Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Lu Hu saw that Lin Wanwan had already let go of the woman.

He then walked confidently to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and cautiously asked, "Is what Miss Lin just said true?"

Did that woman really have the plague?

Lin Xiaoxiao has now stepped down from the carriage. She looked at the woman who had collapsed to the ground and said...

"While I am not sure if she has contracted the plague, I am certain that she has caught a cold."

In this icy, snowy landscape, Lord Lu carefully observed the expressions of those around him, noting any differences compared to that of the woman.

After observing carefully, Lu Hu noticed something was wrong.

The weather was cold, and the prisoners were pale from the cold, while the woman was also shivering from the cold.

But her complexion was unusually rosy.

"I'm afraid she's already developed a fever!"

Lin Xiaoxiao's voice rang out beside Lu Hu.

Lu Hu turned around and asked solemnly, "Then why do you think this person is infected with the plague, Miss Lin?"

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Not only is she breathing rapidly, but the lymph nodes on her neck are swollen. The bruises on the back of her hands are similar to those of the plague."

But just to be on the safe side, we should still see a doctor to confirm!

Although Lu Hu couldn't understand Lin Xiaoxiao's analysis, he felt that what Lin Xiaoxiao said was very credible.

He immediately said to Lin Wanwan, "Miss Lin, aren't you skilled in medicine? Go and diagnose her."

Let's see if she's actually infected with the plague!

Qiao Siyan immediately begged Lu Hu for mercy, "Sir? How can this be! What if she really has been infected with the plague?"

Wouldn't Wanwan be in danger?

Lu Hu: "Didn't you just say so confidently that she was fine?"

What are you afraid of now? And since you've had contact with her, do you really want to come back to the group?

Qiao Siyan was in a panic, muttering to herself, "This, this won't do!"

Lin Ziqian wanted to go over and plead for Qiao Siyan and her daughter, but Gu Shi stopped him.

“You stop right there! If the woman in front of them is really infected with the plague…”

If you go there now, you will definitely get infected too.

Lin Ziqian was so frightened by his mother's words that he dared not lift his foot.

To avoid any accidents, Land Rover ordered them to start driving immediately.

Although Lin Wanwan was suspicious of what the jade pendant on the woman's body was all about, she was also frightened by Lin Xiaoxiao's words.

Lin Wanwan and her mother were isolated at the very back of the line.

To prevent them from escaping, they were chained again.

The woman who asked for help was left standing there.

Her face became lifeless, as if she had given up in despair.

But upon seeing the direction Lu Hu and the others had left, his usually unwavering pupils showed a slight tremor.

Qiao Siyan, wearing chains, struggled to walk through the snow.

He kept cursing at Lin Xiaoxiao.

They felt that she was deliberately retaliating against them, which was why she was spreading alarmist rumors in front of Lu Hu.

Lin Wanwan was already feeling extremely annoyed by that woman's behavior.

When he heard Qiao Siyan constantly nagging, he finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded.

He said irritably, "Mother, please stop talking. Lin Xiaoxiao is right. That woman may indeed be infected with the plague."

"What did you say?" Qiao Siyan looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Lin Xiaoxiao was in the carriage, warming herself by a charcoal fire, and sewing a mask from a lot of white cloth.

Although her stitching was poor, the finished product was passable.

Looking at her clumsy sewing, Chen smiled and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what are you making?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand and waved the mask in her hand, saying, "Grandma, this is a mask to prevent the spread of the epidemic."

The woman came from the opposite direction, which means there's a high chance an outbreak is happening up ahead.

"By wearing this on your face and covering your mouth and nose, you can significantly reduce the risk of infection."

"Since this is so important, Grandma will help you sew it!"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked worriedly, "Will Grandma's eyes be able to withstand this?"

"Xiaoxiao underestimates her grandmother. This little bit of work is nothing in her grandmother's eyes."

Chen took the white cloth from Lin Xiaoxiao and quickly finished sewing the edges.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaoxiao exclaimed in genuine amazement, "Grandma is amazing!"

"Haha, you're such a sweet talker, girl." In Chen's opinion, this was not a skill to brag about.

But Lin Xiaoxiao really thought she was amazing.

By evening, they had finished sewing the masks.

Lu Hu and his team discovered a village, but none of them had slept well the night before.

So he was very excited and Lu Hu immediately sent people into the village to conduct a thorough investigation.

Having learned from their previous experience, they examined the items more carefully.

When I saw that the village was full of men, women, and children, and that they all looked normal.

Only then did they feel relieved and follow into the village to rest.

The local village chief was a thin, elderly man with a goatee.

After hearing Lu Hu and his group's request, they were warmly received.

To make it easier to control the exiled criminals, Lu Hu specifically asked the village chief to find them an abandoned house.

All the exiled prisoners were settled, while Qiao Siyan and Lin Wanwan simply found a sheltered place to rest.

Lin Ziqian had moments of reluctance, but the Gu family kept a close eye on him.

Qiao Siyan kept looking towards the door, and said worriedly, "Wanwan, why doesn't your father come to see us?"

Not wanting to see her mother sad, Lin Wanwan comforted her, saying, "Father must be under Lu Hu's control. If we don't show any symptoms in ten days, we'll be able to reunite with him."

Qiao Siyan nodded, but still couldn't feel happy.

Lin Xiaoxiao still didn't eat the food Lu Hu provided, but instead took out the pork she had bought in town earlier.

Cut into small pieces, stir-fry and stew until cooked, and a delicious plate of braised pork is ready.

She also specially cooked a pot of rice, as braised pork is the best dish with rice.

"Excuse me, could you give us the water from this pot?"

After cooking, Liu was worried that the pot wouldn't hold up well, so she soaked it in a bowl of water early on.

I never expected that this would attract someone's attention!

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the woman and said, "If you don't mind, you can take it!"

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this and was about to take a bowl to serve herself.

But the water in the pot was poured outside the door.

Mu Qingwan turned around and glared at Lin Xiaoxiao, saying, "Lin Xiaoxiao, isn't it going too far to make others drink your dishwater?"

But when the woman saw this, she was heartbroken and cried out, "Oh dear, what's wrong with you, girl?"

"I don't mind at all, how could you give it to me?"

Mu Qingwan quickly comforted the woman: "Sister, didn't you realize that others were insulting you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qingwan with a mocking expression: "Insult? In the face of life and death, can your aloofness help them fill their stomachs?"

Then Lin Xiaoxiao poured Mu Qingwan's food directly into the woman's bowl.

"Thank you, Miss Lin, thank you, Miss Lin!" The woman was taken aback at first, then bowed deeply to Lin Xiaoxiao with great emotion.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped her from bowing any further: "Alright, go and eat with the child!"
