Chapter 677: Onset
In the carriage, Xu Miaomiao was leaning on her hands in a daze, while Dabao was resting with his eyes closed.
Li Yi said irritably: "These people really don't know what's good for them. We are obviously helping them, but they still say this. It's really unreasonable."
"Okay, don't be angry. Now that the mystery has been solved, there is nothing we can do if they don't believe it. So don't be angry about it."
"I'm just angry that they can't tell good from bad. We are clearly helping them, but they still say this about us. It's really stupid."
Listening to Li Yi's complaints, Xu Miaomiao smiled and didn't say anything else.
Xuguo, who was standing next to him, also smiled when he heard this: "If you stay in a place for a long time, you will naturally be assimilated into the culture there, and naturally think that these things are very normal. You want to break the beliefs they have believed in for so long, but it is naturally impossible."
After hearing these words, Xuguo did not speak, and Li Yi also lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered the mansion, it was very quiet.
Although they did come back in the middle of the night, usually at this time no matter who else was there, as long as Gu Yuanniang was there, she would definitely come out to pick her up. Looking at the deserted courtyard, she was still a little curious.
"Why is Wang Guan's family not here anymore?"
Xuguo noticed something was wrong first and spoke up immediately.
Go check out the backyard.
Everyone immediately came to the backyard and saw their brother. Lan Yin immediately ran over, took Xuguo's hand and called him brother. Then he looked at Li Yi next to him and said, "Pretty little brother, long time no see."
When Li Yi was called by Lan Yin, a blush quickly crept up his cheeks. He was too embarrassed to look at the person in front of him and just lowered his head.
Xu Miaomiao didn't have the mind to care about anything else. She just looked at the people busying around in front of her and the smoke rising from the kitchen.
Gu Yuanniang and everyone else had square scarves on their faces as they walked in and out of the house.
When she saw Xu Miaomiao, Gu Yuanniang immediately came over and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, you're back. Hurry up and take your handkerchief with you."
Xu Miaomiao reached out and looked around the room, then asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. Qingshan said he was going to the academy to pack up his things that day, and he became like this after he came back. Even Nian Miao is the same. Not only us, but many people in Bai County are like this."
"What's it like?" Xuguo stepped forward and asked.
"Difficulty breathing, coughing, and multiple skin ulcers on the body."
"It's a plague."
Xuguo spoke immediately.
Gu Yuanniang shook her head and said, "I have seen the plague before, but this disease is probably even more terrible than the plague. It spreads too quickly and is even more severe. However, Qingshan has been bedridden for a day and cannot get up."
After hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Xu Miaomiao was full of worry. She looked at Gu Yuanniang, walked in immediately, and started to take Xu Qingshan's pulse.
"Sixth Lady, didn't Mr. Xu take the medicine earlier?"
Xu Miaomiao only told this matter to Gu Yuanniang and Song Wushao, and they were the only two who kept the matter a secret.
Gu Yuanniang shook her head and said, "I asked him before, but he didn't take it seriously. He lost the pill and didn't take it. Nian Miao was too young and refused to take it."
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while, looked at the weak person on the bed, and opened her purse, took out the contents, handed them to Gu Yuanniang, and said, "These are the last two. Feed them first."
"No, Miaomiao, if they eat it all, how can we develop an antidote?"
Gu Yuanniang immediately spoke and stared at Xu Miaomiao seriously.
Xu Miaomiao also shook her head: "This plague is different from the previous ones. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be really dangerous. The poison this time is not so easy to solve, so we must give them the medicine first, and let them eat it first to save their lives."
Gu Yuanniang was a little hesitant. They were her children and husband, so of course she cared more about them than anyone else. But looking at the only two antidotes left in front of her and so many people waiting outside, Gu Yuanniang still hesitated.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao could only speak first: "Didn't we leave behind a lot of herbs that can control this disease? Although it can't be cured completely, it can still control the condition."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang could only nod hesitantly. If something really happened to Xu Qingshan and Xu Nianmiao, she would probably really blame herself. Seeing that she didn't continue speaking, Xu Miaomiao immediately gave the pills in her hand to them both. The most important thing was to hug them and comfort them.
At this time, Xu Qingshan found it easy to feed the baby, but it was not the same for Xu Nianmiao. It was already difficult and uncomfortable for him, and he had to eat these things. Xu Nianmiao kept crying.
"What should I do? I still can't feed Nian Miao's medicine."
Gu Yuanniang ran around anxiously, and Xu Miaomiao immediately calmed her down, holding the medicine in one hand and holding Xu Nianmiao's mouth with the other hand. This time Xu Nianmiao did not spit it out, but swallowed it instead.
Gu Yuanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine after you eat it, it's fine after you eat it."
Seeing that the child in her arms had calmed down, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just see if this antidote works."
Xu Miaomiao muttered to herself, and her words were heard by Gu Yuanniang who was standing next to her. She immediately said, "Since this thing was given to you by that person, I think it must be very reliable."
"Don't say that, Liu Niang." Xu Miaomiao immediately looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that we have no relationship with him. Even if he sympathizes with us and gives us these things out of kindness, he didn't poison us, so who knows what else is inside? And we must not let others know that we have this medicine, and we must not let others know that we have any relationship with him."
"I understand." Gu Yuanniang immediately nodded at Xu Miaomiao. The most important thing is to protect yourself. You must protect yourself first. This is the first priority. Not to mention her, there are so many people in the mansion, big and small, who must be protected.
"I have already fed you the antidote today. We will see tomorrow. Liu Niang, you have been working hard for a long time today. You should go and rest first. I will watch over you here."
Gu Yuanniang nodded, and handed Xu Nianmiao in her arms to Xu Miaomiao, only then did she feel relieved.
There were not many people in the mansion. Firstly, Xu Miaomiao liked quietness, and secondly, the house was not big, so apart from a few necessary servants, the kitchen staff and two maids, there were not many people. It was also convenient to manage, so Xu Miaomiao did not think much about it.
Xu Nianmiao, who was holding himself, looked at Xu Nianmiao next to him worriedly.
