Chapter 335 All dead
Everyone's faces were grim, but soon, Zhou Jingyu raised his hand and summoned another bodyguard, Feng Bo, saying, "Go and investigate what happened to Xia Xiaoyue."
“Go to the county town to find Lai Aniu and Chang Biao,” Yunyi added.
Feng Bo clasped his hands in a fist salute and was about to leave when he was stopped again: "Do you need any horses? I have quite a few wild horses."
Little White and Little Black usually roam freely in the mountains, but before Yun Yi knew it, they attracted more than a dozen wild horses, which were all tamed by Mo Li and Ling Xiao without Yun Yi noticing.
Right now, in that mountain valley of White Tiger Mountain, there are at least thirty horses available for use.
Feng Bo couldn't help but look at Zhou Jingyu.
"Why are you looking at him? I know you have superhuman agility, but running that far must be tiring, right?"
"Thank you, Miss," Zhou Jingyu said.
Feng Bo clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Miss."
Yunyi waved her hand and let out a long whistle.
Before long, Little White came galloping down from the mountains with a black horse.
The black horse had a saddle draped over its back.
After saddled the horse, Fengbo mounted it and left.
"You have quite a few bodyguards around you," Yunyi remarked, watching Fengbo's retreating figure.
"Only the two of them are left." Zhou Jingyu's mood was somewhat low; so many people had died trying to save him.
"Perhaps they feel they died a worthy death," Yunyi offered a dry word of comfort. After all, in this era, under the constraints of thought, that's what everyone thought.
"Yunyi, is there a cure for that plague virus?" Zhou Jingyu changed the subject himself.
"I can, but I don't want to treat her." Yun Yi shrugged. Xia Xiaoyue was no good; she was a ticking time bomb. She wasn't that noble to treat someone who might turn on her at any moment. After all, that would waste spiritual spring water, and she couldn't bear to do that.
Zhou Jingyu's expression was somewhat complicated: "Only you can say that not saving people is so justifiable."
Yunyi smiled; she disdained to lie.
"However, Yunyi, I do want to study that virus." Wang Tianshun is a natural-born doctor. He has always believed that there is no end to learning. Therefore, even though Yunyi is young, he is convinced that her medical skills are better than hers.
“Okay.” Yunyi nodded. “But you need to take precautions and not infect yourself.” As she spoke, she took out a mask and a pair of gloves from her backpack. “Put these on. I’ve cleaned them.”
“I want to go too.” Xiao Jinxiu hurriedly raised her hand. “I’ll be the advisor’s helper.” As she spoke, she took out her mask and gloves and put them on.
Yunyi nodded, then watched the two of them walk away together.
"Mother." At this moment, Er Ya walked over, glanced at Zhou Jingyu, and then looked at Yun Yi, "Do we still need to brew those medicinal soups?"
"Yes," Yunyi nodded, "but I'll add two more ingredients."
The villagers rushed back to line up again, because the plague was more terrifying than a cold.
"Mom, here you go." Qibao ran over, holding a small wreath made of wildflowers.
"Thank you, Xiao Qibao." Yunyi took it. "Did you make this up?"
"Xiao Qi doesn't know how." Qi Bao shook her head. "It was Brother Mu Yan who made it up."
Yunyi looked up and saw Mu Yan weaving a flower wreath. He seemed to realize that Yunyi was looking at him, so he quickly looked up and smiled, then lowered his head to continue weaving.
"Why don't you go and learn how to make them, Xiaoqi? Once you've learned, you can make them for your mother yourself."
"Okay." Qibao nodded hurriedly upon hearing this. "I'll go right now." Then he ran towards Mu Yan.
Several children who were playing nearby also ran over and surrounded Mu Yan. Later, Xia Zhuzi also joined in.
Xia Zhuzi is even more skillful; she can not only weave flower wreaths but also create all sorts of shapes, instantly attracting the children's attention.
Yunyi observed Mu Yan from a distance, but noticed that the little guy's expression dimmed for a moment. However, he quickly recovered and began to humbly observe how Xia Zhuzi did things, and even asked for advice from time to time.
"That kid's not bad, is he?" Zhou Jingyu said.
"Yes." Yunyi nodded. "He's a good prospect, at least he has a very stable temperament."
"His cousin was named Mu Yushu. At the time of the incident, he was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, only twenty years old, but he was meticulous and had an extraordinary keenness for handling various cases. Originally, he was the only candidate to succeed the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review when he retired in two years, but..."
"I know his parents are dead, but what about that Junior Minister?"
"Several families that were implicated by me were exiled to Lingnan by their main branches and to Longxi by their collateral branches. The Mu family was one of them."
“It’s alright, the Mu family has a successor.” Yun Yi glanced at Zhou Jingyu. “I don’t have a deep impression of Mu Yushu, but this Mu Yan definitely has a talent for solving cases.”
Based on the fact that his first thought after learning sketching was to help the government draw sketches to arrest people, it shows that this child is also suitable to take over his uncle's job.
It seems that she should focus on training him in the future and teach him more crime-solving techniques and knowledge.
"Hmm." Zhou Jingyu nodded. "Let's see what fate has in store for him."
He returned that very night, but the news he brought back was not good, as both Lai Aniu and Chang Biao were dead.
Lai Aniu drowned after falling into a cesspool while going to the outhouse after drinking. Chang Biao also drowned after drinking, but fell into the river while crossing a bridge. Although he was quickly rescued, he hit his head on a rock and died.
Yunyi smiled and said, "You died at just the right time."
"The trail has gone cold." Zhou Jingyu frowned.
"Let it go if it's over." Yunyi shrugged. "Anyway, the conspiracy of the person behind it has been thwarted. If they're not satisfied, they'll always come up with another move. We'll just deal with whatever they say."
Zhou Jingyu agreed, but he had a rough idea of who was behind it, though he wasn't sure.
Wang Tianshun and Xiao Jinxiu studied Xia Xiaoyue for three days and finally determined the prescription. However, they did not directly decoct the medicine for her to drink, but came to ask Yunyi for her opinion.
Yunyi glanced at it and found that it was very similar to the prescription her divine physician had used to treat the plague in one of her previous worlds. For example, the divine physician used forsythia, while here they used dandelion. Actually, honeysuckle could also be used, and the effect would be similar, as both are for clearing heat and detoxifying.
"This prescription should work."
"Then I'll cook it for her and let her try it?" Xiao Jinxiu was eager to give it a go.
Yunyi shook her head: "But it doesn't work on Xia Xiaoyue."
"Why?" Xiao Jinxiu frowned.
