Chapter 681: The stammering boy came to take his life
His large, calloused hand suddenly bound her fingers, covering her fingers like that, slowly moving the white fingertips, and letting the fingertips scratch his handsome face little by little......
This time, the cold touch of his fingers touching his skin, Su Zhenzhen really felt it. It made her feel the burning sensation on her face even stronger, and his palm was so strong that she tried to pull her fingers out of his, but found that she couldn't.
He could only let him take her fingers and scratch his face, and finally her soft fingertips gently fell on his lips, a green onion white and a light red reflected in one place, which was so eye-catching and beautiful.
Su Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, no longer struggling to withdraw her fingers, only to feel that those fingers seemed to be burned by fire, which made her at a loss......
"I'm thinking about it, too, because the plague that is spreading in the village seems to be very unusual, not just the plague, malaria, or anything like that."
"I've heard before that the plague that has affected many villages seems to be related to gold mining under government control......
"Oh? I know that. A large amount of gold mines were found in the southern frontier, and the imperial court unified the special personnel in charge of this matter, and sent people to dig in this southern frontier...... But how can digging for gold cause a plague? Wei Han wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered.
"Let's find someone to ask!" Su Zhenzhen also felt that this matter was strange, and it was not enough to judge in her heart, so she still needed to listen to what the people in this village had to say.
However, they walked the whole Yao Village and did not find a single figure, seeing that it was almost noon, a lot of blue smoke suddenly rose on the ground, and the air was also filled with a strong smell of earth and gold, which made people's throat and nasal cavity very uncomfortable.
"It's dangerous here, get out of here!" Su Zhenzhen looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes shrunk.
With that, she pulled Wei Han and ran briskly towards the outside of the village, and escaped from the village after a while.
The two of them stopped panting, Su Zhenzhen looked sideways at Wei Han next to her, but found that a faint layer of earthy gold had floated on his face, and she couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart......
Su Zhenzhen hurriedly helped Wei Han sit under a tree. However, in just a moment, an extremely faint blue smoke appeared on Wei Han's head, and the color of earth and gold on his face became heavier, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
She hurriedly took out Manzhu Sawa powder and Caowu, knowing that these two medicines could be used as an antidote to the plague, but she knew that she must control the dosage of Caowu, this herb is slightly poisonous, and if you don't get it right, it will be poisoned.
Wei Han's condition could not be delayed, Su Zhenzhen looked at the blue smoke steaming from his head, her expression was complicated, her eyes were sharp, and now she could only try it according to her own experience.
Su Zhenzhen made him half-lean on her body to take the medicine for him, and began to carefully observe the changes in him.
Before taking the medicine, Wei Han's eyes were closed, and he looked very uncomfortable. After taking the medicine for about two quarters of an hour, he saw that the smoke on his head was steaming more severely, and the earthy gold on his face was getting heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Su Zhenzhen's eyes flashed with suspicion, the smoke dissipating from his head should be a sign that the epidemic has been driven away, and the earthy gold on his face is a sign of the strength of the disease.
But why does the blue smoke evaporate outward, but the color of the earth and gold on the face does not decrease but increases? This doesn't make sense!
Su Zhenzhen looked at Wei Han, whose face was getting more and more yellow, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry, could it be that this medicine didn't work for his illness?
And the expression on Wei Han's face became even more painful at this time, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were furrowed, as if he was suffering great pain.
When Su Zhenzhen saw him like this, she was in a mess for a while, how could this be good, did she want to watch him die in front of her?
Just when Su Zhenzhen didn't know what to do, she heard the man speak weakly:
"I've got a little pill bottle in my belt, help me get it out."
Hearing him say this, Su Zhenzhen hurriedly and obediently went to his waist to grope, maybe a little nervous, she didn't touch it a few times.
Seeing that more pain appeared on the man's face, she easily touched the small medicine bottle around his waist, and for a moment forgot the embarrassment of looking for medicine on someone just now, and immediately took out a pill and put it into his mouth.
The pill that Su Zhenzhen took out was clear and clear, if she guessed correctly, it should be a pill specially made for him by Baili Xunfeng with Ice Lotus and Ghost Grass.
Wei Han swallowed the pill, and after about a quarter of an hour, the earthy yellow color on his face began to fade little by little, and his expression slowly relaxed, no longer as painful as at the beginning.
The blue smoke rising from his head became even thicker at this time, and Su Zhenzhen could still smell the strange smell of burning metal even though she covered her mouth and nose.
"Zhenzhen, stay away from me, beware of infection!" He reminded again, and there was an unconcealed weakness in his voice, as if he had experienced a battle.
"I've also taken some medication and it should be fine." Su Zhenzhen saw that he had finally turned back from the ghost gate, and her eyes showed joy.
After a while, the loess color on Wei Han's face faded, and the smoke on his head gradually faded, and finally all disappeared.
Su Zhenzhen found him a comfortable position for him to lie down and asked, "How are you feeling now?" β
"It's okay, but my head still hurts a little." He looked up and replied, his brow furrowed slightly, as if to confirm the truth of what he had said.
Now that the incense pieces in Su Zhenzhen's baggage have run out, she has not had time to make new ones; I have already eaten one of the Ice Lotus Pill just now, so I should not take it again. The rest also had nothing left to refresh him.
"Why don't I rub it for you?" Su Zhenzhen asked him tentatively, although this method is a bit earthy, it should be the fastest effective.
"No, I've just been infected with the epidemic, and I don't know if it's clean or not, you can't get too close to me!" Wei Han said, and withdrew his body again, farther away from Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen couldn't, so she could only go to the woods farther away and pick some mint leaves and let him chew them in his mouth to refresh himself.
Seeing that Wei Han's body couldn't go to the next village, Su Zhenzhen could only accompany him to find a place to rest first, and then make plans.
The reason why Wei Han was more susceptible to the plague than her may have something to do with the stubborn head disease he had before. And he was invaded by the qi of the golden earth, and when he used Manzhu Sawa and Caowu, his symptoms were even more serious, probably because of his head disease.
The qi of gold and earth is the poison of ascending impetuousness, and the ice lotus and ghost grass are both things that suppress the sedimentation, so they are finally restrained.
"Now it seems that we should no longer go into the villages to "survey the scene", but should find out the source of the golden plague! Su Zhenzhen thought to herself.
If you want to investigate the root cause, you should start with Nanjun Castle Taishou.
Thinking about it, Wei Han definitely didn't want to reveal her identity here, but how could she gain the trust of the other party, she was a civilian, and how could she let people willingly tell her those inside stories.
Wei Han looked at the two guards like this, his eyes were sharp, and he was about to show signs of anger.
saw Su Zhenzhen take out a token in her hand and send it to one of the guards, and the guard immediately changed his expression after reading it, and obediently went in to report.
Wei Han just wanted to ask, but saw Su Zhenzhen smile slyly at him and said, "Childe doesn't have to care, it's fake." β
Wei Han had a noncommittal expression on his face, how could her little trick escape his eyes.
The two of them lived in the Taishou Mansion in this way, and the Nanjun City Taishou surnamed Zhang and Ziqian were named Ziqian, and their names sounded gentle, and they looked honest, but they were very sleek and old-fashioned when they spoke, and the official clichΓ©s were also leaky.
Su Zhenzhen was not ambiguous, tried her best to deal with him, and asked Taishou to arrange the best rest place and the best doctor for her friend.
Wei Han only quietly watched Su Zhenzhen's "performance", and easily did not interject, and sometimes it was a pity to say a sentence or two.
The topic went around and around, and before Su Zhenzhen could lead the topic to the gold mine, Zhang Taishou seemed to be unable to hold back, and said: "This time, Lord Su came here as a special envoy on behalf of Lord Taiwei, is it ...... Coming for the gold mines? β
"Hmm...... But for this matter! Lord Zhang doesn't have to be polite, just call him the next son. Su Zhenzhen replied that she would have to play a full set of acts, and she would accompany him to play once.
Su Zhenzhen didn't expect that this mining matter was really within the jurisdiction of Taiwei Situ Lan, it was really a blind cat that touched a dead mouse, so she touched it right.
"This gold mining has been going on for a long time, but Gongzi doesn't know that the plague caused by this has caused many villagers to die in the villages around Nanjun Town, and some villages are now empty, which is really sad to say! Today, the medicine that can control the plague is also in short supply......"
"Digging for gold causes a plague? What's going on, haven't you looked into the reason for it? β
"This ...... It's very strange to say, this strange thing is really embarrassing to mention in front of a court envoy like Su Gongzi. The adult said, with a hint of horror on his face.
"It's okay, my lord." Su Zhenzhen was very interested, she couldn't think of why digging a gold mine could dig up the plague, and she was trying to solve the mystery.
"How so? It seems that it has touched the unclean ghosts under the mine, and they have come to seek revenge. I said, don't be upset, it may be that the gold mining of the imperial court has touched the unjust souls underground, and it may not be ......" Zhang Taishou said, the look of horror on his face became heavier. It was as if there was some kind of grievance in front of him.
Before Su Zhenzhen could answer, he said again: "Gongzi doesn't know, every time before starting mining, he ordered the following to be sacrificed with live animals, for fear of alarming the soul of an ancestor underground. β
Su Zhenzhen and Su Zhenzhen both stroked the corners of their foreheads at the same time, especially Su Zhenzhen, she looked at the appearance of this Taishou, and almost didn't laugh out loud, this huge county city Taishou is so beprising and confusing the public, but it really hurts those ordinary people.
She believed that there was something strange that caused this incident, but it didn't seem to be as simple and crude as this Taishou said, and there was no basis for facts.
Seeing that Zhang Taishou couldn't ask anything here, Su Zhenzhen didn't ask him anymore, and with the identity of this envoy who was okay for the time being, she was going to go to the gold mining site to see it in person......
Su Zhenzhen felt as if some kind of truth was emerging little by little, although she couldn't catch it yet, but there was a little sign, and at this juncture, she couldn't relax.
And this plague and gold mining are related to the lives of so many people, she doesn't know if such a thing will happen in the future, but looking at the appearance of Zhang Taishou, it makes people feel at ease.
Her idea of going to the mining ground in person was strongly opposed by Wei Han.
"Don't go, since the source of the plague may be there, it must be very dangerous!"
Su Zhenzhen saw that this man had committed that domineering power again, and she was not to be outdone: "I know you are worried about me." But you're not one of mine, are you a little too lenient? β
She hated his unquestionable appearance, who was she Su Zhenzhen, she was not the eldest lady of the official family who would rely on others and listen to others' arrangements.
She can only make her own decisions, and now that she wants to investigate, she has been on a trip for a few days, and if she can find out the case early, she can go back and let Lord Taiwei fulfill his promise.
After becoming a female official in the court, she has the capital to settle accounts with the scum of the family who harmed the original owner, how can he easily sabotage her plan.
