I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 163: Flowers growing on the face.

There was still a long line at the entrance of Wanhetang today. Mu Feng, wearing a simple grey cloth shirt, was greeting patients to come in.

Jiang Xue saw that there seemed to be more patients at the door than yesterday, so she shouted to Mu Feng, "Mu Feng!"

When Mu Feng saw Jiang Xue, he asked the person next to him to take care of the patient, and he ran to Jiang Xue and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't contact me for a few days?"

Jiang Xue looked at the patients and asked, "What's going on? Why are there more patients than yesterday?"

Mu Feng frowned and scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. Doctor Liu couldn't explain it either. I was thinking of stopping and looking for you."

Jiang Xue frowned and said, "Let's talk about it after we go in."

"kindness."

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, someone in the queue started shouting, and the crowd instantly exploded.

Jiang Xue turned around and saw a child lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth. A flower was visibly growing on his face, then bloomed and withered, and finally his skin festered.

Jiang Xue ran over quickly, wanting to see clearly what was on the child's face, but when she got there, she only saw that the child's face was extremely ulcerated.

Jiang Xue immediately squatted down to feel the child's pulse, but she didn't expect that as soon as she rolled up the child's sleeves, flowers grew on her arms, and then quickly withered and ulcerated.

Then it spread to the child's neck, and the people around were panicked and stepped back in fear.

Jiang Xue could see clearly then that the flower growing on the child's body was flesh-colored, as if it had broken out of the skin. Its shape was like a flower, but it was actually a tumor.

Mu Feng looked at the situation in front of him, frowned and said to Jiang Xue: "This has never happened before."

Some people around were shouting in fear: "It's possessed, it's possessed, there's a monster."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue looked at the person who was shouting. It was an old man. Just as she was about to speak out to stop him, the old man's face suddenly developed the same spots as the child's, and then broke.

The old man was so scared that he fell to the ground and rolled over. However, the louder he screamed, the more flowers grew on his body. In the end, from head to toe, there was not a single piece of healthy skin on the old man's body.

Jiang Xue hurried over to check, the old man had already died, but his eyes were still filled with fear.

"Ah!" Everyone on the street shouted in fear, running and yelling everywhere, and the street suddenly fell into chaos.

Mu Feng hurriedly pulled Jiang Xue up and protected her behind him. The guards patrolling the street ran over to maintain order, but the common people were obviously extremely panicked and actually pushed the guards away.

The situation on the street became uncontrollable for a while.

Mu Feng shouted to Jiang Xue, "Miss, please go in first. These people are out of control."

Jiang Xue nodded, picked up the child and was about to walk inside.

Suddenly, an old woman in the crowd grabbed the corner of Jiang Xue's clothes tightly and begged with tears: "Save me, save me!"

Jiang Xue looked down and saw that spots were slowly growing on the old woman's face. Jiang Xue quickly put the child down and went to check on the old woman.

The old woman suddenly screamed and her face began to ulcerate. Before Jiang Xue could feel her pulse, the old woman died just like the old man just now.

Jiang Xue frowned. Why did these people suddenly become like this?

After Pei Zhijin left the court, he heard that there was a commotion in the streets. He brought people to maintain order before he had time to change out of his official uniform.

Wenchuan drew his sword and was about to charge at the crowd, but Pei Zhijin shouted, "Don't hurt the people."

Wenchuan paused, put away his sword, put it on his waist, and rushed into the crowd.

Pei Zhijin rode his horse and looked at the chaotic scene with a frown on his face. More and more people came. Jiang Xue could no longer enter Wanhe Hall and was pushed around in the crowd.

The same thing happened to Mu Feng. He was pushed far away by the crowd and called out to Jiang Xue anxiously, but there were too many people and Jiang Xue could not hear him at all.

Pei Zhijin spotted Jiang Xue in the crowd at a glance, flew off his horse and flew towards Jiang Xue, then pulled Jiang Xue up and flew back onto the horse.

Jiang Xue held the child in her arms and said to Pei Zhijin anxiously, "Someone died of a strange disease, which is why the people are so panicked."

Pei Zhijin nodded and looked at the child in Jiang Xue's arms. The left side of the child's face was so ulcerated that the bones could be seen inside, while under the fair skin on the right side of the face, something was slowly pushing up, and in an instant, the skin was propped up.

Jiang Xue hurriedly hugged the child and said to Pei Zhijin, "Take me to the side."

Pei Zhijin immediately grabbed the reins and walked to a deserted place nearby.

They stopped at a nearby open space, Jiang Xue jumped off the horse holding the child, then immediately put the child on the ground and took the child's pulse again.

Seeing that something in the skin was about to burst through, Jiang Xue desperately cut her wrist with a knife and dripped blood into the child's mouth.

Jiang Xue was not scared enough and squeezed her wrist hard. She didn't know if her blood would be useful or not, so she could only try her luck.

The child's throat moved slightly, and after swallowing the blood, the thing on his right cheek showed no signs of growing outwards, but slowly moved downwards until it disappeared.

Jiang Xue then stopped what she was doing and covered her still bleeding wrist. Her tense expression finally relaxed and she breathed heavily.

Pei Zhijin squatted down and took out a handkerchief from his arms to bandage Jiang Xue's wrist. Then he frowned and looked at the child and asked, "What was that just now?"

Jiang Xue fell to the ground and shook her head, "I don't know. Several people have grown flower-like shapes just now. They spread very quickly. Once they grow out, they will quickly wither and then the skin will break."

Pei Zhijin looked surprised, "What kind of disease is this?"

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "I don't know. It's very strange. I've never seen it before."

Wenchuan and his men quickly restored order. Mu Feng ran to Jiang Xue anxiously and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

Jiang Xue stood up from the ground and shook her head, "I'm fine. Take the child to Wanhetang and ask Doctor Liu if he has ever seen this kind of disease."

"it is good."

Mu Feng quickly picked up the unconscious child and ran towards Wanhetang.

Wenchuan said, "Sir, we just arrested a few people. They seem to know something about the disease and they kept saying it was a sorcery."

Pei Zhijin's brows were calm, and he said to Wenchuan: "Take him back for interrogation immediately."

"Yes."

The street that was bustling just now was now empty. The street was full of things that had been thrown down in the chaos, and the Jinyiwei were cleaning it up.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Then I'll ask you to find out the truth about this matter."

"Yes." Pei Zhijin nodded slightly, looked at Jiang Xue's wrist which was still bleeding, took out a jade whistle from his arms, and said, "I made a new jade whistle. You can come to me if you need anything."

Jiang Xue nodded and took the jade whistle. The emerald green jade whistle was crystal clear, exactly the same as before. Jiang Xue put the jade whistle in her arms, looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Then I'll go first."

"it is good."

Seeing Jiang Xue quickly walk into Wanhe Hall, Pei Zhijin's tender brows restrained, and then he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the direction of the imperial prison.

In Wanhe Hall.

Doctor Liu was treating the child, and Mu Feng asked anxiously, "How is it? Will it work?"

Jiang Xue said: "Mu Feng!"

Mu Feng then stopped talking and turned to walk towards Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Mu Feng, saying, "Send someone to find Huo Lian immediately."

Mu Feng opened the paper, and a bright red fire lotus lay quietly on the paper. Mu Feng frowned, "Fire lotus?"

"kindness."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Can you draw it without me?"

Mu Feng put the paper away, looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "What are you looking for it for?"

"Yiyi's cold poison needs this as a medicine."

Mu Feng nodded after hearing this and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will find it."

"As soon as possible, I will remove the silver needle for Yiyi in two days." Jiang Xue paused and continued, "This thing likes cold weather, look for it in the north."

"it is good."

Mu Feng didn't delay and walked out.

Jiang Xue walked to Doctor Liu and asked softly, "How is it? Have you ever seen such a disease?"

Doctor Liu sighed deeply and shook his head, "Never seen it before."

"Have you had any symptoms like this in the past few days?"

"No, the patients who came here were all suffering from abdominal pain, not the condition we have today."

Jiang Xue frowned and said to Doctor Liu, "I'm afraid abdominal pain is the first symptom. We must find out the symptoms and the cause."
