A few days later, Zhou went to visit Hui Niang at the pharmacy, but his face was ugly when he came back.

Shen Xi thought that the old lady was going to blame him for pricking Hui Niang with a needle, but Zhou just sighed melancholy and said, "Your aunt may have been infected with the plague, so let's not go over these two days." ”

Shen Xi knew that Hui Niang was not really infected with smallpox, but that the cowpox he planted had an effect.

Because Shen Xi has a deep understanding of the toxicity of herpes on sick cows, he believes that even if Hui Niang is a female streamer and her body is weaker, she can almost be cured within a few days after the pox.

Without the process of groping, his pox can also get twice the result with half the effort.

For example, Shen Xi also gave the old lady a needle, maybe the old lady is used to doing farm work on weekdays, and the relationship between the rough skin and thick flesh has not reacted at all except for some dizziness in the past few days.

Even Zhou thought that he had eaten something bad, and he didn't suspect anything else at all.

Shen Xi also gave himself pox, and he was very unwell in the past few days, but he knew that this was a process that had to be experienced, and even if he had a slight fever, he didn't tell Zhou about it. As for Lin Dai's side, Lin Dai didn't like to go out, and she couldn't talk about being infected, so Shen Xi simply didn't stick a needle on Lin Dai.

The news of Hui Niang's illness soon spread all over the neighborhood, and the neighbors originally talked about Hui Niang's dispute with the Lu family, but now seeing Hui Niang's illness, not only did they not pity her, but even many long-tongued women said behind their backs that she was to blame and was punished by her dead husband.

Hui Niang was sick and had to close the pharmacy.

Because she was afraid that her illness would infect her daughter, she temporarily sent her daughter to the Shen family, and Hui Niang locked herself in the room and was ready to die.

Shen Xi took the initiative to ask for help and delivered food to Hui Niang every day. At first, Zhou disagreed, but Shen Xi repeatedly assured that he would come back after delivering the food to the door, and Zhou reluctantly agreed. Shen Xi's main purpose was to peek at Hui Niang's reaction through the crack in the door, he was afraid that Hui Niang, who had no love, would not think of doing something stupid.

"I hope that the younger sister of the Sun family, Jiren, will have a natural appearance, but those who have had this disease will have their appearance ruined in the future. Alas, a woman with a good life. ”

Zhou can't do anything else, he prays for Hui Niang at home every day, but in fact, it is useless.

Shen Xi sent the meal to Hui Niang in front of the house that day, and when he saw Hui Niang talking to himself with scissors, he was so frightened that he quickly pushed open the door and rushed in, but Hui Niang, who turned his head to look at him, was startled.

"Xiaolang, why did you come in?"

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi who was panting in surprise.

"I ...... I'm afraid that you can't think about something, aunt. Well, my aunt's illness seems to be getting better. ”

Hui Niang was sitting there, embroidering, and it turned out that she had just used scissors to cut the silk thread.

"Is there one?"

Hui Niang touched her face, and sure enough, the small blisters on her face had receded, and she was afraid that even if she was sick in the future, she would leave pockmarks on her face, so she didn't dare to look at the bronze mirror in the past few days.

Shen Xi immediately ran out of the door and went home to inform Zhou of the good news, and not long after, Zhou was pulled in from the backyard by Shen Xi, and Zhou scolded himself: "Stinky boy, what nonsense ......"

When he saw Hui Niang's flawless appearance inside, Zhou was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

At the beginning, when Hui Niang got sick, she had herpes on her face and red spots on her body, she saw it really, and now Hui Niang still has a little hint of illness?

"Sister, how are you? Oh, it's really a bodhisattva manifestation, let my sister take a look. Zhou took Hui Niang's hand and sat down, and even asked Hui Niang to roll up her sleeves and see, sure enough, there was no sign of illness.

Hui Niang looked puzzled: "It's really strange, at first I did have small blisters on my body, exactly like the plague, but then the blisters subsided somehow, and the red spots disappeared." ”

Zhou sighed with emotion: "That's my sister, you have done a lot of good things on weekdays, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and my sister's father-in-law should also protect you...... However, this thing is really unusual, there has never been a good smallpox but no pockmarked ......"

Zhou said and inadvertently glanced at Hui Niang's arm, and found that Hui Niang's pink arm obviously had a red scar, which was the only red spot on her body that had not faded, but it had scabbed over and was fine.

"Sister, what's going on with you here?"

Zhou looked at the scar on Hui Niang's arm with some concern.

Hui Niang suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Xi who was standing at the door and was looking at her with a smile, and said: "That was a few days ago, I was not infected at that time, Xiaolang came in from the backyard, pricked me with a needle for no reason, and it was stuck here, I don't know what happened." ”

Zhou slapped his head and immediately rolled up his sleeves...... She remembered that her arm had inexplicably had a similar-looking wound in the past two days.

"I said why I was dizzy all the time in the past two days, and I wanted to vomit, thinking that I was going to give birth to a younger brother to Xiaolang, but it turned out that this kid was making trouble...... Dare to take a needle to prick the old lady, come here, and explain the matter, what is going on? Zhou said that he was going to pull Shen Xi's ears.

Shen Xi had already taken precautions, and ran into the yard with a smoke.

"Mother, don't hit people at every turn. My son is also helping you avoid the plague, and the child wants to find a sick cow and you don't let me, for fear that my mother will blame me, so I have to hide it from my mother. ”

Zhou didn't care if he was in someone else's house, he picked up the broom next to the back door and was about to hit Shen Xi, scolding in his mouth: "Okay, you stinky boy with no heart and no lungs, others are afraid to avoid the plague, you might as well bring the illness home, but you want our Shen family to be out of the house?" ”

Shen Xi hurriedly dodged away, and at this time, Hui Niang persuaded while blocking it: "Sister, don't be angry first, I think Xiaolang's method is quite clever." The old man left a message, if the serious illness and catastrophe survive, it will be safe from all diseases in the future. Sister, don't you think we're all right? ”

Zhou was so angry that she crossed her waist and glared at Shen Xi, no matter what, she would not easily forgive Shen Xi for sticking needles and planting cowpox behind her back.

Hui Niang said again: "My sister hasn't opened a shop for a few days, and now that it's good, my sister might as well help open a shop together...... Xiaolang, you still don't admit your mother's mistakes? ”

Only then did Shen Xi go up to salute and admit his mistake, and Zhou was pulled by Hui Niang, pointing at Shen Xi's nose and scolding: "You stinky boy, I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

The pharmacy, which had not been in operation for several days, finally reopened on the fourth day of September.

Although the epidemic has not spread on a large scale in the city these days, people are infected from time to time, and the residents of the city rarely take the initiative to walk on the streets except for the busy work for their livelihoods. After all, this is a county seat, no more than a village, and every household does not have enough grain in stock, so they need to rely on rice shops and vegetable markets to live.

Hui Niang's pharmacy reopened, and many people came to grab medicine on the same day, because of the epidemic, the price of medicinal materials around Tingzhou Mansion has risen wildly, but the price of medicinal materials in Hui Niang's pharmacy has remained the same.

According to Hui Niang, she used how much money she used to bring in the medicinal materials, and she sold them for a little money, and she didn't want to pit the neighbors.

Zhou helped for a while, and when he was free, Zhou sighed: "Sister don't be too sincere, when you compete with the Lu family for this shop, even if it is a villager, who will help you speak?" Now that the price of medicinal materials in the city has more than doubled, only you are still maintaining the original price, and I am afraid that the medicinal materials will be sold out in a few days. ”

Sun Huiniang smiled and said, "There are still a lot of medicinal materials in the backyard, all of which were left by Xi'er's father, and they should be able to support some time." Let's talk about it when it's sold out. ”
