Almost every shop was closed, and even if some were open, there were few people.
There were no people shopping or sightseeing on the streets, only people holding their children and crying for doctors.
The joy disappeared from everyone's face, and the bustling capital city no longer existed.
If the emperor's feet are in such a state, one can imagine how miserable other cities are now.
They had no idea what was happening, nor did they know why God had sent such great suffering upon them.
Many people didn't even know who Ruan Hezhu was, but they were going to be buried with her.
They are just insignificant people in this world, and even the world they live in is just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of these gods.
No one cares about their demise, and no one cares about what they have been through.
But obviously, they did nothing wrong.
"Mom, I want to go downstairs for a walk."
Jiang Qingwan looked outside and said that she wanted to take a good look at the capital and the world.
"good."
Yu Shulan carried her out of the carriage and wanted to carry her away, but Jiang Qingwan insisted on walking by herself.
"Doctor, please give me some medicine. My child is dying."
"Please."
When I walked to the side of the pharmacy, I saw a woman holding a child of four or five years old, kowtowing to the shop owner continuously.
The boss said helplessly, "This medicine has been sold out a long time ago, where can I get it?"
"There's no medicine left in the entire capital now. Even if you die here, it's useless."
After hearing what the boss said, the woman looked up to the sky and cried helplessly, "Oh my God, you are leaving us to die."
Even if the medicine is not very effective, there is always hope. Now that even the medicine is gone, they don’t even have a glimmer of hope.
Looking at the woman's bleeding forehead and her helpless and desperate appearance, Jiang Qingwan couldn't help but want to step forward to take a look, but was stopped by Yu Shulan.
She shook her head gently at Jiang Qingwan.
If Jiang Qingwan had rescued the child, she would probably not have been able to walk out of the street alive.
Jiang Qingwan understood what she meant, stopped, turned around and continued walking forward.
Along the way, there were many people as desperate as that woman.
If this situation continues, I'm afraid that few children will be alive within a month.
From children, to young people, and finally to the elderly, what a cruel way to die.
There is nothing more painful than seeing the young die before the old. It is the law of nature to destroy everyone's hope bit by bit.
Suddenly, Jiang Qingwan saw a girl of seven or eight years old sitting on the side of the road. Her face was flushed and her eyes were a little blurry. She was obviously sick.
But she mustered her will, picked up a branch from the ground, and stabbed it into her arm with force.
This action not only shocked Jiang Qingwan, but also frightened Yu Shulan.
She hurried forward, took out a handkerchief and bandaged the child's wound.
"What are you doing?"
The child said lightly, "I'm afraid I'll faint. I'll wake up after a shot."
As she spoke, she lifted up her sleeves, revealing that her left arm was covered with wounds, some of which had already scabbed over, while others were still bleeding.
"As long as I stay awake, I won't die."
"How...many days have you been here?" Yu Shulan asked with concern, trying hard to hold back her tears.
"It's been four days." The girl said with some pride. Generally, people will die after being sick for three days, but the girl has been awake for four days, which shows how strong her willpower is.
"But it can't always be like this, right?"
Yu Shulan said in a trembling voice that it would be better to die and be done with it all than to live like this.
The girl lowered her head and said helplessly, "But I can't die. If I die, there will be no one to take care of grandma."
"Where are your parents?"
"My mother and father died two years ago. My grandmother and I have been living alone. But my grandmother's leg is injured and she can't walk. If I die, she will not survive either."
She had always been strong, but at this moment she shed tears. She was afraid that she would die, but she was even more afraid that after her death, no one would take care of her grandmother.
Therefore, no matter how painful it is, she must live.
"Good boy."
Yu Shulan couldn't help but shed tears, because it was so unfair for such a despicable person like Ruan Hezhu to torture the child like this.
If she had known this would happen, she would have imprisoned Ruan Hezhu and let her live until old age.
But now everything is a foregone conclusion and no one can change it.
Jiang Qingwan walked up to the child and handed her a pill, "Take it."
Yu Shulan was about to speak out to stop him, but when she saw the scars all over the child's body, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
The girl glanced at Jiang Qingwan and swallowed the pill without any hesitation.
In less than a moment, the girl's complexion returned to normal, and even the wounds on her body healed.
"this…"
The girl was very surprised and was about to stand up to thank him, but after glancing around, she immediately lowered her head.
Then he pretended to be sick and weak, "Thank you, I have to go back to take care of grandma."
"good."
Yu Shulan was relieved to see that she was a smart child.
After the child left, Yu Shulan said worriedly.
"Wanwan, let's go back."
There are many pitiful people like this. If she goes on, she is afraid that she will be soft-hearted, and she is also afraid that Jiang Qingwan will be soft-hearted.
"Let's take the carriage. I want to tour the capital."
Jiang Qingwan came out today just to look around, so how could he go back easily?
She wanted to know what kind of destruction this world had become.
The two walked outside for an entire afternoon and saw parents wailing in pain and wanting to commit suicide because of their child's death.
I saw parents praying helplessly to God to save their children.
There are also those lives that were still alive one second ago, but lost their vitality the next second.
Life is so fragile. They don’t even have the chance to take a good look at the world.
When he returned to the general's mansion, he saw people kneeling outside the mansion.
Guo Muhuai's face was pale, and he was using all his strength to save people.
Guo Muhuai, a mortal who had just started practicing, was like this, but as a goddess, she wanted to evade this responsibility.
At this moment, Jiang Qingwan felt that she was not worthy of being a god.
"Huai'er..."
Suddenly, Princess Xuanyang's shrill cry resounded throughout the general's mansion.
Guo Muhuai was seen spitting blood and staggering.
Even so, he was surrounded by those people, trying to keep him going.
Even if I die, I will save their children first.
They were cruel, but they just wanted to save their children.
Princess Xuanyang supported Guo Muhuai and wanted him to go back and rest, but she couldn't walk out at all. She could only helplessly beg everyone to let her child rest first.
But she couldn't get out no matter what. The Jiang family wanted to pull those people away, but they were willing to sacrifice their lives for their children.
