Pei Yuanqi came back from patrolling outside the city. When the boy saw him, he hurriedly greeted him.Pei Yuanqi returned to the camp, took off his sword and replaced his armor, and then asked the boy, "Has Zheng Sinong settled down?"

The boy said respectfully: "Zheng Sinong is very satisfied with the residence."

"That's fine."

Pei Yuanqi raised his feet and was about to go over when the boy told him the truth, "Zheng Sinong said that the general should not go to her tonight. He also said that you should stay away from her and keep your distance from now on."

Pei Yuanqi frowned, "I didn't let her enter the city immediately today. Is she annoyed with me?"

The boy said: "It shouldn't be the case. Zheng Sinong is afraid that he will be sick and give it to you."

"I know."

Pei Yuanqi wore regular clothes and walked outside Zheng Qiuyun's tent with a lantern.Zheng Qiuyun was about to take off her clothes when she heard something moving outside. She asked who it was.

Pei Yuanqi spoke up, "Don't be surprised, girl, it's Yuan Qi. Don't worry, I won't go in. I'll just say a few words to you outside the camp."

"Is there anything urgent?"

After Zheng Qiuyun asked this question, there was no sound from outside the camp for a long time.Zheng Qiuyun waited for a while before continuing to half-lean on the bed in a comfortable position.

After a while, she heard an aggrieved voice, "If you have nothing to do, can't you come find the girl?"

Zheng Qiuyun paused while holding the script, "I thought you had left."

There was another silence, and Pei Yuanqi whispered: "Since our last farewell in Beijing, Yuan Qi has only been able to communicate with the girl through letters. Now that I have finally seen someone, I still have to keep a distance from you. Yuan Qi feels uncomfortable."

Zheng Qiuyun put down his notebook and pursed his lips, "You have a heavy responsibility, which is different from mine. If I pass the illness and pass it on to you, I will blame myself."

"I know everything," Pei Yuanqi was silent for a while, and then lowered his voice, "You know, this is not what I want to hear."

At this time, there were sounds of bonfires burning and branches exploding, a few birds chirping occasionally in the forest after tired birds returned to the forest, and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling.Pei Yuanqi's deliberately lowered voice was not obvious, but Zheng Qiuyun heard it very clearly.

"I don't want you to go into the city because I'm worried about you getting sick. You don't want me to get sick because you're worried about the soldiers and people in Dongzhou being in trouble. Miss Zheng, can you care about me?"

After a pause, he added: "I am also at fault for not letting you enter the city today. It is right for Miss Zheng to be annoyed with me. It was Yuan Qi who overstepped his bounds and did not dare to ask for the girl's care."

Zheng Qiuyun lowered her head and picked her fingers, her expression a little confused, "I'm sorry." She really didn't care about Pei Yuanqi.

Pei Yuanqi was shocked when he heard what she said, and then said in a panic: "Miss Zheng, don't blame yourself, I'm talking nonsense. I'm strong, what kind of disease can I catch."

"By the way, Doctor Sun has prepared the medicine today and is now giving it to someone to try. I believe the results will be available soon, and I have to thank Miss Zheng for bringing it."

Zheng Qiuyun suddenly said, "Is the moon outside beautiful?"

Pei Yuanqi looked up and saw a bright moon hanging in the sky, dotted with stars. He answered truthfully, "It's beautiful."

"Then you stay away, and I will come out and enjoy the moon with you."

"No need, Miss Zheng, you have been working hard all day today, so you should rest early."

Zheng Qiuyun changed into protective clothing and put on a mask.In fact, she had received many vaccinations, so the chance of contracting the plague was low. Now she was taking the measures just in case, just in case.

"Stay back, I'm coming out."

Pei Yuanqi stood further away, Zheng Qiuyun undressed and came out, far away from him.I saw that the moonlight was beautiful tonight, and the ground was full of clear light. Pei Yuanqi was wearing moon-white clothes, standing under the moonlight.Seeing her, Pei Yuanqi's original smile turned into shame. He said sheepishly: "The people of Dongzhou are still in the plague, but Yuan Qi only cares about his children's personal affairs. It's really inappropriate."

It was only after Zheng Qiuyun came out that he felt how biting the wind was. Pei Yuanqi didn't feel cold even standing here.

She said: "I am a farmer who teaches people to farm, and you are a general who leads troops to fight. No one makes us responsible for the plague in Dongzhou. We just do our best. You don't need to feel guilty."

Pei Yuanqi was still embarrassed, "Now is not the time to admire the moon. Although Yuan Qi cares about his children's personal relationship, he will never be so big-hearted. In fact, Yuan Qi just wants to ask the girl, have you ever thought about me after we broke up?"

Zheng Qiuyun looked at him and saw that his eyes were like bright stars, waiting expectantly for an answer, "After the girl has finished speaking, Yuan Qi will leave immediately."

"I miss you."

Pei Yuanqi smiled shyly, "Sorry for disturbing you, Yuan Qi will leave now."

He kept his word, and after listening to Zheng Qiuyun's words, he immediately turned around and went back.Then, he went to see Dr. Sun again and kept his distance from Dr. Sun. "Testing the medicine today, will there be any results?"

Dr. Sun was puzzled: "There are many prescriptions, and I don't know which one is the right medicine. I have given them different medicines, and I will have to wait and see tomorrow."

"If there is anything in short supply, just tell me."

Doctor Sun said bluntly, "There is indeed something wrong with that."

"But it doesn't matter."

Doctor Sun then said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and people infected with the plague are complaining about the cold. I wonder if the general can find quilts to keep them warm."

After the war and plague, the shops in Dongzhou have long been closed.The people's families were destroyed and displaced, and they really didn't have many quilts to carry with them.

What's even more difficult is that now, in order to control the plague, the city has been sealed off, and there is no way to get quilts from outside.

"I'll think of a way."

The next day, Zheng Qiuyun went to take care of Wu An after dinner. There were fewer people in the shed, and the atmosphere was very gloomy.There were coughing sounds inside, people shouting that they were cold, and some people felt bone aches and suspected that they were going to die.

The man lying on Zheng Wu'an's upper bunk stuck his head out and begged: "Girl, come from outside, can you find us some quilts?"

As soon as he spoke, the people on the other beds looked over hopefully.They didn't speak, but the desire in their eyes was very obvious.

Then, someone said: "Now that the city is closed, no one can bring anything in, so why would you bother a girl?"

After hearing this, they lay back on the bed and curled up.

Zheng Wenping said: "Sister, don't worry, there is a lot of cotton in Dongzhou, but it was scattered everywhere because of the war. Just send people to find the cotton, wash it and dry it, and then it will be covered."

Pei Yuanqi has already followed the method that Zheng Wenping thought of, but it was difficult to find it for a while, and the patients in Dongying could only freeze temporarily.

Zheng Qiuyun rested his chin on his hands and thought for a while. If they didn't have thick quilts and kept freezing, even if they found a cure for the plague, they would still be infected with the cold and linger on their sick beds.

She thought about the quilt she bought before. It cost 190 yuan to make a six-pound quilt, including the inner liner. Now they are having trouble finding old quilts.

It is true that you can buy quilts in the mall, but one is expensive, and the other is that there are many extra quilts for no reason, which inevitably arouses suspicion. (End of chapter)
