Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 203 I have something to discuss with her

People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are quite annoying, but sometimes, such a temperament is also beneficial.

For example... when you threaten her with her life, she will become extra obedient.

Ye Lingxi came to Xitong City for the first time, and she didn't even know where the gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened. Fortunately, Yuzhu led the way and found the place in a short while.

On the way back to Qiongdu from Beishan Village, I passed many small and large towns along the way, and Ye Lingxi, the city lord's mansion, also saw many of them.

Compared with the majestic style of other main cities, the city lord's mansion in Xitong City is not small, but it is not luxurious. On the contrary, it has a low-key sense of simplicity.

For someone like Ye Lingxi who doesn't have much research on architecture, the conclusion can be summed up in one sentence - this looks like an old house.

"The Fang family has been the city lord for five generations in a row, and has experienced a change of dynasty in the middle, but the position of the city lord has always been occupied by the Fang family."

Yuzhu tried her best to please Ye Lingxi all the way, and after arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, she did not forget to tell Ye Lingxi about the family history of the Fang family.

"The city lord and the city lord's wife grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They have been engaged since they were young, and they are very affectionate after marriage. The city lord only married his wife, and has no other concubines. He also has only one son, the young city lord."

Because the people left in the mansion were all infected with the disease, there were no guards guarding the gate of the city lord's mansion, only a porter in his forties was left to take care of the entrance and exit of the mansion.

Yuzhu went up to knock on the door. The concierge obviously knew her, and was surprised to see her come back, "Yuzhu? Didn't you go out of the city with the young city master to seek refuge? Why are you back?"

"I..." Yuzhu felt aggrieved as soon as she mentioned this, "I also contracted the disease suddenly today, and the young city master sent someone to send me back."

"Oh, what a crime!" the porter lamented, "I thought that the people who went out to seek refuge would survive anyway. If they can't even avoid this, then there is no way out!"

"Why is there no way out?"

Ye Lingxi stepped forward, secretly looked at the man carefully, and said with a smile: "As long as people are still alive, there must be hope. Don't they say that there is no unparalleled road?"

The concierge didn't notice Ye Lingxi before, and when she came forward to speak, he turned his head to look at her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you..."

"This is Mr. Inspection Department from Qiongdu." Yuzhu hurriedly introduced, "She is a doctor, and she came to our Xitong City to treat our illnesses!"

"Such a young female doctor?"

The concierge was full of surprise, but knowing that Ye Lingxi had the status of "Inspection Department", he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and opened the front door respectfully, and welcomed Ye Lingxi in.

"Originally, it was time to inform Madam first, but at this time, it doesn't matter so much."

The concierge turned his head to cover his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed several times, and told Yuzhu, "I'm the only one guarding this gate now, and I can't get away."

"Yuzhu, Ma'am is now in the bedroom of the Lord of the main courtyard, take this lord to see Madam, don't neglect your lord."

Yuzhu originally planned to bring Ye Lingxi there by herself, but she didn't refuse after hearing this, and led Ye Lingxi to the main courtyard.

The concierge looked at Ye Lingxi's back, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a pity, such a young girl is also beautiful, why can't she think about it so much, she just came to die."

Ye Lingxi didn't go very far in the first place, and with her sharp ears, she listened carefully to those words.

She didn't care about the concierge's attitude, she just thought about what she saw when she came all the way.

There are not many people on the street now, and the few people I met on the road also had red eyes and coughed non-stop.

When she looked at the concierge just now, she noticed that his eyes were also red, but the cough was not that severe, and there were some abscesses on his hands, but they were not too serious, and there were no other obvious symptoms.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Yuzhu, "Before I came to Xitong City, I read some documents reporting the epidemic situation, and I also read a lot of related cases."

"According to the record in the case, after suffering from this kind of epidemic, besides fever, don't you generally have symptoms such as red eyes, headache, abscess, cough, and unconsciousness?"

"I just saw that the concierge seemed to be in good spirits, and you too... It seems that you have no other obvious symptoms except fever."

"Yes." Yuzhu stopped walking, rolled up her sleeves and showed Ye Lingxi that some abscesses had grown on her upper arm.

"It's also on the chest and back, that's the first symptom."

Yuzhu said calmly: "As the time of being infected becomes longer, the symptoms will become more and more serious. Like red eyes and persistent coughing, these are symptoms that only appear after two to three days after being infected."

"I... I just got infected today, so I still can't see it from the outside."

Ye Lingxi couldn't help frowning, "Ji Linyuan has already..."

"Senior Ji has been sick for four days."

I heard Fang Jue mention it before, but now that I got confirmation from Yuzhu, Ye Lingxi's heart still sank, and the expression on her face became more serious.

According to those case records, no one survived more than seven days after contracting the disease.

Ji Linyuan has been sick for the fourth day now, and the time left for her...is running out.

According to Yuzhu, the maid in charge of sweeping the yard was the first to contract the disease in the mansion. "She has been infected for the sixth day today."

"It was also after that that everyone in the mansion contracted the disease one after another."

Yuzhu was extremely frustrated when she talked about this, "After finding out that she was infected with the epidemic, she was obviously isolated immediately. Who knows that the epidemic could not be stopped in the end."

"Originally, I had the opportunity to be transferred to work in the Zhuangzi in Lincheng, but the monthly payment there was less, so I begged my wife to keep me in the mansion."

"If I had known that Xitong City and the mansion would suffer such a catastrophe, I might as well have gone to that village at that time!"

Yuzhu was still lamenting that her fate was not going well, but Ye Lingxi didn't listen to her complaints at all, and was still thinking about something.

When Yuzhu led her to the main courtyard, she suddenly said: "You said that the girl who got sick the first time is already the sixth day?"

Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, she was the first to get sick."

"There are so many people in the mansion who have contracted the disease one after another, so that means that the number of days they have been infected is also different, right?"

Ye Lingxi asked this question, and Yuzhu couldn't figure it out. She didn't understand the point of her question at all, but she nodded in response, "Yes."

"Very good!" Ye Lingxi's eyes lit up, and her whole body seemed to be suddenly full of energy.

"I was thinking that it would take a while to investigate, but it happens that they are all in the same mansion, so it can save a lot of effort."

Yuzhu was stunned for a while, completely unable to keep up with Ye Lingxi's train of thought.

Ye Lingxi didn't bother to explain to her, and said directly: "Go and ask your wife to come out, I still have something to discuss with her."
