Chapter 21: The Outbreak of the Plague

"Ouch! The second brother's mouth is so sweet. Chen Mengyu pursed her lips and smiled, like a shy peony, and her appearance was even more delicate.

"My good sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth from my heart, if you don't believe it, you can take a pair of scissors and rip out your brother's heart to see if it's red or black, or do you touch it?"

"Oh, what is the second brother doing? I'm not afraid of people's jokes. The beautiful woman hurriedly broke free, her face was already red, and her appearance was delicate, and she couldn't help but be stupid.

"Xi Tao, you should step back first, I have something important to tell your wife. The middle-aged man gasped and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"This?" Xitao looked at the beautiful woman, not daring to assert herself.

"Well, you go down first. Chen Mengyu was delicate and weak, and he wanted to welcome and refuse to face Baili. The men were red-faced, and they all retreated, and closed the door of the house, and after a while, only the sound of tables and chairs falling in the room, and the sound of men and women pushing and shoving.

"Second brother, you should be more respectful to your sister-in-law. The sound of a beautiful woman scolding came from inside the house.

"My sister-in-law said one, but my brother didn't dare to say two, so why was it disrespectful? I just want to treat my sister-in-law as Guanyin Bodhisattva, and worship it at the head of the bed every day. Baili Cheng eagerly swore a poisonous oath and kept showing his sincerity.

At this critical moment, a woman with a mediocre appearance hurriedly came, followed by a few rough maids and old mothers.

"Second lady Wanfu. Xi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "Get out of the way, where is the eight lambs of Baili Cheng, and what about the little hooves of your wife?" Wu Miaoyu's face was pale, and early in the morning, he listened to the maids whispering, saying that his master had gone to talk to the eldest lady again.

"Second lady, please stay, Mrs. and the second master are discussing important matters. Xi Tao hurriedly blocked the door.

"Get out, the sky is blue, the little uncle and the eldest sister-in-law are in the same room, and they are not afraid of people telling jokes, they are all a group of unashamed masters. Wu Miaoyu pulled Xi Tao away and kicked the door open. In the room, a beautiful woman was lying on the table, her clothes were half-undone, revealing her snow-white arms, and another middle-aged man was half-pressed on the beautiful woman, and his hands were still around the woman's small waist.

"Slut, you dare to seduce my master, I'm going to tear your vixen's face, see how you still make waves?" Wu Miaoyu's eyes breathed fire, slapped over, and kept scratching Chen Mengyu's face with both hands.

"Enough, my sister-in-law is not feeling well, I was just going to take my sister-in-law out of the house to see her doctor, you crazy woman, what are you making a mess here?" Baili Cheng overturned Wu Miaoyu to the ground, turned around to comfort the beautiful woman who was crying, and took off his coat and draped it on the woman.

"Oh, I'm not alive anymore, my sister-in-law seduces my brother-in-law, and my family is unlucky! Baili Cheng, you kill me, I don't have the face to see anyone, your own brother is still lying on the hospital bed, doing evil!" Wu Miaoyu lay on the ground and splashed it. "The mouth is not dry and clean, it is obvious that your man has asked me, you frame me, brother and sister, don't spew blood. Chen Mengyu trembled with anger, this old and unashamed mother-in-law, she couldn't control her man, and she even beat a rake, and she actually sprinkled her anger on herself.

"Chen Mengyu, you fox little hoof, the old lady wants to fight with you. Wu Miaoyu was not to be outdone, and after getting up from the ground, she chased Chen Mengyu and fought. For a while, Xi Tao and the others also began to protect their wives, and the maidservant girl and old mother brought by Wu Miaoyu also joined the battle, and the whole house was in chaos, beating and scolding for several hours, until Bai Li Cheng's son Bai Li Feng hurriedly came, and Bai Li Cheng and Wu Miaoyu were pulled away, and the matter came to an end.

Chen Mu, who was far away in Yucheng, naturally didn't know what happened in Baili Mansion, he didn't even know that Baili Yu was sick and paralyzed in bed, at this time, he was wandering around the streets of Yucheng to relax, in the autumn rain, the streets were sparsely populated, and Yucheng, which had suffered a heavy disaster, was a little desolate.

In the distance, a group of people gathered under one roof, an old man was lying on the ground, as if he was seriously ill, Chen Mu walked over with an umbrella.

"Old Tang, you go to the house again to help me intercede, so that I can die at home, and don't let me die on the street. "The old man's clothes are thin, and his breath is a little disordered.

"Fifth Brother Liu, your daughter-in-law is not easy to mess with, and your son is not oriented towards you, you might as well find a place to die quietly, why bother to suffer from their nests before the time come?"

"I'm not reconciled, when I was alive, I made cattle and horses for them, and built a new house for them, but now I am sick, but they want to kick me away, the sky is unfair. The old man was in tears. The neighbors around him also secretly wiped away their tears with sadness.

The plain-clothed girl walked into the crowd with an umbrella, and after listening to the old man's words, she suddenly felt unbearable, his father in that world was also so old, but it was a pity that yin and yang were separated, and he could no longer fulfill his filial piety, and there was only infinite regret in his heart.

"Open the door, open the door, who dropped the silver at the door?" the girl knocked on the door around the old man.

"If it falls at the door of my house, it is naturally my family's silver, and no one can take it. Within a few seconds, hurried footsteps and the woman's screams were heard.

The door creaked open, and a chubby woman, staring straight at the door, searched for the whereabouts of the silver, but did not look at the old man at the door.

"Boom!", and the crowd burst into laughter.

"This eldest sister, the old man on the ground, but a relative of your family?" asked Chen Mu aloud.

"Where's the silver? Is there silver at the door you just shouted? The little yellow-haired girl dares to deceive the old lady. The fat woman threw a punch at the girl, but unexpectedly, the girl reacted faster, turned around sharply, and then pushed the momentum, the fat woman not only pounced, but also fell to the ground due to weightlessness, and was covered in muddy water.

"Liu Xiaowang, you are unproductive, everyone has bullied your daughter-in-law, you are still hiding in the house and pretending to be a grandson, hurry up and get out of here. The woman was so heavy that she couldn't get up for a moment, and she kept cursing in her mouth.

After a while, a thin little man came out of the house, and went to pull the woman with a flattering face. "Is the man on the ground your father, why don't you even look at him?" Chen Mu grabbed the man, his tone angry. "This old immortal has a plague that can infect people, where can my family accommodate him?" the woman grabbed the thin man, and quickly ran into the courtyard and slammed the gate shut, refusing to show his face again.

Hearing this, everyone who was still watching just now subconsciously stayed away from the old man, and in the blink of an eye, everyone had dispersed, and on the empty street, only a girl with an umbrella and a terminally ill old man remained.

After the flood, another plague broke out on a very large scale in Yucheng.

Three days later, there was a secret news in Yanjing City: Baili Yan in Yucheng was suddenly infected with the plague and his life was in danger, and the night before yesterday, the palace sent the best imperial doctor to Yucheng.

Chen Mu, who was in the center of public opinion, was having a high fever at this time, Grandma Xiong, he was unlucky, and he was careless and contracted the plague. If it weren't for Zuo Xiquan's efforts to defend him, he would have been isolated by everyone at this moment.

And those so-called imperial doctors, but helpless for the plague, at the critical moment, Chen Mu can only save himself, when he was young in that world, there was a flood in his hometown, and then a plague also broke out, the local department organized treatment in time, and the epidemic was quickly controlled, but the world used mostly Western medicine, fortunately, he had an excellent memory, at that time there were several local prescriptions for treating the plague in the village, and he only read it once and remembered most of it.

In the past few days, he personally dispensed medicines, and sent people to the pharmacy to grab medicines and boil medicines, and tried prescriptions one by one.

There was an old lady outside the door, who was boiling medicine, the fragrance of medicine penetrated into Chen Mu's nose through the screen window, he only smelled a slight bitter fragrance, and his whole body was shivering, and in the haze, a man helped him up and put the bowl of medicine to his mouth.

"It's all my fault, I should have let you leave Yucheng earlier. The man took him into his arms, his tone full of self-reproach and guilt.

Maybe there is no endless road, the day after drinking that bowl of medicine, Chen Mu actually woke up, and the high fever also subsided, Zuo Xiquan, who learned about this, immediately put down all the affairs at hand, and ran back to the small courtyard desperately, and even forgot to ride the horse in a hurry. The girl in the courtyard was bathed in the morning light, dressed in plain clothes, like a snow-white jasmine flower.

The man in black, who was sweating hotly, suddenly felt that his heart was beating rapidly, and at that moment, he showed an extremely rare smirk, grinning, vigorous and handsome, as gentle as a big brother next door.

"Zuo Gongzi, I have found a cure for the plague. Chen Mu waved his arm at Zuo Xiquan.

"It's good that you're still alive!" The man in black couldn't hear the girl's words clearly, he only felt that the sun was shining and everything was blooming, he rushed over, grabbed the girl by the waist, and turned in circles, and then looked up to the sky and laughed. The guards who followed him were all dumbfounded, when did his master become a madman? Dare to hug the woman the emperor slept with, what a commendable courage!

"Hey, hey, the surname Zuo, let go of Lao Tzu, you dare to take advantage of Lao Tzu!" Chen Mu had a black line on his face, and then beat the man in black with all his might, Grandma Xiong, if it weren't for his body just recovered, he would have kicked this bastard who ate his tofu to the wall.

"Lao Tzu, the little girl's family, who taught you to learn from men to speak foul language?" Zuo Xiquan's face was full of confusion.

.......Lao Tzu was originally a man, but it is a pity that the sky is not long-sighted, so Lao Tzu wears the wrong body, thinking of this, Chen Mu's whole person is wilted.
