The coachman was scared as he pulled the rope. He stopped the carriage and didn't dare to move forward anymore.
Yun Qixi opened the curtain to take a look, only to see that a few soldiers had already opened the wooden fence, and were walking towards the carriage.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One of the soldiers knocked on the carriage with his sword sheath and shouted, "Who is in the carriage? Didn't he know that the Eastern Willow Village in the west of the city was a forbidden area? Hurry up and leave, don't cause any more trouble, and be careful not to cause any more trouble. "
"This official, the person in the carriage is …"
"I came specially to the Eastwillow village." Yun Qixi pushed open the carriage door and lightly cut off the coachman's words.
Several of the soldiers looked at her with slight surprise. One of them, a man with a big beard, smacked his chin and laughed sinisterly.
"Miss, do you know where we are?"
Yun Qixi looked at him calmly and also let out a faint smile, "I know, this is the epidemic area."
Big Beard's expression changed, and his smile disappeared. He cautiously stared at her and said, "You dare to come even when you know?"
"I'm here to see my relatives." Yun Qixi replied calmly.
"Looking for relatives?" Big Beard snorted and sneered, "If your relative is really here, then there's no need to look. All you need to do is wait to collect his corpse."
After the soldiers heard what the big bearded man said, they laughed out loud. Yun Qixi squinted her eyes, and the look in her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Will you care about your mother's life because she's sick? Will you feed your child to the wolf because he is ugly? "
A few of them stopped laughing, but Big Beard choked. He looked at her with a dark expression and asked, "Are you courting death?"
Yun Qixi was not the least bit afraid, but she still continued to smile, "Right, I'm just looking to die. Since I know that I'm intentionally seeking death, why wouldn't I be able to accomplish it? "I don't want to waste my time here."
When those words were said, the people looked at her as if they were looking at a monster.
One of the soldiers held his sword and said to Big Beard, "Boss, we are doing this for her own good. Since she doesn't appreciate our kindness and insists on going in, then we will fulfill her wish of going in and coming out. It's her own business, so she might as well just court her own death. What does it have to do with us?"
"This little brother is right." The smile on Yun Qixi's face became brighter and brighter.
Big Beard looked at her gloomily for a while before warning, "I have to say, there's only an entrance to this road. If you go in there, you won't be able to get out."
"That's right." Yun Qixi smiled to the point that her eyes were slightly bent, she did not panic at all.
Big Beard waved his hand and said loudly, "Let her in."
"Wait a moment." Yun Qixi called out, she then used the wooden staff to get off the carriage, and said to Big Beard: "I'll go in there myself."
"No, Miss Er, I will go with you." Qiao Er was so anxious that she wanted to jump down from the carriage.
Yun Qixi held her back, "Qiao Er, you can't. I have more important things for you to do."
As she said that, she went close to the Qiao Er's ear and whispered in her ear.
Hearing this, Qiao Er's expression slowly became grave, and in the end, she nodded her head heavily, "Alright, this servant will remember your words. This servant will definitely not disappoint you."
"Alright, I believe you." Yun Qixi smiled with gratitude.
Just as she was about to walk forward, Qiao Er grabbed her, "Miss Er, you, you take care of yourself."
Yun Qixi turned around and patted her hand consolingly, "Don't worry."
Then, she stepped forward while leaning on the wooden staff. Although the walking was strenuous, his back was very straight. Several soldiers stared at her back in surprise.
When Qiao Er saw her walk into the fence, she felt a little sad. But when she thought about what Yun Qixi had told her, she did not have enough time to be sad, so she immediately asked the carriage driver to turn around and rush back.
The location of the fence was actually still quite a distance away from the Eastern Willow Village. It was probably due to the safety of the isolation grounds, so the area was larger.
Leaning on her wooden staff, Yun Qixi walked for a long distance, but there was still no sign of people. As she was walking, she suddenly heard a commotion.
He looked over and saw a few houses.
As she walked closer, she could see that there were many people gathered around her, and the noise grew clearer and clearer.
"Sigh, it's gone at such a young age. This plague is really killing people."
"There's no need to lament about others. It's the same for all of us. In the end, we will end up like this. The imperial government has left us here to fend for ourselves."
"Look at him, he looks like a beggar. I wonder if he has any relatives. How pitiful, there isn't even someone who can send him off on his final journey."
Yun Qixi's heart suddenly leapt up, and a wave of cold air instantly spread throughout her entire body from the bottom of her feet.
Impossible, definitely impossible! He still had a lot of silver that he hadn't spent yet, and she hadn't even had time to apologize to him.
Leaning on her wooden staff, she rushed into the crowd in a panic.
"Get out of the way. Everyone, get out of the way." she said frantically.
Everyone looked back and saw the excitement on her face. They couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy for her. They all made way for him.
"Yun Qi." At the same time as she shouted, she saw a corpse on a broken straw mat in the empty space.
No, not him. She felt relieved and let out a deep breath.
"Miss, who are you to him?" someone asked sympathetically.
Yun Qixi shook his head, "I don't know him."
When everyone heard this, they felt a wave of regret, "Oh, how pitiful. It seems like no one will be able to send him off."
Yun Qixi turned around and looked at the rest, and said, "Let's all send him off. It can also be considered fate for us to be together in this world."
Everyone nodded their heads in succession. Someone said in a sorrowful tone, "That's right, what she said makes sense. Those of us who are still standing here today, I wonder who will leave this world tomorrow."
Such heavy words caused everyone to stop talking. There were even some women who started to sob softly.
Yun Qixi forced herself to calm down, and said with a voice filled with power, "Everyone, do not be discouraged, it is not that the plague cannot be cured, but as long as everyone works together, we will definitely defeat the plague."
Someone questioned, "Girl, are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before? You also have the plague? "
Yun Qixi shook her head, "I don't have the plague, but I can cure it."
"You can cure the plague?" Everyone clearly did not believe him. Even if it was the imperial court that could not do anything about the plague, what they saw was just a young lady with crippled legs.
"Miss, please don't make us happy." Everyone was clearly dispirited.
Yun Qixi knew that it would be hard to convince them that she actually had a certain level of difficulty, so she patiently explained, "Everyone think about it, since I have not been infected by the plague, how could I dare to come to your side? Am I not afraid of death? "I'm afraid, the reason I dared to come in here is because I believe that I will definitely find a way to treat you all."
Hearing her words, everyone began to be skeptical. If they could live, no one would want to die. Although most of them had the mindset of waiting to die for a long time, when they heard Yun Qixi's words, they couldn't help but ignite a trace of hope in their hearts.
Suddenly, a woman rushed over anxiously from not too far away. As she ran, she shouted, "Bad news, bad news, Xiao Yu fainted."
Xiaoyu? Yun Qixi's heart tensed up. There were already many people who followed the woman towards a courtyard. Yun Qixi did not hesitate any longer and followed along.
She was leaning on her walking stick, so she naturally couldn't keep up with their running speed. However, she was extremely anxious, and her hurried footsteps looked extremely pathetic.
"Xiao Qi told me to watch him closely. He was fine at first, but for some reason, his whole body suddenly twitched and he fainted. What do we do now, Xiao Qi's not here yet. "
Xiao Qi! Xiao Yu! Yun Qixi had a strong premonition that the Xiao Qi that they were talking about was Yun Qi.
They pushed their way to the bed and saw a twelve to thirteen year old boy lying on it. If this wasn't Xiao Yu, who else could it be?
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu!" Yun Qixi slapped his face, but he did not react at all.
Yun Qixi did not have the time to think clearly about the doubts in her heart. Saving a life was the most important matter, and Yun Qixi looked at the people surrounding the room.
"Everyone go out first. This room is small to begin with, so it's not good for Xiao Yu to stay in the room."
Hearing that, everyone left the room, Yun Qixi called out to the lady who was the one who reported the news to him.
"Big Sis, can I trouble you to find me an embroidery needle?"
Since the woman was tasked with taking care of Xiaoyu, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to him. Thus, she hurriedly went to retrieve the embroidery needle.
Yun Qixi lit the candle, placed the embroidery needle on top of the fire for a while, then came over to the bed and poked Xiao Yu's body. The pain made Xiao Yu moan, but she still had not woken up.
The woman was suspicious of her medical skills. "Miss, is this alright?"
Yun Qixi didn't say anything, she helped Xiao Yu to sit up, found a few acupuncture points on the back of Xiao Yu's head and pierced them one by one. Not long after, Xiao Yu's fingers twitched twice, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"He's awake, he's awake." the woman cried happily.
Yun Qixi moved gently to have Xiao Yu lie down again. Although Xiao Yu opened her eyes, she was in a trance as she stared at Yun Qixi who was sitting in front of the bed, and said in a daze, "We really didn't take your things."
Yun Qixi's heart was in pain for no reason. She looked at him with a gentle smile, "Xiao Yu, I already know, you guys really didn't take it. "What do you think now?"
Xiao Yu's eyes were somewhat blank, she felt like she recognized her, yet she didn't recognize her, "Is that you? "I don't think so. You were so fierce before, but you're not as gentle as you are now."
Yun Qixi snickered, "Am I fierce? Elder sister, I have always been so gentle, alright? " With that, she turned to the woman and said, "Big Sis, may I trouble you to bring a bowl of salt water?"
After a while, the lady returned with some salt water and Yun Qixi fed it to Xiao Yu to drink. Then, he quickly closed her eyes.
The woman asked worriedly, "Miss, does Xiaoyu have any problems now?"
Yun Qixi covered Xiaoyu's blanket and said, "Don't worry, he's only sleeping now."
Hearing her words, the woman heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Qixi had been sitting by Xiao Yu's bedside watching the whole time, and it was unknown when she had fallen asleep, but her sleep was not very peaceful. In her dreams, Xiao Yu's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and she was shocked awake.
In front of her, Xiaoyu was still sleeping. She breathed a sigh of relief when a piece of clothing fell off her shoulder.
