Seeing the embarrassment on Quan's face, Wen Yuan reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, Master, don't be embarrassed, I'm worried too."
The three of them were guarding the coffin shop. People came to ask Fat Aunt for help every day. It was obvious that she was very popular here.
The fat aunt came back that day and was in a low mood. She was very different from usual, "Sigh... I used to open a coffin shop and just hoped for business, but now... I don't want them to come to me."
Every time someone comes to her for help, it means the death of one or even a group of people.
Wen Yuan did not stay idle in Xianglan. During this period, she often followed her fat aunt out to attend funerals.
Every time she saw these children who had lost their loved ones, she felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart and she was in pain, but she was powerless.
No amount of gold, silver and silk can heal the pain of losing their loved ones, and such pain often stays with people throughout their lives.
"Ahem..." Wen Yuan coughed during the meal, and the fat aunt immediately became alert, "Ayuan, what's wrong with you? Is it..."
Wen Yuan immediately denied it, "No, no, it's probably because he's not accustomed to the environment and is sick." He took the elixir given by his master, how could he get infected.
Quan touched Wen Yuan's forehead and said, "High fever, go and lie down quickly. Chun Hua, go get a basin of cold water."
The initial guess is that Wen Yuan has been overworked recently and has been in contact with people who are infected. "It's okay. You can rest in peace and recuperate. Take the medicine and you will be fine soon."
"I've been getting weaker and weaker recently." Wen Yuan lay on the bed and kept coughing, "Master, I want to drink water."
After drinking water and taking the medicine, Wen Yuan fell asleep. Quan sat beside her bed and sighed, "What a silly kid, you have exhausted yourself like this. What will Shen Huaiyan do when he comes back and sees that you don't care about your body so much?"
A crack suddenly appeared in the room, and a head poked out, "Deputy Commander, is this the Young Master?"
"No. This is just...the woman I care about, my apprentice, what's wrong?"
"There seems to be some movement in the God Realm recently. Many gods have been sent down. Deputy Commander, please be careful."
"I know, let's go."
On one side is the young master, on the other side is Wen Yuan, on the other side is the God Realm, on the other side is the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss, it is almost confusing Quan, and sometimes he just feels that he is not able to do anything at all.
But the affairs of the God Realm cannot be ignored. They sent so many gods this time just to deal with Wan Mo Yuan. "They are really stalking."
Quan hopes that Wen Yuan can grow up quickly and become his right-hand man.
A few days later, Shen Huaiyan rushed back from the capital, and the imperial physician from the palace came with him. He quickly brought back the most powerful imperial physician Xu. With such an imperial physician in charge, Xianglan's situation must be better.
"Why have you lost so much weight after I've only been away for a while?" Looking at Wen Yuan's thin face, Shen Huaiyan was curious about what she had experienced during this period of time.
Although Chunhua also hated what Shen Huaiyan did to Wen Yuan, she still couldn't help but complain, "It's all because of exhaustion. Miss has been helping the fat aunt all the time."
Shen Huaiyan wanted to scold Wen Yuan, but what qualifications did he have now, "Miss, you should take good care of your body, otherwise we will worry."
"Yes, I know, where is the master?" Wen Yuan looked for the master as soon as he got up, which made Shen Huaiyan very happy.
He felt uncomfortable and avoided his eyes, "Reading in the yard."
"Okay, Chunhua, please dress me up first. I want to talk to Master about something."
After washing and dressing up, Wen Yuan asked Chun Hua and Shen Huaiyan to leave. When Quan entered the room, Wen Yuan took off his shirt behind the man's back, revealing a large area of his naked back.
Quan didn't understand what Wen Yuan meant, so he quickly turned around and said, "What a shame! Put it on quickly!"
"No, Master...look at my birthmark..."
I still remember that not long ago, this weird birthmark on her body sprouted, but now, all the sprouts have fallen out, and it has returned to the original appearance of the withered vine.
After hearing what she said, Quan dared to close his eyes and turn around. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found that the birthmark on Wen Yuan's body was really different.
His hand unconsciously reached for the withered vine birthmark. Just when he was about to touch it, Quan immediately controlled his hand and retracted it. Quan frowned and didn't know what to do in this situation. "What's wrong with you?" Of?"
"No, it just withered after I recovered from the illness..."
Is it possible that this birthmark is related to Wen Yuan's physical condition?
Quan has never encountered such a thing in his long life. Now he has no choice but to comfort her, "Since there is nothing uncomfortable, let's just wait and see. If there is anything wrong, tell me immediately, okay?"
When he said these words, Quan kept his back and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't dare to go any further.
"I understand, Master..." Wen Yuan slowly put on his clothes, "Master, my spiritual roots still haven't grown?"
Wen Yuan has been helping the fat aunt these days, but he only regrets that he can't practice, and can't be broken in half by himself. "If I could practice, I'm afraid many things would be different now."
"Are you dressed? Can I turn around?"
"Get dressed."
Quan sighed silently. Her actions just now scared her so much, "You can't rush this kind of thing. You have to know that compared with those who can practice, you have a long gap period..."
"I understand all these principles, I just don't want to be a useless person."
"How can you be a useless person? You are kind, and almost all the people in the capital who are not living a happy life have received your favor; you are smart, and you obviously have no spiritual roots, but you can understand those simple spells. Don't belittle yourself, if you are not good, I will not take you as my disciple."
Quan's words gave Wen Yuan some comfort, and she managed to laugh, "Yes, the master is so powerful, but I am the master's only disciple. It must be because I am extraordinary."
"Yes, that's the right way to think about it. I believe Master will definitely train you to be the best practitioner in the world. Take your time, let's not be in a hurry." Quan gently stroked Wen Yuan's head. At this time, his eyes were like A kind father, with his beloved daughter in front of him.
After Quan left, Wen Yuan sat drinking tea. She didn't know that subtle but wonderful changes were taking place in her back.

"Mr. Xu, is there any way to treat this epidemic?"
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead, "If it had just been discovered, I would have had a solution, but now it has been delayed for too long. I can only wait for other imperial physicians to arrive to discuss a solution."
Sure enough... a minor illness can turn into a serious one, let alone such a menacing plague.
Wen Yuan had a headache and didn't know when the group of people sent by the palace would arrive. He just hoped that they could help the people in the city after they arrived.
Stargazing at night, Quan discovered that Eryang Mountain three days later was the time of year when spiritual energy was most abundant, which was conducive to Wen Yuan's cultivation.
He had to ask Wen Yuan for permission, "Er Yangshan will be full of spiritual energy in three days. Do you think we should..."
"I won't go." Wen Yuan cares about the people of Xianglan, so he can't think about cultivation. "Xianglan is in a critical situation now. How can I abandon it? Since it is once a year, what about next year, the year after, and the year after that?" If I can’t do it this year, I won’t go.”
Knowing that she would not go, Quan smiled happily and said, "Let me tell you, how can such a kind-hearted child like you be a useless person."
The two were chatting and laughing but Shen Huaiyan watched them all. Now he felt that he was not even qualified to be jealous, but he still couldn't help being jealous of Quan, wanting to replace him, and wanting to go back to the past with Wen Yuan.
"I want to see the princess! I want to see the princess! Please...let me go to see the princess!"
As they were talking, a woman's shout came from outside, "Chunhua, go see what's going on."
"yes."
After a while, Chunhua brought a woman holding a baby.
"What's wrong? But the food distributed is not enough?" There have been frequent troubles lately, mostly due to the uneven distribution of supplies.
The woman cried and shook her head, "No...yes...yes..."
"What's going on?" Hearing her speak like she was about to die, Wen Yuan felt as if there were ants crawling on him, and his tone became a little tougher.
"Someone... raped me..." The woman held the child, and the despair on her face was not fake.
The reason why she is not seeking life and death now is because she is worried about the child in her arms.
Is there such a thing? Wen Yuan was shocked and asked someone to go down to investigate, "Please calm down first and let's listen."
"It's the widower Yang who lives next door to me. He has had thoughts about me a few years ago. But because my husband is a butcher, he doesn't dare to mess around, so he never takes any action. Unfortunately, my husband died of the epidemic, leaving only Leave me and my baby alone, just yesterday...yesterday, when he took advantage of me to go back to look for the little money I had left at home, he took me..."
The woman started crying again while talking. Wen Yuan felt that this matter was really strange and asked Shen Huaiyan to bring back the Yang widower in her mouth.
The man denied the woman's words, "How could I possibly bully her... This is simply nonsense. Anyone who knows me in the city doesn't know my honest duty."
When the words "honesty and duty" came out of the man's mouth, Wen Yuan didn't believe it so much, "She said you took her forcibly today while the officers and soldiers in the city were searching for people who died from the epidemic. Is there such a thing?" ?”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. I have been staying at home today. How could such a thing happen?"
Wen Yuan deliberately said it wrong. After hearing the man's answer, she changed the subject again, "Oh no, it was last night. Did she mean yesterday or today? I forgot."
How could Chunhua not know what Wen Yuan was thinking, "Today is the day to report back to the princess."
"Oh, yes, yes, then you can tell me what you have done in the past few days, and I will comment on it."
Although Yang widower didn't understand what Wen Yuan meant, he still honestly explained all his actions in the past few days.
"I really can't hear anything wrong. Let's go back first. I'll call you back when we get the results, okay?"
