took out the folding fan and shook it slowly. There was a shadow by his side. He looked sideways. Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyebrows and looked very obedient. When Xie Lingyu looked over, he bent down in doubt , asked in a low voice: "My lord?"

The voice was deep and soft, Xie Lingyu felt goosebumps all over his body for no reason, he waved his hands and said, "It's nothing."

After a while, he hesitated and stretched out his hand to pull over a chair. Xie Lingyu said casually, "Sit down."

Qingqiu Jue pursed his lips, looked at County Magistrate Liu, he had a tangled face on his rather handsome face, wondering why: "My lord, this is against the rules."

Xie Lingyu rolled his eyes inwardly, but his face cooled down cooperatively, and said displeasedly, "Sit as you please, don't pay attention to these things."

Seeing this, Meng Yi hurriedly smoothed things over, and patted Xie Lingyu disapprovingly: "Yunlou...Yunlou! Look at you, why are you still angry, come...uh, Xiaoqing, you are tired all day, sit down Let's take a rest."

When Sun Qian heard the word "Xiaoqing", he lowered his head and rubbed his nose with his fingers to cover the twitching corners of his mouth.

County Magistrate Liu also hurriedly said, "Yes, little brother, please sit down."

Only then did Qingqiu Jue sit down with his head down shyly, Xie Lingyu turned his face sideways for a moment, he really didn't want to see his pretentious face.

Hurrying footsteps from far to near, Xie Lingyu turned her head when she heard the sound, casually put the white sleeve robe on the armrest, and looked at the guard and the old man beside him.

There were a few strands of white hair growing from the temples of this old man, and his complexion was still ruddy, perhaps he had taken good care of him on weekdays.

When they came to the front hall, Xie Lingyu gave him a look, and Qingqiu Jue consciously moved a chair for the old man. Just as the guard bent down to bow, Xie Lingyu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite, little brother? call?"

This person's complexion is dark, but Zhou Zheng, who was born, even knelt down to complain for the common people, which shows that he is magnanimous.

The guard was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised that an adult from the capital would actually ask him the name of a young guard, but he didn't dare to say more, he just said: "Little man Liu Kui."

Xie Lingyu turned his head and glanced at Sun Qian unobtrusively. Seeing him nodding, he smiled and said to Liu Kui, "We are fledglings, and we will ask Liu Kui to take care of us in the future."

Liu Kui raised his head in disbelief, then hastily lowered his head, and was about to kneel down: "Thank you so much..."

It's just that before he knelt down, a stone hit him on his knee, Liu Kui was slightly stunned, he was also a martial artist, so he raised his head and looked at the stone.

Sun Qian frowned, and said sternly, "The man has gold under his knees, so stop kneeling."

Guard Liu bowed to him with red eyes, Xie Lingyu saw the tears in his eyes, waved his hand helplessly, and said solemnly: "Okay, there is one important item in my salute, which is to be placed in a wooden box, can Guard Liu help me?" Run an errand, so I can put it in the room?"

Liu Kui was naturally willing, and after a salute, he took his leave respectfully, forgetting to look at Magistrate Liu's dark face.

Xie Lingyu could ignore his expression, but he couldn't ignore the chuckle coming from around him. He gave Qingqiu Jue a warning look, and Qingqiu Jue lowered his head innocently.

The wooden box is not a wooden box, it is clearly a large food box, isn't it for something, it has Mr. Xie's favorite things in it, such as lotus flower cakes, dragon beard cakes, mung bean cakes... everything.

Xie Lingyu settled down, looked at the old man and asked gently: "How is the situation in the town now, can the old man tell you in detail?"

The old man stroked his black and white beard, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's not good now, many people died in the town, the people have resentment in their hearts, and the living people are also dead, this plague is really overbearing, old man I have been practicing medicine for more than [-] years, and I have only seen similar ones in ancient books."

Xie Lingyu frowned, his heart sank, "What does the old man mean, that there is still no cure for this plague?"

The old doctor waved his hands, some chaotic eyes contained Qinghui, which could make people feel at ease, he said patiently: "Not entirely, it is not that there is no cure, the old man has been studying ancient books with you doctors these days, and now he is about to bear fruit Well, there are medicines that can be curbed right now, but they always treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The plague is passed on from person to person, and this medicine can't keep up with the disease, so we are helpless..."

"Some impatient ones point at us and scold at the sky, causing riots with resentment. This person can't get angry. If there is depression in his heart... he is burning his life. We can't take care of the future. back."

Xie Lingyu sighed inwardly, but he can't blame the people for being like this. People are restless when they are sick, and if they always see no hope, it is normal to have great resentment.

He personally brewed a cup of tea for the old man, and passed it steadily, "Old man, everyone has worked hard."

This doctor is already in the middle of his life, but now he is suffering in this town full of complaints, which is considered as the most benevolent.

Feeling flattered, the old Lang stood up slightly, took the tea respectfully, and sighed: "My lord is so old..."

Xie Lingyu shook his head, "Now I have to trouble the old man... Then I won't stay any longer, the people in the town are still waiting for your life-saving medicine, please."

The old man nodded, got up and said goodbye: "I will definitely do my best."

Xie Lingyu wanted to send him off, but County Magistrate Liu, who had been silent all this time, put on a smiley face, gently held him down and said, "My lord, go back and rest for a while, it's fine if the officials come here to see you off."

Xie Lingyu understood, so she could only smile at the old man, the county magistrate Liu led the old man out, and there were only four of them and the servants of the Liu family left in the front hall, but they did not dare to take their guard lightly.

Meng Yi yawned, and said at the right time: "You can rest for two hours when you go back, let's go."

Naturally, the other three had no objection, as soon as the foot took a step, Qingqiu Jue was called to a stop, the man was also dressed as a servant, and he said nervously: "Hey, little brother...you come with me. "

Only then did they realize that the place where the servant lived was not with them, Qingqiu Jue smiled, and actually walked over.

No, it would be inconvenient for them to do things like this, and it would be easy to discuss anything with them, Xie Lingyu frowned, pressed Qingqiu Jue and said to the boy: "This is for personal service, just come with me."

The boy was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to say much, he could only respond with a smile, and went to send Qingqiu Jue's luggage to Xie Lingyu's room.

However, Qingqiu Jue acted as if he was still in control the whole time, suppressing all the edge, leaving behind a seemingly harmless soft shell, Xie Lingyu asked himself, if he didn't know about it today, he would really be able to break through Qingqiu Jue's disguise?

Not necessarily, maybe really can't.

Meng Yi and Sun Qian were present, so they didn't have to sleep crowded together like before, and went back to their rooms to rest.At this moment, Xie Lingyu touched the soft and comfortable bed, sat on the head of the bed and confronted Qingqiu Jue, even though this person stayed, but if they couldn't stand it, they would look at each other again.

Xie Lingyu sighed, resigned himself to his fate and rolled his clothes inside, patted the space on his side in a self-defeating manner, and said generously: "Come on, I can still squint for a while now."

Qingqiu Jue wasn't too polite, he took away his "supernatural powers" when he entered the room, seeing that he wasn't easy to bully at all, he yawned casually, and lay down slowly: "Yeah."

Both of them closed their eyes, but their hearts were very clear, there was no sleepiness, just tiredness.

Now...the uncontrollable plague, the people full of resentment, there is really a tough battle to fight, but they charge forward on the battlefield.

But this battle...they can't afford to lose.
