"Brother Sheng, you misunderstood."
Zhan Nanxing gave a serious explanation.
"This is Shen. After I injured my leg, the Xie family called off the engagement."
Zhao Xiaosheng opened his mouth wide, looking at Shen Zhaozhao for a while, then at Zhan Nanxing. After confirming that he had caused a misunderstanding, he quickly bowed to Shen Zhaozhao to apologize.
"It's my fault. I have a preconceived notion."
"It's my fault for mistaking my sister-in-law for someone else."
Shen Zhaozhao didn't care at first, and hurried to comfort him, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't explain it to you in advance."
"Did he call you that before?" Zhan Nanxing asked softly beside Shen Zhaozhao, "Why didn't you explain?"
Shen Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.
Zhan Nanxing's gaze became sharper and her face felt a little hot.
You can't say that life is too boring. I want to see how you, Zhan Nanxing, deal with embarrassment?
"That's right," Shen Zhaozhao ignored Zhan Nanxing and brought up a topic abruptly, "Let's talk about business, County Master Zhao, just now when we went down the mountain, in addition to treating the wounded, some people unfortunately died."
"Yes, I saw it." Zhao Sheng replied in a deep voice, "I will urge the head of the village to arrange for their burial as soon as possible."
Shen Zhaozhao shook his head. "There is another situation. Among the wounded, there is a woman with leprosy, and she has also infected her husband."
This time, Zhao Xiaosheng was really scared.
"I have a special medicine for treating leprosy. I have arranged for them to take it. As long as they recuperate well, there will be no problem."
Shen Zhaozhao continued:
"There are also preventive medicines. Please arrange for the villagers and us exiled people to take them."
Zhao Sheng looked incredulous. "There's no cure for leprosy! If one case is found, the whole village will be sealed off..."
“If you don’t believe in my medical skills, you can arrange for someone to seal Xianyuan Village first, and then unseal it after confirming the efficacy of the medicine.” Shen Zhaozhao didn’t force it.
Zhao Xiaosheng nodded and could only use this method.
"The living are easy to deal with," Shen Zhaozhao looked down the mountain, "the trouble is the corpses, we don't know if any of them are infected."
The person is already dead, there is no need to take medicine.
"Leprosy can be spread through skin contact, so I previously suggested to the head of the village to cremate all the bodies."
Shen Zhaozhao spread his hands helplessly, “The head of the village said it was difficult.”
All she could do was to point out the possible consequences. Whether she could do it or not was up to the head of the village and the county magistrate.
Zhao Xiaosheng was silent for a while.
Finally, he nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to take care of this matter."
Zhao Xiaosheng talked to Zhan Nanxing for a while, and then asked about the specific circumstances of the dragon attack.
"We heard a loud bang at the time." Shen Zhaozhao recalled. In her impression, even if a mudslide occurred, there shouldn't be such a loud noise.
"Could it be thunder in the sky?" Zhao Bosheng frowned and asked.
Shen Zhaozhao shook his head: “No, it’s more like a muffled sound in the ground.”
Zhao Xiaosheng thought for a while, then bowed and said goodbye, "Thank you sister-in-law for telling me. I will take people to take a look upstream later. You two can rest first."
After saying goodbye to Zhao Sheng, Shen Zhaozhao helped Zhan Nanxing return to his family.
The rain had stopped long ago, but the ground was still wet.
There was no need for the tarpaulin, which Huang Juan had carefully kept. Seeing Shen Zhaozhao coming over, she hurriedly helped her spread it on the ground, "Hurry up and take a rest. We will take turns to keep watch tonight."
Shen Zhaozhao was about to say something else but was stopped by Huang Juan.
"This is what the old man meant. He said that you have been busy all day long and asked you to get enough rest."
"Thank grandma for me." Shen Zhaozhao was indeed tired, so she stopped refusing and lay down on the rainproof sheet. She saw Zhan Nanxing standing beside her.
"Together."
There's no reason for her to sleep alone.
Zhan Nanxing hesitated for a moment, and was pulled down by Shen Zhaozhao, right next to her.
Shen Zhaozhao took out a sheet from the space and covered the two of them with it, then leaned against him and closed his eyes to rest.
"Why don't you explain it clearly to Zhao Sheng?" In a daze, Zhan Nanxing's breathing was right beside his ear.
Shen Zhaozhao knew that he was talking about Zhao Sheng mistaking her for Miss Xie.
She closed her eyes, her sleepy mind a mess, and hummed softly, "Miss Xie is talented, it's better if people misunderstand her, so that you can save face."
Suddenly, there was a flick on my forehead.
Shen Zhaozhao had to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he met Zhan Nanxing's serious gaze.
"Zhao Zhao, I'll say it only once."
"Since you have decided to marry me and stay in the Zhan family, I will treat you as my wife."
"I may be... useless, but I will do my best to love and respect you, and I don't think your talents are any less than others."
"If someone misjudges you in the future, you should explain it clearly."
“You are Shen Zhaozhao, not someone else.”
The peach blossom eyes should be full of affection, but suddenly they became serious, and Shen Zhaozhao was actually a little scared.
Afraid that he would be serious.
"I know."
She pulled the sheet over her head.
The sleepiness was swept away.
Everything was dark before my eyes, and my mind was still thinking about what he had just said.
Sometimes, such a rigid and serious man can give you a sense of security.
Shen Zhaozhao was thinking about something and didn't know when she fell asleep. She only vaguely felt someone pulling down the sheet covering her head.
And whispered:
"Don't keep yourself depressed."
In my sleep, I smile.
When she woke up again, it was already bright outside and she heard someone talking next to her.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't open his eyes and listened silently.
It was Zhao 놂sheng who was telling Zhan Nanxing about what he had done when he went up the mountain to check last night.
"Brother Nanxing, I have to tell you about this first..." Before Zhao Bosheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhan Nanxing's "hush".
"Don't disturb her."
Afterwards, Shen Zhaozhao's ears that were raised to eavesdrop were covered by Zhan Nanxing.
Shen Zhaozhao had no choice but to arrange to stay awake and listen.
"I'm awake."
Zhan Nanxing turned around and saw Shen Zhaozhao looking at him dryly. He immediately withdrew his hand and cleared his throat to cover up.
The ears were unnaturally red.
"Then can I tell you?" Zhao Xiaosheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. What he found on the mountain last night really made him restless.
He urgently needs someone he can trust to give him some advice and calm him down.
"Master Zhao, please speak." Shen Zhaozhao sat up.
They all sleep in their clothes in the wild, so there is no need to be shy about anything.
"Brother Nanxing, my sister-in-law, when I mentioned the loud noise yesterday, I felt something was wrong," Zhao Wangsheng said hurriedly.
"So I asked the village head, and it turned out that there was a stream flowing down from the mountain here. In the previous dynasty, an earthquake caused a landslide in the upper reaches, blocking the stream and forming the 깊 barrier lake."
"I went to check, but the barrier lake was gone. The scattered gravel showed traces of gunpowder. It should be the rocks that blocked the stream that were blown apart. That's the muffled sound you heard."
Zhao Xiaosheng said a lot in one breath, and finally, he came to a conclusion with difficulty.
"This dragon attack was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
