Seeing Jiang Ji pierce through their bodies with a sword, the people all put down their hands in silence. Some of them looked at Jiang Ji with resentment.

But Jiang Ji didn't have any explanation.

In Jiang Ji's eyes, anyone who pushes the limit is the one who puts his junior sister in a dilemma, especially this person.

He is a spy, so just kill him.

Xiang Quan also put away the embarrassment on his face. He asked the silver-armored soldiers to search out the infected people, and also asked people to search the clothes of the dead person. Sure enough, a token was found on him.

"It's the token of the refugee soldiers. This man is a member of the refugee army and deserves to be put to death."

Xiang Quan said loudly, indirectly explaining why Jiang Ji killed people.

"The refugee army's spies entered Anping and spread rumors. Don't believe them."

The people thought about how this man had just been standing among them, and also thought about Jiang Ji's words, so they all shut their mouths and stopped resisting.

Xiang Quan finally successfully found a lot of people.

These infected people were the first batch to be infected. They all had symptoms of fever and cough, and their condition was quite serious. I'm afraid if they had come any later, they would have really died at home as the master said.

Many patients came to District 3.

The room where Mu Qing lived was originally a single room, but she still lived in a room with four people.

Most of the people in the room were children of Mu Qing's age, around seven or eight years old, or even younger.

Among the common people, only the farmers were familiar with Mu Qing. These children did not remember people very well and Mu Qing had his hair down at the moment, so they did not recognize him.

Those who take care of the patients are also the patients.

There are four people in a room, and the person with the mildest symptoms will usually take care of the other patients, and food and medicine will be delivered to the door by other people.

Mu Qing has been feeling much better after taking some medicine recently, except that he keeps coughing.

There are three people living in a room with four people, and just today another child was sent in after taking medicine.

The nine-year-old boy's name is Xiao Feng. He is from the Xiao family in Anping and is a well-known bully among the children.

"I don't want to go in. I want to go home. I want to go back to the Xiao family. If you continue to do this, I will tell my uncle!"

Xiao Feng was crying, with tears and snot streaming down his cheeks.

He was shouting and scratching at the door before he came in.

Tang Li, who was in charge of taking care of these children, wiped Xiao Feng's snot, picked him up and threw him in.

When looking at Mu Qing, Tang Li smiled at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing looked at the newcomer Xiao Feng.

At this moment, Xiao Feng's face was still abnormally flushed, and he was obviously confused due to the fever.

When Xiao Feng started crying, the children who were huddled by the bed in the room also started crying because they missed their family too much.

The three children cried non-stop, it was so miserable.

Mu Qing resigned himself to his fate and moved forward step by step, holding a wet towel in one hand and pulling at Xiao Feng's clothes with the other.

"What are you going to do!"

When Xiao Feng saw someone of the same age reaching out to take off his clothes, his crying suddenly stopped.

"Nothing, just cooling you down."

A wet towel can be used to cool down physically, and if the fever is severe, alcohol can also be used to cool down. However, Mu Qing saw that Xiao Feng still had strength, so he touched his body with his hand.

The fever is not too high and a wet towel is enough to reduce the temperature.

Seeing Mu Qing rummaging around, Xiao Feng grabbed the towel and said:

"No need for you, I can do it myself."

"alright."

The children in the Mu family grew up with Mu Qing. They were all very precocious. Even though Mu Qing was a child himself, he had never gotten along with children with normal personalities.

Especially the two little boys who were moved to tears by Xiao Feng.

Mu Qing suddenly felt a headache. Seeing that Xiao Feng could take care of himself, she went to the bedside to check on the two children who were crying pitifully.

The two children are twins, one is Yan Ming and the other is Yan Che.

Although the fabrics of the two children's clothes were not as good as Xiao Feng's, they were also clean and tidy.

Mu Qing put down the book in his hand and walked over.

Yan Ming, the boy on the double bed, saw Mu Qing approaching them and tried to stop him and his brother Yan Che:

"I have seen you before. You must be the child of one of the high officials in the government office."

Yan Ming had seen Mu Qing walking to the government office many times. He was young and didn't know that Mu Qing was the Lord Mu his parents mentioned, but this did not prevent Yan Ming from emitting hostility at this moment.

He sobbed and spoke intermittently:

"No one among the high officials is a good person... We are staying at home... well,

I was caught and locked up by... you guys."

He pointed at Mu Qing and continued to cry, his voice becoming more and more choked:

"I hate...you guys, and I hate you too,...you're all bad guys!"

"Me? Bad guy?" It was the first time that Mu Qing was called like that, and he couldn't help but stare at her.

"Yes, you are. Don't think I don't know that you are in league with those people outside. You want to capture us and make pills for us to eat. My father said that it is best to have virgin boys and girls make pills."

Mu Qing twitched the corners of his mouth as he listened to the elementary school-style curse that had no insulting meaning at all.

Okay, whatever you say is what it is.

Just ...

What's the point of having young boys and girls make elixirs? She remembered that her reputation was quite high, so how come she was portrayed as a bad person who captured people to make elixirs?

Mu Qing's face darkened.

Only today did she receive news from Xiang Quan and Situ Jin that there were refugee troops spreading rumors in Anping.

She didn't expect that the rumors she heard from Yan Ming were so outrageous:

"Alchemy is bullshit, that's what alchemists do. The officials in Anping are all good officials, they don't do this kind of thing."

"Really?"

"Really, I swear."

Mu Qing raised her hand. She was afraid that if she didn't refute the rumor, it would become more and more outrageous.

When Tang Li comes to deliver the medicine, she will have to inform her senior brothers.

Yan Ming was still a child after all, and when he heard Mu Qing swear, he continued to let Mu Qing approach them.

Mu Qing came to the bedside. The symptoms of the two children were more serious than Mu Qing's, especially Yan Che who was sitting in the corner. His high fever did not go down even after taking medicine.

Mu Qing took out some star-shaped maltose and handed them to Yan Ming:

"Don't think that Anping's officials are so bad. Here's some candy for you. Put one in your mouth when you take your medicine."

Yan Ming looked at the candy in Mu Qing's hand eagerly. He didn't want to take it, but after looking at his brother who was feeling sad, he took the candy from Mu Qing.

Yan Ming tried malt candy once during the Chinese New Year. The candy was sweet and delicious.

"Thank you." Yan Ming stopped crying and stammered before thanking Mu Qing.

Mu Qing didn't care and finally coaxed the two children into submission.

Maybe it was due to the effect of the medicine, Xiao Feng fell asleep not long after he came in.

Yan Che felt so uncomfortable that he fell asleep on the bed.

Mu Qing and Yan Ming were the only ones left in the room.

Yan Ming has deep feelings for his brother, who is still young.

Mu Qing not only knew a lot, but also gave him candy. Plus, there was no one else in the room, so his heart naturally went to Mu Qing.

Yan Ming has been extremely scared these past few days. Although the food here is good, as a child he has to take Chinese medicine every day, which makes Yan Ming feel bitter in his mouth and heart.

Yan Che's body has been feeling very hot. Yan Ming himself also had a high fever several times yesterday. He has been worried for a whole day. He suddenly wanted to talk to Mu Qing.

Yan Ming's voice trembled:

“Is this a plague?”

He opened his wet eyes.

Mu Qingcai looked over and saw tears in the boy's eyes.

"It's a plague."

"I heard from my father that the plague will kill many people."

"Ah."

Yan Ming was obviously a little upset when he heard Mu Qing's affirmative answer. He clenched his teeth and his body suddenly began to tremble:

"My elder brother and I also got the plague.

that……

Are we going to die..."

After the boy finished speaking, big tears fell to the ground and onto Mu Qing's outstretched hand.

The teardrops were warm, not very hot, but they seemed to have burned a hole in Mu Qing's heart.
