Chapter 698

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Lintian shouted angrily: "Don't you take the military order seriously? The princess asked you to wear it, so of course there is a reason for you to wear it!"

"If you don't value your own life, you can't ignore the lives of others... Have you ever thought about whether your companions will be affected by you if you are infected with the plague?"

"It's not that serious! I'm in good health, so I won't..."

Li Qiang was still thinking about defending, but Xiao Lintian said impatiently: "Stand aside first and don't touch other people! If you dare to disobey military orders again, you will be severely punished!"

Ling Yu glanced at Li Qiang speechlessly, not in the mood to talk to him. She took out sterile gloves from the medicine box and walked over to inspect the body.

The corpse was that of a male, only twelve or thirteen years old. There were many pustules on his exposed arms, all of which were ulcerated.

Ling Yu also saw traces of bleeding under his skin. It had been more than three days since his death. The body had been exposed to the sun and was somewhat smelly.

Ling Yu went to check another corpse.

The corpse was that of a woman, in her thirties, and it looked like she had only been dead for a day.

First domain name

She also had pustules on her body and subcutaneous bleeding.

Ling Yu took some of her blood, then straightened up and walked back.

"How? What caused the plague?"

Xiao Lintian asked eagerly.

"It's still unclear what caused it. You have to give me time to check! Let's go in and take a look first!"

Ling Yu glanced at Li Qiang and said: "This guard, let him rest alone first! Don't let anyone touch him! I will check him again after we have checked clearly!"

Xiao Lintian glared at Li Qiang and said to Lu Qing: "Lu Qing, bring a guard to watch over him! Make sure no one comes into contact with him!"

"Yes!" After Lu Qing was rescued by Ling Yu, he still had some sequelae and his speech was not as fluent as before.

Ling Yu was afraid that the horse would be infected with the plague if it entered the village, so he proposed to leave the horse and walk there.

Xiao Lintian and others abandoned their horses and followed Ling Yu.

When she saw the abandoned patients on the roadside, Ling Yu walked over.

This is a pair of grandfather and grandson. Both of them were infected with the plague. The grandfather is in his fifties and the grandson is only seven or eight years old.

Seeing a group of officers and soldiers walking towards them, the old man pulled his grandson behind him and looked at Ling Yu and the others warily.

"Old man, you don't have to be afraid, we are sent by the imperial court to treat you!"

Ling Yu walked not far from them and said softly: "Old man, I am a doctor. Can you let me check you out?"

The old man said nothing and just stared at Ling Yu.

Xiao Lintian also stepped forward and said: "Old man, we have brought a lot of medicine... This doctor is the famous miraculous doctor in the imperial capital, Lady Ling. You just ask her to treat you!"

The old man's eyes were cloudy and he was as skinny as a stick. He didn't know if he couldn't understand what they were saying, so he remained silent.

"He must be deaf!"

Zhao Xuan followed him and said when he saw that the old man was silent.

Ling Yu still said patiently: "Old man, if you don't want to see a doctor, forget it, but your grandson is still young, so don't you want the chance to be treated?"

Xiao Lintian and Zhao Xuan saw the old man's eyes move and turned to look at the child hiding behind.

"My disease cannot be cured! It's because of this that my mother and father left me and my grandfather and took my brother away!"

The child opened his mouth and his voice was weak. Only then did Ling Yu realize that this was not a boy, but a girl. She had some pustules on her face and her hair was all stuffed into an old hat.

"Kid, what's your name?"

Ling Yu asked softly.
