Chapter 32 The Epidemic in the Green Forest
"We're doing it for the people." Lin Aqi said, "You don't have to think about what you have and don't have, you can see the old lady and go up directly to say hello, and say everything your mother told you to say, and there will be nothing for you." ”
Jiang Feng pondered carefully: "That being said, if you really see someone, how can you repay this favor?" ”
Yun Qi supported his cheek with one hand, silently looking at the two of them, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked slightly.
"What favor? Since the grandmother of this family is kind to your grandmother, then your family will definitely not treat him badly, right? Maybe the Zheng family has today's glory or dragged the old lady's blessing. ”
Jiang Feng slapped the table: "Yes!" ”
Yun raised his eyebrows: "What do you remember?" ”
Jiang Feng's thoughts drifted away, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes: "Back then, my mother said that my grandmother went out to worship the Buddha on the mountain, and the road was dangerous, but she was rescued by the old lady of the Zheng family who was passing by, so the two became close friends, and soon after, the eldest son of the old lady Zheng, that is, Zheng Ping, was promoted. ”
Lin Aqi smiled: "Is that really the case? ”
"That's right! I still remember that Mrs. Zheng came to Beijing to reminisce about the old days, and was grateful to my mother, who sent the fields and shops, and arranged important positions for the children and grandchildren in the family, and also aroused my envy, she didn't treat me so well. ”
Lin Aqi propped his chin and looked at him: "This is strange, how can your mother treat you without kissing?" ”
Yunqi couldn't hold back: "He is not happy that he is the king of Xiaofeng County, let his aunt go to the emperor and say that please make him great, not to mention whether the king of Dafeng County can agree, his aunt alone will beat him for three days." ”
"Poof-" Lin Archie couldn't help laughing, "Who is this King of the Gale Counties?" ”
Jiang Feng frowned, aggrieved: "My brother." ”
Jiang Feng and his brother Jiang Qing are twins, and his brother has pressed him for many years by virtue of his birth advantage, and he is actually older than him in the matter of being sealed, and he has been angry with him for more than half a year.
This is naturally indispensable to Lin Aqi's ridicule, Jiang Feng lost face, and said angrily: "You know how to bully me, I will ignore you, I'll leave!" ”
Lin Aqi hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't, where are you going?" Let's go with you! ”
Jiang Feng glanced at her coldly: "I'll go see Old Madam Zheng." ”
Mrs. Zheng is now staying in a grange, and the grange will soon be handed over to the state treasury, and this is the last day they can stay here.
Jiang Feng carried the gift and knocked on the door anxiously: "Is Mrs. Zheng here?" ”
Soon, an old lady with gray hair but a full face and a natural rosy cheek came out to open the door.
Jiang Feng recognized her at a glance: "Old Lady Zheng! ”
Lin Aqi looked over curiously, instead of looking painful and sad, the old lady was in good spirits as if she had won the pot throwing prize-
It's really open!
The old man came to open the door in person, and it can be seen that there is indeed no one to call in the house.
Old Madam Zheng obviously recognized Jiang Feng as well: "Ouch! You're the King of Xiaofeng County, why are you here in person? Come on in......"
The old man beckoned the three of them into the house.
The yard was clean, and the yellow leaves were swept away in one place and piled up under the big trees, which were counted as nutrients.
Entering the back room, there are only simple tables and chairs in the small hall, and there are no extra things, but it is somewhat similar to Lin Archie's house.
Lin Aqi was slightly distracted, and suddenly heard Jiang Feng's introduction: "Both of them are my friends. ”
Lin Archie returned the old lady with a lovely smile.
The old lady smiled, brought them fruit snacks, and poured tea: "Okay, come and eat, your grandmother is okay?" ”
Jiang Feng took the tea: "It's all good." ”
"It's all good, alas, you know all these things at home, and my old wife also bothered the princess."
Jiang Feng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no!" Mother said that you are all right, and that is the most reassuring thing for her and her grandmother. ”
Old Madam Zheng nodded.
Jiang Feng hesitated for a while: "Old lady, we are about to return to Beijing, or you will join us, we will definitely be able to settle you in the capital, so that you can enjoy your old age in peace." ”
Lin Aqi held the snack and nibbled on it: "Yes, yes, madam, you can also chat with his grandmother when you go, and it is good for the two of you to spend their old age together." ”
Yunqi thought about it, and this idea was good: "It's the old lady, you saved Mrs. An Zhong, and according to the law, you can be rewarded." ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she hurriedly refused: "Don't, don't!" I'm not a wife and I'm not uncommon with those false names, and I've been very satisfied with my birthday after so many years. ”
She paused: "Speaking of which, my son is still guilty, how can I go alone?" ”
Zheng Ping was indeed unable to enter Beijing.
"In that case, I will definitely go back to Beijing to return to my mother and ask her to make a decision again."
Mrs. Zheng is very open-minded and open-minded: "Okay, I just hope that she doesn't have to worry, you should be careful on the way back." ”
She remembered something: "Two days ago, I heard people who returned to their hometowns say that there was an epidemic in Lanzhou Mansion, and you have to pass by there when you return to Beijing, so if you can't do it, you will take a detour to Xuzhou Mansion." ”
"Epidemic?" The three of them spoke in unison.
"How did the epidemic happen?" Yun Qi frowned.
"Yes, old lady, can you elaborate on that?" Lin Aqi stopped nibbling on dim sum, remembering what Master had taught him, "I haven't heard of disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons in Lanzhou Prefecture, how can there be epidemics?" ”
You must know that a small epidemic can cause thousands of people to be destroyed, and even worse, it is possible to wipe out the family and the township.
A medium-sized township contains more than a dozen villages and towns, while a state capital covers dozens of townships.
When the epidemic broke out in Lanzhou Prefecture, how could the news be revealed only two days ago?
The old lady sighed: "Speaking of which, I am also worried, my third daughter is married to Qinglin Township under Lanzhou Mansion, and there is a guy in the family who started with her, a few days ago it was said that his old mother in the family died of illness, and he only mentioned the epidemic or something, and I didn't say anything more when I asked." ”
Yunqi asked, "Did the lady send a letter to the third girl to say hello?" Or did she reply to say she was safe? ”
The old lady shook her head again and again: "My third daughter is a poor life, the marriage in the early years was given by her patriarchal grandmother, and she married so far away, she resented in her heart, and she had no connection with the family for a long time." If I don't worry about the day after tomorrow, I'm just worried about my life......"
The old man's mood was also low at this moment.
Lin Aqi patted the old man's hand: "Grandma, you can rest assured, if we really want to pass by Lanzhou Mansion, we can definitely ask your third girl Ann by the way, and if you can, I can bring you a letter." ”
The old lady's eyes were misty, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Jiang Feng was also busy saying: "Me! Me can too! If the epidemic is really serious there, I can come back again and send your third daughter back. ”
Lin Aqi glanced at him: "Since she is married there, how can there be any reason for you to take it away by a strange man?" ”
This made the old man laugh: "Okay, well, I will be relieved to have your words, but if it is really serious, you should not be in danger." ”
Lanzhou Mansion is still a long way from Cone Township, and it is inevitable that the news will spread slowly.
Yunqi remembered a little: "Where is that guy now?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Old lady, we can make him think again and give us some information. Jiang Feng's eyes widened.
"That guy lives in the thatched house at the back of the Grange, I'll just call him."
Jiang Feng held her: "Old lady, don't worry about it, we'll go over in two steps." ”
The old man didn't shirk it any more, but told them to tell her when they were going to leave, so that she could prepare some dry food for them.
The old lady has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son and the second son have long had a quarrel because of the scandal, and now Zheng Chu is about to be beheaded to show the public, and the second son doesn't know how happy he is.
The youngest daughter was almost cut off from the family, not to mention.
Now she can only rely on her eldest son to eat, what else can she talk about enjoying her old age?
If you can delay the blessing of the noble, it is enough to know that your daughter is well.
The three of them ran to the thatched hut in a hurry, and when they called for the door, no one responded inside.
So I had to sit on the thatched pile in front of the house and wait.
"It's noon, he should be on his way to the market, and he's coming back soon." Lin Archie played with straw animals and said casually.
"I can't imagine that you have so many ways in one girl." Yunqi smiled and learned from her to pull the grass and play.
Jiang Feng, who was sullen on the side, didn't have the heart to play with grass: "If there is a real outbreak of the epidemic, it won't kill many people like sixty years ago, right?" ”
The catastrophe 60 years ago became a heavy pain in the heart of the Great Cloud Country.
An earthquake caused countless aftershocks of all sizes and sizes, and in the northern part of Yungu Country, all the state capitals sensed the earthquake, which was an unprecedented earthquake, killing countless people, and the economy of Yungu Country was also hit the biggest blow ever.
To this day, there are still many places that are no man's land, because there are still many ruined areas that no one can deal with.
The earthquake caused unrest among the people, and many people died before they could get medical attention.
The corpses were piled up, and no one buried them in time, and the ensuing epidemic covered most of the Yungu country.
People never imagined that the earthquake was not the most terrible fatal factor, but the most unpreventable thing was the epidemic.
Therefore, when I heard the old lady say that there might be an epidemic in Lanzhou Prefecture, the people were most worried.
As a powerful person, Yunqi is naturally also worried about the people: "The epidemic must not be allowed to spread." When there is such a thing as the epidemic, the people will not spread rumors, and the government will not let it go. ”
Lin Aqi rarely pinched his heart: "So, is it really possible?" ”
Time is like a knife hanging over the heads of the three of them, and when the guy comes back a minute late, the sense of tension and oppression hangs a little lower.
Half an hour later, the sound of squirming footsteps finally came from behind the three of them.
The man ran as fast as he could, as if he had been chased, and came to the thatched hut panting for breath.
He didn't know whether his cheeks were sunburned or run, his whole body was crimson, his forehead was still dripping with sweat, and he was panting and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Lin Archie threw the weeds: "We're here to play." ”
The guy's name was Zhong Jiu, and he smiled honestly and generously invited them into the house to rest.
Zhong Jiu poured water for the three of them, and Lin Aqi directly said his meaning: "I heard the old lady say, you just came back from Qinglin Township in Lanzhou Mansion?" ”
Zhong Jiu poured water, and the water almost poured onto Jiang Feng's crotch.
Jiang Feng:?
