Sangsang's Illness

A black carriage rushed in the eastern city and ran to the Vermilion Bird City Gate. Someone in the carriage made the gate open by showing the guards two ID tokens, and then the carriage continued to run along the straight state highway to the Academy in the south.

In the carriage, Ning Que hugged Sangsang tightly, his right hand fumbling on the wall of the carriage. He couldn't stop panting. It was not because he was weary or tried. He was always very healthy and after he learned the Great Spirit, his breath became even longer and more peaceful. It was because he was terrified. He could feel that Sangsang's body was becoming colder and colder, even though she was wrapped in a thick quilt.

Finally, he found the little flagon he had put in the carriage and without any hesitation, he opened the lid and passed the flagon to Sangsang's mouth. A strong aroma of alcohol permeated the air.
