Xiao Qi had no way of knowing what the prefect thought.

He can still be a human being.

But some people are no longer human.

Xiao Qi came out of the magistrate's study and didn't go back to her own room. She still didn't know how to face Min Yu'an.

She was terrified of her tears.

So I simply left the house again and went to the streets.

It takes time to move rice and cook porridge, and the moment Xiao Qi went to find the magistrate, the original porridge shed has already been withdrawn.

Drinking a bowl of porridge mixed with sand can probably last the day.

But there are still people who don't even have the strength to line up to get the porridge and can only wait to die.

People who are so hungry lie down on the side of the road, and if they can't get enough of the porridge given by the magistrate, they eat grass.

There are grass blades in their mouths, eyes open blankly, withered and yellow complexions, chapped lips, and dusty bodies, such people are the majority.

Not far away, someone is watching.

They are prey.

People who are not sick or suffering from starvation can also be used as rations.

This is not what the prefect wanted alone, and the rest can naturally think of it.

For some reason, Xiao Qi suddenly thought of Elder Sister. When she met Elder Sister, she seemed to be the same way.

In the troubled times, even the things experienced are surprisingly similar.

Someone grabbed Xiao Qi's trouser legs, as if he was struggling for death, and exhausted his last strength: "My lord, please... help me, save me, save me." He could feel those coveted eyes, and death didn't matter But, there is not even a whole body after death, he doesn't want to.

This is his only chance.

Xiao Qi squatted down, took out a candy from his purse and stuffed it into his mouth: "I will."

The ugly pattern on the purse was particularly eye-catching, and Xiao Qi stuffed it into his bosom again, how could there be Min Yu'an's shadow everywhere?

——Of course it's because you always have her in your heart.

The people on the ground are greedily sucking/sucking, sweet, how long has it been since I tasted it?

Can not remember.

Xiao Qi glanced at the people in the corner, and shocked them to hide back, but they just hid and did not leave.The official is powerful, but when the official is gone, who can control him?

stalemate.

But they haven't acted yet, and Xiao Qi has nothing to do with them, he just waits by the side, waiting for the porridge to come, and then deliver it to the mouths of those who have no mobility.

After finishing everything, Xiao Qi tore off a handful of grass leaves and put them in his mouth, chewed them twice, the familiar bitterness spread between his lips and teeth, the unknown weeds that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road, after a long period of time , became her staple food.

People are forced out by the environment, Xiao Qi could stuff it into his mouth and swallow it without changing his expression before, but now she finds it hard to swallow it.

Sure enough, it's been a long time in comfort, the tongue has been spoiled by those delicacies, and normal people have eaten the food for a long time, and they forget what the grass tastes like.

Xiao Qi couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he just felt uncomfortable.

"General!"

Everyone was shocked by her actions, how does eating grass work?Don't be stupid, right?Then how do they explain to the princess!

Xiao Qi spat out the grass in his mouth: "It's nothing, I just suddenly want to taste what this grass tastes like."

Everyone: ...You are stupid at a young age.What's wrong!

All right, you...just be happy.

Xiao Qi was closely followed by her subordinates' gazes, she thought to herself, what's the matter with her love, anyway, she lost her face as early as this morning.

After finishing their work, they headed home.

First went to Jiang Gen's room to see him.

Jiang Gen's illness is getting worse.

The imperial doctor was helpless, stroked his beard and sighed: "There is no cure for medicine and stone."

Physicians pay attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and treat the cause from the root.But I don't even know the cause of the disease, so how can I cure it?I can only use some medicines to alleviate the symptoms of ginger root, but it is repeated, which is not very useful.

Xiao Qi could only say: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

That feeling of powerlessness again.

Her comrade-in-arms was lying on the sick bed, but Xiao Qi didn't know how to save him, the young life was about to wither before it bloomed.They have already left the battlefield, how can they still not escape such a fate.

The person on the bed was already in a coma and lost consciousness.Xiao Qi murmured: "I will bring you back safely."

Live it and bring it back.

After going out, she walked up and down in the yard like a trapped animal, pacing back and forth, thinking desperately, why did they eat and live together, and only Jiang Gen got sick?

He contracted the disease on the day he went out, so it was related to the journey out.what is the relationship?

"Drink some water," the subordinate couldn't bear it, "General, this is not your fault."

Xiao Qi glanced at it casually: "I don't drink it." Now he doesn't even have the desire to drink water.

The clean tea bowl was in his hand, but the subordinate did not take back his hand, but passed it forward: "It's been a day, you should drink some water."

Something flashed through Xiao Qi's mind, tea bowl!

That day, Jiang Gen said he was thirsty, so the house they went to brought him a bowl of water.

Only he drank water.

That bowl of water!

Xiao Qi pulled a person next to him: "Go, ask Jiang Gen where the bowl of water he drank two days ago came from."

Seeing her expression, the man knew that the matter was of great importance, so he rode on the horse and galloped away. Although he didn't know what the purpose of asking that was, he just followed suit.

Not long after, he came back panting, panting heavily, and reported to her: "General, I found out, people said that the water was drawn from the river, and all they drank was that water, so there's nothing wrong with it. "

no problem?The problem is getting bigger!

There were seven people in that family, and five of them were locked up because of illness. What can't be explained?

Everything points to - the river.

Xiao Qi hurried to find the magistrate, and asked him for a map of the city and the residences of the registered patients.

Facing each other, mark them on the map, dip the Langhao brush in cinnabar, and draw dots directly on the map.

The place with the most red dots is near the river.

It is a river called Qi River in the local area. The local people regard it as a god-like existence. During festivals, they gather by the river and hold sacrifices.

So something is wrong with Qihe?

Found some ideas, but it's too late to check.

Xiao Qi couldn't take the rest of his brothers into it.

"Go back and rest early, and tomorrow morning, we will check the river."

"Yes!"

***

Rongchu's end.

She is not afraid of catching a cold in summer, Lin Hanbo took her and insisted on soaking the bucket of water from steaming hot to only remaining lukewarm.

Coming out of the cool water, Lin Hanbai calmed down.

But seeing Rong Chu's attitude of taking whatever she wants, letting you do whatever she wants, just for redemption, she feels that she won't be angry if she is a little more presumptuous.

Just followed my heart and pressed the person on the bed to do it again, but controlled the speed.

She couldn't bear to let her be so tired.

Rong Chu is like a light boat, with waves rippling on the water, she floats in it, swaying, and is so comfortable that she is about to fall asleep.

At the moment when her mind was relaxed, Rong Chu heard Lin Hanbai say in her ear: "Le Churong, I beg you, don't leave me behind, okay?"

Please.

My heart skipped a beat.

a long time.

"Okay," she heard herself say.

When this incident is over, I will marry you and never abandon you again.

***

Xiao Qi finally got a clue, let go of his plan to go back to his room to rest, and recharge his energy for tomorrow.

As soon as he entered the door, Min Yu'an greeted him.

She asked distressedly: "Why did you come back at this point? How did the investigation go?"

"We almost have a clue, let's continue tomorrow."

"I asked the kitchen to stew soup, and the dishes are still hot, should I eat first or wash first?"

"Let's wash it." Xiao Qi has no appetite to eat now, nor does he want to think about love.

Life and death are the greatest, and life is the most important.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, she was different from those lying on the side of the road.She has good food and vegetables, but they don't even have leftovers, only withered grass and gruel mixed with sand.

All Xiao Qi could do was to try his best to let the magistrate open a granary to raise food for them.

Manpower is limited, very hypocritical.

Xiao Qixing was not in high spirits, and Min Yu'an also cared not to disturb her, and stopped talking.

Min Yu'an helped her take off her coat, and wiped her face with a wet handkerchief wrung out of water.

It was done so smoothly that both of them forgot her noble status for a while.

Xiao Qi took the water glass that Min Yu'an handed over, took a sip, and tasted the sweetness with the tip of his tongue. When he realized something was wrong, he raised his eyes that had been drooping.

The inside of the cup is neither clear water nor herbal tea, but a clear brown color with a sour smell.The color is the same as the tea soup, but the taste is completely different. It is sweet and sour, and cool. It is a temperature that makes people comfortably close their eyes and enjoy it.

"This is?"

Min Yu'an refilled her glass: "Are you tired after running outside for a day? I made this sour plum soup today. I asked for the prescription from the imperial doctor. I stayed in the well for a day. It's ice cold. Drink more. Don't suffer from heat stroke."

The rock sugar was given just right, Xiao Qi couldn't help drinking one cup after another.Min Yu'an was filling her up on the side.

She seemed to be all about her.

Xiao Qi drank it sullenly, but recalled the moment when he entered the door and saw Min Yu'an, her eyes lit up instantly, she couldn't fake it, she waited for him in the room all day.

——Like a little woman busy with her husband, her world only revolves around her.

He even chased her to Duye City.

Xiao Qi's nose was sore, it was clear that she had such great ambitions, but she was willing to do this for herself.

How can oneself be.

Min Yu'an immediately saw what was wrong with her: "What's wrong? Is it not good to drink?"

A child who is loved by someone is always righteous, Xiao Qi became coquettish for the first time: "Sour~"

"How could it be?" Min Yu'an sang with her hand, "It's just right, I gave you enough sugar."

Having said that, he planned to go to the kitchen: "I'll add some sugar."

Xiao Qi pulled Min Yu'an back: "No, it's sweet enough."

"Really?" How can you say sour when it's sweet enough?

"Try it if you don't believe me." Xiao Qi put down the cup and hugged her.

Kissing is inevitable.

The smell of hawthorn, ebony and licorice was passed between each other's breaths, and when the heat lowered by the sour plum soup rose again, Xiao Qi let go of Min Yu'an, and hugged him even tighter.

This embrace makes her attached.

Even in the scorching heat, when the tip of her nose was sweating, she was reluctant to let go.

Min Yu'an: "Why does it still taste bitter?"

Xiao Qicai remembered that he had eaten grass and hadn't rinsed his mouth yet, and he didn't know how to explain to Min Yu'an that he had lost his mind.

Min Yu'an only thought that the amount of ingredients she put in was wrong, and she planned to put more licorice tomorrow, but she simply complained and kissed again.

She said: "I also like bitter ones."

Xiao Qi suddenly thought of a word: share joys and sorrows.

Sweet and sour, bitter, salty and spicy.

I want to share all the flavors in this world with you.
