Jiao Luan

Chapter 483
The first one to come out was a woman, holding a three or four-year-old baby in her arms.

The woman's hair was disheveled, her gaze was dull, she was moving here little by little rather than walking, when she suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, the baby in her arms was silent.

The yamen servants saw her and wanted to reach out to help her, but fearing that the woman had already contracted the disease, they silently withdrew their hands.

The people who came out from behind were numb and watched silently.

Cheng Wei knew that it was very important to heal the first person, not only the common people who were in urgent need of treatment, but also the officials who came with her also needed a reassurance.

She walked up to the woman and stretched out her hand: "Sister-in-law, I'll help you up."

The woman raised her head and stared blankly at the young girl standing in front of her.

The girl combed her hair in a bun and was dressed in a Taoist robe. Standing in front of her like this, she seemed like a god and man descended into the world, without any trace of fireworks.

"You, are you the Nine Heavens Xuannv?" The woman's eyes were fascinated, and she suddenly kowtowed on the ground, "Xuannv Empress, please save my son, save my son!"

Cheng Wei leaned down and helped the woman up: "Sister-in-law, I'm not a Xuannv, I'm Xuanwei, a Taoist priest from Xuanqing Temple, and I'm here this time to drive away the epidemic for you. Show me the child."

Cheng Wei didn't wear a veil to conceal his appearance. In this devastated place, the shock that such an image brought to these desperate people waiting to die was beyond imagination.

Without hesitation, the woman immediately handed over the child.

The three or four-year-old baby was so light as nothing, and it didn't even move its eyelids when it was in Cheng Wei's arms.

The little official holding the gong shouted, "Let go of the Taoist chief, this child is already in the late stage of the disease!"

As soon as these words came out, those yamen servants immediately took a few steps back.

"It's not late, it's not late, my son was still called mother yesterday!" Hearing what the little official said, the woman shouted as if her last hope had been taken away.

The little official backed away again and again, pointing at the woman and shouting: "She, she is also infected with the disease!"

"Okay, all of you, calm down!" Cheng Wei carried the little doll to a line of half-human-high vats, and ordered the two Taoist boys who followed him, "Fill half a basin of water and give the doll a fresh start." washed to the feet."

"Yes, Master Uncle."

The two Taoist boys acted immediately, one scooped water from the wooden barrel, and the other quickly stripped the little doll's clothes and put it into the wooden basin.

The naked little doll was washed from head to toe under the crowd watching, wrapped in a thin cloth prepared earlier, and held by a Taoist boy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the little baby who had been silent all this time suddenly hiccupped.

With ecstasy in her eyes, the woman rushed over and shouted, "My son is awake, my son is awake!"

Cheng Wei stopped the woman: "Sister-in-law, you have already contracted the disease, if you touch the child, the child will be infected again."

"I, what should I do?" The woman looked blankly at her hands, then raised her eyes to look at the calm girl, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed vigorously, "Miss Xuannv, please help me, I want to be with me." together..."

Cheng Wei turned his head and signaled to the Taoist boy beside him.

The Taoist turned around and used a wooden spoon to fill a small bowl of water from the big wooden barrel, and handed it to the woman.

The woman took it and looked at Cheng Wei hesitantly.

Cheng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law drinks this glass of water, and the disease in her body will be cured. After that, you and your child can leave Dongcheng District and temporarily resettle in Xicheng District."

The woman drank it without hesitation, and asked Cheng Wei anxiously: "Miss Xuannv, can I really be with my son?"

"Yes."

Daotong handed the doll to the woman.

The woman quickly took it, and shouted: "Gouba, Gouwa, can you hear mother calling you?"

The little baby slowly opened her eyes, and cried out with difficulty: "Mother—"

The woman wept with joy, turned around with the baby in her arms, and shouted: "Uncle, Second Aunt, you all come quickly, the fairy water brought by Empress Xuannv is really effective! Gouwa can call my mother now, and I can call me!" Damn!"

A yamen servant stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, Daoist Xuanwei has explained that the talisman water you drink can only get rid of the disease in your body, but it can't prevent reinfection. Take your child and stand over there and wait for a while. Someone will take you out."

A woman set this precedent, and the people who were watching rushed over immediately.

The yamen servant shouted: "All line up, come one by one! Those who can drink the fairy water are lined up here, and those who can only breathe are carried to the other side, and men and women wait to be wiped."

Seeing that everything went from being hectic at the beginning to being well-organized later, Cheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Sister, go over there and have some tea."

"Ah."

Cheng Wei walked under the temporary awning, and before he finished his cup of tea, the long queue broke out in commotion.

The yamen servants yelled loudly, but the commotion grew bigger and bigger.

Cheng Wei and Master Beiming looked at each other and walked over together.

"what happened?"

Dao Tong, who was holding a wooden spoon, was almost squeezed away by the rioting crowd, and shouted: "The Fu water has bottomed out!"

It turned out that when the people saw that the anti-epidemic talisman water in the barrel was about to run out, the people in the back line became anxious.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. These epidemic-dispelling spirits are made by the poor Taoist sister. She will make them again when they are used up."

Master Beiming's words made the crowd silent for a moment, and they all looked at Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei nodded and said: "That's right, don't worry everyone. Xuan Wei came here under the order of his teacher to get rid of the plague, and he will definitely do his best. As long as the patient infected with the plague is alive, he won't let him lose his life!"

Cheng Wei's words were obviously more soothing than that of Master Beiming, and the team calmed down again.

She ordered Daotong to fill the empty wooden barrel with clean water, and under the attention of all people, she began to make talismans.

In the eyes of Master Beiming, Cheng Wei is making talismans, but in the eyes of others, she is dancing a strange dance.

After the dance, everything is quiet, only the little aura around the girl seems to be able to make an ethereal sound, falling into the clear water, and falling into the hearts of all people at the same time.

Like a heartbeat, the people all knelt down.

"Miss Xuannv has manifested, Empress Xuannv has manifested, we are saved!"

For these people, the miracle they saw with their own eyes was even more shocking than the shock they received just now when they saw that the talisman water could cure diseases.

a few days later.

"Daoist Xuanwei, please take a break, your body will not be able to bear it if you keep making talismans like this."

Under the scorching sun, seeing the girl dancing the talisman again and again, since the first day she entered Dongcheng District, everyone persuaded her.

"It's okay, I can still support it with the help of Senior Brother Beiming with the Qi-Cultivating Talisman. The epidemic is different from other diseases, and the speed of infection is fast. If it is delayed for a day, many people will lose their lives. It is better to resettle the people of Dongcheng as soon as possible." yes."

At this time, a yamen servant ran over and said out of breath: "Master Dao, there is a girl who claims to be your servant girl and insists on breaking in, saying that she has something urgent to see you!"

Cheng Wei's expression changed slightly: "Hurry up and bring her to see me!"
