That day, when Jin Xiao Ai came back, her expression was a little strange. She coughed lightly a few times, picked up the medicinal plants and prepared to leave. Who knew that when she stood up, she would lose her balance and fall to the ground …
These days, she had helped the emperor to fry medicine and also sent soup to people who were already infected with the Black Death. When she was seen walking around in the crowd, everyone called her "Fairy Lady".
Although Jin Xiao Ai was fully prepared, this was, after all, an infected area.
"Mother, mother …"
When the little girl came in and saw Jin Xiao Ai lying on the ground, her heart leaped into her throat.
"Mother …"
Feng Liancheng followed his little cutie inside and also noticed that Jin Xiao Ai was lying on the ground, "Little cutie, quickly, go get a doctor. "
Feng Liancheng frowned slightly. Even though Jin Xiaoyi insisted on helping the emperor distribute the soup for the Black Death.
And now he was sick.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still hoped that his premonition was wrong.
When the doctors arrived, they all rushed over from the nearby towns. When they heard about the Black Death, no one was willing to come, but the emperor had already given the order that anyone who defied the decree would be executed on the head. For a moment, everyone was panic-stricken.
Those doctors were frightened by the imperial edict and had to come to the Southern County. Those infected with the Black Death were already isolated. The waters of the Long River were temporarily banned.
The first person infected with the Black Death was Shanghe Village on the upper reaches of the river. However, perhaps it was because everyone had left the village after they found out that someone had started to die. When everyone returned to the village, there were actually fewer people infected with the virus than there were in the lower reaches of the river.
The Southern County's parents had also returned to the Southern County. After the commotion broke out, he took his family and fled the Southern County. Originally, the Emperor was not planning to reveal his identity.
These days, the reconstruction of the Southern County had begun. Besides investigating the plague, there was also the cleaning up of the destroyed villages.
Everything gradually became orderly.
Although all the doctors nearby were called to the Southern County, the emperor had ordered the doctors and soldiers to go to the village in groups, since the plague had been discovered a little late. There were not many people left in the Southern Prefecture City.
Feng Liancheng walked in a large circle before finally finding a doctor. Just as the doctor was about to rest, he was pulled over by Feng Liancheng. Although the doctor complained, his brain was more important. At this time, the presence of a patient was a sign of danger, and no one knew if the patient was also infected with the plague.
The doctor checked the pulse of Jin Xiaowei, who had been carried to the bed by Feng Liancheng. Then, he took a look at the expression on her face and tested the temperature of her forehead. With his serious expression, Feng Liancheng became even more worried.
"Doctor, what happened to her?"
The doctor's face froze for a moment before he spoke.
"She's infected with the plague. Quickly isolate her."
These words were like a bolt of thunder from a clear sky, striking right into Feng Liancheng's heart.
Ever since Jin Xiao Ai helped the emperor distribute the medicines to treat the plague, Jin Xiao Ai and the others had already moved to the Southern County.
At the moment, they were living in a house. Seeing how passionate Jin Xiao Ai was helping them, the elderly woman from this family took them in. As for the emperor and his men, they were temporarily staying in the county magistrate court.
"Give a portion of the medicine to this lady. I don't know if she still has any left, but the medicinal ingredients are already in short supply."
Feng Lian City asked the old woman to take care of Jin Xiao Ai first while he went with the doctor to get the medicine. As soon as Feng Liancheng took his first step, the old woman started to chase him away.
Before Feng Liancheng left, he had instructed his little boy to take good care of his mother, so he had to put on gloves and tie a mask.
At this moment, the old woman saw that the person taking care of Jin Xiao Ai was only a well-behaved child, so she naturally mustered up her courage.
"Aiyo, why do I have such a bitter life? This is a plague! If an old woman like me were to catch this disease, how would my family live?" It was originally meant to be taken in with good intentions, how could I have known things would turn out like this. "
If someone who did not know the truth were to see that old woman's sobbing appearance, they would really sympathize.
The old woman thought it would be easy to get rid of a child and a sick woman.
However, being a good girl was not like other children. The old woman started to cry, but he already understood what she was trying to do.
"Grandma, don't cry. My mother is sick, and I can't move her alone. I know that my mother's illness is not a minor one, and we should not have continued to flow. "But, my uncle went out. We can leave when he comes back, okay?"
The little girl blinked her innocent eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears. This old woman had been crying sorrowfully, as if she had suffered a great injustice. But now that she saw this little girl, she didn't cry anymore. Instead, her heart began to ache for her.
She carefully sized up the little girl. This little guy was really pretty, with his round head and his pair of blinking eyes. His skin was tender enough to drip water. Tsk tsk, what a cute baby.
Looking at this little fellow's wronged appearance, the water in her heart was about to drop.
The determination to chase Jin Xiao Ai away slowly faded away.
In the end, chasing them away was a bit too much. What could a little doll and a sickly woman do?
If that lady hadn't been infected by the plague, she wouldn't have been so ruthless as to chase the two of them away.
After being with them for so long, she was a little reluctant.
In the afternoon, the old woman could only leave the room and agree to wait for Feng Liancheng to come back.
Feng Liancheng followed the doctor to get the medicine, but when they arrived at the place where the medicinal ingredients were stored, they found out that there weren't enough medicinal ingredients. Even the closest medicinal ingredients needed to be retrieved would require two to three days.
"Young master, I'm really sorry. The older students did not know that medicinal herbs could be used so quickly. It seems that the number of people infected by the plague is still increasing." "The older student will go report to the emperor now and ask him to speed up the delivery of the medicinal ingredients."
Feng Liancheng did not say anything. The doctor looked at Feng Liancheng's tightly pursed lips and slightly clenched fists and was instantly stunned. He stood where he was and did not dare to say anything.
It was only when Feng Liancheng hurriedly left that he managed to react. Just a moment ago, he had thought that Feng Liancheng would vent his anger on him, but now, it seemed that his guess was wrong.
Fortunately, he had left Feng Liancheng; otherwise, the look on his face just now would have been truly frightening. The doctor felt his heart stop.
The doctor rested for a moment before he went to the emperor.
Feng Liancheng returned to the old woman's home and obediently told Feng Liancheng what had just happened. When Feng Liancheng heard that this old woman wanted to take advantage of his absence to chase Jin Xiaoye and the little girl away, he glared at the old woman. If not for him being more worried about Jin Xiaoyu's health, this old woman would not have been in a good mood right now.
That old woman was quite tactful. When she saw Feng Liancheng's ice-cold gaze, she hid far away and didn't dare to say a single word.
Feng Liancheng glared fiercely at the old woman before making the little girl stand outside and wait. He couldn't wait any longer; he could take Jin Xiao Ai's life in two or three days at any time.
If she wasn't unwilling, he would have already used it. But now, it was no longer up to her. He had to make a prompt decision.
It wasn't wrong, it was to use his Origin Core. This Yuan Dan was a collection of the essence of his thousand years of cultivation. Thus, after an ordinary human consumed it, not only would they obtain a miraculous power, they would also be able to make a mortal invulnerable to diseases and age.
Therefore, this Yuan Dan could also help Jin Xiaoyi regain her health.
However, once the Yuan Dan entered a mortal's body, it would be difficult to take it out. If the mortal left, the Yuan Dan might be worse off than normal, and it might be life-threatening at any time. It was even possible that his entire body would be devoured by the Yuan Dan. There were examples of success, of course, but one in a hundred might not succeed.
And what would happen if Feng Liancheng left the Yuan Dan?
However, he was still a Divine Beast after all, so his body was weak and he still had martial arts. It was just that these martial arts were similar to the martial arts of ordinary people, without Yuan Dan, there would be no inner strength.
Feng Liancheng quietly looked at Jin Xiaoye. At this moment, her eyes were tightly shut and her face had already begun to darken.
Although Jin Xiao Ai was his master, he was still a mortal. He should have completed his mission long ago and allowed his master to possess the power of the Yuan Dan. However, he had always respected Jin Xiao Ai's wishes, because he had never given the Yuan Dan to her.
This time, he couldn't hesitate.
He slowly lowered his head, raising the aura within his body, and a fiery red bead slowly emerged from his mouth.
Feng Liancheng's lips were just above Jin Xiaoye's, and the fiery-red bead slowly moved from his mouth to hers.
When the bead reached Jin Xiao Ai's lips, the red bead slipped into her throat. Feng Liancheng helped Jin Xiao Ai up and used the last bit of true energy left in his body to send the red bead into her body.
At this moment, his forehead was covered in sweat.
It was finally over. When Feng Liancheng stood up, his legs were actually a bit weak.
Luckily, he held her by the bed and carefully laid her down.
As he opened the door, he didn't know when, but a group of people had appeared outside. Among them was the Emperor.
When the emperor heard that Jin Xiao Ai had also been infected with the plague, he didn't have any more medicinal herbs, so he came to take a look.
The emperor was wearing ordinary clothes today. When he stepped into the small room and saw Jin Xiaoyi lying on the bed, he became even more worried.
His handsome eyebrows creased into a ball as he gently caressed Jin Xiaosi's face. When he met her face, he was a little surprised. He thought she would have a fever. However, Jin Xiaoyi's forehead was not hot at all.
Strange, isn't one of the symptoms of a person infected with the plague a fever?
However, Jin Xiaoyi did not.
These few days, it had been extremely difficult for Jin Xiao Ei to follow him around.
To get rid of the plague as quickly as possible, she passed through the people who were infected with it, and he knew how hard it was for her every day. However, because of the post-disaster reconstruction and food distribution, he still cared too little about her.
This little woman was truly exhausted.
He wanted to take good care of her, but he had been negligent in the end.
That night, the emperor ordered for Jin Xiaoyi to be taken to the county magistrate to be quarantined. He also ordered someone to be disinfected at the old woman's home.
