The body was eventually dragged out by the soldiers.
And Hu Lan had been stirring up trouble, claiming that the old patriarch had found some weird doctor who failed to cure the disease and instead killed the patient.
The clan leader suppressed the matter for the time being. He knew clearly whether Shen Huan was a wild doctor or not, and he also knew that Hu Lan was eyeing his position covetously.
Shen Shijiu followed his master back to the earth building first, and Yue Nu also followed them back.
Shen Huan stayed in the room alone and hadn't said a word since he came back.
Shen Shijiu saw it and followed him into the room.
He held Shen Huan's hand and whispered, "It must not be Master's fault. Master is the best and greatest doctor in the world. The person I respect and admire the most is Master."
Shen Huan smiled weakly, "Really?"
Shen Shijiu nodded heavily, "Really, really."
Shen Huan patted his hands, "Alright little disciple, doesn't your master know what you are thinking? No need to comfort me, I just want to be alone and calm down, thinking about what went wrong. I'm fine, you can go out first."
Shen Shijiu nodded, "Master, if you have anything, you must call me, understand?"
Shen Huan looked at Shen Shijiu's serious face and said with a smile, "Yes, Master knows."
As Shen Shijiu just walked out of the room, he saw Yue Nu running towards him in a hurry.
"Ten, ten! Something happened!"
Shen Shijiu quickly supported him and said, "Ayue, what's wrong? Please speak slowly."
"We can't wait any longer. There are so many people gathered at the door, clamoring to see the three of us. I see that some of them were previously infected with the plague, and now their condition is even more serious. They are all piled up outside the door and are about to squeeze in!"
As the two were talking, the door downstairs was pushed open.
The patients pouring in from outside were all suffering from skin ulcers. Their symptoms were indeed much more serious than before. Some of them had already fainted and lost consciousness. They were carried in by other people. Bleeding began to come out of all their orifices. They had the same symptoms as the official.
Then, they will all die one by one.
The small earthen building was suddenly filled with a strange and unpleasant smell. Fortunately, the three of them had taken preventive pills, otherwise they would have been infected long ago.
"It's them. There must be something wrong with the medicine they gave us. Otherwise, how could we become the half-human, half-ghost state we are in now!"
"That's right, we could have lived a few more days, but they must have given up on us. They gave us poison that will hasten our death!"
"Yes, they said they were sent by the tribe leader to treat us, but I think they were here to poison us. We must get an explanation from the tribe leader!
"Yes, you must give an explanation!"
The people present started shouting, and Shen Shijiu and Yue Nu went downstairs first.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me."
Yue Nu shouted at the top of her lungs, but when everyone saw someone coming out from inside, they swarmed over without thinking, vying to ask for an explanation from them.
Some people suddenly fainted while being squeezed, and then their bodies turned red and blood began to flow from all their orifices.
Shen Shijiu hurriedly ran over to check on the person who had fainted, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the person next to him.
The man had messy hair and the skin on his arms was bloody and horribly covered. His nails pinched Shen Shijiu's delicate skin, leaving two bloody marks on his arm.
Shen Shijiu frowned in pain and tried to pull his arm back, but the man held it tightly and he couldn't move.
"It's you! You are the apprentice of the wild doctor! Just catch you!"
There were already blood clots on his face, and when he spoke to Shen Shijiu, a rotten smell came over him. Shen Shijiu felt stomach discomfort and waves of urge to dry heave came to his throat.
Shen Huan heard the noise downstairs and came down. Seeing the very chaotic courtyard, she felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
These people, not long ago, regarded them as saviors, calling them miracle doctors and wishing to worship them like gods.
Now that the truth of the matter has not yet been clarified, these people have begun to regard them as the culprits, vying to pull them off the altar and trample them under their feet.
Shen Huan was also grabbed by several aggressive people, and she didn't even try to resist.
After practicing medicine for so many years, this was the first time that Shen Huan encountered such a thing. He was actually being chased and beaten.
At this time, there was another noise outside the door. A group of foreign soldiers walked into the yard. They first wrapped up the people lying on the ground with thick cloth, and then dragged them out of the door.
Everyone else present was frightened by this scene, and gradually quieted down. The man who had been holding Shen Shijiu also let go.
Shen Shijiu looked at his arm which was still bleeding and breathed softly, but it was still very painful.
The leading soldier glanced at Shen Shijiu and the other two, then waved his hand, "Catch all three of them!"
The foreign races have been living in the gap between the Celestial Empire and the barbarians, so they have been very restless recently.
But now, the patriarch of the foreign tribe suddenly announced his abdication, and the old patriarch gave his throne to Hu Lan.
Who would have thought that as soon as Hu Lan came to power, the first thing he did was to arrest Shen Shijiu and the other two, saying that he wanted to carefully investigate why those patients died, and he would not release them until the investigation was clear.
But in fact, the reason why those patients suddenly became seriously ill and died was all because of Hu Lancong.
Shen Shijiu and Yue Nu were locked up in the same cell, while Shen Huan was locked up alone.
It was pitch black all around. Shen Shijiu was pushed by someone and landed directly on the cold floor of the cell.
"Ten, Ten, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Yue Nu hurried over to help Shen Shijiu up from the ground, but happened to touch the blood on his arm.
"You're bleeding!"
Yue Nu helped Shen Shijiu to sit on the only stone bed in the cell. With the faint light, she saw several blood marks on his arm. It was obvious that he had scratched it with his fingernails, and then he rubbed it on the ground, so blood started to ooze out again.
"Ayue, I'm fine." Shen Shijiu took out a small jar from his sleeve, "There's medicine in it, just help me apply some."
Yue Nu quickly applied medicine for him. The bleeding from the wound stopped, but there seemed to be no signs of healing.
Shen Shijiu asked, "Ayue, where is this place? Where is the master?"
"This should be the prison cell of the foreign race. They are probably treating us as criminals. Master Shen was just locked up in another cell."
Yue Nu said this as she tore off a piece of the hem of her outer robe and bandaged Shen Shijiu's arm.
"Hiss" Shen Shijiu frowned in pain. He felt that the wound was still burning with pain.
The wound was caused by being scratched by someone suffering from the plague. Shen Shijiu looked at his arm and the blood oozing out of the cloth, and couldn't help but feel worried.
The plague is highly contagious. Even if I take preventive pills, I won’t be infected with the plague, right
Before he could think about it, the cell door was opened.
Someone outside came in with a lamp, illuminating the small cell.
The people who came were two foreign jailers, and behind them were two soldiers from the Celestial Empire.
The two soldiers knew Yue Nu, and when they saw Yue Nu here, they wanted to come forward and take him away.
Shen Shijiu grabbed Yue Nu's hand, "Ayue! Who are you? Why did you take Ayue away?"
"Who are you? We don't need to report anything to a foreigner like you."
The two Celestial Empire soldiers had never seen Shen Shijiu before and did not intend to explain further. They each held up Yue Nu's arm and were about to lead him out of the cell.
Yue Nu guessed that the two men were Zhao Litang's subordinates, so she said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have something to say!"
As expected, the two men stopped at the door of the cell.
"I demand to take him with me!"
Yue Nu pointed at Shen Shijiu who was still sitting on the stone platform. If she left, she didn't know how Shen Shijiu would be treated. It would be safer for him to follow the soldiers of the Celestial Empire and be captured by Zhao Litang.
However, Zhao Litang did not know that Shen Shijiu had come to the border, and the order he issued was only to capture Yue Nu, so his subordinates only recognized Yue Nu.
"The general has ordered that we only take you back. The others will be involved in foreign political turmoil, and we cannot interfere."
After saying that, the two men forcibly pulled Yue Nu out. Yue Nu clasped the door of the cell with her fingers, but it was pried open by someone.
Shen Shijiu watched the cell door close again in front of him, but he was powerless to stop it. He could only call out in vain, "A Yue"
After the cell door was tightly closed, darkness returned inside. Shen Shijiu sat alone on the cold stone bed. He slowly curled up, hugged his legs and shivered slightly.
He felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen. This pain was very unfamiliar and he had never experienced it before, but fortunately it subsided after a few pains.
In this quiet environment, Shen Shijiu was filled with fear and uneasiness, but he felt helpless, and his small body curled up in the darkness.
The corners of his eyes gradually became sore, and he couldn't help but think of someone who was thousands of miles away.
The cell gradually became colder and colder. Shen Shijiu was shivering slightly from the cold. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon they slowly closed.
When I woke up again, someone grabbed my hair hard, and my scalp was slightly numb.
Shen Shijiu raised his chin and opened his eyes to look at the person in front of him. It was the new chief of the foreign tribe, Hu Lan.
Hu Lan grabbed Shen Shijiu's hair, forcing him to look up at her, and then looked at his face several times.
"Are you the apprentice of the wild doctor?"
Shen Shijiu woke up, his eyes changed as he looked at him, he stared at him without saying a word, then snorted and turned his head away.
"I'm asking you a question? How dare you not answer? I'm the clan leader, how dare you disrespect me like this? You're asking for a beating!"
