One by one, they ran in front of Yun Qixi and looked at him excitedly.

"Is there really a copper coin?" A gaudy Old Beggar didn't quite believe it, but he did look forward to it.

Yun Qixi smiled faintly, and said: "Calm down. Listen to me, there are copper coins here, two for each of us. If anyone can answer my question, I will give them one or two."

One or two was not much, but to them, it was already a huge sum of money. Their eyes were all shining as they fought to be the first to ask, "What's the problem?" As long as it's something that we know about, we will definitely tell Miss about it. "

Yun Qixi nodded with satisfaction as she looked at every single one of them, "Actually, I want to find a person."

"Who is it?" Everyone asked.

"His name is Yun Qi, a young beggar. She's around this tall, and she often wears a felt hat. Do any of you know him?" Yun Qixi looked at them expectantly after she finished her practice.

However, when everyone heard this, they frowned and shook their heads, "No, I don't."

"Is there no one who knows him?" Yun Qixi asked unwillingly.

Everyone shook their heads again, Yun Qixi was not disappointed.

"Miss, can we start distributing coins now?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Yun Qixi glanced at Qiao Er, and Qiao Er took out her money pouch, and distributed the coins to them.

The originally incredulous beggars finally got the money and smiled.

"If you're willing to do me a favor, I can still pay you more silver." Yun Qixi suddenly said.

"What kind of help? As long as it's something we can do, we'll definitely do it. " Everyone patted their chests, indicating that they were willing.

Since money was so easy to earn, of course they would be happy.

"You guys have a lot of manpower, go to every corner of the capital and help me find him."

As soon as Yun Qixi finished speaking, many people volunteered themselves. People were coming from the east, north, and south of the city.

Yun Qixi was curious, "Why is it that none of you are willing to go to the west side of the city?"

Upon mentioning the west side of the city, the noisy crowd immediately quietened down. With her acute senses, Yun Qixi quickly felt that there must be something going on in the west side of the city.

"If someone is willing to go to the west of the city to help me find someone, I'll give them ten silver."

She placed heavy bets and also saw that many people were clearly moved by this condition, but still no one was willing to stand out.

"Twenty taels." Yun Qixi calmly added the bet, staring at them without blinking.

This time, they were even more tempted. They obviously wanted this silver, but they seemed to have a lot of scruples.

"I'll go." Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

Yun Qixi turned around and saw a man in his early twenties standing behind a tree. Although he was only wearing patched blue clothes, it was still clean. He was not a beggar, but an ordinary commoner.

He was only going to find a person, but from his expression, it seemed as if he was going to his death.

At the same time, everyone became noisy.

"Dong Zi, are you crazy thinking about money?" Someone clamored.

"Yeah, you're giving up your life for twenty silver?"

It seemed that all the beggars knew him, at least they knew his name was Dong Zi.

Dong Zi looked very serious as he said, "If I die, give me the silver to my wife who is sick on the bed."

Yun Qixi became more confused the more she heard about it. They were only looking for people, not going to the battlefield.

"What the hell is going on?" she asked.

The beggars looked at each other. Finally, someone stood up and told them the whole story.

The west side of the city had become a place where everyone avoided due to fear. It was only because a few days ago, the government sent a group of people who had been infected with the plague there.

There was no need to elaborate further, Yun Qixi understood now. In other words, those who had contracted the plague were separated. And to the west of the city was the quarantine.

According to them, it should have been several days since the plague struck, but it was also in the capital. The difference was that she had never heard of it before, and the day before yesterday, there was a banquet in the palace, as if nothing had happened to the plague.

"Who are those who rushed in?" Yun Qixi asked.

One of them sighed, "Anyway, they won't be rich people. Only the lives of poor people like us can be so easily trampled on."

A person next to him turned around and reminded him, "Be careful when you speak. Be careful not to say anything bad."

The person looked at him, then looked at Yun Qixi, and finally said nothing more.

"Miss, are you sure what you said just now is correct?" The man called Dong Zi asked.

Yun Qixi turned around and looked at him seriously, "If you get the plague, what will happen to your wife?"

Dong Zi's eyes dimmed down, there was determination, and also some pain.

"It was my incompetence. I didn't have the money to treat my wife's illness. If I could use my life in exchange for twenty taels of silver, even if I can't cure her illness, I can make her eat something delicious. This is also very good." "She has been following me for her entire life and has suffered a lot for her. If she is still willing to marry me in her next life, I will definitely make it up to her."

Yun Qixi felt very sad and she couldn't help but shake her head, "Why would I have to save this matter for my next life? In the next life, you can just console yourself with words. "

Yun Qixi's words were extremely cruel, causing Dong Zi to suddenly feel pain, he suddenly smashed his head.

"I'm useless. I've let her down. The person who deserves to die is me. I really want to hurt in her place. Every time I see her in such pain, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife."

"Alright, you don't have to do this." Yun Qixi shouted and stopped them. She propped herself up on one leg and walked to the front of the young man, giving him twenty silver.

Dong Zi looked at the silver and gradually calmed down. He said determinedly, "I said, you don't have to give me the silver, give it to my wife."

Yun Qixi pushed the silver into his hands and said, "You take the silver, but you don't have to go to the west side of the city. Your wife needs your care. If something happens to you, what about your wife? "

Dong Zi stared at her in shock, only to see Yun Qixi smiling. "Take the silver and go and get your wife a doctor.

"Miss knows medicine?" Dong Zi was surprised.

Yun Qixi nodded his head, "En, after I finish my business here, I will come to see your wife and tell her to be confident, including you."

With that, she turned around and called for Qiao Er, "Qiao Er, let's go."

Qiao Er was still in shock and unable to regain her senses. Firstly, she was shocked about the plague and secondly, she was surprised that Yun Qixi knew medicine. She was at a loss and asked, "Miss Er, where are we going? Go back to your residence? "

Yun Qixi shook her head, "No, to the west of the city."

"What?" Qiao Er trembled in fear.

Everyone else was shocked when they heard her words.

"Miss, this is not a joke."

"That's right, and I heard that there are soldiers guarding the west side of the city. It might not be easy to get in, and if you go in, it might be even more difficult to get out."

Yun Qixi smiled lightly, "Actually, the plague is not as scary as you think. Furthermore, I am worried that Yun Qi is on the west side of the city, which is why I was unable to find him even after searching the entire city. "

An old beggar sighed, "My lady, look at you. You are also the daughter of a rich family. What do you think? But, what is this about? "

Yun Qixi only laughed, and did not explain any further. Looking at the cane in Old Beggar's hand, she asked, "Old man, can I ask you to buy this wooden cane?" She pointed to her leg. "I need this very much now."

Old Beggar was startled, he looked at the wooden staff in his hand and handed it over, "As long as Miss does not mind."

Yun Qixi was about to tell Qiao Er to take the money, but the Old Beggar said, "No need, I can see that the young miss is kind. Although I'm a beggar, I don't have money in my eyes.

Yun Qixi felt waves of warmth in her heart, and without being polite, she received the walking stick and said, "Thank you, old man."

"Are you really going to the west side of the city?"

Yun Qixi could tell that the Old Beggar still wanted to advise her, so she consoled her with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm the nemesis of the plague. When the plague sees me, it will automatically disperse.

Seeing her determined attitude, Old Beggar did not say anything else and only nodded, "Take care."

Qiao Er helped Yun Qixi up onto the carriage, then Yun Qixi opened the carriage's curtain and warned Dong Zi again.

"Dong Zi, take good care of your wife. If you can't leave her, she can't leave you."

Dong Zi looked at her gratefully as he held the silver in his hands. He felt that it was incredibly heavy and nodded heavily towards her.

When the carriage started to move, Qiao Er asked in disbelief, "Miss Er, are you really going to the west side of the city?"

Yun Qixi closed her eyes, and only made a light "En" sound, and did not say anymore, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Er, "Qiao Er, when we return to the city later, you can go back to your residence first, I'll go myself."

Hearing that, Qiao Er immediately shook her head, "How can I do that? Although this servant is afraid of the plague, I can see that Miss Er is not afraid, so I won't be afraid. This servant just doesn't understand, why does Miss Er have to find that person?"

Yun Qixi sighed, her gaze landed on a certain place, "Now, it's not only about finding Yun Qi, both are your lives, and I can't stand by and watch this tragedy happen."

His hand stroked the wooden staff. The craftsmanship of this wooden staff was not meticulous, but the part that she had held in his hand for a long time had been polished to a very smooth state. Staring at the wooden staff in his hand, Yun Qixi suddenly laughed, because she felt that she looked like Sect Leader Zhu, she even had the ability to spank a dog.

At this moment, the capital city was much like how it was during the war of the Republic of China. While it was located in the same city, one side was filled with the flames of war, while the other side was filled with singing and dancing.

Therefore, she suspected that many people in the capital were like her, unaware of the plague.

From the east side of the city to the west side, the journey from prosperity to death had been filled with silence.

The village entrance was surrounded by wooden fences, guarded by several soldiers.

Seeing the carriage going by, one of the soldiers shouted from afar.

"Hey, whose carriage is that? "Hurry up and leave."
