As the vermilion high-rise in front of me collapsed with a roar, the familiar feeling of weightlessness struck again.```
秦殊、范勇和韩月三个人只觉得天旋地转,身体不受控制的向后跌落,浑不知过了多久,他们才止住下降的趋势,身体也恢复了平衡。
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in East Third Alley of Willow Street. The thick fog around them had completely dissipated, leaving only the moon in the sky casting a gentle and beautiful light over the alley.
```html“Have we... succeeded?” Qin Shu flexed his fist, slightly swollen and sore from the beating he gave the "supervisor," and asked quietly.
Han Yue exclaimed, “It seems we have succeeded.”```
Before they could speak again, the young Lu'er at the door exclaimed excitedly, "Those jailers disappeared with the thick fog! Inspector Han, has the natural disaster ended? Were those jailers also created by the natural disaster?"
"That's right," Han Yue nodded, "the Qi supervisor we saw just now, as well as the other four colleagues, are all manifestations of natural disasters, not the real Qijian officials."
"I said that the Qijian supervisors have always been reasonable and courteous to the neighbors, and they are definitely not the kind of cold and unfeeling people," Xiaolu muttered quietly.
就在此时,小巷不远处突然传来一声虚弱的呼唤:
“小鹌鹑……娘的小……小鹌鹑……”
众人闻声皆是惊愕不已,旋即循声望去,只见小辘儿隔壁的院门口,遍体鳞伤的虞寡妇披头散发,扶着墙缓缓踱步而出。
Her face was covered in blood, with bruises around her neck, and her top was almost completely torn apart, with shredded strips of cloth unable to conceal her body. Her chest, ribs, and arms were all marked with bite wounds from the corpse, and the wounds were still bleeding profusely.
```htmlEven so, she did not fall down. With a determined gleam in her eyes, she repeatedly called out her daughter's childhood nickname.
"Little Quail... Mama's little quail!"```
这一刻,小辘儿怀中因发热受惊而神志不清小鹌鹑几乎是下意识的做出回应道:“阿娘!阿娘!”
“小鹌鹑!”
听到女儿的声音,虞寡妇踉踉跄跄的朝着这边跑来,可她刚离开院门,便“噗通”一声摔倒在了冰冷坚硬的青石板路上。
[{"text":"\u003cli\u003eHan Yue hurriedly stepped forward, gently helping up the heavily injured Widow Yu, and softly said, \"Sister Yu, don't worry, Little Quail is fine, and the natural disaster has been quelled.

虞寡妇闻言挤出一抹笑容,却仍是挣扎着走到小辘儿那边,从他怀中接过小鹌鹑紧紧的拥入怀中,而后才彻底放心。
Seeing that the widow Yu, who had such a tough fate, actually managed to snatch a life from the hands of that man, Xiaolu also wept with joy and sighed, "Great, widow Yu, you are really lucky!"
As the heavy fog dissipated, the remaining neighbors in the alley pushed open their doors and looked around.
After a while, there was a hurried sound of horse hooves coming from a distance outside Willow Street. Qin Shu and the others looked towards the alley entrance, only to see that it was the magistrate Qi coming.
Now that the natural disaster has subsided, this Qi inspector must be the real Qi inspector.
It's just that the fake Qi inspector during the natural disaster was so ruthless and harsh that the image became deeply ingrained in people's minds. As a result, when the real Qi inspector just arrived in the alley, the people of Dong San Alley hurriedly turned and hid back in their courtyards, tightly closing the gates.
```htmlConfused by what the Qíjiān officials were seeing, he galloped to the front of Hán Yuè and Qín Shū. Ten steps away from them, he pulled the reins, dismounted, and avoided his mount from colliding with others.```
Then he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Han Junior Sister, did you calm the natural disaster?"
Han Yue pointed to Qin Shu, Fan Yong, and others beside her, and replied, "We quelled it together."
Qi Jianli quickly turned to Qin Shu and two people, and arched their hands and said: "Thank you for the two strong men for their righteous actions. I have not yet asked for the honorable names of the two. Which school do you come from?"
Qin Shu smiled and said, "No problem. My name is Qin Shu, and his name is Fan Yong. We are both Confucian scholars and we study at the Qingyang Academy."
```html“Confu...Confucian?”
The Qi supervising officer's mouth twitched slightly as he sized up Qin Shu, his robust muscles coiled like a dragon. Just now, he was dressed in Confucian robes, still retaining some semblance of a Confucian scholar. But now, with his robes torn to shreds, baring his arms, there was hardly a trace left of the scholar from the Confucian school.```
Han Yue looked on and quickly said, "Senior Qi, they are indeed Confucian scholars, but they have chosen a different path from ordinary Confucian scholars, so they may look a bit different on the outside."
```htmlQi Jianli suddenly realized this, couldn't help but look at Qin Shu again, then quickly looked at the corpses and heads scattered all over the alley, and said with sorrow and anger: "This natural disaster is so tragic! In just a few hours, it has caused such a significant loss of life..."```
```htmlXiao Lu'er stepped forward and complained to Qi the Supervisor: "Supervisor Qi, during the heavy fog just now, a false version of you appeared miraculously, wielding the authority of the patrol supervisor to slaughter the neighbors."```
```html“What?” Qi, the chief official, was taken aback and asked in return, "Are you saying that this natural disaster has turned into my appearance?"
"Yes." Xiaolu nodded, then asked with a hint of resentment, "Qi, when the fog rose just now, why didn't you come to save us? If you had come earlier, you could have exposed the false chief official's identity earlier, and many neighbors wouldn't have had to die."```
Upon hearing this, Qi, the chief official, felt extremely guilty and lowered his head, saying, "It is indeed our fault for being delayed by matters and not rushing over here immediately..."
Another official quickly defended, "Although we were delayed for half an hour, we were still rushing to the natural disaster as soon as possible. The strange thing is that we encountered heavy fog in Dongyi Alley, and we wandered around in circles for dozens of times without finding a way out, still trapped in Dongyi Alley as if hitting a wall!"
This remark reminded Qin Shu of the strange occurrences during the natural disasters in Caojia Village. The original fifteen-mile journey seemed to be stretched to a hundred miles, indicating that the natural disasters had various tricks up their sleeves, using all sorts of methods to create obstacles.
齐监吏并未再多给自己辩解,目光瞥向衣不蔽体的虞寡妇,连忙解下长袍为她盖在身上,又吩咐同僚道:“快先将虞寡妇母女送至医馆,好生照料。”
“唯。”
一名监吏走过来搀扶起虞寡妇,带着她缓慢往柳街外医馆走去。
之后齐监吏环视周遭,望着随处可见的无头尸体,以及散落各处的凌乱首级,喟然长叹道:“余下的人,随我收殓这些邻居们。”
```htmlAlthough Qin Shu and Fan Yong were not officials in charge of patrol and inspection, they were unable to return to the academy when the city gates were closed at night. With nothing else to do, they followed the local patrol officers and helped deal with the remains in the various alleys of Liu Street.```
Sure, here's the translation while preserving the original HTML tags:```htmlUnder the bleak moonlight, under the bleak moonlight, the broken corpses were pieced together and laid out in the alley, covered with white cloth.
Finally counting the casualties, there were a total of ninety-seven people killed in the Willow Street.```
When Dai Hanyue handed the completed roster to Qi Jianli's hands, looking at the familiar names one by one, Qi Jianli finally couldn't control his emotions and tears fell.
```html“I should have protected them.”
“Their deaths are on me.”```
