The depression of the past few days, coupled with the fear of death, made the surrounding crowd seem to have lost their minds and kept making noises.

The sound rose from wave to wave.

Looking at the crowd gathered around.

For a moment, Shen Ruoyan felt a little regretful for what she had done.

But on second thought.

When she chose to stay, she already knew that she would face many difficulties. These were not the so-called difficulties.

Thinking about it this way, I felt relieved immediately.

The crowd gathered around shouted loudly and became more and more excited. Seeing that this was not the solution.

Shen Ruoyan was so anxious that she was sweating all over.

He raised his head and suddenly saw the huge lantern that Tang Xiuyuan had driven out overnight.

To ensure that it would not be blown away by the wind, a rope was tied to the ground below the lantern.

For safety reasons when going out, Tang Xiuyuan tied it to the pillar of the Huxin Pavilion, thinking that it would not hurt others if it fell.

The space in the pavilion is limited, and now there are so many people standing, all of them are close to each other. Shen Ruoyan is squeezed out of sweat, and she stands on tiptoes with great effort, and asks a secret guard holding a bow and arrow beside her: "Are you sure that that person will be killed?" Just shine the lanterns down?"

The secret guard raised his head and measured the distance, "No problem."

"It's best to shine the lanterns into the crowd." Shen Ruoyan added.

The secret guard took the order, took a few quick steps, jumped out neatly, and climbed to the top of the pavilion.

A man dressed in black suddenly appeared above the pavilion, and the crowd was quiet for a moment.

I saw him standing tall and straight at the highest point of the pavilion, holding a bow and shooting an arrow. A silver arrow pierced the sky, flew towards the lantern floating in the air, and accurately shot the rope connected to the brazier below. root.

Without one side's support, the brazier swayed, and the huge lantern also became shaky.

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the huge thing floating towards them.

However, in the next moment, another arrow shot towards the lantern.

This time the arrow passed directly through the main body above, creating a hole in the surface of the lantern.

The heat that had gathered inside the lantern suddenly surged out from the hole. The lantern floating in mid-air suddenly deflated and gradually fell downwards.

Seeing that it was about to overwhelm him, the crowd below was frightened and hurriedly backed away.

There was a loud "bang" and the lantern fell down.

The moment it touched the ground, the wood in the copper basin ignited the main body of the lantern, and it immediately burst into flames.

This lantern has a special place in everyone's hearts.

Seeing that this beacon that once brought hope to everyone was now turned into a ball of flame, the originally excited crowd became silent.

Shen Ruoyan took this opportunity to squeeze out from the crowd.

She stood in the middle of the covered bridge, surrounded by rippling water. Her half-veiled face revealed only a pair of beautiful eyes, and her strange and alluring aura made people think of a fairy who had descended from the mortal world.

"Mrs. Lu, you must be Mrs. Lu." A mother squeezed out from the crowd.

Taking into account the secret guard in front of her, she failed to rush over. She plopped down a few feet away from Shen Ruoyan, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the ground three times.

Then, she raised her face, revealing her red and swollen forehead, and letting everyone see clearly the child she was holding in her arms.

This child was probably only five or six years old, and his originally round face was now covered with dense red rashes.

Perhaps because it was too itchy, the doll's cheeks were scratched in several places. The bright red blood streaks and dark yellow pus mixed together and stuck to the skin stickyly.

Just seeing it gave people goosebumps all over their bodies.

When everyone around saw her bringing a child with plague, they gasped and backed away in fear.

Many of them came to Lu Mansion because they were afraid of contracting the plague, hoping to seek a chance of life. However, they never expected that their actions would bring them closer to life. Sick people.

Everyone looked at each other with caution.

He was afraid that someone else around him might also be infected with the plague.

The woman ignored the strange looks from the people around her. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Ruoyan again, crying and begging: "Mrs. Lu, please do good and save my child."

Shen Ruoyan could see the child's miserable condition from a distance, and a shiver ran down her spine.

She couldn't help but touch her belly. Shen Ruoyan calmed down and said to the woman in a loud voice: "I am not a doctor, and I don't have any so-called panacea. I really can't help you."

The mother refused to believe it and begged, "Please, please save her. My baby is only five years old. If she dies, I don't want to live anymore."

Facing the sound of crying and fighting, Shen Ruoyan was helpless.

Suddenly he remembered the bottle of medicine that Sun Qiuwei left for him.

Should I take out the bottle of medicine?

The woman lowered her head, lifted her child up high, and begged painfully: "Mrs. Lu, I know you must have a way to save my child. Please give my child a medicine.

As long as you are willing to save my child, I will be your ox and horse from now on, and you can do anything you want. "

Shen Ruoyan touched her waist with her fingers, but did not take out the bottle of medicine.

She didn't know yet whether this bottle of medicine was useful or not. If it could really cure the plague, wouldn't it confirm the rumor that she had the medicine to cure the plague?

So today, no matter whether the medicine is real or fake, she cannot take it out in public.

Shen Ruoyan continued to persuade: "Madam, I am just a mortal, how can I find any magical methods?

This child looks very cold. You'd better take him home as soon as possible. Listen to the doctor's advice and cultivate himself well. Maybe there will be a turn for the better. "

The child curled up in his mother's arms, his whole body trembling slightly, and he made painful moans from his mouth.

The lady lowered her head and shed tears, looking at the twitching baby in her arms. She seemed to have had all her strength taken away from her, and murmured to herself: "Go back?

When you go back, why don't you just wait to die?

My child is still so young, he cannot die!

Why don't you save my child?

You must have something, they all say you have a miracle medicine, why don't you take out the medicine and save my child! "

The mother became more and more crazy as she talked, and finally she stared at Shen Ruoyan with red eyes and threatened loudly: "If you don't save my child, I will die with you today!

I want to see if you are also infected with this plague, is there really no cure? "

With that said, she picked up the child and rushed towards Shen Ruoyan regardless.
