Ma Xiaoquan was a little helpless, but in front of everyone, he couldn't refuse Fang Qiaoer directly. Forget it, let's go out with him first.
Just like that, under the laughter of everyone, Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, pretended to be innocent, and followed Fang Qiaoer out of the house.
The two of them walked in tandem and reached a place where no one was around. Fang Qiaoer suddenly turned around, approached Ma Xiaoquan, raised his head and said, "You are not from here, are you?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, then shook his head quickly and said, "What are you talking about? I am from here, and there is proof of my identity in the household."
Fang Qiaoer hummed and said, "I've seen the identity certificates of everyone in this household, but you... don't have any."
Ma Xiaoquan continued: "Didn't the steward also say that he did it himself? Don't you still believe it?"
Fang Qiaoer said: "How can I not know what the pervert has in mind? Okay, since you won't tell me, I don't want to ask any more questions. Today, you have to stay with me for the whole day."
Ma Xiaoquan missed Beiming Shuangxue at home and said: "Miss Fang, I don't think it's better than this, just two hours. There are twelve hours in this day. I will stay with you for two hours, a total of six days. It's okay for us to be separated."
Well, I still have my wife at home, and I don’t worry about her being alone.”
Fang Qiaoer thought for a while and said: "That's okay, then you come with me~"
Ma Xiaoquan followed Fang Qiaoer to the door of a villa. Fang Qiaoer knocked on the door. When a servant saw that it was her, he quickly saluted respectfully.
"How is the young master?" Fang Qiaoer asked the servant.
"Reply to the lady, the young master is in a bad mood. He is angry all the time and has smashed a lot of things."
Fang Qiaoer sighed, shook his head and said, "Don't you dare to go in and take a look?"
There was fear in the servant's eyes, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, saying: "Miss, you just want me to die, and I am willing to do so, but I still want to be reunited with my family, and the young master's disease, the little one is
I am indeed afraid..."
"Sick?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Fang Qiao'er and asked, "Why, your brother is sick? What disease?"
Fang Qiaoer glanced at Ma Xiaoquan resentfully and sighed: "Actually, I also know that this is a bit difficult for you, but I really have no choice. The disease my brother has will be passed on to others, and none of us dare to get close..."
"What's the disease?"
Fang Qiaoer frowned slightly and said: "Smallpox~"
"Smallpox?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, thinking that smallpox is a terminal disease and cannot be cured. Good guy, if you get this disease, you will basically die.
"Ma San, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this to you. I hope you can forgive me. My brother is very good to me and I don't want him to die..." Fang Qiaoer said, covering her face and crying.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said, "If that's the case, then I can help you with this."
Fang Qiaoer was stunned, raised his head and shook his head: "No, you will be infected with smallpox..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "No, don't worry. Well, take me to see your brother..."
Fang Qiaoer nodded and led Ma Xiaoquan to the door of a room.
There were sounds of miscellaneous things coming from the room, accompanied by the sound of a man coughing.
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is your brother in this room?"
Fang Qiaoer nodded.
"Okay, so, Miss Qiao'er, please help me get some bath water. After I meet your brother, I need to wash myself. Well, please help me prepare a new set of clothes."
"good."
...
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, reached out and pushed open the door, and saw a shoe thrown towards him.
Ma Xiaoquan took advantage of the situation and took a closer look. On the bed, a man with herpes on his face was looking at him angrily.
Fang Qiaoer stood outside the door and saw her brother who had changed beyond recognition, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The man also saw Fang Qiaoer outside the door. He stopped trying to smash the pillow he had just picked up.
"Qiao'er..." The man made up his mouth and called out bitterly.
Fang Qiaoer cried: "Brother...brother..."
Ma Xiaoquan turned around, glanced at Fang Qiaoer, and then said: "Okay, I'm going to close the door~ Let's go get water."
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan closed the door.
Seeing his sister, the man seemed to calm down a lot. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan walking towards him, the man said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that my smallpox will spread to you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head and said, "I've had it once before. As long as you get this thing once, and you recover, you won't get it again."
The man seemed to know the characteristics of smallpox and couldn't help but sigh: "You are very lucky, I am not so lucky..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you won't live long... Your name is Wan Shanhe, right?"
The man nodded: "Qiaoer told you, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan accepted the doctor. In fact, he saw the other person's name from the two identity certificates he tore up.
"I thought you were siblings?"
The man smiled and said: "We are exactly the same, we just have different mothers. Qiaoer's mother died early, and she was raised by my mother, so we have a good relationship. According to the rules of our family, women cannot take the family name.
Yes, I can only take my maiden name."
"I see, then why did you come here from the Heiqing Kingdom? Doesn't a country as big as the Heiqing Kingdom have a way to cure smallpox?"
The man shook his head: "If it had happened a long time ago, we also heard that there is a Vulcan Empress in this country who can cure diseases, so we wanted to beg her, but unfortunately we never saw her."
"Aren't you nobles? The Black and Green Kingdom in the second period is so powerful, is it possible that even if you want to see the Vulcan Empress of this small country, you can't?"
When Ma Xiaoquan asked this question, he was also confused. Although he had already determined that the "Vulcan Empress" was Li Qinghan, he was still very cautious before seeing her.
"You may not know that the Vulcan Empress is not available to everyone. Our king of the Black and Green Kingdom once wanted to summon her, but he refused. The king was very angry about this and even sent an army to say that he would take her away by force.
, It’s a pity that in just one night, the army of thousands of people was burned to pieces by the Vulcan Empress..."
"So powerful?" Ma Xiaoquan was surprised, but he was very appreciative in his heart. Is that so? How can I, a woman of the Ma family, be threatened by others?
"Well, later on, the king also felt that this matter was too much, so he stopped pursuing it."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Your king is also a hero. He can take things up and let them go. No wonder the Black and Green Kingdom is so powerful."
"Haha..." The man smiled proudly, "It's a pity that I can't live much longer. We have been here for some time. I have planned to let Qiaoer incinerate me when I die.
Come on, take my ashes back..."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said, "Then if you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me... maybe I can help you..."
The reason why Ma Xiaoquan said this was because he wanted to know the other person better. After all, what he tore up was this person's identity, and what he would pretend to be in the future was also this person's identity. If he didn't know him better, he might not be able to pretend well.
The other party did not doubt Ma Xiaoquan. He sighed and said, "How many days do you think I can live?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "When I got smallpox in the past, it was not as severe as yours. It was just the beginning. Thanks to my luck, I managed to survive it. But in my village, people like you can only survive for half a month at most."
"Haha... half a month... Well, in this half month, you take time to come here every day, and we can have a good chat."
Ma Xiaoquan was overjoyed, but on the surface he was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, but I also have a wife at home, and I'm afraid she'll be worried."
"Don't worry, it won't take you long. I just want to talk to you about Qiao'er and me. From now on, I will ask you to take care of Qiao'er."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "I have a wife, so I can't take a concubine~"
"Haha, you have a beautiful idea. How can you, a commoner, be worthy of Qiaoer? Besides, Qiaoer is also engaged. I just want you to protect her until the day she gets married."
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, but you'd better talk to Miss Qiao'er about this matter again to avoid misunderstandings~"
"In this case, you can..."
...
After walking out of the room, Fang Qiaoer had already prepared bath water and a change of clothes. Ma Xiaoquan walked out with a letter, unfolded it in his hand, and showed it to Fang Qiaoer.
Fang Qiaoer read it again, her eyes turned red, and said: "This is my brother's handwriting, Ma San, thank you~"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "Forget it, I won't say anything more. I just hope that you two, brother and sister, can be well and that you can accompany your brother through these last few days."
"Well, the shower is in the back and the clothes are ready. You can go~"
...
After coming out of Fang Qiaoer's house, Ma Xiaoquan felt a little depressed. Although this matter had nothing to do with him directly, he still felt a little regretful when he saw the man named Wan Shanhe die like this.
"That's all, no matter what, I still have to pretend to be him..." Ma Xiaoquan comforted himself and nodded, walking towards home.
Back home, Bei Mingshuangxue saw Ma Xiaoquan come back with a change of clothes and asked him what happened. Ma Xiaoquan truthfully told him what he had encountered today.
"What? There is such a thing. So, isn't that Fang Qiao pretty?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes: "It's already now, and you still care about this matter... Let me tell you the truth, it's like this..."
