Chapter 320 Plague
A few young Taoist priests were hurrying past her. Jiang Ran quickly grabbed one of them and asked, "How did a fire suddenly start?"
The young Taoist priest stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed softly, "I don't know, maybe it's because of the dry weather and flooding."
Then he nodded slightly to Jiang Ran and said apologetically, "Benefactor, I still need to go help in the back. Please go ahead."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to watch his departing figure, then looked at the surroundings before her. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
The Taoist temple is still managed in the same way as before, including the use of candles instead of electric appliances, and everything follows the ancient methods.
Therefore, preventing fires has always been their primary focus. How could something that hadn't happened in decades happen at this time?
Jiang Ran felt a surge of doubt, her gaze darkening as she pondered a myriad of thoughts.
With the plan proceeding smoothly, Bai Zhuwei went to consult a master for the next step.
The master stated that in addition to destroying her vessel, he also needed to put an end to Jiang Ran's way of doing good deeds.
She now runs an orphanage, and will undoubtedly use some tactics to achieve this.
The master's gaze darkened, and he said in a low voice, "As for this, leave it to me. However, this goes against the natural order, and I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, he paused slightly, lowered his eyes to look at Bai Zhuwei, and his expression was ambiguous.
Bai Zhuwei immediately understood and replied, "Don't worry, money is not a problem. As long as you can handle things well, I will transfer the money to your account as agreed."
"Alright." The master smiled slightly, then handed her a talisman and said in a deep voice, "Find a way to put this talisman in the northwest corner of the orphanage, and leave the rest to me."
"Okay." Bai Zhuwei nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice.
Then he turned and left, driving to the orphanage. Considering there must be cameras inside, he made sure to cover himself up tightly and avoided the crowds as he walked inside.
It might be difficult to place it on a specific person, but it's quite easy to bury it underground in the northwest corner.
After finishing these tasks, Bai Zhuwei got up and left. Just as she turned the corner, she saw a boy walk out of the room, and the two looked at each other.
The boy's eyes turned cold, and he demanded sharply, "Who are you?"
Bai Zhuwei was about to leave when she saw him suddenly ask a question. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect a child to care so much. She thought he would only treat her as a stranger.
He then casually replied, "The workers here."
"You're not." But Cheng Zhi immediately saw through her: "I've never seen you before."
Seeing that he was very wary and worried that he might reveal it and arouse Jiang Ran's suspicion, Bai Zhuwei immediately spoke up to explain, "You need to plant saplings here, so I came here specifically to see if the soil is suitable for cultivation."
He then stretched out his hands and saw that they were still a bit muddy. Cheng Zhi's expression softened slightly, and he showed a look of half-belief and half-doubt. Then, he pursed his lips and did not press the matter any further. He turned around and left.
Seeing him turn and leave, Bai Zhuwei couldn't help but sigh. She was still shaken to think that she had almost been targeted by such a small child and had her plan exposed.
Jiang Ran's daily routine was originally set, with everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
Unexpectedly, danger struck suddenly. The children in the orphanage began to fall ill one after another, starting with colds and gradually developing into persistent high fevers. Moreover, it wasn't just a few individuals, but rather a large-scale outbreak.
Just like with the flu, after learning the news, Jiang Ran used Si Yanxiao's connections to send the child to a hospital to be cared for by a specialist.
However, the illness showed no signs of abating. These symptoms were somewhat similar to those of the evil magic that had previously possessed him. He frowned slightly, and a chill flashed across his face.
He quickly turned back to the orphanage, only to see a wisp of black mist permeating the air above, invisible to ordinary people, due to the virus, which affected the energy field of the entire place.
He then went to the room, took out the divination coins and talismans, and began to draw talismans and perform divination.
During the divination process, I suddenly felt my mind open up, and spiritual energy poured in instantly, giving me a feeling of enlightenment.
Jiang Ran closed her eyes tightly, quietly sensing all the external forces and the changes within herself.
A quarter of an hour later, as Jiang Ran inhaled and exhaled, the spiritual energy around her returned to a stable state, and she could clearly feel that her abilities had improved significantly compared to before.
He then slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise. She had been stuck at the limit without making any progress, but now it became an opportunity to help her break through.
His spiritual energy became increasingly solidified, and he turned his head to look at the matter at hand. He saw that the divination indicated that there were difficulties and obstacles ahead, which was not a good omen.
I'm afraid this isn't just a common flu; it might actually be spreading from person to person.
Jiang Ran's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a cold glint flashed across her face before she could implement any countermeasures.
Soon, the symptoms spread throughout the city, and all hospitals were overcrowded, with even hospital beds in extremely short supply.
Hospital experts initially believe this is a plague, which explains its unexpectedly widespread and rapid spread.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ran couldn't help but pay more attention, since the origin point started from the orphanage, and it must be related to this place as well.
Jiang Ran's eyes darkened. In order to take care of the child, she went to the hospital to volunteer and help out.
She can now not only observe the stars and divine the future, but also predict the direction of the terrain and even secretly manipulate feng shui.
She then secretly manipulated the feng shui to improve the oppressive and stagnant atmosphere around her. When the doctors in the hospital were at a loss, she proposed preventative strategies and treatment plans.
However, since the incident happened suddenly, even treatment is only a temporary measure and does not address the root cause.
Jiang Ran spent all her time in the hospital, busy as a bee, and became a leader among the staff. When Si Zuochen and Si Youlin arrived, they saw Jiang Ran engrossed in treating patients and giving instructions to the nurses.
Although she didn't have a medical license, no one dared to doubt her professionalism.
Just as he was about to check on the next person, his gaze swept across the room and he saw Si Zuochen and Si Youlin standing outside the door, staring blankly into the room.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran was startled and immediately instructed the nurse beside her, "Go down and prepare the medicine for this patient."
"Okay," the nurse nodded slightly and replied in a low voice.
Seeing her leave, Jiang Ran walked straight towards the twins, then frowned and asked coldly, "Didn't we agree that you should stay at home and not go out unnecessarily because of the recent plague?"
As he spoke, his tone was full of anxiety, and he was somewhat annoyed by their refusal to listen to advice.
Seeing Jiang Ran's anger, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin knew they were in the wrong and immediately lowered their heads.
Seeing that they didn't object, Jiang Ran directly ordered, "Where's the driver? Quickly have him take you back!"
"I have other things to take care of, so I can't see you off for now."
After saying that, he gently pushed her and prepared to turn and leave.
As soon as they turned around, they heard Si Zuochen's voice of defense behind them: "We didn't come here to watch the show, we want to help too!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran paused slightly, then turned her head to look at the two people staring at her with serious expressions.
Jiang Ran glanced at the two of them, then pursed her lips and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
"Confirmed!" The two nodded vigorously and replied in unison.
Seeing this, a hint of pride flashed in Jiang Ran's eyes, but she still didn't forget to warn him in a cold voice: "But there are some things I need to explain to you beforehand."
"The situation is urgent now, and no one can guarantee that they are definitely not wrong. We must take good protective measures and never take chances. Moreover, the work here is tedious and tedious, and it will be very hard."
"It's okay, we can do it!" Si Zuochen listened to her advice, his eyes darkening slightly, but he still answered firmly.
Si Youlin nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, a hint of emotion flashing across her face, and then replied in a low voice, "Okay."
Then he slightly waved to a passerby, who quickly approached and respectfully asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Ran's gaze darkened slightly as she slowly instructed, "Take the two of them to the logistics department to assist with the work and distribute some protective equipment."
