Chapter 55

"What?"

Wu Youren was framed in the cell and stared, shaking his fists at the official outside.

"Did you touch those two children? If you are human or not, then you! The children will not be spared!"

Ji Langzhong's eyes were already crying white, his eyeballs were red and swollen like two walnuts.

While pulling the impulsive Wu Youren, he cried, "Master, this patient has been sent out of the city, when will we be let out?"

Because of Wu Youren's resistance and abuse, the official was still angry, and his words were careless, with threats in every sentence.

"If you want to go out, it must be our master who speaks. You'd better control your mouths, otherwise, you will be served by soldering irons and seals!"

You hear me, you have to serve with a soldering iron.

Ji Langzhong wiped away his tears, stood up with the last bit of strength and covered the mouth of someone in the room.

Stop talking about Youren, what can they do if they are wronged, everyone has their own destiny.

The two of us are being locked up here and we don't know how long it will last until the Year of the Monkey.

Wu Youren patted his forehead, regret spreading in his chest.

Those patients should not be rashly given medicines.

Their eyes were all red.

Is that a disease that can be cured by remission alone?

That's good, as soon as they saw the medicine was good, those people rushed over to snatch it like a pack of hungry wolves.

Counting the medicine bottles in his pocket, there are more than 20 bottles, and now he has kept a dozen bottles.

"Old Ji, are you okay? How do you feel?"

Ji Langzhong shook his head, and the two of them leaned on the straw mat and took off the square scarf to catch their breath.

"Do you believe me when I say I'm fine? I don't even believe it myself.

One day is one day. Didn’t the county master tell us to give birth to his concubine?

Anyway, as long as we don't silence the two of us, we can do anything. "

Anti-birth?It was obvious that they wanted to keep their mouths shut.

When those patients were sent out of the city, they were all thrown into the carriage in bundles of five. Such people were sent out of the city with their illnesses, how could they return to Anjia Village safely.

The more Wu Youren thought about it, the more painful his head became.

I hope he can live up to Lao Zhu this time, and the three of them can go home safely.

……

When Zhou Huan woke up, he had already turned into a curve on the mule cart, and almost vomited out.

"Huan'er woke up? Is your head still hurting?"

Zhou Huan touched the top of his head and asked, "Are you out of town?"

"Well, we're out of town, and we'll be home tonight."

"Xiaoman carried me up here?"

Sun Peifang nodded.

Zhou Huan suddenly remembered something and opened the curtain to look at Zhou Man who was silent outside, rubbed his hands and said, "Sister, come and drive, you come back and lie down."

Seeing that Zhou Huan woke up, Zhou Man was comforted a lot, but the rein in his hand was not loose, and he still said firmly: "Sis just woke up, go back quickly, don't catch a cold, as long as I'm outside."

"Yeah, Huan'er, come back quickly, the wound is swollen and infected again."

Speaking of the infection, Zhou Huan thought about the things in the city as if she had lingering fears.

"This county lord drove back people from our villages to celebrate the New Year, so Master Wu was also driven back?"

This is not known.

Apparently not.

"So from now on, the city may be safer than the outside."

After hearing this, Sun Peifang frowned, "How do you say that?"

Before today, Zhou Huan wasn't sure about the county government's attitude, but after this incident, she felt that it was necessary to communicate with Sun Peifang, so that the whole family would be numb if the problem came.

She is not an aboriginal, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

She needs to know whether the aborigines have a solution to these plagues.

After Zhou Huan had finished speaking, Sun Peifang suddenly felt helpless like never before.

"Then, will those patients enter our village?"

"Will those people die with us?"

"Let's go back from the city. Are we not sick?"

Sun Peifang had already thought up the answer while asking.

If there is even a trace of illness, she may not be willing to return to the village. She cannot infect Xibao and Yuanbao.

She still has to be strong and lead Zhou Huan and Zhou Man to live outside.

At the same time, Zhou Huan also thought about the answer in his heart.

They have never had direct contact with those patients, and it is certain that they are absolutely not infected.

But those patients, just as Sun Peifang asked, are uncertain factors.

Whether he will enter the village or find a substitute is uncertain.

If it is really an inevitable plague, then they must think of countermeasures, at least to ensure the safety of the family.

But it's hard to guard against.

When night fell, the group of three finally returned to Songshu Village nervously.

The psychological defense line completely collapsed.

The reason is that the first thing Sun Peifang saw was an unclaimed arm at the head of the village.

Bloody and fleshy.

He gasped in fright.

"Ah——" all the sparrows in the forest flew away, and Sun Peifang ran to the village, shouting like a demon.

"Xibao! Yuanbao! The baby's father! Where are you all!"

At this moment, Zhou Huan couldn't bear the fear in his heart any longer and sat back down.

"sister!"

Zhou Huan pursed her lips and shook her head, telling Zhou Man over and over again that she was fine, but she couldn't help it, tears streaming down her face.

She couldn't hear other voices in her ears, so she could only keep saying to herself in her heart:

Zhou Huan, you are no longer a person living in a harmonious society. There may be many more days like this in the future. You have to hold on and live well.

You can't worry about the people who love you here, you have to hold on.

"I, I'm fine. Let's, let's go find my aunt. Something happened in the village. Let's not, don't let her alone."

"Ok!"

Zhou Huan looked like Zhou Man, and he had never felt that his brother's eyes were so determined.

It is said that a man who has not gone through the storm will always be a boy.

But, but this storm is too big.

Who killed the people in their village?
Are those refugees from Anjia Village?

Or did the bandits on the mountain come down to take advantage of the fire?

Looking at the gate of this road, every family closed their doors, the courtyard was in a mess, and there was no one on the street in the village.

The siblings just leaned on each other and chased to Zhu's courtyard.

"aunt!"

The two shouted in unison to help Sun Peifang who was slumped on the ground.

Not a single person could be seen in the dilapidated courtyard.

Instead, dustpans, bamboo baskets and broken earthen jars were scattered all over the ground.

"My God, why did you treat our Zhu family like this, what did we do wrong, give me back my man and my child - give me back -

We seem to live our lives in peace and stability, how can it be so difficult. "

Sun Peifang lay on the ground beating her chest and stomping her feet, her hoarse voice choked in her throat, her face was full of tears, like a suffocated fish that had been patted on the bank.

Zhou Huan couldn't help but shed tears again after gasping for breath.

Is there no Xibao to tuck her in?

Didn't Yuan Bao follow behind to feed her pancakes?

In the past, when she read history, she only paid attention to how many heroes were rolling in the Yangtze River and rushing to the east.

At this moment, when she saw her eyes, she clearly realized how many joys and sorrows the ordinary people living at the bottom had to go through before they could see that the green hills were still there and the sunset was red several times.

Zhou Huan, a happy little citizen from modern times, can hardly imagine what happened here.

I dare not even think about whether they will follow the same old path as these people in the future.
