First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 459 It Has Already Happened

Du Rongzhi hurriedly stopped her, and saw that the child was only a few years older than Guan'er, but was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red with sadness, and she just stretched out her hand to gently stroke the little boy's head.

She knew that the two steamed buns were nothing compared to what they needed, and she also wanted to leave more food for them, but if a woman brought a child, if someone came to snatch it...

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, and whispered a few words to Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan nodded, and hurriedly turned around to look for Zhang Ahu. When she came back, she already had two wrapped steamed buns in her hand, and handed them to the woman, "I have already told him that this sister-in-law can come here to eat every morning." Steamed buns..." Facing the woman's surprised and excited gaze, Du Rongzhi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this Ah Hu used to be a butcher, and he was the most vicious in the whole street...you eat under his nose, Make sure no one dares to rob you."

The woman was so moved that she couldn't speak, she just fell on the ground and kowtowed.

Du Rongzhi hurriedly supported her, "I can only help you here... Hurry up and feed the child."

The woman wiped away her tears, thanked her several times, and then found a corner with the baby in her arms, and carefully fed it.

Du Rongzhi looked back at the victims who had already lined up to get the steamed buns, and sighed softly, "Let's go."

....................................

Song Zixun was not in the yamen.

"The yamen servant said that I went to the resettlement site for the victims outside the city early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet." Changxing came out of the county yamen, and reported through the curtain, "Young madam, do you want to go back to the mansion first and wait?" ..."

"We're leaving the city now." Du Rongzhi said indifferently.

Now that the refugees have just poured in, it should be too late... She must see Song Zixun right away, she can't wait any longer!

Changxing felt helpless.

He really didn't understand why the young lady insisted on coming back at this time... Isn't this adding to the trouble of the young master!

He had no choice but to dissuade in a low voice, "Young Madam, I heard from the yamen servant inside that the current situation outside the city is worse than we expected... All the righteous villages are full of refugees from other counties. I'm so busy now, don't you see—"

"Needless to say," Du Rongzhi interrupted coldly, "Leave the city."

Changxing's voice faltered, he had no choice but to say yes, and got on his horse, "Let's go, get out of the city!"

....................................

At that time, Song Zixun was frowning, listening to the doctor's report with a solemn expression.

"These people all have varying degrees of fever, diarrhea, and fatigue...and they've been living in the same area for a while...I'm afraid..."

Song Zixun pursed his lips and looked at him.

In order to facilitate the administration, the victims in the resettlement site are now divided into several areas, and each area is managed by a dedicated government official.Today, a few people in Ding District suddenly had a fever and fell into a coma. I asked the doctor to come over to have a look, only to find that they were not the only ones who had the fever.Nearly a quarter of the people in the entire region have symptoms such as headache, fever, diarrhea, and fatigue...

What does this mean... the answer is self-evident.

"This disease... is there a cure for this disease, sir?" Song Zixun asked in a deep voice after a short silence.

The old doctor said cautiously, "The old man can only try to prescribe the right medicine first."

Song Zixun nodded, "Please give it a try, sir."

The old doctor hurriedly cupped his hands, "I will do my best."

Song Zixun nodded, and ordered, "Wei Wu, go back to the city with Mr. Zhang to grab the medicine, and inform the soldiers in the city to step up inspections for a while, and if you find any refugees with strange bodies, send them here immediately."

Wei Wu hurriedly said, "Yes, this subordinate is taking orders." Then he followed Dr. Zhang out.

Song Zixun thought for a while, "Liu Chang, you take someone to place those refugees who have symptoms alone in the courtyard to the west, and sprinkle lime powder on the place where they used to stay... The entrance is temporarily blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Let people pay attention at all times, and report immediately if other victims feel unwell."

Liu Chang hurriedly said, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After saying that, he was about to lead the yamen servants out.

"Wait a minute." Song Zixun paused, "You have to protect yourself too."

Liu Chang grinned and showed his white teeth, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates are as strong as cattle, even the god of plague will have to go around when they see it." He glanced at Song Zixun and sighed, "My lord, but you Our backbone...you have to take care of yourself."

Song Zixun waved his hand, "Go."

After all the yamen servants left, Song Zixun leaned on the table and rubbed the space between his brows wearily.

In the past few days, he only slept for one or two hours a day, and once he stopped, he felt extremely sleepy...

But I saw Changxing walking in quickly from the outside, "Master..."

Song Zixun was startled, and his face suddenly turned cold, "You are not obedient to serve the young lady, what are you doing here?" A sudden thought came to his mind, which made his unattractive face even more ugly.

Sure enough, Chang Xing said with a sullen face, "I can't help it... It's the Young Madam who heard about the refugees and suddenly decided to come back. Now he's outside..."

Song Zixun's eyes suddenly darkened, and he shouted, "Nonsense!"

Changxing trembled, and was searching his brain for an explanation, but saw Song Zixun, whose face was sinking like water a moment ago, suddenly fixed his eyes on the direction of the gate.

Changxing was blessed instantly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Du Rongzhi, who couldn't wait to inform him, had already walked in by himself.

Only then did Changxing heave a sigh of relief, and retreated with a wink.

Although he had long thought that these days must be very difficult for him, seeing his thin cheekbones and bloodshot eyes, Du Rongzhi still couldn't help but want to shed tears.

She forced a smile and said softly, "Don't scold him... I insisted on coming."

Song Zixun sighed, "Okay, what are you doing here? Can't you save me some time?" There was deep fatigue and worry in his tone.

Du Rongzhi's eyes became hot, she sniffed lightly, and said solemnly, "Zixun, I have something very important to tell you..."

Song Zixun pulled her to sit down, and said helplessly, "What is it that makes you can't even wait for me to go back?"

"Do you still remember the dream I told you last time?" Du Rongzhi was afraid of being interrupted by him, grabbed his hand vigorously, and said incoherently, "There will be floods in the south, and after the floods, there will be a terrible disaster. Plague... Zixun, that dream, that dream is real! You have to believe me!"

She had guessed Song Zixun's reaction after hearing her words, maybe it was funny, maybe it was suspicion, maybe it was impatience... But none of these expressions appeared on his face.

He just looked at her silently for a while, "I know." He said in a deep voice, "Because it...has happened."
