Xuanyuan Shengcai's team arrived in Beiyuan County one day later than Chu Huan, and Chu Huan took advantage of this day to make some arrangements and deployments in Beiyuan County.

Nian Xinlan went from a showman to a county magistrate, and this matter spread quickly within a day, and people praised or depreciated Chu Huan's eclectic method of employing people.

Chu Huan did not object to Nian Xinlan's proposal for the rectification of officials, but in Beiyuan County, of course Chu Huan would not help Nian Xinlan to carry out any rectification of officials at the first time, the first thing was just like what was done in Qingtang County, and all the doctors in Beiyuan County were quickly sent to raise the issue of the epidemic again.

Nian Xinlan also knew that this was a top priority, and actively cooperated, and he released his words early to rectify the officials of Beiyuan County, and the officials of Beiyuan County were terrified when they learned of this.

Chu Huan thought that there were many office yamen in Beiyuan County on the road, but the news in Qingtang County was obviously inaccurate, the Ningshan area of Beiyuan County was more than ten miles away, and there were indeed troops stationed, but only one battalion of men and horses remained, and the other battalion of men and horses had been transferred to Jiafu City in Jiazhou, and the officials who had retreated from the northern states and counties had begun to move to the original site sporadically as early as three months ago, and the officials of Jiafu City had moved the most, and since then, officials of all sizes in Jinzhou, Yuezhou and Hezhou have also moved away from Beiyuan County.

In this situation, Chu Huan is happy to see that the officials and the people return to their places, and this Xiguan can operate normally.

Chu Huan didn't have too much energy to personally arrange the isolation affairs, and the specific things were directly handed over to Nian Xinlan, who had just taken office, although Nian Xinlan was a new official, he was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and the organization of manpower was very powerful, Chu Huan was waiting for Xuanyuan Shengcai's team in Beiyuan County, and he was always worried about Su Niang's situationBut they are helpless, and there is no means to cure the disease.

Chu Huan looked for more than a dozen doctors in a row, hoping for even a glimmer of light, but all the doctors were very smug about the situation of the epidemic, but when it came to how to treat it, they had nothing to say.

He was in a very bad mood, and when Xuanyuan Shengcai's team came to Beiyuan County, Chu Huan knew that things were starting to be more serious than he imagined.

Chu Huan came to Beiyuan County in advance, and saw Su Niang once on the way, but at that time, he just felt that Su Niang looked very tired and weak, and her forehead was a little hot, so that she did not have other symptoms.

But when I saw Su Niang again in Beiyuan County, Su Niang already had a high fever, and she was a little shaky when she walked, and what was even more terrifying was that Su Niang's face began to be a little swollen, and her arm began to swell, and every once in a while, she would cough continuously, Chu Huan was anxious and uncomfortable, and she placed Su Niang well, and hurriedly summoned Sun Boliu, who was accompanying her, to inquire about her condition.

Sun Boliu also looked very serious, although he knew that Chu Huan didn't like to listen to it, but he didn't dare to deceive, and said: "My lord, Madame's physique is already very good, so it is only today that such a puffy situation appears, and if you are a woman with a weak physique, it is much more serious than Madame's current situation." ”

Chu Huan's expression had been ugly, and he asked, "Is there no way now?" Can we only watch? ”

Sun Boliu sighed: "On the way, the villain also prepared the antidote for his wife to drink, but the effect was very small, the medicine was not right, and it didn't work at all." ”

"How much time is left?" Chu Huan clenched his fists.

"This ...... It shouldn't be too long. Sun Boliu said solemnly: "The body has begun to appear swollen, then the epidemic virus in the body will spread rapidly, even if the lady was in good health before, but now she can no longer resist the epidemic virus in the body, and within three days, the whole body will be completely occupied by the epidemic virus, and the skin will begin to fester......!" ”

Chu Huan raised his hand to stop it, not letting Sun Boliu continue.

Sun Boliu still wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Huan's painful expression, he knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only get up and retreat, helpless.

Su Niang was arranged in the main room of the backyard of the county government, and the Janesi sisters actually didn't know that Su Niang had been infected with the plague, but they all knew that Su Niang was very seriously ill, although she and Su Niang were not similar in temperament on weekdays, and they rarely walked together even in Beijing's mansion, but they were also worried about Su Niang's condition.

The courtyard where Su Niang lives has long been sealed, and no one is allowed to enter it to avoid infection, in fact, on the way, Sun Boliu has already warned everyone not to get close to Su Niang.

When Chu Huan came to Su Niang's courtyard, Sister Janice was whispering something outside the courtyard, and Rulian was clasping her hands together, closing her eyes and chanting, praying for Su Niang.

Chu Huan has always felt guilty, he knew that it would be such a result, he should have gone to the northwest alone, instead of bringing Su Niang's family members.

Rulian and Janice didn't speak when they saw Chu Huan coming, they also saw that Chu Huan's expression was solemn, these women were also smart girls from Bingxue, and they knew that Su Niang's condition should be very serious, otherwise Chu Huan would not have such an expression, seeing that Chu Huan was in a bad mood, they didn't dare to disturb.

Chu Huan entered Su Niang's house alone, Su Niang was already asleep because of the high fever, but arranged for a maid with a mask and gloves to wait for Chu Huan to come in at any time in the house, waved her hand and signaled the maid to retreat first, pulled over the chair, and sat on the edge of the bed, because her face was swollen, Su Niang had already covered her face with a silk scarf, so that no one could see it, even if she lay down to rest, she covered her face with a silk scarf.

Chu Huan sat on the edge of the bed, gently lifted the edge of the quilt, and saw Su Niang's hand, which was really swollen, although it was not ulcerated, but the color was already a little dark blue.

He was about to reach out to hold Su Niang's hand, the tips of his fingers just touched, Su Niang's hand was like a frightened rabbit, and immediately retracted into the quilt, Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and heard Su Niang's somewhat hoarse voice say: "Erlang, you ...... You can't touch ...... Otherwise, you will ...... ...... will die too! Her voice was not as clear as before, and it was hoarse, like she had something in her throat.

Chu Huan didn't want Su Niang to be asleep, looking at her haggard appearance, listening to her hoarse voice, she counted her heart, but she reluctantly smiled: "What nonsense, who said that she would die ......!" ”

"You...... You don't have to lie to me......! Although Su Niang was covered with a silk scarf on her face, she still seemed to be afraid of being seen by Chu Huan like this, twisted her face inside, and faced Chu Huan with the back of her head, "Erlang, the old man has said that his life ...... I know that they don't know what disease I have, but ...... But I know ...... myself! ”

Chu Huan wanted to hold Su Niang's hand, but Su Niang shrank her hand into the quilt and didn't let him touch it, he could only hold his face, and he didn't let Su Niang see the expression on his face, but he tried his best to calm himself, and said softly: "Su Niang, don't think nonsense, it's not as serious as you think, I've already found a doctor here, and they are discussing how to diagnose and treat it, and they will be able to come up with a way to ...... it soon!" ”

"Erlang, you...... Don't lie to me, I'm ...... Although I am very stupid, I ...... what I look like in my heart The heart is clear. Su Niang sighed softly: "When I was on the road, I was very scared...... I knew I was going to die, and I was afraid I was ...... I'm dying on the way, and I can't even look at you one last time, now...... Now I'm not afraid, you're next to me, I'm ...... I'm not afraid......! ”

"It's me who is not good." Chu Huan's voice was slightly choked, "I shouldn't have brought you to the northwest, it's all my fault......!" ”

"Don't...... Don't talk nonsense, this ...... It's human ......! Su Niang seemed to want to look at Chu Huan, slowly turned her head, and looked at Chu Huan through the silk scarf, "You take me with you wherever you go, in fact...... In fact, I am very happy in my heart...... you are my man, follow you, that is...... That's my blessing......! Speaking of this, Su Niang coughed violently again, Chu Huan hurriedly got up, went over to serve tea, and when he got to the bedside, he was about to help Su Niang, Su Niang had already exclaimed: "No...... Don't come near me, don't ......! ”

She was as if she was greatly frightened, and when she saw Chu Huan approaching, she tried her best to go inside, for fear that Chu Huan would touch her.

Chu Huan sighed, sat down again, and said, "I said I would take good care of you, but ...... But it's not good for me to make you suffer. ”

"Don't say that......!" Seeing Chu Huan sitting down and not continuing to come closer, Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "Erlang, my illness can't be cured...... I've heard people say it before, it's ...... It's incurable, I'm going to die soon, can't ...... I can't bother you...... But though I was not afraid, I ...... But I'm a little worried......!"

"What are you worried about?"

"When my mother leaves, let me take good care of you by your side, but ...... I can't do it anymore...... If you are alone, will there be no one to take care of you? Su Niang's eyes under the silk scarf looked at Chu Huan, flickering slightly, "Will they ...... Won't it be good for you......? Then he sighed faintly: "Actually, I married you, but I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother-in-law...... You're always out there, I'...... I can't do it even if I want to take care of you...... Jiro, you ...... Do you know what my greatest wish is? ”

Chu Huan's eyes were red, and although he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice was still a little choked, and he asked softly, "What do you want?" ”

"Actually...... In fact, my greatest wish is to ...... It is......! Su Niang seemed to hesitate, but finally said: "Actually, my greatest wish is to be able to ...... for you Bear you a pair of children...... be a man's daughter-in-law, if...... If you can't bear children for your husband, you ...... It's not a good daughter-in-law, I'm ...... I want to be a good daughter-in-law......! ”
