The Psychic Girl

Chapter 35: Epidemics and refugees, a sign of war?

"But Master! If you hadn't left her at the castle lord's place, she wouldn't even be alive now!

She should be your woman!"

Qing Liu complained indignantly, but he didn't expect that this would hurt his master's heart even more.

"Qing Liu, shut up! I have never said such words to Xi'er, and you are not allowed to say them either!

I don’t want to become like my father and brother Tianming. She has never been my toy...

Xier is free, and if the day comes when she can leave, she would be willing to stay, and of course I would be happy.

But if she doesn't want to... I will eventually let her go.

As long as it is her own choice, I shouldn't force it."

Although Yan Zini spoke very rationally, his heart was in turmoil.

If Xia Xi really chose to leave, would he be willing to let her go?

Or tie her to your side at all costs...

After meeting Xia Xi, he seemed to have finally found the meaning of living in this world, but he also seemed to have fallen deeper and deeper into the abyss of an endless cycle.

Even started to lose myself...

He has been feeling uneasy these past few days, and there's always a voice in his head reminding him.

Xia Xi will be hurt because of him.

But how could that be? He would never hurt Xia Xi, and he would never allow anyone to hurt her.

However, Yan Zini's worries did not decrease in the slightest. After that transformation into a dragon, his fear gradually deepened.

If he stopped insisting and agreed to his father's request to help him recover his spirit bones, he could control the dragon transformation himself and would not hurt the people around him for fear of losing control.

but……

Yan Zini's eyes flickered. While trimming the branches and leaves in the pot, he stared absentmindedly at the bluestone road outside the window that Xia Xi must have passed when she came.

"hiss!"

The finger was instantly cut by the knife and turned over, and the blood that oozed out was scarlet and slowly dripped into the soil where the spiritual herbs were planted.

……

Jinquan City.

It extends from the streets at the city gate to the alleys of Jinquan City.

Ragged and hungry refugees can be seen everywhere.

A group of ordinary people, young and old, with their families, were sitting on the roadside with their only remaining money and empty eyes.

After experiencing the invasion of epidemics, the land was barren, relatives and friends around them died one after another, and they were forcibly driven away wherever they went. They didn't know what they had done wrong, and they had to flee everywhere like ants.

All this is just because they are the most ordinary people in Lingwu Continent, the most dispensable existence.

Those who are the first to truly experience the breath of death in war are always those living at the bottom of society in this era.

Ye Sheng looked at the refugees who were groaning and groaning in the pharmacy, and shook his head helplessly.

This is the third batch of refugees that Ye Family Pharmacy has admitted free of charge this month.

The mayors of several nearby towns drove out the refugees. Only the mayor of Jinquan City reluctantly took in some elderly, weak, women and children.

"If this continues, the Ye Family Pharmacy will not be able to survive even if its foundation is strong!"

Ye Sheng said this to his father more than once.

But Ye's father couldn't bear it, and still tried his best to treat the refugees who came to seek help free of charge.

Later, several other pharmacies in Jinquan Town also put aside their past prejudices and began to provide medicine and medical treatment to the displaced refugees.

However, because the gates of Nanshu were tightly closed and even the sick people in their own families were driven out, the number of refugees from the border between Dongli and Nanshu continued to increase.

Yesterday, my eldest brother Ye Fenghuan wrote to say that he was injured near the Forbidden Ridge in the south and was rescued by a girl.

Although his life is not in danger, he will need more than a month of rest to recover from his injuries.

Therefore, the medicinal materials that were originally intended to be transported back to Jinquan are difficult to replenish during this period.

Over the past ten days, many refugees have died due to sudden infections and lack of medicine.

Everyone in the Ye family devoted themselves to epidemic prevention and saving lives.

What made Ye Sheng happy was that his younger sister and third brother were both in Beiyuan and were not affected.

After the Three Ancient Kingdoms were occupied by the rebels, the King of Beiyuan publicly stated that no matter which countries started the war in the future, as long as they did not enter Beiyuan's territory and did not involve the people of Beiyuan, the King of Beiyuan would always maintain a neutral position and would not be involved in external wars.

Although the policy of not participating in the non-aligned alliance was criticized for a while, it seems to be a wise move in the long run.

"A Ming, it has been almost two months since the young lady left.

After a few days when you have some free time, you can go to the post station again and I will write a letter home to Ye Zhan.

After working so hard for so many days, Dad's health is getting worse and worse. I was thinking of asking my younger sister and the others to come back to see him, but now it seems better for them not to come back for the time being."

Thinking of his little sister, Ye Sheng felt inexplicably uneasy.

I don't know if she can get used to living in Cangjie...

……

After separating from Xia Xi, Qing Ling rested for a while in King Liang’s exclusive camping site. After calming down, she immediately remembered.

This is such a rare opportunity to eliminate future troubles, I can't just leave Xia Xi alone! He immediately looked for Xia Xi everywhere.

Unexpectedly, he met Prince Dongli Dong Ye Ke and several of his attendant guards who were hurriedly returning to the hunting ground.

"Qing Ling? Why are you here? Is father's birthday banquet over?"

Dong Ye Ke was dressed in military uniform.

He had a high nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows that slanted into the strands of black hair at the temples. There was a hint of kingly heroism between his brows.

He looked like he had just been through a fierce battle, and even his face was full of energy and vigor.

"Royal brother! Why did you come back just now? We just finished lunch and the birthday performance has not started yet."

Qing Ling has no particular likes or dislikes towards this imperial brother.

However, she had heard her father complain many times about the conflicts between him and her father in the court.

"I'm going to prepare a gift for my father. This gift must be the best gift of all today!

It's worth all my efforts to finally catch this high-level spiritual beast, the Lion Hyena Bird!"

Dong Ye Ke was very excited and showed off the space ring on his hand to Qing Ling.

"Lion-hyena?"

Hearing this, a hint of cunning and viciousness flashed in Qing Ling's eyes.

“This is a rare spiritual beast!

My dear brother, if you were to appear on the stage riding this spirit beast, you would definitely look very impressive, and all the guests present would be shocked."

She said seemingly unintentionally.

Dong Ye Ke in front of her actually listened to her words...

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The spirit beast is out of control!"

The originally peaceful and orderly birthday party venue was suddenly filled with noisy commotion.

There were the cries of women and children, the sounds of things breaking, and mixed in with the roars of monsters.

A giant, long-haired, bird-like spirit beast with fangs sticking out of its bloody mouth and waving a pair of wings was flying prone in the huge camping site.

Because a practitioner had set up a barrier, he was trapped in a small space and rushed around.
