After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

At this time, Cheng Shubai drew his sword and stood up.

The sharp sword gave off a cold glow in the moonlight, and the wolf's eyes suddenly widened. The next moment, the wolf howled, mixed with anger and ferocity, and suddenly rushed towards Cheng Shubai.

The wolf's claws attacked Cheng Shubai sharply.

Cheng Shubai turned sideways and swung the sharp blade in his hand. At the same time, his figure skyrocketed several feet, and he slapped the wolf with his palm. The wolf felt pain, howled, and ran away.

Cheng Shubai also took the opportunity to take Su Xiaoxi away quickly.

"Xiao Xi'er, are you okay?" Cheng Shubai asked with concern.

At this time, Su Xiaoxi's legs were trembling and sweat was dripping from her forehead.

"It's okay!" Su Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and tried to support herself.

Cheng Shubai felt extremely distressed, but he could not bear such pain for Su Xiaoxi.

After the two of them hurried into the city, Cheng Shubai went straight to the medicine shop.

When the drugstore owner saw Cheng Shubai coming to buy something, he greeted him warmly, "Brother Cheng, what are you here to buy today?"

Cheng Shubai didn't talk nonsense, but took off the baggage he was carrying on his back, and then placed the contents on the counter one by one, "Shopkeeper, please grab dozens of cold-repelling and anti-viral decoctions for me according to the list above. "

"So many..." The drug store owner was surprised.

In their town, almost no one was infected with the plague in normal times, but in the past few days, five or six families had died due to the plague. Although they had been isolated in time, the effect was very little.

Now that he heard that Cheng Shubai wanted so much cold-repelling decoction, the medicine shop owner couldn't help but frown, "Brother Cheng, these medicinal materials are really..."

"Shopkeeper, the price is negotiable. No matter how much it is, get it all first, we can use it!" Su Xiaoxi said quickly.

Since Su Xiaoxi said so, Cheng Shubai couldn't say anything else.

The shopkeeper couldn't believe it. He thought that the medicinal materials Cheng Shubai wanted this time must be rare, but he didn't expect that all the medicinal materials they wanted were ordinary medicinal materials. The so-called medicinal materials were not valuable at all!

"Brother Cheng, I will prepare the medicinal materials for you and send them to the Cheng Mansion, but the consultation fee needs to be paid to me."

Without saying a word, Cheng Shubai took out the banknote and handed it to the drug store owner. The drug store owner happily accepted it.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!"

After the medicine shop owner finished speaking, he turned and left.

The time spent waiting for medicine is always difficult.

Cheng Shubai didn't say a word, just silently accompanying Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi looked out the window with deep eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxi spoke, "Ms. sir, these medicinal materials are not enough to save them!"

Su Xiaoxi did not lower her voice when saying this.

Cheng Shubai was startled, his eyes flashing with confusion, but he did not ask.

"Ms. sir, you know, they are all innocent people!" Su Xiaoxi sounded a little excited.

She really didn't expect that there was still no movement in the imperial court. Are these medicinal materials distributed by the imperial court?

"..." Cheng Shubai pursed his lips and did not respond, but he felt even more worried.

If it is really what Xiao Xi'er said, then the court might be...

If this situation continues to develop, then the people in the entire country will be in dire straits.

Su Xiaoxi did not notice Cheng Shubai's abnormality, but instead murmured, "How innocent they must be!"

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxi's fists clenched loudly.

Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi with complicated eyes, and an inexplicable pity rose in his heart.

Maybe Xiao Xi'er is a kind girl, but... Xiao Xi'er like this makes him feel so distressed!

"Ms. sir, what are you thinking about?" Su Xiaoxi was confused after noticing Cheng Shubai's expression.

"I didn't think anything of it!" Cheng Shubai shook his head, "Xiao Xi'er, if you need help, just tell me."

After saying that, Cheng Shubai helped Su Xiaoxi onto the bullock cart.

Su Xiaoxi didn't say anything and rested against the carriage with her eyes closed.

The wilderness at night was particularly cold and quiet, and the oxcart was jolting so hard that Su Xiaoxi didn't sleep well.

After a night of nightmares, Su Xiaoxi woke up and was so frightened that she sat up as soon as she opened her eyes.

"Xiao Xi'er, you finally woke up. Are you hungry? I'll boil some hot water for you to drink!" Cheng Shubai said happily when Su Xiaoxi woke up.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoxi hummed softly, then opened her clothes and found that her right shoulder blade was red and swollen, and a faint bruise could be seen.

It seems that he was indeed injured when he fell down last night.

Not long after Cheng Shubai went out, the sound of pots and pans clanging could be heard in the house.

Soon, a strong smell of meat came.

Cheng Shubai walked in with dishes, a smile on his face.

"Xiao Xi'er, try my handiwork." As he said that, he took the chopsticks and put vegetables into Su Xiaoxi's bowl.

"Thank you!" Su Xiaoxi took the bowl from Cheng Shubai's hand, then lowered her head and started eating.

During the meal, neither of them spoke much, but Su Xiaoxi felt extremely warm.

After eating, the two of them returned.

On the carriage, Cheng Shubai still didn't ask Su Xiaoxi anything, but concentrated on driving the ox cart.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help feeling guilty.

She had been thinking of a way along the way. She had to do something, otherwise she really couldn't bear to see those villagers die like that.

And she didn't know how to treat the plague.

Back to the inn, it was already evening.

After Cheng Shubai sent Su Xiaoxi to her room, he went to the kitchen alone to wash himself, then went to fetch Su Xiaoxi bath water, served Su Xiaoxi to take a bath, and then went to the kitchen to cook porridge for Su Xiaoxi himself.

I never thought that Cheng Shubai would do such a thing, which made Su Xiaoxi very uncomfortable.

In the end, unable to resist Cheng Shubai, Su Xiaoxi had no choice but to lie on the bed obediently and let Cheng Shubai toss her around.

After Cheng Shubai dried Su Xiaoxi's hair, Su Xiaoxi felt better.

"Ms. sir, thank you!" Su Xiaoxi raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Shubai.

Cheng Shubai was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Fool! Why are you so polite to me?"

"No, I'm not being polite, but..." Su Xiaoxi suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Cheng Shubai did not force Su Xiaoxi to say the rest.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiaoxi reorganized her words and said, "Sir, I want to go to Mr. Li's mansion tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxi once treated Li Shangshu's son. Now she believes that Mr. Li will not ignore the people of Li.

As for those plague patients, she also hopes to have a glimmer of hope!

Cheng Shubai frowned, obviously disapproving of Su Xiaoxi going to see Li Shangshu.

After all, no one knows what Li Shangshu's attitude is. If he goes there rashly, it will be troublesome if it arouses Li Shangshu's resentment.

But Su Xiaoxi insisted, and Cheng Shubai had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Cheng Shubai and Su Xiaoxi went out early, and they didn't arrive at Li Shangshu's mansion in the capital until almost noon.
