Chapter 020: The Holy Maiden of Troubled Times (19) The People
Zhao Xinglan could have pretended to be surprised and innocent and asked, "Why did the Holy Maiden say this?" ”
Or the hippie smiled and said: "What is the matter, but it is a pity that I have failed the saint to be so elevated." ”
But he also understands that the girl in front of him not only has divine power, but also has a compassionate heart.
After only a pause of half a second, Zhao Xinglan put aside the mask of hypocrisy and replied frankly: "Yes, due to the topography, flash floods are rare in Yan Kingdom, but they occur in Zhao Country from time to time. So on the way I came, I was worried. ”
"There is a ...... Lose sleep over something? Bolan was a little surprised, but she did not hide the inquiring meaning in her clear and beautiful eyes.
"Yes, if there is an epidemic, the people will suffer, and they will naturally be worried."
Bolan blurted out: "Kening County belongs to Yan State, and the people of Ning County are all people of Yan State, not Zhao State." ”
Along the way, Bolan sensed that Zhao Xinglan had something on his mind, and just now he took the initiative to ask Ying to enter the city for the prince to appease the people. Zhao Xinglan is from Zhao State, he is the prince of the enemy country, and Bolan is inevitably suspicious of him and worried that he has other plans.
Bolan was not interested in knowing, but Bolan didn't want him to affect the innocent because of his selfish desires, and he was even more afraid that the people in the city would be used as weapons by him.
Zhao Xinglan's answer did not hesitate for a moment, he smiled faintly: "The people are the people, and they have nothing to do with national borders." ”
Bolan has seen Zhao Xinglan's cynical smile, seen his perfunctory smile, and pretended to laugh, but it is the first time to see his heartfelt smile.
Even if the smile is extremely faint, it is like the only twinkling star in the dark night, charming, eternal, and determined, and people can't take their eyes off it.
It turned out that Zhao Xinglan thought so. He risked his life and pretended to be the crown prince, but he wanted to convey love and hope, courage and strength to the people.
After learning the prince's words and deeds, Bolan once again had a harvest, Zhao Xinglan made her understand that some people are like a rough stone, if you have the patience to open it layer by layer, you can find that under his rough appearance, there is a diamond that is extremely bright.
"I'm narrow-minded." Bolan smiled too.
"The prince is here! The Holy Maiden is coming! ”
From the moment Zhao Xinglan and Bolan entered the city, they were welcomed by the people on both sides of the road.
The two did not ride in a sedan chair, but walked while smiling and waving to the people, accompanied by local officials such as the head of the household and the prefectural magistrate.
The situation in Ning County is much better than Bolan imagined, the post-disaster reconstruction is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the people who have lost their homes have been properly resettled.
The excited people all looked at the two with reverence and spontaneously followed behind them, forming a growing ranks.
Someone also began to communicate softly -
"Now that the epidemic has not disappeared, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Holy Maiden are willing to enter the city, which is really touching."
"This also shows that our epidemic here is not serious, otherwise how dare the prince and the holy woman take such a risk with such a precious body?"
"Makes sense! It must be like this! ”
"Hey, look at the Holy Maiden, she doesn't even wear protective clothing!"
"Rare and weird! The holy woman has divine power and is invincible to all poisons, so why be afraid of a small epidemic? ”
"Isn't that a true immortal? Obediently, my Wang Liu has also seen the immortals with his own eyes in his life, it's worth it, it's worth it! ”
……
In the past few days, the people of Ning County have experienced natural disasters and have been devastated. The epidemic is raging again, and many people's parents, wives and children are now lying in the treatment area to face the test of life and death, or waiting for the results in fear in the center of the quarantine area.
Outside the area, their families are worried and worried all the time.
Some people, under such a series of blows, have almost collapsed, and some people have gradually developed a feeling of despair.
At this moment, the prince and the holy woman calmly walked into the city, smiling without any guilt, and such an action, like a beam of light, shone into the hearts of many people, driving away some concealment, and injecting light and hope.
Soon, the crowd that followed discovered that the prince and the saint seemed to be more than simply walking around the street and looking around.
Did they go to the epicenter of the epidemic?
Idlers are not allowed to enter that area. The people could not continue to follow, and watched in amazement as the prince and the holy maiden stepped in without hesitation.
Bolan thought she would see some tragic images, but to her great delight, she was wrong again.
Although the haze of the epidemic is always around, the treatment area, the isolation area, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
Several famous doctors were reluctant to rest after boiling red eyes, and were concentrating on the pharmacy.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt wormwood, which made people feel inexplicably reassured.
A little boy under the age of ten was infected with the epidemic and was curled up in bed and sobbing softly. Zhao Xinglan walked over quickly, held his hand, and asked the doctor about the boy's condition.
The doctor sighed: "This is Xiaodong, after being infected with the epidemic, he is too nervous, he always misses his family, and his stomach has problems, and he always vomits most of the things he eats, especially medicine. ”
Xiao Dong felt the warm touch coming from his hand and couldn't help but turn around. A small face was tormented by pain, and his facial features were twisted together, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to make a noise to affect everyone, I tried hard to endure it, but it's just ...... It's ......."
Xiao Dong said timidly, his eyebrows full of forbearance.
"Xiaodong is a good boy who is sensible, hey!" The nearby patient sighed, his eyes slightly reddened.
Bolan felt so sad that she seemed to have a knife piercing, and she hurriedly asked Taishang Laojun: [Grandpa Er, can you help Xiaodong? By the way, do you have an antidote that can cure the disease? 】
Taishang Laojun said helplessly: [It's a pity, Guanyin Dashi has laid a barrier, I can only help you, not others. 】
[Hey...... All right. Bolan froze, but soon accepted the reality.
Since she can't use her divine power, she has to think of another way to help Xiao Dong. As the doctor said just now, Xiaodong is mainly unable to eat normally due to emotional stress, if he can be calmed down, can the symptoms be improved?
Thinking of this, Bolan immediately sat on Xiao Dong's other side, also held one of his hands, and her eyes were full of encouragement: "Xiao Dong, don't feel guilty. You're already great. Now what you need to do is to relax your mind, eat more to improve your resistance, and drink medicine on time to suppress germs. That way, it won't hurt so much. ”
Zhao Xinglan also followed: "Yes Xiaodong, although your family can't meet you, they are very concerned about you. In order to be reunited with them as soon as possible, you also have to cheer up. ”
"You ...... Who is it? ”
Xiao Dong slowly opened his eyes, on the left was a fairy-like Bolan, and on the right was a fairy-like Zhao Xinglan, he was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he was sick and confused and dreaming, so he dreamed of two immortals at once.
