Chapter 690: The Onslaught of the Epidemic!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Winter came early for the Great Qi this year.
Gu Nuo’er had taken out her fox fur scarf early and put it on.
This scarf was really quite warm.
As expected of the fur of a three-tailed demon fox.
The white fox fur made Gu Nuo’er’s bright face look even more exquisite. Her thin eyebrows were curved and her hair was hanging obediently on her forehead. Her black and round eyes were always watery, as if they could speak. At this moment, Gu Nuo’er was resting her cheeks on her hands and she was eating a candy.
Jiang Xiaoran stood on the left while Xie Yinxiang sat in front of her.
Ye Siming lay on the table behind her and slept.
There was still some time before class started, but the teacher hadn’t arrived yet.
Jiang Xiaoran was talking about a small village near the capital’s suburbs that had recently contracted the epidemic.
“I heard from my grandfather that the situation this time is very serious. First, a village showed symptoms. Then, something happened to the two neighboring villages. Until now, we haven’t found the source of the epidemic.” Xie Yinxiang couldn’t help but feel worried.
“A servant from our manor came from that village. He went back to visit a few days ago and hadn’t come back since. He seemed to have died from illness.”
Jiang Xiaoran nodded. “That’s right! It looked like an ordinary cold, but if one really gets sick, they’ll die!”
As he spoke, he said softly, “The classmate who was sitting in the corner of our class accidentally got infected. I heard that he is on the verge of death these few days.”
Xie Yinxiang was shocked. “His father is an administrator from the Imperial Academy of Medicine, but he’s actually helpless too?”
It seemed that the epidemic was indeed coming menacingly!
The candy in Gu Nuo’er’s mouth had almost melted.
Her small eyebrows furrowed.
An epidemic?
Why didn’t she feel anything?
Usually, when such matters involved the life and death of most people, she would have a premonition.
Moreover, natural disasters like avalanches, flash floods, and epidemics were usually set by the heavens.
It would erupt at a specific moment.
As a small koi fish, it was impossible for Gu Nuo’er not to notice.
Why was there suddenly such a serious illness?
The child was puzzled.
Jiang Xiaoran wanted to say something more, but the teacher came.
Today was an etiquette class.
The teacher who taught this subject was surnamed Tao.
He was tall and strong, and he spoke with a strong tone.
However, at this moment, Gu Nuo’er saw that he looked very weak.
Not only were there dark circles under his eyes, but he also seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His cheeks were slightly sunken.
Master Tao wasn’t in a good state, and his voice wasn’t as loud as before. “Everyone, take out the ceremonial book you copied last time. I’ll take a look at them one by one…”
Ye Siming had woken up at some point.
At this moment, he looked up at Master Tao with a frown.
He patted Gu Nuo’er’s shoulder. “Sit beside me.” However, the child didn’t move at all.
Her big eyes stared straight at Master Tao.
Her pink face was filled with seriousness.
This was because Gu Nuo’er saw that this Teacher Tao had a strong sickly aura that she hated.
It seemed to be the same type as the one she saw on Madam Bai’s roof that day in the Bai Manor.
However, Madam Bail s symptoms were clearly much lighter than Teacher Tao’s.
His entire body was now filled with black fog.
He looked like he didn’t have long to live.
Gu Nuo’er knew.
He had been affected by the epidemic!
At this moment, Teacher Tao had already walked near her.
Ye Siming frowned and was about to pick the child up.
However, at this moment, Master Tao was in low energy and suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.
The students were shocked and surrounded him.. “Teacher Tao!”
