The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 356

“I heard that someone at the city gate had contracted a strange disease, and it was contagious.

Everyone is afraid of being infected, so they all hide at home.

Brother, you should go home and hide, don't hang around outside anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Fu Chunfeng a chance to let go, the man broke free and quickly went in one direction as if he was being chased by a dog.

"Miss Qiao, I have to send you back quickly."

As a doctor, Fu Chunfeng felt that when he heard that someone had a strange disease, it was like a gambler suddenly getting addicted to gambling. He wanted to rush over immediately.

So without waiting for Qiao Xi to speak, he ordered the coachman to drive the carriage faster.

Even when the carriage was moving slowly, it was already very bumpy.

The carriage was moving very fast, and Qiao Xi was forced to leave the wooden seat while holding on to the carriage with her hands.

"Da da da--"

There were bursts of horse hooves, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether it was their horses or the horses outside.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a horse roared outside the carriage, and then Qiao Xi was hit by the force of inertia.

The force was so strong that it almost broke her shoulder blade.

She endured the pain and exerted force with her hands, and finally managed to sit up straight in the carriage.

Looking at Fu Chunfeng, he is even worse off than her.

He almost fell flat on his back. Qiao Xi even heard a "bang". Then she saw Fu Chunfeng covering his head with one hand, grimacing in pain, and didn't say a word for a long time.

With this kind of force, don’t get a concussion.

"Doctor Fu, are you okay? Are you feeling nauseous or dizzy?"

Fu Chunfeng only felt stars in front of his eyes, his vision was blurred, his ears were buzzing, and he could hardly hear people talking.

If he hadn't felt the force with which Qiao Xi was pulling him, he would have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Qiao Xi became even more worried. She didn't dare to shake him, so she could only keep calling "Doctor Fu" in his ear.

She didn't stop until Fu Chunfeng responded to her.

"Is this the carriage of Doctor Fu?"

Qiao Xi was about to ask about Fu Chunfeng's situation again when she heard a voice coming from outside the carriage.

The driver replied, "It's Doctor Fu's carriage. Who are you?"

"I am you—"

"Big Brother, are you looking for me?"

Qiao Xi recognized the voice as belonging to Li Wen, and without waiting for him to finish asking the rest of the question, she eagerly lifted the car curtain.

"Little Junior Sister, I finally found you. Come back to the mansion with my senior brother. My uncle is back and asked me to ride a horse to pick you up.

"Brother Fu, thank you very much for helping my junior sister today. I, Li Wending, will come to thank you again some other day."

When the curtain was lifted, Li Wen naturally saw his good friend Fu Chunfeng in the carriage, so he bowed and thanked Fu Chunfeng.

Fu Chunfeng still had a splitting headache at the moment and didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand:

"Okay, okay. I get it. Ouch!"

After answering Li Wen, he touched his head and couldn't help groaning.

"Doctor Fu, are you dizzy? Do you feel like vomiting?"

Seeing Fu Chunfeng in so much pain, Qiao Qian felt a little worried and asked the same question again.

Seeing him shake his head, he felt relieved and took Li Wen's hand. He jumped directly from the carriage to the horse's back and sat steadily behind Li Wen.

"Junior sister, sit tight!"

After saying this, Li Wen whipped his horsewhip, and with a "snap", the horse flew out like an arrow.

Accompanied by the clatter of horse hooves, Qiao Xi followed the horse's movements to cushion the bumps, while loudly asking Li Wen in front of her:

"Big Brother, did something big happen in Baidi City?"

"Something big has indeed happened. It's not convenient to talk now. We can discuss it in detail when we get to Sanweiwu."

While he was talking, the horse had already run some distance.

In less than half a minute, they arrived at the gate of Xiao Mansion.

The two of them almost ran all the way to Sanweiwu.

As soon as Qiao Xi entered the gate of Sanweiwu, she was surrounded by everyone in the courtyard.

Including Li Wen behind her, all five senior brothers were there.

Plus the people arranged by Wang Canglang and the third senior brother to protect her.

"Junior sister, are you okay?"

"Junior sister, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Little Junior Sister, no one in the Grand Tutor's Mansion is giving you any trouble, right?"

"Junior sister, are you tired?"

……

Without any prior agreement, they spoke almost at the same time, one after another, and every word showed their concern for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi felt warm in her heart, but there were so many people caring about her that she didn't know whose question to answer first.

Just when she was in trouble, a familiar voice, like the sound of nature, instantly solved her problem.

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, her eyes were smiling, and her voice was full of joy:

"Master, you are back!"

"Yes! The master is back."

As Xiao Yushan spoke, the people surrounding Qiao Xi automatically made way for him, allowing him to reach Qiao Xi without any hindrance.

Xiao Yushan came to Qiao Xi and was very pleased to see his disciple's reaction. He felt that it was worth his decision to accept her as his only disciple.

"Okay, stop crowding here. Follow me to the study. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Xiao Yushan took the lead and walked towards his study.

Because Qiao Xi was his apprentice, the others let her go second.

Then Li Wen and others followed one after another.

Xiao Yushan sat at the head of the table. The situation was urgent, so he didn't beat around the bush. He glanced at everyone and said bluntly:

"According to the information from above, due to special reasons, some outsiders have been temporarily placed in the outer city of Baidi City.

But for some reason, some of those outsiders suddenly fell ill in the past two days.

Their symptoms are almost the same. First, they have a cold-like feeling, then a high fever that won't go away, and then a constant cough.

Eventually, their bodies would be covered with spots. Once the spots appeared, within a few days, they would breathe in less and breathe out more.

You are all disciples of the Xiao family, and you should understand what awaits you."

Xiao Yushan spoke in a solemn tone and with a serious expression, and the people who listened also had stern expressions.

Seeing that they were silent and staring at each other in deep thought, Xiao Yushan continued,

"The key is that their disease is contagious. At first there was only one case, then two, then three or four. If we leave it unchecked, the consequences will be disastrous in the long run."

"Master, do you have any idea about their illness?"

Since he knew so much about this matter, he must have already investigated it. The situation was so urgent, so Qiao Xi directly expressed her thoughts.

"That's right!" Xiao Yushan cast an admiring look at Qiao Xi, "Master was not in Baidi City a few days ago because he went to investigate this matter.

Actually, their disease was probably brought from their hometown.

They suddenly left their homes to avoid the disease, but someone brought the disease with them.”

"If that's the case, isn't it somewhat similar to the plague recorded in the pharmacopoeia?"

Li Wen read almost all the pharmacopoeias in Xiao's collection. At that time, he also paid special attention to the records in the pharmacopoeia about multiple people getting sick at the same time.
