Chapter 87 Shen Xiangwan's speculation and worries
"It hurts, it hurts...Sister-in-law, I was wrong...Please forgive me..."
Wei Chenghe was shouting and screaming in pain without caring about his image. Not to mention Shen Xiangwan, even Wei Chengyi who was driving outside felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, it won't hurt soon."
Giving him a look of disdain, Shen Xiangwan put away the syringe, and waited for a while before picking up the needle again.
"Hey, it really doesn't hurt anymore."
He could clearly feel the needle piercing his flesh, but there was no pain. Wei Chenghe couldn't help but look surprised. But Wei Ling'er on the opposite side, when she saw how Shen Xiangwan sutured the wound, she felt her scalp tingling and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
"alright."
His wound was not big, and Shen Xiangwan sewed it up quickly. After putting away her things, she took out a brand new syringe, sucked in a bottle of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, pulled Wei Chenghe's hand and injected it into his body.
“Is this medicine?”
It didn't hurt this time, Wei Chenghe asked like a curious baby.
"Yes, it's used for anti-inflammatory and pain relief."
Shen Xiangwan had no intention of explaining in detail. After the injection, he covered his wound with gauze, and that was the end of it.
"Aunt, hug me."
Knowing that she was done, the little cub, who had been holding back for a long time, reached out to her.
"Okay, okay, give me a hug."
A smile instantly appeared on Shen Xiangwan's face. He picked him up and got out of the car. He sat on the frame, took out a box of milk, put a straw in it and handed it to him.
"Thank you, auntie."
Holding the milk, the little cub thanked him obediently and started drinking it with a straw.
Rubbing his head lovingly, Shen Xiangwan let him sit on her lap with his back against her, and glanced at Qingying and others following the donkey cart: "They just followed us like this?"
"Um."
Wei Chengyi nodded: "Today's bandits are all disguised as Dragon Shadow Guards, and the leader is a half-step master. The emperor really wants to kill us all. We are far enough away from the imperial city, so there is no need to hide anymore."
The survivors they left behind earlier committed suicide by biting the poison sac in their mouths without paying attention. However, they had sachets used exclusively by the Dragon Shadow Guards on them, so their identities were basically confirmed. That was why he divided the guards into two teams, one to follow them and the other to continue protecting them secretly. The emperor had completely broken off relations with them, so he would not foolishly wait to be beaten.
"The dog emperor."
Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but spit: "Okay, you can arrange these things."
Today's ambush came too suddenly and caught them off guard. They need to be more careful next time.
"Um."
The two men chatted while driving the donkey cart. From time to time, the little cub would interrupt in a baby voice. Time passed very quickly. As the sky grew darker, the team entered Chengjiang County and was heading towards the county seat. Along the way, there were homeless refugees everywhere. They were ragged and haggard. As soon as they saw people, no matter whether the other person was rich or not, they would immediately rush up to ask for money.
If their team had not been accompanied by soldiers, they would probably have become the target of beggars.
It has been nearly ten days since the earth dragon turned over, and they have passed through many counties. Chengjiang County is the last county in Binzhou, but except for Tianhe County at the beginning, almost no officials in the county care about the lives of the refugees, let alone disaster relief. Those who have a little conscience at most do not stop the refugees from entering the city to beg.
Shen Xiangwan is not a saint, but she is a living person. Seeing this situation, how could she remain indifferent?
Unfortunately, she can't do anything now.
Exhaling deeply, Shen Xiangwan raised his head and looked into the distance, his pupils suddenly shrank: "What is that?"
"...corpse."
Looking in the direction of her finger, Wei Chengyi's face was ashen and his voice was a little tense. Chengjiang County, like Weiyang County, was hit by floods when the earth dragon turned over, but the government did nothing. On the muddy river not far away, there were corpses floating one after another, some of poultry and some of humans, which was shocking to see.
"Dog officer!"
After making sure that he was not mistaken, Shen Xiangwan could not help but curse. After any major disaster, there would usually be an epidemic. Especially when corpses were left exposed in the wilderness or rivers, it would easily induce a large-scale plague, and more people would probably die at that time.
"Don't be upset, they're not worth it!"
Reaching out and holding her hand, Wei Chengyi soothed her in a deep voice. He could clearly feel her anger.
"I, forget it."
Turning her head to look at him, Shen Xiangwan closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She shouldn't have expected anything from these local officials.
The closer the team got to the county town, the more refugees there were on both sides of the road. After realizing the problem of the plague, Shen Xiangwan had been secretly observing their complexions and found that many people seemed to be infected with the disease. Some of them coughed very badly and were almost out of breath. It was obvious that they had the initial reaction of the plague, and her complexion became more and more gloomy.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Chengyi keenly noticed that something was wrong with her and asked worriedly.
"No, it's just..."
Shaking his head, Shen Xiangwan briefly told Wei Chengyi his guesses and worries. Wei Chengyi's face turned ugly because of this. Plague is no joke. It will easily lead to mountains of corpses. If it really breaks out, Binzhou, and even the neighboring Quanzhou and Taizhou will probably be involved. By then, the number of deaths will be countless times more than it is now.
"Um···"
"Mom, are you awake?"
Just as the two of them were silent, Wei Chenghe and his sister exclaimed in the carriage. Shen Xiangwan immediately picked up the little cub and turned around: "I'll go take a look."
As she spoke, she had already entered the carriage.
"Qingying, find a way to inform the county magistrate that the bodies in the river are likely to cause plague, and spread the word in the county so that the wealthy families can force the government to collect the bodies."
Looking up at the sky that was gradually shrouded in darkness, Wei Chengyi ordered in a deep voice that no matter whether this move was effective or not, they had to give it a try.
"yes."
Qingying, who was following the donkey cart, bowed and accepted the order. He had also heard what the princess had said before. Any normal person would not remain indifferent if he knew that a plague was going to spread.
At the same time, inside the carriage.
“Ugh…it hurts…”
Zhao Yuping, who was lying in the carriage, couldn't help but start to cry out in pain before she opened her eyes. Shen Xiangwan stuffed the little cub to Wei Ling'er, squatted down and took her hand to feel her pulse. After a moment, he smiled with relief and said, "It's okay. The effect of the Ma Fei Powder has worn off. It's inevitable that the wound will start to hurt. It will be healed in a few days."
"real?"
Wei Chenghe and his sister blurted out in surprise, "Is their mother really fine now?"
