Another day passed in the blink of an eye, and the early morning sunshine filled the inner city, reflecting mottled spots on the uneven land and low houses.

"This used to be where the poor lived. Look at those houses. They are short and dilapidated." Ye Yuxiao walked in the early summer wind and pointed out the crooked houses to Ouyang Sheng.

"If it wasn't a place where poor people lived, people wouldn't be locked up in the epidemic." Ouyang Sheng watched the summer wind blowing the scattered hair on her forehead, and wanted to use his gloved hands to straighten it for her. "But this is not bad. You have never seen thatched houses in the countryside. They fall down when the wind blows."

"Our patients don't even have thatched houses." Ye Yuxiao carefully turned sideways and passed between the two shabby mats.

There is a serious shortage of housing in the inner city, and tents have not yet been put in place. Many patients can only sleep on the ground, without even beds or bedding. A ragged mat is considered a VIP.

"Wait a minute. If Dong Likai hasn't replied by noon, I'll help you find him." Ouyang Sheng knelt down and helped a patient with limited mobility put on his straw sandals.

He had been hanging out with Ye Yuxiao in the inner city for a few days and had long given up his identity as the Marquis of Yingchuan. Even when he was putting on shoes for a pariah, his movements were extremely natural.

Ye Yuxiao turned back to look at him, with a smile in his eyes: "A Sheng, you are getting more and more handsome."

Can you praise something else? Such as temperament and connotation. Ouyang Sheng pretended to straighten his face, but the upturned corners of his lips betrayed his true mood at the moment.

Ye Yuxiao waited for him to come closer and walked side by side with him, saying: "I really didn't expect King Heng's attitude towards the plague this time. It's a pity that Dong Likai doesn't buy his account."

"What is King Heng's attitude? What is King Heng's attitude?" Ouyang Sheng asked in surprise.

"Didn't you see Zhang Changshi angrily beat Dong Likai and scold him for troubling human life? Doesn't Zhang Changshi's attitude represent the attitude of King Heng?" Ye Yuxiao said.

"Ha!" Ouyang Sheng slapped her on the back with his gloved hand, "If King Heng really sympathized with these affected people, why didn't he leave Zhang Changshi to sit here? Didn't you see that Zhang Changshi passed the message to us the day before? After you finished speaking, you ran away the next day?"

"Huh?" Ye Yuxiao suddenly felt that his mind was a little lost.

"He just saw your uncle trapped here, so he sent a message back to Beijing to sell you a good son. A man who is violent and has never valued human life will suddenly sympathize with a group of people infected with the plague. A civilian?" Ouyang Sheng said, patting her again.

He hit it again and again. Although it was not serious, Ye Yuxiao felt a hint of sourness and couldn't help but call out: "Brother Jealousy!"

Who is jealous? He is analyzing human nature for her! Ouyang Sheng gave her another blow angrily.

"Doctor Ye! Save people! Save people!"

"Doctor Ye, hurry, hurry, or you will lose two lives!"

Suddenly, someone rushed towards me. It was a volunteer from the inner city.

As soon as Ye Yuxiao heard "one corpse, two lives", she started running before she even asked about the situation.

He's quick to respond, decisive, and doesn't even say a word of nonsense. He's really good material for big things. ...She is indeed his woman. Ouyang Sheng silently praised Ye Yuxiao and followed closely behind.

While leading the way, the volunteer told Ye Yuxiao the situation: "Just now, a man brought a big-bellied woman into the inner city. The big-bellied woman was infected with woolly plague and died even after walking a few steps. Dong Yuan The envoy and Dr. Xue placed her in the open space in front of the inner city gate, but her husband insisted that you go to see a doctor and did not allow envoy Dong and Dr. Xue to get close..."

While he was talking, he arrived at the open space in front of the inner city gate. As expected, there was a pregnant woman lying on the ground with a high belly. Next to her, guarding a young man with a beard. On the other side of the pregnant woman, Dong Yi and Xue Fanling stood. There were several other patients watching from a distance.

As soon as Dong Yi saw Ye Yuxiao running towards him, he immediately said to the bearded man: "Okay, okay, Doctor Ye is here. You should feel relieved now and let her treat your wife quickly."

Ye Yuxiao ran forward and asked breathlessly: "Name? Age?"

As she asked, she squatted down and prepared to check the pregnant woman's pulse. Unexpectedly, before she could squat down, the pregnant woman suddenly put her hand into her towering belly, quickly pulled out a sharp knife, put it on her neck, and then pulled out another knife and threw it to the bearded man.

Everything happened in an instant, and everyone was unprepared and stunned.

The volunteer leading the way stared at the pregnant woman for a while and shouted: "Now you have to search yourself when entering the city gate. They are pretending to be pregnant women to hide knives!"

The fake pregnant woman smiled, obviously the volunteer guessed it right.

He held Ye Yuxiao hostage and stood up. His voice was thick and hoarse: "I have no choice but to pretend to be a big-bellied woman. Who let our master contract wool plague? But you don't have to worry, wait until Dr. Ye cures our master." I'll send her back immediately."

Ye Yuxiao understood immediately after hearing this: "The residents in the southeast corner of the outer city?"

The fake pregnant woman smiled again: "My master does live in the southeast corner of the outer city."

Ouyang Sheng wanted to break his neck immediately, but he was afraid that if he acted rashly, Ye Yuxiao would be accidentally injured, so he could only clenched his hands into fists: "Your master wants to treat a disease, why bother to kidnap Doctor Ye? County Magistrate Dong and Ye The doctor has an agreement, and when he delivers the medical supplies, Dr. Ye will naturally go."

The fake pregnant woman laughed for the third time, and there was a strange hint of embarrassment in her laughter.

Ye Yuxiao suddenly understood. It must be that Dong Likai wanted the resident in the southeast corner to be cured, but was reluctant to give her medical supplies, so he asked these two people to kidnap her.

No wonder he said he needed to think about it that day. He might have made the decision at that time. He was just worried that she wouldn't be able to leave if she refused, so he used consideration to prevaricate her.

What a great Dong Likai, it is truly amazing to be able to do this as a human being. Ye Yuxiao gritted her teeth in hatred, but the sharp knife was pressed tightly against her neck, making her unable to make any small movements. It was really suffocating her to death.

"Don't come here! Let us go! Otherwise, if I slit Doctor Ye's throat with a shake of my hand, don't blame me!" The fake pregnant woman held Ye Yuxiao hostage and slowly backed away. The bearded man held the knife and guarded him.

"Wait a minute!" Ouyang Sheng suddenly said, "There are many patients in the southeast corner of the outer city. Dr. Ye can't handle them alone. Take me with you."

The fake pregnant woman didn't recognize him as Marquis Yingchuan, but she still rejected him without hesitation: "Stop trying to trick people and think we are fools? You are a big man and tall, and you are afraid of a fight. We are not at all." Your opponent."

He has good vision. As long as they dare to let him get close, they are indeed no match for him, even if they are holding knives. However, how could he get close to these two people when they were so vigilant? Ouyang Sheng felt a little worried.
