Chapter 235 is crooked

"Master Hou, what else do you have to order?" Qiu Chen said lightly, his expression was calm and indifferent, without the usual shyness or annoyance of ordinary women when they encounter this situation. If it weren't for her slightly overly straight waist, it would have been almost impossible to see the tension in her heart.

A flash of interest flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, and his dark eyes met Qiu Chen's gaze, as if he wanted to probe all the way to the bottom of her heart.

As she spoke, looking at this man who made her feel very complicated, Qiu Chen gradually calmed down. Although this person seems to be domineering and cold, from the contact with each other, Qiu Chen can still confirm that this person is not acting falsely, and is quite a bit of a 'gentleman's style', yes, what he did today is a bit too far away, that's all, if he really does something excessive, Qiu Chen still believes that he will not. Or rather, this man's arrogance made him disdain to do that!

After being more determined and calm, Qiu Chen was not in a hurry to withdraw his hand at all. Her eyes were completely relaxed, the corners of her mouth even curved slightly, and her gaze was calm and indifferent like a lake under the autumn sun, calm, calm, and without waves.

Qin Zheng has been paying attention to her eyes, and has been paying attention to the changes in her expression, and these subtle changes naturally did not escape his eyes.

Countless words rolled in his throat, but what Qin Zheng opened his mouth to say was: "You sit down, I don't drink much, I don't need to sober up!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded very softly, relaxed and sat down opposite Qin Zheng, his eyes fell on his wrist, and then raised his eyes and smiled at Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng was slightly embarrassed, as if he was a little reluctant to let go of his hand, his eyes dodged, but he still clearly saw the obvious red marks on the slender wrist, and he couldn't help but feel distressed and annoyed.

Hanging his head slightly, he coughed lightly to hide the slight discomfort on his face, Qin Zheng said, "You are really taking a risk in this plague matter. ”

Qiu Chen had heard too much of this in the morning, and when he heard it again at this time, he only smiled faintly and said: "At that time, the plague was approaching, and seeing the people fleeing in Anyang City blocking the road, so many old people with inconvenient legs and feet, and some babies who were waiting to be fed were caught in the flow of people and fled to avoid disaster...... I also have family, and I have several relatives who are living or dying in the lockdown zone...... Hehe, as soon as my brain was hot at that time, I invited myself into the epidemic area, and I didn't think too much about it at all. ”

After a pause, Qiu Chen didn't wait for Qin Zheng's reaction, and continued to say calmly: "However, I don't regret what I did. Although there may be others without me, I am very relieved that through my hard work and hard work, so many lives have been saved...... You don't know, the first death I saw when I entered the epidemic area was only in his twenties, and he just got married last year, and his wife was still pregnant with a child...... You don't know how unwilling and uneasy he was when he died...... At that time, I thought, if I had not been as selfish as before, and only cared about self-preservation, maybe this young man would not have died, and his wife and children who had not met would not have lost their husband and father......"

Recounting with a gloomy and remorseful expression, Qiu Chen shook his head, the gloomy remorse on his face turned into calm, and he looked at Qin Zheng with a smile and said, "However, then I figured it out, I came, I saved those who could be saved, and I did my best." I have a clear conscience and no regrets! ”

Qin Zheng looked at her quietly, but his dark eyes fluctuated frequently, and his eye sockets shrank slightly, showing that he was not at peace in his heart. This woman always amazes him and delights him again and again.

Although the woman in front of him was slender and thin, he saw such vigorous vitality and vitality in her body again and again. This time, he saw not only vitality, but also a strong and resolute heart. She looks weak, but she is extremely strong inside.

She has entered the epidemic area with countless living people, and it is said that many people in Qinghe County have set up a longevity tablet for her, and they pray for her every day with incense. But she didn't have the slightest arrogance, not even the slightest complacency. She said very frankly that she was afraid of the epidemic and selfishly didn't want to pay attention to it. She didn't say anything about mercy or responsibility...... She only said that she was just hot-headed when she entered the epidemic area, but she said that she had no regrets!

What a shame and no regrets!

He went to the north to join the army, just to find a way to get into, but really integrated into the border army, really regarded himself as a border army soldier, he worked hard to find the meaning of his existence, countless battlefield battles, cast his famous and glorious achievements, but he did not forget those ordinary soldiers, he sought healing medicine for those people, carefully considered every strategy and tactics, just to ensure the victory of the war at the same time, try to protect those soldiers, those comrades...... Now that he is asking himself, he can also say that he is not ashamed and has no regrets!

In the turmoil of the mood, a heavy sense of distress and pity also rose from the bottom of my heart.

Although she didn't say a word about the danger and hardship in the epidemic area, he knew that this 'no shame and no regrets' contained too much, too much hard work and danger that she didn't want to declare...... From her description, she was so clear about the death, and I knew that the patients, many of the patients, were by their side when they died...... He didn't experience how dangerous that environment was, but he felt it all. That means she can be infected anytime and anywhere, and she can be a dead ......

Just think about it, she may have died painfully in the epidemic area countless times, never to come back, and even because of the plague, she could not even find her body...... His heart seemed to be tugged at tightly, and the pain was unbearable.

He looked into her eyes, determined, and said without giving anyone room for rebuttal: "Don't be so willful in the future!" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Well, I know, don't worry." I also happen to know the treatment for this epidemic, and if it is replaced by another disease, I have no choice, so naturally I will not take risks...... Besides, the plague does not happen every year, and maybe, it will happen to me once in my life! ”

This sounds supple, but when you look closely, there is no substantial guarantee at all...... There is a cure for the disease, and the disease may never occur again...... What if it happened, what if she still had the corresponding treatment in her hand? She didn't say anything, but looking at her words, it was not difficult to see that she might still be hot-headed into the epidemic area!

Qin Zheng was of course not satisfied with such a coping answer, but he couldn't get angry.

Without waiting for Qin Zheng to answer, Qiu Chen continued: "Also, even if the same epidemic occurs again, I shouldn't be needed." I entered the epidemic area this time, and I gained a lot, not only verified that the prescription is indeed effective, but also made a detailed detailed rules for prevention and control measures according to the specific situation I saw...... Wait, I'll show you! ”

As he spoke, he jumped off the kang and walked out in a hurry, but the tea kung fu came back, holding a pile of paper in his hand, and when he entered the door, it was like handing it to Qin Zheng, but when Qin Zheng stretched out his hand, he retracted it again.

"Hey, I forgot, this paper was brought out of the epidemic area. You can't touch ...... So I'll show you! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen sat down opposite Qin Zheng, turned the paper to the page of epidemic prevention and control, leaned forward and held it with both hands, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Zheng's gaze had already fallen on the handwriting on the paper, and he nodded slightly in response, but his gaze kept moving on the paper all the time, and he raised his eyes in a moment: "So many are prevention and control measures?" ”

Qiu Chen was turning the page, and when he heard Qin Zheng's inquiry, he raised his eyes and nodded: "Well, I didn't enter the epidemic area before, and I didn't have so many details...... For example, the ditches where farmers discharge sewage are very chaotic, and some of them go directly to the canals, which I ignored at first, but as a result, the disease in the county town was under control, but the epidemic in the village was still raging......"

Qin Zheng retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and groaned, "I don't need to look at this thing...... Well, you copy it again, and I'll hand it over! ”

Qiu Chen did not have the slightest surprise, for large-scale disasters such as plagues and floods, it is not enough to rely on a few people, if you want to get the most haode effect, it is naturally the state to come forward, and this era is the best for the imperial court. Of course, Qiu Chen's writing is more to let more people understand the concept of epidemic prevention and control, in case the same epidemic occurs in other regions, someone can learn from these prevention and control treatment measures, so as to control the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, and ultimately reduce the harm caused by the epidemic and reduce the number of deaths!

Therefore, hearing Qin Zheng say this, she agreed without the slightest hesitation: "Okay." Later...... I'll copy it, and I'll send someone to you tomorrow!" ”

The thing that Qiu Chen took out can be called an unexpected joy, and with this, his errand of supervising epidemic prevention and control this time is even more perfect. Although the woman was open-minded, he knew very well the weight of such a thing.

After Tang Wenyong pulled Lin Xu away, he rested in the east wing room where he entered. After all, Lin Xu was young, and he hadn't drunk a few times, and after being pulled by Tang Wenyong to rest, he soon fell asleep. Tang Wenyong didn't have much alcohol, and seeing that Lin Xu was asleep, he got up and paid attention to the movement of the main house through the window. Seeing Qiu Chen come out and turn back, in this situation, everything that should be talked about should be finished and finished, and he didn't have to stay in the wing room anymore, so he followed Qiu Chen into the main house.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Wenyong was stunned by Qin Zheng's cold eyes, looking at his eyes, why didn't he seem to have come at the right time?

Qiu Chen also saw Tang Wenyong who walked in, and got up with a smile to greet him: "How is it?" Did you wake up? ”

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pour the tea, but he shrank back halfway through, and said with a smile: "I just took something from the epidemic area, I can't pour the tea for you, you pour it yourself...... I'm going to put down my things and wash my hands! ”

After speaking, he bent his knees slightly and walked out briskly.

Tang Wenyong was stunned, sat down opposite Qin Zheng, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, leaned forward, and said mysteriously: "What? This woman didn't answer? ”

Qin Zheng glanced at him coldly from the corner of his eye, and lowered his eyes again to drink tea.

He himself didn't understand, he didn't know what he was going to say Weishenme couldn't say, how could he say it, and it became a discussion of the epidemic?

Qiu Chen went back to the backyard to wash his hands, and turned back, Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong quickly got up and said goodbye. She sent the two to the gate, watched them get into the car, and turned back.

The paper and pen used for those materials were actually sent in from outside, and she had cleaned them thoroughly at that time, so there was basically no possibility of contamination. But she still adheres to the principle of killing by mistake and not missing out, and tries her best to do a thorough job of protection in case of possible infection.

Another copy, Qiu Chen pondered to let the Shunzi family give birth to a brazier, put it under the kang, she divided the labor between her left and right hands, the left hand was responsible for turning the old manuscript, and the right hand was responsible for holding clean paper, using paperweight, and writing...... After each copy, the old manuscript was thrown into the brazier and burned. If so, it avoids pollution to the greatest extent, but it slows down a lot.

After sending Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong away, Qiu Chen began to copy them, and by the time they had dinner, they had only copied half of them.

After washing his hands, Qiu Chen had dinner with Lin Xianniang, and then continued to copy, and at the end of the day, he could finish copying an epidemic prevention information.

Putting down the pen, washing his hands carefully, and letting Chen remove the brazier, Qiu Chen picked up the copied haode paper and looked at it carefully...... The words are not good, but this time they were copied by one hand, and the writing is almost unreadable!

"Alas, it's a trivial matter to lose face with such an ugly word, if it's mistaken because the ugly word is not clear, it will matter a lot!" Qiu Chen rubbed his head in distress and said with a sad face.

Junzi's family happened to walk in and said with a smile: "The second master just woke up, and the slave maid has already sent dinner over." ”

Qiu Chen burst into a smile and raised his eyes to look over, Lin Xianniang was also looking at her and smiling.

Her words are unsightly, and there is a word haode in her house. Lin Xu's original handwriting was stronger than her, and after getting the guidance of Master Guo, she is now writing a little bit of style.

Qiu Chen nodded, jumped off the kang and walked out: "Fifth sister is also tired for a day, let's go and rest first!" I'll go and tell my second brother to go! ”

Being able to do something for his sister-in-law, Lin Xu naturally didn't say anything, agreed without hesitation, hurriedly ate dinner, and lit the lamp and carefully copied it.

Qiu Chen ordered someone to add two more candles, and told Lin Xu not to stay up late, and to copy it again the next day, so he turned back to the backyard. These days have accumulated a lot of fatigue in the epidemic area, and this day has been busy from the morning to this point, and she is really tired, so she went back to her room to wash and sleep.

When you go back to your home, you don't have to worry about the epidemic that may be transmitted at any time, and you don't have to wear a thick mask to breathe...... Qiu Chen fell asleep almost with his head next to the pillow. A good night's sleep.

On the second day, Qiu Chen woke up in the morning, and in the blink of an eye, Qiu Chen turned his head to look at the table clock on the kang cabinet, it was already past nine o'clock.

It's the first time she's woken up so late since she's here!

Since it was late, Qiu Chen was not in a hurry to get up, he simply lay on the kang, stretched out his arms, relaxed his body and lazy in the quilt for a while, and then got up.

Hearing this, Chen walked in from outside, bent his knees to greet him, sent hot water into the ear room, and waited for Qiu Chen to wash up.

Lin Xianniang also followed with breakfast and sent it in: "Sister-in-law slept well last night, this time I fell asleep, and my sister-in-law's complexion was much better!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xianniang from the mirror and said with a smile: "It's better to sleep soundly in your own home......

As he spoke, Chen had already curled Qiu Chen's hair. took a jasper crested hairpin, leaned over and asked, "Madam, is it good to use this hairpin?" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, asked Chen to help her put the hairpin into her hair, looked at it for a while, and then got up and sat on the kang to start breakfast.

Lin Xianniang got up: "Sister-in-law, my sister will go to the shop to have a look, clean up, and tomorrow will be opened!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded: "Go, take Shunzi or Erkui, and let the Wang family follow......"

Lin Xianniang didn't need her to send it, so she promised to go.

Lin Xu also came over front and back and sent two stacks of paper. Qiu Chen saw Lin Xu's reddened eyes at first sight, and hurriedly sent him to rest in distress, ate breakfast in a hurry, handed over Lin Xu's copy of haode epidemic prevention materials to Zeng Daniu, and sent him to Qin Zheng to send it over.

This is done, and the matter of going to the epidemic area is over.

Qiu Chen beckoned Erkui to set up the car, and was escorted out of the city by Qin Li to check on the workshop, Liu Zhanxiang and Xu Qianzhi took care of the workshop very well, and it was not too affected by the plague.

Coming out of the workshop, Qiu Chen didn't go back to the city, and directly asked Erkui to drive around Anyang City and go to Nannuma Lake.

On the bluestone road leading to Nanmar Lake, a lot of grass has grown in the cracks of the stones, and the Zhuangzi by Nannuma Lake is also quietly desolate, without the jubilant scene of chickens and ducks and sheep bleating. It is full of water chestnuts and lotus roots that grow very well, densely turned, although the lotus leaves and water chestnut leaves have withered yellow, but it can be seen that they used to flourish.

Water chestnut is the seventh month of the lunar calendar to enter the ripening season, and it can be harvested every day. Water chestnut has a habit, once the harvest is not timely, the water chestnut will automatically fall off and sink to the bottom of the water after it is ripe.

By the end of August, the water chestnut had already fallen to the bottom of the water, and some could still be salvaged in the shallow water, but there was no way to do it in the deep water. However, lotus roots and lotus seeds should be picked and harvested as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too difficult to get into the water when the weather is cold.

Along the way, the fields and villages were empty and quiet, and the displaced people before the plague were nowhere to be found, and it was estimated that when the plague came, the people of Anyang City fled north again, which gave Anyang City a rare peace. Perhaps because of this, no one came to the lake, and the houses, shacks, and even the few wooden boats tethered to the pier were left intact and undamaged.

After inspecting it for a while, everything he saw made Qiu Chen's mood relaxed. Looking at the half-drooping dry lotus canopies in the remnants of the lake full of lotuses, Qiu Chen became interested, beckoned Qin Li to prop up the boat, and took Erkui with him to row into the remnant lotus bushes and pick half a boat of lotus canopies. That's when the fun returned.

Back in the city, Qiu Chen peeled lotus seeds. Although it was already the end of August, this year the lotus root was planted for the first year, and the planting was a little later, and the shell of the lotus pod and lotus seeds at this time became brown, but it was not too hard. The whole family mobilized, and it took an hour to finally peel the lotus seeds that Qiu Chen picked back, and remove the skin and lotus seed heart.

Naturally, lotus seeds were used for dinner, and Lin Xianniang also figured out the lotus seed cake with Wang, which has a sweet taste and a soft and glutinous taste, which is very good.

After cleaning up in the evening, early the next morning, Qiu Chen sent Erkui back to Liujiaao.

The epidemic has basically been eliminated, and it is time to bring Yang Shuyong and Lao He back. At this time, rush back, the water chestnut can still be harvested, the lotus seeds should be picked as soon as possible, and the lotus root should also be dug and sold as soon as possible...... With the output of these things, the hard work of the eldest brother and sister-in-law for a year is not in vain.

After sending away Erkui, Qiu Chen took a few people from the Chen family and Shunzi's family to Nannuma Lake again. Before Yang Shuyong and the others moved back, they had to help clean the house, dry the bedding, and regenerate the moisture of the house.

The work of cleaning the room did not need Qiu Chen's intervention, so she took Lin Xu, Qin Li and Zeng Da Niu to prop up two boats, and went into the lake to pick lotus pods, searching for water chestnuts that had not fallen, and there were not too many seeds......

After eating at noon, Qiu Chen remembered the water chestnuts planted on the shore of the lake, and brought people to dig with great interest with shovels.

Returning home at sunset, Qiu Chen divided the lotus seeds, the gourd and the water chestnuts into a few small baskets and sent someone to send them to the Nanhu side. As a result, without waiting for their dinner to be ready, Tang Wenyong went to the door with a smile, and Qin Zheng, whose expression barely changed, was naturally followed behind him.

Although this meal on the lake was light, Tang Wenyong was amazed, and after eating, he made an appointment with Qiu Chen, and went to Nanmar Lake with him on the second day, and said that he would bring a fishing net, and he caught fish on the lake to cook, and the taste was the most delicious.

Qiu Chen was very surprised, since these two people arrived, Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing were sent to coordinate the grain, rice and medicinal materials, and they were so busy that they didn't see anyone for many days, but these two people seemed to be very idle.

Unconsciously, Qiu Chen asked, "Aren't you busy with your official business?" ”

Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and drank tea, Tang Wenyong couldn't avoid it, and replied with a smile: "As long as we coordinate the overall situation, someone will naturally do the specific work!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded knowingly. Yes, it has been the case since ancient times, and those who are officials don't have to do everything themselves. She also heard a saying that the most important thing in being an official is to be able to use people, and only by knowing how to use people well can she do a good job. Instead of doing everything yourself, you will be tired to death, and you will not be able to finish your work, and you will naturally not be able to do it well.

After two lifetimes, Qiu Chen has no experience as a leader, so naturally he has no right to speak. Since these two people felt that there would be no obstacles, she didn't say much, smiled and agreed, and agreed with Tang Wenyong that the Chen family would meet outside the West City Gate.

Early in the morning of the second day, leaving the two members of the Shunzi family to look after the house, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu took the rest of the family to march towards Nanmarsh Lake again. This time, almost the whole family was mobilized, and even Lin Xianniang and the four mothers of the Erkui family also went out together.

The scenery of Nanmara Lake in autumn is extremely beautiful, and there is such an interesting thing as picking lotus seeds and digging water chestnuts, and it is an autumn trip to bring mountains and stones. And the Erkui family and Xiao October have been bored at home almost every day since they entered the city, and they took them to Nanmarsh Lake, which can be regarded as letting go of the wind, and they are lacklustre.

------Off topic------

I originally thought about uploading it at twelve o'clock, but I still couldn't finish it. Send these first, tomorrow morning two watch.
