Hearing the word “girl”, Shi Qingxue was gloomy, as if her energy were absorbed, and she looked depressed.

However, she still roused herself and asked to show respect, “Who is it?”

Wei Ziye looked more hesitant, as if wondering if he should disturb Shi Qingxue with something so boring, but in the end, he continued, “She is masked and her face can’t be seen clearly. She just said that she must see you.”

Who must see Shi Qingxue at this critical moment?

It was not Shen Luo but a girl.

Shi Qingxue didn’t have energy to cope with a girl, who knew how to play mysterious.

Nevertheless, before she said something to refuse, an idea came into her mind. Was it possible that the girl could save Mo Junyang?

As soon as she had this idea, Shi Qingxue felt that she was crazy as she wanted to save Mo Junyang, so she had such an unrealistic idea, yet she couldn’t stop it anyway.

So even though her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse, she still ordered, “Bring her in.”

Wei Ziye had a look at the room subconsciously. He thought that Mo Junyang fell into a coma like he did every time in the past, so he didn’t ask more but went to bring the girl dutifully.

Shi Qingxue quickly ran back to the bedside and looked at Mo Junyang in a coma. This time, she was more flurried than ever before.

She was afraid.

Even her finger checking Mo Junyang’s breath trembled uncontrollably. She had tried several times, yet she couldn’t put it in the right position, so she had to give up.

Qingxue sat on the bedside feebly, as if there would be nothing wrong as long as she didn’t check. Even so, her brain was still blank, and she couldn’t think about anything.

There was a gentle knock at the door, and somebody shouted from outside, “Qingxue.”

The sweet female voice was childish and sounded familiar.

Shi Qingxue didn’t know which little girl would call her like this, so she answered subconsciously, “Please come in.”

Then the room door was gently pushed open, and a hairy head popped in.

This little head was covered with a light blue headcloth, and her face couldn’t be seen clearly, but the nimble actions and familiar figure made Shi Qingxue in a daze again.

The girl almost walked to her and stood in front of her, with only her cute dimples and faint smile revealed under the headcloth.

Shi Qingxue suddenly had a brainwave and blurted out, “Xiao!”

The headcloth was taken off, and a pretty and cute face was shown. She smiled at Shi Qingxue sweetly and called again, “Qingxue.”

The comer was Shen Luo’s sister Shen Xiao.

Shi Qingxue came to her senses after being stunned for quite a while. Especially when she thought of Shen Xiao’s identity, she got excited. She didn’t forget how Shen Xiao tortured Shi Baoyan almost to death when she went to see Shen Luo on Mang Mountain. The girl’s medical skills and poisoning skills were excellent.

Shi Qingxue suddenly had hope and pulled Shen Xiao to the bedside. She pointed to Mo Junyang in the bed and stuttered in an emotional voice, “Save…save him…Please!”

Shen Xiao looked at Shi Qingxue who almost cried and knew that it was not the time to joke with her. She grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and concealed her smile, comforting her in a low voice. “Qingxue, don’t be afraid. I have a solution to save His Excellency.”

Afterward, she took a pill out of her pocket and put it in Mo Junyang’s mouth, making him swallow it. Then she explained to Shi Qingxue, “I received my brother’s letter in Rui City the other day. He said that he was not available, so I should come to Jiangzhou City if I was free. He told me to make preparations in advance as there might be an epidemic in this city.

“I fed His Excellency a versatile detoxification pill. Although it’s not an antidote against the disease, it can relieve the patient’s pain more or less. After his condition is stable, I will give an adequate remedy for the disease, and it will eliminate the illness.”

Shen Xiao had two buns on her head, still like a little girl at the age of fifteen. She looked childish and adorable, yet she said something mature seriously.

She said logically and gave others a sense of security for no reason.

At least, Shi Qingxue believed that Shen Xiao could really save Mo Junyang.

Qingxue nodded at Shen Xiao with gratitude and calmed down because of her words. “Fortunately, you have come. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do.”

While speaking, she had a bitter smile on her lips involuntarily.

She thought that she had lived for two lives and had seen much more than many people, but when something bad happened, she was in panic.

She was really good for nothing.

Shen Xiao couldn’t bear to see Shi Qingxue feel guilty. Moreover, how could they blame Shi Qingxue for something like this?

“Qingxue, what are you talking about? Even many experienced doctors will be in panic or flee facing the epidemic. They won’t be so bold as to stay with the patient and look after him. You are much braver than them.” Shen Xiao smiled sweetly and praised her sincerely.

Shi Qingxue smiled with shyness and couldn’t accept such praise, but she was relieved because of Shen Xiao’s compliment.

She calmed down and tried her best to tell Shen Xiao sanely something about the epidemic in Jiangzhou that she knew, hoping that it could help her treat Mo Junyang.

“The doctor who treated Junyang earlier said that the epidemic in Jiangzhou was dangerous and came quickly, and many people died of the disease. Almost nobody could survive after being infected till now. I…”

While speaking, Qingxue gave the prescription made by the old doctor to Shen Xiao.

Before Qingxue finished her words, Shen Xiao snorted with disdain. “They are just a bunch of conceited quacks. They don’t even dare to get close to the patient. How can they cure the disease?”

For example, if Wei Ziye didn’t put the sword on the old doctor’s neck, how would he have the medical ethics to treat Mo Junyang, not to mention checking his illness carefully?

Moreover, the prescription he made was merely a ready one and couldn’t cure Mo Junyang. It would only waste time.

How would a doctor with the spirit of saving the world take out a prescription rashly which was ineffective to cure a patient?

It would just delay saving the patient and consume his life.

Shi Qingxue thought that she should defend the old doctor at this time. “From the beginning, the old doctor said that he couldn’t cure Junyang but had to try his best to delay it. He did delay it till you came, so…”

Her voice was uncertain, yet she was grateful to all the people who could help Mo Junyang.

Shen Xiao looked disappointed and stated furiously, “Qingxue, you have been cheated by him.”

“Ah?”

“It’s just an ordinary prescription to build up health, and any pharmacy can show one hundred similar prescriptions randomly. Do you believe it?” Shen Xiao said in a rage.

Shi Qingxue was stunned and stuttered, “But Junyang…survived indeed…”

“That’s because His Excellency is in good health!” Shen Xiao responded without thinking.

In fact, speaking of which, this was understandable. Mo Junyang practiced martial arts throughout the year. As he was powerful in martial arts, his foundation was naturally much better than the ordinary person’s.

Only with this point, he was superior to the ordinary person, and Shi Qingxue looked after himself devotedly and gave him food with good nutrition, so he could sustain himself longer than the ordinary person.

Therefore, even if the old doctor didn’t come, Mo Junyang could survive.

On the contrary, because they used the old doctor’s prescription attentively, they gave up trying others and wasted so much time.

While speaking, Shen Xiao was filled with righteous indignation. She hadn’t seen that old doctor, but she wanted to beat him up.

However, Shi Qingxue didn’t bear a grudge. She just wanted to have Mo Junyang cured, and she didn’t care about anything else. “Forget it. Come and examine Junyang. He hasn’t woken up. I am afraid…”

Qingxue was too shy to say that she was almost scared to have a heart attack these days because of Mo Junyang’s coma. She was worried all day long if he would…when she didn’t notice it…

Shen Xiao grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and expressed confidently, “Qingxue, don’t worry. This pill will work perfectly in two hours. Then His Excellency will almost wake up.”

Compared with him, Shen Xiao was more worried about Shi Qingxue.

She pulled Shi Qingxue to sit at the table and asked carefully, “Did you stay with His Excellency and look after him all the time these days?”

“Ah!” Shi Qingxue answered equivocally and thought about something else. She didn’t notice if there was a problem.

Shen Xiao furrowed her brows tightly and stated harshly, “Qingxue, although you and His Excellency love each other deeply, you know that he is infected with the epidemic, so you shouldn’t be so close to him without any protection.”

She paused for a moment and then sighed. “Alas, it’s too late to say anything now. Fortunately, you are fine, but you should eat this just in case.”

Shen Xiao seemed to conjure, and she had a pill between her thumb and index finger. She gave it to Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue received it and put it in her mouth without hesitation. After she swallowed it with effort, she asked, “What can we do for Junyang now?”

Even though she knew that she could do nothing to help him as she didn’t know medical skills, she couldn’t allow herself to be idle and do nothing.

She would feel guilty and meanwhile make blind conjectures.

She urgently needed to do something to comfort herself as she was anxious.

Shen Xiao probably noticed Shi Qingxue’s anxiety and pondered for a moment. Then she suggested, “Qingxue, how about telling me how His Excellency was infected with the epidemic? Then I can predict.”

In fact, on the way here, Shen Xiao had heard most of the legends about the epidemic in Jiangzhou, but she still wanted Shi Qingxue to tell her.

On the one hand, she would distract Shi Qingxue’s attention, and on the other hand, she had guessed something in secret, yet she couldn’t say it for now.

Shi Qingxue didn’t suspect her. She restrained her complex thoughts and tried to say in detail, “In fact, when Junyang was infected, I was not around, but Ziye told me what happened then…”

No matter what he did, Mo Junyang had a purpose, and he went to Shang Village with a purpose, too.

Therefore, at noon after he reached Shang Village, he visited Ye Zhirong’s former residence and then talked with the surviving common people in the neighborhood for a long time. Later, he went to visit the hunters on the sparsely populated mountain.

Everything went smoothly all the way, at least before they left the last family.

However, after they finished the jobs of one day, it was dark. They were trapped on the mountain, and the tragedy happened at that time.

A group of masked men in black rushed out suddenly and tried to kill them, vigorously pursuing them. Then they attacked them with poison and poisonous arrows, forcing them to the cliff. In the end, Mo Junyang fell off the cliff and got injured in order to save Mo Junzhan.

Although Mo Junyang wasn’t seriously injured, it still influenced him when he was fighting back. Moreover, he wanted to know what Black Water Stockaded Village was like, from which somebody invited him to visit. Then he was taken to that stockaded village with injuries when he was forced even though he was willing to.

Afterward, he healed his wound and chatted with the members in the stockaded village.

The people in Black Water Stockaded Village asked them to visit and really treated them politely as guests. Nobody disrespected Mo Junyang.

However, when he asked about the key questions, all people were evasive and changed the subject, without revealing any useful information.

At least, Wei Ziye who followed Mo Junyang all the time thought so. As for what Mo Junyang had found, they should ask him.

After hearing Shi Qingxue’s narration, Shen Xiao furrowed her arch eyebrows more tightly, whispering, “There is something fishy as expected.”
