The next morning.
Xia'er came to Yue Lao with a red face, and said kindly: "Yue Lao, I know that you are here to find me, and I don't want to embarrass you. I just ask that you let Zhang Xiu and I live a peaceful life, and wait for him to live a long life." When you are exhausted, I will go back to heaven with you, do you think so?"
Seeing that Yue Lao remained silent, Xia'er urged, "If you agree, just give me a shout."
Zhang Xiu said with some confusion: "Xia'er, do you think it's possible that Yue Lao has already agreed, but his mouth was sealed by your mandarin duck handkerchief and he couldn't speak?"
Xia'er suddenly realized it. With a little finger, Hong Silk let go of Yue Lao's mouth.
The sealed mouth was released, Yue Lao looked depressed, and took a long breath. Then, Zhang Xiu said with a kind face: "Yue Lao, if you agree to Xia'er's proposal, just nod."
Yue Lao looked at Zhang Xiu faintly and said, "You have to remove the knife from my neck first, then I can nod."
Zhang Xiu took back the butcher's knife that was placed on Yue Lao's neck and said with a look of shame: "Seeing you tied up, I remembered how my family killed pigs when I was a child, so I couldn't help but put the knife on your neck. Please forgive me."
At this time, Xia'er had already told Zhang Xiu that she was the Seventh Princess of Heaven.
Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he finally know how his three thousand years of experience in flying in the clouds and riding in the fog came from.
He was really shocked that this matter of a three-thousand-year-old woman ranking among the Immortal Classes would happen to him one day. After another day, my turbulent heart finally calmed down.
Ever since, there was a scene in front of them where the husband sang and the wife followed, and the two of them worked together to patiently persuade Yue Lao.
Yue Lao glanced at Zhang Xiu and Xia'er, sighed helplessly, and said, "Seventh Princess, I can pretend that I didn't find you this time, but if you want to keep your word, you can't lie to me."
Xia'er showed a smile and moved her right hand. The Huntian Yuanyang Pa took it back and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise."
Yue Lao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, stretched his muscles, and said with a smile: "You two are the red thread that I hold. In this life, you should only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals. You guys have fun, I'm going to go!" As he spoke, his figure changed. Turned around and disappeared into the hall.
After Yue Lao left, Xia'er had a sad look on her face and asked Zhang Xiudao with some worry: "Ms. sir, why do you want me to tell Yue Lao like this? Yesterday you reversed the technique and transferred your essence to me. Now you don’t have much longevity left, right?”
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, held her weak and boneless hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, your husband and I... will live together with heaven!"
Xia'er looked at the place where Yue Lao disappeared with a shameful face: "Yue Lao, I really didn't lie to you on purpose. I didn't know it beforehand!"
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, and he couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Xiu looked at the blue sky outside the door and said: "It's not an option for us to hide all the time. Let's find a suitable time to go to heaven to visit our father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"By the way, Xia'er, does my father-in-law smoke and drink? I'm going to prepare some gifts in advance and give them a big surprise then!"
Xia'er said with a confused look on her face: "You can take care of it then, as long as... you don't scare them."
Zhang Xiu was amused and laughed: "Haha, Xia'er, you actually learned to joke!"
Xia'er: "..."
My husband, look into my eyes, I am very serious!
After breakfast and changing back into regular clothes, the two of them went down the mountain and arrived at Luzhou City to continue their unfinished food tour yesterday.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu stopped in the market and looked at a meat stall on the side of the road with a slight frown.
After a few steps to the stall, Zhang Xiu asked the hawker: "Brother, are you selling beef?"
The hawker nodded and said: "The old cow raised by my husband died in the cowshed last night. He invited the butcher to slaughter it overnight. Brother, how many pounds can you give me?"
Zhang Xiu picked up a piece of meat, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "The meat is yellow in color, and the blood is mixed with thick water. This is Niu Huang."
The vendor's expression changed, and he took two steps back, his hands trembling with fear: "Brother, don't scare me!"
Zhang Xiudao: "Why did I scare you? My parents died because of Niu Huang. I will never admit my mistake! Go back home quickly and don't run around. I will go to the government to report the case and ask them to find Dr. Liu to diagnose you." .”
At this time, the vendor was so frightened that he gave up his stall and ran home in a hurry.
Xia'er looked at Zhang Xiu and asked curiously: "What kind of plague are you talking about Niuhuang?"
Zhang Xiudao: "A weird plague can kill cattle. If people eat beef, they will also get this disease. There is no cure. There was a Niu Huang in Luzhou thirteen years ago, but it has not been found yet. The root of the plague.”
"That plague killed many people, and then it suddenly disappeared. Unexpectedly, it reappeared after many years."
Xia'er thought for a while and said: "All plagues in the world are controlled by the God of Plague. If we can find the God of Plague, we may be able to resolve this crisis."
Zhang Xiu sighed and said: "Who knows where the god of plague is now? Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near. Let the government investigate first to see how far the plague has developed."
After going to the government to report the case, Zhang Xiu went to the mountain to pick up Dr. Liu and went to the Chen Mansion where he was selling beef.
The owner of the Chen family is named Chen Huafeng. He raises forty or fifty cows at home and is a well-known big landowner in Luzhou City.
Doctor Liu helped the Chen family diagnose one by one. Fortunately, no one in the dozen or so family members was infected with Niuhuang.
Chen Huafeng wiped the sweat off his head with relief and invited Zhang Xiu and the others to stay for dinner. He did not dare to eat beef at the banquet.
During the dinner, Zhang Xiu observed that Chen Huafeng's expression was a little stiff and he looked guilty, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Chen, has anything happened to your family recently? Otherwise, why would other people's cows be fine, but you are the only one?" Does our cow have Niuhuang?"
Chen Huafeng's expression changed, and he said with a stern expression: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, no one would want to encounter such a thing!"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said with a helpless expression: "In that case, you can go to the court tomorrow and talk to the county magistrate. If you don't conceal it, you will be beheaded according to the new laws of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Click——"
Chen Huafeng was so shocked that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand and said in horror: "How can the laws of the new dynasty be so harsh?!"
Zhang Xiu looked at his reaction with a kind smile on his face: "I was joking with you."
Chen Huafeng relaxed instantly, patted his thumping chest, and said angrily: "How can such a joke be made casually..."
Zhang Xiu hummed, then took out a copy of "Dazhou Rules" and started reading it. He took out his writing brush and said seriously: "But I can add this one!"
Chen Huafeng: "..."
Can laws be added to the list at will? I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me!
Doctor Liu looked at the dumbfounded Chen Huafeng and whispered in his ear: "He is not joking with you this time. The current emperor has been his student."
Chen Huafeng fell to his knees and trembled: "Sir, I will say anything!"
