Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 123 Not a Plague
Shen Lanze grabbed the wooden stick, pulled it hard, raised his hand to hit the person opposite, and stopped his hand in time when he saw the face that was revealed.

"why you?"

"why you?"

The two asked questions at the same time, neither of them expected that the other party would be a familiar person.

"Mr. Shen, why are you here? Isn't the village sealed off by officers and soldiers? How did you get in?" the woman asked nervously.

"Let's not talk about this first, why is the village sealed off? What happened to the villagers surrounded by officers and soldiers? What is going on?"

Shen Lanze felt that the matter was more serious than they imagined, and he had to figure out the situation.

Mentioning this incident, the woman's eyes turned red, she clenched the wooden stick in her hand and said: "It's not those damn court people who insist that our village has a plague and want to trap us here. They obviously don't want to distribute food to us." , it’s an excuse to starve us to death here.”

Shen Lanze's expression turned serious. It seemed that the person behind this wanted to put His Highness Fifth to death. He not only wanted to use a knife to kill people, but also wanted to arouse public anger and abolish His Highness!

"I know you are very angry now, but I believe there must be a misunderstanding. The officials sent by the imperial court for disaster relief will never abandon you." Shen Lanze said firmly.

How can the woman still listen to his words now, she just thinks that there is not a single good person in the imperial court who doesn't care about the life and death of the common people like them, and only cares about putting money into her own pocket.

Shen Lanze and Deadpool returned to the city and told Lu Nanzhi the news they had inquired about. After some discussion, they decided to divide the troops into two groups.

Lu Nanzhi and Ye Jinran pretended to be doctors and sneaked into the village to treat the people and delay time, while Shen Lanze and Deadpool went to rescue the Fifth Highness.

Although Ye Jinran was jealous of Lu Nanzhi, compared to those innocent people, she was more willing to let go of her personal emotions.

The two went to the small town together, and the officers and soldiers immediately stopped them when they saw the two, "Who are you, there is a plague here, no one is allowed to approach, leave quickly!"

"We are doctors, maybe we can control the plague inside." Ye Jinran walked in the front and replied.

The soldier burst out laughing when he heard her words, "I advise you better not to go in, otherwise you won't be able to get out if you go in carefully."

"As doctors, it's our duty to save people, so please be more flexible." Ye Jinran said sincerely.

Several soldiers thought about it, and finally let them in. After all, this was the life of a village, and they couldn't bear to let these people be trapped here to death.

Ye Jinran and Lu Nanzhi approached the village, and what they heard were the wailing sounds and the cries of children. The painful sounds made their hearts tremble.

"Miss Lu, why are you back? Do you know that those people are arresting you, in case you are discovered..."

"But I can't abandon you. I came back this time to save the people in the village." Lu Nanzhi gave him a comforting smile.

Seeing the two reminiscing about the past, Ye Jinran couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then said coldly: "I'd better go and see the injured first, and if this continues, be careful not to be caught and arrested."

Lu Nanzhi didn't say a word, and walked forward behind Ye Jinran.

Ye Jinran checked these sick people and found that they didn't suffer from any plague at all, but were poisoned by a poison similar to plague.

This kind of poison is not common, but once ingested, it will cause people to have the same condition as the plague, high fever, severe cough, and even festering on the body in more serious cases.

"The situation is quite serious. These people didn't get the plague at all but were poisoned." Ye Jinran got up and said.

Lu Nanzhi understood instantly, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that someone poisoned the well, so most people in the village were poisoned, and those who were not poisoned were those who hadn't eaten the well?"

This is also the reason why some people in the village were poisoned and some were not. If this is the case, then the person who poisoned is probably still in the village.

This reminded her of the conversation she overheard last time. It might have something to do with those two people.

"Go to the well and have a look." Ye Jinran felt that what she said made sense. If this was the case, the villagers must be asked to temporarily stop using water.

The two came to the well and fetched a bucket of water. Ye Jinran touched it with his hand, then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and finally took out a pack of medicinal powder and sprinkled it in the bucket. The water in the bucket instantly turned black.

"You guessed right, the source of the poison is this well." Ye Jinran clapped his hands, now he must find a way to detoxify.

"What should we do now?" Lu Nanzhi didn't know medical skills, so now he could only rely on Ye Jinran.

"Let's go back first." Ye Jinran was also a little embarrassed, it was winter, and many herbs were hard to find.

On the way back, Lu Nanzhi accidentally tripped over a stone, suddenly saw the fruit under the tree, smelled the fragrance, and walked over to pick it up involuntarily.

This fruit is bright red and looks crystal clear, making people want to take a bite.

Seeing the fruit in her hand, Ye Jinran exclaimed, grabbed her wrist, and said excitedly, "Where did you get this thing?"

"I picked it up."

Lu Nanzhi was taken aback, thinking it was something poisonous, he immediately let go, and the fruit fell to the ground in an instant.

"Oh, you, why did you throw such a precious thing on the ground." Ye Jinran hurriedly picked up the fruit on the ground, holding it carefully in her hands, as if treating some kind of treasure.

Looking up at the stunned person, he couldn't help muttering: "I really don't know how lucky you are to step on Baicao and pick up such a precious holy fruit."

"What's the use of this thing?" Lu Nanzhi felt that apart from being nice and smelling good, it didn't seem to be able to satisfy the hunger. After all, even ten of such a small fruit would not be enough to eat.

"This thing is very useful. Whether it can heal the villagers well depends on this fruit." Ye Jinran was still worried about how to find the antidote medicine, but she didn't expect to be picked up by her like this, which saved a lot of effort.

Lu Nanzhi didn't expect that after falling, he found the fruit that could save the villagers.

The two returned the same way and began to develop the antidote at the woman's home. Ye Jinran would take it first and continue to develop it under a lot of pain and suffering.

At this moment, Lu Nanzhi admired Ye Jinran a little. She must have used this method to test the medicine when she rescued Shen Lanze.

This kind of pain is not something others can bear. Looking at the pale man, Lu Nanzhi couldn't help but said, "Why don't I try the medicine."

Although she knew it was dangerous, she believed in Ye Jinran's medical skills.

These words stopped the person who was about to try the medicine again, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure you want to come?"

"Yeah." Lu Nanzhi nodded seriously, she wasn't joking.

If this continues, Ye Jinran's body will not be able to hold on, so who should heal these villagers? Could it be that she, a person who is not good at medicine, is to be relied on?
"Okay, you come, but I can't guarantee whether you will die if you drink it." Ye Jinran looked at her with a sneer, and at the same time passed the medicine bowl in her hand.
