”I didn't do anything. How could I be tired? Thank you for your concern.”
”Have a good night's rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow.”
Although Baizhi Ling didn't say that she was tired, she was still a little tired after a day's running. She lay down after Baili Moyu left to wash.
But she didn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about the Jincheng plague in her mind. She didn't know when she fell asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Bai Zhiling and Li Qing went out of the palace. In case, Bai limo sent Qingcheng to follow her.
”Where is Miss Bai going?”
”I'd like to go to the home of the first patient to find this disease.”
Qingcheng did not have any doubt, driving a horse with Angelica dahurica Ling left.
During the day, she can see the situation in Jincheng better.
To her surprise, the streets of Jincheng are almost as spacious as Kyoto. Although the shops on both sides of the street are closed, we can imagine how prosperous the city was before.
The carriage crossed the long street and came to a small alley. Because the alley was too narrow, the carriage could not get in. They could only get off at the entrance of the alley and walk in.
The family was in the middle of the alley, and the door was closed as they passed.
Li Qing came forward and knocked on the door.
It took some time for someone to come out and open the door.
It's a half year old boy.
”Who are you?”
”We are from the palace. We want to know something about the plague here.”
When the boy heard the word plague, a touch of fear flashed in his eyes. ”I don't think there's any plague in my family anymore.”
”Don't be afraid. We're just here to learn something. It won't hurt you in any way.”
The boy hesitated for a long time before he said, ”you wait.” Then he closed the door and left.
After a while, the closed door opened again.
The boy asked them in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple. There are a lot of firewood in the yard. There are only three rooms.
A woman with a headscarf saw them coming in and invited them to the hall in the middle.
”I don't know how many officials are coming today, but what's the matter?” The woman doesn't talk nonsense either. She asks directly.
”We heard that your husband got the disease first, didn't we?”
When it comes to her husband who died not long ago, the woman looks sad.
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, ”yes, we thought he had eaten the wrong food at the beginning, but it took only a few days There's no one left! ”
Baizhiling quietly relieved for a while, after the woman's mood was slightly stable, she said, ”before that, did you find anything wrong?”
The woman was silent for a long time before shaking her head.
”He used to work in a restaurant. Every day he either went to the restaurant or went home. Is there anything wrong?”
”What about food?”
”To eat?”
”Dad often eats in restaurants, not at home.”
The woman nodded and said, ”well, because I help in the back kitchen of the restaurant, the restaurant will give me a bite to eat.”
Angelica dahurica Ling asked some questions again. After she didn't get any useful clues, she left some cakes and left.
”Where are we going now, miss?”
Baizhiling closed her eyes and leaned in the carriage, sorting out the information she just got in her mind.
”Go and see that restaurant.”
”Yes.”
