Everything is slowly recovering, and the old gentleman begins to divination. The original ten numbers in the morning have been changed to six numbers, and the hexagram gold has doubled compared with the original lowest price, and there is no upper limit. The daily number is still full. There was also incense in the temple. After the disaster, people need a spiritual place to calm their sorrows and pray for a new life.

Dalong and Yuan Ming guarded the old gentleman every day, and the old gentleman watched from the side when he was divining, and the old gentleman sometimes mentioned them a few words. In the afternoon, let them learn (Yuanhai Ziping) first, and the old gentleman said: "Divination and fortune-telling are all one, and divination should also be combined with four pillars and eight characters." So learn the basics first. The basic requirements are firmly remembered and familiar with the heart. Every day, Zhuang Xiaochu heard that the two children were in the Tiangan Six Gods Main Star Chart every day Xing Chong penetrated the Sanhe Branch, and he was glad that he didn't keep up with the old man, or now he felt that he was back to his student days.

Xiao Qi's body also got better. When the pressure in my heart is less, the disease will naturally heal quickly. The food in the small kitchen has also improved, and the nutrition can keep up.

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "It's really not the right time for our little flower shadow to come, and now that you come, it is estimated that you can't stand so much suffering." ”

Xiao Qi said: "You dislike Little Flower Shadow?"

"No, no. I just feel a little indebted to you two mothers. Some time ago, it was so difficult in the village, I patronized the affairs of the village every day, and I didn't take good care of you. ”

Xiaohuaying loves to laugh very much, and when she smiles, her big eyes bend into crescents, and when she looks at it twice, Zhuang Xiaochu feels that all her troubles have disappeared.

The shops on the street slowly opened, and some merchants began to come and go. The 14 teams of beggars in Huazizhuang began to beg in small groups of two, and slowly began to make some progress again. Occasionally, people with red and white affairs also come to greet the red and white beggars to help the fun. Zhuang Xiaochu's pressure was much less, and he could finally sleep steadily.

At the regular meeting, everyone summed up the lessons of the locust plague in Xiahuazizhuang this time.

The lame man Li said: "In the future, we must prepare more food in the village to prevent natural and man-made disasters." ”

Zhu Laosi said: "In the future, I will be more concerned about the money in the village and save more money." ”

Brother Sun of the branch and Lao Lu of the village said: "We have to lead the big guys to earn more income, in addition to the reward money we get on the street, we have to find another way to earn more." For example, when the farm is busy, some of the brothers are sent to work on the farm, etc."

In the end, everyone discussed and decided to take a dozen brothers to the farm to build a few more warehouses after a while, and the warehouses were built as solid as gold. The grain from the farm is not sold in the future, but is harvested and put into storage, and when the new grain comes in the next year, the old grain in the warehouse is taken out and sold. The price of old grain is half lower than that of new grain, but this can prevent unforeseen needs, and the difference in prices will not be taken into account.

The lotus sister-in-law who is in charge of the kitchen also made a suggestion one day, put up a large piece of land next to the bolted horse on the back mountain, build a pigsty, and the soup and water in the kitchen are not wasted, and then buy some chicks and put them in the back mountain to make some chicken nests, so that chickens, eggs and pigs do not have to be bought in the future, and a sum of silver can be saved. The owner felt that it was feasible, so he arranged for someone to build the pigsty and chicken coop first.

I thought that this locust plague was over, but I didn't expect that a bigger crisis would come again.

The brothers who were begging on the street came back and said that many merchants from other places went to Yancheng instead of buying goods. I came to live in Yancheng. Inns and hotels are overcrowded. They say that an epidemic has started in many places in the field now. People don't know what's wrong, they start to have a fever all over their bodies, panting, the fever can't go down, they can't breathe, and they die. This disease has a rapid onset, rapid onset, and is still very contagious. Often one person in one place gets sick, and that large number of people falls. Those who are physically strong can still survive, and those who are physically weak will not be cured. As soon as Zhuang Xiaochu heard it, he knew that it was bad, this was a plague. In some places, people who starve to death are not buried on the spot, and the corpses are decomposed, and viruses and bacteria begin to spread, and these viruses and bacteria are particularly easy to infect people, and once people are infected, it is difficult to treat. Fortunately, I know it in time now.

Zhuang Xiaochu immediately gathered the beggars, and he briefly introduced the situation of the plague. Then he said: "The plague is very terrible, once it is infected, it is not good that our entire Huazizhuang will be wiped out." We need to act now and unite as one to survive this disaster. ”

Zhuang Xiaochu arranged for Lao Lu: "You immediately take a few people to inform the brothers on the street, and let the brothers all withdraw." The brothers who had withdrawn were all at home and could not move around at will. Shut down the branch and let Brother Sun tell the county magistrate that the plague is coming, take precautions. ”

Zhuang Xiaochu arranged for the lame Li: "You go to the warehouse to check, there is that kind of light and thin fabric, take it all out, I can use it." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu arranged for a large husband: "You take the two brothers to buy a few barrels of vinegar on the street, and then go to Yang Ji Pharmacy to buy some medicine to treat the plague." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu told Zhu Laosi: "You go and clean up all the burners in the temple, close the small temple, and lock the temple door." ”

Zhuang Xiaochu arranged Dacheng: "You take the people of the martial arts team to guard the gate of the temple, let the brothers who come back from the street wash their hands and faces, and then go back to the village, the used water must be splashed far away, don't let the dirty water flow back into the spring." ”

The fabric was found, and there were thin cotton cloth, ramie material, and Luo Yun yarn. Zhuang Xiaochu asked Xiao Qi and the female red team to cut the cloth into small square pieces, and then sew three different pieces of fabric together, sewing a thin strap on the four corners, he said, this is a mask, wearing it can prevent droplet infection.

found two brothers, put on masks, rode fast horses, and asked them to go to Meishan to report half a catty and eight taels. Let them take precautions and tell them how to do it.

The big man is back, and the vinegar is bought. Several large barrels. But the medicine was not available. The plague to prevent the plague has long been gone, and there are many medicines on the prescriptions I prescribe, and I have not caught them. The big man said: "The guy at Yang Ji Pharmacy said that a batch of honeysuckle will be put into the warehouse in two days, and honeysuckle is a good medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, so I will go back in two days and buy more back." "Honeysuckle, Zhuang Xiaochu is no stranger, when he was at home, he caught a cold and drank honeysuckle oral liquid. "Well, buy more, come back and boil water for the brothers to drink, cure the disease, and prevent the disease. ”

After the vinegar was mixed with water, the brothers were asked to wear masks, and every house and every corner of the village were sprayed carefully, and the whole Huazizhuang was shrouded in a thick vinegar fragrance.
