Obviously, the restlessness in her body had subsided, but for some reason, the moment she opened the door and met Xiao Yuqi's gaze, Su Jianyue still felt her face getting hot.
Fortunately, the veil covered it, which gave Su Jianyue some psychological comfort.
Xiao Yuqi didn't tease her either.
He stretched out his hand towards Su Jianyue.
Su Jianyue was still hesitating whether to extend her hand for him to shake.
Xiao Yuqi took the box from her hands before her.
Su Jianyue: “…”
Xiao Yuqi turned and walked forward.
A faint smile drifted into Su Jianyue's ears with the wind.
Su Jianyue stamped her feet.
...
...
He almost bit his lips before he jogged to catch up with Xiao Yuqi.
If this were at home, Su Jianyue would have to bite this man hard a few times before she could vent her anger.
How can it be so funny?
The thought of being completely controlled by an ancient person makes me feel shocked.
Su Jianyue could only secretly curse herself for not living up to her expectations.
A carriage was arranged outside the door.
A soldier lay prostrate on the ground, acting as a horse stool.
Waiting for Su Jianyue to get in the car.
Stepping on someone else's back to get on the carriage?
How could Su Jianyue put her feet down?
Xiao Yuqi saw her dilemma.
Take two steps back and lean over.
His tall figure, because of his movements, was level with Su Jianyue.
"Hold tight!"
"Um?"
Before Su Jianyue could react, Xiao Yuqi pulled her hand and hooked it around his neck.
Then, his long arm reached through her knees and grabbed them.
"ah!"
Su Jianyue exclaimed.
The whole person was picked up by Xiao Yuqi.
Xiao Yuqi's other hand was still holding the box.
then.
Xiao Yuqi took two steps forward.
Put Su Jianyue on the carriage.
Wang Dazhi, who had originally thought about letting Goddess of Mercy step on him twice to bring him more blessings: "..."
He spent two taels of silver to exchange for this position from others!
Woo woo woo!
His huge pile of money!
Su Jianyue got into the car in a daze.
The people waiting beside the carriage lowered their eyes respectfully, and no one dared to look at it any longer.
They only knew that His Majesty had asked Bodhisattva Guanyin to come out of seclusion again.
The people are saved!
Xiao Yuqi rode his horse parallel to the carriage.
Passersby on the road were walking in groups of two or three. Seeing this, they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Although the city is deserted, it is peaceful.
After several days of disaster relief, people in the city have begun to return to normal life.
Without water to irrigate the fields, they put all their efforts into digging groundwater.
Help officers and soldiers distribute food and transport supplies.
The elderly, the weak, women and children who were powerless were also not idle.
There are many poor homeless people in the city.
They organized people and settled those who were more pitiful than themselves.
Slowly.
There were countless people helping the soldiers mend their clothes, sewing soles for shoes and socks, and making simple masks in accordance with the latest epidemic prevention notices.
From birth to death, and then to hope.
Just a few days.
They seemed to have lived through half a lifetime.
Everyone is doing what they can.
Even three-year-old children spontaneously formed groups, collected firewood from everywhere, and carried bundles of firewood to the place where relief food was cooked.
Yes.
Inside and outside the city.
Separated by a wall.
It was like splitting the same sky into two worlds.
Some people's behavior was completely out of control and they were forcibly isolated in a solitary place.
However, some people experienced general weakness, convulsions, difficulty breathing, and some even fell into a coma.
Compared to those who already have symptoms.
Those who are not sick are even more panicked.
Everyone is afraid that they will be the next to fall.
However, they could only be forced to live in one dilapidated wooden house or thatched hut after another.
Even leaving has become a luxury.
"Why are you keeping us here?"
"Are we going to die?"
"We're not sick, why don't you let us go?"
"What are your intentions? We need to leave here. I don't want to die, and I don't want to stay here and wait for death!"
"Let us out."
"Yes, let us out."
"Why aren't you letting us into the city? Everyone else can go in, why not us?"
The fierce sound of resistance was like a clarion call before a war.
One person starts.
Following closely was the support of countless people.
The carriage had just left the city and had been driving for a while when Su Jianyue heard mournful cries, angry shouts, and the forceful suppression and stern rebukes of officers and soldiers.
Su Jianyue lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the withered and yellow scenery.
Black crows were circling overhead, letting out bursts of mournful cries.
The air was terribly stuffy.
I don’t know if it’s because the sun is too strong today or for some other reason.
Su Jianyue did not notice the slightest bit of autumn coolness.
She let down the curtain and held the handles of the suitcase tightly with both hands.
The empty land was originally planted with crops by the people.
Nowadays, all the dead seedlings have been removed, and rows of simple houses are surrounded by high bamboo fences.
There were many soldiers guarding the fence on all sides.
This place has become a semi-large town.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
There was a moment of silence within the noisy fence.
Su Jianyue followed behind Xiao Yuqi.
There are people protecting you from all sides to ensure your safety as much as possible.
In a row of medicine huts outside the courtyard, the medicine jars on the clay stoves made gurgling sounds as the medicine boiled.
The air was filled with a strong aroma of medicine.
"What's the commotion?"
Xiao Yuqi's face didn't look very good.
Everyone here wears a mask.
I couldn't see the expressions on their faces.
But I could clearly feel the anger bursting out of them.
They broke through the door of the wooden house where they lived and tried to rush out of the place with bare hands.
Xiao Yuqi arrived at a very opportune moment and just happened to stop the riot from happening.
The submission ingrained in their bones made everyone's first reaction upon seeing the emperor to kneel down.
They are not evil-minded people who are looking for trouble.
I just can't understand your majesty's decision-making and the court's approach.
They fear death.
Watching the people around me fall one by one.
It was extreme torture, and they were horrified at what they saw with their own eyes.
And collapsed in the illusion of what he heard.
Running away is human instinct.
When it comes to the unknown, fear always outweighs expectation.
"Your Majesty, please let us go!"
Before He Yanzhi, who was in charge of guarding the place, could speak, the people started to speak.
The long and narrow corridor was filled with people kneeling densely.
They are all still healthy.
I'm just worried day and night.
The psychological torture is worse than that of the patient.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please, let us leave here and make a living on our own!"
"You're trapping people here without saying anything. What's the point? Watching people get sick and get dragged away every day. Do you want us all to die here?"
In life, some people are humble, some are sharp.
A cacophony of conversations was heard, and no matter what tone or attitude they used, their only purpose was to get Xiao Yuqi to let them go.
