Chapter 69 0069 The epidemic appears!

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a thin shirt, looking sleepy and yawning came out.

"Hurry up, tell me what's going on." Li Wangshi urged.

"It's the Cheng family's sister-in-law." Li Lu said in a low voice, not paying attention to his wife's urging. After yawning again, he asked calmly, "Why are you here so late?"

"Brother Li! I'm really sorry to disturb your rest. Tonight..."

Cheng Chen told what happened. Then she asked nervously, "So, I want to know if my husband is okay?"

Li Lu thought for a moment and said to his wife:

"Go and close the door."

Li Wangshi didn't think much about it and went over and quietly closed the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Li Lu whispered:
"There are rules from above that anything related to the city cannot be made public at will. If you are caught, you will be fired at the least and thrown into prison at the worst.

But Doctor Cheng is a good man, so I will say something. What comes out of my mouth enters your ears. "

"Thank you, thank you." Cheng Chen said gratefully, "Don't worry, Brother Li. I understand and won't say it casually."

Li Lu nodded, and then slowly said: "In the past two days, many people outside the city have been vomiting and having diarrhea, and many people have high fever. This has caused a lot of trouble.

Many refugees could not help but attack the county town again, and many were killed before the situation was suppressed.

The latter symptom also appeared in the city, but the number was small. It was said that it was caused by overwork, poor diet and sleep, and heatstroke. I thought that this might be the reason why Doctor Cheng was taken away. "

However, when Cheng Chen heard this, her face changed drastically, and the lantern in her hand fell to the ground. The light went out and the yard fell into darkness.

Noticing Cheng Chen's reaction, Li Lu frowned. Although he didn't know any medical skills, he knew something was wrong after seeing her reaction, so he asked:

"Sister-in-law of the Cheng family, do you know what disease this is?"

Li Lu stared at Chen Qin with a serious expression.

Li Lu's wife, Li Wang, also noticed something was wrong and said:
"Sister, it's already this late, just say whatever you want to say!"

Chen Qin thought about it, shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not sure yet, it's just a guess. But it should be related to the epidemic.

My husband had previously told me about the situation outside the city and was worried about the outbreak of an epidemic.

Now, Brother Li, what you said may have happened to us."

Hearing the word "epidemic", Li Wangshi beside him hadn't reacted yet: "What is hysteria? Is it hysteria?"

But Li Lu's eyes were trembling and his face was gloomy.

Li Lu looked at Chen Qin and asked again with a serious expression: "Ms. Cheng, are you sure it's really this disease?"

Chen Qin said: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure. Now, I have something to ask of you."

Chen Qin said, took out a purse and handed it to Li Lu, saying in a pleading tone:
"I want to ask Brother Li for help and check on my husband's situation in the county government.

If possible, within your ability, please help me take care of him or say a few good words for him. Here is twenty taels of silver, please take care of it. See if you can find a way to get my husband back. I will repay you when my husband comes back."

Li Lu didn't take the money, nor did he say anything, but fell into deep thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said:

"I won't take the money yet. I'll go to the county government office tomorrow to have a look. But I'm just a yamen runner. To put it bluntly, I can act arrogantly in front of the people, but I don't have the power to ask the people above me to do anything in the government office.

Of course, if there is something I can help with, I will, but I also hope you can help me."

"You go ahead." Chen Qin said quickly.

"If it is really an epidemic, and if we get it, I hope you can help treat it."

Li Lu knew very well that if there really was an epidemic and it broke out in the county, not to mention low-level yamen runners like them, even the constables might not be able to be treated.

Besides relying on fate, just get through it! Otherwise, the end is death! So, he is also helping himself now.

"Okay!" Chen Qin said, "As long as we are still in the county and not under the supervision of the government, we will find a way."

"Okay, you go back first. If there is any news tomorrow, I will ask your sister-in-law to tell you." Li Lu said.

"Thank you, Brother Li, thank you!" Chen Qin felt a little relieved, then she picked up the lantern again and left quickly.

After Chen Qin left, Li Lu said to his wife who closed the door:
"Starting tomorrow, don't go out unless it's necessary. I'll buy more food and drinks tomorrow. Also...if any children come over, tell them not to leave the city or go out."

Li Wang frowned: "What happened? I've never heard that hysteria can be contagious... an epidemic?"

Only then did Li Wangshi suddenly realize what the disease was. She trembled and asked, "Plague, plague?"

Li Lu frowned and said nothing.

At this point, Li Wangshi's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground. She said in a trembling voice with a pale face, "Plague, plague, what should we do? Boss, you have to find a way. You can't stay here!"

"Shut up! If you yell any louder, are you afraid that our family won't die fast enough?" Li Lu interrupted and glared at him, "Okay, stay home. I'm going to go out for a while."

He hurriedly put on his clothes and looked a little depressed before going out.

Only then did he understand why the higher authorities asked them to go to each village to recruit able-bodied men for labor service instead of recruiting them outside the city!
……

Jinqiao Village, Cheng family.

After the meal, while everyone was eating watermelon, Zhou Hansong and three other elders began to express their decision.

Then, while everyone was confused, they were asked to take their valuables with them, as well as prepare bedding, clothes, straw mats and other light items, and prepare to go into the mountains overnight.

"Didn't you say we'll go into the mountains tomorrow? With parents' condition, how can they afford to go into the mountains now?" Zhou Xu was a little worried.

"It's okay, we'll carry it in." Zhou Hanchang said.

Seeing that the boss had made the decision, they had no choice but to act quickly.

The whole family started to take action.

This time we went into the mountains, we brought some simple clothes and quilts so that everyone could spend a night in the mountains.

Tomorrow will be much better.

Cheng Zongyang will move the rest of the things by himself later.

However, Cheng Zongyang still felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

After drinking a large bowl of ginseng and deer penis health-promoting soup and then eating the deer penis, I felt very hot all over.

The medicinal diet was indeed effective! At that moment, he missed women very much!

But there is no other way, so I have to train basic swordsmanship in the wilderness to consume the excess energy in my body!
Gradually, he became familiar with the basic knife techniques and performed them in an orderly manner.

Finally, the heat and restlessness in his body subsided, and Cheng Zongyang left and went home.

The effect of this venting training was also very good. At the same time, his attribute interface also changed.
