By the middle of March, the children of the family had already gone to Beijing to take the exam, and even the second son, who was the most unsteady, was also driven by the second master to set off with the brothers, and it was good to go out for a long time.

In late spring and early summer, an unprecedented rainstorm struck suddenly, and it rained for three days and two nights before stopping, and the Luo River broke out in floods, washing away countless houses and crops along the river, and many people and livestock died in the flood, causing great harm to the people on both sides of the river.

Lu Shangshu, who had been building embankments on both sides of the river and surveying along the coast, was given a copy of the book and returned to Beijing to confess his guilt.

His departure was quite good, because a few days after he left, an epidemic broke out along the two sides of the strait, and he was infected, and nine out of ten could not be cured......

Soon, almost half of the people on both sides of the strait were infected with the epidemic, the light one could drag on for ten days and half a month, and the heavy one died in three or two days, and there was no chance of treatment.

The epidemic is menacing, the second master can't be suppressed at all, even the imperial court gave up, and sent people to block the intersection in and out of the two towns, everyone is only allowed to enter, not out, violators will be killed!

The second master saw that the epidemic was getting more and more fierce, and there were gradually signs that he couldn't control it, and he also pretended to be sick and hid back at home, staying at home, and left all the affairs of the county government to the master to take care of.

This epidemic was seen by Fang Fei in his previous life. But it was far less ferocious than this time, but Fang Geng happened to go out of the house for a while, and the imperial court gave up the people on both sides of the strait, since the Zhao family closed their homes, they cut off contact with Fang Geng, and they didn't know anything about the situation outside.

At this critical juncture, most of the large families were like this, hoarding enough food, and then closing the door, and the whole family went from master to servant. No one can step out of the door. But no matter what precautions are taken, there are still people in the hospital who are infected.

The epidemic spread so quickly that it is difficult to trace where it started in the first place. But those who are infected cannot stay at home. Otherwise. The entire Zhao family will be infected, and it will be a catastrophe at that time.

The epidemic is fierce, especially the elderly and children with weak crowns are most susceptible to infection. Therefore, the prevention of the ancestor's side is the top priority, but despite this, the ancestor still fell for the trick......

In the afternoon of the same day, I had a fever for some reason, the whole person had no strength, and I couldn't eat, and I was drowsy all day long......

Fang Fei relied on his memory, dispensed medicine from the pharmacy, personally boiled it and fed it to his ancestors, and stayed by her side day and night.

Let's not care about the love that the ancestor has always protected her, if the ancestor has three longs and two shorts, she will not want to leave the Zhao family in this life, and she will have to do her best to save the ancestor.

But just when she was busy treating the old ancestor, more and more people around the old ancestor were tricked, and they were infected one after another, which made the entire Zhao family shrouded in a layer of haze, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, Second Aunt Qian and Second Aunt Liu of the big house stood up and immediately made a decision to block Yining Hall to prevent anyone in the family from being infected.

Grandma Song had come to visit her ancestor during the period, although she had not yet become ill, but there was a danger of getting sick, and the second aunt simply asked people to block Tonghua Courtyard.

In order to avoid infection, the people in the second room directly built a wall with bricks on the road between the east and west courtyards, completely blocking the communication between the two courtyards.

The second aunt became the head of the house.

Although Fang Fei's body is weaker, he has not been infected, but the second aunt isolated Yiningtang and cut off contact with the outside world, and there are no medicinal materials, and the entire Yiningtang people are infected, and even if the people of Yiningtang do not come into contact with people outside, there are people outside who are infected with the plague one after another.

The second aunt saw that it was not a solution, so she was ruthless, and directly sent Yiningtang and the sick people in the family away, locked them in an abandoned small courtyard behind the cleaning nunnery, locked the gate, and left them to fend for themselves.

Even Fang Fei, who was not infected, was sent to the cleaning nunnery by them.

After sending away the sick at home, the second aunt ordered someone to sprinkle lime in Yining Hall, wipe it with liquor, and carry out a thorough disinfection, which completely controlled the epidemic at home.

"Zijin, you still have an idea, and you can solve the two big troubles at home in one fell swoop!" Qian smiled from ear to ear, praised Liu Zijin, and only used a handkerchief used by a patient outside, and solved the two most authoritative masters in the family at once.

Liu Zijin inadvertently swallowed the melon seeds and hummed: "It's a pity that I couldn't send the Song family in together......

In this family, Fang Fei and the ancestor she hadn't even met, it was the Qian family who wanted to deal with them, what she wanted to deal with was just Grandma Song who gave her the heaviest blow, but Grandma Song probably drank too much medicine a while ago, and she was stunned that she was not infected......

If she is sent in, there are so many people in the family, they can't be sent in together, Zhao Rongzhao will come back in the future, she can't explain to him, and besides, Zhao Rongzhao has a deep affection for his mother, if he knows the truth, he probably won't forgive himself in this life.

"Why don't we use that 'handkerchief' again?" Qian saw that she was worried, so he built a yì road.

The handkerchief was bought by the Qian family from the hands of the infected person at a great cost, although it played a big role, but the danger was too great, and the people in the outer courtyard were infected a lot, and they almost couldn't control it, if they did it again, they might not have the same good luck as the last time.

Liu Zijin squinted at her and said disdainfully: "Last time, it was a dangerous move, and again, do you want the entire Zhao family to get in?" ”

The second aunt didn't dare to speak, how bad this disease was. She didn't know before, but after this time, she saw it, and she didn't dare to use this trick to deal with Grandma Song again, but she was unwilling to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she asked Liu Zijin tentatively, "Zijin, then there is no other way?" We've all come this far, you can't be soft-hearted. ”

Liu Zijin glanced at her, snorted, and said coldly: "I hate the Song family more than you." If it weren't for her behind her back, she would have given Lu Siqi a move. A strong separation between me and Rong Zhao, and we will come to this point today. ”

Qian saw that she was not cheating, and knew that she would not be able to move Grandma Song for a while, so he said, "Okay." You're tired today, too. Go back and get some rest. Rong Zhao won't be able to come back for a while, we have time, so let's let her jump for a few days first. ”

Although Fang Fei and the old ancestor sent it away. Grandma Song was also sealed in Tonghua Courtyard and couldn't get out, but there was a strong and healthy second girl in charge of housework at home, and the second aunt wanted to meddle in housework for a while, which was basically impossible, and the old people in the family were all standing on the side of the ancestors, and now that the ancestors and Fang Fei were sent away, everyone naturally leaned on the side of the second girl.

No matter what the second girl says, it is also the blood of the Zhao family, but the second aunt is just a concubine, even if Grandma Song has passed away, she is also the new master mother who has entered the door.

Coming out of Yining Hall, the only thing Fang Fei took away was the little herb left, there were too many infected people in Yining Hall, she could only guarantee to hang the life of her ancestor, hoping to drag it until Fang Geng came back, and when the time came, the medicinal materials that the Fang family had been preparing since last year would come in handy.

But after all, the old ancestor is a dying person, even if there are herbs, the body can't withstand the toss, and they also met the old man in the cleaning nunnery: the four girls.

At the beginning, Grandma Song relented for a while, and took a lot of silver to dot the four girls, mother and daughter, and now her status in this nunnery is similar to the Bodhisattva enshrined on the altar, and the entire clean nunnery is her person up and down.

The second aunt and the third aunt have always been good friends, and now, after Fang Fei and his party were driven to the abandoned courtyard behind the cleaning nunnery, the second aunt sent someone to pick up the third aunt and the fourth girl, mother and daughter, but the fourth girl heard that the old ancestor and Fang Fei were sent to the abandoned courtyard behind the nunnery, so she refused to leave and had to stay.

The third aunt thought that there was a plague outside now, and the nunnery was a quiet place, the rice and grain were bought once a month, and the vegetables were all grown by the people in the nunnery, and outsiders could not enter, but it was a good place to avoid the epidemic, so she listened to the words of the fourth girl, and planned to live for a while, and it was not too late to go out when the plague passed.

The reason why the four girls want to stay is not to be quiet, but to take revenge, now the two people she hates the most in this family have come here, how can she leave lightly!

Now that Fang Fei and the old ancestor and others are all sick, she doesn't need to do anything more, just quietly watch them fend for themselves. She thought that the first person to fall would be the old ancestor, but she didn't expect that the people who were locked up in the entire courtyard together would die one after another, but Fang Fei and the old ancestor were still alive tenaciously.

The Zhao family who sent people over explained that these people were all infected with the plague, and if one died, one would be burned until all of them died, and even the yard would be burned down to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Fang Fei relied on the few herbs left, and kept hanging on to the old ancestor's breath, until the people in the entire courtyard died one after another, she felt a sense of powerlessness for life for the first time, it was a sense of powerlessness on the verge of despair, no matter how strong she was, it could be destroyed......

The four girls wanted to take revenge on her, and strictly forbade the people in the nunnery to drag the dead out and burn them, so they let their bodies be placed in the courtyard, and when the last herbs were used up, only Fang Fei and the old ancestor were left, and the four girls who were covered with only one pair of eyes came to the courtyard.

The vitality of the old ancestor is really strong, and in this yard full of stench, it seems that he has returned to the light, and he actually opened his eyes.

The fourth girl didn't have the joy when she saw her relatives, and said coldly: "Old sadistic woman, you are arbitrary, and you have been beautiful all your life, have you ever thought that you would end up like this?" ”

The old ancestor barely had a trace of breath, his whole body leaned on Fang Fei, and he snorted heavily, his demeanor and tone were still full of majesty, and he was not afraid at all, and said: "I am already a dying person, I have experienced storms and waves in this life, I have seen all the prosperity, and I have also experienced vicissitudes, this life is worth it, and you?" Do you think you can find a good in-law after you go out? ”

The fourth girl pondered it carefully, and couldn't find a rebuttal, her reputation has been completely ruined, and people with a slightly better family background will inquire about the woman's deeds before marrying a wife, as long as there is a stain, don't want to marry a good family.

"What do you want to say, old woman?" The fourth girl understood the words of the ancestor, but she didn't know what idea she had behind her back.

"Go and call your mother to me, I have something to say to her, and when I have finished speaking, I will correct your name myself." After all, he was seriously ill, and before he could say a few words, he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Fang Fei held the ancestor's cold hand tightly, a pair of clear apricot eyes stared at the ancestor for a moment, biting his lower lip all the time, and didn't say a word.

Although the old ancestor was sick, her sanity was always clear, and she also knew that she would die at any time, but she never mentioned the original agreement with herself, Fang Fei was faintly aware of what she had in mind, but now that the old ancestor was seriously ill and dying, how could she bear to ask her?

"My mother?" The fourth girl frowned and hesitated, "Are you talking about Grandma Song?" ”

The old ancestor nodded reluctantly, and said: "It's her, if you call her, I will correct your name, if I can survive this hurdle, I can also arrange the marriage for you in person, if I am not there, there is Fang Fei." ”

Up to now, the ancestor thinks that the mastermind behind this qiē is Grandma Song, so he will say this to the four girls, the four girls don't have enough brains, and it's easy to take the bait, but unexpectedly, the four girls laughed and said disdainfully: "Old sadistic woman, you are really old, and you can't even use your brain, your good granddaughter-in-law is now locked up in Tonghua Courtyard, and she can't even go out of the door of her room, and you still expect her to come to see you?" It's a dream. ”

"Old abusive woman, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, this time you are planted on the aunt you look down on the most in your life, one is Aunt Qian, and the other is Aunt Liu who you don't even disdain to see! I didn't expect it, haha! The four girls seemed to have discovered something new and happy, and they couldn't stand up with a straight smile.

The old ancestor was stunned for a moment, Fang Fei obviously felt that her body leaning on her body trembled slightly, the last thing she paid attention to in her life was the group of concubines who could not be on the table and were only used for inheritance, but unexpectedly, in the end, it was planted in their hands!

Especially Liu Zijin still agreed to enter the door, but she never took it to heart, and she never even met in person, but she was planted in the hands of her and Qian. (To be continued......)
