【Xia Jia】

I don't know what the plague is, but I see that the people are flustered, but I feel that I am more flustered than he is at this moment. Because...... Because Marc said, like me. Of course, that's not what he said. This conversation lingers in my mind.

"What if someone likes you?"

"Who's that to be?"

"That person is me. ”

When I heard those last words, my mind went blank for a moment. I didn't react until a few seconds later. I kept my head down, and my face looked like there was a fire burning. I mustered up the courage to look at him, and the man named Marc bowed his head at this moment.

I couldn't see his face, I couldn't see his eyes. But though I can't see something. My heart is still beating very fast.

I haven't thought about falling in love or getting married, I'm just an ordinary maid in Zhao's mansion, and I don't feel anything special.

Although in the eyes of the people in Ten Thousand Swords City, the person who can be a maid in the Zhao Mansion is already a master. When I didn't come to Zhao Mansion to be a maid, many people said that.

I came to Zhao Mansion as a maid for my livelihood, at that time I didn't think that I would be selected, I just had a really difficult family at that time, and I came to Zhao Mansion as a maid with the mentality of trying it out.

I remember the first time I entered the Zhao Mansion and saw a middle-aged man with a serious face, and I still can't remember the name and appearance of that person.

At that time, the middle-aged man said, "Who are you and what are you here for?"

The middle-aged man's voice startled me, and I felt that there was a kind of majesty in the middle-aged man's voice. I thought to myself, are all the people in Zhao's Mansion like this? I feel that my eyes are on the top of my head.

I said weakly, "I am...... Wrong...... My name is Xia Jia, and I came to Zhao Mansion to apply for a job as a maid. ”

I really had a lot of courage to say such a sentence at that time, and at this time a voice said, "You want to come to the Zhao Mansion to be a maid?"

I raised my head and saw a young man, and when the young man came over, the middle-aged man's attitude immediately became respectful, and he said, "Young Master." ”

I should have said, "Yes." ”

The young man said, "What's your name?"

I continued: "Xia Jia. ”

The young man said, "Congratulations, you've been accepted." ”

I was stunned, this young man said a simple word, and I was admitted? It's that simple, I will become the maid of the Zhao Mansion, and I will become a master in the eyes of others in Ten Thousand Swords City.

Fortunately, I reacted at the time and almost forgot to ask the most important question: "How much is it per month?"

The young man said, "I don't know about that. ”

After the young man said this, he left.

I wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but I was stopped by the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said to me, "The salary is two taels of silver every month." ”

I was taken aback by this number, two taels of silver is not a small number for an ordinary person, two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person's family to spend three months.

I asked the middle-aged man, "Am I admitted?"

The middle-aged man said, "The young master has said so, will there be a fake?"

I said, "Who is the young master you said just now?"

The middle-aged man said: "The one who admitted you just now is the young master of the Zhao family, the head of the Zhao family, and the son of Zhao Yukun, Zhao Mingwei. ”

That was the first time I met Zhao Mingwei, but I didn't see any difference between this person named Zhao Mingwei and others.

Everything went smoothly when I went to Zhao's Mansion to be a maid, and I didn't have any particularly heavy work, and I didn't encounter anything bad.

There are a lot of family members who have pursued me, but I have not responded, I can't say why, but I have not responded, and there seem to be more and more family members pursuing me. It's inexplicable.

But just now, when this man named Marc said that to me, my heart trembled inexplicably, and my mouth was as dry as a desert. This is something that has never happened before.

At this time, Marc continued: "I know, you may refuse, but there may be some plague in the Zhao Mansion now, of course, it is best if there is none. I don't know what the plague is. But this thing just sounds like a bad look. I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I may not have a chance in the future, you can refuse, but please let me finish. ”

I looked at Mark, and Marker looked at me. At this moment, his face flushed and said, "I like you!"

I said, "I promise you!"

I don't know why I say something like this, as if something else was taking over my body. As I finished these four words, the one that had taken over my body gave it back to me.

At this time, there was a clear sense of relief in my heart, and I knew that I should say this.

【Marke】

It was night, the time most people went to bed, but I didn't. Because I can't sleep. I know that there must be someone in the Zhao Mansion who hasn't slept now. But I'm sure there is no one in the Zhao Mansion, or even in the entire Ten Thousand Swords City, who will be happier than me.

Because I finally mustered up the courage to confess to Xia Jia, but I didn't expect Xia Jia to agree, she actually agreed.

My current feelings, with the pen of the author of this book now, no matter how much he writes, will never be able to write a ten-thousandth of my current joyful mood.

I fell in love with Xia Jia at the first sight, I'm sure of that.

But I really don't act like a man in this matter. I sometimes can't help but ask myself, aren't you going to be a swordsman? You are not even afraid of death in order to become a swordsman, why would you be afraid to show love to a girl.

I've only known him for two days. We haven't gotten to know each other well yet, and he probably doesn't like me.

I was persuaded every time by such reasons.

But every time I see her, I am happy, there is no reason, or there is a reason, I just can't say it myself.

Until this day, I knew that there was something called the plague, and this thing had the potential to take my life, and I was afraid that it would be too late if I didn't say anything about it, and it was at this time that I had a strong feeling that if I missed this time, I might regret it for the rest of my life.

It was at this time that I called his name and said those words to him, and I knew that no matter what the outcome was, I would never regret it again.

But I didn't expect her to say yes, she really did.

At one point I was dizzy for a moment, feeling like my body was fluttering, as if I might be able to fly at any moment.

Just when I was thinking about today's daytime, someone suddenly knocked on my door again, pulling me back to reality from the good memories of today's day, and pulling me back to the room of the Zhao family where I live now.

The man outside the door said, "Did you sleep?"

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this voice was Xia Jia. I said, "I haven't slept yet." ”

Xia Jia said again: "Can I come in now?"

I said, "Come in." ”

【Marc & Xia Jia】

Marc said, "What's wrong?"

Xia Jia said: "I can't sleep. ”

Marc said, "Afraid of the plague?"

Xia Jia said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that I don't feel it." ”

Marker nodded.

Xia Jia continued: "Why can't you sleep?"

Marc thought for a moment but didn't speak. At this time, Marc said, "Come and sit, don't stand all the time, it's tiring." ”

When Xia Jia heard Marke's words, she slowly walked over and sat at the head of his bed. But at this time, Marc was in trouble again, Xia Jia was sitting so close to him that he could even feel her body temperature and her breathing.

Xia Jia said: "Is what you said during the day today true?"

Marc said, "What?"

Xia Jia said: "Like me, those words." ”

When Xia Jia's voice said this, the words became very low and very thin.

Marker hurriedly said, "It's true, more real than pearls." ”

Xia Jia said: "Don't be kidding, I'm serious." ”

"I'm serious too," Marc said. ”

Xia Jia said: "I'm just a maid in Zhao's mansion, and you are a young master." ”

Malke said: "It's good that you are a maid in the Zhao Mansion, but I am not a young master either. ”

Xia Jia said, "You're not a young master?"

Marc said, "No, how can you conclude that I am a young master. ”

Xia Jia said: "I don't know, I only know that you have a good relationship with Young Master Zhao, and Young Master Zhao is a young master, so his friend must also be a young master." ”

Marc said: "Zhao Mingwei and I haven't known each other for long, less than half a year. My family is not as rich as the Zhao Mansion. If you regret it, I can understand that. ”

Xia Jia said: "I don't regret it, this may be better." ”

Marc said, "Better?"

Xia Jia didn't speak, just smiled.

Marker continued: "What if my family is poor?"

Xia Jia said, "Then does your family have any money for food?"

"Yes," Marc said, "but it doesn't have anything good." ”

Xia Jia said: "Just don't starve to death." ”

Marc grabbed Xia Jia's hand and said, "If there is really a plague, are you afraid?"

Xia Jia smiled: "I don't know, but I think my luck has always been very good, even if there is any plague, it will not land on me." ”

【Sun Yun】

Wanjian City, Zhao Mansion, Rejuvenation Hall.

Sun Yun got up, got dressed, and then combed his white hair. Then it's time to rinse your mouth and wash your face.

At this moment, the golden sun has risen to the sky, and the sunlight emitted is still warm, everything is the same as yesterday, as if nothing has changed, everything is as calm as usual.

But this peace was soon broken by a person, this person was an elderly man, in the Zhao Mansion, people called him Ajia.

Ah Jia is one of the oldest family members in the Zhao Mansion, and when Zhao Yukun has not yet become the head of the Zhao family, Ah Jia was already a family member in the Zhao Mansion. Now Ah Jia is in charge of mowing the lawn, this kind of work basically does not require much physical strength, and most of the time there is no work, he is now in a state of almost semi-pension in the Zhao Mansion.

However, no one has any objections to this, and it is true that according to Ajia's age, he has indeed reached the age where he can support his old age.

Sun Yun said, "Why did you come to this Rejuvenation Hall today?"

Ajia said: "I have a little headache and some shortness of breath. ”

Sun Yun pointed to a chair and said, "You sit down first." ”

Sun Yun touched Ah Jia's head, it was indeed very hot, and Sun Yun said again: "You open your mouth and stick your tongue out." ”

Ajia did so.

Sun Yun looked at it and said, "It's okay." ”

Ah Jia said, "Is this the plague that you were all talking about yesterday?"

Sun Yun said expressionlessly: "I don't know these yet, you can stay in the Rejuvenation Hall now, don't go anywhere." ”

Ah Jia said: "If it is really the plague, what will happen, can it be cured?"

Sun Yun said: "Don't think about the bad first. ”

Ah Jia saw that Sun Yun's face had become solemn, but Ah Jia smiled, and he said: "I don't think badly, I, Ah Jia, am ninety years old this year, even if I die now, I will live a long life." And I came to Zhao Mansion at the age of seventeen to be the housekeeper, and the housekeepers and maids here will call me Grandpa A when they see me. Even the current young master has to call me grandpa. No one else in Ten Thousand Swords City has the same majesty as me. ”

After Ah Jia said these words, he suddenly burst into tears. His eyes were full of tears, but the corners of his mouth were still smiling. Ah Jia said to Sun Yun: "Mr. Sun, if I really got the plague, remember that after I died, burn my corpse, I didn't know who I heard before, only if the corpse was burned, then those germs on the corpse would not be transmitted to others." And you have to remember to take me to say thank you for the head of the Zhao family. ”

Sun Yun said: "If you want to say it yourself, I won't say it for you." ”

When Sun Yun finished saying this, the medicine jar on the side made a "goo-goo" sound.

Sun Yun took down the medicine jar and poured the medicinal juice inside into a bowl. Then he brought the bowl to Ah Jia and said, "Drink the medicine." ”

Ah Jia took the bowl in Sun Yun's hand, looked at the dark yellow medicine in the bowl, the medicine emitted an indescribable smell, and then Ah Jia drank the medicine, but he only took a sip and said, "This taste is too bitter." ”

Sun Yun said: "The medicine is like this, and I can't help it." ”

Ah Jia continued to pick up the bowl and drank the medicine in one go.

Sun Yun handed a small thing to Ah Jia again. He said: "Sugar can synthesize the bitterness of medicine. ”

Ah Jia unwrapped the candy wrapper and put the piece of candy in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I feel like I'm almost all right now." ”

But on the night of this day, Ah Jia died at the age of ninety. When he died, his skin was more or less black.

Just tonight, a new order appeared in the Zhao Mansion: "Everyone in the Zhao Mansion should try not to go out of their rooms if there is no need." If you have a headache, brain fever, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or other symptoms, please go to the Rejuvenation Hall immediately and see Dr. Sun. ”

In the next few days, there were people who showed such symptoms, including men and women, all of whom were maids and servants in Zhao's mansion.

These people have been having a high fever that does not go away, and Sun Yun has used all the methods to reduce their fever, nor has there been any way to treat other illnesses for these people.

These people died in a few hours at least and three days at most, and yes, not a single one survived.

The bodies of these people were all burned, and Sun Yun felt a deep sense of powerlessness that he had never experienced since he was a doctor. He watched as the man died in front of him.

Such a sense of powerlessness is that no language, no matter what kind of words, cannot describe.

Some of them were already delirious when they died, and they just kept repeating the phrase "to die, to die, to die, to die......"

When those people stopped talking, they were killed.

When those people were lying on the bed, weak and delirious, repeating those three words, Sun Yun was still expressionless, but only he knew that when he heard those three words, Sun Yun's heart was dripping blood.

Every word they uttered was like a stab in his heart and a whip on him.

When some people died, they said to Sun Yun: "Thank you......"

Sun Yun nodded, still expressionless.

But no one in the Zhao Mansion blamed Sun Yun, and in their impression, Sun Yun had always been like this. Whether he heals you well or not, he is like this. And in the Zhao Mansion, no, there seems to be such a consensus in the entire Ten Thousand Swords City.

Sun Yun, Dr. Sun came to see you, and it was Dr. Sun's medical skills that healed you. If you can't be cured, it's your life that deserves to be like this, no wonder Dr. Sun.

In the past few days, more than 20 people have died in Zhao Mansion. It's all the family members and maids of the Zhao Mansion.

At this time, everyone knew that there was really a plague in the Zhao Mansion, and that legendary disease was now in the Zhao Mansion of Ten Thousand Swords City.

Now everyone in the Zhao Mansion is very panicked, whether it is the family or the maid, their faces have become solemn, and a dark cloud is shrouded in everyone's heart.

Now only the healthy people see the building of the Rejuvenation Hall and walk around, for fear that they will be infected with the damned plague. Even if someone coughs, everyone will stay away from him. If the person with the cough is good and lucky, he will be accompanied by other people or his friends to the Rejuvenation Hall.

【Zhao Yukun】

"Head of the Zhao family, we want to go home. The two family members said.

"Now there is a plague in the Zhao Mansion, and no one in the Zhao Mansion can go out. Zhao Yukun said.

"But we didn't have the plague, we didn't have a headache, we didn't have a brain fever, we didn't have a rapid heartbeat, and we didn't have any other symptoms. One of the family members said.

"Even if it's okay, you still have to stay in the Zhao Mansion, and you can't leave the Zhao Mansion for half a step until the plague is over. If you leave without permission, I will cut off your legs!" Zhao Mingwei said sharply.

The two family members were frightened, they had never seen the head of the house speak in such a stern tone. Although the Zhao family is the head of the eight major families in Ten Thousand Swords City, the head of this generation of the Zhao family is notoriously kind. Even if you talk to the maid, it's just as amiable. They never expected that this head of the house would also speak in such a stern tone.

"But my mother, my mother is very ill, and I want to go back and see it. One of the family members said with tears in his eyes.

"Then you can't go!" Zhao Yukun said.

"But the head of the family ......" Before the family could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Mingwei.

"Don't talk about it, nothing else, just go back. Zhao Yukun said.

The two family members had no choice but to go back.

After the two family members went back, Zhao Mingwei walked over.

Zhao Mingwei said: "Father, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Yukun said: "Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "No, I have been in my room for the past few days, of course I go out for dinner. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "If there is anything uncomfortable to say, do you know?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "I know. Don't worry, my body is so strong, that thing called the plague can't defeat me. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "Don't talk like that, you know?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay, got it." ”

Zhao Yukun said: "You go to the Rejuvenation Hall immediately, find Doctor Sun to check on you, if Doctor Sun says it's okay, you go out, leave Ten Thousand Sword City, go to Dragon Buddha Province, and find a medicine called Tianlong Cao, this medicine can treat the poison in your Uncle Zhao Guang's body." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Do you want to go now?"

Zhao Yukun said: "Yes, the sooner the better." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "The current Zhao family can't do without people?"

Zhao Yukun said: "That's why I let you go, but the others have no way to leave." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Got it." ”

Zhao Yukun asked again: "Your friend, how are you now?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "That friend?"

Zhao Yukun said: "Is it who lives in our house now?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "You mean Mark, now he is also very good, and he is in love with Xia Jia." ”

Zhao Yukun said: "Who is Xia Jia?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "It's a maid in our family, and the two of them seem to like each other very much. ”

Hearing Zhao Mingwei say this, a smile finally appeared on Zhao Yukun's expressionless face. This incident is the best thing he has heard in the past few days.

Zhao Yukun usually doesn't keep a straight face, but he has been keeping a straight face for the past few days, without any expression on his face. Because he is so tired these days, he can't eat well, and he can't sleep well. Every day, Dr. Sun had to report to him the death toll in the Zhao Mansion today.

The number of deaths is increasing day by day. In the dead of night, he always couldn't sleep, and when he lay on the bed, he felt that the dead maids in the Zhao Mansion were circling around his bed. He wasn't a timid man, but this time he was a little scared.
