Chapter 149: Someone is dead

Views:

Shen Huan was stunned.

Maybe she showed too much care for her little disciple, which led to this misunderstanding.

Shen Huan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Disciple, don't worry, don't be afraid, just listen to what the master says."

As a result, Shen Huan wandered around for a long time and finally succeeded in confusing Shen Shijiu and Yue Nu.

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your body. You're doing fine."

Shen Huan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing her simple and innocent little disciple, she felt very tormented in her heart to tell a lie. Now she could deceive him like this, but after a while, his belly might not be able to be concealed. What should she do then

The foreign tribe leader arranged a place for the three people to live. It was a quaint little earthen building surrounded by a low fence.

Shen Huan started developing drugs as soon as she came back. After observing the conditions of the patients today, she already had some treatment plans in mind.

Shen Shijiu first walked around the small earthen building, and then looked out from the second floor. It looked completely different from the imperial capital.

Everything in the imperial capital is well organized, and at a glance you can see rows of houses and streets.

On the foreign side, there are not only many small buildings with strange shapes, but if you look into the distance, you can even see the desert in the foreign border area.

After crossing this desert, you will reach the land of barbarians.

Shen Shijiu had never seen a desert before. He tiptoed to look at the border line, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Ten, what are you doing?"

Yue Nu came up at some point and asked behind Shen Shijiu.

"Ayue, come over here and take a look, what's that?"

Yue Nu was also pulled over and looked into the distance.

"It's a desert, all sand. If you accidentally enter it and don't know much about deserts, it's easy to get lost. You might die of thirst or freezing in there."

Yue Nu thought of a time when he secretly followed Zhao Litang's army into the desert. They encountered a strong sandstorm that time, and their soldiers suffered heavy casualties before they even engaged in a battle with the barbarian army. Therefore, Yue Nu had a deep impression of the desert.

Shen Shijiu nodded. It turned out that place was so scary. He would never go there again. He slowly leaned on the railing on the second floor and continued to quietly watch the pedestrians coming and going and the vendors hawking their wares on the street outside.

Yue Nu looked Shen Jiujiu up and down carefully, but couldn't see any changes in him. She also didn't know why Master Shen asked him to drink those medicines.

Yue Nu hesitated several times, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to start. Finally, he spoke carefully, "Shi, why did you and Master Shen suddenly come here? Aren't you staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

When Shen Shijiu heard the words "Prime Minister's Mansion", he paused and lay on the railing without moving.

Yue Nu gently patted Shen Shijiu's shoulder, "Ten, ten?"

Shen Shijiu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, turned around, and the circles around his eyes were still red.

"A Yue" his voice was soft, but full of aggrieved feeling.

Yue Nu sighed and hugged him.

Shen Shijiu said, "Ayue, it was the master who told us to go back to the foreign tribe. Did you know that when we left, Brother Pei was seriously injured and hasn't woken up yet? I'm actually very worried about him."

Yue Nu understood and comforted him, "It's okay, Master Pei will definitely get better, don't worry too much."

But in fact, Yue Nu had heard some things about the imperial capital in the military camp before. She heard that Prime Minister Pei caused some turmoil in the court, and was then targeted by important officials. The queen also fanned the flames, but Yue Nu didn't know what happened afterwards.

At this moment, there was an urgent knock on the door downstairs. The two of them leaned over the fence and looked down, and found that it was several soldiers from the Celestial Empire.

Shen Huan went to the door and said with a smile, "Military officers, what can I do for you?"

"Have you seen any outsiders here?"

Shen Huan thought for a moment and said, "No, I didn't see any. I just saw the military officers and a few others."

Those people said, "If you see people from the Celestial Empire, you must report it as soon as possible, especially if you see barbarians. Do you understand?"

Shen Huan nodded, "I know, I know, don't worry, General."

Just as those people were about to leave, there was a sudden noise from upstairs and several people looked up.

"Who's up there?"

Shen Huan became a little nervous, "Upstairs, upstairs is..."

"Miaowu" Shen Shijiu imitated the kitten's grandmother's call. He imitated the cat's meow very well.

Shen Huan said quickly, "The cat upstairs is my cat. It's a little naughty. Maybe it broke something again."

The soldiers looked at each other, believed Shen Huan's words, and finally left.

After the soldiers left, the two people upstairs showed their heads.

"Master, what are they here for?"

Shen Huan glanced at Yue Nu who was standing beside him. "Do I need to ask? They must be here to look for him. I think Zhao Litang is really brave. He dares to look for someone in such a high-profile manner in the territory of the foreign tribe. He is afraid that others don't know that General Zhao's people are disobedient and have fled to the foreign tribe."

After hearing Shen Huan's ambiguous words, Yue Nu slowly lowered his head. In fact, he felt very embarrassed to always trouble Shen Huan and Shen Shijiu, but if he went back with Wu Quan and the others, the general would definitely send him back to the imperial capital.

He didn't want to be so far away from the general.

"Okay, both of you come down quickly and go out with me again."

Shen Huan has already developed a pharmacy to fight against plague symptoms, but whether it is effective or not can only be known after finding someone to try it out firsthand.

The master, his disciple and Yue Nu went out.

When they arrived at the temple they had been to before, there were several foreign soldiers guarding the door of the temple, and several people infected with the plague were thrown in from outside the door, and heart-wrenching cries could be heard from inside from time to time.

"Stop! What are you guys doing?"

The soldiers at the door stopped the men and said, "There are patients inside. You dare to go in? You are asking for your life!"

Shen Huan showed the token given to them by the clan leader to several people. Several soldiers immediately showed respect and stepped aside.

Shen Huan walked forward and pushed the door open, and immediately a foul stench of decay and smell of blood came out from inside.

Shen Huan stopped Shen Shijiu, "My little disciple, don't come in, wait outside. Yue Nu, come with me."

Yue Nu nodded, asked Shen Shijiu to wait outside with the soldiers, and followed Shen Huan into the temple.

Shen Shijiu waited outside for a while before Shen Huan and Yue Nu came out.

In fact, some of those patients drank the medicine that Shen Huan gave them last time. After finding that it really could relieve pain, they had a different impression of Shen Huan.

This time when Shen Huan distributed the medicine to them, some people came over to thank her, asked for a bowl of medicine and left.

After that, Shen Huan and his companions came to distribute medicine again. The wounded patients all respected them very much, because after drinking the medicine given by Shen Huan, the wounds on their bodies miraculously began to heal.

After a few days, those who were infected with the plague were almost all recovered, and they all began to call Shen Huan, Shen Shijiu and Yue Nu miracle doctors.

Gradually, these people were moved out of the temple and returned to normal life, and the name of the miracle doctor spread.

Many people would come to Shen Huan for treatment, and some even really regarded her as a deity. As soon as they saw her, they would start to worship her, making Shen Huan laugh and cry.

The leader of the foreign tribe thanked Shen Huan profusely for this. She once again saved the foreigners from danger with her superb medical skills.

The clan leader held a banquet to reward Shen Huan and the other two.

Foreign officials who had been infected with the plague but are now fully recovered were also invited to the banquet.

The official raised his glass to toast Shen Huan and said a lot of words of thanks. He praised Shen Huan so much that she felt embarrassed.

The official drank the wine in one gulp, and Shen Huan also drank up his glass of wine.

Next, several more people came over to toast Shen Huan, and some even toasted Shen Jiujiu, but the water in Shen Jiujiu's cup had already been replaced by tea by Yue Nu.

The banquet was coming to an end. Shen Huan had drunk too much. Surrounded by several people, her mouth was almost stretched to the horizon.

"Master, Master." Shen Shijiu pulled the corner of Shen Huan's clothes, "Master, please drink less water. You are almost drunk."

"It's okay. I can drink quite well." Shen Huan said with a burp.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the banquet, and someone was shouting non-stop.

Shen Shijiu heard clearly that those people were shouting, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"

Shen Huan was still drinking, so Shen Shijiu hurried over to check.

The person lying on the ground was the official who had just toasted. He had clearly recovered from the plague, but for some unknown reason he suddenly fell ill. His skin was all blood red, he was no longer breathing, and he was bleeding from all seven orifices. His death was extremely tragic.

Everyone present was frightened, fearing that they would be infected, and they all ran out quickly.

Only Shen Shijiu squatted beside the corpse, frowning and thinking for a long time, but still didn't know what went wrong.

At this time, someone shouted, "He must have been released before he recovered from his illness! What a life-saving doctor, he didn't cure him at all, I think it's all nonsense!"

The person who shouted was Hu Lan, who had always wanted to inherit the position of clan leader. He could take this opportunity to suppress the old clan leader.

Shen Huan was mostly sober now. Seeing that everyone in the room was standing far away and looking at her and her disciple questioningly, she clenched her fists and walked to the corpse.

"My little disciple, please move aside and let me take a look."

Shen Huan checked for a long time but found nothing unusual. If he wanted to know the cause of death of this person, he had to perform an autopsy on his body.

But as soon as Shen Huan made this request, other people in the room voiced their opposition. People from other tribes believed that the body must be kept intact after death, otherwise it would be impossible to be reincarnated.

Shen Jiujiu stood aside, clenching his sleeves anxiously. Now the other people in the room looked at them with strange eyes, full of suspicion and disbelief. Shen Jiujiu was a little scared by their gazes.
