The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Li Ruan was still a little confused.

He learned this method from a storybook. It is said that as long as men like it, it is the most suitable for coaxing people.But he swallowed it just now, why did Jiang Shen...

"Are you uncomfortable?" Li Ruan asked in a low voice.

Jiang Shen: "..."

Just now he came out in a hurry, Li Ruan didn't have time to dodge, most of it was swallowed by him, but the corners of his lips were accidentally stained a little.Coupled with his current look, it's terrible.

Jiang Shen's breathing sank again, and his voice was a little hoarse: "...No."

Li Ruan: "Then why..."

Jiang Shen: "...don't ask."

Li Ruan looked at him innocently.

Jiang Shen took a deep breath, tightened and loosened the arms around the young man, loosened and tightened again and again, and finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart after repeated times.He took out Zhang Sipa from his arms and wiped Li Ruan's lips.

His little fox can't be satisfied once, if he doesn't let him have fun, he won't be able to calm down for the night.

But they don't have enough time right now.

Jiang Shen wiped his lips clean, leaned over and took another bite, said viciously: "After returning to the palace, let you try it, and you will know whether it is comfortable or not."

This little fox is so impatient to be teased, it might be faster than him.

See how he laughs at him then.

Jiang Shen thought angrily in his heart.

They waited until the moonlight hung high, and finally waited for the movement.

Later, Jiang Shen regretted why he hesitated just now.

This waiting time is enough for them twice.

But this idea only turned in Jiang Shen's mind, and he found it funny again.

I don't know when it started, His Royal Highness, who is calm and dignified in the eyes of others, has been completely led astray by this little fox, and his mind is full of unscrupulous thoughts.

It's sunny tonight with a beautiful moonlight.

Looking out from the reeds, one can see someone quietly leaving the village under the moonlight from a distance.

It was the village boy they met during the day.

The young man looked left and right, as if extremely nervous and cautious, and seeing no one around, he quickly ran forward along the path.When he got under a tree, he was stopped by someone.

Jiang Shen came out from behind the tree and said softly, "Young master, we meet again."

The young man didn't expect that there would be someone guarding here, so he didn't stop for a moment and almost collided with Jiang Shen, and quickly stepped back a few steps: "You...how are you here?!"

"And me." Li Ruan poked his head out from behind Jiang Shen, smiled at the young man, and then said to Jiang Shen, "You are amazing, how did you guess that he would sneak out of the village?"

Jiang Shendao: "I just know that he will definitely leave the village tonight. But whether he will come out by himself or someone else will bring him out, I'm not sure."

Li Ruan: "Why?"

Jiang Shen looked down, looking at the boy's attire.

He was still wearing the narrow-sleeved corset that he wore during the day, but the sleeves that were originally rolled up for the convenience of work had all been put down, covering his arms tightly, leaving a few clear creases on the sleeves .

Jiang Shen looked up at him again: "Are you infected?"

The boy was startled, and subconsciously covered his arm.

When this strange disease was rampant last year, Jiang Shen knew about it.Infected patients had red and swollen skin at first, and then gradually began to feel hot and itchy, unable to stop wanting to scratch.And the red and swollen skin will become extremely fragile, and it will be scratched with a slight scratch, and the wound will gradually expand and fester, and even spread all over the body.

The condition deteriorates to the worst, and even if it is worn by slightly harder clothes, it will be damaged.

When Jiang Shen saw the boy at the entrance of the village in the afternoon, he saw similar redness and swelling on his arm, but at that time, it seemed that even the boy himself didn't notice it.

"I guess you will probably notice the redness and swelling on your body when you go home." Jiang Shen said, "What I'm not sure about is whether you will report to the government and let the officials take you away, or to avoid being imprisoned. Sneak out of the village by yourself. But no matter what kind, you can only wait until night."

So they have to wait here, and when night falls, there will naturally be an answer.

Li Ruan suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this."

He looked at the boy in front of him: "Are you really infected?"

The boy lowered his head: "I..."

But he soon felt something was wrong: "Wait, who are you guys and why do you know about this disease?"

"You don't need to know." Jiang Shen said, "You just need to tell me what happened in this village, and why did you help the government to hide the truth?"

Boy: "Because...because..."

He hesitated to speak, Li Ruan looked impatiently and asked: "The government won't threaten you, will it?"

The boy was startled again.

He looked up at Li Ruan, then at Jiang Shen beside him, and finally nodded slightly.

The strange disease appeared seven or eight days ago.

At first, it was the heads of several households in the village who started talking nonsense and became unconscious.At that time, everyone thought that they were possessed by evil spirits, and they were still discussing to invite a mage to cast spells to exorcise the evil spirits.But later, the sick people began to swell and itch all over their bodies, and their skin festered.

The village head invited a doctor to treat them, but they never got better, and more and more people in the village were suffering from strange diseases, even in several nearby villages.

As a last resort, everyone can only report to the government.

But the government couldn't come up with a solution, so they could only smuggle those patients out of the village and treat them in isolation.

The explanation given by the government is that because the situation is unclear now, everyone should not spread the matter for the time being, do not leave the village these days, and do not allow strangers to enter the village.

The effect is actually there. Since the patients were sent out of the village, there have been no new patients in the village for several days.But those patients who were taken away never came back. No one knew whether they were dead or alive, or whether their condition had improved.

"The girl you saw today is my younger sister." The boy said, "Our father has been taken away for many days. My younger sister is very worried about my father's safety and wants to sneak out of the village to have a look."

"But the government has already issued an order that no one is allowed to leave the village, and no one is allowed to leak the news. Anyone who violates the law will be arrested and jailed. That's why I stopped her."

"So it's like this..." Li Ruan said angrily, "Sure enough, it's the government's problem again."

During the day he heard Jiang Shen talk about the way the county magistrate treated the people last year, and he was very angry, and now he heard the young man's words, and he felt even more indignant.

Li Ruan said seriously: "Don't worry, we will help you."

The boy looked at him for a moment, then hurriedly looked away, his cheeks blushed quietly.

Jiang Shen: "..."

Jiang Shen coughed lightly, and calmly took half a step to the side, blocking the little fox behind him.

When he spoke again, his voice was a little cold: "You said that there have been no patients in the village for many days, so how did you get infected?"

The boy didn't speak again, but subconsciously hid his arms behind his back.

Jiang Shen continued to ask: "Your sister is worried about the safety of her family and wants to sneak out of the village. Are you not worried at all?"

The boy still didn't answer, but Jiang Shen already knew it in his heart.

The disease is not contagious at the beginning, and it is possible to be contagious only after contact with a patient whose condition has deteriorated seriously.However, there have been no new patients in the village for many days, let alone people whose condition has deteriorated.The only explanation is that the young man did not fully obey the government's request, and secretly came into contact with patients.

Even, probably more than once.

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes: "Did you hide someone from the government...?"

The night was dark, Jiang Shen and Li Ruan followed the boy into the mountain.

The mountain road at night is not easy to walk, but the young man is familiar with the road when he walks, as if he has walked it countless times.He led the two of them along the mountain road for about a stick of incense, and saw a ruined temple on the side of the road from afar.

The dilapidated temple has been abandoned for a long time, and the walls are mottled and peeled off, and the original color cannot be seen.There was no light in the ruined temple, but as soon as they approached, they heard dull noises coming from inside.

The young man's face changed, and he quickly pushed open the gate of the ruined temple and ran in.

"Doctor Cao!"

Jiang Shen was not in a hurry to enter the door, he turned his head to look at Li Ruan who was following behind him, and said in a low voice, "Don't touch anything after entering, just follow me closely".The latter nodded obediently, and the two just stepped into the ruined temple.

After seeing the situation inside the ruined temple, he was stunned.

There were indeed people in the ruined temple.

And there are still many people.

The simple mats were spread from the main hall to the yard in front of them. More than a dozen men in their prime were lying on the mats with their eyes closed. Some of them were still muttering something, but most of them were already unconscious.

In front of the main hall directly in front of them, a thin man was holding down another tall and strong peasant, almost unable to control him.

"Li Er, your wife and mother are fine, sober up!" the man gritted his teeth and held him down, shouting loudly.

The exposed arm of the farmer named Li Er was almost completely festered, blood oozing out whenever he struggled.He was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and raised his slack eyes: "Are they all right?...Did they take their medicine?"

"Didn't eat." The man seemed to be extremely exhausted with every word he said, panting, "You are the only one in the family who is sick, and they are well. They don't need to take medicine, so don't worry."

"They didn't take medicine...they didn't take medicine..." The farmer relaxed all his strength, muttered in a low voice, and finally stopped moving.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, got up and wanted to drag him back, but he couldn't.

"Doctor Cao, let me help you."

The boy ran up to him, but before he touched anyone, the man quickly waved his hand: "Don't touch it, gloves...the gloves I gave you, go and put them on."

He also wore a pair of gloves on his hands, which should be made of some kind of animal skin, but due to the violent struggle of the farmer just now, most of them had already fallen off.

The blood on the opponent's body flowed down the leather and all onto his wrist.

The boy looked at the bloodstain on his wrist, and the man noticed it, and lowered his head to look.But he just smiled casually and wiped it off with his sleeve.

Then I saw the person who came in behind the boy.

"You are……"

Jiang Shen asked: "Are you that Dr. You Fang who lives outside the capital?"

This title made the man slightly taken aback.

He looked at the two of them again for a long while, and seemed to realize something. He quickly stood up and bowed to the two of them: "I am Cao Xianqing. You two...are you the nobleman that Young Master Lin has found?"

Jiang Shen was a little surprised.

He and Li Ruan looked at each other, Li Ruan asked: "A Xue mentioned us to you?"

"Axue... yes." Cao Xianqing said, "Mr. Lin said that the strange diseases in the nearby villages are very troublesome. He will find noble people to come and save the people from the fire."

He fell to his knees with a thud: "I beg you two to save the people here!"

This Dr. Cao was extremely thin, wearing a long gown that had been mended many times, and probably hadn't been changed for many days, and the gown was stained with a lot of blood.He still looks young, but there are a few strands of white hair faintly visible in his hair, he is probably not young anymore.

Jiang Shen stepped forward to help him, but the latter dodged him.

He seemed to feel a little impolite, and explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have stayed with the patient for too long, and my body...is infected with illness, it is better for you to stay away from me."

Jiang Shen frowned, only then did he notice that Doctor Cao looked really bad.

His face was extremely pale, and he looked extremely tired when he spoke, as if he couldn't lift his strength.He was wrapped in a long gown, but the exposed skin around his neck was slightly red and swollen.

Covered by the collar, it is almost invisible unless you get close.

"You..." Jiang Shen asked with dim eyes, "What's going on here?"

This is not a place where the government uniformly isolates patients.

Although Cao Xianqing claimed to be Dr. Youfang, he had been staying near the capital for these years, helping some poor people who could not afford to see a disease.A few days ago, he was invited by the head of Rongxia Village to treat everyone's strange illness.

But he soon discovered that the disease was very similar to the one that appeared in the south last year, and it deteriorated so fast that he couldn't cure it with many methods.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Changming Mountain to ask Lin Jianxue for help.

Lin Jianxue knows how to make alchemy to save life, but after all, she is not a doctor who cures diseases and saves lives. Cao Xianqing couldn't find help, so she had to go back to the village.But when he came back, the village had already reported to the officials, and the patient was going to be sent out of the village for unified treatment.

Cao Xianqing proposed to go with him and continue to treat the patients, but was rejected by the government and drove him out of the village.Cao Xianqing was worried, and secretly followed the official to the place where patients were isolated, only to find that...

"They didn't give medicine to the patients at all." Cao Xianqing sighed heavily, "At that time, more than [-] people in the nearby villages were sick, and they locked all the [-] people in a courtyard, I only sent someone to deliver food once, and I didn’t ask a doctor or use any medicine at all.”

Jiang Shen frowned.

Li Ruan was surprised: "How could they do this? Isn't that letting the patients wait to die?"

"It's true." The boy whispered, "My father is also inside."

"My father was one of the first few people who got sick. When he was taken away, he couldn't even stand up. I was very worried, so I secretly followed the official to go there once."

He lowered his head and did not continue speaking, but his expression was a little sad.

Cao Xianqing said again: "I have been wandering around there for the past few days. The officials are afraid of being infected, so they dare not get too close to the courtyard. I took advantage of their unpreparedness and climbed over the wall to change the medicine for the patient."

"Then I met this kid."

"In the past few days, some people in the village fell ill from time to time. We couldn't rescue those who were locked up, but we couldn't let others be locked up. So, we secretly took them out of the village and hid them here. But..."

However, there is no cure, and the condition of these people can only slowly deteriorate.

Cao Xianqing sighed heavily again, bent down, and dragged the sick farmer to the ruined temple.

His hands trembled slightly, and he seemed to have no strength, dragging very slowly.

"Doctor Cao, let me help you." The young man stepped forward.

"No, don't touch it." Cao Xianqing hurriedly stopped him, "I told you not to come here all the time, if there is any sick person in the village, just tell me, in case you get infected..."

When he said this, his voice froze.

He looked up again at the sleeves that the young man put down, his eyes sank: "Roll up your sleeves and let me have a look."

The boy hid his arms behind his back: "I..."

Cao Xianqing closed his eyes.

He dragged the peasant back to the mat next to the ruined temple door, turned around and walked in, and when he came out again, he was already holding a small medicine jar in his hand.

He stuffed the medicine pot into the young man's hand and said, "You know how to apply this medicine, you go back right away, don't go out for a few days, and don't contact anyone. I will take care of your father. go."

"Doctor Cao, I—"

Before the young man could say anything, Li Ruan seemed to have noticed something suddenly, and turned his head to look outside the ruined temple.

Jiang Shen noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Ruan said: "There are people outside."

As soon as he said this, several people in the ruined temple were shocked.

"Could it be that they came here with us?" The young man asked anxiously, "But I saw just now that all the officials guarding outside the village have left. How could it be..."

Li Ruan shook his head: "They didn't follow us."

On the way here just now, he could feel his surroundings quietly. When they came, there was no one following them.

Boy: "Then why..."

"Of course it's to catch you all!" A voice came from outside the door, and someone kicked the door open forcefully.

The visitor was dressed as an official, and was about to rush in, but when he looked up, he saw patients all over the ground in the yard. The group of people changed their medicines. Fortunately, the master had a clever plan and judged that this matter could not be done by only one person, and he waited until this time before finally arresting you on the spot."

"...what else do you have to say!"

Cao Xianqing asked, "Are you following me?"

"Naturally." The man said again, "Doctor Cao, we have been watching you for a long time, but we didn't expect you to hide in this ruined temple. Now the evidence is convincing, you..." When he said that he almost wanted to step into the ruined temple again. Temple, but hesitated for a moment, still did not dare to come in, shouted, "Come out, follow us to the government office!"

"you……"

Just as Cao Xianqing was about to speak, Jiang Shen shook his head at him, and walked a few steps towards the gate of the ruined temple: "Can I ask, which law has this Doctor Cao violated, and he will be arrested and sent to the government office?"

"why you?"

The one who came to arrest Cao Xianqing was the official who Jiang Shen and Li Ruan met in Rongxia Village during the day.

He frowned, and shouted again: "During the day, I thought you two were sneaky, so you were with Cao! That's just right, take them away together, and hand them over to the master!"

He didn't intend to answer Jiang Shen's question at all.

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then let me ask one last question."

"...Is the master you mentioned surnamed Wu?"

This group of officials were all cowards, they didn't dare to enter the ruined temple, and they didn't dare to take away all the patients that Cao Xianqing had rescued.

In the end, they just escorted the four of them down the mountain.

Cao Xianqing's condition is still very bad. When walking, he is unsteady and wobbly, and he can't keep up.The officer behind him had no patience, and pushed him every few steps, pushing him almost to the point of falling.

But even so, he still refused to let the boy help him.

Jiang Shen frowned slightly, and looked at the official behind him: "I advise you not to push him anymore."

The official reprimanded: "Where is the stinky boy, he will be imprisoned soon, and dare to point fingers at the official?"

Jiang Shen withdrew his gaze and said coldly: "If you are not afraid of getting sick, you can continue."

The official was startled, looked at Cao Xianqing's bloody body, realized something, and quickly wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes.

Didn't dare to touch any of them again.

Jiang Shen and Li Ruan walked side by side, tilted their heads and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired from walking?"

"Not tired." Li Ruan said, "I just ate your essence, now I have energy, and I can still fight."

Thinking of how Li Ruan Fangcai ate the essence, Jiang Shen coughed lightly and looked away.

Li Ruan asked again: "Do you know the master they mentioned?"

"It's not really an acquaintance." Jiang Shen said lightly, "A few years ago, I met a bully who robbed a civilian girl on the road in the capital, and turned her to the government. It was that Master Wu who received the complaint. At that time, I confessed to him identity, he promised me that the bully would be dealt with according to law."

As soon as Li Ruan heard what he said, he guessed that there should be something hidden in it, and quickly asked: "He won't let him go?"

"Almost." Jiang Shen mentioned this matter with a faintly displeased tone, "I was busy at the time, so I forgot about it not long after. Later, when I went to investigate, I found out that the bully belonged to a wealthy businessman in the capital. Young master, I have a very good friendship with the third child. The third child heard the news of his imprisonment, met with the government, paid some money and released him."

He laughed lightly: "Later, the youngest came to me on purpose and said that the robbed civilian girl had already married the rich man and was pregnant with a child, so let me not pursue it any further."

"It was also because I was soft-hearted towards the third wife at that time. In addition, this matter has been going on for a long time. One of the parties is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and life is going well. If I continue to manage it, won't I become a stickman? That's all."

Li Ruan pursed her lips.

He quietly stretched out his hand and took Jiang Shen's hand hanging by his side: "But I think what you did at the beginning was right."

"I know." Jiang Shen smiled, "Even if I do it again, I will still do it. The law is the law, and favors are favors. Anyone who wants to act beyond the law should pay the price."

Li Ruan looked into the distance, several villages at the foot of the mountain were in darkness, only a torch was still burning outside the courtyard: "I just don't know, does that master still remember you?"

If you remember, you will be shocked.

It's getting late now, and the capital has already had a curfew, and no one is allowed to enter the city.The officials couldn't escort them back to the government office, but fortunately, because of the recent strange illness, the government office has left a yard nearby to handle business.

Now the master lives in the yard.

The official sent them to wait outside the yard, and someone went into the back room and called the door: "Master, Master? Everyone has been arrested, do you want to interrogate now?"

There was no movement in the house, probably because he hadn't woken up yet.

Li Ruan yawned.

Although he had eaten Jingyuan today, he has been trained by Jiang Shen to work and rest very regularly. Except when the two of them are making out, he goes to bed very early at night. It has been a long time since he stayed up so late.

Still a little sleepy.

Li Ruan rubbed his eyes, and regardless of the many people present, he staggered and fell on Jiang Shen, who took advantage of the situation and hugged him into his arms.

"What are you doing!" The officer who arrested them saw him and said displeasedly, "I asked you to wait here for the master's interrogation, not to talk about it, let me separate!"

As he spoke, he wanted to pull Li Ruan away with his hands, but Jiang Shen hugged the boy in his arms tightly, and dodged sideways lightly.

"Oh, you're the only one who knows kung fu, right?" The official sneered and rushed forward again.

The official did know a little bit of kung fu, but his little kung fu was like a three-legged cat in Jiang Shen's eyes.Jiang Shen held Li Ruan in his arms and retreated step by step. After a few rounds, the officials didn't even touch the hem of their clothes.

But in this way, Li Ruan couldn't rest well.

He was so sleepy that he lost his temper, and said angrily, "Why don't you let me hug you? Is it because you don't have hugs at home, so you can't see him?"

There were a few low-pitched laughs from around.

"You—" the officer was so angry that he yelled, "You guys are laughing, my wife is doing a good job at home, you can hug her any way you want!"

"Boss, don't be angry." Someone in the crowd spoke up, "We just remembered, did sister-in-law hold you by the ear last time and beat you from the government office to home?"

The laughter in the yard grew louder.

"Shut up!" the officer said, blushing, "I'll fuck you all, and separate the two of them!"

The leader gave the order, and the officials stopped laughing.

They all gathered around.

"No matter how fierce sister-in-law is, the boss is still infatuated with sister-in-law." In the crowd, another human said, "This kid is so beautiful, the boss doesn't even have the slightest thought of pity, tsk tsk..."

"It's a pity. If you are caught from that kind of place, you may get sick or go to jail."

"Then it's better to go to jail and visit him at any time."

The person who finally spoke was a short and fat official, his words were frivolous, and the meaning of flirting in his words was undisguised.When he spoke, his eyes kept looking at Li Ruan, and he smiled maliciously.

Even the young man who was arrested with them couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you all officials or bandits, how can you be so—"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shen suddenly stepped forward and kicked the last person who spoke to the ground.

"If you don't want these eyes and this tongue anymore, I can cut them off for you right now." Jiang Shen said coldly.

Jiang Shen didn't spare any strength in this kick, the official officer felt that this kick seemed to have a mighty force, he couldn't even get up from the fall, he clutched his chest and didn't speak for a while.Everyone rushed to help him, but more people surrounded Jiang Shen and Li Ruan.

"What are you still doing, call me!"

I don't know who shouted around, and everyone was about to make a move when the door in front of them suddenly opened.

"What are you making a fuss about in the middle of the night?" The man who came out was over fifty years old, and his hair was already grey.He obviously just woke up, he just put on a coat casually over his coat, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

The leading officer rushed forward and said: "Master, this man beat up the officer, we are going to teach him a lesson."

"Beating officials, who is so bold?" Master Wu said, slowly looking into the yard.

Then I saw a man standing in the yard.

Standing where he was, Jiang Shen hugged Li Ruan into his arms again, and looked up at Master Wu.Master Wu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, then raised his head, and took a deep breath: "Ma'am——"

The official said: "I don't understand the rules too much!"

"I'll fuck you!" The official was kicked away by Master Wu, and he almost dodged because of too much force.He didn't even care about the fall of the outer robe on his body, he took a few steps forward while supporting his old waist, and knelt down in front of Jiang Shen with a plop: "Ma'am——His Royal Highness! Cao Min pays homage to His Royal Highness!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

The official who had just been kicked to the ground by Jiang Shen didn't recover until now. Hearing the master's words, he almost fainted again, and said in a daze, "He he...is the prince? Then the one beside him..."

His voice was extremely low, but he couldn't hide it from Li Ruan, whose hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people.Li Ruan was still leaning in Jiang Shen's arms, and felt that Jiang Shen seemed really angry at the moment, so he raised his head.

He doesn't really care what mortals say about him, but he doesn't want Jiang Shen to be angry.

"Why are you so ignorant of the rules?" Li Ruan turned her head to look at that person, and said with a smile, "I want to call you the princess."
