Chapter 28: The Epidemic (3)

After Zhou He turned a corner, he confirmed that the old man did not find out that he was leaving, and couldn't help leaning against the wall, holding his beating heart, panting, and at the same time admonishing himself in his heart: "Zhou He, Zhou He, you don't have to be so lively in the future, now it's not as good as before, if the lady is caught by these evil servants, see what you will do then." ”

After resting for a while, barely calming down, Zhou He got up and walked towards the grain store again, since the outbreak of the plague in Zhuo County, not only have there been fewer pedestrians on the street, but they have all hid in their homes, closed the doors and windows, hoping to let the so-called plague god let him go; And the shops are almost closed one by one, so the streets look extremely depressed.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and the Zhao family's grain shop is still open, which is also the destination of Zhou He's trip.

When he was about to arrive at the Zhao family's grain shop, Zhou He was surprised to find that many people who were carrying food with an angry face suddenly had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

Because of this ominous trend, Zhou He quickened his pace, and soon a shop with the sign of "Zhao Family Grain and Oil" came into Zhou He's eyes, and at the door of the store stood a young man who was in a flow of air, yawning, and looking at the passers-by with slanted eyes.

This young man, Zhou He is known, he is the nephew of the Zhao Mansion Steward Zhao, called Zhao Si, he is a ruffian, if Zhou He had been hiding far away in the past, but today he has to squeeze out a smile to greet him, "Brother Zhao, you are here." ”

Zhao Si squinted his eyes and looked Zhou He up and down, and snorted with his nose, "Hmm", which can be regarded as a greeting.

Seeing that Zhao Si responded, Zhou He hurriedly took out a string of money from his arms that was warm for his body temperature, and handed it to Zhao Si with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you order." ”

Zhao Si checked the string of money in his hand, "Well, almost, you go inside and get two buckets of su." ”

"Erdousu." Zhou He was stunned, "Brother Zhao, this is one hundred and twenty yuan." ”

Zhao Si waved his hand impatiently: "What time is the old yellow calendar for you, and now it has risen by one hundred yuan, and the corn is five hundred yuan a stone." ”

"But isn't it just rising?" Zhou He couldn't help but say.

"Love to buy or not, don't buy and fuck off, don't stand at the door of the store and disturb the master's business, and don't look at what time it is?" Zhao Si's face was defiant and disdainful.

"Oh, oh, I'll buy I'll buy." Zhou He was ridiculed by Zhao Si like this, his body suddenly softened, and after a few words, he walked to the store, but his heart was infinitely sad, the price of grain has risen again, how can the Zhao family who killed a thousand knives be so vicious.

But after walking a few steps, Zhou He stopped, no, this five hundred dollars is a stone, one stone is ten buckets, he gave one hundred and twenty dollars, bought two buckets, then there are twenty more dollars, no, Zhou He turned around and walked towards Zhao Si again, for the current Zhou He, every piece of money is precious.

"Why are you here again?"

"Brother Zhao, I bought two buckets here, didn't I have twenty dollars left." Zhou He rubbed his hands, looking cautious.

"Yo-" Zhao Si stretched out his voice and said angrily: "Affection for you Brother Zhao, this is busy for you, you don't give any benefit." ”

"However, Brother Zhao ......" Zhou He also tried to die and struggle.

"There's nothing to do." Zhao Si obviously didn't want to give Zhou He this opportunity, so he rudely interrupted Zhou He.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Si seemed to remember something, his eyebrows were as funny as silkworms, his two obscene eyes rolled for a moment, and he said to Zhou He: "Zhou He, come here." ”

Although Zhou He didn't know why Zhao Si suddenly changed his attitude, the nature of the person who fell into the water made him anxious to grasp everything that floated on the water.

When Zhou He came to him, Zhao Si smiled, "Zhou He, it's not like I can't give you this money." ”

"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhao Si glared back at Zhou He's involuntarily outstretched hand.

"Brother Zhao, didn't you say you were going to return the twenty dollars to me?" Zhou He was glared at by Zhao Si like this, and he was a little aggrieved.

"Then you're too anxious, I haven't finished saying this yet." Saying that, Zhao Si put his arm on Zhou He's shoulder, and continued to smile and say: "I have a good errand here, as long as Brother Zhou is willing to respond, then not to mention the twenty yuan, even the money to buy rice today will be paid by my brother." ”

"Then dare to ask Brother Zhao, what kind of errand is it?" Zhou He had a feeling of pie falling from the sky, but the person who smashed him with a pie in the sky made Zhou He feel that it was an illusion again.

"This matter is also very simple, that is, the little lady of Brother Zhou's family is quite attractive, and the dissatisfied brother said, I can see it very tightly. If Brother Zhou is willing to let you Brother Zhao and me, hehehehe......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Si couldn't help but laugh obscenely, but Zhao Si didn't laugh a few times, but screamed like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and then covered his eyes and looked at Zhou He in disbelief: "The surname Zhou, you dare to hit me?" ”

Zhou He didn't speak, but the cheeks that were red from anger showed Zhou He's inner unpeace, and there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, Zhou He knew that it was a sign that the lackeys of the Zhao family who were resting in the grain shop were out of the cage, thinking of this, Zhou He simply didn't do anything and rushed towards Zhao Si again.

"Surnamed Zhou, what do you want to do? I'm from the Zhao family, ah! Ah~ah! ”

Zhou He shook his mouth, took the string of five baht coins he snatched from Zhao Si's arms, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he strode out, and the Zhao family's dog was almost there.

"Ah~ah, my hands, my hands." Zhao Si howled miserably at his right hand.

At this time, the Zhao family's family members also walked out of the house, looking at Zhao Si's miserable situation, one of the middle-aged strong men who looked like a leader hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you, who is so poisonous-"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged strong man subconsciously glanced at Zhao Si, and hurriedly changed the word: "It's so poisonous." ”

Zhao Si stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Chase, chase me!" ”

Looking at the empty street, the middle-aged strong man turned his head to look at Zhao Si again.

Zhao Si obviously also found out, trembling with anger, and said viciously in his heart: "The surname is Zhou, you can't run, but I know where your home is, wait for me to rest for one night, and tomorrow I will avenge today's revenge, and then that little lady will ......"

……

Zhou He didn't know how many circles he had made and how many lanes he had gone around, making sure that the people of the Zhao family had not caught up, so he stopped and began to beat his head with his hands.

After beating more than ten times, Zhou Hecai collapsed on the ground with a "wow" and cried, this cry was not loud, but it was extremely sad.

Zhou He wanted to scold himself, he messed everything up, and there was not much surplus food at home, but what about him, he had to argue with the Zhao family's dog for the mere twenty yuan.

As for herself, she can barely survive for a few days, but what about Madame, what can she do?

Thinking of this, Zhou He couldn't help crying louder, crying for a while, Zhou He stood up and rushed home, the time is not early, if you don't go back, Mrs. will be worried.

Zhou He cleaned up his mourning Qi Rong as he walked, and when he was about to get home, Zhou He regained his honest and honest face.

When he came to the door of his house, Zhou He took out the key and opened the lock on the door, but before Zhou He could take a step, there were several footsteps behind him, followed by a loud shout.

"Don't move."

Then, under Zhou He's stunned, a group of patrolmen swarmed him and surrounded him, and then a young man walked over slowly.

Zhou He looked at the young man who was walking towards him and exclaimed, "Lord Wang? ”

Wang Wu still has a solemn face, since then under the guidance of his sister-in-law Liu Hong, he has done the patrol of Zhuo County, although he has not done anything evil, but he is also the same dust as the light and dust for eating and taking cards, so it is normal for the man in front of him to recognize himself.

"Your Excellency...... Come...... Xiaomin here...... Do? The small people are ...... Not...... Yes...... Something that violates the law. Seeing Wang Wu slowly walking towards him, Zhou He's voice trembled involuntarily.

Wang Wu ignored Zhou He, came to him, nodded to the few people around Zhou He, and then separated two people from the outermost part and walked towards the courtyard, and after a while, a voice came from inside: "My lord, there is a discovery." ”

Wang Wu looked at Zhou He at this time, his eyes were majestic: "What else do you have to say now." ”

Zhou He was like having his bones removed from his body, and his body suddenly softened, but fortunately, the patrolmen who surrounded Zhou He at this time lent a helping hand, so Zhou He was not paralyzed.

……

"Sister-in-law, the patients in this city are basically isolated." In the county office, Wang Wugong told Liu Hong.

"Well, it's good, Ziyong, you're doing a good job." Liu Hong rubbed his eyebrows and complimented.

"By the way, are there any people infected in this?"

Wang Wu immediately shook his head: "No, they all follow my sister-in-law's orders, the package is tight, and there are no people infected, but——"

"But what?"

"But something happened in the meantime."

"What, let's hear it."

With Liu Hong's permission, Wang Wu coughed, cleared his throat, and then said: "The day before yesterday, I led a group of patrols to search a family according to the news, this family has a total of two people, but a team of husband and wife, among which it is the wife who is sick, and when we took her away for quarantine, the man actually begged us to take him to quarantine as well, saying that he and his wife get along day and night, and they are also infected with the plague. ”

"And after that?" Liu Hong also had some curiosity at this time.

"After that, we couldn't bear his pleading, and what he said was not unreasonable, so we had to say that he was quarantined."

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows after hearing this, it turned out to be such an ending, but he was relieved that everyone has their own path to take, regardless of what others call right or wrong, good or bad.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed: "It's a lover." ”

"What my brother-in-law said is that Ziyong thinks the same." Wang Wu echoed.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Doctor Zhao, can they have news there?"

Wang Wu shook his head.

Liu Hong was silent, and then waved his hand to Wang Wu: "Ziyong, go down." ”

Waiting for Wang Wu to salute and leave, Liu Hong looked at the door, his eyes flickered, as if he was making a difficult decision.
