Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Hearing Ji Wuyan's question, Shen Luoxin realized this - indeed, after secretly and deliberately fueling the flames, the news about the epidemic outside could no longer be suppressed, and major drug stores also raised their prices. Even so, all kinds of medicinal materials It was also sold out.

Some "secret recipes" with unknown origins began to spread in the market, and under the guise of "guaranteed to be effective even if you are infected with the epidemic," people were tricked into buying the medicinal materials contained in the secret recipes at high prices.

Shen Luoxin has seen one of the secret recipes. Most of the medicinal materials on it are common medicinal materials for treating wind and cold, but there must be some medicinal materials that are rarely bought by people and are unsalable and expensive in various drug stores. These "secret recipes" The real intention is obvious. She comforted her, but no one believed her.

Maybe, it's not that no one believes it, it's just that rather than believing that these prescriptions are useless, they would rather believe that it is really effective. This way, they will not be confused by the increasingly fierce rumors.

But it's different here. No one discusses, no one worries, no one even thinks that some medicinal materials should be prepared in advance for emergencies, and there are no people hiding in twos and threes behind the rockery or in the corner, discussing where they got it from hearsay. Secret recipe. For them, no matter how precarious it is outside, it is all an external matter. Their backbone is here, and their reliance is here.

This place is like the last safe harbor in the entire Yanjing City.

But how many people can this safe harbor protect and how long will it be safe? Having lived in two lifetimes, she naturally knows better than anyone else how many lives a plague can take away in such an era. It is far more terrifying than war... If not for this, she would not have been able to destroy all the people in the city without sleep and food. He ran all over the drugstore, just to find some clues about the disease... The two hands on his knees subconsciously mixed together. Shen Luoxin lowered his eyebrows for a long time, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Just a sigh.

His eyebrows were furrowed, looking worried.

Shangguan Chu stood up and when he passed by her, he raised his hand, then paused. After hesitating for a moment, he patted her shoulder and said with a nonchalant smile, "I am most afraid of death and pain and fatigue. Now I'm fine." If you stay here and don't run back to Yunzhou, it means that things haven't reached that point yet. What's more, even if that day comes and the sky falls, we will still have tall men like us to hold it up. When will we need you? A little girl stepped forward and worked hard?"

After that, he put his hand away and walked out. When he reached the door, he looked back at Shen Luoxin and said, "Old Chen is old and hobbles when he walks. Please give him some time and patience... If you go Don't go to his courtyard with such an expression that the sky is falling." After that, he waved to Qingshan and strode away.

Shen Luoxin touched her face and asked Ji Wuyan, "My expression...is ugly?" She thought she was hiding it well.

Ji Wuyan shook his head and said, "It doesn't look good."

Rarely honest.

Shen Luoxin was stunned for a moment, then smiled suddenly, lowered his head and shook his head with a smile. It was probably because of the rare directness of the other party, or the constant comfort from the two of them before, that the heavy stone that was pressing on him moved away a little. , she poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, then looked at Ji Wuyan seriously and thanked her solemnly, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Ji Wuyan lazily changed his posture, "I didn't help you much, and I didn't compliment you on your beautiful smile, but you became polite to me." "Hmm..." Shen Luoxin Shaking his head, he denied with a smile like a spoiled child, "You were resting that day and I went to look for you. Cen Yan told me that you went to Dali Temple, looked for the jailer, and then went to Huaide Square to look for you. That boy... Maybe you want to say that no one can survive the epidemic. But I know you can, Wuyan, Yunzhou is thousands of miles away from here, with mountains and rivers high, so you can just leave. Even behind closed doors. No way out... This is also a place where one can be alone. But you went to Dali Temple, you went to the most dangerous place, for Xu Siniang, for me... I have been saying thank you for a long time, but I also felt that a thank you was too frivolous, and I thought about it for a long time, but I am stupid, you know..."

Fool……

They were obviously two completely different people, but sometimes Ji Wuyan could always see a little bit of Shangguan Yuan in Shen Luoxin.

It is obvious that one is gentle, the other is out-of-the-box, one is thoughtful and appropriate, and the other is reckless. One is the daughter of a noble family, and the other is the daughter of a widower, but the kindness in the heart is still pure.

Ji Wuyan pursed her lips and smiled, pointed at the tea cup in her hand, and then hooked her fingertips. The other party seemed puzzled and surprised. Ji Wuyan changed to a more lazy posture, hugged the cat that jumped on the chair, and smiled lazily, "If you feel that thanking you is too frivolous, then take it seriously." Thank you, bring tea and water, and say thank you sincerely."

The other party suddenly realized and almost hurriedly went to pour the tea, but Ji Wuyan stopped him, "I want the cup you just had."

The little girl, who was worried about something, could not keep up with her thoughts. She looked at the tea cup at hand and said blankly, "I have drank this cup..."

Ji Wuyan nodded and insisted, "I want that cup."

Although she didn't know what the other party meant, Shen Luoxin still held it over with a strange and puzzled expression. He held it in both hands and handed it over hesitantly. Just as he was about to lower his head and bend down to say thank you, the teacup in his hand was already there. After being taken over, one hand was held in the palm of the hand, spread out, and the tea cup was firmly placed back in the palm of the hand.

He was stunned and looked in surprise.

Ji Wuyan smiled with a look of success, raised his hand, tapped the tip of the other person's nose with his fingertips, and smiled, "Idiot...how could I receive such a grand thank you from you? Between you and me, if we say thank you, it will be We are separated... Since I call Xu Siniang aunt, her affairs are also my affairs. You, drink this cup of tea well and put your heart back in your stomach. Grandma said that the more important things are, the more important they are. You can't be anxious...Brother is right, you have to give Mr. Chen some time and trust, and also give Xu Siniang some trust...Luo Xin, Xu Siniang, us, and even Jifeng are not chicks that need your protection, you are not. That big bird with full wings... neither are we."

"Luo Xin...relax, no matter what you have seen before, no matter what you have seen, no matter what you know, in short, this time is different..."

"This time, it's us."

Shen Luoxin shuddered and looked up... The girl with gentle eyebrows looked at her with a smile, and in her eyes was her slightly embarrassed look.
