However, their family also had to live, and if this food was given to Qi Lang, their family would probably starve to death, so Zhang Xiucai did not force Zhang Wang's family to take out the food.

"Brother Zhang, I'm cheeky today, and I have another request, to see if we can take Yue'er away for the sake of our friendship!" Qi Lang gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Xiucai.

Qi Lang and Ruan's husband and wife have a very good relationship, and it doesn't hurt to live and die together with Ruan's, but he can't bear to let a few children follow him to die, he can't ask Zhang Xiucai to take all the children away, but it's still okay to take one of July, after all, July is young and can't eat much, with his love for Zhang Xiucai, he doesn't think Zhang Xiucai will refuse.

"This," Zhang Xiucai felt that this request was nothing, and he was about to agree, but was interrupted by Zhang Wang.

"It stands to reason that we can indeed take Yue'er, and I like this child very much, but she is held in your sister-in-law's arms every day, maybe she is also infected, if you take her, what if you infect others!" Zhang Wang said with a stiff face.

Zhang Wang's words made the rest of the people also vigilant, and everyone looked at Qi Lang with hostility, a group of people who had gotten along well before now seemed to have become enemies in an instant.

Qi Lang sighed heavily, he didn't say anything more, just held his fist and arched his hand.

And Zhang Xiucai glanced at Qi Lang very guiltily, and finally ruthlessly, turned his head, and returned to the car with Zhang Wang's family, and the convoy left in the dust, leaving only Qi Lang's family in place.

"Dad, don't worry, I know how to cure my mother!" Seeing that Qi Lang frowned tightly and didn't speak, July smiled lightly in his tone, and then said.

"Sister, do you have a way?" Qi Tianxing stood next to Qiyue, and shouted in surprise after hearing Qiyue's words.

Qi Tianxing believed July's words, but Qi Zhengyang was very skeptical, and Qi Lang didn't believe it even more, after all, July was only six years old, so Qi Lang only thought that July was comforting himself.

"Good boy, Dad is fine!" Qi Lang said as he touched Qiyue's head.

"Dad, what I said is true, I really know how to save my mother, as long as I find the bark of a tree and boil water to drink, I can cure the plague. July hurriedly said.

It stands to reason that Qi Lang won't take what this kind of child says seriously, but what July said is really serious, and Qi Lang doesn't have the slightest idea now, and finally he squatted down after thinking about it, and said to July, "What kind of bark are you talking about?"

"Dad, come here, I saw that kind of tree just now!" said July as he pulled Qi Lang as he walked.

In fact, this plague is not an incurable disease, in fact, as long as you boil water with the bark of a tree called red wormwood, you can be cured, but the bark of this red wormwood tree has an extremely disgusting taste, even in this kind of famine, no one peels the bark of this tree to eat, so it was not until half a year later that a cure for the plague was discovered, and at that time three-quarters of the people in the entire northwest had died.

The red mugwort tree is not difficult to find, and I saw one when I was picking up wood grass in July just now.

"Dad, this is this kind of tree, you can quickly peel off the bark and boil it for your mother to drink!" said July.

Qi Lang looked at the red wormwood tree, and looked down at July, he really couldn't get his hands on it, he knew this tree, as long as it was stained a little, the smell couldn't get away for a long time, and now he wanted to give this to Ruan's 、、、, thinking of that smell, Qi Lang was a little disgusted.

"Yue'er, where did you hear that this can cure diseases?" Qi Lang asked helplessly to Qiyue.

"When I dreamed, a white-bearded old man told me. July said.

This answer is really too unconvincing, but Qi Lang saw July's determined appearance and couldn't refuse, not to mention that Ruan's plague was indeed more auspicious, and now although he felt that what July said was too nonsense, but just waiting to die like this is not as good as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Qi Lang was ruthless, and finally started to peel the bark.

Anyway, no matter how smelly this tree is, it is not poisonous, and even if you eat it, it will be fine.

As soon as the bark was peeled off, the stench became even more obvious, Qi Tianxing and Qi Zhengyang were both smoked and retched, while Qi Lang put the bark in a broken casserole that he picked up halfway, poured a little water from the water bladder he carried, and boiled it on the bonfire he had just lit.

It's also strange to say, the bark that smelled so stinky just now didn't have much taste when it was boiled in water, and when the bark was almost cooked, Qi Lang slowly fed the water to Ruan's family.

Qi Lang didn't have much hope, but what he didn't expect was that Ruan Shi woke up miraculously not long after drinking this water, Qi Lang was overjoyed, and hurriedly boiled some batter for Ruan's with the food in the mezzanine of his clothes, and Ruan's spirit after drinking the batter was much better, and he was completely cured after resting here for a few days.

Ruan's illness is cured, but new problems have come out again, Qi Lang led Ruan and the children to continue to the capital to escape the famine, but in just a few days, the sinking of the disaster relief grain ship has spread throughout the northwest, the hope of the people because of this news is completely shattered, as long as the people who are still alive will begin to flee, so the road can see the disaster people everywhere, and the plague also began to spread with this great escape, for a time there were dead corpses everywhere on the roadside, the weather was hot, the smell of corpse decay could spread far and wide, here was like hell on earth, and the victims seemed to have been used to it, everyone looked numb, staggering forward with a stick, not sure when he will fall.

Although it is very economical to eat, but the food is almost finished, and July does not dare to blatantly take out the food, so he can only secretly put a little less food in the mezzanine of the clothes every time, but this food is not enough to eat, so every day in addition to escaping, Qi Lang will also take Qi Zhengyang out to find food and water back, now the bark grass roots or grass seeds are good things, mice and sparrows have long been eaten clean, if you can meet a bug, it is all luck.

And on this day, everyone walked for a day, and at night they rested under a dry tree on the side of the road, Qi Lang and Qi Zhengyang took advantage of the darkness to find water as usual, and July didn't think much about it, but after she sat down to rest for a while, she suddenly found that there was a stone mill tied to a red rope opposite the place where she was sitting, and this stone mill looked particularly familiar.

Where have you seen this stone mill? July was stunned for a moment, this was actually a trivial matter that didn't need to be paid attention to at all, but July subconsciously felt that it was very important, so she began to rummage through the memories of the original owner repeatedly, trying to find memories of this stone mill.
