Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Last Side

In the evening, Leng Moxuan naturally stayed here to eat with Bai Yu, and the hot meals were served, which made the mouth water, unlike before, the table was basically full of Bai Yu's favorite food.

Leng Moxuan took a piece of fish meat and put it into Bai Yu's bowl, Bai Yu looked at Leng Moxuan strangely, he usually didn't want to be a sentimental person, why did he suddenly talk to himself like this today.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Yu said.

"There was a plague in Ling County, it was very serious, many people died, the emperor sent me to relieve the disaster, I am afraid it will be ...... this time"

It turned out that this was the case, Leng Moxuan was afraid that if he got sick, he would not be able to come back, this was the last time he saw Bai Yu.

"I'll go with you." Bai Yu said unhurriedly.

Leng Moxuan looked up at Bai Yu in a daze, she didn't expect her to say that she wanted to go with him, but there would be dead people at any time.

"No, you can't." Leng Moxuan rejected Bai Yu, he didn't want to expose her to that kind of danger as well.

"I have to go, I have to make sure you come back alive, or I'm not going to spend my whole life here." Bai Yu said.

"I'll assume that you care about me." The corners of Leng Moxuan's mouth rose.

Because the place where the epidemic occurred was some distance away from the capital, and I also knew that there must be a shortage of everything there now, so it took nearly two days for the next person to prepare the things that Leng Moxuan and Bai Yu were going to bring.

It was not yet dawn that day, the moonlight poured in through the window, Bai Yu had already gotten up and started to prepare, and then she walked through the courtyard of the Jinghong Pavilion, passed the garden of the Hou Mansion, and then came to the front hall, until she walked to the main entrance of the Hou Mansion.

Everything seemed so familiar, as if it was more familiar than the Ice Temple where she had lived for thousands of years, maybe she would never have to come back.

Leng Moxuan was already waiting at the door, it was autumn, the morning in the capital, especially when the sun did not rise, was still cold, but Bai Yu was wearing a little thin, not even a cloak.

Leng Moxuan took off his cloak and draped it on Bai Yu's body, "How did the subordinate serve, wearing such a thin dress." ”

"Actually, it's not cold, so I didn't let the green Qiaojia." Bai Yu lowered his head and watched Leng Moxuan carefully tie her cloak.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and when the carriage arrived, several servants stepped forward to load the large boxes containing things into the carriage.

Leng Moxuan helped Bai Yu into the carriage first, and then went up himself.

The carriage was covered with thick cushions, and even the feet were covered softly, because he got up too early, and not long after getting into the carriage, Bai Yu fell asleep.

Leng Moxuan was originally sitting opposite Bai Yu, seeing that she was sleeping swaying from side to side, so he sat down lightly so that Bai Yu could sleep on top of him.

Then Leng Moxuan softly instructed the groom to drive the car steady.

Bai Yu slept this night, not to mention how comfortable he was, just like sleeping on the clouds, and the warm sun shone on his body.

Bai Yu slept straight for a morning, and half of Leng Moxuan's body was almost numb by Bai Yu, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of waking Bai Yu.

At noon, stop at a tea stall for a short pause to have lunch.

Leng Moxuan's right hand couldn't be raised, but he was embarrassed to show it, sitting on the tea stall, pretending to be looking at the scenery.

Bai Yu's face turned red, and when he woke up, he leaned on Leng Moxuan's body, because he slept so soundly, saliva was about to flow onto Leng Moxuan's robe, and now he couldn't move his right arm, how could he not know what was going on.

Back in the carriage, Leng Moxuan didn't eat anything, because his hands couldn't do it.

Before Bai Yu got into the car, he bought some pastries and brought them, no one in the car looked at anyone, lowered his head, and there was a strange smell wafting in the air, a little sweet and a little sour, a little beautiful but a little embarrassing.

Bai Yu lowered his head and took out the pastry, and reached out to feed it to Leng Moxuan's mouth, Leng Moxuan thought that Bai Yu didn't see that his right hand couldn't move, and he was even more embarrassed when he looked at the pastry in front of him.

But he still opened his mouth to eat the pastry that Bai Yu fed him, because there were really not many opportunities like this, although it was not a problem for him to eat a pastry with his left hand, but he just wanted Bai Yu to feed him.

The carriage traveled for two days to Lingxian, the carriage entered the city from the west city gate, and the west city gate was guarded by two guards, and when they entered the city, there was no one on the street, and occasionally they would see a corpse covered with a white cloth.

It was a long time since no one came to greet them, but it was also a good thing, indicating that local officials were busy with the plague.

The carriage went straight to the county government of Lingxian County, and the county government was empty, Leng Moxuan was about to leave the county office, and a person hurriedly rushed in outside the county office, not tall or short, and his appearance was sven, and he was a scholar at first glance.

"Villain, Lin Ke, the chief bookkeeper of Ling County, has seen Xuanping Hou." And when he came in, he saluted.

"Get up, where is your county order?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, the people gathered at the east city gate, saying that they were going out of the city, and the county order took people to stop them."

"Let's go, let's take a look." Leng Moxuan said.

Saying that, Lin Ke took out two pieces of white cloth and gave them to Leng Moxuan and Bai Yu to cover their mouth and nose.

More than half of the people of Lingxian County gathered under the east city gate, and they all covered their faces with white cloths, and the people in front of them were crowded with people, and the people in front of them were so crowded that they couldn't stand steadily.

"Let us out, we don't want to wait here to die!" From time to time, such cries were heard from the crowd.

The county magistrate Huang Shen is of medium stature, with a square face and dark skin, not like a county magistrate, like a farmer who farms, with a half-white beard that reaches his neck.

He stood above the city gates, and kept persuading the people to return to their homes, but his hoarse and low voice was suddenly drowned out by the sound of the crowd, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

The family seemed to have just gotten the news, and they arrived in a hurry at this time, this is a family of three, the age of the man and the woman is in their twenties, and the man is holding a three-year-old girl in his arms.

Like the others, they squeezed forward desperately as soon as they came, and the child in the man's hand coughed violently, red blood coughed out of the child's mouth, and the white cloth around her mouth and nose was instantly dyed red.

As if struck by lightning, the man put the child in his hand on the ground, perhaps not directly throwing the child to the ground is already his greatest mercy.

The people around saw the blood on the white cloth on the child's face, and it was like seeing a flood beast, and the people who were still crowded just now suddenly quieted down and avoided the family from a distance.

The woman picked up the child with pity, the child had already fainted, and immediately several officials from Lingxian County rushed up to take the child away, and the woman tore and beat them to prevent them from taking the child.

"The boss, come and help, they want to take Qiao'er away." The woman hysterically turned to the man for help.
