Chapter 893 Dawn (8)

Steward Xin said in a panic, "Master Shizi, Xiao was a broker who found Chang Di, and he took Xiao to the biggest horse market in Chang Di..."

"Then you fell in love with that horse at a glance?" Xiao Yi said with a half-smile, "Do you think I'm a fool?!"

Steward Xin hurriedly kowtowed: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare..."

The sword resting on his neck approached a point, and immediately left a thin line of blood, Steward Xin was so frightened that his feces and urine flowed out, "Small, small..."

Xiao Yi's voice was cold, exuding a strong murderous aura, and he said word by word, "I'll give you one last chance."

"Shizi, please spare your life... Shizi, please spare your life!" Director Xin was terrified and cried, "When Xiao and Xiao went to Changdi, they lost all the money they brought in the casino... Later, they met in the casino. A friend of mine, who saw Xiao Xiao was pitiful, gave his own horse to Xiao Xiao, and asked Xiao Xiao to bring it back for business."

Since the outbreak of the horse plague at the racecourse, Director Xin felt that the horse he brought back might be the fault, but he dared to say that later, when people started to die, he even dared not to say it, seeing the people he knew One by one fell ill and died, and he was afraid that it would be his turn the next moment. He also thought about escaping, but his family was born to the Li family, and if he escaped, he would be a fugitive slave, and even his family would be sold. Later, he also fell ill, and then the racecourse was sealed by the emperor's decree...

Xiao Yi continued to ask, "Apart from the horse, what else did you bring back?"

Xin Guanshi timidly said: "There are only horses, because only one horse was brought back, and the younger one was taught a lesson by the big butler, and the monthly payment for three months was deducted."

Xiao Yi asked coldly: "What about forage and the like? In order to avoid being unaccustomed to the soil and water, when traveling long distances, I always bring some local forage and even horse medicine. Especially for such a godly horse, it is necessary to be careful. Take care, if you die accidentally, isn't it bad?!"

Steward Xin reacted and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! The little one brought back a whole two truckloads of hay. It's piled up in the stable over there."

"Bring some over and have a look." Xiao Yi motioned for the Imperial Forest Army to let go of the sword, and Steward Xin rushed back to the stable, holding out a handful of grass. For a long time, the grass has become hay.

Xiao Yi took it and gave it to Nangong Yue, she identified it carefully, and said, "This seems to be the sunflower, a wild weed that is found everywhere on the mountain."

Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "After that long-died horse came here, has he been using this grass?"

"In the beginning, and then I slowly mixed some other horses' fodder." Steward Xin replied cautiously, "Before the little one fell ill, the transition was almost over."

"Why did you get sick?"

"More than ten days ago." Director Xin said tremblingly, "I heard that all sick people will be locked in the back room and wait to die, so I ran to this empty stable and hid."

"So..." Xiao Yi asked with confirmation, "Have you been hiding in that stable these days?"

"Yes, it is."

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue exchanged glances, and their voices became more cautious, "What about food and drink?"

"The horses and the stables have some spring water for the horses. When Li was not sick, he would throw two steamed buns in every day. Later, Li also became ill, and no one took care of the children. When he was young, he was sick. I was so confused and so hungry that I ate hay."

Is it really hay? !

Xiao Yi still asked calmly: "When did you start eating hay? Besides hay, what else have you eaten and used?"

"Five or five days ago. I didn't eat anything else..." Steward Xin said with a weeping voice, "Everyone is either sick or dead, and no one prepares food for the little one."

Nangong Yue and Imperial Physician Wu looked at each other, and both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

"The county master, the old man will take a pulse for him."

Tai doctor Wu said, he stepped forward on his own, and checked his pulse. After a while, Tai doctor Wu turned back and nodded to Nangong Yue, and said, "Master, judging from the pulse, he is not infected except for some malnutrition and weakness. epidemic."

Nangong Yue was overjoyed. At this moment, she saw hope.

She tightly squeezed the hay in her hand. This seemingly inconspicuous weed may be the hope for everyone to live!

"Doctor Wu, I'd like to ask you to bring these sunflowers back to the Hunting Palace, so that other imperial physicians can also take a look. I don't remember that there is no mention of using it as medicine in the medical books, so be careful anyway. Also..." Nangong Yue He said to the Royal Forest Army who came with them, "Bring this person back to the Hunting Palace and take care of him."

Nangong Yue clenched her fists tightly, and there was a trembling in her voice, which was caused by excitement, "Ayi, you accompany me to Shenlong Mountain. Let's go find some fresh sunflowers and come back."
