A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 358 Nothing is a coincidence

The next morning, before dawn, Xiaolu and Lao Zhou put on full body protection and pushed a wooden cart to the town to deal with the remaining corpses. After Si Yao boiled the first pot of disinfected herbs, she first sprinkled them inside and outside the Taoist temple. She didn't scoop out the porridge that had been prepared in the pot to the patients until they woke up one by one.

Half an hour later, at the time of Si, Si Yao returned to the main hall again with the medicine soup. In a corner, a middle-aged woman drank the medicine Si Yao handed over and suddenly couldn't help crying and said:

"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. This plague destroyed our family... Now only the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren, have survived because of your presence."

There was a young child sitting next to the woman. Perhaps because he had not recovered from his illness, his expression and reactions were dull and slow. Even when Si Yao fed him medicine, he did not cry because it was bitter. He just frowned and looked at Si Yao blankly.

"Since you're alive, you must live well. The child is still young, so you must mourn for him and take care of yourself." Si Yao raised her hand and gently stroked the child's head, whispering to comfort the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman hugged her grandson beside her and cried inconsolably, but just kept nodding to Si Yao in response.

After hearing the crying of the middle-aged woman, other people in the main hall could not help but feel grief-stricken and wiped away their tears. Some even cried loudly because they could not bear the pain. After all, who among these patients who survived the disaster had not watched their loved ones die of the plague?

Having personally experienced the separation of life and death, Si Yao could understand their grief, so she waited until they had vented their grief before going forward to comfort them. At this time, she also accidentally discovered that there was no one on the two quilts next to the wall, so she hurriedly got up and looked around.

"Where are you going?" Si Yao saw two staggering figures on the left road leading to the side hall, and immediately asked.

"Miss Si Yao." Upon hearing the voice, the two of them slowly turned around and bowed slightly to Si Yao.

They were the Li family guards assigned by Li Yunye to Mu Liang. Although they were responsible for protecting Mu Liang, they did not expect that this time they encountered not bandits but an invisible plague that killed people. As a result, not only did they fail to protect Mu Liang, but they themselves, who were strong and healthy, were also tortured.

"You haven't recovered from your illness yet, so don't go out to avoid catching a cold and making your condition worse." Si Yao walked up and warned seriously.

"Don't worry, young lady. We are not going outside. We just want to come to this side hall to see Master Mu Liang." One of the guards still bowed respectfully to Si Yao and replied.

"Miss Si Yao, has Master Mu Liang been rescued? If anything happens to Master Mu Liang, even if we survive, how can we explain to him when we return to Qile City? What's more, Master Mu Liang is a famous Li from Jiangnan..."

"Cough cough!"

The other guard was probably anxious and talked too much, so he was stopped by the person next to him who cleared his cough before he could finish his words.

"Qile City, Jiangnan is named Li." Ke Hu's unfinished words were heard clearly by Si Yao. After muttering these two important pieces of information, she raised her eyes and asked happily, "You are from Qile City, Jiangnan is named Li?"

"Cough cough..."

When the two guards of the Li family were hesitating whether to tell the truth to Si Yao, they suddenly heard a cough from the side hall. The three people on the left road all went to the side hall at the same time, but Si Yao quickly stepped forward and stopped them: "The one in the side hall is seriously ill. To prevent infection again, you can't go over."

"Miss Si Yao, can we... just take a look from a distance?" A guard pleaded with Si Yao again. They would only feel at ease if they saw Master Mu Liang with their own eyes.

"Put on the cloth." The sincere looks in the two men's eyes made Si Yao unable to refuse, so she had to take out two cloth towels from her sleeves and handed them over.

The two of them hurriedly took the cloth and covered their mouths and noses like Si Yao did. The cloth was soaked in detoxifying and exorcising medicinal herbs, and there was still a faint medicinal fragrance on it. They felt refreshed the moment they smelled it.

"Master Muliang, are you awake?"

When the three of them arrived at the side hall, they saw that Mu Liang had opened his eyes. The two guards were overjoyed, even happier than when they woke up this morning.

Mu Liang had just woken up from a serious illness, so his body was naturally weaker than the people in the main hall. He felt relieved when he saw that the two guards who came out with him were safe and sound. His dry and pale lips slightly opened, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Si Yao who came forward and said:

"Now that you have seen it, please go back to the main hall."

The two guards of the Li family naturally could not go back on their word to Si Yao, their lifesaver, so they could only respectfully say to Mu Liang:

"Master Muliang, this is Miss Si Yao, the doctor who saved us."

"Miss Si Yao is a skilled doctor with a kind heart. Master Mu Liang, you can rest assured and recover from your illness."

Mu Liang forced a smile on his haggard face and nodded. After the two guards left the side hall, he looked at Si Yao gratefully and said, "Thank you, doctor, for saving my life."

"Healing and saving lives is our duty as doctors. Sir, there's no need to thank me." Si Yao said as she walked over to Mu Liang and took his pulse again. Although his pulse was weak, it was much more stable, not as rapid and slippery as yesterday. She felt relieved and continued to ask curiously, "Are you from the famous Li from Jiangnan, Qile City?"

"Yes, I am Mu Liang, the owner of Jiangnan Mingli." Mu Liang responded truthfully.

"Li Yunye is your boss?" Si Yao continued to ask.

"Miss, do you recognize our boss?" Mu Liang looked at the female doctor in front of him with bated breath. Although she was wearing a cloth, her clear eyes revealed sincerity. He nodded and asked.

"Yes, I recognize her. If there hadn't been a plague in Lianzhou, I would have probably gone to Qile City to look for her by now." Si Yao nodded without hesitation.

It was such a coincidence that she didn't expect that she would meet the famous Li from Jiangnan in the disaster-stricken area of ​​Lianzhou before arriving in Qile City.

Mu Liang was silent for a moment, searching his mind for the women he had come into contact with in the past. He did not remember this Miss Si Yao, but then he thought that he had been away from Qile City for five years after all, so he naturally did not know the girl his brother Yun Ye had made friends with during this period.

"Just lie down first. I'll make some medicine for you."

Just when Mu Liang was about to continue asking about the relationship between Si Yao and his sworn brother out of curiosity, the other party had already stood up and left the side hall, so he had to give up.
