How much lotus root and silk are there?Lian Xin knows who is suffering.The two flowers are tender and tender, they are just children of the old family.The sky has promised, do not teach, life and death Yuanyang Pu.
This year's summer is hotter than usual.Just after the rainy season had stopped, Long Baiyue had already developed a rash from the heat.She simply moved her bedding to the deck, and at night, she lay on the mat, soaking her hair in the hot summer potion prepared by Zimian and the others.Incense to repel mosquitoes was burning beside the mat.The moonlight covered Long Baiyue's body like water, reflecting her into a beautiful woman.The moon is rolling, Bo Yanyu, she is looking at the moon while shaking the cattail fan, drowsy.

In the quiet night, a living ghost sprang out again at this time to disturb people's dreams.He Lingyun jumped onto the deck abruptly, and landed beside Long Baiyue with a loud bang. "I'm going to die, your poison doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay to jump up to scare people." The potion for soaking her hair splashed her face due to the vibration, Long Baiyue was startled by He Lingyun, and hurriedly pulled the thin blanket to cover her body, Gather up the slightly parted placket. "When the boat is parked on the shore, don't lie on the deck, lest you be trampled to death by me." He Lingyun glanced lightly at the disheveled Long Baiyue, and with a smirk on his face, he went into the cabin to look for Zi Mian.

"This bad boy!" Long Baiyue cursed, wiping the water off his face with his sleeve. In the cabin, Zi Mian closed his eyes and practiced inner alchemy. When he opened his eyes, he saw He Lingyun sitting on the side and smiling at him. "When did you come?" Zi Mian smiled at him. "Just now," He Lingyun said with a hint of pride in his tone, "I don't need to be a guard in the palace today, so I came here without telling my family." "It's really hard work for you. Since you're here, let's take a look at your injuries." Zi Mian got up to wake up the sleeping Ming Chuangchen.

"Hey, why do you always fight against Prime Minister Cao? He made it clear that he doesn't like you, and my father also forbids me to associate with you. You also know that my father is with Prime Minister Cao, so there is nothing I can do about it." He Lingyun said helplessly. Scratch your head. "Yes, yes, I have tried my best to avoid the prime minister, but the road is narrow." Zi Mian helped Ming Chuangchen, whose eyes were still closed, and saw that his face was bitten by mosquitoes, so she found some medicine and rubbed it on him. "It's really strange, you don't have much power in Sitianjian, why is the prime minister always getting along with you."

"who knows." While applying the medicine, He Lingyun and Zi Mian chatted about recent anecdotes in the capital. This part of the major events. "Cao Zhen has been missing for so long, and the prime minister's face has finally turned pale recently, because his second son was appointed Princess Shang Fushou by the sage." "Is that Cao Fang from the seventh rank?" "It will be the fifth grade soon." He Lingyun sneered, "Recently, the plague has been raging around the capital, is this considered a blessing?" Zi Mian frowned.In order to suppress him, the prime minister insisted on excluding him from the governance of the plague.Even if he wanted to intervene, he had no chance: "Has the plague not been brought under control yet?"

"No, the Holy Majesty has been going to the night court for several days in a row because of this matter, and I was exhausted to death, so I only have a day off today." Ming Chuangchen interjected after hearing this: "They also said that the plague should be controlled so that the capital would not be affected. Today, when I was shopping for vegetables, I heard from the aunt at the butcher shop that her nephew's family who lives in Dongchengmen has already been infected. " "If the situation continues to get serious, I will take action sooner or later." Zi Mian pondered for a while, and decided to forget the prime minister's threat again.

He Lingyun smiled noncommittally, got up and said goodbye after finishing his clothes.Zi Mian sent him out, the two of them went to the deck, and saw that Long Baiyue, who was enjoying the cool air, was already fast asleep. "This woman." He Lingyun let out a low snort, laughing at her lack of reserve. Seeing that Long Baiyue was still soaking her head in the cold water, Zi Mian went up to pick up her hair and removed the basin.Seeing his gentle and careful movements, He Lingyun couldn't help but frown. Zi Mian knew what He Lingyun was interested in, so he could only smile innocently: "Don't think too much, I know."

"You know yourself." He Lingyun waved his hand impatiently, and jumped into the night as soon as he flew. Long Baiyue woke up when the sky was getting dark, and the cold air of the night made her neck ache.She got up, rubbed her neck and walked into the cabin, and saw Zi Mian master and apprentice busy with something. "Are you up?" Zi Mian turned to look at her and greeted her, "Come over to help after washing up, anyway, it's still a while before breakfast." "Oh, yes." Long Baiyue agreed casually. When she tidied herself up and tucked up her sleeves and stepped forward to help, she saw Zi Mian and the others dispensing medicine.

"What is this for?" Long Baiyue curiously saw that Ming Chuangchen was pitting dates. "Tai Yi Shen Jing Pill." Zi Mian answered her while weighing the medicine stone, "You have the medicine I prepared, mix them into the jujube paste." "Okay." Long Baiyue sprinkled the medicinal powder into the jujube paste, "What does this medicine cure?" "Malaria in the plague, pay attention to controlling the dosage, you have arsenic in your hand." Frightened, Long Baiyue hurriedly added another tablespoon of jujube paste to the medicine.

"Mix them well, and knead them into balls the size of millet grains." "It's so small that it works?" Long Baiyue looked at the jujube paste dumpling in his hand in disbelief. Is it medicine or jujube paste? "Hurry up and do it, at least 5,000 people will be driven out in the next two days." Ming Chuangchen cut out quickly with a knife. Long Baiyue almost passed out.The medicine for 5,000 people has to be squeezed out of her hands, these two masters and apprentices really think highly of her. Unexpectedly, she was busy for two days, regardless of morning and evening, except for three meals and very little sleep, the high-intensity labor made Long Baiyue's neck more and more painful, and finally she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist. She was arched, her face was covered with crumbs of jujube paste, her eyes were staring straight, and her hands were still rubbing together like flies.Tangtang's image as an oiran is completely ruined, if she is seen by an old acquaintance doing such unglamorous menial work, she will definitely die.

I don't know when he was so busy, Zi Mian suddenly called to stop, and Long Baiyue collapsed on the ground as if he had been pardoned. "Chuang Chen, what time is it?" Zi Mian asked, her face pale with exhaustion. "It's about time, master." Ming Chuangchen wiped his sweat.They actually stayed up all night again. "Clean up, we'll go to the East City Gate in Sishi." Oh no?Long Baiyue's face was so bitter that bile dripped out.Shall we go again at Sishi tomorrow? They simply freshen up and prepare for the next busy day.Ming Chuangchen burned a furnace of medicinal incense, and the three of them took turns smoking to avoid the plague and miasma.Zi Mian tied her hair into a crown and tucked her wide sleeves into her belt behind her. He handed each of them a pill and a scarf. "Keep the pill under your tongue, and cover your mouth and nose with a gauze." He demonstrated, "Follow me closely when you go out, and don't run away." Long Baiyue originally thought that Zi Mian had made a big fuss, but as soon as they opened the door of the mansion, a gust of wind rushed towards her face, and the stench caught Long Baiyue off guard. Throwing up against the wall.Ming Chuangchen quickly stroked her back, and Zi Mian gave her another pill: "Be patient, it will take a while to get used to it." Evil, she rolled her eyes, these two people are really different, they spend their days in incense from morning to night, and they are still in good condition when they encounter such a stench. When Long Baiyue felt better, the three of them walked towards the east of the city, and within a few steps they heard mourning.When they entered the slums, the situation was even more serious. There were sick people with sallow faces leaning against the walls, and many of them were dying in their own excrement.A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair was holding a child with her eyes closed tightly. Chonglong Baiyue opened her mouth wide, but couldn't yell out anything.Long Baiyue was so frightened that she hid behind Zi Mian. At this moment, the officials of the government suddenly appeared. They shook off the blue cloth soaked in camphor, and pulled apart the bundles of cloth to form a boundary line.One of the yamen servants yelled loudly: "Listen, people other than Lanbu, don't step into the boundary, or you will be killed." Long Baiyue was stunned, they were just outside the blue cloth. "Hey, officer, we just came in, don't separate us here..." Long Baiyue ran over in a hurry, reaching out to grab the cloth, when she saw a cold light coming, her collar tightened, and her whole body was pulled He stepped back and fell into Zimian's arms. She was sweating profusely, stood still in embarrassment, looked up at Zi Mian, but saw Zi Mian staring straight ahead with a blank expression, her voice suppressed a rare anger: "Who allowed you to use the knife at will?" The yamen servant saw that Zi Mian was wearing an extraordinary dress and that the medicine box was carrying an imperial seal, so his attitude immediately became respectful: "I have offended you, the Holy Majesty is about to go out of the west city gate to the palace, and the Prime Minister has ordered you to set up barriers every mile to prevent disturbance. Holy driver." "Looking at the situation, it doesn't look like a normal walking barrier." Zi Mian sneered, "Did the Prime Minister send a doctor over? Are the victims here allowed to fend for themselves?" "My lord, there will be arrangements from above, and the villain is also obeying orders, so I'm offended." The yamen servant bowed perfunctorily, turned around and directed the others, desperately laying roadblocks. A line of roadblocks was stretched apart, and government servants faced each other with swords and soldiers to prevent victims from crossing the line. "It's over, what should we do, we've been quarantined..." Long Baiyue looked at Zi Mian with straight eyes, and said weakly. "Saving people is the most important thing." Zi Mian put the heavy medicine box on her back and started distributing medicine to the victims, "Take one pill first, if it doesn't work, add half a pill tomorrow, don't take too much at once, remember." Long Baiyue had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow suit. When the victims saw the savior, they cried and gathered towards her and surrounded her.She was afraid and did not dare to take a big breath, she kept holding her hands, and shouted hoarsely, but she was wearing a gauze scarf, and the hot summer sun made her sweat profusely.Busy until noon, Long Baiyue had time to straighten up to take a breath, but as soon as she stood up, her eyes turned black, and her body was shaking and she was about to fall down. Zi Mian on the side hastily supported her: "Are you okay? Go and have a rest." "Yeah." She nodded in a trance, and floated to the wall to lean against, "Shall we have something to eat?" "It's best not to eat it. I don't know what caused the plague. Be careful." Zi Mian pulled his sleeves out of his belt and pulled the corner of the sleeves to wipe his profuse sweat. Locked and looking into the distance. "I would have brought some dry food if I knew it earlier." Ming Chuangchen also leaned against the wall with a painful expression on his face, and slid on the ground. "Forget it, these medicines alone are heavy enough. Who would have expected that the imperial court would be so cruel that we couldn't go back to the mansion." Long Baiyue frowned and sighed, regretting that she didn't want to carry another half a catty of steamed stuffed buns back then. of. Regrets are regrettable, and they have to do their jobs. All the victims are looking at them pitifully. The three of them rested for a while and continued to distribute medicine. They started to walk through the streets and alleys from the east gate, and went westward in a detour. They were busy until the end of the day. Long Baiyue suffered from heat stroke. She couldn't remember how she fell down. At first, it seemed that her stomach was uncomfortable, but she suddenly vomited acid water;When she woke up again, she felt the pain from Zi Mian pinching her, and the severe pain in her nose, which made her burst into tears uncontrollably. It seemed that she was on the ground: "I ...is my nose crooked?" Zi Mian was relieved to hear that she was able to speak, and was amused by her worry: "Fortunately, it's not too crooked." When Long Baiyue heard this, all thoughts were lost. Seeing that she was about to lose her wits, Zi Mian really laughed softly: "I lied to you." Long Baiyue was furious, this guy could actually make jokes, but he chose this moment.She was half-believing and wanted to touch her nose, but she didn't dare to touch it because she was afraid of pain, so she finally had to put her hand on her face. This touch made her feel cold again: "Where is my scarf?" "You have sunstroke, this scarf has to be removed." Long Baiyue panicked, trembling and crying: "Then, then, will I..." "Don't think about it, I can save you if you get the plague." Zi Mian comforted her, "You are also lucky, the place where you poured it happened to be a pharmacy, I will go and see if there are any medicinal materials in it that can detoxify you. You wait." He gently rested Long Baiyue's head on a low bluestone step, and let her lie flat.Only then did Long Baiyue realize that Zi Mian had been hugging her just now, she turned her eyes away in embarrassment, and looked for Ming Chuangchen's figure from the corner of her eye, afraid that he was looking at her. At this time, Ming Chuangchen's voice came from the pharmacy behind her head, reassuring Long Baiyue: "Master, this pharmacy is quite messy, it seems to have been closed for a while, but there is no shortage of medicinal materials. " Why is the medicine store closed at this time? Long Baiyue frowned, and when she raised her eyes casually, a bronze medal with the word "medicine" came into her eyes, which suddenly made her feel familiar. It's Li's pharmacy! Thinking of Li Fangnu and Cao Zhen, Long Baiyue smiled triumphantly even though she was unwell.That's the pair of lovers she made.Thinking about that night, she worked so hard to find an abandoned and dry waterway and successfully sent them out of the city, but before she could say goodbye, she ran all the way back to Zi Mian's mansion, exhausting her half her life.It's poor that she has to tiptoe back to the boat along her cloak. She has never worked so hard in her life, and she almost dislocated her hand. It's rare to be a good person, she is easy, Long Baiyue pursed her lips tightly, afraid that she would laugh out loud. She raised her eyes, wanting to look at the bronze medal again, but was stunned. Li Fangnu actually stood a foot behind her ear, staring blankly ahead. "Miss Li, when did you come back?" Long Baiyue opened his mouth to greet, strangely unable to hear his own voice. When Li Fangnu moved her body, a gust of wind blew gently from the back of Long Baiyue's head, causing her to have goose bumps all over her body on a hot day, her scalp suddenly tightened, and she began to feel something was wrong. I saw Li Fangnu walking straight forward without any steps at all.She slowly passed Long Baiyue in this way, and Long Baiyue froze with fright. There were no feet under her skirt at all, and there were no footprints where she walked, but there was a faint watermark, like a trace left by a snake. Long Baiyue's heart beat violently, causing her chest to throb.She was breathing heavily and opened her mouth wide in horror, but she couldn't make a sound.The great fear made Long Baiyue gasp suddenly, rolled his eyes, and passed out.
