This shadow guard is kinda nice

"Young master." Fu Qingru called after a few steps.

Mo Ran stopped, turned around, and saw that it was the beautiful shopkeeper.He raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Fu Qingru's eyes lit up, this young man is really handsome.She pulled the broken hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said: "My lord, you gave too much silver taels, and this shop doesn't accept too much silver taels."

Mo Ran was silent for a moment, he didn't give much, and he didn't bother to wait for Xiaoer to find the silver.

Before he could say anything, he paid the bill and took a step forward, placing the broken silver on the tray he was holding.

Mo Ran: "...Thank you."

Fu Qingru smiled as he watched his figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Fu Qingru returned to the counter, just about to open the account book just now, Ning Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to hold the account book, Fu Qingru raised his head and looked at him with displeasure.

"what are you doing?"

Ning Zhiyuan didn't answer her question, but just asked: "Haven't finished it yet?"

His tone was not very good. If he read correctly just now, when Fu Qingru turned around, he had a smile on his face.

Only that smile was never shown to him.

If Fu Qing sees him like this, he will naturally not give him a good face, "Yes," she raised her chin slightly to signal, "Young Master Ning, please go back first, I will read this account today."

After hearing this, Ning Zhiyuan's expression changed again and again. He could smile at a stranger, but he didn't even bother to give him a good look, right?

He struggled several times, but finally suppressed his anger, flung his sleeves and left.

Fu Qingru watched him leave, and the surrounding was quiet, she opened the account book again.

The next day, the sun rose and the mist cleared.Xiao Yichen and Mo Ran left the inn, and at the end of the long street where people come and go, they separated and walked in different directions.

When I first arrived in Pingyao yesterday, it was already dusk, Xiao Yichen didn't have time to learn too much about the epidemic, and only checked in a few medical clinics, so today, he and Mo Ran came separately to investigate the situation in Pingyao.As for the prefect's mansion, it won't be too late to go when Lin Hai and the imperial physicians arrive.

He still went to a medical clinic. In the early morning, there were not many people, but the medical clinic was already busy.

Just as Xiao Yichen was about to go in, there was a burst of shouting behind him, he stopped, turned around and saw that it was a woman with a child in her arms, and was about to rush into the medical hall.

He turned around and watched the woman step in hastily. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked in.

"Doctor, where is the doctor?" The woman hurriedly looked for the doctor as soon as she entered the door.

The shopkeeper came out from the counter and asked her what was wrong.

She continued intermittently: "My child... contracted a cold and has not recovered."

The shopkeeper's expression froze when he heard that he had caught the wind and cold. In this special period, if he caught the wind and cold, it was very likely that he had contracted the strange disease. He didn't dare to take it lightly and led the woman inside.

After a while, he came out and saw the white-clothed young man who had just entered behind the woman still standing there, so he went forward.

"What's the matter, sir?" he asked.

Xiao Yichen smiled lightly, "I've been coughing a bit lately, presumably I've caught a cold."

The shopkeeper's heart that had just been let go was immediately raised again. It is true that there are not a few people who have contracted cold recently, and most of them are due to that strange disease.Their medical clinic is relatively famous in Pingyao, and they also accept patients suffering from strange diseases, like ordinary medical clinics, now they will drive people out as soon as they hear it is a cold.

"Young master, come with me." He bent slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

Xiao Yichen nodded, followed the shopkeeper to the inner room where the woman went just now.

Passing through the long corridor, after turning two turns, a closed door appeared in front of him. Before he stepped in, the woman cried hysterically from inside, "Impossible!" , Impossible," she said loudly, "my child cannot have the disease."

She was rambling on, but her voice suddenly dropped, "He just...is just suffering from a cold. He caught a cold two days ago, and that's all."

"Your child is indeed infected with the disease, so he has a fever that can't go away for several days."

The doctor slowed down his voice, "As long as you cooperate with our treatment, it will be cured, and your child will be safe and sound."

The woman didn't believe it, and her voice became sharp again, "Who are you lying to, as if I don't know how many people have died? How many of the patients admitted to the suburbs have died."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the child, paused when she pushed the door open, and met Xiao Yichen who was outside the door.

The doctor also came out, frowning and looking at the two people standing outside, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "This young master also has a cold."

While the shopkeeper was talking, the woman was about to leave with the baby in her arms, but was stopped by the doctor's signal.

The doctor has no time to take care of Xiao Yichen, he has to take this patient in for treatment first, and concentrate them in a suburban area for treatment, otherwise letting them run around in Pingyao will only make the epidemic worse. "If you put the child down first and take him back now, it will only make the child's illness worse."

The doctor persuaded him earnestly, but the woman shouted at the doctor with red eyes, as if she didn't listen at all.

"You quack doctor, my son has no disease at all, but you want to lock him up," she pointed at the doctor, and said bitterly, "What's the difference between you and wanting his life, huh?"

The doctor has met quite a few people like this recently, and he has gotten used to it. He watched the woman's hysterical madness with cold eyes.

This is the innermost part of the medical center, ordinary illnesses will not come here, but some people will still pass by here, listening to the woman's cry from a distance, knowing that this place is for receiving epidemic diseases, they stay away, fearing that they will also be killed stained.

The woman was determined to leave, but the doctor had no way to persuade him any further. He glanced at the shopkeeper, who then opened the door to the backyard and waved for some strong men.

The woman refused to keep the child here, so they could only use force to keep the child here, rather than being taken out by his mother to contact more innocent people.

The woman watched a group of men wearing veils come in through the opened back door. She panicked and hugged her child even more tightly.

Her child's forehead was hot, and he was lying unconscious in her arms. She gritted her teeth and ran forward.

A folding fan was suddenly placed in front of her, she raised her head, and saw the young man who had been standing there since she opened the door.

A group of strong men stopped in their tracks. They stood behind the doctor and were always on the lookout for the woman's movements. As long as she had the idea of ​​running away, they would catch her and leave her child here.

Xiao Yichen put down the folding fan in his hand, he signaled the doctor not to speak, and then said softly to the woman: "I understand how you feel."

The woman pursed her lips and said nothing, just looked down at the child in her arms.

He smiled, pointed at himself with the folding fan, "Actually, the purpose of my coming here today is the same as your coming here."

The woman quickly raised her head and glanced at him, she seemed a little shocked, she couldn't understand why such a luxurious young man would look like her child.

In fact, she knew in her heart that since her son's high fever persisted, she had a premonition in her heart, but she was still holding on to luck, what if, what if her son just developed a fever from ordinary wind and cold.Until she woke her son up this morning, but she couldn't wake her son up.

Her palms were burning hot, she panicked, she didn't care about everything, she hugged her unconscious son and came to the hospital to see a doctor.

The reason why she didn't come here is that on the one hand, she had a fluke mentality, and on the other hand, there were too many rumors during this period. They said that as long as she had a fever, she would be taken to the suburbs for centralized treatment, but this disease There is no cure at all, and many people die every day.

She was afraid that what if her son did not have the disease and was taken to a centralized hospital for treatment, what would happen if he contracted the disease there.

The short quarter of an hour waiting for the doctor to see a doctor in the room just now was the most torturous quarter of her life.

When the doctor looked at her regretfully, it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. She was going crazy, holding her son and going away.

When she opened the door, she saw the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life. Afterwards, this extremely young man told her that he, like her son, had also contracted the disease.

How could this not shock her, is it only at this time that the disease is fair, he will treat you equally regardless of whether you are powerful or an ordinary person, no one can escape.

She twitched her lips, how funny you said, her son is still so young, but he has to suffer such a crime, he has a bright future, and after a while, he will be able to go to school, he is very smart Yes, he can gain fame in the future, and maybe he can become a good official loved by the people in the future.

But, at that moment, everything was destroyed.

Xiao Yichen kept looking at her without saying a word. After a long time, the woman finally opened her mouth, "Are... are you sure?"

Xiao Yichen nodded, "Sure, I came here because other clinics don't accept them."

His eyes were calm, and he kept staring at the woman in front of him, "If you are sick, you have to listen to the doctor to be cured, isn't it?"

The woman stared blankly at those quiet dark eyes, as if there was a huge vortex inside, sucking all her mind into it.

"Yeah," she heard herself say.

Xiao Yichen smiled.

The woman came back to her senses, and after realizing what she said, she immediately argued: "It needs to be a very good doctor." She glanced at the doctor standing behind Xiao Yichen, "Like that kind of quack doctor, it doesn't matter if you don't listen. "

"You already know it in your heart." Xiao Yichen pointed to the child in her arms, and said firmly, "You know that he has the disease, but you just don't want to admit it."

The woman was told what was on her mind, and she became angry from embarrassment, "So what?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen shook his head and smiled, "It's not that bad, it's just that everyone may get sick, you, me, him," he looked around at the people present, "Even everyone here, even the doctor, They could all be sick.”

"But it's not terrible. As long as you do what the doctor said, you may be cured," he said in a serious tone, and his expression was even more majestic. Others dared not look at him directly. "The terrible thing is that people like you , running around with the child, have you ever thought that he might miss the best healing time because of you."

The woman was completely stunned. Her child might miss the healing time because of herself, and thus leave this world.

Huge panic shrouded her heart, no, she really couldn't bear the consequences.

Her hands trembled uncontrollably, what she held in her arms was all of her.

She raised her head in bewilderment, "Then what should I do?" She seemed to be in extreme pain, and her face was pale by the years.

Xiao Yichen said softly: "Give the child to the doctor, and you go with him." He paused, and added: "I will go too."

The doctor and the shopkeeper looked at each other. It was inappropriate for the young man to go to the quarantine area before he was diagnosed with an epidemic. But now, there seemed to be no other way but to let him take precautions.

The woman's face was full of astonishment. The young man who was so noble said that he wanted to go with them. He believed the doctor. So, can he also...

She couldn't leave here now, her eyes turned back and forth several times on the group of strong men and Xiao Yichen, and finally, she chose to trust the young man in white robes in front of her.

He is right, believe the doctor, they will heal their son well, if it is because she took her son away today, and other medical centers can't heal her son, which leads to her son's death, her whole life Will not forgive myself.

She tightened her arms and said, "Okay."
