In the exam hall, Su Xiaolu also smelled the same scent, which made her feel even more uneasy.

The current examinees would only feel that the exam was more serious. Nothing was more important than the exam.

After Hong Zheng and Qi Ming left, the candidates dispersed. Su Xiaolu also left the exam hall. She did not go back but followed Hong Zheng.

She remembered Hong Zheng. A few days ago, when she bought the Snow Herb, she had met Hong Zheng coming back from a house call. That was the first time she had smelled that strange smell.

Hong Zheng brought a few medicine boys out of the exam hall and returned to the Ji s.h.i.+ Hall.

The Ji s.h.i.+ Hall was now closed.

Su Xiaolu realized that there were several times more soldiers than before.

Su Xiaolu avoided the soldiers and sneaked into the Ji s.h.i.+ Hall. The Ji s.h.i.+ Hall was brightly lit.

The medicine boys and doctors were busy.

Pus.h.i.+ng the wooden bucket to distribute the medicine, Su Xiaolu saw a manservant covering himself tightly in a room. He carried out seven or eight corpses in a row and quietly sent them away from the back door.

Su Xiaolu frowned. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she entered the room where the patients were placed. There were more than twenty patients in the entire room, and they were all crying softly.

Su Xiaolu looked at them.

She saw that there were many herpes on their faces, and some of them were already infected. Su Xiaolu quietly left and left Ji s.h.i.+ Hall. She happened to see an ox cart transporting corpses leave and followed.

The ox cart left the city.

When they left the city, the two manservants chatted with the soldiers guarding the city gate. Su Xiaolu heard them clearly.

The manservant said, “Eight of them died in such a short time. Who knows how many more will die by dawn.”

The soldier sighed. “This plague is too terrifying. Dozens of people die every day, and we still can’t find the cause. I wonder how many more people will die. This is too terrifying.”

The manservant sighed. “Isn’t that so? We have to be cautious everyday.”

The two manservants didn’t say anything else.

Su Xiaolu frowned. This plague was worse than she had imagined.

Thinking of her brothers who were still in the exam hall, Su Xiaolu returned to the house first.

It was already midnight, but w.a.n.g Huilan was still awake.

Su Xiaolu was explaining to the coachman when w.a.n.g Huilan opened the door and came out. She looked worried. “Xiaolu, what happened? Why aren’t you asleep?”

The coachman’s expression was also extremely serious.

Su Xiaolu said to w.a.n.g Huilan, “Sister-in-law Huilan, I’ll bring them back. You don’t have to go. The plague is very serious. We might not be able to go back for the time being. Stay here for the time being. Be careful. We’ll talk after I bring them back.”

Under such circ.u.mstances, it was probably impossible to leave the city, but she still had to give it a try.

w.a.n.g Huilan’s expression was serious as she nodded. “Alright, I’ll take care of the house. Xiaolu, be careful too.”

w.a.n.g Huilan did not ask further. She knew that Su Xiaolu would not deliberately exaggerate to scare her.

Su Xiaolu must have gone to investigate something.

For her to be so serious, she must have found out something.

w.a.n.g Huilan couldn’t hide her worry. She couldn’t sleep, and her heart had always been uneasy. Now, she couldn’t sleep either.

Su Xiaolu looked at w.a.n.g Huilan and said, “Alright, I’ll wait in the exam hall.”

Su Xiaolu left.

w.a.n.g Huilan sighed. She was no longer sleepy. The coachman also looked worried. “Miss, what should we do?”

w.a.n.g Huilan frowned and said, “Don’t go out either. Let’s just close the door and live in peace. Everything will be fine.”

The coachman nodded.

w.a.n.g Huilan returned to her room and sat on the bed. She didn’t feel sleepy at all. She pressed her palms together and silently prayed, “Great Buddha, please bless my hubby and his close friends to be safe.”

Su Xiaolu returned to the exam hall and waited. She watched as the sky lit up.

In the exam hall, the last exam started.

Many examinees’ faces were pale, and the hand holding the pen was trembling. Their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

But none of them gave up.

Su Hua also felt that something was wrong with her body. After so many years, as long as he had a little cold, he would be fine after taking some medicine made by Su Xiaolu. In this exam, the medicine Su Xiaolu had prepared must be extremely good. It was definitely not ineffective after taking it.

Moreover, he had eaten two portions last night, but now, his body felt heavy. His throat hurt even more, and his body felt very cold.

He wanted to cough, but he tried his best to hold it in every time.

He looked at the paper on the table and endured the discomfort in his body to gather his energy to answer.

Qi Ming supervised the exam and walked around the exam hall with a few examiners. His brows were tightly furrowed.

Many of the infected candidates did not have the energy to take the exam. They could not even hold their pens properly and their writing was a mess.

In less than half an hour, some examinees collapsed on the table.

Immediately, soldiers came to carry them down.

Many advanced students fell one after another.

It made everyone nervous.

Su Hua straightened his back. His hands were trembling. After a long period of concentration, his head was covered in sweat. Only when the exam ended and he wrote down his name, did Su Hua heave a long sigh of relief.

In the end, he persevered.

He swallowed his stinging throat and took a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his head.

When the papers were collected, the invigilator, Qi Ming, also said that the examination was officially over. The candidates could leave on their own.

Some who were sick had to go for treatment.

Those who were not sick had to stay for the time being. Those who had relatives or friends could stay with relatives or friends. Those who did not have relatives or friends could also stay in an inn arranged by the government.

Su Hua took a few breaths and saw Su Chong and the others walking towards him. He reached out to stop them and said, “Brother, don’t come over. I can’t go back with you.”

He could not lie to himself that this was just a cold.

It was impossible for him to be with Su Chong and the others, so Su Hua staggered up to avoid them.

Su Chong looked anxious. “Hua, what nonsense are you talking about? You’re just suffering from an ordinary cold. Just go back and let Xiaolu take a look at you.”

Zhou Heng and Liu Zijin frowned.

Su Hua smiled and said, “Brother, you guys can go back first. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the quarantine center with them. I’ll be back after I’m cured. Don’t worry about me.”

After Su Hua finished speaking, he walked towards the doctor before Su Chong could say anything else.

Su Chong frowned and could only watch as Su Hua parted ways with them.

Zhou Heng and Liu Zijin were worried that Su Chong would be impulsive. Su Chong only clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “I’m fine. I know what I have to do. Brother Hua will be fine. Let’s go out first.”

Many candidates had already left.

Some people with illnesses were brought away by the soldiers to be quarantined.

Su Chong, Zhou Heng, and Liu Zijin left the exam hall and saw Su Xiaolu waiting outside.

When Su Xiaolu saw them, she quickly glanced around and realized that Su Hua was not around. She was only stunned for a second. She walked forward and smiled at Su Chong. “Big Brother, you’ve worked hard. Let’s go home first. After I settle you guys down, I’ll go see Second Brother.”
