The next day, it was snowing heavily with goose feathers, Yuan Chen was wearing a tea-white cloak with sleeves wrapped around his hands, just as he walked out of the dormitory, he saw Gao Yuan standing in the hall breathing.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards Dexin Hall together.

When walking through the hallway, Yuan Chen inadvertently caught a glimpse of bloodstains in the snow and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yuan followed Yuan Chen's line of sight and exclaimed, "Blood!"

Looking at the blood, Gao Yuan felt as if he had returned to the day of the Double Ninth Festival. The blood splashed on the tree trunk was scary when he thought about it now.

The Qiu and Li families were at odds with each other, and I heard that the Li family even said that they wanted to exchange ten thousand taels of gold for Qiu Wenshu's head.

Gao Yuan walked quickly to Yuan Chen's side, and said nervously: "One thing more is worse than one thing less, let's go."

"You stay where you are, and I'll find out." Yuan Chen still had something to say, which didn't look like human blood...

"Yuan Chen! Yuan Chen!"

Yuan Chen walked quickly, and soon found the source of the blood - a white fox.

"Woof..." The white fox looked at Yuan Chen pitifully with its wet eyes, one of its legs was folded out strangely, blood kept flowing, and the wound seemed to be bitten by a wild animal.For some reason, Yuan Chen suddenly thought of Qiu Wenshu who saved him with all his strength, but was abandoned by him in the dark forest...

Gao Yuan was walking uneasily in the corridor, and was about to turn around and leave when he caught a glimpse of bamboo green from the corner of his eye.

Yuan Chen, who was wearing a bamboo-green Taoist robe, came out from under the tree on the snow.His face was calm, and his steps were fast and orderly. The snowflakes fell on his black square scarf, his increasingly broad shoulders, and the cloak wrapped in his arms, adding a bit of indifference to him. Go, like a banished immortal.

Gao Yuan watched Yuan Chen approaching obsessively.

"It's a fox." Yuan Chen stepped into the hallway, his ears were red with cold, and there were snowflakes on his low eyelashes, and there were clouds of white mist between his words. "Its leg is broken."

At this time, a melodious bell sounded from the bell tower of the academy.

Gao Yuan came to his senses and said, "We're going to be late, Yuan Chen, let's leave it here first."

The fox in his arms trembled, the warm touch made Yuan Chen shake his head, and said: "You go first, I'll be there later." After finishing speaking, Yuan Chen walked back with the fox in his arms.

Gao Yuan had no choice but to keep up with Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen has ten ash powder and gold sore medicine for treating wounds in his hand, but he doesn't want to take them out to make Gao Yuan suspicious.They took the medicine from the general servant, treated its wounds in the corridor, and placed it in the dormitory.

When they returned to Dexin Hall, it was already time, and the master was already teaching, so they apologized and sat at the back.

Dexintang was exposed to the wind on three sides, so it was very cold.Yuan Chen crossed his arms and rubbed up and down.Gao Yuan took off his cloak, trying to put it on for Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen said: "It's not cold, it's just a little itchy." After finishing speaking, he scratched his face uncontrollably.

After reluctantly listening to the class for a while, Yuan Chen finally got impatient and scratched his face again, only to feel that his skin was uneven. He frowned and asked Gao Yuan next to him: "Brother Gao, is there anything unusual about my face?"

"What's the matter?" Gao Yuan didn't hear clearly, and looked at Yuan Chen affectionately, but when he saw Yuan Chen's face covered with red rashes, he immediately backed away rubbing his buttocks, "You you...your face ..."

Yuan Chen scratched his hands, exposing his arms covered with red rashes, his face was startled and suspicious, he leaned forward inadvertently: "What's wrong with me?"

Gao Yuan shouted loudly: "Don't come here!"

"You two!" The teacher who was teaching sullenly came over here.

Everyone in Dexin Hall looked over.

"Oh my god! Yuan Chen's face..."

"What happened to my face?!"

The master also stopped, not daring to move forward, he looked away and asked, "Yuan Chen, what did you eat by mistake?"

"I just ate this morning—"

Gao Yuan interrupted Yuan Chen's words, and said in a trembling voice: "He ran around carrying a white fox covered in blood today, and even treated its wounds himself... The fox can't be sick!"

Everyone was shocked, and there was a lot of discussion.

"It's not contagious, is it?"

"We'd better stay away..."

Gao Yuan scratched his neck unconsciously, and the Master was startled.

"Yuan Chen...it's cold outside, and you're sick again, so go back to the dormitory for now? I'll send someone to invite the doctor, and I'll send you three meals...Gao Yuan, you and Yuan Chen are inseparable today, so go back to yourself Stay in the dormitory..."

What is the difference between this and confinement? Yuan Chen resisted the itch, frowned, his eyes were full of coldness, and his tone was emotionless: "Please send someone to Huzhou Qingfeng Square to report my name Yuan Chen No, get my bookboy."

At noon, the snow stopped and the sun came out.

The entire roof of Feng Mansion was covered with thick and soft snow, which shone silver under the sunlight.

Feng Shiqing was taking a rest today, and he and his wife Qiu Wenwen were sitting on the soft couch, playing chess, when someone came to report: "My lord! Something is wrong! There seems to be a plague in Hushan Academy."

When Feng Shiqing heard this, he got up immediately, took the cloak and went out, and asked someone to invite the master to come to the study.

The little official who came to report the letter was standing in front of the study door, and said to Feng Shiqing: "The master of the academy came to report that a student touched a wounded fox, and his whole body was itchy, with red rashes all over his body... The doctor said...it might be an epidemic..."

The master came in a hurry, sweating like rain in the winter.

"Send people to surround the academy first, so that they can enter but cannot exit, and control the suspicious epidemic." Feng Shiqing paced with his hands behind his back, and said anxiously, "Then summon all the famous doctors in Huzhou to Hushan Academy to diagnose the pulse of the students."

The master hesitated and said: "My lord, the officers and soldiers of the yamen are all stationed in the Feng residence..."

The implication is that there are no hands.

Feng Shiqing paused, and then asked, "How much land does Hushan Academy occupy?"

"About... fifty acres of land..."

"So big..."

In the study, Feng Shiqing frowned.After Qiu Wenshu's accident, they were afraid that the thieves would hurt Qiu Wenshu, so they dispatched officers and soldiers to surround Feng's house in a watertight manner to ensure Qiu Wenshu's safety... Recently, there have been no thieves coming, so they should give up the idea of ​​a sneak attack...

Feng Shiqing thought deeply and said: "Transfer all the officers and soldiers of the mansion to Hushan Academy, and speed up the confirmation of the illness!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Feng Shiqing went back to the main room to change clothes, and briefly told Qiu Wenwen about the matter.

At a quarter of noon, Feng Shiqing went to the magistrate's yamen to sit in town, and the master led the officers and soldiers to Hushan Academy.

And the servant who set off in the morning to deliver the letter to Qiu Wenshu at Hushan Academy came back at [-]:[-] p.m., and returned the letter to Yinquan in fear.

Knowing the cause and effect, Yinquan rushed to tell Qiu Wenshu.

At that time, Qiu Wenshu was reading a book on the soft couch, and when he saw Yinquan came back with a pale face and a letter in his hand, he couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him.

Yinquan panted, covering up the slight loosening of the snowdrift on the roof.

Yinquan couldn't explain clearly, but only listened to someone else, and said: "Academy... there is a plague in the academy!"

"Plague?!" Qiu Wenshu put down the book and was about to ask carefully.

"The servant who delivered the letter said... that the first person to get sick was... Mr. Yuan..."

Qiu Wenshu was shocked: "What did you say!"

"Quickly ask the doctor," Qiu Wenshu said immediately, "Please ask the doctor—"

"Don't worry, young master, my uncle has already sent people to invite all the famous doctors from Huzhou..."

Qiu Wenshu calmed down a little, and stammered: "You, you go to the gate of the yamen to watch, if you have any news, hurry, hurry, report back."

Yinquan went away in response.

Qiu Wenshu sat in the room blankly, the tea in the cup had already run out of smoke and was gradually cooling down.

"Yuan Chen, Yuan, Yuan Chen won't, nothing will happen..." Brother-in-law invited a doctor, Yuan Chen will be all right.

But immediately, Qiu Wenshu began to talk to himself again, his worry was palpable: "She, will she, be afraid..."

Yuan Chen is a little girl who can't even write clearly, and her hair is untidy...
