Chapter 83 Why choose death when you can live



Su Sijin rubbed her sore neck and looked at the test report in her hand with a serious expression.

Not the plague, but malaria.

Malaria, which had disappeared in previous generations, was indeed the most deadly plague in the Dai Viet Dynasty.

Anyone infected with malaria is doomed to die.

Su Sijin searched through the space and found no prescription for malaria among the prescriptions and medicine books collected from the Imperial Hospital.

Su Sijin suddenly remembered that she had read an ancient book before.

The above records in detail the symptoms of malaria, the route of transmission, and the prescriptions.

Su Sijin searched the study and bedroom thoroughly but still couldn't find it.

Su Sijin was very frustrated. She had clearly seen it, but she just couldn't remember where she put it.

Su Sijin's eyes darted around, and finally she saw a piece of yellowed paper in the corner of the cabinet.

Su Sijin took great pains to take out the yellowed paper.

When she saw the cover it was indeed true, and she excitedly turned to the malaria section.

When she saw the prescription, Su Sijin made a quick decision and chose to copy two copies.

Then he went to the pharmacy to get the medicine according to the prescription. "It will take ten doses to cure the disease. Let me get ten first!"

This way, people wouldn't be suspicious. Besides, she had a prescription and could get the medicine from the pharmacy.

Combined with acupuncture, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If Chinese and Western medicine can be combined, malaria will be killed more quickly. Therefore, Su Sijin searched the Western pharmacy again.

"Very good, we have both Chinese and Western medicines, so there is nothing to be afraid of malaria." Su Sijin finally let go of her worries.

Now that there is a treatment plan, there is no time to delay. When Su Sijin was about to go out, she heard Lu Changgong's anxious shouting.

Something big must have happened that could cause Lu Changgong to be so emotionally unstable.

Su Sijin flashed out of the space, "Lu Changgong, I'm here, what happened?"

Faced with Su Sijin's sudden appearance, Lu Changgong fearfully hugged her in his arms, and the uncontrolled force made Su Sijin cry out in pain.

Lu Changgong let go of her after hearing this, and rushed out while holding her hand and saying, "The fire is happening, let's get out quickly."

"Why did the water suddenly burst?"

"Let's talk about it after we get out." Lu Changgong didn't have time to explain in detail and pulled her out.

However, the place where they were was the most severely engulfed by the fire, and the flames filling the sky with fluorescent light were approaching them at the fastest speed.

The thick smoke made Su Sijin unable to breathe.

Su Sijin pulled hard, causing Lu Changgong to stagger.

"Ajin, what's wrong? Cough..." Lu Changgong asked in confusion, but the thick smoke made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

He could only see Su Sijin's blurry shadow, and he held her hands tightly.

Su Sijin felt like her hand was about to be crushed by him, "You hurt me, are mother, brother and sister-in-law, and Tingyun safe?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changgong let go, feeling overwhelmed, and coaxed, "Ahem... It's safe, Ah Jin, let's go out quickly. If there's anything, we can talk about it after we get out, okay?"

Are you treating her like a child?

"I have a quicker and faster way to get out."

Without waiting for Lu Changgong to reply, he said, "Xiao Ai, I need to get away from the fire and go to a safe place. I need to stay away from the crowd."

Just when Lu Changgong was confused, his body shook and he left the sea of ​​fire and landed in an open space outside.

Lu Changgong looked at Su Sijin in disbelief, "What...what's going on?"

How could he not be shocked? Even with his lightness skills, he was not sure he could jump out of the sea of ​​fire. However, with just one word from Su Sijin, he got out.

He wouldn't have believed such a magical scene if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But, thinking back, it is not surprising that Su Sijin could empty the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury overnight.

"I'll explain later. Mother will be worried. Tang Peng and Liu Meng should have caught the suspect. I want to see who is the one who wants to roast us alive."

Su Sijin suddenly became irritated. Last time in the cave, she was almost roasted to death. This time the fire was even more fierce than last time.

She was really unhappy about being roasted by the fire again.

Besides, who was that cruel thief who wanted to burn thousands of people alive?

Are the lives of refugees not lives? Do ordinary people, like ants, not deserve to live?

"Who ordered you to set the fire? Who ordered you to burn thousands of people to death?" Liu Meng stepped on the suspect's chest, put the big knife against the suspect's neck, and threatened.

The suspect's eyes rolled around as he argued, "You've been infected with the plague. Only by burning you to death can we avoid implicating innocent people."

"If you are self-aware, you should burn yourselves to save the people of Dawn. Since you are afraid of death, how can I allow you to implicate innocent people?"

The suspect's speech portrayed himself as a good person who was dedicated to serving the people.

Liu Meng has seen all kinds of people, and when the suspect's eyes rolled around, he knew he was not telling the truth.

Liu Meng glared angrily, his hand shook, and his big knife scratched his neck.

However, the suspect insisted that there was no behind-the-scenes plot and that he was just trying to rid the people of harm.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Su Sijin came to the suspect with a cold face, and when he was arrogant and yelling, she threw a pill into his mouth.

"Cough cough..." The suspect tried desperately to clear his throat, trying to spit out what he had eaten.

But even if he vomited out the yellow water, it was still in vain.

"Ahem... you little bitch, what did you give me to eat?" the suspect shouted fearlessly.

Just as he finished speaking, he was kicked out by Lu Changgong and hit a big tree.

"Puff..." The suspect vomited blood.

"Cough..." He covered his chest and coughed continuously, spitting out blood while coughing.

Lu Changgong frowned, wiping his feet on the ground in disgust. Then, the coldness of his body rushed towards the suspect, and he warned him coldly, "If you disrespect her again, I will let you experience the pleasure of wanting to live but not being able to, and wanting to die but not being able to."

His cold voice made the suspect unconsciously cover his chest and move a few times.

Lu Changgong's domineering and protective behavior made Su Sijin's bad mood suddenly become happy and bright.

It feels good to have someone protecting you.

It seems that curing his legs really brought double the reward!

With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, his poisonous sores are almost healed, and his appearance is also up to par, right?

Su Sijin shook her head, shaking off the thoughts in her mind, and said to the suspect, "What you just swallowed is fire poison. In an hour, your body will spontaneously combust, and you will burn to death. Then you will experience the feeling of being scorched by fire."

"You... are lying. There is no such thing as fire poison?" the suspect tried to test him, hoping for luck.

"Whether it's a lie or not, we'll know in an hour. I'm a vindictive person and I believe in giving people a taste of their own medicine, but..."

Su Sijin paused and stopped talking, hanging the suspect and asking him to surrender.

"But what?" The suspect already believed half of it. Why would he choose death when he could live?

Since there is a but, there is naturally room for choice.
