Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 272 Lead the snake out of the hole
Shen Wanyu and the others came to a dilapidated yard, which was overgrown with weeds.Next to a pair of dry straw piles, they found the old clothes that Bai Sheng said.

Shen Wanyu frowned slightly, these are old clothes.The hem and cuffs of the brown linen gown were torn.There are holes after holes in it. It is estimated that even beggars will dislike it for being dilapidated and dirty when thrown on the street.

She put on the white gloves, then slowly squatted down and picked up the worn linen clothes.Taking Qiuzhu and the others into the thatched hut, they put the linen clothes on the table.

She looked carefully at the old linen clothes, frowning slightly.Didn't find anything unusual, it was just broken and dirty.

"what!"

An exclamation came out from Rumeng's mouth, and her face was pale.A pair of beautiful eyes were full of horror, and the outstretched hand tremblingly pointed to the inner corner of the linen clothes.

Shen Wanyu blinked her eyes, and looked at Rumeng suspiciously.

"Rumeng, what's wrong with you?"

Rumeng swallowed her saliva, and it took a long while to suppress the nausea and fear rising from her heart.She reached out and hugged her arms, trying to calm down the goosebumps on her body.

"Miss, I... I have had a deep fear of mice since I was a lady. Even if it is a dead little mouse, or the hair on the mouse. As long as I see it, I will stiffen and get goose bumps all over my body."

Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she turned her head and glanced at the linen clothes on the table.Taking another look, his face was still pale and bloodless like a dream, and he pursed his lips.

"Then you saw the mouse's fur?"

The house is dilapidated, and there is only one bed, table and chairs in the room.Simple at a glance, there are no mice at all.In addition, just now Rumeng pointed to the clothes on the table, it seems that the problem lies in the clothes.That can only show that the clothes must be stained with mouse hair.

Rumeng nodded, and pointed to the corner of the clothes that had fallen on the edge of the table.

"There are some mouse hairs in the corner of the clothes."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, and she quickly turned the corner of her clothes inside out.Sure enough, there were a few imperceptible mouse hairs, she looked at Rumeng in surprise.

What kind of eyes was that? She looked so carefully and didn't see the mouse hair.Rumeng was so far away, yet he could see it at a glance.She must be farsighted, Shen Wanyu thought in her heart.

Shen Wanyu stood up and hurried out of the thatched hut.Picking up a wooden stick from the ground in the yard, he began to rummage in the yard.

"Miss, what are you looking for?"

Qiuzhu and the others hurriedly followed, and saw his young lady poking here and there with a wooden stick in the yard.

Shen Wanyu made a silent movement, her eyes swept around the yard.Finally, her gaze stayed on the dry straw piled in the corner, and she walked over quickly.I used a wooden stick to push the straw away, and sure enough, I found a nest of rat cubs that were as big as a palm.

However, these mice looked very listless, as if they were sick.She narrowed her eyes slightly, squatted down and observed carefully for a while.

Qiuzhu and the others ran over quickly, and Rumeng happened to be at the front.

"Miss, did you find something?" She took a step forward and leaned her head to look at it.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and the blood color quickly faded from her face.

"Old mouse." A creepy scream came out of her mouth, and she rolled her eyes and passed out in the next second.

"like a dream."

Fortunately, Ru Huan was relatively close to her, and his reaction was fast enough to catch her.

Shen Wanyu quickly stood up and went to see Rumeng.After checking her pulse, he said angrily and funny.

"You don't have to worry, she just passed out due to excessive fright. She will wake up in a while, Ruhuan, you should send her back first."

Ru Huan nodded, and helped the unconscious Ru Meng to leave.Qiuzhu and the others didn't come back to their senses until the figures of Ru Meng and Ru Huan disappeared before their eyes.

"I never thought that someone as powerful as Meng would be afraid of mice."

Qiuzhu glanced at the rat, which was only the size of a palm, and it couldn't eat people.

Shen Wanyu just smiled, turned around and walked to the mouse's nest.He reached out and picked up a mouse and stood up.

"There are all kinds of people in this world, and some people are still afraid of those little bugs."

Following Shen Wanyu back to the thatched cottage, Qiu Zhu watched Shen Wanyu put the sickly mouse on the table.Puzzled.

"Miss, what are you going to do?"

"I think the source of the plague in Luoyue Village should be spread by these rats. To be more precise, it should be the plague. Once the source is found, the rest of the matter will be easy. Qiu Zhu, go back and bring me my small light green box. it works."

As Shen Wanyu said, she turned over the mice one by one.Let it lie on its back, with its belly facing her.

Qiuzhu nodded, and hurried out.Only Yu Shui and Shen Wanyu were left in the room, and they fell into silence for a while.

Shen Wanyu took out the silver needle from her bosom, and took another porcelain bottle.Yu Shui didn't understand these things, she just stood beside her quietly and accompanied her.

Time passed minute by minute, about a quarter of an hour passed.Ru Huan and Qiuzhu came back carrying the box and put the box next to the table.

"Just put the things away. Go and help Uncle Bai take care of those patients."

Shen Wanyu squatted down and opened the box.Find out what you need and put them on the table one by one.

"But miss, is it okay for you to stay here alone?" Qiuzhu looked at her with some concern, even though Luoyue Village was sealed.But she is still worried, what if someone sneaks in and wants to hurt Miss.

"I'm fine, you go quickly."

Shen Wanyu waved her hand, she didn't like having people around when she was researching.Seeing that Qiuzhu was still talking, she stared at her with a stern face which was rare.

Qiu Zhu opened his mouth, but was pulled out by Ru Huan and Yu Shui.Walking out of the house, Yushui smiled slightly.

"You don't understand Miss's temperament. She has always said that one is one and the other is two. Let's go, we can help Miss now only by taking good care of those who are infected with the plague. We must find a cure in Miss Don't let any of them die before the solution."

Qiuzhu pursed her lips, and took a last look at the closed room.In the end, he nodded in compromise, and left with Yu Shui and the others.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going away outside, the corners of Shen Wanyu's mouth rose slightly.He showed a slight smile, and then began to concentrate on the movements of his hands.

Now that she knew it was the plague, she quickly searched for a cure for the plague in her mind.Searching around in her mind, a light flashed across her eyes.

Qiu Zhu and the others returned to the south, and saw Bai Sheng and Luo Fei taking care of the sick.Several people stepped forward quickly and took over Bai Sheng's work.

"Miss?"

Bai Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, the clothes were really hot on his body.He looked behind several people, but he didn't see Shen Wanyu's figure speaking in doubt.

"Miss has found the source of the plague, and is now researching a cure for the plague."

Qiu Zhu took out a box from his bosom, opened it and took out a blue and white porcelain vase from it.He poured out ten red pills and handed them to Bai Sheng.

"Miss said, mix these pills into water. Then feed these people to drink, which can improve their body's resistance. Be sure to persist until she develops a cure for the plague."

Bai Sheng held the pill in his hand and nodded.His deep and sharp eyes swept around the weak patient lying there, sighed slightly and turned to leave.

Shen Wanyu locked herself in the house, and this test lasted for three days.No one was allowed to come in, and Qiuzhu and the others took turns to bring her three meals.

No one knew what she was doing inside, or if she had found a cure for the plague.

Although Shen Wanyu took a large amount of medicinal pills to restore her body, although the plague was not cured well.But at least the people infected with the plague didn't get worse and kept a record of zero deaths.

However, the number of people infected with the plague increased from 22 to 30, and this rate has dropped significantly.

Because the plague was well under control, Bai Sheng and the others returned to the Bai family.After a short rest, Bai Qingling poured water for them.

"Sister Wanyu hasn't stepped out of that house for three days, and I don't know how she is doing."

Bai Qingling sat beside Bai Sheng, her small face wrinkled like a bun.The clear eyes were full of worry, but there was nothing he could do about it.Shen Wanyu had already spoken, not allowing anyone to go in and disturb her.

"I'm also very worried about Miss, the food delivered these days. She eats less and less, and even took a few bites at noon today. I'm afraid that she will be too focused and forget to eat and sleep like before."

Qiuzhu also frowned, it happened to be her turn to deliver food today.When I went to get the food box at noon, I saw that the food inside had only moved a few mouthfuls.

After Qiuzhu finished speaking, everyone sitting in the courtyard showed solemn expressions.A low pressure spread in the air, and it took a while for Bai Sheng to speak.

"Miss can't be left like this anymore. Now the plague is under control. If something happens to her to find a cure for us, I think they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives even if they recover."

Bai Qingling lowered her head and secretly held her hand.She can do it, sister Wanyu said she will definitely do it.She raised her head suddenly and glanced at several people.

"Daddy, you all have to take care of the villagers. Leave it to me to persuade sister Wanyu, you trust me. I will definitely advise her to take a good rest and pay attention to her body."

Qiuzhu and the others glanced at each other and pursed their lips.In the end, Yushui made a sound and said with a slight smile.

"Then I'll trouble you, Qingling, Miss has a very stubborn temper. Try to persuade her."

Bai Qingling nodded, clenched her fists a little tighter.

Suddenly a weak voice came from behind several people, and Bai Qingling's body froze obviously when she heard the voice.An analgesic light flashed quickly in his eyes, and then returned to calm.

"Sister Yan, why are you here? You haven't fully recovered yet, so you should take a good rest."

Bai Qingling hurried over and helped the frail Luo Yan to sit on the chair in front of the table.

"Each of you has something to do, but I can only watch you busy. I want to do my best, but my body doesn't allow it. Now I'm just accompanying Qingling to persuade Wanyu. Don't let me do it, I really am."

Speaking of which, Luo Yan lowered her head slightly, but her eyes turned red.Crying softly, shoulders trembled.

Bai Sheng had a troubled expression on his face, and he had scruples in his heart.Luo Yan's body is too weak, if he is infected with the plague.So even if there is the elixir of the young lady, when the plague does not find a cure.She couldn't last a few days, and he couldn't let her take risks.

Luo Yan saw that everyone was silent, and felt a little anxious.Tears flowed down her eyes immediately, and she looked at her brother imploringly.

"elder brother."

Luo Fei looked at his sister who was dependent on him, and told him rationally that he could not let her go.Although it was just to persuade the young lady, it was very dangerous as the source of the plague.

But in the face of his sister's begging eyes, he has always known it.My sister doesn't care about anything on the surface, but she is very bitter in her heart.I always feel that I am his burden, so I am very well-behaved and sensible on weekdays, and never cause trouble for him.This seemed to be the first time my sister begged her.
"Okay, I can let you go. But you can only stand outside the room and persuade the lady, do you understand?"

Seeing that her brother agreed, Luo Yan immediately smiled through tears.Nodding quickly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was weak but brilliant.

Luo Fei was slightly taken aback, how long had it been since he saw his sister smiling so happily.He came back to his senses, reached out and stroked Luo Yan's hair, his eyes were full of doting.

Such a situation of deep brother and sister love made the originally depressing atmosphere warm.Qiuzhu and the others were all moved by this scene, their eyes turned slightly red.

Bai Qingling's clear eyes were somewhat complicated, she really didn't want all this to be as she imagined.But all these scenes were going according to what Sister Wanyu said, and she suddenly felt a little cowardly.

She turned her eyes to Luo Fei who was looking at Luo Yan with a doting smile on his face, how uncomfortable it would be if brother Luo Fei knew everything.

"Qingling, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"

Seeing that Luo Fei had already agreed, Bai Sheng had no reason to object.You can only let them go, but you have to pay extra attention.When he turned his eyes to his own daughter, he saw her staring at Luo Fei.

When Bai Qingling heard her father's question, she immediately recovered.Scratching his head, he smiled shyly.

"I saw how close brother Luo Fei and sister Yan are, and I was a little envious."

When Luo Fei heard Bai Qingling's words, he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a doting smile.Walking to Bai Qingling's side, he rubbed her head and said.

"You are my younger sister just like Xiaoyan."

Bai Qingling raised her head and smiled innocently at Luo Fei, then changed the subject.

"Daddy, Brother Luo Fei. Shouldn't you go take care of them? Sister Yan and I will prepare dinner. Then I will send it to Sister Wanyu later, and I will persuade her by the way."

Bai Sheng glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost the time.Then he got up, looked at Luo Fei and the others and said, "It's almost there, we should go there."

Qiuzhu and the others quickly followed Bai Sheng and left the small courtyard of the Bai family.After a while, the figures of several people disappeared in the yard.

Bai Qingling looked at Luo Yan pretending to be relaxed, and smiled as shyly as usual.

"Sister Yan, let's go and make dinner."

Luo Yan withdrew her gaze, looked at Bai Qingling and smiled softly.Then he nodded and followed her to the kitchen.

The two of them worked hard for nearly an afternoon, and finally finished dinner.Just as she was preparing to put Shen Wanyu's dinner in the food box, Bai Qingling suddenly covered her stomach with pain and anxiety.

"Sister Yan, help me pack dinner for Sister Wanyu. My stomach hurts suddenly, and I'm going to the latrine."

Without waiting for Luo Yan to answer, she hurriedly ran out clutching her stomach.As if he couldn't bear it any longer, he disappeared into the kitchen in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yan was still thinking about how to get Bai Qingling away, so he could do it.Unexpectedly, Bai Qingling would suddenly have a stomachache.This just gave her a chance, so she didn't have to think about it anymore.

After Bai Qingling ran out of the kitchen, she hid outside the kitchen.She looked complicated, with a bit of hesitation.She walked lightly to the kitchen door, and looked inside through the crack she left on purpose.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and her heart was as cold as an ice cellar.Why is it really like what I thought, the confusion is probably what she looks like now.

On one side is her favorite sister Wanyu, who is willing to put herself in danger in order to save Luoyue Village.On the one hand, Sister Yan, who has lived together for many years and loves her like a sister, really doesn't know what to do.

Biting her lip, she couldn't let Sister Luo Yan go on wrong.I can only follow Sister Wanyu's plan and make Sister Yan wake up.Although she didn't know why she did this, she didn't believe that she would want to kill people from Luoyue Village.

After adjusting her mentality and her own facial expression, she pushed open the kitchen door and showed a naive smile.

"Sister Yan, you're all set up. Then let's go and deliver food to Sister Wanyu."

After speaking, he grabbed Luo Yan who was carrying the food box, and left the small courtyard of the Bai family.Walk towards the courtyard where Shen Wanyu stayed.

"Xiao Ling, is your stomach feeling better?"

Luo Yan felt Bai Qingling's little hands were cold, and looked at her with worried eyes.Ever since she and her brother had nowhere to go and took refuge in Uncle Bai.She and her brother have always been taken care of by Uncle Bai and Aunt Lian, just like their parents.So for the innocent and lovely Bai Qingling who gets along day and night, she really regards her as her younger sister.

Bai Qingling knew that Luo Yan's concern and worries for her were from the bottom of her heart, and she never believed that Sister Yan was such a cruel person.

"I'm fine, I'm fine now." As he spoke, he showed a bright smile to Luo Yan.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of Shen Wanyu's room.Bai Qingling bit her lips, and finally took the food box from Luo Yan's hand and walked forward.

"Sister Wanyu, Qingling is here to bring you food."

Bai Qingling and Luo Yan were just standing at the door, and they could already smell the faint scent of medicine wafting from the room.After waiting for a while, no one answered.

"Sister Wanyu, your dinner is here."

Bai Qingling knocked on the closed door several times, but there was still no response from inside.

Bai Qingling's face changed slightly at this moment, she turned her head to look at Luo Yan.A little worried and apprehensive, he opened his mouth and said.

"Sister Wanyu will be fine!"

Luo Yan's expression also changed when he heard the words, and he didn't even think about it.Pulling Bai Qingling, he slammed open the door forcefully.

A strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and the two bumped into it.I saw scattered small bowls and a few mice on the table, while Shen Wanyu was lying on the table and didn't know whether she was asleep or unconscious.

After Bai Qingling came back to her senses, she ran over immediately.She reached out and pushed Shen Wanyu, but she didn't respond at all.This time Bai Qingling really panicked, it was different from their previous plan.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do, like a headless chicken.She looked at Luo Yan who was standing aside to help her support Shen Wanyu, but she interrupted her when she was about to speak.

"Don't talk about it, let's carry Wanyu to the bed first. She may just be too tired and fell asleep, so don't worry."

Luo Yan hurriedly uttered a voice to comfort Bai Qingling, which was also different from her plan.But she calmed down quickly and lifted him onto the bed first.

"Qingling, I'm not in good health so I can't go to Uncle Bai's place. Hurry up and find Uncle Bai, and tell Wanyu that she's unconscious."

Bai Qingling nodded immediately without thinking, turned around and ran out without any delay.

In the dilapidated room, only Shen Wanyu, who was unconscious, and Luo Yan, who was sitting by the bed and staring at Shen Wanyu, were left.

Luo Yan looked at Shen Wanyu, whose face was pale and her eyes were black and blue, which made her look haggard.Her pale lips were slightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with guilt.

"Wanyu, I am very grateful that you saved my life. I saw the light of the hopeless life. I thought that my body would gradually improve and I would be able to live with my brother forever. Those people still found my brother."

Luo Yan seemed to be whispering in a low voice, her voice was full of guilt and sadness.

"My brother was seriously injured that time, but in order not to worry me. He never said that those people were found, and he always suffered alone. Now I have a chance to make my brother no longer be oppressed by those people. Then Just to kill you, this so-called plague was designed for you."

Luo Yan looked down at Shen Wanyu, she had never killed anyone in her life.But the first person to kill was her own savior, and she felt the condemnation of her conscience in her heart.

Tears fell from the eye sockets drop by drop like pearls with broken strings.It hit the edge of the bed, and she kept murmuring in a crying voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. For my brother, I have to kill you. When you get to the bottom, I will go with you soon. Down below, I am willing to make atonement."

Luo Yan wiped away her tears, and walked to the table with a little floating footsteps.Open the food box and take out the soup inside.After serving a bowl, he turned and went back to the bed.

"Just one bite, and you will die without any pain."

She took a spoonful with a spoon and slowly brought it to Shen Wanyu's mouth.
