This is a bunch of nonsense!

The angry messengers of justice felt that they had been humiliated, and their anger suddenly soared.

A shrill female voice from the crowd pierced the night: "Burn her!" That demonic demagoguery is powerful, don't be deceived by her! Burn her! ”

"Burn her! Burn her! Countless people responded in unison, and the cries were like a tide.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his hand again and stroked his sideburns and plucked a beaded flower.

Screams immediately rang out from the crowd opposite, and the nearby torches were suddenly crowded together, pushing and shoving only chaos, and there was no order at all.

Ruan Qingzhi's voice overshadowed everyone, as sharp as an arrow: "Lin Chunni, this is the third time I have spared your life, and it is also the last time!" I used to look down on you, and I didn't even bother to kill you; Now congratulations, I can afford you! ”

Under the light of the fire, the girl who fell to the ground and was trampled on her leg was full of horror, her hands folded on her chest to protect her heart, and several people next to her refused to stand up even if they pulled desperately.

What it looks like for a person's heart to be pierced by a hairpin, she had seen it just now. Now she suspected that the pearl flower would be pierced in her heart.

But no.

Through the gap in the crowd, Lin Chunni saw the girl who was half a year younger than her elegantly raised her hand and put the beaded hairpin back into her hair.

So, she just walked back and forth from life to death and from death to life.

Lin Chunni suddenly felt aggrieved, and couldn't help crying.

Several men next to her were anxious and angry, and hurriedly dragged her up with all hands and feet, and slapped her in the face: "Useless thing!" What howl! What are you capable of? ”

Lin Chunni's cry was lower, but there was still a suppressed whimper squeezing out of her throat.

Ruan Qingzhi said coldly: "Are you still embarrassed to cry?" A girl who hasn't left the cabinet, a needlewoman who doesn't do it, can't earn money to support her family, and she doesn't sleep at night and follows a group of stinky men out to smash the shop and beat people and kill people, you are really good! If you don't accept me, you have to compare with me everywhere, but you compare with me to heal and save people! You won't! You're only going to hurt people! ”

Lin Chunni was suddenly so angry that she forgot to cry, and jumped to her feet and shouted: "You, you won't save people!" You're a wicked! You were dead the other day, but you came back to life at dawn! Dr. Ye saw it with his own eyes! ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned, and suddenly realized: "Doctor Ye? Oh, the quack doctor who insisted I was dead the last time I fell asleep? Why is he on your team? He almost buried me alive with His Royal Highness the King, why didn't he die in shame? ”

Doctor Ye was really in the crowd, and immediately jumped out when he heard the words: "The old man's medical skills will definitely not be wrong!" You were clearly dead last time! Where did you come from, a monster attached to Miss Ruan to make waves! ”

"You're a good doctor?" Ruan Qingzhi caught a key point that Doctor Ye didn't expect, and chased after him relentlessly: "Since your medical skills are good, shouldn't you be busy treating people at this time?" How do you still have time to make trouble? It can be seen that your medical skills and medical ethics are not very good! ”

"You ......" Doctor Ye was annoyed and angry, "Getting rid of you demon is the biggest thing in Yangcheng today!" If you are interested, you had better cut yourself off at once, lest you stain our hands! ”

As soon as he responded, someone around him immediately shouted: "Break it yourself!" Break it yourself! ”

Ruan Qingzhi laughed angrily at them, and raised his hand to stroke his sideburns again.

Sure enough, the crowd was in an uproar again, some people staggered back, and some people stretched out the torches in their hands, as if they could burn Ruan Qingzhi to death from a few feet away.

Ruan Qingzhi's face was calm and relaxed, but his heart became more and more anxious.

After waiting for so long, no rescuers appeared, and Yehan did not come back. If there is no turnaround, there is still no suspense about the final outcome of this matter.

What to do?

I don't know if Chu Weiyang's people are clever enough, and if this little effort is enough for them to escort patients and transfer them to other places? Is that end of the alley guarded? Will there be a mob going around from there......

The more Ruan Qingzhi thought about it, the more he felt that he had no score in his heart. At this time, the little girl in Banyue's arms suddenly moved and cried.

Ruan Qingzhi was startled at first, and then his eyes lit up and he hurriedly turned around: "Is Xiaohui awake?" ”

"Nope!" Banyue only stared at the mob in front of her, so anxious that tears fell: "It's burning more and more, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was disappointed, and his expression suddenly darkened.

By this time, the mob behind him had once again stirred up, waving torches in their hands and shouting some random slogans before rushing forward.

Ruan Qingzhi hesitated slightly, but still reached out to take Xiaohui over, and looked down intently to check the rotten sores that were almost all over her back.

A group of mobs behind him took the opportunity to crash through the guards and rushed over, and the torches in their hands were about to poke Ruan Qingzhi's back.

The two guards never dared to kill the "innocent people", so they could only resist with their scabbards, and suddenly they were in danger, and finally simply stood side by side in front of Ruan Qingzhi, preparing to die in front of her.

"Miss, be careful—" Banyue screamed and lunged forward.

Ruan Qingzhi hugged Xiaohui and turned around suddenly, knocked away the two guards and went straight to the burning torches: "Come on!" Let's take a gamble and see how long you can live after I die! ”

A flame caught fire on his body, and Ruan Qingzhi flicked his sleeves and fell out, and his footsteps did not stop at all.

On the contrary, the other party somehow showed timidity, and began to retreat under his feet.

Ruan Qingzhi stepped forward with Xiaohui in his arms, his face was murderous: "Yangcheng is in trouble, I didn't want to meddle in things, it was His Royal Highness King Li who wanted to keep you alive, so I bothered to work hard and sleepless here to think about letting you live!" Now, if you don't want to live, why should I bother with it! Isn't it just a death, I'll accompany you! Anyway, it's better for me to be burned to death than for you to die of illness! ”

With her footsteps, the long river of torches was torn open again, and her face was disturbed by the firelight.

Someone was unconvinced and shouted at the top of his voice: "You die you, what's the matter with us!" If you're dead, we'll be safe! ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled coldly and held up the child in his arms to show them: "Do you know this child?" This is Xiaohui, the daughter of the Xie family in Ximen Lane, who was a lively little cute person three days ago, you can take a look at her now! When I die, and when you get sick one by one and no one cares about it, it will only be a hundred times worse than what she is now! ”

Xiaohui's appearance, the other party has naturally seen it. However, everyone was immersed in the excitement of getting rid of the "demons" before, and it was not until this moment that they suddenly remembered that the plague was contagious.

Suddenly, the righteous men with torches fled like rats, and they were in a mess.

Ruan Qingzhi stopped and stood still, sneering.

With Yun and Yue, he hurriedly followed, crying with joy: "Miss, they ran away!" ”

"They won't run, and it's not necessarily a good thing to run." Ruan Qingzhi said calmly.

Sure enough, there was no way for the team of so many people to run away at once, and those in front only withdrew a dozen steps before they squeezed together with those behind, and they never thought about moving a little more.

When they had to stop, they had time to think, and their thoughts quickly turned: "No, what are we going to run?" Even if it's a plague, let's burn them far away! Torches thrown over! Throw it at them! Throw it through the wall and into the yard! ”

When Xianyun Banyue heard these proposals, she immediately became very nervous, and hurriedly blocked Ruan Qingzhi behind her, crying in a hurry.

At this time, Xiaohui made a fuss again, obviously not waking up, but her little arms and legs kept kicking, and her strength was not small. Ruan Qingzhi almost couldn't hold her several times, so she had to sit down on the spot, put the child on her lap and hold it down, and asked Qianyun urgently: "Did you bring my silver needle?" ”

Xianyun looked around uncertainly, panicking: "I brought it, but ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the end had turned into a scream, for several torches had already been smashed.

With Yun Banyue instinctively wanted to hide, but in an instant, she realized that Ruan Qingzhi was behind them, and she was in a dilemma.

The hesitant torch had already fallen, and at the last moment, two guards rushed forward and swung their long knives to smash the torch open, and in the next moment more flames flew in this direction.

Sooner or later, there will be a time when you can't hide.

Banyue couldn't help but start screaming and crying, but Ruan Qingzhi was only busy stretching out his hand to Xieyun: "Silver needle, give it to me!" ”

"Miss!" Xianyun also cried, "We're all going to be burned to death, what's the use of you asking for silver needles!" ”

"Xiaohui is dying!" Ruan Qingzhi yelled angrily, "Just one breath, swallow it and die!" ”

Yiyun was anxious and afraid, but in the end, he still shivered, took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to her.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't care about the others, and calmly put Xiaohui on his lap, picked up the silver needle and pierced it.

Behind him, Yiyun and Banyue each took the scabbard from one of the guards, and hurriedly blocked the torch for Ruan Qingzhi, and at the same time had to protect the little spirit in Qianyun's arms, which was full of dangers.

Finally, when one of the other party's torches flew over from a very tricky angle, Yiyun staggered and didn't block it in time, and the tongue of fire mercilessly climbed onto Ruan Qingzhi's shoulder.

"Miss!" Accompanied by the moon, she screamed hoarsely.

At the same time, in the dark alley, the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air whistled.

By the time the whistle-like sound had fallen, the man who had thrown the torch earlier had been nailed to the wall.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence, and dozens of horsemen leaped out of the deep alley. The first one rode a horse and galloped with a sword, and rushed straight at Ruan Qingzhi over the torches that were piled up on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the black cloak had fallen on her shoulder with the sound of the wind.

The flame in his shoulder was extinguished in an instant, and the sharp pain had just hit.

Ruan Qingzhi shook his left arm uncomfortably and continued to bow his head to administer the needle. Next to him, Yun Banyue had already sat down on the ground and cried.

Seeing that Ruan Qingzhi didn't have time to deal with him, Ye Han immediately raised his head again, looked around, and ordered sharply: "The chaotic people of Yangcheng do not obey the crime and the bandits, so order the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army to disperse immediately!" If there is anyone who does not retreat, kill! ”

The guards replied violently: "Order!" Riding horses and raising swords and rushing towards the ranks of the rebels, more than 1,000 people on the other side were suddenly silent.

Northwest Army.

These guards, who were scolded by them as "lackeys" and "dog minions", and who chased and fought for several days unscrupulously, were actually not guards, but the Northwest Army!

Defend the homeland and defend the country, the battle-hardened Northwest Army!

The change of identity was just a matter of Ye Han's words, but none of the more than 1,000 people present dared to question it.

It's just because at this moment, the momentum around those "guards" has changed. No longer docile and no longer hesitant, only a fierce murderous aura is coming, as if even the eyes are bloody.

They, here.

Who would dare to face the Northwest Army officers and soldiers who are one hundred and hundred?

Instantly, the ranks of more than a thousand mobs were like a flock of birds. Some people threw away their torches and turned to flee, some people sat down directly on the ground with weak legs, and some people rushed forward and knelt on the ground and shouted "Your Highness spares your life".

So Ruan Qingzhi finally knew that His Royal Highness King Li, who had the Northwest Army in hand, was the "His Highness", otherwise it would not be a fart.

Ye Han heard her muttering and was overjoyed: "Are you done?" ”

"No," Ruan Qingzhi didn't raise his head, "I only saved my breath, and I have to wait for a while to survive." You tell those 'bandits' not to go, I have something to say. ”

Ye Han immediately changed the order, and asked the soldiers to order each other to wait in place, and none of them were allowed to leave.

The other party suddenly panicked, and under the pressure of the Northwest Army, he didn't dare to say much, so he had to stand still obediently, as honest as a quail waiting to be slaughtered.

Ruan Qingzhi continued to administer needles to Xiaohui while asking Ye Han, "How is it in the yard?" Did a torch just throw it in? Is the house on fire? ”

Ye Han hurriedly said: "Chu Weiyang and they have been holding it up, the fire was extinguished in time, and no one was injured." ”

Ruan Qingzhi hummed and didn't ask more, Ye Han seemed to have something to ask her, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it, and he was a little anxious and circled around her.

Of course, the others didn't dare to say much, so one or two thousand people at the scene could only stand in a daze, watching Ruan Qingzhi sit on the ground with a gray face and give people needles.

At this time, Yun Banyue was also tired of crying, and stood up with each other's arms and walked in front of the mob.

When the other party saw the child in Xianyun's arms, he immediately pushed back again.

Seeing this, Banyue mocked loudly: "What are you hiding? Afraid of contagion? Let me tell you, my young lady and His Royal Highness King Li have been eating and living with these patients for four whole days! Your lives are worth money, but aren't the lives of His Royal Highness King Li and my young lady worth? We have a good life, but what are we suffering here for? - To save you bastards who have no heart and no liver! ”

"But she wasn't cured either!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted in a thick voice.

Banyue suddenly jumped to her feet in anger: "Are you going to burn her if you don't cure the disease?" There are so many doctors in the world, which one can really cure the disease and bring the dead back to life? Are you all going to burn them! ”

The other party retreated again, and there were still people who muttered with little confidence: "But she is a demon......

"She's a demon?" Ye Han took over the conversation and sneered, "This king didn't know that there were such stupid demons in the world, and he stayed up day and night thinking about saving people, not to mention, and he was set on fire by you idiots!" What is she trying to do? ”

No one dared to argue with his words at the moment, and the street became quieter, except for the sound of torches burning in the wind.

Everyone gradually felt that the night wind was too cold, and their necks and soles of their feet were frozen.

Ruan Qingzhi's side did not move for a long time, Ye Han obviously planned to wait all the time, but those mobs were afraid and anxious, and they wanted to flee.

This situation lasted for half an hour, and even the clouds and the moon were a little anxious. If it weren't for the long knives of the soldiers of the Northwest Army lying horizontally in front of them, those mobs would have been unable to resist and commit murder again.

After the drums of the fourth watch sounded, everyone heard a muffled cry at the same time.

Ye Han immediately turned his horse to Ruan Qingzhi, and saw that the latter was quickly putting away the silver needle. The little girl lying on her lap wrinkled her little face and cried aggrievedly: "Mother, I'm hungry!" ”

The crowd was shocked.

Not only were the soldiers overjoyed, but even the mob couldn't help but rush forward.

Some people of the age know that if a person who has been asleep for a long time wakes up and starts to cry hunger, his condition is likely to take a turn for the better.

They had seen with their own eyes that the child was dying, but now they couldn't bring him back to life.

Ruan Qingzhi handed Xiaohui to Banyue, and he stretched out his hand to Ye Han pitifully: "Come and help!" I can't stand up! ”

Ye Han hurriedly jumped off the horse and waited for her to stand up, only to realize that she was not coquettish, but her legs were pressed by Xiaohui and could not move, and she had already frozen on the ground for a long time.

"You're really ......" Ye Han's heart was sour, and he was reluctant to let go of her for a long time.

Ruan Qingzhi knocked him twice on the back and said with a smile: "Don't hold it, do the right thing first!" ”

Ye Han subconsciously asked: "Then, go back and hug casually?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Ye Han was in a good mood and laughed.

With a cough beside him, Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly pushed away the night cold and turned to walk towards the mob.

The soldiers got out of the way and supported them not far away, until Ye Han caught up and took Ruan Qingzhi's hand.

Ruan Qingzhi blushed slightly, but he didn't shake it off, and looked at everyone calmly: "I'll explain." You are wrong when you say that I am not cured. I was cured, just now. ”

Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Xiaohui in Banyue's arms. I saw that although the little girl looked weak, she raised her head vigorously and her eyes were flexible, and she was obviously not a dying person. Especially compared with the sleepy little spirit in the arms of the clouds, it is even more vibrant.

It's really irrefutable.

Ruan Qingzhi continued, "Some of you may know that Xiao Hui was already extremely ill when she was sent to me, and she was almost the sickest of the Lai Hui Inn. Now I can heal her, and of course I can heal others. ”

There was a chatter in the crowd, followed by a buzz.

Ruan Qingzhi waited quietly for a while and saw no questioning, then continued: "What I want to tell you at this moment is that I can cure the plague. ”

The crowd fell silent, and many pairs of eyes stared blankly at Ruan Qingzhi, as if she had said something difficult to understand.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled and raised his voice: "I have said this sentence many times before, but no one believes it, and I want to say it again tonight: I can cure it!" Within three days at the latest, the first patients would be able to leave the inn alive; If I send them in the future, I can guarantee that I will let them out alive......"

"You, is that true?" A voice of ecstasy came far across the crowd.

Ruan Qingzhi was still calm, and did not look at the person who spoke: "Naturally, take it seriously." So you don't have to worry about Yangcheng being burned down, and the people of Southern Qi don't have to smell the sores and change color. Because, Nanqi has me. ”

The crowd was filled with the sound of gasps. After a moment of silence, I don't know who took the lead, and more and more people knelt down.

Ruan Qingzhi's expression was indifferent: "Also, I want to explain one more sentence: I haven't healed anyone in the previous four days, and it's not because I don't have good medical skills. As you may have heard, when the plague broke out more than a decade ago, the sick people usually couldn't survive for two or three days. The fact that I keep them alive today is proof of my medical skills. ”

This time, someone finally came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, we believe that Miss Ruan's medical skills are true!" You will definitely be able to cure the plague and save Yang City! ”

Ruan Qingzhi glanced at the place where the voice came from, smiled mockingly, and continued: "In addition, you also know that plague outbreaks are not picky, and often the disease is one family, one street, one square, and one city, so it is only a matter of a day or two for it to spread throughout the city. The reason why you have not been ill this time, and the reason why you still have the strength to come to me to trouble me to this day, is because I have already prepared a medicine powder to prevent the plague, so that His Royal Highness King Li and the soldiers of the Northwest Army can spread all over Yangcheng at night. If you don't believe me, you can pay attention to whether there is still medicinal powder in the corners and corners of some remote streets and alleys that has not been blown away by the wind. ”

Everyone was stunned again when they heard this.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled, and his expression was not polite: "I don't say these words to invite merit, and I don't expect you to believe it. I just think you should know that your lives were saved by me and His Royal Highness King Li. If it weren't for us, the souls of the people of Yangcheng would have filled the underworld at this moment! ”

She crackled as she finished speaking, and there was silence in the streets and alleys in front of her.

Ruan Qingzhi waited quietly for a while, flicked his sleeves as if he was a little disappointed, and said to Ye Han: "It's clear." Let's go home! ”

"Okay." Ye Han hugged her without hesitation and turned around.

Someone behind him shouted "Wait", and hurriedly rushed over and asked, "Miss Ruan, can all those patients who came to the inn be cured?" That...... How long will we not have to worry about being burned? When will the gates be opened? We really don't all have to die? ”

"I said," Ruan Qingzhi turned to look at him, "as long as you don't go around smashing and looting, Yangcheng should be the same as usual, how to live your life." ”

Ye Han added: "The closure of Yangcheng is not because of the plague, but because the whole city has fled. You have a good life, but you want to go out and be a troublemaker, of course the court will not agree. ”

The mob was stunned.

Ye Han hugged Ruan Qingzhi tightly, and said loudly: "Let's go back when it's not early!" Whether you want to be a good citizen or a chaotic citizen tomorrow is up to you! ”
