Lu Lingjue came back with the doctor's little apprentice in a hurry, when he arrived at the door, he found that he had eaten a cold shoulder.

"Yu Zhi! What are you doing!" Lu Lingjue asked around outside. No one knew why Su Mu suddenly closed the door to prevent people from entering, so they could only pat the door and shout loudly, "Let me in!It's getting cold!"

Before he finished yelling, Su Mude's voice came from inside: "Chen Chu, I will explain to you in detail later, you pass the medicine in first."

After Su Mu finished speaking, he opened the door, and although Lu Lingjue still didn't understand why, he still handed over a bowl of soup slowly.When Su Mu took the bowl firmly, he was about to ask, when he heard a snap, and Su Mu closed the door again.

Forget it, I'll ask again later.

Lu Lingjue believed that Su Mu was not a person who made trouble out of nothing, and he must have his own reasons for doing so, so after sending away Dr. Yan's young apprentice, he simply sat at the door and waited for Su Mu to come out.

After Su Mu came in with the medicine, he had a fierce struggle over whether to drink it or not. The cause of Liu Xiaoran's illness is still unknown, and the doctor probably prescribed the medicine according to wind, cold and fever. If it doesn't workThat's all, it's not okay to make things worse.

In the end, he decided to pour it on others first. It is always good to relieve the symptoms of high fever, at least it will make him feel better.

The process of feeding the medicine was not easy, Liu Xiaoran was completely unconscious now, she would almost instinctively spit out most of it after a spoonful of it, Su Mu had been as careful as possible, but most of the soup still spilled out.

He carefully wiped off the marks on the corners of Liu Xiaoran's mouth, put his hand on his forehead to feel it, and sighed.

He had never seen Liu Xiaoran like this.

After a while, he calmed down completely. It seemed that he had to leave for this trip to Huichuntang, but if Liu Xiaoran let others take care of him rashly, the infection would be even more dangerous...Su Mu slowlyAfter wiping his hands with a gauze stained with vinegar, he tucked Liu Xiaoran's quilt and opened the door.

Lu Lingjue was anxiously waiting at the door, jumped up as soon as she saw Su Mu open the door, leaned over and asked, "Yu Zhi, you're out, how is your lord doing?"

After deliberating for a while, Su Mu pulled Lu Lingjue towards him, and explained the cause and effect in a low voice. In order for Lu Lingjue to understand, he thoughtfully replaced the word "plague".

Lu Lingjue was stunned for more than ten seconds after listening, and then repeated with staring eyes: "What did you say? Plague?"

Su Mu patted Lu Lingjue's shoulder lightly and said, "It's not necessarily true, but Liu Shaoqing seems to be very afraid of infecting us with this, and - ordinary high fever should not be to the point of vomiting blood."

"What—my lord—"

"Hush——" Su Mu was about to cry out when he saw Lu Lingjue, and quickly covered his mouth tightly, "It's all guesswork now, and we'll find out exactly how, but if we allIf we leave, there will be no one to take care of Liu Shaoqing, if others don't know the situation, I'm afraid I will be in danger, so..."

"But if there is something wrong with Huichun Hall, then you—" Lu Lingjue heard Su Mu's implication, and said anxiously, "Besides, Yu Zhi, you are not a member of the official family, what if there are some vicious people in that Huichun Hall?"?”

Su Mu shook his head and comforted him: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there an ink book by your side? And take another 10,000 steps. It's broad daylight, and the medical clinic is also in a bustling place, so I won't let you in the street.Let’s go and never return. As for you, take good care of Liu Shaoqing right here, but you must pay attention to one thing.”

Su Mu reached out and handed the extra gauze to Lu Lingjue: "Remember to cover your mouth and nose with six layers of gauze before approaching. If one hand is inconvenient, wrap the cloth behind your head and clean your hands with vinegar after a while.It can try to prevent you from being infected as well."

"Although it's a bit complicated, it's also to ensure that nothing will happen to us." Su Mu thought of Liu Xiaoran's eyes closed and pale face, and felt distressed for a while, but no matter how worried, the matter still needs to be investigated. If it is really a plague, That would be a complete disaster for this city, "Liu Shaoqing entrusted all these to us, at least until he gets better, we need to protect ourselves."

When Lu Lingjue followed Liu Xiaoran in the past, she rarely met him like this. Even once or twice, Liu Xiaoran would often say to herself with a cold face, "What are you panicking?" It seemed that as long as he was around, Lu Lingjue would never need to think about it.What needs to be done later.It was the first time that Liu Xiaoran was in a coma and couldn't even speak, and when Su Mu said so, he felt that tears were coming from his eyes, so he quickly raised his head and responded.

After asking Lu Lingjue about the situation of Huichuntang, Su Mu found someone to lead the way there. Before leaving, he also gave Mo Shu thousands of instructions, and he would not leave until he made sure that Mo Shu understood everything.

One street away, Su Mu could already hear the sound of coughing and coughing at the entrance of the medical hall. Su Mu almost subconsciously wanted to hold his breath, and turned around to confirm that the ink book was tightly covered several times before he dared to go in.

Lu Lingjue had a little impression of Huichun Hall. Dr. Ruan here had had contact with Mou Xun before, so he was within the scope of their investigation. After questioning, this person did not have any time or opportunity to commit crimes, soIt could have been ruled out as a suspect.

Now looking at the bustling crowd outside the medical center, almost all of them have symptoms of coughing and cold, which is almost the same as Liu Xiaoran, and there are not a few people who vomit blood, which looks quite shocking.

The door of the medical hall was not open, Su Mu waited for a long time outside the crowd, only to see someone coming out from inside to deliver the medicine, he thought for a while, went around to the back door of the house, and sure enough stopped a little girl who was hurrying outLet's go, after hearing that Su Mu wanted to find Dr. Ruan, he refused almost without raising his head: "He's not here."

"Girl stay here." Su Mu didn't care about etiquette, and when he saw someone yearning to go out, he turned slightly to block the little girl's way, "Then how dare you ask where he is?"

The little girl seemed quite impatient, and returned in a cold voice: "I don't know where he went, but all the patients here are still waiting for me to go out to buy medicine and come back. Please don't stop me, my lord.".”

Seeing her in a hurry, Su Mu had no choice but to give up and get out of the way. After the little girl ran out for a few steps, she suddenly stopped and asked, "What are you looking for with Dr. Ruan?"

Although Su Mu didn't understand why she suddenly turned her head again, she still answered truthfully: "About these—these patients, I have something to ask him."

The little girl raised her head, sized up Su Mu and asked, "Are you on the same side as the adult who came the day before yesterday?"

Su Mu was startled for a moment, and then realized that it was Liu Xiaoran, who nodded and said, "Yes."

The little girl's expression became hesitant, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "Don't stay here, here..." She glanced at the crowd in front of the gate, and sighed, "It's not safe here, you andI'll go."

Su Mu was surprised for a moment when the little girl said that it was not safe here, but seeing the little girl turned her head and was about to go far away, she had no choice but to follow.

The little girl didn't hesitate, and said directly: "My name is Ruan Qing, and the doctor Ruan you are looking for is my father."

This time Su Mu didn't expect it, he thought he was just an ordinary guy in the medical center.

Ruan Qing paused, and then asked: "Why didn't that adult come to investigate today? What's wrong with him?"

"he……"

"Is he sick too?"

Seeing Su Mu's surprise, Ruan Qing sighed again: "When he came that day, I was not in the hospital, so I had no chance to meet him. When I came back, I saw him come out of the hospital.You have also seen the situation, if you are not aware of or prepared in advance, you will easily get infected."

"When did this disease start to spread? It seems that there are already quite a few people, but it seems that they have never heard of such a strange disease in the past few days?"

Ruan Qing's expression became serious again: "Although I don't know the origin of it, I remember that the first patient with this symptom was Uncle Li who came to our hospital to get medicine because of a broken leg.A day later, Aunt Li also got this disease, and later even the neighbor next door to Uncle Li also got this kind of cold. My father said that it was not a big problem, as long as he ate the medicine prescribed by him.The medicine will definitely cure the disease.”

Ruan Qing twisted her skirt, and continued: "Then Uncle Li collected all the money and took some medicines to go back. He had seen each other for a few days, but I don't know why after a few days, Uncle Li suddenly disappeared.gone."

"what?"

"My father couldn't believe it for a long time after he found out, but the rest of the people thought that it was because Uncle Li was old, so he couldn't bear the pain. The medicine prescribed by my father could indeed relieve some symptoms, and those who got sick would not seek other medicines.People from the medical clinic came here to get the medicine." Ruan Qing shook her head, "I thought this medicine could cure people, but after a few days, my father suddenly told me that I was not allowed to go to the medical clinic again.I started arguing with him, and he pointed at the people in the clinic and said, "Did you see, those who have that kind of disease... can't be cured."

Su Mu's breathing was stagnant when he heard this, and Ruan Qing's voice was no longer as calm as before: "I asked at the time, didn't you say, father, that it will be cured, why can't it be cured now?"

"My father was very fierce at the time. He would never talk to me like that. He said he didn't know why he couldn't be cured. He said it was different from that time. I was scared by his reaction.I couldn't tell, I just cried in a daze, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that my father seemed to have hidden something from me."

"It's just that he didn't like to talk to people after that, and he didn't show up anymore. When he met someone seeking medical treatment in the hospital, he just sent someone to grab the medicine and hand it outside the door. You saw it just now, the doctorThe door of the hospital is not open, and we are usually only allowed to go out through the small door. Only that time, he said that an adult was coming, so he opened the door of the hospital. It should be your friend, and he did notLet me stay in the hospital, saying that there are too many patients there, afraid that I will also get infected, and sent me to other places to buy medicinal materials. When I came back, he drove everyone out again, saying that he wanted toTake a rest, and then use wormwood to fumigate the medical hall carefully before you feel relieved."

After the two were silent for a long time, Su Mu suddenly asked, "So, you told us this because you think your father knows something and hope we can find out about it?"

Ruan Qing nodded, stopped and raised her head to look at Su Mu, with tears in her eyes: "My father and I came from outside, and the small medical clinic we opened is not as famous as those in the city.A well-known time-honored brand, although poorer, but my father has always done his best, but now there are so many things-although I can’t say it, but I always feel that my father seems to be sure from the beginning that he will have this disease, even the medicine is not available.It was prepared the day before, I... I am a little scared."

"This is by no means an ordinary cold. If this continues, more and more people will catch it. Although you are not doctors, I heard from my father that that young master is a great official, and you are hisFriends, you must be very powerful. Since you can manage this city, you must be able to save them." She lowered her head and wiped her tears with her hand. "My father is in the hospital. You go in through the small door I just said.Just go to the second floor."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and trotted out, leaving only Su Mu staring at the key in her hand in a daze.

This little girl must have tried to negotiate with her father many times before she would settle for the help of other people.

What follows is not just a key, it is clearly the heavy sincerity of a kind-hearted little girl.
