Don't panic when fleeing famine, she has become the godmother of all the bosses

Chapter 8 The Plague
The king of Han was originally a bandit, but now there is a lot of chaos and natural disasters, the army's supplies are very limited, and most of the army is looting on the spot.

So people's life is getting harder and harder.

After Shu Yan finished listening, she sighed slightly.

"It's so hard to live."

This was the first time Shu Yan said such dejected words.

But it's not like nothing good happened.

The sky cleared at noon, and the sun hung in the sky, driving away the fog from the entire floodplain.

Shu Yan and the others just saw the distance.

They had already arrived at a place with a slightly higher terrain. Now the ground buildings have basically been washed away by the flood, and there are ruins everywhere, but they can't tell where it is from Yingzhou.

Only the rice paddies that have been washed away in the fields can be seen.

Cheng San said in a deep voice: "Xiachuan in Yingzhou is known as a land of fish and rice. It's the time for spring planting. In autumn and winter this year, I don't know how many people will starve to death."

Yu'an looked down into the distance, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said, "Grandma, are we going to starve to death?"

Shu Yan felt a little helpless, but she didn't know how to answer Yu'an.

The little fish at the side picked up a wooden toy from the water, and handed it to Shu Yan in great surprise.

"Grandma, look at this."

Just as Shu Yan was about to take a closer look, he heard someone calling for help not far away. He saw a handsome woman holding a child two or three miles away, standing in front of a building that was about to collapse, facing towards the building. Several people called for help.

The child in the woman's arms looked like it had just been born.

This should be a village next to Xiachuan. The terrain here is relatively high, and the water has receded. However, many houses have collapsed, and many villagers are still searching for the ruins of the houses.

Shu Yan and Cheng San looked at each other, and Cheng San touched his leg.

"If I don't find a clean place to wrap my leg, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Cheng San's wound has turned black.

Shu Yan punted the boat towards the village, just as he got close to the boat, the woman holding the child ran to Shu Yan and knelt down.

Before Shu Yan could speak, the woman cried and said, "My son is sick, and there is no doctor in this village, so I have to go to a town thirty miles away to ask for a doctor."

In this season of floods, it is good for people to survive. If they are sick, they can endure it, but children can't.

Shu Yan glanced at the child, and a very bad thought came to her mind.

Cheng San glanced at the child. The child's face turned blue, obviously dehydrated.

Cheng San said quietly: "Your child has suffered from plague, and he will not survive even if he is sent to the town."

The woman turned pale when she heard Cheng San's words.

"You're not a doctor, how do you know?!"

Cheng San sneered, and took out a package of things out of nowhere, and after opening it, it turned out to be rows of silver needles.

Seeing what Cheng San was doing, the woman pulled his hand excitedly.

"Doctor, please save my son."

Cheng couldn't bear it on three sides.

"If it's a plague, how can I save it? But you, you'd better find a good place to put the child and keep him away from him, so as not to go west with the child."

The woman was furious when she heard the words, she pointed at Cheng San's face and said, "How dare you curse my child like that!"

The woman coughed and coughed as she spoke.

Cheng San hurriedly took Shu Yan and the two children away.

Cheng San said to Shu Yan: "Take them to the boat. I saw a hillside behind this village. I'll go find some useful medicinal materials. Otherwise, we'll catch the plague before we get out of the flood area and go to see Yan." His Majesty."

Shu Yan naturally obediently brought the two children onto the boat.

The woman who asked for help held the child and looked at Shu Yan viciously. Shu Yan ordered the two children to cover their mouths and noses.

Although there is a high probability that it is useless, there is still some comfort in the end.

Yu'an asked, "Grandma, why don't we help her?"

Yu'an looked at the woman, who was holding the child and crying helplessly. Among the ruined walls, others were doing their own things, and there were still a few soaked and whitish corpses piled up in the corner.

Flies swarmed over the corpses, and the sun made the water on the shore green.

Shu Yan felt a little hot, she wiped the sweat off her face.

"Can't help."

The sun tanned everyone listlessly, even the only surviving mulberry tree was a little wilted.

Shu Yan was so hungry that he panicked, so he asked Yu'an to bring the water bottle.

There is no water in the kettle.

Xiao Yu'er took the kettle from Shu Yan's hand, and was about to get off the boat to find a place to fetch water, but was stopped by Shu Yan.

"Don't go there, it's not clean, maybe if you drink it, you'll catch the plague."

Xiao Yu'er came back resentfully, sat on the boat and pulled some grass by himself, and started to weave straw sandals.After weaving one, she picked up the fishing rod and threw it into the water again, ready to fish.

The water was lifeless.

Yu'an glanced at Xiao Yu'er, thought for a while, and then whispered something.

"The flood has washed away the fish, and you're sure not to be able to catch them."

When Xiao Yu'er heard that someone was questioning her housekeeping skills, she immediately lowered her face.

"What do you know, I catch more fish than you eat."

Yu'an was a little angry, his face was flushed red, but his voice was louder than before.

"I usually don't eat fish with thorns. I always eat sea fish, and you have never caught sea fish."

Shu Yan wanted to laugh when he heard that, this kid actually knew how to change the subject.

Xiao Yu'er didn't notice anything.

"Sea fish, that's very expensive, don't brag."

Yu'an is an honest child, I really don't brag, the wealth of the Chen family is that of Yu'an, an unpopular illegitimate child, who spends several taels of silver on food every day.

Enough to buy a young servant.

Yu'an's face flushed with anger, he clenched his fists, as if he was thinking of how to refute Xiao Yu'er.

Shu Yan was only focused on watching the two children quarreling, but never noticed the woman holding the child.

I don't know when they came towards them.

He also had a kitchen knife in his hand.

Shu Yan only heard a sharp roar from the woman, and a gleaming kitchen knife slashed towards Shu Yan and the others.

Shu Yan is an old man, so she reacts slowly.

In an instant, Xiao Yu'er picked up the speargun and knocked out the knife in the woman's hand.

The woman immediately fell to the ground and began to cry loudly.

"Ah! I killed you, I killed you! My son..."

Shu Yan hurriedly rowed the boat away from the shore, her hands were shaking, she couldn't even say a word, and she didn't even dare to question the woman.

Just sitting in the boat and watching the woman.

A large hole was poked in the woman's wrist by the speargun, exposing the white bones.

Xiao Yuer held the speargun tightly and confronted the woman.

In contrast, Yu An and Shu Yan turned pale with fright.

Shu Yan couldn't help looking at Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er smiled at Shu Yan, she pretended to be calm and said, "Grandma."

Shu Yan reached out and touched Xiao Yu'er's head.

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
