Chapter Eighty-Seven: Something Strange About Illness

Pei Yun returned to the inn, still distracted.

It was already the middle of the night, and she was curled up in the futon, but she couldn't sleep for a long time.

She kept thinking back to what Gu Rin said to her on the moonlight corridor.

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

For some reason, Gu Rin would inexplicably explain to her the origin of Qiu Ling.

It stands to reason that he had a relationship with another woman...... It's none of her business.

But Gu Rin is abnormal, and the meaning of his words seems to be explaining to his wife and clarifying his relationship with others.

It's really not like his style.

Pei Yungui buried his head in the thick futon, his cheeks hot.

That thought tugged at the heartstrings again, and the more I wanted to come out.

Don't......

Gu Rin is also like her, in love with herself?

"That's not right."

She realized something again, and muttered a negation of the strange thought that had popped up in her mind.

It is impossible for Gu Rin to fall in love with her for no reason.

She has no talent and no virtue, her appearance is not as good as Qiu Ling, and her temper is not good.

There's no place to be liked.

What's more, she didn't have anything on her that Gu Rin could use.

Gu Rin would not make up excuses because of interests, waiting for an opportunity to approach her.

No matter how bad she is, she is also a general of a country, she is in a high position at a young age, and she is considered a leader among her peers, how can she be blind and fall in love with her?

Thinking like this, Pei Yungui's heart was a little more settled, but he was also a little empty.

She sighed, lifted the covers, and stared up at the drape on the roof, beating herself inwardly.

Although she has never experienced it, she vaguely understands that this kind of thing is the most difficult to control.

Once you sink, it is like falling into the abyss, and if you want to get up from the bottom, you don't have to climb to the sky.

She can't control her feelings, but she can't let herself indulge.

The task has not been completed, and the culprit who killed her father and mother has not been found out, what face does she have to fall in love with others here.

Besides, Gu Rin originally had no emotional drama, if she got involved and took him out of the quagmire, wouldn't the world be chaotic.

It is reasonable for her to let this relationship sprout.

That's ...... Kill it before it sprouts.

-------------------------------------

This night, Pei Yungui slept intermittently.

Maybe it's the accumulation in the heart, the daily thoughts, and the dreams.

She had a dream.

I dreamed that I was with Gu Rin, the two were dressed in joy and happiness, and they got married, and they received many blessings, including His Royal Highness the Prince, two princesses who had almost never met, and many people who she couldn't remember.

She was very happy, and Gu Rin was also very happy.

He lifted her hijab, and the two of them drank a glass of wine together.

It was a big day, but the heavens punished her, and Gu Rin was struck by a bolt of lightning, living in front of her eyes, and turned into a pile of powder.

A cold voice seemed to appear in the air behind her, like a criminal officer judging a sinner, as if the relationship between her and Gu Rin was something ugly that couldn't be put on the table.

But she didn't hear a word of what was said.

The tide of grief and hatred almost swallowed her.

In her dream, she had the urge to kill.

Although it was just a dream, the emotions in the dream, after she woke up from the dream, still did not go away for a long time, which shocked her heart.

Pei Yungui held his forehead and sat on the bed for a while, waiting for the emotions in his heart to gradually fade before getting out of bed and pouring himself a glass of water.

The cold liquid rolled through his throat and soaked into his heart, and the fear in Pei Yungui's heart was slowly suppressed and disappeared.

That dream may be a warning from God.

Pei Yun returned.

Being with Gu Rin will harm others and oneself after all.

In this case, she should control herself even more so that she does not cause the final bitter fruit.

The epidemic prevention and control in You County continued, and the hospital had new patients coming to see a doctor every day, Pei Yungui finished his kitchen work, and rushed into a medical center on East Street.

On duty in the hospital today is Doctor Pei Jianpei.

Because Pei Yungui and Pei Jian have the same surname, Pei Jian's knee is a grandson except for his son, and he has always wanted to give his granddaughter but couldn't get his wish, so he treats Pei Yungui as his own granddaughter and treats her very fondly.

Pei Yun returned to the daytime, so he often came to share Pei Jian's worries.

As soon as she stepped into the medical hall with her front foot, she saw Imperial Doctor Pei grabbing medicine with a sad face.

"Grandpa Pei, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yungui hurriedly took over the work from Pei Jian's hands and asked, "Why do you look so bad, but you have met a difficult patient again?"

The "difficult" in Pei Yungui's mouth refers to patients who step into the ghost gate with half a foot and are difficult to snatch back.

Pei Jian shook his head, "Not really."

He sighed and looked towards the door.

A few sallow-faced people who had difficulty walking were brought in from outside, and were received by a few younger people.

"I'm just worried about it...... It's endless, and I don't know when it'll end."

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Yungui looked at Pei Jian, only to hear Pei Jian whisper: "On the first day I came here, I listened to your description of the symptoms, so together with other imperial doctors, I located this disease to the disease of wind and cold.

"We have been here for several days, and there are more than a dozen patients cured every day, if not a dozen of them, and if the illness is cold, it should have gradually improved. However, you can see that in recent days, the number of patients who have been brought in has only increased, not decreased, and has become more and more. What is even more paradoxical is that many of the patients we have cured have relapsed after a few days, and even most of them are not as strong as they were at the beginning, and many of them almost lost their lives. It's as if this disease really has divine power, immortal and immortal, and it keeps going, and it is getting stronger and stronger."

Although Pei Yungui didn't understand medical science, he was also shocked when he listened to Pei Jian's description.

If it was as serious as he described, wouldn't they have to fight against this strange disease?

It is not perceable when it will be over, when everyone will return to normal.

"Is it possible that this disease...... Isn't it a wind chill?" Pei Yungui asked tentatively.

She is not a doctor after all, and she does not dare to guess at will.

After she said this, Pei Jian really fell into deep thought, and thought about Pei Yungui's question.

"Your speculation is not unreasonable." He said, "There is no doubt that this disease is wind cold, and it is possible to deal with it with the method of treating wind cold, but the strange thing is that in addition to the disease and the pharmacy are connected with wind and cold, in other aspects, it is far from wind cold."

He paused, and then said, "First of all, the number of attacks is quite unusual, if an ordinary person is infected with ordinary wind and cold, after being cured, there will be no recurrence in the short term, even if there is a risk of recurrence, it will take more than a month, and it is impossible to fall ill again in just two days. Thirdly, it is the ability of contagion, ordinary people with wind and cold, it is easy to pass the illness to others, and those who are often in contact with the sick are the most susceptible to the disease...... Think about it, who are the people who come into contact with patients on a daily basis?"

"Naturally, it's me!"

"Yes!" Pei Jian said: "Those of us who stay in the hospital every day are in contact with them almost all the time, but none of us suffer from this disease."
