Liu Qingcao was silent for a long time, and finally looked into the distance. It was already past noon, and every busy person in the town government didn't have time to eat.

In the house, Wan Huaimin drank a bowl of porridge, and his body became much cleaner.

When he came over, he happened to hear Xia Gengcai's words, paused for a moment, and walked in with his back straightened.

"Master Xia."

"Wan Lizheng."

Xia Geng turned around and saluted respectfully.

"Wanli is just right."

Seeing Wan Huaimin, Liu Qingcao smiled and saluted.

Wan Huaimin nodded slightly, and said to Xia Geng.

"Master Xia, I feel refreshed today, you can go to Xin County with me."

"Wan Lizheng, this bumpy road, your body may not be able to take it. Just tell me what you want to do, and I will send someone there." Xia Gengcai was worried about Wan Huaimin's health, and he couldn't bear his tiredness, so he persuaded him.

Liu Qingcao looked up at Wan Huaimin, and found that his condition was indeed much better than before.

In fact, Wan Huaimin didn't have any major physical problems, the main reason was that he was too worried, overworked, and lost his body.

If he spends some money on recuperation and takes more rest, he will gradually get better. However, Wan Huaimin is a very competent parent official, so his heart can't rest, and naturally, his body will become weaker and weaker.

"Master, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I know my body very well. Let's go and explain to Wu Hu. Let's go there earlier so we can come back sooner."

Xia Geng realized that he couldn't persuade him, so he withdrew from the arrangement.

Liu Qingcao stood aside, playing with her fingers idly.

Wan Huaimin stood with his hands behind his back, and looked deeply at Liu Qingcao with his dark gray eyes. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and spoke with a faint smile.

"Qingcao, you can go too."

"?"

Liu Qingcao raised her head in surprise, with a puzzled expression on her face, she didn't know what Wan Huaimin wanted to bring her to Xin County.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just taking you to have a look. If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Wan Huaimin's wrinkled face showed a gentle and kind smile, like an old father, Liu Qingcao thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement.

After Xia Geng made arrangements, the three of them headed for Xin County in a carriage.

Two hours later, the carriage started to drive into the city gate of Xinxian County. Wan Huaimin lifted the curtain and looked out. After a long time, he put down the curtain and closed his eyes with a sad expression.

Xia Gengcai and Liu Qingcao looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

You don't need to look at the situation outside, just listening to the sound can make you depressed and uncomfortable.

When the carriage drove to the gate of the county seat, they were persuaded by the coachman to retreat.

The three of them got out of the car together and looked at the huge gate of the county seat, which was completely blocked by the crowd, and were shocked in their hearts.

"It's fine this morning, the carriage can still go in, but now it's difficult for people to get in, this disease is too severe, it's better for you guys to leave earlier."

The coachman turned the carriage around and did not forget to give a few words of advice when he left.

Liu Qingcao, wearing a mask, raised her eyes to look around, her clear and bright lychee eyes suddenly shrank.

The scene in front of her made her terrified, flustered, and her spine shivered!

Corpses were scattered all over the place, the state of death was horrible, or there were people who were about to die, prostrate on the ground, their eyes closed tightly in pain, and someone stepped on him, but they only frowned subconsciously, and didn't even groan.

What was even more shocking was that those babies, who were tender and cartilage, had already become a puddle of bloody debris, silent under the soles of the crowd's shoes!
"Wan Lizheng..."

Liu Qingcao suppressed the palpitations in her heart, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips trembled.

Wan Huaimin looked at Liu Qingcao's terrified appearance, sighed, and thought to himself that his heart was too big, no matter how smart this girl was, she was still young after all, seeing this scene suddenly, she would inevitably not be frightened, I just hoped that the little girl would not be scared. There is a shadow in my heart.

"Don't be afraid, come and walk among us."

Wan Huaimin waved, motioning Liu Qingcao to come closer.

Liu Qingcao recovered from her gaffe, nodded obediently and leaned over.

She has never seen such a tragic scene in her life. The current situation is eye-catching and heart-breaking. If her mental quality is weaker, she is afraid that she will become depressed and ill.

Crowded all the way forward, Liu Qingcao and Xia Gengcai were both in good health, and they could bear the squeeze, while Wan Huaimin's legs and feet were a little weak, but he didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and persisted.

When he got to a slightly open place, Wan Huaimin couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the ground.

"Wan Lizheng!"

"Wan Lizheng!"

Xia Gengcai and Liu Qingcao spoke out almost at the same time, ran over in two steps, and helped Wan Huaimin up on the ground.

"Wan Lizheng, drink some water first."

Liu Qingcao took out the bamboo kettle, poured a glass of water and handed it to Wan Huaimin.

Wan Huaimin smiled and nodded, took it and drank it in one gulp.

"Ok?"

Wan Huaimin looked up at Liu Qingcao, and then at the glass in his hand. He always had the illusion that the glass of water Liu Qingcao gave him was very unusual.

"What kind of water is this?"

"Tiger bones have been soaked. Drinking it can strengthen your body and refresh your mind." Liu Qingcao said with a smile without changing her face or heartbeat, looking back at Wan Huaimin's eyes with pure and harmless eyes.

Wan Huaimin nodded, handed back the cup in his hand to Liu Qingcao, and walked briskly in front, it took him a long time before he opened his mouth.

"This tiger bone water is good, but unfortunately it can't cure this disease."

"I still have tiger bone wine at home. Wan Lizheng doesn't dislike it. I'll send you a jar when I get back."

Liu Qingcao followed behind him, answering unhurriedly.

A small spoonful of spiritual spring water will not be suspected by Wan Huaimin, and tiger bones do have a certain function of strengthening the body.

Even if the tiger bones are soaked in water, how to soak them is very particular. If Wan Huaimin doesn't ask, she certainly won't take the initiative to explain.

The three of them walked in the cold wind, and the whimpering around them was blown away by the wind wave after wave, lingering in their ears and disappearing again.

Liu Qingcao didn't dare to raise her eyes to look around, she was careful and careful where she stepped, for fear that if she didn't pay attention, she would trample on other people's souls.

Xia Gengcai was silent, his expression was normal, no emotion could be seen, but his trembling fingertips betrayed his heart.

"Wan Lizheng."

"Ok?"

Wan Huaimin turned around, made a sound in his nasal cavity, looked at the person behind him, looked at him quietly, and didn't speak.

Xia Gengcai lowered his head in shame, and after a long while, he raised his head under Wan Huaimin's gaze.

"I understand what you mean, Lizheng, I am narrow-minded."

"Master Xia doesn't have to be like this. I can understand your thoughts. We have reservations about decisions we didn't make in person."

Wan Huaimin smiled lightly, if someone had taken him with him when he just took office, perhaps that place would not have become a purgatory.

At that time, I didn't understand the truth, and I just wanted to find a corner of peace, but in the end, even half of the peace was lost.

"In a catastrophe, what we can do is to help each other, not to keep each other."

After Wan Huaimin said this sentence, he swaggered away, Liu Qingcao and Xia Geng just looked at Wan Lizheng's back, unable to recover for a long time.

"Ugh!"

Xia Gengcai let out a long sigh, turned his head, and spoke to Liu Qingcao, his voice weak.

"Let's go."

Liu Qingcao nodded, and followed behind him with eyes and ears half closed.

The three of them walked to the gate of the county yamen, and saw the three-story yamen servants surrounded by inside and outside, holding knives in their hands, and looking ahead with serious and dark faces.

"I beg the county magistrate to save my children, save us..."

The woman with disheveled hair was kneeling at the gate of the yamen, her head hit the blue and white board heavily, blood was overflowing, flowing slowly on her face, as if she didn't know the pain, and she was like a madman.

"Master County Magistrate..."

The woman didn't stop, and she kept repeating a sentence. The man beside her, who was still alive, had a flushed face, more air intake and less air output, and the baby on his back kept humming, spitting out fine and dense bubbles. .

There was more than one case of people who kowtowed and yelled like this, and the entire county government gate was prostrate on the ground.
