"Yexun, how much time do I have left on this trip?"

Ye Xun re-planned the route for her, starting from Jifeng County to Liujiazhuang, the trip took three days, and in the end, she could only stay in the village for four days at most.

She needs to find out the source of the plague and prescribe it, and the time is urgent.

Several people set off again and headed for Taiping Village, and after a period of day and night travel, they finally arrived at the entrance of the village in the middle of the night.

Soldiers have been transferred to the village to station, and Bai Zhi is the first pharmacist to enter the village for free treatment, and is led into a temporary tent by the soldiers.

Liu Ruyan and Shen Yanchu stayed next door to him.

Early the next morning, she brought back a bucket of water from the river and walked into the tent where Bai Zhi stayed.

"You mean, maybe someone has poisoned the water?" Bai Zhi asked solemnly.

Liu Ruyan nodded: "The villagers said that they had seen Yun Niang by the river before the outbreak of the epidemic, so I wanted to verify it and see if this water was poisonous." ”

Bai Zhi immediately fetched a live fish from the soldiers, put it in the water, and then tested it with a silver needle......

Half an hour later, he shook his head: "I tried it with the poison test method, and this water is non-toxic. ”

"Still." He continued, "Actually, the people in the village only eat the well, and the river outside the poplar forest is used for, or ...... Throwing corpses. ”

"Throwing corpses?" Shen Yanchu took over, "No wonder the river is a cemetery. ”

"Because this river comes from Tianchi on the mountain, according to the custom of Yanglinpo, the guilty will be thrown into the river."

Liu Ruyan thought thoughtfully, since the theory of poisoning didn't work, she thought of the mysterious woman in the forest in an instant, could it be that she was here to seek revenge?

"I'll have to ask somebody, maybe I'm missing something." She put on her robe, got up, and went out of the tent.

Shen Yanchu also followed.

In the village of Nuoda, the villagers who have not contracted the disease still live in the village, and the sick are concentrated in a camp.

She put on a muslin cloth to cover her mouth and nose, and then opened a tent.

The patients in this tent had the mildest symptoms, and there were ten people in the tent, all women and children, and Liu Ruyan sat down next to a young girl.

Shen Yanchu stood at the door waiting, he tilted his head slightly, and lowered his cold eyes.

The girl in the account had never seen Gongzi Ruyu, and at that time she half-covered her eyes and looked at the door with a shy expression.

Shen Motou's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his cold aura was rising, so he simply turned his back and looked at the remnant clouds floating in the sky: "I'll wait outside, and call me again if I have something." ”

Liu Ruyan sighed and looked at the woman in front of her: "Come here for the epidemic, forgive me for taking the liberty of saying it, can the girl know Yun Niang?" ”

Hearing her ask, Youlan was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Naturally, I know, in previous years, we went into the forest to collect medicine together, and we could occasionally say a few words." ”

Liu Ruyan's expression was soothing: "Then do you know that there are any other relatives in Yun Niang's family, or someone with an extraordinary relationship?" ”

Youlan shook her head, and whispered as if she was reminiscing: "I only heard that Yun Niang is an orphan girl, plus she is withdrawn, she has never mentioned the past at home to me, and she usually doesn't see who she is close to, but the village is looking at her differently." ”

"The one who moved the family out of the village?" She asked.

"Exactly, Yun Niang has a bit of a marriage with this Lizheng, and she is familiar with that matter."

The woman said, as if evasive, lowered her head and gently opened her face.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan also turned her eyes away.

If it is said that the Tang Dynasty was open to the atmosphere, there were indeed many romantic affairs, but today, the chastity and reputation of women are more and more important.

She coughed lightly and continued to ask, "I don't know what this Yun Niang looks like?" ”

She asked casually, but Youlan replied ambiguously.

"She looks good, but her complexion is a little bit bad."

"It's just a cheap hoof, and there will be no peace after death." A young girl sitting not far away suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Ruyan followed the prestige and saw that the girl's face was yellow, but it was not difficult to see that it was a beautiful embryo.

The girl spoke again, and her voice was as melodious as the murmuring of water.

Liu Ruyan was interested and listened to her story.

"This Yun Niang was born with a sub-fox appearance, but she is a Zhizhi girl, who wears red and green all day long, and also learns from everyone in the city to show off the hairpins, and the honest man in Lizheng is fascinated, and she has to be accepted as a concubine. If you want me to say, it must be that she fell in love with Lang Jun from Youzhou and intended to seduce. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ruyan's eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were faint, and when she smiled slightly, she was stunning in an instant.

"How did you say Yun Niang seduced?"

The girl looked into her abyss-like eyes, her breath stagnated, Bai Yu's cheeks were red like fire, and she said timidly: "It is said that flies don't bite seamless eggs, isn't it just that she is lightly dressed and not good enough to check......

"That's it, Yun Niang's girl doesn't talk much, she has a lot more real eyes." The woman in the account interjected coldly, "If this matter had been replaced by another woman, she would have been martyred a long time ago, and only she was alive and well, maybe she was looking forward to the wild seed in her belly being born and flying on the branches to become a phoenix." ”

Others also chimed in: "It's shameless to lose your reputation and still have a face to live!" ”

"This cheap hoof is clearly a profligate, how can you know what kind of female virtue."

Liu Ruyan swept over everyone, and her eyes stayed on the girl with a delicate face: "The day Yun Niang's accident happened, but it was midsummer?" ”

The girl was stunned: "How do you know?" ”

Liu Ruyan didn't answer and asked: "How are you dressed?" ”

"On a hot day, it's naturally a light shirt and a thin skirt."

Liu Ruyan asked again: "If you want to go into the forest to collect medicine, for the sake of convenience, will the woman who picks the Zhizhi will roll up her cuffs?" ”

Youlan, who was sitting quietly, responded: "The cuffs of the Caizhi girl's clothes are not as long as the wrists, the skirt is no longer than the knees, and the trousers must be tightened. ”

"In that case." Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and swept her gaze over the people in the tent, "Everyone is dressed like this, why is it only judged that Yun Niang is a woman?" The thing in the forest, the fault is the son of the family, the sin of losing his conscience is unforgivable, why do you take a long time, do not help the weak and jealous, but repeatedly seriously hurt Yun Niang. ”

She said word by word, like a sharp sword, cutting people's hearts: "I don't know when a weak woman who has been violated has become a guilty person instead of a murderer. ”

"Shen Yanchu!" She raised her voice through the tent.

The curtain of the door was opened, and a man walked in, but he was dressed in a moon-white dark robe, with a demeanor like jade, and his steps were vigorous.

Liu Ruyan took a skirt from his hand, shook it in the air, and showed the things in his hand in front of everyone.

"That's what you say, shameless!"

Youlan raised her eyes almost at the same time.

I saw the apricot-colored skirt raised in her hand, from the placket to the skirt, there were all large and small patches, and the fabric was also the most simple ramie.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruyan took a few more clothes, all of which were old and shabby, and even the women in the village disdained them.

The faces of the crowd were colorful, and for a while, there was silence.

Liu Ruyan smiled coldly: "People are terrible." ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the tent.
