Before being exiled, the medical concubine emptied the palace and married the male lead and his uncl

Chapter 28 Cholera
In the middle of the night, outside the station.

Three or five ragged beggars gathered together, muttering quietly.

"Really do this?"

"Yes, it must... I've seen it. That woman got off the carriage during the day, so she must have money."

"That's her, we must get the money, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, the others understood what he meant, and their eyes became firmer.

"Go!"

The beggar in the lead gave an order, and the others smeared and entered the station together.

Song Qingyou spent money to get an empty room from Big Beard, and rested in the room with Xiao Qishu at night.

Since the beginning of exile, Xiao Qishu fell into a deep sleep to recover his strength except when he was unwell and unable to persist. He usually sleeps lightly and is always on guard against possible accidents from the outside world.

So when someone entered the room in the dark, Xiao Qishu woke up immediately.

He did not get up immediately to check the situation, but quietly waited for the other party's movements. When the person slowly approached, Xiao Qishu's muscles began to tighten, and he was in a state that could explode at any time.

Song Qingyou was sleeping, and didn't realize that someone was quietly coming to her bed.

The man in the darkness grinned and reached out to grab Song Qingyou. However, before his hand could touch Song Qingyou, Xiao Qishu had already struck out like lightning, directly grabbing the beggar's hand and cutting it behind his back.

"what!"

The beggar's cry of pain awakened Song Qingyou, and at the same time alerted the other accomplices, they turned their heads and fled outwards. However, when they dared to escape to the door, they were blocked by the officials who came after hearing the news, and they were easily killed. It was taken down.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak in in the middle of the night?"

The officials suppressed several people and questioned them angrily.

The people in the second room of the Xiao family's main house also gathered around when they heard the commotion. Seeing these beggars, they immediately remembered what happened during the day, and their faces turned ugly.

At this time, the beggar caught by Xiao Qishu was also thrown out. Song Qingyou supported Xiao Qishu and stood at the door, looking coldly outside.

She didn't expect that these beggars were so bold and dared to enter their room in the middle of the night.

"Tell me the truth, what do you want to do?"

The knife in the bearded man's hand was directly stuck on the table, and there was a few flashes of cold light, which made the beggar's legs go limp in fright, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"We just want money. We saw that this lady has money during the day, so I got evil intentions and wanted to kidnap her and ask for some ransom... We have no choice. We don't have money for medical treatment. We are going to die..."

The unkempt beggar lowered his head and whispered timidly, the exposed skin was already a little festered, densely covered with scabs that formed after scratching.

Song Qingyou's expression changed slightly at the beggar's words.

If Xiao Qishu hadn't been vigilant tonight, I might have been quietly kidnapped by someone right now.

The beggar kept begging for mercy: "Many people have died, we don't want to die, please reward us with some money for a doctor."

"A lot of people died?"

Song Qingyou's instinct as a doctor immediately grasped the key point of the beggar's words and frowned.

The beggar nodded, fearing that others would not believe him, he told all the details like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Only then did Song Qingyou know that a disease appeared among those beggars at some point, vomiting and diarrhea, and killed many people in a short period of time. Some people wanted to ask a doctor to treat them, but they were all people without money , There is no way to invite a doctor, so some people think of the idea of ​​stealing money.

"Vemiting and diarrhea, fast death... This is, cholera!"

In an instant, Song Qingyou guessed what the disease was, and his expression suddenly changed. He pulled Xiao Qishu and took several steps back.

Seeing Song Qingyou's reaction, the others quickly asked, "Did you know something?"

"If what he said is correct, it is a highly contagious cholera. People who are infected will develop symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea in a short period of time, and then the body will become dehydrated and weak and die..."

As soon as Song Qingyou finished speaking, the others took a few steps back almost at the same time, staying far away from the beggars, with a look of fear on their faces.

"This, this is an epidemic!"

Mrs. Xiao murmured, the other people also had the same thought in their hearts.

In this era, diseases that will cause large-scale infections and serious consequences are called epidemics, and every time an epidemic occurs, it means that many people will lose their lives.

"They must have been in contact with those patients. Maybe they are sick themselves. What should we do? We were so close to them just now, so we won't be infected?"

Xiao Ningning yelled, her face paled.

Tang Yulian's legs were almost weak, but Xiao Yiran looked at the beggars with a serious face, and stepped back a little unnoticeably. Lin Shuang, the second roommate, even blocked his children behind him, preventing them from getting closer.

The bearded man instantly pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at the beggars, with an angry look on his face.

"Bastard, since you are sick, why do you still come out and let the epidemic spread, you have a few heads to chop off!"

If he hadn't thought about the possibility of being infected if he got close, the bearded man would have stepped forward and chopped down several people. Such a pariah would simply die without mercy.

The beggars kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while.

"Where are the people you said are sick?"

Song Qingyou asked suddenly, and when she got the answer, she immediately turned her head and said to the bearded man, "Now we must organize people to isolate those places as soon as possible to prevent the virus from spreading..."

Listening to Song Qingyou's eloquent talk, Xiao Ningning's eyes were full of jealousy and hatred, but after thinking about it, a vicious thought immediately popped into his head.

"Song Qingyou, since you have medical skills and you speak so eloquently, there must be a solution, right? Why don't you go and treat them to prevent the virus from spreading and harming others."

As Xiao Ningning said, he called out the bearded man in a pretentious manner: "My lord, what do you think of this idea?"

Although Big Beard had lost face because of Xiao Ningning before, after Xiao Ningning took the initiative to comfort her several times, he forgave her. Now that she called her with a soft voice, he naturally turned his heart towards Xiao Ning. On Ning's side, and after this period of observation, he also discovered that Song Qingyou must have more good things hidden in him. He had long wanted to find a reason to kill the person, and then take those good things as his own.

What's more, this epidemic is not a trivial matter, and every time it occurs, more than a thousand people will be killed or injured.This Song Qingyou spoke convincingly, with a confident look, maybe she really has some good way to cure the disease.

If not, she would be nothing more than an exile if she was infected. She would be dead if she died, and there would be no loss if she was thrown to him on the spot.

But if he is really cured, he will report it to the superiors and take the credit. Is he afraid that he will never get ahead?

After weighing it like this, he quickly had an idea in his mind.

"Mrs. Xiao third, since you claim to be good at medicine, then the matter of treating those people is in your hands."

Big Beard directly left this matter to Song Qingyou, regardless of whether she agreed or not.

Complacent, Xiao Ningning immediately agreed, "My lord, if she can't be cured, it must be a lie to say that she has medical skills. This kind of liar can't be kept, and it is most appropriate to kill her directly."

The bearded man nodded in agreement: "Yes, if you dare to lie to me, you have to think about your own end."

Song Qingyou looked at the two people singing and harmonizing, and sneered in her heart.

It seems that these people can't wait to solve themselves.

Unfortunately, their wishful thinking will come to nothing.

"Okay, I will accept this."
