Chapter 85: Black Death
Chef Miao shook his head stiffly, "No, I have to wait for Fangniang's illness to be cured..."
Shen Tingyu interrupted him with a faint smile, "If you don't tell me, how can I know whether the news about the holy object you mentioned is true? What if you are lying to us?"
She patted the coin box, and the silver inside it shook and made a jingling sound.
"Look, our sincerity is here, but where is your sincerity?"
"You can open it and take a look."
Chef Miao opened the money box in his arms, his eyes widened in shock, he took out a silver ingot, put it to his mouth and bit it, his eyes dull as if he was dreaming.
"A lot of silver."
He had never seen so much silver.
Xin Hongying snorted coldly at the right time, staring at him with sharp eyes.
"If you tell me, I will immediately ask the best doctor to treat Fangniang. It won't take long."
"If you don't tell me, it will cost Fangniang her life."
"Will you choose Wu Nixiang or Fang Niang? Think about it carefully."
Chef Miao's eyes were a little evasive and he closed his eyes tightly.
The image of Fang Niang coughing up blood and smiling miserably to comfort him appeared before his eyes, as well as his mother's angry instructions before her death. The two were intertwined and the voices and appearances overlapped.
His breathing grew heavier as the memories continued to erode.
"Fang Niang, Fang Niang..., I choose Fang Niang, I tell you."
Chef Miao opened his eyes, tears welling up in them. He seemed to have made a big decision, and said with a determined heart, "It's on Partridge Mountain."
Chef Miao grabbed Xin Hongying's hand and stared at him with red eyes: "You must call a doctor first. Fang Niang can't wait, and I'm the only one who knows that place."
Xin Hongying stared at him with a cold gaze, and Chef Miao timidly withdrew his arm.
Three people were squeezed into a carriage. Shen Tingyu and Xin Hongying sat on one side, and Chef Miao sat next to them.
The six eyes met, staring at each other, and Shen Tingyu kindly reminded him: "Your carriage is behind."
Chef Miao held the money box and said, "One carriage is enough. I can squeeze in with you guys and save some money on medicine."
Xin Hongying frowned and said coldly, "I need you to save money on medicine for me? Go away."
Chef Miao left with the money box.
Feeling like something was missing, Xin Hongying smiled and said, "When did I get a sister?"
Shen Tingyu sat upright and curled her lips: "I have cultivated to become an immortal, and I have lived enough years to be your great-aunt. You are younger than me, so you are naturally my younger brother."
Xin Hongying narrowed his eyes. The appearance of the rag doll was too confusing. He often forgot her age and really protected her as a weak doll.
Soon the carriage stopped.
"Fang Niang, I have invited back the best doctor Yan in Yunzhou City." Chef Miao rushed in from the rain, holding the money box.
Xin Hongying lifted the carriage curtain, opened the green oil-paper umbrella, leaned forward slightly, and held out his bony hand to her: "Let's go."
Shen Tingyu supported his big hand and slowly got down from the carriage.
The umbrella was not big, but it provided her with a small world that shielded her from all the wind and rain, making her feel warm in her heart.
Miss Bai Feng stood under the eaves and saw such a beautiful scene of a handsome man and a beautiful woman holding an umbrella together. Her eyes were completely attracted by the woman under the umbrella.
The woman was wearing a deep blue dress, which was particularly pleasing to the eye in the gloomy rain. She looked quiet and cool, as if she had walked out of a painting.
"Girl, who are you?" Miss Bai Feng changed her usual cold reaction, narrowed her narrow eyes into a smile, and took the initiative to step forward to talk to her, with admiration in her eyes.
Miss Yi Han glanced quickly at her sister with a doubtful expression.
Shen Tingyu smiled lightly, happily taking advantage of Xin Hongying: “My last name is Kang, and I’m his sister.”
"So you are siblings." Miss Bai Feng's eyes brightened.
Xin Hongying felt that Miss Bai Feng’s eyes were a little weird, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her heart. She put half of her shoulder in front of Shen Tingyu, blocking her burning sight.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Miss Bai Feng was only a palm shorter than him, and her height was taller than that of an ordinary man.
It was normal for women who practiced martial arts to be taller, so he didn't think much about it.
Miss Yi Han was the first to notice that Xin Hongying did not have the purse hanging around her waist.
She said with a smile, "Master Kang, you didn't bring your purse today...are you afraid that I will steal your doll?"
Xin Hongying's handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes turned cold: "Miss Yihan really cares about my baby."
Miss Yihan smiled: "Master Kang's doll is very cute, it looks like it's alive. I really like it. If Master Kang is willing..."
Xin Hongying's face darkened, and he uttered two words from his thin lips, interrupting her directly, "Dream on!"
The doll is his!
Shen Tingyu touched the tip of her nose with a guilty conscience. Could it be that she discovered something?
Don't panic, stay calm!
I don’t know what Chef Miao and Fang Niang said, but she started coughing violently, the handkerchief in her hand was stained red, and she fell asleep again.
The doctor was seeing her inside.
The coughing sound attracted Shen Tingyu’s attention, and he saw her somewhat blue arm.
Her brain suddenly exploded with a buzzing sound, and she stared at her handkerchief and blue arm, as if she had been thrown into the water and drowned, and her breath was instantly suffocated.
She recalled the most outrageous plot in the original book, the horrific natural disaster that caused Xin Hongying to kill nearly half of the people in the city.
The tyrant's name became famous overnight, he was pointed at by thousands of people, cursed by the people, and everyone wanted to kill him - the culprit - the zombie blood plague!
The zombie blood plague is highly contagious. The early symptoms are not obvious. Gradually, the person's body becomes weak, starts coughing, and then coughs up blood. The body becomes like a zombie, white and purple, and finally dies from severe vomiting blood. The death is extremely cruel.
I hope she is wrong!
Shen Tingyu: Can you use the system to scan and determine whether Fangniang is infected with the zombie blood plague?
[Ding! Host, Xiao Qi couldn't do this originally, but the upgraded scanning function has been enhanced. Xiao Qi, give it a try...]
[Scanning..., ding, scan successful]
[Host, the abnormality in Fang Niang's body is very high, far exceeding the value of ordinary people. The probability of it being the Zombie Blood Plague is 77%...]
Although we cannot be sure, the probability of 77% is already very high, and it is definitely the zombie blood plague.
Now Yunzhou City is under martial law and sealed off, and then the zombie blood plague appeared. Could it be that the plague in the original book was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Now the epidemic did not appear in the capital, but in Yunzhou City. The epidemic was specifically aimed at Xin Hongying!
Who is so cruel?
Shen Tingyu watched without blinking, his face pale and he dared not breathe.
The tragic scenes in the book were so vivid that the words alone made her cry. She didn't want to see such a thing happen again.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Miss Kang, are you feeling unwell?"
The voices of a man and a woman sounded at the same time. Xin Hongying and Miss Yi Han looked at each other and quickly looked away as if they were hostile.
Shen Tingyu seemed to have finally withdrawn from the plot. He took a deep breath and immediately restrained all his expressions. His eyes were calm and solemn, more so than ever before.
"I saw a trace of black energy on Fang Niang's body. It was the black death energy of the plague."
